The town lOafer is a dead weight IN
every locality. He corrupts those with
whom he comes in contact. He is not
only q nuisance to himself, but he
spreads the evil of idleness among the
youth everywhere. He often comes of
a good family, but he has never learned
that labor is always honorable and that
loafing is always disgrace. He should
be taught that "he who will not work
neither shall he eat" The luafer ought
to 90 to the rock pile.-HOpe ECana-

Mr.. Dolph of Oregon, who is very in
ferior material for federal senator,
remarked last Friday in the course of
his weary tariff talk that congress must
determine whether it will legislate in
in the interests of England, Europe
and Asia or in the interests of the peO-
pie of this country. That is very true,
and Mr.. Dolph ought to have been
guided by his own doctrine during the
extra session. He fought silver at
every turn and voted first and last with
the goldbugs, making himself the
plant tool of the foreign bankers at
whose dictation Mr.. Dolph and his re-
publican associates have been dishOn-
oring silver these many years.-North

Coxey, to all appearances, is posing
as a modern Jack Cade-that histOr-
ical character was the leader of an
army that marched on London in the
year 1880 Cade complained that the
people were robbed of their goods, that
mean and corrupt persons, who plum:
dered and oppressed the commons filled
the high offices at court, that misgovern-
ment had banished justice and pros
perity from the land and drove the
people to the verge of starvation. Cade.
the man of Kent, had but few followers
at first, but recruits JONES from time
to time and when he reached the vi
cinity of London he had fully 10000
men. Coxey is evidently an imitator
of Cade and he makes Washington his
objective point. He will find on reach
ing there that the Democrats are in the
majority, but as they have been wrang-
ling for more than year, it can hardly
be expected that they can unite suf-
ficiently to give any heed to C0xey

We do not believe there will be any
clashing between Sweet and Mcconnell
for the senate, in the republican party
There is no need of it. The party
should steer clear of all such twaddle
If Mcconnell enters the race for re-
election as governor he will not care to
enter into senatorial fight. Anti

very best man should be elected to the
legislature, regardless of whether he is
a Sweet man or a Mcconnell man. The
legislature should be composed of the
best material, then we say let the dem

and let them be elected. It is time
that Idaho had good wholesome law!
