BOISE, January Is, 1894.
Hon. W. J. McCoNSELL, Governor:
l find upon my table to-day a COM
munication from you as chairman OF the
board of prison commissioners, wherein
you request me to resign the position
held by me as physician to the Idaho
state penitentiary. You preface the re-
quest with a statement that the fact that
Twas appointed by an administration
adverse to you," etc. What am to in
fer by this? l was appointed by board
Of commissioners supposed to be repub-
lican. How was the administration OF
Gov. Wiley adverse to you? Is it true,
as has been more than intimated, that
You consider every one adverse" to you
who does not take you at your own ex-
allied estimate? You admit that my
service has been satisfactory and that no
fault has been found with me, personal
ly; but you say many of my friends
have solicited US (meaning, suppose,
the board OF prison commissioners to
make division Of the patronage" This
taffy might go down were it not for the
fact that you have stated to my friends
that the reason for my removal was that
some OF my relatives were not in accord
with your Senatorial aspirations, and
you presumed l entertained the same
views. Why not vary the monotony OF
your exuberant fancy by an occasional
indulgence in truth?
/ am not informed by your conmuni-
cation that your request is the result OF
any action OF the board. l would like to
be assured Of this, for it may be that you
are emulatiDg the present national exec
utive and running the government your
self. 1t would be interesting to the
people OF Idaho to know that they have
a Grover among them. 1t might also be
well enough that the people should be
advised that the tenure OF office under
Gov. Mcconnell is dependent upon sub
serviency to the executive will and I'M
questioning obedience to his autocracy's
dietation, especially in matters involving
the political ambition of "his autocra-
cy." Unquestionably the board has the
power to remove me. To ask Of me vol
UNFAIRLY to acquiesee in what would, i'm
pliedly at least, admit that had been
guilty Of some personal or professional
dereliction is one Of those unbIushing
exhibitions Of impudence for which your
autocracy has become somewhat noto-
rious. | consider it due to myself, my
friends, and to the party of which / am
humble member, that publicity should
be given to your assumption that execu-
tive patronage is simply trading capital
in the hands Of those who, for the time
being, control it. Awaiting with seren-
ity the action Of the board, arm
Respectfully,

THE Wilson bill reduces the tariff on
diamonds to Is per cent. This reduction
is soley for the benefit OF the poor class
es of the United States who could not
afford to wear the glittering gems under
the high duty placed on them by the
Mckinley bill. Who will now assert
that the democratic party is not the
friend of the poor and lowly?

Patsy Cummings, who has an extensive
acquaintance with the police. spent New
Years day in the city Jail. He 10 sus-
pected OF stealing pair of shoes. Patsy
was arrested just before IL o'clock Satur-
day night. and consequently enjoys the
distinction of being the last man arrested
in 1898. IL is Al interesting coincidence
that he vas the first man arrested by the
police last year. A; O'Clock in the morn
ing of January /, 1898. he was put in iail
on a charge of petty larceny; thus Patsy
begins the new year as he closed the old
