Anderson, of Mineral. The wedding
took place on December 9th, at eight
o'clock p. M, in Keeton & Kerfoot's
hall, T. H. Manning, j. P, off1ciat-

with evergreens, flowers and lace cur

large imitation horseshoes, all finely

and groom marched into the hall
while the wedding march was being
played by Mesdames Matheson and
Peck, which was we'll rendered. They
marched in front of the music stand
and faced an audience of about rs

ton with reference to the populous
sections of the state, possesses the
climatic conditions of both Northern
and Southern Idaho. The irrigable
lands lie in the shape of a horseshoe,
two hundred miles around and forty
miles across, embracing an area of
a half million acres, al, except Salmon
Meadows, being drained by the Weiser
river and its twenty tributaries. Since
the first settlement of Idaho the Wei
ser country has been noted for the
variety and excellence of its cereals,
fruits and live stock. Recently rich
mines of silver, gold, iron, copper,
mica and coal have been discovered
and partially developed. Washing
ton county is now the banner wool
producing county of the state. The
low hills and mountains are covered
with pine, fir and tamarack in mex
haustible quantities, while the banks
of the streams are lined with balm
alder, cottonwood and willow.
The town of Weiser, the county
seat of Washington county, situated
at the confluence of the Weiser and
Snake rivers, on the o. S. L. railroad,

ing the course of the Weiser river to
Salmon Meadows, thence down the
Little Salmon, continuing to juno

tinental lines in the north. This
project is attracting the attention of
our public men, who view it as fea-

and a necessity to closer relations
with each other. The consummatior
of this enterprise would serve to place
the Agricultural College, if located

THE VICTORY COMPLETE.

Governor Hills victory in New
York, il seems, is pretty complete.
The democrats there, through Hills
superb management, carried their
state ticket by nearly 10000 plurality.
But, owingto the criminal gerrymander
of the assembly districts by the rrpuh-
leans the legislature was left in scri-
Gus doubt.
Information received At headquarters
convinced Hill that the democrats had
elected Il majority of both senatorial
and lower house candidates, but that
the republicans were preparing TO
count mi enough democrats and count
in enough republicans 10 leave them in
control of the general assembly.
Governor Hill nj oncc went to work
to circumvcnt these ncfarious schemers
and has succeeded. He first drove
them away from their attempts to
violate the returns and then into the
state courts.
In these tribunals justice and right
were sure to prevail, and so they have.
The contests have all been decided by
high courts of the state, and all but
one in favor of the democrats. The
democrats now have control of both
houses and will not only redistrict the
state so that Il democratic vote for an
assembly man c an be counted, but
elect II United States senator, when
Mr.. Hiscock r~etircs.

HE d 1T CLEAN,

One little incident of the speaker
ship contest gives the lie IN the most
unmistakable and liatfooted manner to
the dirty scandal started by the
st. Louis Republic that Crisp's APP
pointment of Springer as chairman of
ways and means, was the result of II
bargain.
just before the 3Oth ballot was
taken, Mr.. Springer and twelve of his
followers, those who had remained
true to him through - ballots, held
Il meeting in Springer's quarters. Mr..
Springer thanking them for their loyal
support, announced his intention of
going out of the fight and said to them ::
81 ask for nothing myself, hut | wan
to see YOU cared for. You can remain
here i'm caucus and determine whom
you desire to support. If by voting
with you ! can forward Your interests,
name your candidate and your choice
shall be mine His friends refused to
take advantage of his offer and follow
ing him into the chamber where the
caucus was assembled, voted as suited
them, leaving him to vote rs he desired.

SO make them that there could be no
silver coinage Legislation, and they
would support no man who would not
so pledge himself.
Now, as these two Massachusetts
goldbugs refused to votc for Crisp
even after he was nominated because
he refused To pledge himself against
silver coinage, and since they had been
strong Mills men, it is infcrablc that
he, Mills, had pledged himself against
SILVER coinage. In other words, Mr..
Mills, in order to secure votes had
pledged himself to deliver the demo
cratic party bound hand and foot over
Ia the monomctaliStS and monicd
p~lutocrats of New England.
The election of Crisp has left the
party free to bring forward all the
issues upon which the next battle is Ia
be fought.
The election of Mills would have
bound it down To one, schackled its
limbs, fottcrrd its hands and sent il
hobbling through the next campaign
on one leo.

AROJrT THE ~SPEAKERSUJp

The INTELLIGENCER would not de-
vote so much space to the speakership
matter were it not for the vIllainous
attempt certain newspapers have been
making for the past two weeks To
blacken the character and weaken the
influence of a democratic speaker of
the congress and many of his followers,
friends and appointees.
Because Mr.. Springer chose To cast
his vote for Mr.. Crisp, he has been ac-
cused OF having been purchased by the
promise of the appointment to the
craftsmanship of the ways and means
committee.
Because Mr.. Crisp, recognizing the
political logic of the situation, appoint
ed Mr.. Springer as chairman of the
ways and means committee, he is ac-
cused of simply carrying out a dis
graceful and d~isgracing bargain.
1t is proper to say here that it was
perfectly natural for Mr.. Springer to
cast his vote as. ne did. During the
canvass for the speakership, there was
a continuous effort on the part of Mr..
Mills and his friends to proselyte from
the following of his opponents. Over
lures were continually made to friends
of Hatch, Crisp, Springer and McMil-
Ian to induce them to desert their
leaders and march into the Mills camp.
But the principal assault was made
upon the Springer column. Springer,
himself, was offered the craftsmanship
of ways and means, if he would aban-
don the fight and throw his influence
to Mills.
These tactics made Springer very
mad five or six days before the meet
ing of the caucus be found his friends
were being won away from him by the
active work and nefarious devices
being resorted to by Mills workers.
Yet, Notwithstanding all this, he offer
ed to vote for Mills if his followers de
cided in caucus that he should do so.
From all evidence, while Mills was
struggling so hard to break the follow
ing of the other candidates. Crisp was
pursuing quite a different policy. He
treated each of his opponents with the
utmost fairness. He neither tried to
win votes from Springer nor sought to
break the backbone of McMillan's
forces. He did not ask any friend of
Hatch to desert his leader and come
over to his camp; o did he go among
Mills friends and try to win them away
by promises of preferment.
As far as Crisp was concerned there
was never a fairer race made. And 1t
might be added a nobler chieftain IA
never crowned with victory.

A DISASTER

Since the election of Mr.. Crisp for
speaker, % n few newspapers have
FASTENED to discern in his selection II
very pernicious conspiracy to turn the
democratic party over to the protection
lists.
Some men can see n ''nigger in the
wood pile" the darkest night that ever
hid its face in tar.
But what could not the supporters
of Speaker Crisp charge against Mr..
Mills and some of his Packers were
they disposed to quarrel?
One little incident has formed the
groundwork for some serious suspic-
ions against Mr.. Mills.
During the chucusing Messrs. Hoar
and Williams, of Massachusetts, voted
for Mills on every ballot.
When it came to ratifying caucus
action in the house, these two refused
to vote for Crisp although in honor
bound to do so. Upon being asked
why they had refused to obey the voice
of the caucus they said it was because
Crisp had refused to pledge them that
in making up his committees he would

WHO MAKE ISSITES9

1t is not the convention nor is if the
leaders who make political issues.
issues are born at the liresides of the
people. They are born of what the
people want, and grow upon their
necessities.
Craftsmanship consists If aiding the
people to secure through legislation
what they need. Leadership exists in
ascertaining the wants of the people,
and crystalizing political action for
the purpose of obtaining relief.
Now 90 to the American tiresides
and what do we hear the people talk
ing about? OF what do they complain?
What measure of relief do they seek us
Il remedy?
One prevalent complaint is against
the eXorbitant taxation through tariff
duties. Seven out of ten of all the peo-
pie you meet make this complaint. The
remedy is a reduction of tariff duties,
and tariff Reform is, therefore, not be
cause some big man said it, au issue in
politics.
Another man complains of the
scarcity of money, complains of a sys-
tenn of Legislation that seeks to Gtrikc
down one of our money metals and
thus make still another reduction of
themoney supply. "Why," they ask,
''destroy silver as a money metal, when
our fathers used it for eighty-one
years and found it ut the end of that
time worth three per cen more than
gold? Why rob us of natures heritage
and deprive us of our s~ilver?"
Hedged in with obligations to family
and homes fettered by debt and kept
poor by paying interest, men complain
at nothing quicker han n fiscal policy
that but adds to their burthens. See
ing relief in a money plenty, and
coinage of silver believing that will
come through as their fathers had
it, the issue of silver coinage
comes forward as one worthy the
attention of statesmen and financiers-
one well worthy of being grated IN
the national platform of their party.
But those are not all the issues,
though these two lead and must have
precedent in any party founded as was
the democratic party.
The party need not quarrel over n
leader. The ~exigencies of the times
will bring him forth, and the people
will know him when he comes.
The thing to do is to look carefully
after the interests of the people. When
a man is sick and has but one disease
the treatment is simple enough. But
if there is a complication of complaints
we must treat all of them. The people
are attacked by Il complication of
political diseases. The democratic
doctors must treat all of them, and not
one, as some advise, permitting the
others to bring exhaustion and death.

No, you don't believe any such a

yourself further, if that were possible,
by saying that you do. You thought
you could take advantage of the fact
that the present proprietor and editor

and thus gain a little business advan-
tage through innuendo and f%alsehood,

Governor Francis has sought the
legal opinion of Col. Broadhead, of st.
Louis, and of Judge +. II. Norton
concerning the necessity of calling II
special session of the state Legislature
t. redistrict the state. Both these
| armed Judges concur in the opinion that
the law gives the governor ample power
to make the apportionment himself, and
that IL special session is not necessary.
Hon. Sam Sparks disagrees with
Judges Norton and Broadhead, and
says that the statutes cited by them
are not in harmony with the constitu-
ton. Judge Broadihead has written n
s ,cond letter in which he meets Mr..
Sparks objections. So it is likely
that the governor will soon meet and
divide the state into fifteen electoral
districts.

II might be profitable for democrats

Another cause of democratic success
