ATTORNEY GENERAL RoBERTs an
swers two questions propounded by
State Superintendent of Public In
structlon J. e. Harroun. The first is
-''In forming new district from ter
ritory embraced in one ore more dis
tricts, must the new district contain
an area of more than nine square
miles?" The second is-"Can a new
district be formed from one or more
districts, if by so doing either one or
both of the old districts are cut down
to an area of less than nine square
miles" To the first question the Attor,
nev General answers no; to the sec.
ond, yes. A district, unless it contain
over nine square miles cannot be di
vlded for the purpose of forming
new district, and there must be a
least fifteen persons of school ag'
left in the district after portion ha
been segregated for a new district
The law says nothing as to the size o
population of the new district. Sec
ton Il provides, inferentially, tina
there must be at least ten children o
school age in the new district.

chant
Statesman

When a few weeks ago it was an
nouDced that j. II. Bennett, the
wholesale furniture dealer at Main
aud Ninth streets had failed, consid-
cradle surprise was manifested. 1t
had been thought that he was 6nan-
cially sound, and beyond the reach Of
the evil of hard times. 1t seems that
Mr.. Benefits commercial wreck was
due to the work of clever swindler
who induced Mr.. Bennett and B. E.
Light to entrust him with money with
which to fight contest over : pat
ent. The fellow entered the employ
of Mr.. Bennett several months ago,
and after q time exhibited letter
from Washington offering him large
sum for patent right. He refused
to sell and Mr.. Bennett thought his
hired man had a big thing. A short
time afterward the man showed Mr..
Bennett another letter from Wash
ington, which announced that con-
test was pending in the matter of the
patent right. The man said he had
infringed no previous patent and be
declared he could defeat any contest.
He offered Mr. Bennett half inter-
est in the patent for 1880, with
which sum he proposed proceeding to
Washington where be could establish
the validity of bis patent. Mr.. Ben
nett and Mr. Light advanced the
money, their employee left. and he
never returned. The failure of Mr.
Bennett followed.

The blaine Boom.

New York, MAY 27.-The Blaine
feeling has taken a decidedly bold
movement. Senator Pettigrew, OF
South Dakota, has evidently got his
bearings. He said tonight he con-
fidently believed Blaine would be
nominated on the first ballot; that
the South Dakota delegation will cast
its first vote for Blaine. He will ge,
four from North Dakota, half of Min,
nesota, FIVE from Nebraska and 81,
from Montana. California will go tc
him with rush and other States will
follow suit.
]. Marshley, of Michigan, promi
nent Blaine man, said the Paci6
slope should have place on the tick
ct and he thought Blaine and Este,
would sweep the country.
j. Sloat Fassett thought Estee
good man. The Pacific slope ough
to get what it wants but Estee is no
a soldier and the candidate for Vic
President must be a Western ma
and soldier. He thought Geners
Alger very popular man.
/ The reporter asked if Fassett wa
prepared to say Blaine would acceE
. the nomination il he received As
votes. Fassett said he did not as
Blaine but did not think he woul
accept under those circumstances.

senator Stewart says he is unalter-
ably opposed to any compromise on
'"c s'iver question. "Them is our
sentiments, too" We look At ths
whole business in this way. Assum-
ing the silver question to be one Of
principle, which we believe it is. and
assuming that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver is right, which We
also believe, we can not see any Jeoit.
innate show for compromise. And
because, in matters of principle, com.
promise is only another name for
venalIty or treachery. 1t is some
times expedient to compromise with
an enemy but it is downright wicked
ness to compromise with friends.
We SPEAK on principle. In compro.
mlsing with an enemy we yield some.
thing for the sake of gaining an ad-
vantage. 1t would be treacherous to
treat a friend that way. Republicans
might be justified IN compromising
the silver question with Democrats
but when Republicans compromise
with each other they simply sacrifice
integrity and contribute to their own
destruction. Free coinage is abso-
lutely right or absolutely wrong.
That has been demonstrated. Com
promise Legislation has given no re-
lief to silver men and anything short
of full and complete recognition OF
silver as royal metal is short of ev.
erythiDg demanded. So long as com
promise exists, silver will be treated
as commodity and so long as tha,
debasement lasts, it will be at dis
count compared with gold. And
furthermore, if silver is not entitled
to recognition as perfect money
metal, it IS not entitled to recognition
at all, and government has no more
right to put its stamp on piece o
silver and call it money, than to pu
that stamp upon potatoes or turnip
or carrots and call them legal tender
Ii silver be a commodity, by wha
right, morally, does government pre-
sumo to provide an artificial marke
for the product of the silver mine
and deny that advantage to the iror
and coal miner, the farmer and stock
raiser? This compromise business i
unfair, illogical and ruinous. Silve
is either money or commodity; it Cal
not consistently be both. Put it oil
a par with gold or relegate it to th'
condition of pig iron. There is nj
halfway station.

IN the State Democratic conven-
ton Jas. H. Hawley, of Ada, and
Ashby Turner. OF Boise county, were
the candidates far delegate to the na
tional convention from this judicial
district. Hawley vas elected. Tbs
thing had been cut anil thoroughly
seasoned long before the convention.
There were three candidates from
Ada and it was too bad that one of
them got left. johnson and Hawley
we're both nominated, and Johnson
declined, but when it came to elect
ing the delegate at large he was again
nominated. Did he decline then?
Not much he didn't" and he was
elected. Fine scheme for Ada coun-
ty to get away with two delegates
and shut out Boise county entirely.
Ii Mr.. Turner had been thorough
mossback probably it would have
been different. Fossils and moss
backs are all powerful in Democrats
conventions in Idaho. How long
will the progressive element put up
with that kind Of work? We can in
form them that such work is likely to
continue. The progressive wing,
which is much the smaller wing, had
better come over into the party of
progress, where they belong. In this
party merit is a qualification that is
recognized and lack of luxuriant
growth OF moss is not considered dis
qualification. The Democratic howl
against carpetbagism means oppo-
sition to all who did not come to Ida
ho in the sixties and have not become
thoroughly fossilized. We have
nothing to say against those old
timers, but to say that to be an old
timer is the chief qualification for po
litical preferment is supremely ridic
ulous. The leaders Of the Demo.
cratic party In this State are those
who have delighted in sitting dowr
on what they term the carpetbag
gers and tenderfeet." If one o
them happens not to be as competen
as an old-timer i, is all right to sup
port the old-timer, but that is not the
theory of the Democratic party il
this State, or of those who rule in tn,
councils of that party. Competence
is not the first consideration.
