GREAT FEDERATION SCHEME.
A Move to Weld All the Mechanic an,
Farmer Elements.

A Move to Weld All the Mechanic and
Farmer Elements.
\ scheme for the federation of all the
elements of farmers and mechanics was
developed yesterday when the national
committee of federation held its meeting.
This body proposes to federate the Alli-
auce and Industrial Union, the Farmers
Mutual Benefit association, the KING hts
of Labor and the national Alliance into
Que organized whole, and the preliminary
steps have already been taken The only
body outside of the Alliance which was
present yesterday was the Knights of La.
Dor. who were represented by the execu-
tive committee of the order, empowered
to act finally in the matter.
Some Difference of Opinion
There is considerable division among
the Alliance delegates regarding the ex-
pedency of such a step, but ii is not such
as will lead to bitterness between the
members. The opponents of confederation
take the ground that the Alliance is es-
sentially farmers organic ltion and that
there is not enough in common between
the knights Of Labor and the Alliance to
justify a federation. If it should happen
that political action is decided upon the
knights will certainly be federated with
the Alliance iis the prime object then will
be to secure voters.
The Alliance Vote in 1892.
In an interview last night Congr. ssman
Livingston said that neither Cleveland
nor Harrison can carry the Alliance vote
next year, and it would be folly for the
parties to nominate them expecting such
support "lf the tariff were the only
question" said he. Cleveland would be
supported by the Alliance, but there will
be other issues on which his position is
Objectionable.
senator Stanford Not Popular.
President Polk derided the newspaper
reports favoring Stanford and himself as
q national ticket stanford" said he
could not get an Alliance vote for con-
stable" Congressman Jerry Simpson, of
Kansas. arrived yesterday. lie is jubilant
over the outlook and says the Peoples
party and the Alliance will soon be
united.
Opening OF the Convention.
The supreme counsel opened this morn
ing. Mayor Sullivan delivered the wei.
coming address for the city and President
Force for the state Alliance. Responses
were made by J. F. Tillmau. of the ma
tional board. and j. +. Wiilets, OF Kan

Gov. WILEY named John r.
Springer, one of the witness examined
in the penitentiary case before the
Prison Commission as successor to
Warden Mack. Secretary Pinkham
states that he and Attorney General
Roberts did not assent, for the "rea-
son that nc person can consistently
condemn and reprimand the present
Warden for permitting boxing in the
prison and recommend for appoint
ment John R. Springer as his sue
cessor, who did all in his power to
encourage the same offense whilst he
was Warden four years" Mr.. Pink
ham SAYS that if the service can be
improved, and any member of the
board will nominate a competent per-
son versed IN prison affairs and dis
cipliue as successor to Warden Mack,
he will cheerfully join in his APP
pointment, as he "knows that the
present Warden has the interests OF
the Republican party too much at
heart to be barrier to its success in
the present and the future, as he has
! in the past"

RANTS
A Few Woras II Regard fe the Hat
ter by Our County Treasurer.

To THE HONORABLE BOARD Coa-
xIssIoHERs OF Boise CpUSTY-Gca.
aemen:-The IDAHO WoRLD being
the medium through which your pro-
cssdings are published to the people
of tho county, ] trust you will not
deem it unfair on my part in using
columns Of same in explaining rsa-
sons for noncompliance with your or
der Of Nov. 17th relative to redemp-
ton Of certain county warrants.
At meeting Of your Honorable
body held in August you requested
that Treasurer cease advertising for
and redeeming outstanding warrants,
stating as reason for said request
that you were then negotiating sale
of bonds to provide for canceling
the county Indebtedness up to Au-
gust !, 1891, and desired to reserve
the revenues Of 1891 to apply on war
rants that might be issued subsequent
to August 1st.
At your October meeting an op-
ton was given on, or, as records
show, sale was made of $4,000 of
Boise county bonds, dated Aug. l,
1891.
At your special meeting held Nov.
10th and 17th you claimed that the
county had been carrying an interest
bearing bonded debt of $38, 600 since
Aug. l, 1891. As no part of said
$4,000 has as yet been paid into
county treasury, | must, fo- the pres
ent, respectfully decline to comply
with your order.
If option on, or sale of bonds was
made in good faith and is binding on
the county, am surely not inclined
to interfere or infringe upon rights of
Commissioners.

The sports have been having con-
siderable sport the past summer and
fall over Lew Workman's lack OF
skill with a gun when be tackles big
game. Chipmucks were big enough
for Lew when he began hunting early
in the summer, but soon nothing
smaller than pine squirrel could
interest him, and finally he would
shoot nothing smaller than grouse,
and on the first day of September
nothing smaller than deer or bear, he
vowed could excite his interest. He
hunted and hunted, day after day,
week after week, and month after
month, and all the great hunters would
have sworn his non knockdownative
luck would continue through his life
time, but last Saturday Lew walked
up to the head of the class and the
would-be champion hunters are "down
in the mouth " and they all look blue,
for " unlucky Lew" great big brown
bear slew. The boasting hunters
will ne'er get even this fall. To say
that Lew slew a big bear will make
'em rise up and swear that the bear
was unable to crawl-that bruin into
winter quarters had gone, you see,
and therefore in a comatose state
was he" But all this is the result oi
jealousy. Lew shot him on the keen
jump at distance of thirteen hun
dred wards and downed him the first
shot. He got him near the Bur
Haney cabin, on the Elkhorn road
and hired a mule team to haul the
big animal in. Lew did not weigh
him, but says he will weigh some
where about thirteen hundred pounds
He is a monster, at any rate.

Evidence was conflicting as to whis-

Kissing seems to be playing a
prominent part in the campaign in
Alabama. A news item says that
Governor Jones spoke at Blue creek
mines last week, led in a dance af-
terward and kissed the boss miners
wife once. Captain Kolb, his oppo-
nent for the nomination for Cover
nor, spoke at the same place, led the
dance afterward, and kissed the boss
miners wife twice. 1t is said the

tired. Salt Lake Times.

versation with Statesman repre-
sentative last evening be stated that

the main proposition. Mr.. Bowen
feels that the silver cause will soon
be triumphant. He was much i'm
pressed with the attitude of the dele

free coinage, and their political con-
nectioss made their action significant.

IT is surmised that the following
obscure uts-obscure at this dis
tance-are aimed at Gov. Wiley.
The paragraph Is from conclusions
drawn by the Secretary of State af-
ter reviewing the testimony in the
prison case:
Il recognize the fact that a certain
amount OF demorallzation exists in the
administration of affairs at the peni-
tentiary, and the question arises, to
what is it attributable? When any
one member of the board of state
prison commissioners assumes to die
tate the policy and morale of its ad-
ministration: maps out the line of
conduct for its officers; advises and
directs a sub officer to disregard the
orders of the warden, and publicly
states that he takes the penitentiary
and its administration 'under his fos-
tering care" then 1t is time to call a
halt; not charge all of the mishaps of
thankless task upon the warden, but
let them rest where they belong, up
on Attorney General Geo. 81. Rob-
srts."

ing outside, he7was face to face with the
woman whose photograph he had re-
ceived. They greeted each other, and
Mrs. Bennett asked Cleaworth to accom-
pany her to the nearest preacher to have
the nuptial knot tied. This was post
poned until yesterday, however, when
the couple went to Camden and were
married. Mrs. Cleaworth is a beautiful
woman and says she has 81 ,OOO, 900 in
her own name. The bride and groom

BERLIN, Aug. 31.-The liquor dealers
of the capital are combining in opposi-
tion to the proposed law restricting the.
sale of liquor, and especially the clause
requiring them to sell food when they
sell liquor. This would compel all of
them to go into the restaurant business,
which is already overdone in Berlin, as
the Germans here refuse to eat at home
The clauses as to age and selling to
drunkards are also considered obnoxious
on the ground hat the dealer cannot
readily tell the age of a customer, or
whether lie is a drnnkard or uot The
whole measure is considered in the line
of teetotalism. and as imposing restric-
tions obnoxious to the German ideas of
personal liberty. The advocates of the
bill claim that drunk enness is Increasing
in Berlin; that increasing ins ances of
indulgence in intoxicants have been OBJ
served, and that some restrictive action
is necessary to abate and restrain the
evil.
