THE STATE OF IDAHO.

/ he constitutional convention Is
no" becoming a matter of interest ia
our people, and there is considerable
discussion as to the range of the or.
game law, as we'll as the quality of
talent required to draw up a suitable
instrument. 1t has been CUSTOMARY
to send the ablest men to make con.
stitutlons, but as there is practically
no pay for the members Of the Idaho
convention, it is doubtful if it will be
composed altogether of the Terrific
ry's wisest men. In one sense a
great deal Of talent may not be nee
essary, as there are some forty con.
stltutons to select from, yet there
are so many local issues which must
be definitely shaped that the framing
OF our organic law should not be
lightly considered. 1t is customary
III making constitution to start out
with preamble and follow it with
the boundaries of the proposed State,
eminent domain, distribution of pow
er-legislative, executive and judicial
suffrage and election, declaration
of rights, officers, education, finance,
corporations, etc. All these topics
take a wide range, but we only pro-
pose to allude to them briefly. The
distribution of power is an important
subject. How many members shall
compose the Legislature and how
shall the Judiciary be divided? In
our Judgment every county should
have one Councilman and no more.
This would give the minority repre-
sentation. The Representatives of
the Lower House should be appor-
toned according to the population
and limited to thirty, without any
''joints." Provisions should be made
for four judicial districts and a su.
preme bench of four judges. Re.
garding compensation for services
the Governor ought to be paid So,
900 year, each of the Judges 50,
900 year, and Legislators s. a da,
for forty days and ten cents mile
each way. The session of Legisla
ture should begin after January anC
be held every two years. Suffrag'
will invite hard fight, and on thi
may depend the fate of the constltu
ton. The Mormon question will NJ
doubt be sprung with its full force
Taxation is another important sub
ject. Upon it will depend the pros
peritv of the new State. What vii
be done with corporations is gray
topic. These are the leading feature
of constitution, and they must b
shaped to meet the demands of tn
voters or the conventions work wi
be cast aside.

,r, vi the Opposition.
he opposition to statehood for
Idaho, which is centered in five news
papers out of forty, or nearly that
humber, IS SO weighty as to demand
attentlon--thoughtful, serious, terri
bly, earnest and deep attention and
consideration. The first is, Idaho is
Republican Territory, and if ad-
mltted will he a Republican State.
This is well nigh self-evident, and
the ground work and deduction are so
frmly linked that it would take more
than a herculean effort to put them
asunder. We will admit the sound
ness of the premises and deduction.
and will not make a fool Of ourself
by attempting to upset them. So

Second when Idaho becomes a State
someone will be elected Governor.
two Senators will be elected; also a
Representative and other officials.
Facts undeniable. But here's the
rub. A whole army OF Idahoans are
looking forward to the honors to be
bestowed when we select our own
officials. This is terrible to contem-
plata state of affairs calculated
to make the patriots blood run cold,
and the only consoling thought is the
fact that all this army cannot be
elected, and no matter how long state
hood is deferred, this same terrifying
state Of affairs will confront US when
we do finally consent to put on ouI

with lamp oil and tie on the neck.

This remedy is not new, and not
nearly so reliable as the treatment of
sklllful physician who is up with
the times in his profession. This was
proven when diphtheria ragged at this
place several years ago. DR.. Zipf
saved nearly every one of his pa
tients all, we think, that it was pos
sible for the most skillful treatment
to cure. Where the above remedy
was used, but not by regular ply
sician, the patients died. Probably
this " remedy" will stay the ravages
Of the disease in some cases, aud may
be useful in places where the service:
of skillful doctor cannot be secured
as soon as the disease makes its ap
pearance. If diphtheria again breaks
out in this county, the surest way t'
save patients and stop the ravages o
the dreaded disease, is to summon
regular practicing physician. Bois
county has three such-Dr. Wade, o
PlacerviIle, and Drs. Zipf and Lip

a remedy of this kind would no dout
