Different Territorial papers are
still claMcrng for Statehood, just as
though the editors of these palladiums
OF light thought they would be elected
to the United States Senate or to the
Governorship. 1t seems to US that
this Statehood scheme has been
sprung at least 10 years too soon.
High taxation and every county
heavily in debt under Territoria al
government, we would like to know
whore and how the benefits of State.
hood would come in? OF course, it
no doubt would create a great many
more places for the hungry parasites
known as Office seekers, thus piling
up taxation with no benefits to the
masses of the people.-Weiser Leader.
The agitation Of the question will
draw the attention of the civilized
world to Idaho in a much more favor
able way and to u greater extent than
millions OF dollars spent in advertising
would.
A State government properly con-
Quoted, with low salaries, would not
DO any more expensive than our pres.
ent Territorial government. The sala-
ries cannot be fixed SO low but that
aspiring patriots can be got to fill
them. And experience has proved
that tho lower the salaries are the bet
ter the service is. In such cases pub
lic-spirited men seek Office for the
honor of it.
II admitted to Statehood we would
get many millions of dollars worth of
public lands with which to support
our State University, our public
schools, our penal institutions, insane
asylum, deaf and dumb asylum, agr-
cultural college, etc.
With two Senators, having votes in
the United States Senate, and a vot-
ing member in the House of Repre-
We could obtain large sums
for internal Improvements; as a Ter
r'tory we cannot expect this. Were
Idaho State she could demand, and
secure, . sum sufficient TO construct
canals and bitches to re.
claim the Snake river valley, for in
stance, which would then afford hap.
py homes for hundreds of thousands
Of settlers owning millions upon mil.
lions Of dollars worth OF taxable
property.
With Statehood our citizens could
claim their share of Federal Offices,
and other "plums" not
now within our reach.
The editor of the TIMES is not one
Of those who aspire to public Office.
He likes the newspaper business, and
'ould not be tempted to abandon it
'ven for seat in Congress-that grave
't all but the most pronounced and
ablest individualisms-where ''fools"
100 frequently rush in," though
angels fear to tread" But he
would like to know that such goals
ire open to the ambitious and deserv-
ng of the commonwealth, who would
'eek an election for the purpose of
oene6,ing their constituents, and thus
making records that would be a part
IT the history of the young State.
Other reasons might be given; but ,
he foregoing should suffice. And {
We will simply add that. to our mind, I
We cannot see how any intelligent.
newspaper man can object to State
lood at present.

and you don't remember when it was your
turn to be bliudfo ded, and you caught her.
how you could see her all the tune, bat still
you lifted the long brown braids aud
SIN 0othet their shiny surface; you touched
the warm, white neck and dimpiei cheek,
and felt for the little ring on her hand that
you put there yourself before you would
tell her name, and how hard 1t was to say
that name anyway before all the people,
ard your changing voice began in the
lower register and ran the gamut to high G
on the last syllablel
And through all the uproar childrenis
voices in merry music rang out from the
minister's study, rising and falling to the
tune of

sang the low, sweet refrain, until in the
ring of little lads in roundabouts and lassies
in short skirts, winding slowly beneath an
arch made by boy and girl with clasped
hands held high above their heads, little
maiden in a scarlet frock was chosen, whose
wealth of brown curls fell over the lads
face as he kissed her.
And then the supper of "baked meat and
beans" and pumpkin pies in square tins of

center; and how the minister lifted up his
voice at the table in eloquent thanksgiving
for being thus blessed in basket and store"
while his wife went down cellar after the
butter, which they had forgotten, and
made the tea ont of the package the groc9r's
wife brought, aud put in some more out of
her own tea caddy to make it strong enough.
Aud what quantities of beans and pickles

save the minister's wife from baking

the notes of his Sunday sermon which he
had laboriously arranged and left on his
study table. But everybody says it was q
grand good donation, and thinks that their

maple molasseS was most generous and
acceptable of all, and that sister B. or

of the little present he gave.

Ranger corners" were followed by heavy
declines In prices, owing to the pressure Of
the stocks of carried making their speedy
realization neces AIRY. Cable advices since
the close Of last month show no such great
weakness this time, and, with the snort
time movement practically abandoned, il is
more taan probable that there is little risk
OF failure to dispose of the stock at a re-
munerative level.
The moral character of such business as

discussions are mostly always of a heated
character. They cannot be said 30 have
done much good. Whilst there is a purely
speculative business, people selling what
they have not got and others buying what
they don't want to receive, there will
always be some to push an undue advan-
tage Of either accident or foresight to an
extremity. The lessons which should be
conveyed can be taken to heart all the same,
and If spinners have learned, with this
latest experience, that their right use of tine

danger of another such ordeal as they and

Not the least interesting feature in con-
nection with the corner was the quick dis
patch given TO steamers arriving with
cotton during the closing days of the month.
The Aurania, which left this port with !, $40
bales on Sept 81, arrived in Liverpool mid
night Sunday, Sept. 20, and by IL a. m.

: Bids to hs Issued in a Couple Of Months
Secretary Tracy's Approval.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 15.-Un-
less unforeseen obstacles be encountered.
within few months after the beginning
Of the next fiscal year-July Icon
tracts will have been let for the con
struction of new war vessels which will, !,
in the aggregate, increase The tonnage
of the navy by nearly fifteen thousand
tons.
Although the majority Of the new
vessels will be small craft compared
with the monster iron clads of Europe,
they will embody in their construction
the latest approved ideas, and from their
high speed and heavy armament, will
be very formidable ships of war. When
Secretary Whitney relinquished his Of
flee, he left as legacy to his successor
the respon ibility for building eight new
vessels, authority for whose construc-
tion was given by the Fiftieth congress
during its session.
The list includes three 2,000-ton cruis-
ers or gunboats, vessels somewhat larger
than the Yorktown, just lin shed, and
similar TO that vessel in many respects,
although embodying many new features
There will be two 3,000-ton cruisers
Thee vessels will be smaller by | 900
tons than the new cruiser Newark, but
by law they are required to attain the
extraordinary speed Of twenty knots an
hour. If this requirement be met, and
the heavy ordnance now in cOntempla-
ton supplied, these fleet boats will be
the terror OF the seas to foreign foe
A great ironclad of 1900 tons, pro-
tected cruiser Of ), 300 tons and small
gunboat Of 800 tons burden complete the
list.
Designs for the vessels have already
been prepared by a naval board, and
await approval by the secretary. Mean
while, in anticipation Of their approval
Commodore Wilson, of the construction
bureau, has aided to the force Of
draughtsman employed in preparing the
details of the designs, and it is believed
that advert sements for proposals for
building some of the vessels could be is
sued within two months. In addition
to the vessels above described con 3ress,
at its last session, provided for the con-
struction of four more cruisers, includ-
ing the l thomas cruising monitor, and in
an emergency their construction could
be commenced within the present year.
