The Indian School Superintendent


AT last the petition of the Neg Percs
reservation Indians has been needed
by the Indian Bureau annd Col. Ed.
McConville has been placed in charger
of their school at Lapwai. The Col. is d
great favorite with the Indians Of the
reservation. who both respect and feaf
him. He will open the school on Octol
Der LIST. Attending this school are about
200 boys and girls,aged all the way from
SIX to twenty years. All who attend
the government boards and clothes and
well cares for in right royal manner.
These Indian pupils average about the
same as "pale faces,r some real bright
and easy to learn, others real dull. into
whom it is scarcely possible to 'beat'
knowledge. When an Indian pupil IL
dull he is the dullest of the dull. In
dians are said to excel at penmanship.
and some are very proficient in this re-.
gayd. AS usual thing the pupils at
the Lapwai school are easily managed
and very studious. Both pupils and
parents take a deep interest in the
school, and brave is very proud when
his children are displaying their
educational advantages.

Only citizens Can Vote.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
" 1DH NJ,
BOISE CITY, Sent. IL. l2Q0.

STATE OF IDAHO,
BOISE CITY, Sept. IL. 1880. J
To Registrars Of Eiection:
GENTLEMEN. From the number of in.
quirles made 1t is evident that there il
some doubt or misunderstanding as to
VINO is entitled to Registration and to
vote at the first state election.
First-By Section 2, of Article 6 of the
Constitution.as we'll as Chapter of Title
of the Political Code, every elector il
required to be citizen of the United
States. An alien born does not become
citizen by making bis declaration of
intention" or what is commonly called
taking out his first papers," It requires
the judgment of competetent court to
make him citizen. The certificate of
such Judgment is what is commonly
called second papers," No person who
Is not native born citizen and who has
only made his declaration of intention
TO become citizen, or taken out his
"hrst papers" is entitled to register or
vote; but to become so entitled he must
be fully naturalized. that is must have
his second papers," BY the laws of
some OF the states aliens who have
simply declared their intention to be.
citizens are permitted to vote; aud this
is perhaps what has led to the mis-
understanding here. The law of Idaho
is otherwise and you have no right to
register any person who is not a full
citizen. You will observe, also that by
the section of the Constitution above re-
ferred to, residence of six (B) months
is now required as qualification to
vote. Heretofore it has been four
months. Very Respectfully,
GEO. l.. SHoUP,
RICHARD q. JOHNSON. Governor.
Attorney General.

The Test Oath and Registration Laws.

The more restrictions there are
thrown around the ballot, the more
people are disfranchised. The tendeu-
cy OF these restrictions is to consolidate
power in the hands of the few. The
people are the sovereigns, and they cau
only express their sovereign will
through the ballot. For these reasons
the editor Of the FREE PRESS has, In and
out OF season, ,persistently fought against
the enactment Of test oaths, registration,
laws, and other laws which place obsta-
cles in the way of citizens exercising
their political privileges. In country
so thinly settled as this-where every.
body knows his neighbor, and where
the voting places are miles apart-the
registration law is source of needless
vexation to the citizen and expense to
the county. The ballot is protected
sufficiently by the old right of challenge.
which was always found effective
enough to keep aliens and non voters
away from the polls. We believe that
the voting privilege ought to pc made
as simple as possible. The tendency of
late years has been to copplicaie it by
surrounding it with test oaths, registrs!
ton laws and statutory requirements. 60
that citizen needs to hire the services
of a Philadelphia lawyer to lind out
whether he is legal voter or not.
We have frequently been called
crank" and bourbon democrat be-
cause of our views on this subject, but
harsh names break no bones, and it may
as well be understood that we do not
propose to have our political privileges
invaded without making vigorous kick
in protest. We believe in popular gov
ernment-in government Of by and
for the people-and the more votes that
are cast, the more expressive of the pop.
ular mind the government will be. If
you do not vote you cannot have q DOB.
nlar government, and you are brought
face to face with the good old demo-
cratic doctrine that taxation without
representation is tyranny"-a doctrine
that is as true to-day as it was in l775.

SpOkane 'Spokesman.
Moscow, Idaho, Sept. 1S-[Special. -
A short line to the east from Spokane
Falls over the Union Pacific is not SO
Jar distant as most people think.
Engineers are now at work locating
the IdahoCentral (Union Pacific branchl J
south of Lewiston. The new route
leaves the main line of the Union Pa
cific at Nampa, comes through Boise
City, and then takes bee line for Epo-
kane Falls, coming through Lewiston
and Moscow. 1t will shorten the Union
Pacifc's eastern route from Spokane by
nearly 200 miles, and place the Palouss
country 250 miles nearer eastern
markets than it now is. The fact that
engineers are at work has been kept
until now a secret. Il

DR.. Bibby returned from Warrens
Tuesday night and informed us that
Chas. Bemis's wound would probably be
fatal. sooner or later. as the ball. on en-.
tering the head, struck the cheek bone
and split, and he had only succeeded In
finding and extracting one half Of the
ball and fourteen pieces of bone. The
other part of the bullet is still in the
head and in all likelihood will induce
blood poisoning, unless the system ID
strong enough to expel the remaining
fraction of the ball. From all accounts
the shooting was entirely in self-dsfsnss.

Notes and Com ments.

The recent action of the board of directors of
the Columbia Title Insurance Company-or, as
the story goes, part of them only-in declaring
an extra dividend on their stock has provoked
considerable opposition and unfayorable criti-
cism. Already it is understood that one, if not
more, of the directors has resigned in conse-
quence, and the recent large sales of the stock
are indicative of the dissatisfaction of some
large holders, The matter has been subject OF
heated discussion during the past week, and
further developments may not be unexpected

The latest story about the Merganthaler
Type Machine is to the effect that dangerous
rival has appeared in new machine built at
Cleveland, and known as the Rogers, which is
said to be wonderful advance on anything now
in existence. The story further says that orders
have been given by the New York World and
SIN and Philadelphia Inquirer for one hundred
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1890-06-22

machines, to be delivered as soon as completed.
Friends of the Merganthaler appear to treat the
matter with Indifference, and say that it is
palpable infringement and already an injunc
tion has been served on the Rogers people.
But the story goes that all the same they are
very much worried about it.

Some dissatisfaction has been expressed be-
cause the dividend on the Columbia Bank
stock was made a per cent. one instead
of s, as had been hoped for. Among the largest
holders the action is entirely satisfactory, as
the amount saved adds just that much to the
intrinsic value of the stock in the increase of
the surplus. The bank is making about 13 per
cent on its capital, equivalent to $50, 600 per
annum, and the balance, after paying the divi-
dend, carried to the surplus fund will add
greater strength to the bank. An increase Of
the dividend is not improbable in the near fu-
ture.
What about Graphophone? Well as l said
last Sunday, "I have heard enough to fill a
book" Among the many rumors the most
'important, if true" are:
That satisfactory settlement was had with
the lessee, Mr.. Lippincott, when here last week,
and that the future has much of promise.
That the settlement will bring in about
$4,000 in cash, which, it is admitted, the COM
pany is in sore need of.
That the receipts for May were $4,000 in
excess of the expenses
That dividend is probable about October.
That the stock will reach 500 by the 1st
proximo.
And many other reports, all of which have 9
strangely familiar sound, and should be accepted

TOOK HIS SCALP.

Two Drunken Indians Brutally Maltreat
q Section Foreman.
SPOKANE FALLS. Sept. G. Especial. J.
Word was received here this morning that
John Wolverine, section foreman on the
Northern Pacific, was knocked down and
scalped by two drunken Indians near Hope,
a few miles east of here. Yesterday even-
ing Wolverine was walking along the track
near the station when he was met by two
Indians, one of whom he recognized as John
Deer. The redskins seemed considerably
under the influence of liquor, and Mr.. VOL
vertine stepped aside to allow them to pass.
They stopped him, however. and asked him
for whisky. He replied that he had none,
whereupon John Deer struck him a savage
blow on the head with club. When VOL
vertine came to his senses, sometime after
ward. he found his scalp missing. He man
aged to crawl to q saloon some distance
away, where he was taken in and cared for.
Railroad men to-day confirmed the report
and say that Wolverine is in q very critical
condition. The Indians escaped.
