ARMENIAys AND RUSSIANS.

TFrom the Contemporary Review.]
In every trade and in every profess
sion, in business and in the government
services, the Armenian sees himself
without g rival and in full possession
of the field. He equips the postal SER
vice by which you travel, and IL you
are so fortunate as to find an inn. the
landlord will be an Armenian. II the
local governor attaches to your ser
vice the head of the local police, IL will
be aStalWart Armenian in Russian uni
form, who will either find you a lodg-
ing or a shady garden in which TO erect
your tents. If you remark on the way
some well-built edifice which aspires to
architectural design, it will be the work
of an Armenian builder from AleXan-
dropol In that town itself, where the
Armenians are most numerous, the love
of building, which was so marked a
characteristic of their forefathers, has
blossomed again among kinder circum-
stances; a spacious cathedral and sew
eral large churches stand among new
stone houses fronted with ambitious
facades.
In Erivan each richer merchant has
lodged himself in an agreeable villa,
whose Italian architecture will rise
from the shade of poplars and willows
and fruit trees laden with fruit. The
excellent wine which is found in Erivan
is made according to the newest meth

for two years in Germany the most
modern appliances of the industry in
Europe. The monetary transactions of

appearance Of chief of brigands, will
bear, not much to its honor, an Ar

The large majority of the people do
not speak Russian, or speak it very
imperfectly. Indeed, were it not that
the governors and chief police officials
of large districts were Russians and
that Cossacks and Russian regular SOL
diers may here and there be seen. the
traveller would not suspect that he was
in Russian province, and would go
the way he listed with the most serene
composure until he was rudely aWak-
ened by some abrupt collision with the
Russian system and brought to his
proper mind. AS it is. the Armenian

Boise, Idaho, Aug. .-[Special.]
Idaho Republican convention nomin-
ated the following ticket:
For congress-Edgar Wilson, of
Boise.
For Governor-W. j. Mcconnell, the
present incumbent
For Supreme Court. w. Huston,
now chief justice.
For Secretary of State-I. w. Gar
rett, of Haley.
For Treasurer-C. Bunting, of Black
foot.
For Auditor-Frank Ramsey, present
incumbent.
For y-General-George NJ.
Parsons, present incumbent.
For Lieutenant GOVERNOR. J. Mills,
of Pocatello.
For Superintendent of Public In
struction-C. A. Forsman, of Lewiston.
There had been quite a stir over the
nomination for governor, but this
morning the opposition broke down
and Mcconnell was nominated by &C
clamation.
Edgar Wilson was also nominated
by reclamation. He is an attorney, and
is the retiring chairman of the state
central committee Mr. Wilson is very
of very high character.
The other nominees are all regarded
by their Republican friends as strong
men, and it is conceded, even by the
opposition, that the ticket is represen-
tative and thoroughly creditable to the
party and to the state.
A somewhat interesting feature of
the fight was that Many of Senator
Shoup's friends opposed the plan. This
is taken as indicating that in the event
of Mr.. Sweet not being able to control
majority of the legislative caucus,
Shoup will be candidate.
Friends of w. B. Hepburn also
fought the resolution, while a major
fly of the immediate friends of Sena-
tor Dubois, who has no direct interest
in the outcome this year, supported
it.
The platform adopted is short. 1t
opens with a declaration in favor of
free and unlimited coinage at the ratio
of 16 to l.
The tariff plank endorses the doctrine
of protection and denounces the I'M
friendly legislation of the Democratic
party toward the wool, lead, fruit, flax
and timber industries of the state.
Two important planks are as follows:
1.-The Republican party of Idaho de-
clares itself in favor of upholding and
maintaining the laws and furnishing all
violations of it under whatsoever pre-
tence such violation may be commit
ted. and we recognize no right as ex-
listing in any man or body to violate
or evade its provisions directly or in
directly. We pledge the party and
those whom it shall elect to public Of
fee to maintain and defend personal
and property rights to the full extent
guaranteed by the laws
1--WE favor submission of an equal
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton to a vote of the people by the
next legisIa tlre'

OF other letter writer's, Charles Lamb
and Nine. de Sevigne are perhaps best
suited for our dozy hours, because they
are sure to put us into a good and ami
able frame of mind. Moreover, the bulk
of Nine. de Sevigne's correspondence is
SO great that, unless we have been terry
faithful and constant readers, we are
likely to open into something which is
new to us; and as for Lamb, those who
love him at all love him so we'll that it
matters little which of his letters they
read or how often they have read them
before. Only it is best to select those
written in the meridian of his life. The
earlier ones are too painful, the latter
ones too sad. Let us take him at his
happiest, and be happy with him for an
hour.

ger association adjourned it's meeting TO-
day without having settled the question
of harvest excursions in any way, the mat
tier being left over till the next meeting
of the association. The chief topic under
discussion, today, was the request OF the
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor for rates to the meeting of 1895.
which will be held in San Francisco, if ar
rangements agreeable to the society can
be made with the railroads. The society
has asked that a rate of $50 for The round
trip west of the Mississippi river and
for one fare rate east be granted Moth
ing was done today in the way of granting
the rate and it will come UP for considera-
ton at a later meeting.
Pressure will be brought to bear upon

abandon its attitude on the harvest eX-
cnrSiOn matter.
