The Grape men have plucked up good
deal of courage since their conference last
Saturday, and will go into the convention
today, feeling that they have good chance
of nominating their favorite. Their hope is
not without some foundation. 1t is begin
ming to be seen that good many delegates
understood to be for Allen are unpledged
and may vote for Grape. A notable case Of
this kind is the delegation from Lynn, which
had been claimed for Allen % to IL, but
which has formally declared for Grape % to
III. Aliens friends are, however. still
sanguine that the Lowell man has ma
jority of the delegates and will be nominated
on the first ballot.

People who hesitate to travel on railroads
for fear Of accident will find something re-
assuring in the latest official returns of
casualties from accidents during the past
year. From them 1t appears that in all the
world but one person was killed for every
forty-fve and half million persons that
were carried, while only onei out of every
million and half passengers carried was
injured in any way. The danger of being
killed by lightning is quite as great as the
danger Of being killed in railroad accident.

The State of New York deposited total
of about lfty-fve million fish fry In its
waters during the past year. A large variety
of fish were included, such as tomcods,
smelts. yellow perch, Holsters, pike, white.
fish, frost fish, muskallonge. shad. brook and
lake trout, etc. This is the policy which
Maine has been and is still pursuing, in or
der to make the State more attractive to its
own people and other people 1t is the ex-
perience of both States that it pays.

The Western Farmers Alliance are shout
ing to the farmers to hold back their wheat
in order to get higher price. The average
farmer in this business is. however. likely to
be guided by his own judgment and his own
needs. He is not likely to accept blindly the
advice Of lot of politicians who can look
no farther into the future than he can. The
farmers are now getting a good price for
their wheat and great many of them will
prefer to take it rather than to depend upon
the chances Of catching birds in the bush.

people seem to be regarding it as healthful

It is stated that the Atlantic steam.
ship companies have ceased to evade
the immigration law, because they can
obtain all the steerage passengers they
can carry without running this risk.
AS the law only forbids them to bring
persons technically classified as pau.
pers, criminals or insane, or under act
ual contract to labor, this is no doubt
true, and it shows how utterly made
quate the law Is to cure the evil of over
immigration of low grade that the
country is protesting against. Some
other standard than that set up by
congress must be adopted if the aver
age of intelligence, morality, political
honesty and loyalty to American insti-
tutions is not to be still further lowered.
1t would be difficult to advance a sim
gle reason why one-half the Immigrants
now coming to this country would not
do us a lasting favor by remaining at
home.-Oregonian.

Why did our last legislative solons
In the immensely of their wisdom,
wish to take the power of assessing
railroad property out of the hands of
the eighteen county assessors Of the
state (who lived in the vicinity of said
property aud saw it daily, and who,
II they were qualified to fix the value
on all other property, surely were on
railroads), and place 1t in the hands of
Ave men who reside at the state cap
ital, who seldom inspect the property,
and who have no local interests in see
ing that this class of property should
pay fair share of the taxes, according
to q just cash valuation, az the consti-
tuition requires? If the state board be
men whom it were possible to control
easily, the railroad corporations, who
have not "body to kick nor a soul to
DAMN" could "work" the companies
great interests to the peoples injury.
We have 1t from the Salt Lake Herald
that the Idaho state board Of equaliza-
ton has reduced the rate of taxation
for railroads in the state from 800 to
$4,000 per mile. Say that there are
l 200 miles of railroad in the state,
which Is reasonable estimate, and the
taxable valuation of property is re-
duced fully $4,000, 600, which at a per
cent. tax, would be 100000 for one
year, or $lSO,OOO for the two years
which the present board hold office.
This reduction is made at time
when all other property in the state is
taxed to its cash value, or even more.
Is there any good reason why these
Immensely wealthy corporations should
have lower valuation placed on their
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1891-06-25

property in proportion to it's cost than
the poor mechanic has on his house, or
the horny-handed farmer on his cattle
and horses? One more legislature such
as the last, and the new state of Idaho
will become a by-word and laughing
stock for the balance of the Union.
That body certainly accomplis.i led
more than was pernicious and less that
was beneficial to the people than any
legislative body that ever assembled in
the nation. AT the next state election,
should the people send another such
body to represent them, they will
richly deserve all the evils that may
be launched upon them.
The reduction in the railroad assess-
ment will make difference of owe r

Since the nomination of Mckinley

will place him in the field as a presi-
dental candidate. simultaneously
with this announcement comes another
from the great state of Ohio that, If
Senator Sherman Is not returned to

ton Is, should the great Mckinley and
Sherman not succeed In defeating each
other in Ohio, what will become OF

The possibility that the great bulk of
Jews driven from Russia will be thrown
upon the United States Is sufficiently
alarming to engage the earnest atten-
ton Of our government. Destitute, ig
norant, mercenary, clannish, they are
not the kind of material from which a
republic can manufacture thrifty, in
telligent citizens. This country cannot
afford to go into the business of charity
on quite 80 large scale as this. Self
protection, which is conceded to be the
first law Of nature, forbids SO wide an
application Of our "asylum for the dis
tressed" idea as this would prove. Sen.
timcnt must give place to the sturdy
quality known IA common sense in the
face of an emergency of this kind

Ircland's new plan of campaign is a
decidedly new departure. The Irish
members of Parliament have been for
the most part men of little means, and,
since there is no governmental remun-
Grafton, they have been paid salaries
by their constituents for their represent
tative work in London. Most of the
constituencies are poor, too, and the
payment of the members has been u
drain upon the people, so that now the
bishops Of Ireland propose to have the
representation composed as largely as
possible of men of sufficient means to
render their payment unnecessary.
The hierarchy, so it is said, will en-
deavor to give as much of Catholic
tlavoring as possible to the new men,
bers, so there will be new element
in the British House of Commons, and
one whose influence will make itself felt.

A gentlemen who has just returned
from the PalOuse valley says that
wheat buyers are contracting for wheat
ut 60 cents per bushel. One fnrmer
hear Palouse has 400 acres in wheat
which he expects will average fifty
bushels to the acre, and may go higher.
This means $50 per acre, or $4,000 for
the crop, Of which 1t is estimated that
at least $1,000 will be clear profit. If
there are many farmers that can make
h showing like this there will not be

4 Thief About Jordan.

Stealing is stealing. it matters not wheth'
er the thief is the purloiner of million
dollars, Or of newspaper that he is too in,
tolerably mean and stingy to pay for. There
are one or more such newspaper rogues
around Jordan, and We are sick and tired
Of their Gepredations We have had many
complaints about these thefts at Jordan,
and in some instances subscribers have
been compelled to change their postofice to
Davis to be able to get their papers at all.
They lived a distance from the postofice,
and their mail was taken outl by some one,
and never delivered.
Mr.. ]. Z. Eadon told US yesterday he had
not had paper for several weeks, and said
further that every paper he had gotten had
been opened and read. Now, We say the
party that has been reading Mr.. Eadon's pa
per, to avoid paying Us for the news we
publish, has sbeen stealing orr wares, and
when he, she, or they went further, and af-
ter reading Mr.. Eadon's paper, neglected to
deliver the paper to him, stole has property,
too.
If this petty thieving about Jordan does
not stop, we shall put a detective on the
track of the thieves, and see what Uncle
Sam has to say about talnpering with his
mails. Will not the postmaster at Jordan
help us in this matter?
