Benner's Prophecies.

On January 2, 1883, nearly one
year ago, Samuel Benner, the pro-
phet, as be is called, made the
:, following prophecies for 1888: The
coming three years after 1883 will
be unusually prosperous; therefore,
it is consistent with the situation,
cyclically speaking, and a sign of
the time, that the low tariff party
must give way to the party which
protects our industries, and assures
at once general prosperity. The
Republican party must and will be
successful in the election this fall to
produce this result. This event l
predict, which will be the cause and
major question OF the times, to
J make a turning point this year
from commercial depression .to
great speculative activity. The
Republican party can and will
solve the surplus problem satisfac-
torily to this country, and without
q sweeping reduction of duties on
imports, and will restore prosperity
by repeating any unfavOrable laws
that may be passed by Congress
under Cleveland.
This year 1883, being the closing
year in cycle of low prices, ever
years from 1881, is the COLDER
opportunity to commence thu
foundation for a business.

Ballot Reform.

Other States besides New York
are agitated over the question of
electoral reform. In both COnnec-
ticut and Rhode Island the question
was prominent one in the recent
State canvass, and in both States
bills are to be introduced at the
coming sessions of the Legislatures
providing for better method of
voting. The main requisites of the
new method are to secure secrecy
of the ballot and to prevcntimprop-
er solicitation of the voter at the
polls.
In Rhode Island a joint special
committee Of the two branches of
the Legislature gave a hearing on
Saturday TO various citizens, who
. set forth alike the evils of the pres
ent system of voting and the
remedies which in their judgment
might cure, or at any rate alleviate,
those evils. Other hearings will be
given, and then the committee will
frame bill.
In Connecticut the matter has
not yet progressed quite SO far.
But the Republican party of the
State has pledged itself to ballot
reform, and that pledge will be re-
deemed. Says the Hartford Even
ing Post: "The compulsory secret
ballot bill, to which the Republican
party pledged itself at the last
election, will undoubtedly be
adopted by the incoming Legisla.

A pathetic scene is described in
Winlcw's Monthly. A wretched
creature, a woman whose appetite
conquered all other motives of
action, was brought before a Chicago

two children, a boy and girl, the
former only seven years of age, but

Our Matchless Climate.

The climate of Idaho is as remark
able and worthy of note as any of the
other many advantages that tend u
render residence in the Territory
so desirable. 1t is well known that
people do not emigrate for their health
but when you can add to the attrac-
tions of money making, home finding
and the rapid requirement of COM
petence to make home happy, the I'M
equaled climate advantages we enjoy
in Idaho, inducements of no ordinary
character can be held out to the thrift
ty and enterprising immigrant. The
prospect of speedy statehood serves
as a persuasive argument to many
who contemplate settling IN our Ter
ritory. and when assured they cannot
only visit our mountains in the winter
but reside in them the year round
with perfect comfort, their desire for
permanent settlement amongst us
vastly increases. The present winter
has been most remarkable, and the
absence of anything like severe wealth
er in this portion of the Territory has
been universally commented on. When
we read the accounts of the cyclones
that have swept over the land in all
directions, the fatal results therefrom
and the intense suffering of thousands
of people from the chilling cold that
prevails during the winter months in
the east, we can bless our stars we

trast between the average temperature
of Idaho and that existing in all the
eastern and most of the western states
is so strong, that after short expert
ence in these ATTITUDES it is generally
difficult matter to reconcile anyone
to the idea of living elsewhere. 1t is
universally conceded we are on the
eve Of many great and important
changes of all descriptions in the ter

pected, but were it generally known
what endless attractions are here offer

Kansas Domestic Life.

Henry Morton, a resident of the
State of Kansas and a faithful and in
dustrious husband, was deserted by
his young wife for handsomer man.
When the handsomer man had grown
tired of the woman, he deserted her
for prettier one and she then re
turned to her former home, Mr.. Nor
ton took her to his heart again and
for little while everything went well.
A few weeks later the handsome man
returned to his home and met Mrs,
Morton. After several interviews they
eloped again. This time, however, the
young wife took large sum of her
husbands money, and the clippers
lived well while the money lasted.
When the last dollar had been spent
the wife returned to her home second
time and was again promptly forgiven,
She remained four weeks and then
left with the balance of her husband S
cash.

This was pretty shrewd trick for
English folks to play: In school dis
trict IN London there were many
parents who reported no children in
their families. In order to find Just
how many children were thus being
kept from school, the school author
tiles got two monkeys, dressed them
gayly, put them in wagon in which
was a brass band, and started through
the district. At once crowds of chill
dren appeared and followed the wagon,
which drove to a neighboring park,
when the school officers went among
the children distributing candies and
getting thier names and addresses.
They thus found that over sixty par
ents kept their children from school;
and as a result of the monkeys, the
brass band, and the candy about 200
little boys and girls have been set at
study.
