THE FAT MANS CORNER.
The Idaho Recorder, so brightly
and ably edited by Mrs. Ada Merritt,
vice president of the Idaho Press
Association, says: 1.-The executive
committee of the Idaho State Press
Association is preparing an interest
ing programme for the entertainment
of the Faber weilders. An excursion
to Salt Lake is one of the possibilli-
ties. We trust all the old bachelor
editors will be on hand, for we will
attend that meeting or break corset
string. If the fat man were only a
bachelor, now, he would take great
pleasure in repairing that damage and
putting in a new string, but as it is
ah, well--we fear our wife wouldn't
stand it. However we learn that
Captain Gum has been hanging
around Boise dry goods stores.
The large number of Congressman
who are "sawing wood indicates
that somebody may be surprised when
the first vote is taken on the silver
question.

pie of prominence who are visited by
misfortune would be welcome by the
thousands of poor devils with whom
misfortune has taken up permanent
residence.
The longer that attack of rheuma-
tism keeps President Cleveland at
Buzzard's Bay the better it will suit
the hold-over office holder.
The Fremont County Democrat is
on our table 1t is published at
Rexburg by the Democrat Publishing
Co., name of editor not given. The
Democrat has good field to work in
if it pursues the correct lines. Dem
ocratic journals should be the first to
damn the administration for the finan-
cial policy it is now pursuing, which
is an open betrayal of democratic
principles, for which the party at
large is not responsible and does not
endorse. THE man who repudiates
the platform upon which he was
elected is a vile traitor, and through
ignoring the silver plank in the dem
ocratic platform Grover Cleveland has
cooked his eternal goose with the
common democrats' though the gold
bug wing of the east may uphold
him.
An exchange prints column ex-
planning why the sons of Congress-
men who die while in office are cleo
ted to succeed their fathers. Space
might have been saved and a better
explanation given by saying that the
sons are more familiar than others
with the machinery by which their
fathers controlled their districts.
The wise people of Payette who
formed fruit growers association
have found it pays. They have been
unable to supply the demand or keep
anywhere in sight of the orders they
have received. After about ten
years of this kind of work so near
them the ''pioneers" and others of
this neighborhood will open one eye
and think of following suit.
a marriage of Prince ''collars and
cuffs was given almost as much>
American newspapor space as some of
his fathers earliest escapades en-
joyed.
BOISE city has debt of s151, 900.
No public corporation can get needed
improvements without going in debt
for them and throwing some of the
cost on future property wealth to be
developed, and Boise knows this, but
some folks don't
