The following ARTICLES as applica-
BILE to Louisa as to the town taken
as its subject. 1t is from the Hazel
Green Herald:
"Other towns are iAviting invest
ers and making manufacturers prop
ositions to secure them as perma-
nent fixtures. We brag about the
beauty of our town, and fail to i'm
press the fact upon outsiders. The
whole trouble with our people is
that they are afraid to pay out a
dollar for improvement lest some
one else may be benefited to the
extent of dime. A narrow mind
ed, selfish policy cuts off prosperi-
ty that constantly woos lis but will
not come because of our penurious-
ness. Conl, timber, iron ore are al
most within our grasp, and we might
start some mandatory that would
give employment to several men
and a handsome profit to tie pro
jectors. In .eturn these men would
become good customers of our stores
and our schools. But we hesitate
to inaugurate any ENTERPRISE lest
another man may receive some ben
eft. We send our timber away in
the rough at a ruinously low figure
to be returned to US in manufac;ur-
ee articles al monopoly prices. We
buy wagons, plows, harrows, &c, &C,
that could as well be manufactured
here if we had the true grit and get
up about Us. Now let us nave a
home mandatory and make a
home market for these things
There is plenty of capital to inaug-
urate such PROJECT, and the profits
arising will prosper it from the
start. Such move would save our
people many a dollar, and the mon
ey would thus be circulated at home.
The farmer would pay tho manu-
facturer for his implements, the
manufacturer would pay the me-
chanie for his labor, and the me-
chanic would pay the merchant for
his goods. And the price paid to
one wonld soon regulate the price
paid another. But" some doubt
ing Thomas observes, "we should
have to have machinery to compets
with other places" To be sure VT
would, but had we not better d,
this and make and keep the profits
OF this ma ;hlrery a. home than t,
lpay it out TO a monopoly in some
distant town. A ,lollpr that ono,
gets abroad stays away forever. lie
us organize Commercial Club an'
investigate the favorablensss or fal
lasy of the enterprise. Unless ",
make inquiry we must forever re
main ignorant. Why wait longer2

Ben Harrison is fairly started as
President of the United States.
True he is not President by the
wishes and ballots OF a majority OF
the voters, but by constitutional
forms he has been declared duly
elected. SO there's no use kickin'.
Let US all, as patriotic citizens, hope
lhatsduring the coming four years
the Presidential duties may be per.
formed in an honest, unbiased man
ner.
Grover Cleveland goes out of OF,

Work of tho Fiftieth Congress

The first session of the Congress
that has just closed was the longest
in our history. 1t began the first
Monday in December, 1887, and
was in session continuously till
Oct. 20, 1888, 1t adjourned then,
pending the presidential election
The second, or short session, began
the first Monday in December, 1888,
and expired by limitation March 4,
1889.
Much time was spent during both
sessions over the tariff. First the
house passed the Mills bill, reduc-
ing the revenues about $40, 100000.
The bill then went to the Senate.
In the Senate all of it was stricken
out after the enacting clause and an
other bill substituted.
The secord bill also reduced the
tariff, but some millions less than
that of the House had done. The
bill WAS then returned to the House
for further action. The House rails
ed the point that by striking out
all the Mills bill after the enacting
clause, and substituting another,
the Senate had trespassed that part
of the United States Constitution
which declares that bills for revenue
must originate in the House Of Rep
resentatives. The Senate bill was
therefore claimed by the Democratic
majority to be unconstitutional
and the House refused to concur.
One or two tariff bills were intro
diced into the House in the closing
days OF the session, but no action
was taken. The tariff question is
thus left by the Fiftieth Congress
as it found 1t.
There were introduced into the
House during the Congress just ex-
pired II, $50 bills, resolutions anG
reports into the Senate, 6,S52. OF
all this number 1871 became Jaws.
Most of the acts are Of local in
terest. OF those which have gen.
eral Importance the principal ones
are the law admitting four new
states to the Union and that max
ing the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Cabinet officer, with the title
ofSecretary. Among others are the
granting Of the Nicaragua canal
charter, the act authorizing the gov
eminent to condemn sites for pub
lie buildings, reducing the priceof
passports from S. to 81, restricting
Chinese immigration and raising
the age of consent in the District OF
Columbia to 16 years. The Fittieth
Congress also strengthened the in
terstate commerce lsw,appropriated
half a million to the legal represent
atives Of James B. Eads for work
on the jetties, and S250,000 to ena-
BILE the President to protect the in
terests of the United States in Pam
anna.
An act from which important ia
vorable results for the United States
may flow was that authorizing the
President to arrange a conference
with the South and Central Ameri-
can Republics, with view to closer
commercial relations. Out of this
authorization has grown the Three
Americas conference, which meets
in Washington in October.
A favorable concession to the
live stock interests Of the country
is the law passed by this Congress
admitting free OF duty animals i'm
ported for breeding purposes. An
other law establishes d government
department OF labor. Pensions for
utter deafness have been increased
to $50 month. The maximum
amount of international postal or
ders has been increased from $50
to slO0.=

IDAHO.

The possibilities of Idaho are be.
yond all computation. AS a mining
region the Territory is frst-class, and
as yet it has been but specifically
prospected. Indeed, there are vast
areas of it that as yet have never been
explored. With the laws governing
lead and silver adjusted on fair and
honest basis, the response that the
Territory will make will be something
most magnificent. But after all her
greater and more enduring prosperity
will come through the application of
the water of the Territory to what are
now unproductive lands. We believe
that the surveys will demonstrate that
with the streams utilized the amount
of first-class lands that will be brought
under cultivation will exceed in acres
the full areas of Massachusetts. Con

EVERY condition for an observation
OF Tuesdays solar eclipse was favor
able at this point. The atmosphere
was clear and the day bright and
cloudless. The first contact, the total
ity and the departure were all plainly
visible and while no observations were
taken for scientific purposes every
body was interested and made free
use of smoked glass, and some even
strained their naked eyes in viewing
the strange phenomenon. The mercury
fell sixteen degrees during the time
of passage and it grew 50 dark that
the chickens sought their roost poles.
10 many this was a strange, very
strange sight, very many could not
suppress their fears of evil forebod-
ings because in a long life time they
have never witnessed anything of the
KIND before. Eclipses are common
but such favorable conditions for OBJ
servations as existed here Tuesday
are extremely rare An Indian squaw
who feared for the fate of the sun
and who said he was no good when
obscured, laughed with JOY at his re-
appearance ana said: she all right
agin." Some atmospheric disturb
ances may follow this eclipse but we
have q promise of sunshine and
shadows as long as the world exists
and let US trust in the promise.

THE IDAHO NEWS.


SILENCE is not only golden but it
inspires the mind with the idea of
greatness. In nature it is a mark of
the sublime. In learned men it gives
impressions of their greatness and
their wisdom. As proof in point Gen.
Harrison, president elect, has inspir-
ed the people with more confidence
in his wisdom since he has been keep
ing his own counsels and withhold
ing from the public his policy of adj
ministering the affairs of the govern
ment Gen. Grant was a silent man
who kept his own counsels and the
people had the greatest respect for
him and awaited in patient watchful-
ness his every move. The wise ones
could not tell what was next with him.
When elected president nobody knew
of his cabinet until it was named to
the Senate. Mr. Harrison may pur-
sue the same silent policy and put to
shame all guesses as to his cabinet
and the course he viii pursue, but as
time and patience make mulberry
leaves satin, by waiting, we will know
it all in time.

TINS New Year of 1889 begins its
cycle with many promises of good in
store for trusting, hoping mortals.
Many enter upon their labors with
renewed energies because of those
promises as indicated by signs which
they saperstitiously read: Miners be-
lieve the year will be propitious for
mining because it ends with nine.
Farmers believe it will be a good crop
year because it ends in an odd number.
Cattle men are happy because the
year begins so favorably for their
cattle on the range. Republican poll
ticians see good times ahead because
of the change of administration which
the year brings. Republican federal
office seekers are hopeful because they
want appointments and think they
stand as good chances as the other
fellows, and so on though the long
list of toiling, striving humanity.
Wishes are fathers to thoughts, and
it is cheering to poor mortals to be
encouraged in their expectations and
hopes of better things ahead. The
year VIII be happy and prosperous
one to many if they will but discharge
their duties and obligations to them
selves, to their fellow men and to
their Maker. In starting the New
Year let all take backsights over their
course of the year 1888; correct the
inaccuracies; straighten the crooked
places; pay their VOWS; do TO others as
they would be done by: learn to labor
and to wait and good times will be
found all along their pathway lead
ing from January to December of
1889.
