To he Postmaster at st. Adams.

The St Adams Messenger says: cit is
understood that the nomination of Capt 4.
W Fuller to be postmaster at st. Adams
has been practically agreed upon by the
Vermont delegation in Congress, and that
his appointment is liable to be made any
day upon the recommendation of Congress
man Stewart, who has the matter in charge
The delegation readily came to this conclu-
sion on the papers as presented, being
further influenced by the captains highly
honorable army record. The only ques-
ton as we understand it, was in relation to
Mr.. Fulers giving his personal attention to
the duties of tine office, of which the dele
cation was not at first advised, 1t is well
understood here that Mr.. Fuller has in
tended to do this in case of his appointment,
so that it is safe TO say that the matter is
as good as settled.

They Are Silent.

To judge from the statements OF
the republican papers Idaho would
not not be on the map butfor their
party. It was the republican party
Of Idaho that advocated her divis-
ion and elected a delegate on an
annexation platform. 1t was re-
publican congress that passed a
bill dismembering Idaho. But the
lying republicans are silent on
these things.
Neither do they publish that our
democratic governor, after the pass
age of the bill, protested in tele-
graphic dispatch to President Cleve-
land against the dismembering of
the territory that the dispatch was
received after the bill had been sent
to the president for his approval );
that democratic president, on the
protest of our democratic governor,
vetoed the bill, thus saving the ter
ritory from disintregation; and
that but for the prompt action of
democrats Idaho would have been
parceled among neighboring states
and territories and blotted out for
ever.-Idaho Democrat.

The Veteran Stage Driver.

1t IS amusing and entertaining tc
slt and listen to yarns spun by the
remaining few of that ubiquitous
class known as stage drivers. They
have had various experiences from
lighting Indians, driving through
herds of buffalos to being held up
by road agents. We were forciblv
reminded of the peculiarities last
evening, says the Times Mountain
eer, while listening to one of these
knights of the whip and reins. He
had been perusing Thoughts on
the Book Of Daniel" about ten
horned beasts, etc., and quietly in
formed his hearers that he had seen
such monstrocities while driving in
Labrador. Then he let himself
loose, and Of all the presentations
ever imagined these surpassed them
all. 1t would read like Maun-
,hausen tale to print them, and thew
ire simply mentioned to show that
With all the changing vicissitudes

1daho's Strong Box.

"Idaho's Strong Box" is tn,
striking title of an article from the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat going the
rounds, apparently with editorial
appreciation. It is doubtful whether
such exaggerations do any good for
the country. The truth about this
State is sufficient without drawing
the long bow in ridiculous charac-
tiers. This State has resources, but
they are not of such unbounded
extent as the Arabian Nights en-
tertalnment, and these boyish ex-
aggeratlons are worthless. The
population of the late territory has
been subjected to these fanciful
pictures by home statesmen as we'll
as Eastern idealists; the amount of
gold and silver production of the
past year has received some very
reckless estimations which hardly
correspond with official reports
The author of the article here al
luded to is evidently of an ambi.
tious mind, not overmindful of &C.
curacy. Idaho does not need such
advocates, and reprints of such
wild, imaginary statements are un-
worthy of editorial Endorsement by
the press of this state. Idaho is
wealthy in natural resources oil
every kind. She has strong box"
In her mountains, and in all her
valleys, streams and plains. They
will show themselves from year to
year without any untruthful illu-

AN extraordinary message was
sent to Congress on the Goth of July
by President Harrison in reference
to Misunderstanding more partic-
ularly to the Louisiana scheme of
securing a charter. In this message
the President says: "The people
of the United States are debauched
and defrauded," and other language
to the same effect. The object of
the message was to call the atten-
ton OF Congress to the present law
and postal regulations through
which these lotteries are sustained.
The sentiments expressed in the
message are correct enough, but
violently uttered. In fact, it would
appear that the President has gone
beyond the usual lines of commu-
nlcation in venturing upon the
subject at all.

The Forty-Fourth State.

Wyoming, the forty fourth state
admitted into the Union, is The
eighth in area, and has popula.
ton of about 100000. Its taxable
wealth consists mostly of live stock
1t is estimated that it has 100000
cattle, 100000 sheep, and $4,000
horses. The estimated value OF
them is $75,0OO,OOO. The cattle
raising industry, however, is said
to be on the decline, as the land,
which is very rich, is rapidly being
utilized for agricultural instead Of
grazing purposes. Although there
are sections Of the state where land
cannot be used unless irrigated
there are four large streams with
numerous tributaries that can sun.
ply all the water necessary for irri-
CATION purposes.
The mineral wealth of the new
state is but little developed, and
consists chiefly of coal, iron, build
ing stone and oil. Its coal fields
are very extensive. In 1888 it pro-
duced 1,5l2,936 short tons of coal.
Recently much attention has been
given to the oil fields, situated in
the center Of the state. These will
DO developed as soon as connection
by rail Is made.
The forest area of the state is ca. !
.imated by government reports at
,IIo,4U acres. consisting mostly

was one R. 8. Spence, who has beef
deliberately arraigned by the Dem

following resolutions, to which, j
he has any answer to make. he
should reply. We take the resolu
tons from the Idaho Democrat o1
July 9th:
Mr.. Brumback moved that com
mittee of three be appointed to ex-
press the sentiments Of the meeting
in reference to the Mormon ques-
ton and report this evening. &. C.
Stevenson then came forward and
read the following resolution:
WHEREAS, The Jefersonian DEM
ocratic Club of Boise City has
learned with great regret that GER
tain leading republicans of this city
consplred with, advised and in
duced one R. s. Spence, who has
heretofore been identified with the
Mormons in the southeastern part
OF this state, to attend an open
meeting held by said club on the
night of the 18th inst. and
WHEREAS, Said republicans &C.
companied said Spence to said
meeting for the purpose, az We be-
ieve, of having him called on to
speak; and
WHEREAS, This club has since
learned by the most conclusive evil
dence that this was plot, deliber-
ately planned, devised and carried |
out by the aforesaid republicans
with view to aid the republican
scheme now on foot in the south
eastern part of the state to organize
q separate and distinct anti Nor
non party for the purpose of de-
and dividing the strength
If the democratic party: and
WHEREAS, The club recognize the
Mormon question as forever settled
md eliminated from politics in this
tate by the provisions of the state
constitution; be it therefore
RESOLVED, That this club depre-
ates the action of the aforesaid
epublicans in their reprehensible
tempt to revive the vexed ques-
ion OF Mormonism, which has been
ut to final rest by the state con-
titution, and do most enphatically
epudiate the said Spence and all
is utterances, and also condemn
Il such republican schemes and
ticks as unjustiied and disgraceful
any political party that resorts
such practices.
The resolutions were adopted.

IT appears from the newspapers
that Judge Berry will appoint su-
pervisors of election, ''for all Nor
mon counties" The counties
named are Bingham, Bear Lake,
Oneida and Cassia. On a portion
OF the legislative ticket Alturas
county is connected with Bingham
and Cassia counties, and therefore
has some interest in seeing that
matters go straight.
