Concerning Electricity.
Electric Power

AS the use of electricity becomes
more general there is increased Curl
osity to learn what il Is. Ii Is consid-
cred mysterious force, because in it's
normal condition il cannot be seen.
The wire which conveys the current
gives no manifestation of the energy
which is passing through it. just as
the poet said 1--WE take no note of
time save from its loss" so with cleo
tricity-it must be measured as ii
flies. 1t is true, however, that its
laws are perfectly understood.
Is il necessary that we should know
what il is2 Nothing is more familiar
to us than the action of gravitation.
We know that 1t is the attraction of
the earth. 1t holds the atoms of the
earth together and enables us to per-
form all of the operations which make
up our daily life. Ii is, however, q
mystery, but its laws are all well
known, and if we violate them by
iumping off a precipice, should we
consider the force of gravity necessa-
rily dangerous2

terry. 1t has been familiar to mankind
since the dawn of civilization, yet how
many people know that Ii is transpar-
ent and therefore invisible until ii
comes in contact with the air? The
natural laws governing the generation
and use of steam are not as well under
stood to-day as are those which have
been formulated by the scientific in
vestigation of electricity.

AMosG the many admirers Of the
political course Of Delegate Dubois
The Idaho Denoerat cannot be
reeknoned as one; but as between
him aud those of his party who are
sobsning for his overthrow the
sympathies Of this paper are decided
ly with him. Had it not been for
the work Of Mr.. Dubois in Washing.
ton last winter in preventing the dis.
memberment Of Idaho it would no,
have been possible for those sohemers
who are now piping for his political
downfall 70 have met in constitutional
convention. Should Congress admit
Idaho aud another Republican chosen
to the L, 5. Senate with Governor
Shoup, Delegate Dubois should be-
the one. lie has earned it, deserves
it, and is entitled to the distinguished
honor Democrat.

Idaho Eaiefprise.

The Silver City Avalanche, after
;ndalging IA the most feryent hope
that the people will ratify the State
Constitution, proceeds TO select Sen
aiorial timber FROM both Democratic
and Republican groves. In the
opinion Of the Avalanche, Governor
Sboup aud VIM. II. Clagett oonsti-
tute about the only available material
in ,he Republican ranks; but that
acute journal manages to ind larger
selection and greater variety amidst
the Democratic forces; concerning
these, however, we have nothing TO
say. The Enterprise hnds itself
strictly ~ accord with the Avalanche
in sustaining Governor Shoup for
Senatorial dignity, but widely diver
gent with respect to Mr.. Clagett, be-
cause there is in Idaho to-day a man
entitled to tke first consideration Of
the Republican party; man whose
name should stand first. foremost and
pre-. eminently above all others; a
man who has twice lead the party to
victory; who has stood 10 the Con-
grcss Of the United States and de-
feEdea the rights OF our settlers and
miners; who has brought our Terri
tory iuto prominence and done more
10 make Statehood for Idaho a posi-
blaty than any other living man.
Now, what we pray, has Mr..
ClAgett ever done 10 en.itle him to
such proud distinction. We do not
question the gentleman's ability nor
his integrity; but viii the Avalanche
kindly inform us how, when and
where Mr.. Claget, distinguished him
self in the interests Of this Territory
IL is true Mr.. Clage,t made himself
quite prominent during the Constitu
tional Convention and gained the
reputation Of being an able presiding
officer, and perhaps the Avalanche is
anxious to send him 70 the Senate
IN order TO demonstrate to that body
that Idaho is developing a keen taste
Tor parliamentary etiquette. Laying
aside other considerations, Mr. Clag.
ett's short residence IN Idaho pre-
sents strong objection to bis pre-.
ferment, for the present, and the
presentation of bis name, at this
time, will rather injure than advance
his cause. The Republican party OF
this Territory has a debt to pay which
il can not honorably repudia,e, and
which upon tho admission Of Idaho
through the labors of Delegate Du-
bois will become more binding than
ever. Yet this whole matter is pre-
mature aud thousand unforeseen ae.
cidents may occur before the star OF
Idaho nes,les among the constellation
OF States.
