'Boorish in the Last Degree "

That was most ungracious and surly
attack that b.. Salt Lake Tribune made
upon Captain DeLamar in commenting
upon his marriage. We do not care
anything about any quarrel that the
Tribune may have with the captain, but
we must say it was boorish in the last
degree for the paper to give vent TO its
spleen under such circumstances. The
Tribune made itself ridiculous by pub
fishing number of absurd statements
sent out by New York correspondent.
One ofthese was that the captain was
worth $20,O00,000; another that he
owned gold mine ''two and one-half
miles long and one and one half miles
wide" A paper published in mining
community whore the facts of the case
are known that will pei NIT such ridiau-
lous statements to appear, should be
careful about any alleged "bad breaks"
of others. Captain DeLamar is human;
and, like all the rest of US, be no doubt
has his faults, but if he controlled q
newspaper he would not permit it to
fire broadside of abuse even at an en-
emy on such an occasion. The Trib-
une's editorial, to use one of it's favorite
expressions, was very scurvy Idaho

Nor did we ever see woman waltzing

One of the most intelligent Cinnamon
in this camp dropped into the NUGGET
office this week to express his views on
the Chinese must-go question and also
regarding the law suppress ny opium
smoking. He regrets that his people
followed the advice of the Six Compa-
MES and did not register, and sees plain
y that they made a bad mistake, and
hopes that deportation will not begin
until Congress has given them another
brief chance to rectify it.
In regard to the opium law, he says it
would have been wiser for the legisls-
ture to have passed law fixing heavy
license upon the opium dens and to have
let the Cinnamon indulge in this. their
b-setting vice. He argues that no
white people who are worth saving in a
community ever become addicted to the
vice, only few women from the lowest
fringe of the lower ten Thousand, and a
few men who are lower down in the

selves harmless, hence to punish them
is not so practical method of attempt
ing to stop the evil which cannot be

By what logic is a note that is silver

enough to issue these certificates on,
how and why does it, Immediately after

Idaho's Exhibit.

Every report coming from the Worlds
Fair respecting Idaho's fruit exhibit
must be most gratifying to our people al
home, for it tells that Idaho has made a
| finer display than even California. We
do not imagine that a greater surprise
was in store for visitors than tI.is. Thou
sands of intelligent people from states
east Of the Rocky mountains will admit
that the greatest surprise to them was
that Idaho raised any fruit at all. In a
vague way they imagined Idaho a
rough. mountainous country, where a
few good mines existed, where it was
too bleak and cold to prodace anything.
Some people never learn anything ex-
cept from object lessons, and if this one
object lesson does not trarh more peo-
pie what can be produced in the ex-
treme northwest. they will never learn.
The uniqne and attractive character
of Idaho's state building is also splen-
did advertisement for the state.
We have noticed scarcely any men
ton of the state mineral display but it
cannot be otherwise than good, and the
great inquiry now being made for gold
mines should, through this part of our
exhibit attract capital to us.
The following, clipped from a letter
written from The Idaho headquarters,
gives some idea of what the Worlds
Fair may be worth to Idaho
"Do the people of Idaho alize what
tue horticultural exhibit alone mraDs
for the state ? Already thousands of
visitors who never before heard of Ida
ho are making inquiries about our state.
They ask for reading matter, books,
pamphlets, state papers. anything that
will tell them more about Idaho All
this means an increased emigration to
Idaho, and the small sum that the ex-
hiblt has cost will more than be paid
back within year or two by the new
settlers"

AS to the Sherman silver purchase act,
/ have never regarded it as nnaiity,

nothing, and it will stand until we are

Remember there must, there can be
no compromise. The conflict is as ire
pressible as the old one between slavery
and freedom. 1t is that conflict in an
other shape. Free coinage or nothing
should be the watch word, and there
must be no faltering, though every dol
lar OF gold leaves the country, accompa-
MED by the remainder of the metal in
whatever form it may exist. If this We
do, the las, and most formidable of all
the conspiracies against the peoples
money will br defeated. Gold will then
flow inward as before, and that together
with silver, will form, as they should,
the basis of all our currency and all our
credit.-C. S. Thomas.
