The consciousness that we in Idaho
are part of the nation, and that our
influence in National affairs should be
equal to that of any other State is a
matter that will come slowly to idaho
ans. The mountains were round about
us so many years, Washington City
seemed SO far off, the Delegates infiu-
ence with Congress was 80 small that
the people fell into the way of thinking
the United States and Idaho had little
to do with one another. How much
foundation there was for that feeling all
old timers know. But now the condi-
tions are changed. The questions
which are of importance to the rest of
the nation interest Idaho az we'll and
should be discussed with as much in
terest in the canyons of this new State
as in the streets of New York. It may
he that not until this generation has
passed and another has come we shall
realize as those born and reared in the
atmosphere of national politics do, the
fact that our share in the general gov
eminent is the same as that of any man
living east of the Mississippi. Only a
great national struggle will ever quite
bring us to the point where We shall
lose the feeling Of strangers and appre-
ciate the fact that we are of the nation.

It Is said that the effect Of the new
tariff upon Canada has been more seri-
GUS than was ever supposed it would be.
The surplus of the Dominion treasury,
which was $5,OOO,OOO in October last,
has not only been exhausted, but there
Is now deficit of over million. Ex-
ports have decreased, and the increas-
ing uneasiness is manifested by the
withdrawal Of deposits from savings
banks. The fact Is, Canada Is more de-
pendent upon the United States than
Canadian statesmen would like to
admit.

Secretary Window has expressed the
opinion that large part of the one
hundred millions which the treasury
has set loose has been collected into
private tills and the vaults of deposit
companies, where it will remain until
confidence regarding money matters Is
restored. Many financiers are express
ing the same opinion, but nothing can
be done to make these timid people put
their money into circulation while the
stringency exists. When it Is past
they will turn their money into the
channels Of circulation, filling them to
repletiOn.

The farmers of the Northwest should
assemble and demand the immediate
completion of the Cascade locks and the
boat railway on the Columbia river. If
the tillers of the soil would but wake up
and make use of the strength which
can be had by simply uniting their in
dividual forces and influences, an open
river would be thing Of reality inside
of a year. Red tape and kid glove
management has already wasted
enough of the peoples money to have
made the great Columbia an open,
free river, if it had been in practical
hands. With the present appropria-
lions sl,5OO,OOO will have been ex-
pended on work that was at first esti-
mated to cost 100000, and 81, OOO, 900
more is said to be required. Where
is this money going to? Into the
pockets of idlers, wasted on red tape
and through Impractical management;
consumed by hundreds of men who,
just as we'll say, are paupers on the peo-
pie, for the reason the people receive no
corresponding benefit In return for
value given them. The farmers can
remove the shackles from their own
limbs if they will but unite for earnest
effort in accomplishing one great work

Not only have the postal authorities
refused to help "bad-debt" collection
agencies to do their work by allowing
offensive envelopes and postal cards
the privilege Of the mails, but they
decided that the use of extra large EN-
velopes, bearing the name of the agen-
cy in large type, is a violation of the act
Of 1883, which prohibits the use OF the
postoffice to humiliate those who owe
debts and to publish their inability to
pay.

RHETT'S VlLLAINY.

The Abductor of IA Twelve-Year-oid Girl
VIII Have to Answer for Still More
Serious Crime.
New YORK. Jan. 2S.-The case against
William Rhett, the ticket agent of the
Savannah Steamship Company, who was
arrested Tuesday evening, charged with
the abduction of twelve-year-old Mary
Williams from Jersey City, assumed
more serious phase yesterday. Katie
Flynn, companion of Mary, about
twelve years old, who Mary says in
duced her to go with Rhett, was brought
to court. She said that about six weeks
ago Rhett met her and little girl
about the same age at the ferry house
in Jersey City, where they sold papers.
Patting them on the head, he promised
them nice things if they would come
with him to New York. They crossed
the ferry to this city, where she said the
mice man" hired cab and she and the
other girl rode about for an hour. He
did not molest her, but took improper
liberties with the other girl. If Katie
Flynn's story is true, Rhett will have to
answer graver charge than abduction.

the robbers blindfolded the passengers

the scene, the imprisoned passengers
