TDAIiO'S CLAIM.

Less Is perhaps generally known of Idaho than of most of the territC rieS still out of the family of states. It Is likely to be much better advertised ip the future. The senate irrigation committee spent some time there, and will no doubt report in favor of government aid to the needed irrigation. One of the senators is credited with the statement that it has more agricultural lands than all the other territories. which is difficult to credit. Idaho has prepared a state con- stitution and Is about ready to ask for admission, as result. as claimed. of en- couragement from Washington. Were it not for the prevalent mood to get rid of the territories by making them states, there might be criticism of the lmmatu- rity and numerical paucity of Idaho as a state, but it has of late voted with the party in power and is counted as reliably set in that direction. You the politics of a community ought to have no bearing upon the matter of sc enduring a character as statehood. One is causual and temporary, and the other perpetual. The special embarrassment in the case Of Idaho is the Mormon element. This comprises about one fourth of the population. To relieve this obstacle the convention has put into its constitution the most radical anti Mormon section that could be devised A doublv iror-clad test oath Is provided which will disfranchisc all connected with the Mormon church. It will pre- sent the novelty as q state of having one-quarter of its male citizens debarreC from holding office or voting, although they pay One-fifth of the taxes. A case involving the constitutionality of thI test oath and disfranchisement which have been in ope ration two years in the territorial enactments, has been taken t, the United States supreme court and | attracting wide attention. Its deter imitation will materially effect the chances of Idaho for admission. The Mormons as voters would hold the balance of power between the republi cans and democrats.

A NANELESS COWARD.

We had supposed that know w-nething- ism was a thing of the past and that the believers in its doctrines had been silenced. Occasionally. however, We read of isolated cases, where race or religious hatred are displayed with all the vigor of the days of 1858. The writer of an anonymous communlca- tion received at this office yesterday. who signs himself Thomas Jefferson Democrat" is about as sneaking a speci- men of know othingism as could well be imagined
 The writer finds fault because we re- gently published editorials upon the Catholic congress at Baltimore and one or two other Catholic subjects having a nati' nal importance, and suggests that the "Catholic Howler' would be an ap- propriate name for the DEMOCRAT. The communication goes on to tell how d paper should he conducted and advises us to lead. not to follow and concludes by saying that if we do not follow the line laid out. the writer will discontinue his paper.
 An anonymous communication is hardly worth noticing at all. but the nameless creature who objects to our writing upon subjects treated at length by every great paper in the country. secular as we'll as religious. is made al exception to the general rule.

 Some weeks. or months rather, ago B certain young lady who dwells in an Pittsburgh family. The length of the visit was not prescribed. The young lady came and stayed all June; then all July. and when August came she showed l.o signs of moving She was medium weight, averagc-looking, fairly agreeable young person. and during June her hosts enjoyed hey society. In July they began to grow weary of her, aAld the verge of August brought them to the verge of a genuine dislike for the guest. Still they were too well-bred to show their feelings, and if there had not been a mischievous boy of fourteen in the fam fly have no doubt the girl would still be emulating the example of the Old Man of the Sea. It was this boy who conceived the plan to start the tarrier homeward. He studied society jour- nal for the correct style and then wrote to paper which makes speciality of such things the following paragraph:
