The Difference Between Burke
and Other Sinners.


There are many men in the west
who drink, who gamble, and who
occasionally take quiet DEPRESSION
from the paths of virtue. TO deny
it would be hypocrisy and dissimu-
lation pure and simple; but the
great distinction between the most
Of these men and John Burke, DEM
ocratic aspirant for governor, is
that they are heartily ashamed when
these "white sins" are food for pub
lie gossip, whereas John Burke
glories in his disgraces and boasts
loud and often that he does these
things and is proud Of it. A screw
is loose in the moral makeup of
nearly all men, but the man who
proclaims MS short comings from
the housetop with a Bowery brag-
adocio, has screws loose all over and
is as unfit for public Office as John
Nj. Burke's true character is unfit
| for publication.
A citizen of Wardner aud the
editor of the American were laugh
ing over the farcical candidacy of
J. NJ. Burke when third man re-
marked, fare you not afraid that if
you advertise the fact that Burke
is the kind of man we all know he
is, that it will help his political
chances rather than adversely affect
them. If you show that If he goes
on sprees and is sort of genteel
rounder he will catch all the hobo
votes |" The argument Of this gen.
tleman means this: "while we all
know that Burke is sort of spread
eagle sport with a tincture of re-
spectability we must not mention
the fact lest the DRINKS and second
rate gamblers, focking like birds
Of a feather, will give him political
support. If Burke is an ignoramus
in all matters which a governor
should know, it must not be
breathed lest all the ignoramuses
in the state, with sort of kindred
love, will vote for him." If such q
rule holds good it is the best thing
in the world to advertise Mr.. Burke's
peculiar Dor Quixotic dement's, for
should he by that rule attract the
buns and ignoramuses he would in
like turn repel all men Of common
sense and decent instincts.-Cnur

His Record.

A Boise county man writes II
suppose you know McConnell's
early history in Boise county, and
his connection with vigilantes. 1t
might make good campaign liter
ature."
No, we know nothing of our own
knowledge about Mr.. Mcconnell in
Boise county. We do know, how
ever. that his name has frequently
been associated with the hanging
of Updyke and that it was and is
charged that Updyke was hanged
for his money, and that his execu-
TONERS got about $4,000 out of the
Job. This being true, they were
highwaymen, because even if Up
dyke was such bad man that it
was necessary to hang him, his
money should have been turned
over to the public authorities, and
failing in this duty, those who hang
ed him became highwaymen.
From Eastern Oregon we have
more direct testimony against Mr..
Mcconnell. We are acquainted
with gentleman who was carrying
the express from LaGrande to Ea-
gle creek from 1866 to 1867 or '69,
who saw Mcconnell and a confed-
crate hang missouri john" in a
canyon near the road, between
Keiser's and Union town. The
hanging was done in the night time,
and was butchery that would have
made Comanche Indian blush to
confess that he was human. John
was taken from the camp fire, where
he, the expressman, Mcconnell and
his assistant butcher had been talk
ing together, and put on the back
of a mule. The mule was then led
under projecting limb, rope put
around the mans neck and attached
to the limb. The mule was then
led from under him. John seized
the rope with his hands and climb
| ing up to the limb seated himself
! on top of it. The two butchers
then climbed the tree and after
long struggle, tied their victims
hands, showed him off Of the limb
and left him hanging. Two years
afterwards some of his friends hav-
ing heard that the expressman knew
something of Johns fate, made IN
quiry and were directed by him to
the scene of the butchery, where
they found the skeleton still hang
ing. John was accused of stealing
horses, and the republican nominee
for governor of Idaho did not thint
the formality of trial necessary
in the administration of justice, ane
the same opinion prevails in Sho
shone county to-day. There mer
are condemned without trial ant
their families insulted by one O
monopoly's toadies who is permit
ted to strut in "little brief author
ity." And that is Idaho Republi
canism.-Boise Sentinel.

Gan. Vanderyoorts Address Ct Boise.


Omaha, Nebraska, one Of the ablest
speakers in the ranks Of the popu-
list party, spoke at Sonna's opera
house Monday evening to an audi
ence of over 800 people. The gen.
eral is quite a rotund gentleman,
with a pleasant face and voice. His
remarks, which were delivered rap
idly, were much appreciated by the
audience judging from the applause.
He said in opening that he was
glad to come before the people Of
Boise to enunciate the principles Of
the peoples party, party that had
risen in moment and which it's
opponents had prophesied would
die in moment, but which had
become one Of the strongest parties
Of the nation. OF the parties chances
for success in the various states the
general said that they we're sure Of
North and South Dako ta, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa
and South Carolina. The republic
, can party he said, was sure of but
one state for Harrison, and that
was Vermont. He believed that the
peoples party was the only one
that could heal the breach between
the north and south, between ted
eral and confederate, and thus unite
the nation in one grand party, free
from the bloody shirt wavers and
the chronic officeholder.
His talk on the free coinage of
silver and an honest dollar was
! listened to with great attention and
frequently applauded. He seid that
the gold bugs of Wall street had a
grip on the throats of the leaders
in the republican ranks, and he ar
raigned President Harrison for max
ing promises Of what he would do
for silver when he took the reigns
of government and then going over
to Wall street body and soul. The
general said that Secretary Foster
was coward and had shown him.
self as such when he asked the
Rothchilds and the nations Of the
old world to fix value on the coin
Of nation which was big enough
to whip the whole of them. That
the wheat growers of Nebraska and
Iowa, the cotton growers Of the
south, were as heartily in favor OF
free coinage as were the people OF
Idaho, there could be no doubt.
! The speaker wound up his talk
on the silver question by giving the
history of the characterization Of
silver. He laid the blame on John
Sherman and the republican party.
The general made some good points
during the course of his remarks
He said that although the republi-
can party had thrown women into
prison in the Cnur d'Alenes, had
shot down men at Homestead, Buff:
alo and Coalville, the peoples party
was lowering over the nation to-day
like white-winged dove of peace
ready to right all things on the Stt
day of November next. The re-
publican administration would con
tribute billion dollars to improve
rivers that could only be navigated
/ by catfish and turtles, but it refused
to give cent toward erecting reser
voirs and irrigating bitches to make
millions of acres in this arid region
bloom as the rose. He stated tha
, he was not much of a general, hav
ing been promoted to that IT'LL
after thu war was over, something
, like the general that the governor
of Idaho had sent into the Cnul
d Alenenes. This brought dowr
the housekeeping Mail.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast in tho Edect q
Two Poisons On the Complexion.

Bemafk4ble contrast IN the 66eoC o.
Two Poisons On tho Complexion.
The slow absorption Of many
poisons changes in some more or
less modified form the complexion,
but arsenic and ammonia show their
effect about as quickly as any. The
popular belief that arsenic clears
the complexion has led many silly
women to kill themselves with it in
small, continued doses.
It produces a waxy, ivory-like
appearance of the skin during q
certain stage Of the poisoning, but
its terrible after effects have become
too we'll known to make it of COM
mon use as cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the oppo-
site to that of arsenic. The first
symptoms Of ammonia poisoning
which appears among those who
work in ammonia factories is dis
celebration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually ex-
tends over the face until the COM
plexion has a stained, blotched.
and unsightly appearance. With
people who take ammonia into their
systems in smaller doses, as with
their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear SO soon.
The only effect of the poison that
is visible for time is a general un-
wholesomeness and sallowness Of
the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorb
ing ammonia poison without know
ing it. The use Of ammonia in the
manufactures has greatly increased
of late, and tits unquestionably
used as an adulterant in certain
food preparations. Official analysis
have plainly shown it's use even in
such cheap articles of every day
consumption as baking powders
The continued absorption of am
monia in even minute quantities al
an adulterant in food is injurious
not merely from its effect upon thu
complexion, but because it destroy
the coating of the stomach ane
causes dyspepsia and kindred evils

if to fifty million parts of waite
there is one part of ammonia, tn

dear old party in Ketchum revealed
the fact that only three followers
remained. Col. Brodhead, the clerk
of election, George Miller, the judge,
and Kentuck-the voter. Now this
startling fact threw Kentuck into a
vast trepidation. In the voice of
Hamlet he exclaimed: ITO he, or
not to be, that is the question
He scratched his head and clutched
his disheveled locks in hopes to
cause a reaction of his befuddled
brain. The light at last burst in

lemma was solved. In a voice trem'
