Montana sends greetings to Idaho
and welcomes her to the rights, the
dignity and the glory of statehood.
Idaho is Montana's next-door and most
intimate neighbor. The two states
have common and intimate relations.
The ties of business as well as Of friend
ship that bind them are strong.
Idaho may he expected to devote the
next few days to expressions of joy
over realized statehood. IL Is possible
that the formalities required at Wash
ington TO perfect the creating of a new
state may be completed by Independ-
ence day, SO that our neighbors may
have a Fourth of July celebration of
the most joyful type. But v e in case
of delay Idaho knows what is coming,
and her citizens will doubtless hail "the
day we celebrate" with forty-four full
rounds.
IL will not take Idaho's people long
TO get into training for the more serious
business incident To her entry into the
Union. Anticipating favorable action
in Congress, the politicians have been
~zealously at work seeking in advance to
shape matters for the states forthcom-
ing election and for the gathering of
the iirst-fruits that are to follow it.
Idaho's republicans have an unusually
large number of self constituted lead
ers. Each of these will try to
make up a legislature suited to
his own ambition; and personal
rivalries are strong, The situation is
one that should encourage the demo
Gratis to jealous and united efforts. We
have no doubt that ldaho's democracy
will see its opportunity and make the
most of il. II is not probable that,
under any circumstances, the dishonest
schemes that were practiced by repub-
Leans in Montana will be repeated i'm
Idaho. In this state Sanders and Power
managed To carry out their plot, but
both of these men are held i'm such uni.
versal contempt by respectable citizens
in both political parties that their
urs serves the purpose of an effect.
i've warning To all ambitious politicians
everywhere.
IL will take q vast amount of har'
monizing to bring Idaho's republican
managers into concerted action. On
the other hand there appears to he no
reason why the democrats in that state
may not cordially cooperate from the
start, and that is a condition which
should inspire them with well founded
hopes of success.

The Census Farce.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The taking of the present census APP
pears Ia be pretty much of a farce, IL the
reports that come in from different cities
can he credited. Ii was the purpose of
the government To make this the most
complete census ever taken. as a glance
AT the catechisms furnished the
tors will attest; but IL bids fair to be just
the reverse. From New York city comes
a protest that the work is not being well
done there; Chicago is mad and mp i'm
arms against the censu men; 81. Louis
complains that she is 10000 short, and a
number of Pennsylvania W are growl-
ing. So IL seems that the 18th census will
Ice sadly lacking AS a history of h popu-
lation and of the county. But
for the interest the newspapers have
taken in the work the returns would not
have been satisfactory in any section. As
IL Is, however, the present census is more
Of a farce than the serious affair il ought
TO he,

there are plenty of republicans in con
gress who openly approve his views.
Under the circumstances, the cur
rent story that Mr.. Blaine will soon re-
tire from the cabinet is easy to account
for. II is earnestly to be hoped that
he will not do this. lie is the only man
in the executive department of the
government in whom the country has
confidence. lie is surrounded by small
men-and Harrison is the smallest of
them all but that does not harm him
a whit and the country has need of him

Eyraud has made n full confession to
the Paris police. II will be remembered
that he mesmerized a young woma and
then caused her To strangle the man whom
Eyraud wanted to get out Of the way. The
case is remarkable for the novel questions
that will arise when Eyraud Is tried.
Kernmler, the New York state murderer,
proceeded in the plain old-fashioned
way. The circumstances were a drunken
man, a woman of i'll name, and a conven-
lent axe. But the methods incident to
Reminders execution are as novel as are
the elements OF Eyraud's crime. If the

That was a misdirected kick which
Helena aimed at Supervisor Speer.
Helena is tormented because her imagi-
nary population cannot be made a
reality Ia be recorded in the official fig
ures of the census. 4 vast amount of
eastern money has been allured to Hell
ena 10y representations about her popu-
lation and that cannot be
supported by any honest statistics.
When the official facts were about
ready for presentation Sanders and
Power began To annoy the census bu-
reau at Washington with complaints
for which, on the testimony of super
visor Speer, there is not the slightest
foundation.
Every city in the land complains of
unfair enumeration. but il must be re-
membered that nearly all of them have
an exaggerated idea of their relative
rank in population. The census is par
ticularly severe on cities that have been
making wild and unwarranted declara-
tions about themselves, and in this re.
spect there isn't a city in the United
States that has sinned more persist
emily than Helena. IL isn't strange that
the inflated temporary capital kicks,
IL has u large amount of inflated
buncome nj stake.
Supervisor Speer very properly met
the unjust charge made by Helena's
citizens in his answer to Superintend-
ent Porter, i'm which he said: IL can
not compete with newspapers and real
estate boomers in fixing population"

ONE STRONG MAN lei

Mr.. Blaine can bother the republican
an administration that is no match for
him. The country knows him AS a
statesman. he has magnificent gifts he
hind his immense personal popularity.
lie is one of the most brilliant of living
citizens in the republic. ID would not
he m easy task to find the man, repub-
lican or democrat, who outranks him,
and his brilliant personality is enhanced
by the presence of the political pigmies
who surround him. James q. Blaine
was great when seward and Grant and
Fessenden and Garfield and sumner
and Chase were leaders. lie doesn't
have to struggle for first place when IN
enfeebled party sends 10 the front such
men as Harrison and Rusk and Morton
and Thomas c. Power and Proctor and
Reed and IIarrison's law partner, Mil
Ter. How extremely little these men
appear in contrast with those who were
preferred when the republican party
had merit,
Blaine is out of sympathy with these
petty chieftainettes on several cardinal
points. lie looks with d~isfayor on the
tariff bill. Some of the republican
newspapers h~ereabouts, edited nj u dis
lance from accurate information, were
unwilling to admit this at first. but the
clear proof of the existing disharmony
is found i'm the zeal with which promi-
nent eastern republican organs are try
ing To prove to Mr.. Blaine that he Is
wrong. The premier's dignilied reply
TO them is precisely this. "rhe repub-
licans promised the people of the
country that If We were put I'm power
we would revise the tariff. We did not
say that we would reduce IL, but we
tacitly promised to do SO and the peo-
pie expect IT," Taking this position,
Mr. Blaine will not lack "A following.
lie has more influence to-day than the

destruction.

Drawing speech.

Drawing speech.
Bismarck, as everybody knows, says the
Cologne Gazette, is not an orator. nearly
said thank God he is no orator. His
speech has been likened to n forest
stream which rumbles over stones and
roots. The comparison is somewhat poor.
| think / knew a better, though a rather
technical one-namely, his speech is like
quicksilver containing some lead or zinc,
put il on a pane of glass and hold it slant
ingly. The drop swells and rolls, but
presently il stops, becomes thinner and
longer, then IL remains immovable
for a moment, gathers new strength
To flow, becomes thin once again,
and so forth. hus il is with the chan
cellor's words first, half n sentence comes
out, then he besitates, stops or utters n
short, inarticulate soun and goes on
again. Ii is evident that To speak is a
physical exertion, but even when he is in
iirst-rate form he does not talk fluently.
But ON closer observation the reason APP
pears very soon. The form of his speech
is improvised on the spur OF the moment,
but unlike many fluent speakers. he does
not use the first expression which may
come to his mind, but while hcis uttering
the first half of a sentence he is thinking
how tn shape the second half i'm order 10

ical subject this painfully accurate ex-
preston, the result of mental work be-

deavors not to:say a syllable which he cam

This Is the reason why his speeches con-
corning foreign politics e like official
diplomatic documents; every word Is
! carefully considered.
His voice is peculiar, high pitched and
not very powerful. IL has been called "A

its qualities. Another is that il is SO re-
