GOV. HUMPHREY. rdSSment was not
from any lack of good material, but
from the fact that half dozen candi-
dates were presented, each of whom
would have been regarded in every
respect worthy of appointment
in point of ability. My purpose
was to give a fair hearing to
the friends of the several candi-
dates and to listen to the advice of
prominent citizens interested in the
matter regardless of candidates. A
good many advocated the appointment
of some man who would be expected
simply to serve out the year with the
understanding that he should not be
candidate for reelection with the idea
that that would lee the state an open
field wear hence .Jr as many candi-
dates as might aspire I the office. l
inclined, however, to the view general
" expressed that | should select
a man well equipped by expert
euce to represent the state in
all those matters that pertain to
the senatorial office. Having in
view the long service of Judge Perkins
on the bench and in the lower house OF
congress, where he was by common
consent one of the acknowledged lead
ers of the Kansas delegation, it seemed
to me that disappointment would prove
satisfactory to the people of the state.
1T may be said that my motive in
the appointment of Judge Perkins was
selfish in that it would remove him as
possible candidate for congress
in the Third district in the interest
of myself for the Office. On this
account | hesitated in the matter. but
the fact is that Judge Perkins was not
in nv way for congress, having pub
licly declared as well as privately to
me and other friends that he would not
be in the race. On the other hand other
friends in the immediate section of the
state have advised me against the ap-
pointment of Judge Perkins, having In
view the fact that in the future some
republican will in all human PROBABLE
ity succeed Senator PETER and that by
the appointment of Judge Perkins, re-
siding in The neighboring county from
me, would thereby foreclose any pros
pect | might have in that direction. To
both of these propositions l uniformly
replied that should not be governed
by personal considerations of advan-
tage to myself. but on ths contrary
| would endeavor to make a proper and
| iudicious appointment regardless OF its
effects upon any future political ambi-
| ton that I might have"

A CAMPAIGN OF SENTIMENT.

With Benjamin Harrison as the
republican nominee and Grover
Cleveland leading the democratic
party, the campaign in the state Of
Idaho resolves itself into merely a
question of sentiment so far as the
presidential election is concerned.
There is not one economic ques-
ton that effects the state of Idaho
upon which there is any more diff
ference between Grover Cleveland
and Benjamin Harrison than the
difference between tweedledee and
tweedledum. There are those ques-
tions which interest us here-the
free coinage of silver, reciprocity
with Canada and the survey of the
public lands. On the first question
both candidates are openly opposed
to our interests, on the second and
third there is as much hope from
one as the other.

THE HOPE PAPER TURNED OVER.

1t will be remembered that the
HERALD has had occasion to call the
Hope Prospector to time for its un-
calledfor attacks on Bonner's Ferry.
1t seems that Mr.. Yost can hardly
open his mouth without putting
his foot into it. The last buzz saw
he ran up against was the Spokane
Sunday Sun, and as the Prospector
takes especial pride in referring to
the Sun as authority, we take the
liberty of printing the following
quotation for its benefit.
"When the lash is administered
to us for our i'll dOings by journal
worthy of our notice, we always
bare our back and receive our casti-
CATION in silence, humiliation and
with all due submission. But when
such a sniveling idiot, the offshoot
of the human race, standing forth
as the personifeation of the OAR
winian theory, undertakes to cali
aus to account for showing up crime
i'm all its hideousness, totally de
void of coloring, then it is time to
sit down on such things once and
for all.
"Were it possible for us to be
abusive we would ask for nothing
better than such a mark. That is
the trouble, we are too lenient with
our would-be detractors. We aim
to be on the best of terms with all
newspapers and journalists. To
us they are ever welcome, yet-we
have to draw the line somewhere.
When this sneaking hound sent us
copy of his rag called the Hope
Prospector' and asked us to ex-
change, we would gladly have done
so had we founda particle of merit
a spark of intelligence or the slight
est semblance of journalism. But
there neither was nor is there a re-
trieving point about it. All that
we could see was % columns, &c

In the SLOGAN Country.

Latest advices from SLOGAN state
that the snow has disappeared to
an elevation of 1000 feet and that
the SUBMITS of the mountains will
be clear by July 10. A number of
capitalists from Colorado, Califor-
MIA, Montana and Idaho are exam
lining the claims free of snow and
all unite in stating that the SLOGAN
is the richest mining country on
the continent.
The SLOGAN Star is said to show
vein of ore equal to any ore dis
covered in this vicinity, twenty
feet wide.
During the last three weeks
there has been a great number of
new locations recorded. In one
day fifteen locations were recorded
at Eldorado. Several locations
showing good ore have been made
about two miles south of the Noble
Five by Fry, Copeland and others.
Charley Sinclair has also located
rich claim in this vicinity. Two
claims have been located within
two miles of Eldorado by Smith &
Hayse. They show veins of galena
from eight inches to three feet wide
of extra good quality.
George Gebhert and S. A. John
son, of Spokane, have struck it
rich about one and one-half miles
from the claims of Smith and
Hayse. 1t is the same lead and
they claim to have a lode twelve
feet wide. The ore is of the same
grade found elsewhere in this camp.
Four new locations have been
made on the same range as the
Noble Five group, thirty miles from
Kaslo and eight miles from the
Noble Five. The vein is said to be
fifteen feet wide and carries twelve
to eighteen inches of rich ore.
Average samples assay 2O9 2-10,
1864 and 534 $40 ounces in silver
with an average of SO per cent. OF
galena.
The locations have been named
the Lucy, Roulette, Rebound and
Mountain Lily. The owners are

Rae and Thomas Wall. Wall was
formerly employed as foreman in

perienced miner.

HONEY STILL AT IT.
The Prosecution Sums Up Its Case
To-Oay.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEwsi

NEWPORT, June 10.-There was an in
tense1y Interested crowd at the hearing
over the Honey memorials which was re-
suned at 1920 this morning. City Clerk
Stearns was called and put in certified re-
turns, the official warden's count, and
also the board of aldermen's official re-
turns.
The presentation of affidavits of Frank
G.. Harris and others was objected to by
Honey but ruled admissible by the
chairman. Though the afiirmants return
TO the State before the hearing Is closed
they will be subponed and examined in
open court This closed the memorlalists
case.
Mayor Honey repeated his speech de-
livered last week In General Assembly,
and wound up by saying that he was
credibly informed that the committee had
already decided to unseat him and his
colleagues Bang went the gavel and
Honey was called TO order by Chairman
Allen, who, with great dignity. refused to
allow such AN outrageous insult TO pass
unnoticed.
Honey rendered an humble apology be-

was OF great dramatic force, and amid
breathless silence Ellsworth declared that
