Mr.. Dubois bad the good fortune,
during his two terms OF Congress, to
do more for Idaho than all the other
delegates who preceded him, com
bined.
His work was such as any preced-
ing delegate could have done by
simply trying; but that none of them
even attempted. He was instrument
al IN having many new postoffices
and post routes established, and the
service expedited. He caused the
lair proportion of postal clerks to be
appointed from Idaho; he also Sc
cured the full number Of appointees
to West Point and to Annapolis to
which even the most influential State
is entitled under the law; he secured,
or assisted in securing, adequate
protection to lead aid the rehabili;a-
ton OF silver; he secured the appoint
ment of Federal officials from among
the people Of Idaho; he secured, OF
assisted in securing the passage ol
the Statehood bill; he secured, or
greatly assisted in securing us the
handsomest endowment OF public
lands ever given to a new State
He served all the people OF Idaho
irrespective Of party affiliation; and
be did so much for Idaho that col
umns OF space would be required tc
enumcrate bis public services.
We therefore owe it to him, we
owe it to Idaho, we owe it to our,
selves, TO show by our reception ol
him that we appreciate his faithful
service. And we confidently appsa
to the people Of Wood River, ire
speotive Of party afliliation, to pro.
nounce the verdict which they have
already rendered in private; "Wel
done, thou good and faithful servantr

The Republicans at Washington
are the FIRST, we believe, in State
Convention to adopt plank in favor
OF election OF u. S. Senators by di-
rect vote OF the people. This is a
move in the right direction, and is an
advancement towards the rule of the
people. There are too many delega-
ted powers in our form OF govern
ment, and electors are too much un-
der the dictation of caucuses and
conventions. The only purely Dem
ocratic element in our constitution is
the primary election, and this is so
frequently manipulated by politicians
that the voice Of the people is little
needed. On every occasion there is
sn opportunity TO enlarge the demo-
cratic element in our institutions the
effort should be made, aud the rule
of the classes will become less aud of
the masses more. In the election Of
Senators to the highest branch OF the
national legislature there has been
too much unfair influence used, and
we shall welcome the time when these
shall be the direct representatives of
the people, and not of machine rule,
and the caucus system in legislatures.

There is considerable excitement
in the northern part Of Wyoming,
occasioned by reports from gold fields
recently discovered IN the Big Horn
mountains. The new diggings are
located on the western slope of the
Big Horn range, about ninety miles
from Buffalo. The dirt is said to be
very rich, but has to be hauled short
distance to water. One man got
$3.50 from six loads, and some very
large nuggets have been found. The
diggings are confined TO two gulches
as yet, but the gold is known to exist
all along the western slope Of that
range.--Stock Exchange Journal.

consider that within the past year or two
nearly 800 900, 900 has been invested in

that the demand for practical electric en-

not afraid of practical work offers better

when Mr.. Pierce, rising to q ques-

ment made a few days ago by Mr.. Evans
Tenn to the effect that there had been
ballot stutfing in his district. The
speaker ruled that this did not pre-
sent a matter Of personal privilege.
This resulted in some sharp talk in
which the speaker was contradicted by
Mr. Pierce, and Mr.. Mills Tex accused
him Of fraud The speaker complacently
declared that Mills was ont of order,
whereupon he responded, # am in order
and Mr. Speaker is more out Of order
than the gentleman from Texas. The
ruling is simply an outrage. W The
matter was then dropped. A senate res
olution was concurred in concerning
the irrigation of arid lands of the valley
of the Rio Grande.
