Our devil is sort of an observing cuss and yesterday stumped the entire EHrrApH force by asking why it was that when woman is walking on a street that is muddy she lifts one side of her skirts-usually the right side evidently to prevent them from being soiled, and always let's the other side draggle in the mud. Observation has convinced us that the above is fact, but we confess that we are unable to answer why. Will somebody please rise up and explains

They Gat Back.

The hunters who went down into
 the land of the malana la-t Sabbatl
 morn filled with hope and anJicipa
 tions that were far beyond the wildcs
 imaginings of some of the late Repub
 lican office seekers returned Wednes
 day, accompanied with some ducks
 of various nationalities, some quail
 some rabbits and other game, a pail
 of caoutchuuc coverings for the lower
 extremilies and a lot of blasted hope
 that will be disposed of at fifty per
 cent less than cost to make room for {,
 ueN invoice. The party passed the custom house in a style that would
 have discounted foreign title in search of American money with an American apology for woman thrown in. Anyhow, they got by the custom house and continued on their way.
 But on their return things were some
 what different. The officers were ull. able to recognize them and each anu every one had to make an affidavit to his identity before they could pass anu even then those boots came near be- ing confiscated because they were 80 aSiully wet, and the duty on We, goods is very heavy. When the party finally reached home an accounting oi the supplies on hand was taken and resulted as follows: Handle 0. fryingpan, l; guns, 2-rather demor- alized; ammunition, none; places where sticking plaster could be ap piled. numerous; gum boots, and 8 small piece of the other; deulijuhns, l empty; umbrellas, 7--evidently a. good as new anu never been used suits, something that wae finally decided might have been one and six pieces of small blanket tha did duty in the dark in lieu of hunt ing suits; game, several ducks, quail, etc., nearly all of which was delicious and for which we return epicurian resolutions, good and other wise, mixed up in inextricable con fusion, regardless of person. politics, age or beauty. The bright dreams ol the past that were rose tinted with visions of the future have vanished and in their stead remains hollow nockery in which delusions and cyni- ,ism occupy about equal proportions. But the entire party got back.

Not Good Logic.

Since it seems to be settled fact
that no democrat stands ghost of
show to be one of 1daho's first u.
S. Senators, We would just as soon
see the prize drawn by Mr.. Geo. l..
Shoup az any one else, but the
claim put forth by the Recorder
that Mr.. Shoup is better fitted for
U. S. Senator than any other man
in Idaho, is bad logic to say the
least. Neither is it greatly in his
favor that he has been here longer
than some others. There are men
in the State who were here as early
or before Mr.. Shoup, who are unfit
for Senator or any other position,
and always will be no matter how
long they stay here. Moreover,
Mr.. Shoup's friendly feeling" for
every part of the State is shared by
all old-timers, and will doubtless
stimulate more than Mr.. Shoup to
feel for the U. S. Senatorship,
should events so shape themselves
as to make such feeling worthwhile.
Elect Mr.. Shoup if you will, but
don't claim all the qualifications in
the State for one man. Such a
claim is in bad taste, besides he
might disappoint you. Some men
are great in a small sphere but
small in great sphere.

Cost of Living.

People south of us when told that
wages are better in Idaho than else
where on the Pacific coast are wont
to reply by saying the cost of liv-
ing is so high as to more than off
set any advantages that might 9TH
erwise be derived from the difference
in wages. This is a mistake. Living
costs no more here than in Southern
California, and less than in New
Mexico, the staples of life only be-
ing estimated:
Flour here cost $500 to $3.50 per
100 pounds, and the quality is
much better than is sold in New
Mexico; potatoes sell at 1 to 2 lets.
per pound, and are unsurpassed in
quality anywhere; beef retails at
10 to 2Octs a pound, always Of su-
perior quality; onions, 2 to 5cts.,
cabbage, / to 3cts., mems clothing,
$3.50 to $25 per suit, miners boots,
IS to 81 pair, house rent 81 to SIS
a month, wood, $3.50 to $500 per
cord, miners wages, IS to 81 day,
mechanics wages about the same.
Any person taking the trouble to
compare the above prices with the
prices Of Southern California will
sec that the advantages to the labor

President Adams Tour.

Mr.. C. F. Adams has completed
his tour Of inspection over the u
P. & 0. S, L. roads, Of which he is
president, and accounts to the pub
lie for their unsatisfactory service
by a great excess of business and ar
equally great lack of cars and en-
gines, and the impossibility of pro-
curing them. Orders, he says. were
placed with the understanding that
they would be filled by the first Of
last October, but the demand upon
builders has been so excessive that
the performance Of their contract
was out of the question. The COM
pany is doing its best to supply
this deficiency, however, and as fast
as cars and engines can be procured
they will be put on until the road
is made equalto the demands upon
its capacity
This explanation will doubtless
be acceptable to the public as far
as it goes. But SO far as our ex-
changes report Mr.. Adams, he seems
to have advanced no theory con-
corning the smashups SO frequently
reported on his roads of late. These
ought to be remedied one would
think by repairing the track, which
is in anything but good condition.
Fewer wrecks would certainly be
less expensive to the company, to
say nothing Of the greater safety to
travellers to be insured, and in the
judgment of an outsider this could
be secured without additional cars
or engines, by general overhaul
ing and leveling up of the roadbed.

The Western Mining Boom.

Director Leach Of the U. S. Mint
has been travelling through the
mines of the West and has found 8
degree Of activity in silver mining
produced by friendly legislation, y
that justities the use of the phrase
western mining boom" in describ-
ing it. That Mr.. Leach witnessed
the activity he describes, we will
not presume to deny. Being an
officer of the government his duty
is to report what he saw without
partisan coloring. But candor COM
pels us to admit that the great
activity in mining industries" wit
messed by the Director has not yet
reached Idaho, Circumstance we
very much regret. There are at this
place no less than 100000: prob
ably much more, invested in smell
ters and other appliances for the
reduction of silver ores. In addi-
ton to this there are silver mines
here in which over 100000 are
invested, ali of which are idle. This
machinery ought to be in operation !;
these mines ought to be yielding up
their treasures for the enrichment
of their owners and the benefit Of
commerce, and had the last Con-
gress, needing the demands Of the
people, instead of obeying the COM
mands of London, Berlin and Wall
street, they would be. Had honest
legislation remonetized silver, the
great activity seen by Mr.. Leech
would now be quite as apparent
to other people, and the western
mining boom" be a reality instead
of a myth and Idaho would be one
of the mos: prosperous States in
the Union. The reconciliation of
silver would bring this desirable
state of things about in six weeks,
But no scheme for the purchase of
silver will ever bring it about be-
cause all such schemes are mere
devices for closing the eyes Of the
people while spectators in silver
pick their pockets.

mer will now find himself called
upon to produce an excess Of nearly
a bushel and half of barley per

say what his share Of the tariff paid

Charges Of Fraud.

That frauds are practiced every

specious promises to classes of per-

upon our country. But equally
discreditable is the fact that charges
of false counts, frauds, intimida-
tons and the like are forever BAN
died by Ill political parties without
any attempt or apparent desire to
prove them. Such charges should
never BIO made, but when known
should be proven, and every man
convicted of buying or selling a
vote or Of intinidating voter
should be disfranchised and de-
prived of his citizenship without
possibility of restoration. Under
such rule men would vote for
principle; the choice of the people
would always be elected, and would
get the office to which he was elected,
and we would have what we now
claim to have, ''the best govern
ment under the sum-" And, by the
way, should the incoming legisla-
ture wisely adopt the Australian
system of voting, it would take
very long step towards the secure
ment of this desirable state Of
things in Idaho. Under that sys-
tenn, as we understand it, intirnida-
ton Of voters is impossible, and
the opportunities for cheating very
slight.
