What's in a Name,
PETTY SPITE WORK.

A Washington dispatch In the Boise
Statesman few days ago, states that the
name of the postoffice al D4Lamar had
been changed TO Regain For small
ness and petty meanness this action
takes the cake. 1t was undoubtedly
brought about by some political oppo-
nent of Capt. DeLamar's, and was calcu-
lated to wound the feelings of the latter
gentleman, who is unquestionaby far
above his opponent in fair dealing and
honorable, manly traits On can hard
ly conceive of meaner method OF vent
ing personal spite, than this, and every
man in Owyhee, be he friend or foe of
Capt. DeLamar's, protests against it.
We wish to say right here that Mr.. T.
Regan, in whose honor the new name
was given, had nothing whatever to do
with the matter expresses regret that
such action should have been taken,
and expresses a readiness to sign any
petition or remonstrance which may be
inaugnratsd to defeat the change in
names.
Aside from the malicious and unwar-
rsntable view of this question, the |
change in names would result 10 vexa-
tious mistakes and be a source of much
Inconvenience to every business house
having dealings with residents of Della
mar. There is not reason which can
be advanced why change would be d. g.
sirable, and the people Of Owyhee will
enter such vigorous protest that the
order will be speedily reversed and the
'sorehead," who by trickery and decep-
ton conceived the plan of vengeance.
will see his ''pretty work" undone.-

WANTED SOMETHING CLASSICAL.
The name the DeLamar postoffice
las been chang d to Regain out of re-
pect, no doubt, to the old masters. Re-
,an IS classical name frequently found ,
n Homer and Virgil, and is Raphael t
sque in coloring None but college
red statesman of artistic tastes would {
onceive such refinement. We hope. il
hough, Senator Dubois had nothing to l
o with the causing of this change His
onstituency have never suspected him
+ poetical tendencies and elected him ;,
office In utter forgetfuness of his be- g
1g an alumnus. He should eschew The v
'surrection of deceased memories. But t
hoover did it was evidently inspired
q mean streak. 1t is is simply an in
lit aimed at Capt. DeLamar and very E
lily one at that. The Tribune noes no a.
now anything much of DeLamar, but d.
the record is straight be is entitled to OF
le credit of having developed, if he did g
ot discover, one of the greatest mines O.
the world. Nobody questions his :;
'ility and enterprise in that direction. -
