PECULIAR PEOPLE.

Nothing was ever more true than the
old saving that politics makes strange ped
fellows In Idaho the achievements OF pol
itics in the matter of sleeping companions
&c wonderful indeed. In the latest issue OF
the Boise city Democrat we find this athda-

ROSE CITY, Idaho. August s, 1888. o.
S,Ibscrihed and sworn to before me this SIN
cav OF August, 1885. JULIUS SHAINw5ALD;
' Notary Public
The Mr.. DUBOIS referred to in the above
&c the present Delegate to Congress from
our neighbor territory, and the gentleman
,rho makes the affidavit has long been rec
oonized as the Republican boss in Idaho
When the paper was sworn to and fol-
some time tefore, PRIDE and DUBoIs were
l,o5 friends: that is to say, they were not
friends at all, and were opposing each
other with all the energy they were able tt
command. A year or two ago they KISSED
"a made M. since which time Mr.. PRIDE
hos been one of Mr.. DUBOIS chief Eench
non doing the bidding of the latter witt
a readiness and subserviency which
is sweet TO behold. During the
1oe+ Congressional campaign, wher
~ DrEo1s was a candidate for re
o1oo+ion Mr.. PRIDE performed good ser
vice for him both as committeeman ant
wire muller. If our memory Is not at fauI
M. PRIME was also on the stump for thu
mon whom he was on record as denouncinl
&c stuffer of ballot-boXes, an election
buIlv and bull-6ozer, a frequenter OF bat
bouses. saloons and gambling dens, o
,,aclting iuries, and so on. Mr.. PRIDE IS al
eesoo-boIder from ancient times, and
obronic seeker after office. There are SOM
,oeitions in Idaho which he has not occu
niad hut not many and the exceptions ar
Iniunnortant. Soon after the inauguration 0
tho nresent administration he was give
a place in the government assay office, In
presumption being that the salary was con
ferred as payment for his services in be
half of DUBOIS.
We do not imagine that it troubles MI
DUBo1s very much to see the above afidavl
in print. inasmuch as the. subscriber ma
been conquered and is probably willing [
swear that what he swore to before wa
false: but it must be anything but pleas
ont 70 Mr.. PRIDE to read his certificate {
DUBOIS character, and know that he is ca
ing the bread supplied by man guilty
so many offences. There are pecula
peopie in this world.
