Adr1N In Africa.

w. G. Barney, of Banner, writes
the Statesman that q letter had
been received in Banner from An
drew Bloomquist who, with James
Mckay, Charles Ewing and Joseph
Humboldt, went to South Africa
last October. He reports that he
had been fortunate enough to get
work but that the others had not
practically had employment since
they reached the gold fields. "He
says" continues Mr.. Barney, "there
are thousands of men out Of work
in the johannesburg district, most
of them, like the Banner party,
broke and unable to get out of the
country. They would be glad of
employment at any wages. Bloom
quist is working in a mine that
employs 1850 men, but of these,
100 are Kaffirs and only so white
men, which accounts somewhat for
the scarcity of work for white men.
The obvious logic for Idaho miners
is, "Stick to this country and dou't
go away to south Africa expecting
to strike a snap"

Governor Mcconnell condemned.

The Knights of Labor at Wallace
held a meeting last week and passed
the following resolutions condemn
ing Governor Mcconnell for his re-
cent treacherous proceedings in the
so-called inspection of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mines:

ernor of the State of Idaho, having
been duly petitioned by over seven
hundred men, concerned directly or
indirectly in the mining industry OF
this state, praying for the removal
Of State Mine Inspector w. s. Has.

ated, did visit this district for the
avowed purpose of investigating
tho charges put forth in said petit
ton, faithfully promising to receive
all the testimony in such a man.
ner as to protect all from unjust
intimidation; and,
WHEREAS, The said w. J. McCon-
nell has shown by his action in
giving to the mine-owners q copy
of the names on said petition to be
used as black list "a powerful
weapon to still further Cypress hu-
manity), total disregard for his
word as man and his honor as an
official; and proved himself to be,
by such gross breach of confidence,
the willing tool Of corporations,
thereby unhesitatingly spurning
the rights of the toiling masses,
wholly unworthy the trust reposed
in him BY the people as tho highest
officer in the state; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we condemn the
investigation, as coducted by Gov.
Mcconnell, as contemplate a farce
as that of his predecessor, "Acci-
dental" Wiley; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the attention of
the voters OF the State of Idaho be
called to this gross breach of conf
dence on the part of Gov. Neon
nell by causing these resolutions to
be given to the public press.

The Pocatello Tribune disposes
of Populism as follows:
1T is no longer necessary to dis
cuss Populism as an unknown
quantity. The lessons of expert
ence have taught US what it is and
what is to be expected from it
whenever it gains ascendency.
There is nothing in it, as its practi-
cal effects have shown. that intelli-
gent and patriotic citizens can af-
ford 70 endorse or indulge. Its
spirit is essentially mischievous, it's
is indisputably revolution
airy. The doctrines that it repre-
sents involve serious dangers, and
the results that it is seeking to &C.
complish are in all respects con-
trary to the best interests Of the
people. There is but one proper
way to deal with it, and that is to
denounce ard resist it in all local.
Ties and under all circumstances.
Certainly, Populism is not an un-
known quantity; for it teaches gov.
ownership of railroads.
Judge Caldwell's late Union Pacific
decision pronounces that doctrine
sound. It also declares in favor
