A decision which attracts wide at
tention in Utah and the territories has
just been rendered by the courts of
Idaho. The decision involves the
right of suffrage of those who at one
time have been members of the
Mormon church. but afterwards sew
cred their connection with it. Under
the Edmunds law the ri ght of citizen.
ship is denied to polygamists. The
Mormons have, however, evaded this
provision by seemingly renouncing
their allegiance to their faith. The
case in question turned upon the cleo
ton of a sheriff in one of the count
les of Idaho chosen by the votes of
ex-Mormons. The court decided
that such an election was illegal, on
the ground seemingly that once a
Mormon always a Mormon, and con
sequently such votes were not to be
counted. Should the case be carried
10 3 higher tribunal and here the de-
eision be reafiirmed, it would strike
blow at Mormonism which that
sect could hardly survive.

James Wilson, of Iowa says: @
The pinch into which Iowa farmers
have got by dependence on foreign
countries for Irvine material is not
new. When the war began we were
dependent on foreign countries for
clothing munitions, and cash.
The country changed its policy,
and now we make munitions
and clothing for land operations.
The many frequent cuffs, insults and
disobligements we have been lately
receiving from foreign nations
brought our government to the
creation of a modern navy. Many
things have to be done among which
is building big guns. The nation
is setting out to supply itself, as the
sensible and certain way. At one
time we had many factories in the
West for working of our flax fibers.
This is the best material the world
ever saw for making Irvine, and our
people went to work building mills
to work it up. The flax straw as it
comes from the rhrcshing machine
is not fit for making fine linen, but
il makes excellent Irvine. The build.
ing Of mills to work UP flax took
place in the seventies. About this
time the Eastern people discovered
that they could bring substitutes for
fax from abroad, as ballast, cheaper
than they could get our flax tow
from the west. SO they sent Gen.
Butler to congress TO get the duty
taken off the substitutes for hax-iute
and the like. The duty was taken
of and every mill in the west stop
ped. while jute, sisal, MANILA and
other foreign tiboTs were introduced
more fully than before, and mills
built to work them up. The west
protested, and the duty was put back
but the mischief had been done.
Capital, skilI and confidence had
vanished.

Laneburg Leaflets.

Health good.
 Several are done planting cotton.
 A heavy rain fell here Saturday and considerable hail m places.
 Mir. Gam, one of our most ener- getic and prosperous farmers, is a man of great faith as well-he has built his cotton pens.
 l, as well as others of his numer- ous friends of Albany, was glad to see the jolly editor of the PIcAyuNE among us, the other Sunday. Come again, you are ever welcome.
 Mir. Cal Jones and others, of Lane burg and vicinity, captured a turtle in Carouse creek last week, which was indeed a monster. They brought it out and when correctly weighed !, it kicked the beam at S2 lbs. They butchered and cooked it, and those who ate of it say it was boss. It was what is known as a loggerhead.
 Mir. W. k. Mum and number of others, camped and fished on the Carouse last Friday night. They re- port fine success. Among the fish caught was fine cat fish, captured by Mir. R, Austin, weighing l2 lbs. But for the heavy rain Saturday morning the pleasures of their trip might have been more enviable.
 Rev. Mir. Reeves was on hand at Laneburg the first Sunday evening, but owing to a large per cent. of his usual audience attending services at Harmony, comparatively small number was present. He will preach again the first Sunday evening in May, after which l learn he will change his appointment to II o'clock a. m. Coop LUCK.

NEWSPAPER CRITICISM.

It is a privilege every newspaper reserves to itself to criticise, ad- versely if needs be, for the public s benefit, anything in which the public Is deeply interested.
 It is the custom of II. H. Warner X Co.,, proprietors of the renowned Kidney and Liver Cure, better known as "Warner's Safe Cure," to flood the country, and especially the post offices, with medical pamphlets. The writer has taken the liberty to exam inc one of these marvellous little books, and finds food for criticism, but before indulging in it, will give our readers some quotations there from, from the highest medical au- thorities, which we believe worthy of consideration. Under the head of 'No Distinctive Symptoms Appar- ent, we find:

eases are increasing at the rate of 250 per cent decade Edwards.
 Third-Bright's Disease has no symptoms of its own and may long exist without the knowledge of the patient or practitioner, as no pain will be felt in the kidneys or their viclnity.-[ Roberts.
 Fourth-In the fatal cases-and most cases have hitherto been fatal the symptoms of diseased kidneys will appear in extremely different or gans of the body as stated above.- [Thompson.
 SiXth-Bright's Disease, which usually has three stages of develop ment, is universal disease in Eng land and Amerlca.- Roberts and Edwards.
 Thompson is authority for saying that more adults are carried off in this country by kidney disease than any other malady except consump- ton. Under Warmers Safe Cure" article on Consumption, we find a paragraph claiming to be quotation from q publication issued by Bromp- ton Hospital for Consumptives, Lon- don, England, which states that 52 per cent. of the patients of that ln- stitution have unsuspected kidney disorder. Dr. Herman Brehmer, an eminent German authority, also says that consumption is always due to deficient nutrition of the lungs, be- cause of bad blood.
 Medical science can no longer dis pute the fact that the kidneys are the principal blood purifying organs of the human system, and if they are diseased and thus fail to expel the uric acid poison or the waste matter of the blood, as the blood passes through these two great organs, the Safe Cure" claim is correct, and the reasoning of it's proprietor holds good.
 There is no doubt but that in too many instances the medical fraternity doctor for symptoms, instead of striking at the root of the disease, and that under this form of treat ment many patients die.
 We cannot, however, see the neces- sity of continually flooding the coun- try with these advertising medical books, when their story once well told is enough for the time being. People as rule, nowadays, go to their newspaper for information, and we believe such truths as we have instanced could be proclaimed therein more advantageously to the public and much more beneiicially to the proprietors.

 We noticed that Miss NJ. k. had a new fellow Sunday to escort her to and from church. Lee BrockmaI looked quite mechanically. Better spur up, Lee, those Prescott fellows are very popular among the girls.
 Look at the blank space in last weeks Dispatch. My prophecy is coming to pass, for knew that we would not have them to snow under any more under the name of U l.. F. In that issue he acknowledges that the U. l.. party is not strong enough to become a national party. Of course, that's what we all know, and in this last election they voted the Republican ticket straight out, and they can no longer deny being Re publicans, and we see that Prescott has two negro.tow officers elected by U. L. P's. By this act they show their colors plainly. That looks to me like negro equalization. Not so with the good old Democratic party. We can always find good substantial white men to put on our ticket.
