ROIsE LETTER.

lpAHo's CAPITAL CRY, Jan. 30, '91.
WoRLD:-Ths thinking men of the
late Territory of Idaho were much
exercised in the early days of the
past year. Many of their brains were
feverlsh during the pregnancy of the
Territory, and after the birth of the
infant State of Idaho, the forty third
child in the family of Freedom which
constitutes one of the most powerful
and self-sustaining governments of
the civilized world, the teachings of
her household being freedom of
speech, freedom of the press aud free
dom of country. The Governor is
sued his proclamation for the first
State election while the infant State
was yet in her swaddling clothes,
the oldest pioneer of the late Terri
tory being invested with full power
and authority to cast his vote as cit
lzen of the State of Idaho. The peo-
pie of every county of the State have
given proof Of their good judgment
In the careful selections they have
made of Legislators, who are now
busily engaged in moulding laws for
the future we'll being of the State.
AS body the members of our first
State Legislature are credit to
themselves and to their constituents.
Each member is working for the best
Interests of the entire State as we'll
as of the county he represents. The
gentlemen who represent Boise coun-
ty are energetically engaged in advo-
eating bill for opening up the rich
est mining districts of Boise county
and rich districts of other counties bv
the construction of a State wagon
road. This is the best move for the
speedy and profitable development of
the immense mineral and timber
wealth of Boise county and of Cen
trail Idaho that has ever been made.
Boise, one of the richest mineral |
and timber counties in Idaho, is
something like Barnum's big show.
You pay to go in, but walk out free
after seeing Barnum's big show.
Those who hold the avenues and
gateways to the great and rich min
eral mountains of Boise county doub-
lie discount Prof. Barnum. They
make you pay to get out as we'll as
to get in. This retards the develop
ment of the county, as capitalists are
backward about going into section
sncircled by toll gates. The old time
principle of toll roads is blocking the
wheels of progress and stopping the
tide of prosperity in an extensive de-
gree in Boise county.
We are pleased to state that Rep.
rssentative Smith, of Long valley
Boise county, has on several ocoa
sions in the House delivered able anc
eloquent speeches in support of the
different measures proposed by his as
sociates aud himself for the genera
benefit of Boise county. The miner
and working men generally of Idaho
have a staunch and true friend il
Representative Smith. He want
laws enacted for the security of tn
wages of the working man, and
good rate of wages for all classes o
workers. Dempsey, Jones and Smit
are a good, sure and faithful team.

THE LODGE BILL.


named the force bill by its opponents,
they will go contrary to the wishes of
great majority of Idahoans. This
bill is aimed at the South. and AL
though there may be some grounds
Tor the enactment of some law to in
sure fair elections down in Dixie. the
Lodge bill will arouse old sectional
anlmosltles, cost the people an enor-
nous amount of money in its enforce
ment, and aside from this the oues-
ton arises, "Will elections under
this law, If the bill passes, be any
fairer than they have been?" The
answer all over the country woald be
given in the negative, by big ma
Jorlty. Those who will see to the ex.
ecution of the law are very liable to
be guided by partisan considera-
tons. The South has joined hands
with the West on the silver question,
and to return their friendly and unan-
lmous help, kindness and good will ex-
tended to the struggling West with a
stab by voting for the Lodge bill
would be base ingratitude. The East
is no friend of the greatest industry
OF the West. The South is. II the
West "goes back on" her friends she
may as we'll give up all hopes for free
coinage of silver. Retaliation is one
OF the first laws of nature, and if the
Southern members do not retaliate
hereafter on all measures for the ben
eft of the West, if the Western
Representatives do not appreciate the
fact that they have been our friends
in time of need, it will be queer.
Latest advlces from Washington in
dicate that Senators Shoup and Nc
Connell will vote for the Lodge bill
in order to gain favors from the East
All the favors we will get from the
East, on the measure that most affects
our prosperity, the West can stick In
its eye and still see 6rst-ratc. The
East is opposed to the free coinage
of silver, and will continue to be
whether our Senators vote against OF
for the Lodge bill. The silver ques.
ton is not political one-it is a
sectional question-the East against
the West and South, and in order tc
win the West cannot afford to gc
with the East and against its bes
friend. Mcconnell and Shoup viii
receive the everlasting praise of the
State they represent by voting agains
the Lodge bill. They ought to be
sagacious enough to foretell what the
consequences will be if they vote fo
the measure. There are many rea
sons why the Lodge bill should no
become a law, the most potent o
which is that every State in the Unior
is becoming interested in the enact
ment of the Australian election law
under which unfair elections will b.
something impossible. Many State
have already enacted said law, an'
all the others will fall in, it is certain
in due course of time. The election
problem will work out its own saliva
ton in very short time. The North
ern States also need reforming. Ger
tain elements are voted like cattle
and true American citizens are rapid
arousing to a realization of the situa
ton and the necessity for a reform.

GOSPEL TENT MEETINGS.

The Gospel Tent was pitched on the
island last Saturday morning by General
Missionary Cheney, of Portage, and his
corps of workers. Mr.. Cheney works
under the Wisconsin Home Missionary
Society as one of the flags waving from
the top of the tent indicates. The first
service was held on Saturday evening
when there was a fairly good attendance
in spite Of the unfavorable condition of
the weather. Sunday morning a large
audience assembled in the Tent when
Rev. Buswen spoke very earnestly of
some of the evils threatening the
country to-day, such as intemperance,
misuse Of money, Sabbath desecration,
&c. All the regular services of the
Church We're held there and we're very
much enjoyed. In the evening the
Tent was crowded, every available seat
was occupied and a large number were
so much interested that they stood both
on the inside and around the outside.
The singing of the male quartette is a
great attraction, and it may well be so,
for the voices of the singers blend very
halmoniouslv. The solos rendered by
Mr. Macumber from time to time are
highly appreciated by the audiences.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
earnest efforts of all may result in a
growing interest in these meetings and

DR.. F. B. ROBINSON IN CHICAGO.

Two weeks ago we noted the fact,
that DR.. Robinson had returned from
England. We now learn that he has
permanently located al No. 500, Madison
street, Chicago, and accepted the
professorship of diseases of women, in
one of the prominent medical colleges
in that city.
Most of the people in this vicinity
ful practitioner here for several years.
From here he twice went to Europe to
perfect himself in surgery and ginaecol-
ogy, each time showing, on his return.
great advancement in his chosen lines
of work. Two years ago he went to
Toledo, Ohio, to accept chair in
anatomy and clinical surgery in the
Toledo Medical College. From Toledo
he again went to Europe, to perfect
himself, this time going in, as private
pupil, under Prof. Lawson Taite. AS
Prof. Taite is generally acknowledged
to be the greatest living authority on
diseases of women, the doctor has had
a training in the last few months equal
ed by few in America.
During the last two years of his stay
at Grand Rapids, and his year in Toledo
the doctor carried on extensive investi-
cations in surgery of the intestine, and
he has just published two volume
work on that subject, When the first
volume came out it was extensively and
favorably commented upon in medical
journals. The second volume is just
from the press.
The people in this locality feel an
unusual interest in the doctor, and are
glad to know Of his location in Chicago
for many reasons, not among the least
Of which is, that he is now where he
can be reached in case his professional
services are warted.

BURT-ROCHELEAU.

A very quiet wedding took place in
this city Sunday afternoon at the resi-
dence of Mr.. F. w. Burt, our popular
local postmaster. The parties united
by the NJ. E. Church pastor, Rev.
Churm, being two of our most promis-
ing young people, Mr.. Harry Burt and
Miss Lenora Rocheleau. This marriage
was surprise to everyone as Mr.. Harry
Burt was seldom in the city and when
he was he never gave his friends any
inlIling that he contemplated any such
move. However the young people have
the best wishes of hosts of friends who
bespeak for them a happy journey
through life.
Mr.. Harry A. Burt is the eldest son
of F. w. Burt and was raised in this
community. The last five years he has
been travelling salesman for the Brown,
Chaplin Lumber Co., formerly of Wau-
sau, but now of Chicago. His territory
is in the states of Iowa, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska. By hard work and
strict integrity he has won a warm
place in the hearts of the members OF
that firm who have increased his salary
several times since in their employ.
Miss Lenora Rocheleau is the second
daughter of our old and respected
townsman Mr.. O. Rocheleau, who has
followed teaching for the past six years
She is a model young lady fully deserv.
ing of the prize she has won.
The young couple left Sunday evening
for Kansas their future home with the
best wishes of relatives and friends.

ASSESSMENT MATTERS.

Before election last spring we took
occasion to oppose Mr.. d. w. Compton
for assessor because we knew him to be
wholly unqualified for that position.
Now, if those persons who voted for
him will take the pains to examine his
work they will be convinced that our
statement about his qualifications were
wholly justified. A more bungling job
in the assessment of any property, city
or town, could not be found by search
ing the records of every town in the
state We will leave it to any one who
is posted in such matters. The question
Of taxation is very important one and
should be attended to by men who are
qualified. We have no personal feel
ings against Mr.. Compton, but he has
convinced us that he is inefficient in the
office of assessor. There ought to be a
change for the better.
