DIGEST OF THE CONSTITUTION OF IDAHO.
Political, Legislative and Judicial
The Prominent Changes and Modifca.
lions of the New System.

We have prepared for the KEY
STONE an abstract of the provisions
of the State constitution, concisely
stating the salient points of that
instrument in as few words as pos
sible, wherever it differs with the
present system of laws, or with the
Organic Act. We publish herewith
portion Of that summary, quot
ing in full certain sections not easily
compressed, and abbreviating 9TH
ers so as to give the substance of
the text.
When this constitution was be-
fore the people last November for
ratification, the mass of voters paid
little attention to it's details, as it's
fate was then uncertain; but few
copies were, in fact, printed and
distributed in Alturas county. Now
the case is different, and some in
formation of the contents of this
document under which we are to
live, is essential to complete the
education of every intelligent bust
ness man and voter.
In this issue of the KEYSTONE we
have space for only references to
to the Political, Executive, Legis-
lative and Judicial departments.
Others, containing the leading fea-
lures of the constitution in the
matter of finance, schools, institu-
tons of the State, water-rights,
corporations, etc., we shall leave for
another number Of this paper.
The Declaration of Rights is
mainly comfortable with those ia
miliar definitions of privilege COM
mon to all instruments of this
nature throughout the Union. An
important change, however, has
been made in the territorial law rel

In the course of his speech against the
Blair bill the other day. Senator Faulkner,
of West Virginia, referred TO the fact that
the state of Kentucky. which would receive
"a, SOC, 900 under the provisions of the bill,
and which was formerly in favor of it, had
instructed her congressman to vote against
it, and that Texas, which would receive
5000, 900, and which was also formerly for
it, had given similar instructions. Arkan-
sas, he said, would receive $4,000, 600, but
her delegation was instructed to vote again t
it. Georgia would receive Sc, AS, 900, but
at the last session of the legislature a reso-
luton approving the bill was indefinitely
postponed, amounting to rejection. Sena-
tor Blair remarked that Georgia had not
reversed her instructions to her congress-
men, but the action of the last legislature
a body which is supposed to have repre-
sented more recent public sentiment,
amounted to about the same thing. Senator
Blair said that Senators Brown and Colquitt
were in favor of his bill, and would vote
for it, but that remains to be seen.

a Comedy of Errors.
From the Seattle Press.

Mr. Babcock went into restaurant on Third
street and deposited his umbrella on the rack
and hung his handsome Derby hat on the
nlckelplated hat hook. When the disciple of
blackstone had finished his repast he walked
over to the wall and took what he supposed was
his hat. put it on, and started toward the coun-
ter to pay for his breakfast.
An athletic looking gentlemen, who was eat
ing his morning repast and watching his port
able property, roared out:
Come back here, sir, and leave my hat"
All the ladies and gentlemen in the restaurant
watched Mr.. Babcock as he replaced the hat
and took his own.
The young lawyer was as mad as a hornet
and somewhat confused at the contretemps.
Then he walked over to the umbrella rack and
picked up an umbrella. The obseryant gentle
man whose hat Mr.. Babcock had taken, no.
ticed that it was his umbrella that had been
carried off, and he shouted in stentoran tones:
Drop that umbrella, or I'll hand you over to
the police
Mr. Babcock saw that he had made second
mistake, and soon fished his own rain shedder
from among the many others that were on the
rack.
Then he left the restaurant, and he was
called back by the cashier, who came to the
door and excitedly said:
Hadn't you better come back and pay for
your breakfast? You will at least avoid being
handed over to the police
AS he still had his check for q 50cent break
fast in his hand, Mr.. Babcock walked back and
paid his BILL with the eyes of every lady and
gentleman in the place fixed suspiciously upon
him.
One elderly lady audibly remarked, "He
don't lock like thief, but you can't tell by
looks nowadays what a person is, as good
clothes don't cost much"

A Confederate Suit.

A veteran of the - Connecticut regiment

form of a confederate officer, to which he owes
some months of liberty, if not life itself He
was a tailor before the civil war and when he
was captured on a southern battlefield this fact
reached the ears of the commander of the
prisoners barracks. "Egadi I'll have the yam
kee goose-pusher make me a new suit" said the
officer, gazing at his dingy uniform. The finest
gray cloth, gold lace, and bright buttons were
brought to the tailor prisoner. who worked
cheerfully away at the welcome employment.
On the evening the suit was to be delivered
however, bright idea occurred 10 him, and
soon what was to all appearance spruce con-
federate officer walked past the guards, and
was seen no more in that part of Dixie. History
kindly draws the veil over the expletves vented
on the nutmeg yankee" for not only gaining
his liberty-he earned that-but for taking that
precious suit. which cost so many hundred
dollars OF good confederate money.

AS soon as he was round the corner she was
after him in a cab. The husband, oblvous of
the espionage he was under, went straight to
the lodge hall. The cab was pulled up where a
view of the hall entrance was secured and
there watch was kept
HE will be down soon," repeated the wife to
herself, land then will catch him as he sneaks
away"

The Philadelphia Inquirer makes edito-
rial mention of the fact that twenty-one
Louisiana regulators have been arrested in
that state and indicted by the grand jury.
1t calls for their punishment, but says that
they will probably be discharged on &C
count of public sentiment in Louisiana being
in their favor. This brings to mind the
fact that not single White Cap has been
arrested in Pennsylvania, although at one
time leading Philadelphia newspaper said
that there was White Cap epidemic in
that state, an assertion which was based
upon good grounds. Why has no White
Cap been arrested in Pennsylvania? Is it
because Pennsylvania sentiment sympa-
thizes with White Capism9 Such a con-
clusion would be as justifiable as that of
the Inquirer with regard to Louisiana SEN
timent.

Clarkson's Rand Work

Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson is
very frank sort of man. He seems to
take pleasure in telling how little regard he
has for civil service reform, and what re-
markably rapid work he has done in making
changes in the postoffices throughout the
country. By the time he has been in the office
year he will have appointed about &C, 900
republican postmasters. 1t will hardly be de-
MED that he has not let the grass grow under
his feet. Before he has advanced far into his
second year of service, he will have made
change in about every postoffice in the
country in which there was democratic
postmaster when President Harrison was
inaugurated.
The President and Postmaster General
pretend that they have some regard for tn @
spirit of the civil service reform law, but
Mr.. Clarkson makes no such pretension.
He was put into his present position to do
just such work as he is doing In view of
the fact that he is acting in harmony with
the Presidents wishes would it not be more
decent in the President not to be such an
ardent advocate of civil service reform? He
cannot certainly pose successfully as a civil
service reformer while his first assistant
postmaster general is cutting off the heads
of unoffending postmasters at the rate of
100 day.
But the President doesn't let the first
assistant postmaster general have the
entire satisfaction of appointing black
men postmasters in the south.
1t seems to give him pleasure to
annoy the southern people by giving them
black postmasters, and he therefore decides
when and where black men Shall be ap-
pointed. Notwithstanding there is a large
black vote in Indiana no black men have
been appointed postmasters in that state so
far as we have heard. This is proof that
the President does not appoint black men
because he thinks they ought to be recog-
nized in the distribution of offices, but be-
cause his purpose is to annoy the southern
people This is his way of getting even
with the south for refusing to give the
Republican party any support.

The Unelected Infant.

Albert Edmund Lancaster.
An Unelected Infant sighed out its little breath
And wandered through the darkness along the
shores of death,
Until the gates Of Heaven, agleam with pearl,
it spied,
And ran TO them and chung there, and would
not be denied;
Though still from earth rose mutterings: ''You
cannot enter in;
Depart into Gehenna, you child of wrath and
sim"
At last the gates were opened; man with
features mid
STOPPED down and raised the weeping and I'm
elected Child.
Immortal light thrilled softly down avenues of
bliss,
AS on the infants forehead the spirit placed a
kiss.
"Who are you, thus to hallow my Unelected
brow?'
"Dear child, my name was Calvin-but I see
things better now"

A committee of citizens has been ap-

ment in cleaning that city and keeping it
clean for the next six months. The Times
Democrat says: "This work of cleaning
up is an absolute necessity, if we would

an epidemic of disease during the summer"
The city has not appropriated enough
money for the work, hence the appointment
of a citizens committee.

The Arrogant British shopkeeper.

Eugene Fields London letter to the Chicago
NelCS.
Not long ago heard one lady say to another
III ever you buy hat a bonnet at any of
these London Shops be sure to carry it away
with you, for if you leave it to be sent, the
tradespeople will steal off some of the plumes
or other ornaments and Keep them for sale to
other customers. All the tradesmen in Lon
don will do that" Upon inquiry, | learned
that the speaker had had sorry experience at
one of the most fashionable ladies' furnishing
shops in the city. Paying for handsome bon
net, she ordered it sent to her home; when it
arrived she found that it had been plucked of
its finest plume. On other occasions, in other
shops, she had met with similar experience
There was no restitution, her complaints and
expostulations were simply sneered at. The
average London tradesman, grovelling though
ne may be in his attention to you while he has
you in his tolls, does not seem to care to retain
your patronage. He skins you at once, and
having got your money, it is thank you-good
day" forever
Arrogance is the weapon with which to deal
with the London tradesman; be brutally AFRO
giant and you are respected. The cowardly
swagger of John Bull was never more clearly
Illustrated than in England's recent dealings
with poor little Portugal. When the Brton
cannot bully he sneers; when he dare not sheer
he fawns. He is no longer an Anglo-Saxon; he
is simply degenerate boviator and lckspittle.
assuming, because he is a fraud, a confidence
that is mere wind, and tolerating, because he is
coward, a government that he despises.
