He Brushed a Live Dummy.

One evening | was out with party
of you ng friends. It had been try
ing to snow all afternoon and had
cleared off cold AS we passed a
ready made clothing store we MOTTO
ed a couple of dummies out in front
covered with snow. One of these
two particular dummies was looking
IN the window, proba bly, watching
the cashier inside, while the other
was faced toward the street, pos
sibly to draw trade. On the breast
of his long, snow laden ulster he
wore a banner with the strange de-
vice, Buy me, only $7.33' 2 Just
as we were passing we saw young
clerk approaching the door, whisk
broom in hand, to brush the snow
from the dummies. One of my
friends, who knew the clerk, said,
Imitation of a dummy" and he
jumped into a rigid position between
the papier mache men. We ran
across the street to watch things.
Out came the clerk and brushed the
snow from the nearest figure, turn
ing it around on its well creased
standard as he did so. Then he
reached for our friend, who stood
stiff and still. He carefully brushed
the snow from the back of his long
ulster, and then took hold ofhis arm
to turn him around. As he felt flesh
and blood he dropped his whisk, ut
tered a horrible yell and disappeared
behind q pile of coats in the store.

Some Scotch Superstitions

Some Of the Scotch superstitions
areamong the oldest and most wide
spread in the world. When baby's
hair is cut the floor is carefully swept
and the sweepings burned lest any
hairs might remain and be picked up
by the enemy. DR.. Livingstone men
toned the existence of asimilar prac-
tice among some African tribes. The
same custom obtains in regard to
pairing the nails of a child under /
year old, every scrap of the cutting
being buaned. It's considered a very
grave offense for any one other than
the mother or very near relation to
cut the baby's nails. New York

fill in the time Roberts also made
a terrible onslaught on the Nor
mons and to exhibit his conscien-
tious regard for truth in its best
light he asserted that every Nor
mon was democrat, regardless of
the fact that in Wyoming they vote
the republican ticket, wives and
concubines. If the people of Idaho
wish to be represented in Congress
and in the State Legislature by
such men, it is their privilege, they
have the matter in their own hands
now. On Saturday night Alexan-

Haley, gave more information on

than they did in Caldwell, they
would do better to stay at home.

Politics in Caldwell.

Caldwell, Idaho, Sept. 16, 1890,
EDITOR TRIBUNE:-In order that
people elsewhere in the state may
know how the campaign is progress
sing in this thriving region, we
offer brief report. Last weed was
anoted week in Caldwell. Politics
painted the town red. The Repub-
licans opened the campaign with
their heaviest broadsides in the per-
sons of Claggett, O'Rourke and
Roberts. The bloody shirt was
waved, the Mormons resurrected,
fayed alive, rehashed, then buried
for some other great prophet to
resurrect. General Roberts reveled
in dramatic tragedy, Mr.. O'Rourke
enthused over his loyalty since he
had become millionaire. He
used to be sinking Democrat, but
the bedizened defilah's of Wall
Street have handled him on their
knees until the odog of a poor
man is worse than a wet dog.
A gentleman in Caldwell asked
CRourke if he paid his miners any
more now than he did when silver
was worth so cents. He answered
by saying that when the miners of
North Idaho wanted more pay they
would not consult the gentleman
who asked the question. What a
magnificent argument.
Claggett was the only one among
them that tried to talk sense.
His remarks upon the subject of
irrigation showed that he had been
giving more attention to the inter
ests of Idaho than TO national poll
tics, and should the Republicans
carry the next Legislature, they,
would do themselves credit by
sending him to the us Senate.
Mr.. O'Rourke. b6asted of being a

scrat) aSd contrasted the condition
Of the working man in England
with the working man in Idaho,

. protected country.
Some of the republicans nearly
went wild over this picture. But
he took particular care not to con-
trast the working man of Italy
Germany, Austria and others, all
protected countries, with the free
trade laborer of England. All the
republican orators are guilty of
this same trick. And, so far as |
have been able to find out, most all
the rank and file of the republican
party believe that the United States
is the only protected country in
the world, hence its prosperity.
AS there isn't in all Idaho a
manufacturing establishment that
needs protection, Gen. Roberts

monopolists to take the ground
that sheep herders were manufac.

these few sheepherders. This kind
OF political rot was applauded to

called it grand speech. In order

Ed. TRIRUNE.-The Boise Sun
of the 18th says Mr.. ]. N. Ireland,
a lifelong democrat, has announc.
ed himself as a republican, etc.,
and then adds: "When men of
Mr.. Irelands experience and sound
Judgment conclude that the safety
of their homes and fortunes de-
pend upon defeating the party to
which for quarter of century
they have been attached, there is
beyond question something radi-
cally wrong with that party. No
one will dare accuse Mr.. Ireland Of
improper motives. He is indepen-
IDENTIFY wealthy"
There you have it! The whole
rottenness is in that last sentence
She is independently wealthy"
His interests now are with the
party which has devoted thirty
years to the devising of means to
protect the wealthy. Principles of
just government are of but little
moment to such men when money
is at stake. Truly the good book
says that the love of money is the
root of all evil.

night fixed by that faction of the

tain Gum illustrates the substance

shortly after Harrison's admins

cision through Secretary Window,
admitting Mexican lead ore free of
duty, that one day while the Sec
rotary was walking in the presiden-
tial grounds meditating, Captain
Gum approached him in his
brusque western way and said
rather abruptly, "Mr. Window, who
was it, rendered that decision
admitting lead ore free of duty?'
With the great example of George
Washington flashing through his
brain, the Secretary Immediately
replied, 81 can't tell lie, captain,
can't tell a lie, it was Grove,
Cleveland"
"Ah! l thought so, says the cap,

anyway" ut was them nasty

WYOMING REPUBLICAN.
The Mormons Save Wyoming for the
Republican Party.

DENVER, Sept. IA Cheyenne
special to the News says: Com
plete returns have not reached
here from any of the counties of
the state, and it will require several
days before the correct estimates
can be made. The Mormon vote
of Minton county has been given
solidly for the Republican state
ticket with over 600 majority.
The Republicans now claim the
state by 1000 majority. The Dem
ocrats concede it by 1900. The
Republicans carry the Legislature
and will have working majority
in both houses.
WYOMING GOES REPUBLICAN.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 12.-The
Leader says: Sufficient returns
have been received to show beyond
any question that the Republican
state ticket, and the Republicans
have control of the legislature,
which means the election of two
Republican United State senator's.
The Republican majority of two
years ago is reduced from 1884 to
! 1000, or 1900. Laramie county in
which Cheyenne is located, will
give Warren at least 800 majority,
an increase of about $50 over the
majority given the Republican del
egate in congress two years ago.
Albany county goes Republican
by about 400, slight Republican
loss. Carbon county is probably
Democratic, a gain of about 800
Democratic votes. Sweetwater is
probably slightly Democratic.
Minta, on the Utah border, which
contains a heavy percentage of
Mormons, has gone Republican by
majorities estimated between 45o
and 800.
