THE FATE OF IDAHO.

The FATE Of Idaho, for veal or
woe the next two years, hangs poised
in the balances of the incoming
legislature. Ii that body will meet
the expectations and demands of the
state, the next two years will see q
large Influx OF population, a growth
in wealth and y development OF Intent
resources that will bring wonder 10
the most .anguine and hopeful. II
it fall short Of this, the wheels of the
car OF progress will stand still, and
the close of the two years next will
find us but little in advance of where
we are today.
The News appeals to the members
to act with discretion and thoughtful
care and to follow the promptings of
true patriotism. The history made
by the last Legislature should teach
the present body lessons that shonld
look up into their faces from their
desk every morning of the session.
Give US first the needed Legislation
demanded by the state and all the
state. and let local matters follow.
The young members have a mag
ni6cent opportunity to make q name
and fame for themselves individually,
or neglecting it, to draw upon them
selves obloquy, censure aud shame
We shall watch and see OF what stuff
they sre made.

THE OPPORTUNITIES OF ,os

The YEAR 1892 is behind us. The
journey by which we passed through
it is fresh in memory. The ripping
streams upon whose messy banks we
sat down when duty called US on and
on are still making music In our ears.
The fields in which we stopped to
scatter our seeds OF wild oats are
fresh and green to the eye. The
shady groves in which we frittered
away moments of precious time live
pleasantly in the imagination Of to.
day. The good and the evil which
we did in that year are close to us.
We remember 1t ALL
In these its closing hours We
should balance our books, and see
now we stand with ourselves, our
fellow men and our God. Let us not
rrcomnit the plumbers of 1892 in
1893 Ii we made mistakes then let
us not repeat them in the new year.
La other words let US profit By the
past by stunning our mistakes and
multiplying our deeds for good

ABOUT OFFICE SEEKERS.

IL rs remarkable how men grow
suddenly interested in politics when
there is chance Of preferment in
sight 1t perhaps charaeterizes the
selfish interests of humanity, and the
same condition prevails all over the
country. Men who have had no faith
in their party for years and not
enough interest TO belong to any of
its organizations or contribute any.
thing to its support, do not hesitate
to ask for office when the party
achieves success. And men who
never contribute cent to their party,
and who are not known in the fight,
really must have slots of nerve to
ask for office when victory is won;
yet they do so with as much assurance
as if they had led the yictors 10 the
charge. II they are called upon in a
campaign for dollar to pay ex-
penses, they avoid payment, declaring
they have no faith In that kind of
politics where it takes money to win.
Either this or SOM other method is
employed. They are not known in
contest The other boys put up the
money, give their time and efforts to
the arrangement of the campaign
and fight the battle 1t may be a
contest where life and liberty is in
Yolved, where private interests are
sacrificed and great risks taken. No
matter if it is, the boys will be there
to do the fighting, and these men will
linger securely in the background
till the clouds have cleared away, and
then if victory perches upon our
standard they then rush in and claim
the spoils. They would have the men
who did the fighting stand back until
they are satisfied
This condition is not confined to
the Democratic ranks We saw some
thing Of it in Republican ranks four
years ago when Mr.. Harrison was
elected. We saw camp followers then
following in the wake of the fighting
columns come to the front and de-
mand the best fruits Of the victory.
THE News trusts it will not see
such moves repeated in Democratic
ranks this year. II to tine vIctors
belong the spoils, and we are to get
the spoils because of the election
of the Democratic National ticket,
then to the fighters belong the spoils
and they should have them.
We must not be understood in this
to wish to shut out men who did what
they could in quiet way for party
success, but those whose affection for
party and party success became
known only when the fight was over
and the victory won.

supporters that there was danger of catch

not considered quite satisfactory.
