The National Democrat.

The National Democrat which was es-
tablished in Washington one year ago
by Edmund Hudson, with the indorse-
ment of many of the great leaders of
the party, has entered upon its second
year with circulation of 10000 copies
each week. This is perhaps the largest
circulation ever attained by weekly
newspaper during the first year of its
existence. The National Democrat occu-
pies field of its own. and one that too
long remained unified. 1t gives q COM
plete record Of political information, in
GLIDING the most important speeches
that are delivered by Democratic lead
ers in congress and on the stump. 1t is
rendering the party an important SER
vice, and should be read by all who
wish to keep fully informed in regard to
public affairs and who mean TO defeat
the wicked scheme of the republican
leaders to secure permanent control of
the government, in spite Of the fact
they are. and must remain, the minor.
ity party in this country. The SUBJ
scription price of the National Democrat
is 81 80 per year, and it can be ordered

Camas Prairie is the proper
place for the location Of this
College, and the legislature
will make a great mistake if it
locates it elsewhere. Camas
Prairie is not only the largest
body of agricultural land in
the state, but it is also the
Oldest and most permanent of
our agricultural settlements.
Farming here is not an expert
ment, but an established and
staple industry. 1t is, more
over, situated in the exact
geographical center of the
state, and with Che speedy o.
pening of the adjoining feserv-
alton to white settlement, it
will be in the heart OF the
most thickly populated and
easily accessible part of the
state. The climate is all that
could be desired, either for
health or agriculture. The
fertility of the soil is unex-
celled and beyond dispute.
The natural rainfall is suffici-
ent to raise sure crops without
resortfng to irrigation. AS a
purely agricultural country
Canias Prairie is easily the
first in the state for diversity
of products and general all
around excellence. In close
proximity to the Prairie are
the semi-tropical regions of
the Salmon River and Clear
water fruit belt. Land, lum-
Der, and the necessaries of life
are such that the cost of main
tanning the College will be less
than at any other point.
There is no reason why the
College should not come here.
Idaho county has done much
for the state, and demanded
but little in return. Moscow
has the University, and cannot
reasonably expect the College
Lewiston, and the country i'm.
medsately behind it, is too dry
for successful farming, taking
one year with another, and not
having water for frrigating
is scarcelya proper place fol
an Agricultural College. Cam
as Prairie is the one availabl,
point, where great variety O
choice in selection of land anC
surroundings is offered, anC
whose resources will bear tn,
closest examination.

Idaho COuNfU.

Idaho county, the southern
most member of the northern
sisterhood, has a diversified
surface of mountains, plain
and valleys; where all the at
tractive features belonging to
the other counties exist in
good proportions. Like Sho-
shone county, Idaho has rich
mines, and like both Shoshone
and Kootenai, her forests of
splendid timber will be great
source of future wealth. She
also holds within her borders,
one of the targets, most beau
tiful and most productive ag-
ricultural districts in the state,
the great Camas Prairie, lying
in the pathway of the railroads
that will soon unite the north
land with the regions of the
south. That a section so rich
ly endowed should feel to the
utmost the impetus given by
statehood and be putting forth
giant efforts in every line of
material advancement is right
and proper.-Boise Statesman.

Secure a. Homestead.

The government lands are
rapidly disappearing. They are
going at the rate of seven mil
lion acres yearly, and the poor
man must decide quickly
whether he will be home
steader or a tenant Hereto
fore in the history of this couh-
try the price of land has been
regulated by the apparently
inexhaustible supply in the
west No matter how great
the demand. there was always
plenty left. The frontier has
advanced steadily westward
until it has reached the shores
of Puget Sound, and even now
it is rebounding and all the
vacant spots left in the grand
onward sweep are being filled,
and the prices of land are on
the eve ola great and perma-
nent advance. The opportuni-
ties offered here on Camas
Prairie to-day will never be
repeated when the sdpply is
exhausted.

York for the Legislature.

.-Worh for the Legislature.
The incoming legislature
should provide some means by
: which the several counties of
the state can issue bonds for
internal Improvements. Sec.
8, Art. s, Of the constitution
restricts the issuing of bonds
to the amount Of the annual
county revenue-which in this
county would be $4,000
and further requires that the
proposition shall be voted on
and endorsed by two-thirds
majority before any bonded
Indebtedness can be contract
ed, either by county, city, or
school district. A law con-
forming to these provisions of
the organic law should GER
i tainly be enacted. Here in
Idaho county, an issue Of
bonds to the amount specified
would build a wagon road to
Elk City, with surplus left
over to aid the building of the
wagon roads between Warrens
and the Warm Springs, and
between Camas Prairie and
John Day creek. These are
all very necessary enterprises.
Indeed, they are essential, and
we canhot prosper without
them. The limitations pre-
scribed by the constitution are
ample to guard against exces-
sive Indebtedness. We know
there is popular prejudice
here against bonded indebted
ness, and on general principles
we share it. But it seems i'm
possible to build these wagon
roads in any other way, and
unless the people are practi-
cally unanimous in tho matter
the measure must fail.
The change in the system
of county finance, whereby the
county revenues for a whole
year are placed in the custody
of the treasurer, demands that
the legislature should protect
the peoples money by passing
a stringent bond law for the
express benefit Of that official.
The bond should be placed at
double the amount of the rev.
enue for the preceding year.
Each bondsman should be re-
quired to make affidavit that
he is worth-free of all in
MISUNDERSTANDING the a.
mount fer which he is surety,
AS an additional safeguard it
should be made the duty OF
the county clerk to notify the
district attorney of the trans
fer Of property by said bonds.
men, if such should be filed
for record, in an amount suffi-
cient to affect their standing,
as bondsmen, and thereupon
it should be made a part OF
the official duty of the district
attorney, or his deputy, to no.
tify the treasurer to secure a
new bondsman. The original
bonds Of oil county officials
should also be prepared by the
attorney or his deputy. These
or similar safeguards are re
CURED to protect the county
funds from the possibility of a
dishonest treasurer, and from
the schemes and conspiracies
of dishonest bondsmen The
revenue of rich county for
one year is a standing tempta-
ton to dishonesty on the part
Of its custodians, and unless
some stringent bond law Is
enacted, holding them to Strict
Accountability, We are likely
to hear of county treasurers
defaulting in this state.
