Our own Carter has been interviewed
in New York and expressed the opinion
that President Harrison would be re-
nominated and reelected. What are
the Blaine boomers of Montana going to
do about it? BY the way, when will
Carter and r. B. H. be out here to fix
fhinps2 ..

The Minneapolis Tribune says: "Some
OF the democratic leaders express strong
hope of carrying Montana and Idaho at
the next general election. They believe
that Montana is already democratic and
that Idaho could be made so by a little
missionary work" Which goes to show
that there are democratic leaders abroad
with eminently level heads.

ALTHOUGH precedent is against the
denominations of vice-presidents, there
is a strong probability that Morton will
be on the tail of the ticket again in 1892.
Mckinley won't have it, and his state is
surely republican anyhow. The party
has no other candidate that would help
it more than Morton, who comes from a
state that the republicans will have to
play every point in. Mr.. Morton may
as we'll roll another barrel up the hatch
way and remove the head.

As a cruel reminder of the tidal wave
of 1890, the st. Louis Globe Democrat
publishes a map of the United States
in which the republican states are
printed in white and the democratic
states in black. The white states are
Maine, North and South Dakota, Wy
oming, Colorado, Idaho Washington
and Oregon. Five of the eight are
newly admitted states which we're
brought into the union to give the party
q majority in the United States senate.

The Minneapolis Journal has secured
the services Of a prophet, who predicts
fair weather for convention week next
June. Pshaw! B. H. doesn't care for
that. What he wants to know is
whether it will be Blaine weather or
Harrison weather.

The Butte Miner thinks if the New
York Sun could see some of our repub-
iican politicians it would no longer
doubt the existence of true gems in
Montana. The Miner should not try to
work off spurious articles like Sanders
and Power on the outside public.
They are nothing but pyrites.

The Chicago Tribune (tarif reform re-

Will the Tribune support the demo-

will it shout for Harrison and a Chinese
tariff as it did in 1883?

The republican organs of the west

Harrison's message win be out next

WE suppose the Blaine leaders wanted

The democratic house of representa-
tives cannot do better work this winter
than admitting Arizona, New Mexico

cratic tendencies, and 1T would be a

Looking Into Timber Depredations

Special agent Wall, of the General
Land Office, has been here few days.
looking into the alleged timber depre-
dations in this region. He has been
kept very busy since his arrival For
instance: Night before last he got back
to town at O'Clock, and last night not
until IL o'clock. To-day he left for the
upper country, as far as Bayhorse and
Challis, intending to return about Thurs
day. Mr.. Wall says that some of the
mill men hereabouts have already ap-
piled for legal authority to cut timber,
and the others will doubtless do so at
once. The law, which was framed for
the preservation of the forests that the
whole people may derive some benft
from them, is good one, and, while
every leniency compatible with the law
be extended, the people who cut timber
from the public domain will be required
to comply with it.-Woai River Times.

gated "Let me mix the drinks for this

Red Light; now they have sold that
place, moved further up the street and
opened new place. Their new place
is dandy one. Call in there and get a
fine cigar and look around. You will
find the bar room small, but very neat
and handsomely furnished. No place 10
sit down in that room, and no room for
loungers. Then, besides this room, are
several other cozy card rooms where lit
tie parties can sit down to game of solo

Everything is arranged for convenience
and with the good taste those gentle
men SO well know how to display.

That Northwest Educational Bureau.

Mr.. F. L. Squires, late superintendent
OF Boise City public schools, is out in
letter in defense of himself for his con-
nection with the Northwest Educational
Bureau In his letter he has succeeded
in at least one thing-that is, he has
demonstrated his utter unfitness to oc-
cupy the position he has just vacated
The Nampa Leader did no more than its
duty as public journal, in commenting
upon this quas-public institution, or
ganized by men who occupied public po-
sitions, and the very lame defense made
by Mr.. Squires in his ill-tempered card,
only intensifes the prejudice which was
thereby created against him. He did
well to step down and out OF the Boise
public schools, whether he did it volun-
tarily or of necessity. Such men are unfit
to occupy positions as educators.
Messrs. Harroun and Moody, gentle
men occupying important and honora-
BILE public positions, are at least guilty
of careleesness in permitting their
names to appear in connection with
those of Squires and McCueD, as mem
bers of this bureau, without being thor
ougbly informed of its character and le-
gitimacy. They certainly are not well
informed on current matters, or they
would have knows that for some years
past these teachers employment bu-
reaus have, many of them, rank ed with
wildcat insurance companies and loan
associations, as questionable in charac-
ter, not downright swindling concerns,
and in lending the influence of their Of
fetal positions TO any institution of this
character without first assuring them
silyes that it was, not only entirely le-
gitimate. but an institution which would
promote the interests of the public
schools of the State, they were at least
guilty of gross negligence. The expla-
nation of Mr.. Moody will not satisfy the
public. That he did not know it was
loaded, is poor excuse for fool hand
ling a gun, and is certainly much
iamer one for an intelligent state official
for lending his name and the influence
it carries, because he is occupying an
honorable public Office, to any con-
Germ of this character.
