The Idaho Convention Troubles.

BOISE CRY, July 12.--Tbe convention ia
frame a constitution for the admission ol
Idaho, has been in session here one week.
Congress failed to give Idaho an enabling
act, the same as ether territories, but there
was such q strong sentiment in favor oil
statehood that the governor called for q
convention. This was after he had been
assured by the members OF congress that a
good constitution, ratified by the people,
would secure admission early the next SEES.
sion and also the payment OF expenses Of
the convention.
The chief difficulty likely to arise is upon
the question OF suffrage. The Mormons
formerly held q balance OF power, throw
Ing their vote to the party thought to be
most available for their uses. Five years
ago the passage OF the test.oath cut them
of. As q last resort hundreds OF Mormont
withdrew from the church, last fall, and
voted, and succeeded in Bingham county
in electing Hart, their choice o.
ticket. The fact that the Mormons
are coloniEing portions OF Idaho makes
this such a dangerous element that anti
Mormon Republicans and Democrats o.
the convention insist that they be shorr
oil power to do evil. This que ton viii
come up in the convention tomorrow and
excite a lively discussion.
Women suffrage, prohibition the COVER
nOring OF corporations and trusts will also
be considered.

BsMARcK. N. D., July lathe morning
COMMITTEES on judiciary to-day developed
the fact that there will be considerable
difficulty in settling the work Of this com.
mittee. There is no question as to the

be judicial lights for the emoluments oil
Office.
When the convention assembled in the
afternoon q motion to authorize the Joint
commission in charge OF the division OF

the constitution, among which were provi.
sions that counties lying north OF the sew
enth parallel, rs they Bow exist, be de-
clared counties OF the new state. No new

consent Of q majority OF the voters Thereof;
and nc county seat shall be removed with.
out consent at q general election OF two.

Moer offered q resolution that the ques.
ton OF the right OF the state to tax the
roadbed and rolling stock OF the Northern

WICKERSHAM is FREE.
END OF sEATTLE,S PROSECUTION
OR PERSECUTION.

A Nolle Prosequt Finally n II
Favor OF Judge wickersham-Ths
New Afadavits Of Miss Brantne1
Make This Termination of the Case
Possible.
TACOMA, July 12.-Argument for q new
trial in the Wickersham -Brantner cast
concluded in the district court, Tuesday
After the attorneys had concluded their
arguments the matter Of the last affidavit
sworn to by Miss Brantner was taken up
and witnesses to the affidavit questioned
by Judge Allyn. The witnesses were Dis.
trict Clerk A. Reeves Ayers, Judge Beverly
OF the probhte court, and attorney e. W.
Taylor. The witnesses testified that
Miss Brantner signed the affidavit OF her
own free will in their presence.
Judge Allyn delivered q long opinion on
the motion for q new trial, and cited au-
thorities to show that the granting Of a
new trial was usual in such cases where the
Judge who heard the evidence was not the
one to sentence the prisoner. For this
reason, II for no other, the court held that
q new trial should be granted, that the de.
PENDANT might have the benefit OF every
doubt that might arise in the minds OF the
Judge, as we'll az in the minds OF the jury,
during the progress Of the trial.
Furthermore, he held that the signing oil
the new afidavits by Miss Brantner, the
prosecuting witness, threw o ii;
Il LIGHT ON THE CASE, .
and the affidavit offered as evidence in the
case on the part Of tho defendant might be
classed as new evidence, which it was i'm.
possible for him to obtain before. For
these reasons he ordered that q new trial
DO granted.
District Attorney Newlin Of Seattle, arose
and moved q nolle prosequi, stating that,
by, II ason OF thu new affidavit, signed and
sworn to by Miss Brantner, and offered in
evidence BY the defendants, doubts had
arisen in the mind OF the prosecuting at.
torney.
Judge Allyn replied that IL doubts had
arisen in the mind OF the prosecuting at.
torney, il was very probable that those
same doubts would arise in the mind OF the
court, and he ordered that q nolle prosequi
be granted. ,
Judge James Wickersham, the defendant
in the celebrated case, sat near one OF the
tables in front Of the judges bench during
the proceedings. He appeared to be uneon.
cerned in the matter which concerned him
so much, and was congratulated on the de.
cisiou. This practically concludes the cele.
brated case.

And for the Democracy.

Tue SUN believes that the campaign for the
election Of Il Democratic Congress in 1890 and
u Democratic President in 1892 should begin
on or about the fourth of next March. THF
SUN will be on hand at the beginning and I'M
til the end of the most interesting and impor-
tant political conflict since the war, doing its
honest utmost, as ever, to secure the triumph
of the Democratic party ana the permanent
supre1nacy,of the principles held by Jefferson,
Jackson and Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the return to
absolute power " the common enemy of all
good Democrats-the political Organization
for whose overthrow The Z fought ut tho
front for fifteen years, the memorable years
of Grant and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield
and Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront, and he will be intrvfsc7od in
the same strong position, 1t has been car
ried once by brave and hopeful fighting. Do
you not believe with THE SUN that the thing
can be done again2 Wait and seel
The hope of the Democracy is in the loyal
efforts of Il united press, cherishing no memo
ries of past differences in non%-essentials, for
getting everything but the lessons of export
ence, and that victory is a duty.
Probably you know THE SUN already as q
newspaper which gets all the news and prints
it in incomparably interesting shape; which
chronicles facts as they occur and tells tho
truth about men and events with absolute
fearlessness, making the completest and most
entertaining journal published anywhere on
earth; and which sells its opinions only to its
subscribers and purchasers at two cents a

D0NA ANA VS.. SIERRA.

A law vas passed a few years ago
setting off Sierra county from Grant
and Doha Ana counties. The law as it
stands on the statute -hpnk provides that
Sierra county should stand its proportion
of the ieU5 Of the other counties. Sierra
las been a little slow in paying this debt
and Doha Ana sued Sierra for the amount.
Sierra county sets up an unusual de-
tense. 1t is to the effect that when the
division act passed the legislature it did
not contain this provision but that it was
interpolated afterwards.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the Legislature and a committee has
been appointed to investigate the matter,
but has not been able to procure the at
tendance of witnesses.
The LIBERAL had the pleasure of inter
viewing the Hon, John A. Miller on the
subject last Saturday, Mr.. Miller was a
member of the council at the time the di-
vision was made, and was a member
chairman, we think-of the committee on
county lines. Mr.. Miller said:
"When the copy Of the bill that had
passed the house was given to me it con-
tanned no provision for The division Of the
debts. | noticed this, as | was financially
interested IN the subject, being a tax payer
in Grant county. drew the attention Of
the friends of the bill te the fact and told
them it was a hard bill to pass and that
it would be impossible to pass it without
this provision. The friends Of the bill
said that it had been amended so as to
cover this point. The bill was returned to
the house for correction, and was shortly
returned to me with the amendment at
taehed with mucilage. The bill passed
the council and contained the provision
for dividing the debt.
"Col. Rynerson, representing Dofa Ana,
and the Hon. N. G~Alles, representing ST.
ORA, agreed hat the debt should be divid-
ed so that Sierra county should not be re-
quired TO pay the court house bonds which
had been Of no benefit to it. Now Sierra
does not want to pay any Of the debt and
Doha Ana wants hor to help pay all Of it.
II they we're both honest and fair there
would be no trouble"
Nr. hiller's statement should be taken
as authoritative.

The Gold Hill mill is now running at its
