not croak of events that may or may

both in anticipation and reality, are
quietly taking note of the possibilities
in the case, and preparing when neces-
sary to meet them without loss. No
one pretends that extreme high water
is a pleasant or a desirable thing, or
that it is not attended with great incon-
venience, many annoyances and more

the best of the situation, and eschew
all unnecessary complaint, is commend

The unfortunate inhabitants of the
dark continent run considerable risk
at the present moment of being de-
stroyed by an excess of kindness and
philanthropy on the part of the nations
of Europe. Every one of the latter
appears to consider itself to be invested
with a special mission to achieve the
civilization and conversion of the be-
nighted African races, whose welfare
for some time past has formed the sub
ject of countless conferences and nego-
tiations on the part of the respective
governments, churches and trades of
Europe. Even Turkey seems to have
caught the prevailing African fever.
For months past the Ottoman news
papers have been filed with articles
condemning the Christian methods Of
civilizing Africa, and denouncing them
as pernicious in the extreme. They
declare that the Christian philanthropy
toward the African is interested and
selfish, and that its principal motive is
the sale of powder of rum. The Ma
hometan religion, according to the
Constantinople Tarik, is the only civ
ilizing and correcting element that can
possibly save the African from the dis
astrous results of Christian proselytism,
and In consequence an association has
been formed in the Turkish capital for
sending bands Of Mahometan mission.

Previous to the year 1890, four sur
veys had been made, starting from diff
ferent points in southwest Idaho, ex
tending over the range separating Ida
no and Boise counties, down to the
Camas plains, to the Clearwater river
and Lewiston. These surveys have all
been under the direction of the Union
Pacific railroad. A fifth survey, run
ming as near due north from Boise as il
practicable, is now under way; the pur-
pose in this case being to keep as close
as possible to the mines of Boise coun.
ty, the forests of the upper Payette and
the rich farming region of Long Valley.
Such a road would bind all Idaho to.
gether in a peculiarly valuable way.
The movement made years ago to di-
vide the Territory of Idaho, now hap
PLY part of history but no longer hay
ing any support, was based upon the
supposed impassability of the noun
tain range forming the north boundary
of Idaho county. But several openings
have been found where a railway can
be constructed at reasonable cost. Such
road will always have large passen-
ger business. Communication between
north and south Idaho now requires a
detour of five hundred miles outside of
our commonwealth; travel is limited
to actual necessity. Give us railroad
connecting the railway systems of
north Idaho with the capital city, and
the intercourse between our fellow citi-
zens of different localities would null
tiply ten-fold. The cost of transacting
public business would be enormusly de-
creased. Besides this the mines of Ida
no county would at last have their
chance to demonstrate their value. For
fifteen years the ore of the great War
rens district has been packed on the
backs of mules $50 miles; and yet with
exhorbitant costs loading that section
from every source, its mines have al
ways been profitable, and work in them
had never ceased when the weather
permitted it to continue. We believe
and all railway authorities concur
that railway between Boise and Lew
iston will have paying business from
the day it is thrown open to the public,
and that all along its route will grow
towns and villages, and enormously
population and wealth.

The crank, DR.. Tanner, who tasted
for forty days in New York in 1880,
IL now an advocate of vegetarianism
In recent number of a vegetarian
publication known as "Food, Home
and Garden" he says: my investiga-
tions go to conclusively show that if it
Is desirable to populate the world with
materialists, anarchists, fighters, quar-
refers, wife-beaters, murderers, drunk
ards, adulterers and every conceivable
form Of evil, then the surest road is a
flesh diet. It 1t is deemed ad visable to
populate the world with peaceful,
law abiding and religious people, then

mankind approximates to the dietetic
regime commanded in the bible, the

MormUnism will never be stamped
out by resort to the methods reported
In yesterdays Review from Louisiana.
Ignorance and fanaticism thrive on
such treatment. If the Mormons had
been allowed their own way half cen.
fury ago, and had been permitted to
remain in Illinois or Missouri, the Nor.
mon church would never have attained
it's present proportions. 1t would have
been choked out by immigration, and
would now be an institution of the
past. But the followers of Joseph
Smith were severely treated, and, pos
ing as martyrs, they turned their gaze
toward the West, and sought out a fer
tile land, where they expanded with
out interruption for more than quar-
ter Of a century, and permitted their
leaders to build up union of church
and state. Somehow we always hear
Of such Outrages as that perpetrated in
Louisiana as occurring in the south.
This does not speak well for that sec
ton, since 1t has long been notorious
fhct that the Mormon missionaries seek
Tor prOselytes only in those sections
where Ignorance and superstition rule
the people.-Review.

POPULAR TEACHERS.

Children Enjoy n Discipline Which Ii
Firm, just and Constant.
ANY one who has an opportunity to
hear children talk freely about their
teachers can learn why it is that some
very good people do not succeed in win
ming the esteem of people. Children
tell us they like teacher who knows
how to make them mind. They enjoy
being under discipline which is firm,
just and constant, which respects
neither age, clothes nor names, but
holds the whole school under the same
just and reasonable law. A teacher falls
at oncein their estimation if he is seen
to be more lenient to the son of lead
ing family or of committee man"
than to the child of poor, laborious
widow.
There is particular reason why
children'like to be under q true ruler.
He never scolds.
He sometimes Furnishes, and boys do
not mind that when they know they de-
serve it, but scolding they all detest.
1t exasperates without mending them.
Often the bitter words of an irresolute
teacher sting, bite and rankle in the
mind of thoughtful child long after
the teacher has forgotten them, and
sometimes when the sod covers his dust.
There are weak teachers who scold six
hours day, and are never obeyed.
Their pupils hate them.
There are few thing which uiniure
teacher so much in the estimation of a
class as defective knowledge of the sub
ject under consideration. Obvious as
9 thnrn
sufficiently alive to it. and show igno-
rance which a very slight preparation
would have removed.
Children are at once attracted and
conciliated by unusual proficiency on the
part of their teacher, and are often
heard to boast of it and extol it. They
are abundantly ready to be hero
worshipers, if their teacher will but
be only fractional part of hero.
One moro thing is requisite. If, in
addition to an easy mastery of tho
school and sufficient mastery of
branches taught, the teacher takes
friendly interest in his pupils welfare,
nc can hardly fail to win their esteem
and affection. Not that children can
ever love q teacher as teacher often
loves them; that IS impossible. Never
thcless, there are schools where the
teacher, and even numerous corps of
teachers, arc beloved by controlling
majority of the pupils.
When that is the case, the school pre-
scnts as fair a scene of beneflcent ac-
tivity as tho world furnishes. There is
nothing on earth more pleasing more
joyous, moro interesting than a good
school about midway in the school year,
when the benign influence of the teach.

SORGHUM SUGAR.
Report OF the Chief Chemist of the Agri.
cultural DEPARTMENT,

CuAIurAL department.. |
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16,-The annual
report OF the chief of the chemical divis-
ion OF the agricultural department con-
talns nm account OF the process recently
perfected at the department as a result
OF the experiments in the chemical lab
oratory with reference to the manufac-
turc OF sorghum sugar. The report of
the chemist rccites some Of the various
difficulties hitherto found in the economic
manufacture of sugar from sorghum and
indicates that a solution of the question
will be found in some process which
would separate as nearly as possible
gummy %amorphous bodies from Juice
without precipitating the sugar. The
known property of alcohol to produce
precipitation in juice was made use of in
a further study of this problem. Not
only has the removal of the gums been
effected by tho process evolved during
these experiments, but it has been shown
that this can be effected at a cost com.
%paratively trihing by a comparison OF
the results obtained. The article used
in producing precipitation can be almost
wholly recovered by subsequent
distillation. Another feature is
that the gummy substance sepa.
rated by the process is itself ~fermentable
and yields almost half its weight in al
cohol. In order that the new method
may become possible the report suggests
the necessity for a modification of the
revenue laws so as to allow the prepare.
ton of alcohol used in the process to be
carried on without tax, to be made under
bond by the manufacturer that it be uscd
only for this purpose.
The chemist claims substantially al
increase in the yield of sugar per thou.
sand gallons of Juice of from an average
of about 100 0 pounds to an average OF
$1,000 at an increase in cost of produc-
tion OF $84 for alcohol, which enters into
the new process.

His seat had an arrangement on the ends
so that it could be attached to these
ropes and slide between them, else the
wind would have blown him out so far
that he could not have reached the chin

it seemed only a joke to him. But the

where he received the full benefit of its
