NO. OBLIGATION.

It is not apparent that Mr. j..
Willis Sweet has any superior
claim on the Republicans Of Ida
ho. Last summer he was quite
willing to sacrifice the whole
party to advance his private am
bitiop. The people cheerf,lly
profered to maintain him in his
position as representative, out he
scorped their generosity as though
it were an afront to his accom-
plishments; yet. in four years Of
services, it is not recalled that he
distinguished himself, by any sig
nal display Of ability, above hun
dreds who deem it a high honor
to represent a congressional dis
trict. No one will seriously
think that Mr.. Sweet desires to
go to the senate for the public
good; no one will be deceived by
the notion that he can do anything
there which he might not have
accomplished in the house.
Then, in SO far as the people of
Idaho are concerned, what par
tioular obligations are they under
to Mr.. Sweet, 1t is well that
people should understand and ap-
preciate their true relations to am
bilious individuals, and not be
misled by imaginary Obligations.
Mr.. Sweet has no claim on the
people of the state or the Repub-
ican party beyond that to which
he Is entitled BY reason Of supe-
rior ability and patriotism and
there is nothing in the record
which points conclusively to the
fact that his requirements are out
Of all proportion to a place in. the
national house of representatives.
Mr.. Sweet might have continued.
to associate for some time yet
with Bland, Crisp, Reed and men
of that class without impairment
Of reputation. Or serious abasement
of rank. This is simply intend
ed to show that Mr.. Sweet 8 am,
bition is not perplexed by any i'm
pertinent considerations Of public
duty and, therefore, the people
need nat trouble themselves with
a sense Of obligation which does
not exist. II Mr.. Sweet is tho
hest ,aad most available man,
eleet him if aos.ssllssst ,aagae ane
else. 1 We tirmlyE,and, sincerely
believea thapgh. that there arg
men in Idaho more capahls Of full
filing the office of United States
States Senator and in that cate
sery We include Senator Shoup
and Judge w. B. Hepburn.

GOING. GOING, GONE!

Prior to the election, we were
told b. Republicans of the DU-
Bols-S tEBr school that Governor
McCu:. 1ELL was a heavy load to
carry; that despite all that could
be do,ie, he would fall a thousand
to Twelve hundred behind the
head of the ticket. So anxious
were majority Of the campaign
as, that they could not work
themselves up to saying a single
word favorable to the state ad-
nninistration. Their depression
Of spirit was really pathetic; their
evasion of the subject truly pain
full. Among politicians Of the
aforesaid stamp, the one and glar-
ing mistake of the Republican
convention was the nomination of
w. J. MCCONNELL. Yet, when
the votes were counted; when
the record OF public sentiment
was made up, when the people
spoke, hsw different the verdict!
MCCONNELL is six or seven hun
bred in advance of the head of
the the ticket. How rejoiced
the gloomy prognosticators must
he! How their hearts fibers
must culver with delight! and
bow. eternally squelched and stul-
tilted must their prophetic souls
be! The glory of some poll
6cians is gradually dissipating
like the flicker of the lost plead
aud leaving not wraek to mark
its hopeless flight.

AT THE meeting of the Repub-
lican League, in Denver, Senator
DUBOIS was reported as strongly
favoring Judge HEPBURN for the
Senatorship. Now, :.DUBo1s is
said to favor Mr.. SWEET. What
has wrought the change? Sim
ply, Judge Hepburn would not
submit to the dictation of Senator
Dubois in the scheme to take the
election of the United States Sem
ator out of the hands of the state
legislature. Senator Dubois
preferences ought not to count for
anything, because he is wholly
swayed by selfish considerations.
He realizes that by the mistake of
last August his political fortunes
have become identified with the
success ofMr. Sweet, and the de-
feat of Sweet this winter imperils
the success of Dubois in 1896.
There is not the slightest objec-
ton to Senator Dubois artifice,
but the public may just as well
understand his motives. He does
not favor Mr.. Sweet or Mr.. any
body else, in the public interest,
but purely as measure to secure
Mr.. Dubois in the peaceable and
uninterrupted possession Of his
iub.

ABILITY NOT GEOGRAPHY.

| Without questioning the right
Of any citizen, residing in thai
portion of the state vaguely de-
nominated North Idaho, to be. a
candidate for the United States
Senate, should the mere fact oil
habitat be the essential and supe-
rior qualification? As we UNDER
stand it, the state of idaho IS a
compact and united body-pohtic
and while there may be diversity
of interests, there can not be an
tagonisms, What industry or
product has north Idaho which
south Idaho has not? What ia
terest is peculiar to a portion Of
this state north of an imaginary
line? Upon what subject might
legislation operate adversely to
to one section and beneicially to
another? We believe that this
sectional feeling, because it is
nothing but fet ling, should not
be considered in connection with
the selection Of public officers,
state or natioual. What is want
ed to administer government is
the best men and it makes no diff
ference what corner of the state
they come from. If the best
man lives in north Idaho, trot him
out on his merits and not on his
geography. 1t is the province of
a United States Senator to regard
the interests of the whole United
States first, and incidentally repre-
sent those of his own state, if his
mental horizon be so cireumscrib-
ed that he can not see beyond the
confines of particular section of
one state, his vision is too limited
to answer the requirements.

Feldtmann says that slverman eloped
with his daughter after having made
an unsuccessful attempt to swindle him
with the gold brick" game.
THE first I saw OF this man was two
months ago" says Feldtmann. HE
called at my house and said a friend of
mine had sent him. Then he told me
that he wanted to sell me a gold brick
below cost. He told such a pretty story
that | believed him at first. and for
several days we dickered over the price.
Finally a jeweller l know told me was
being played for greenhorn. and
told the fellow never to come near my
house again.
During the time he had been calling,
however, he had met my daughter, Lena
and the two got to be very good
friends. After I had ordered him away
Lena would slip out of the house nights
to see him and neither entreaties nor
whippings had any effect on her.

from her home. and have not seen her
since. ] have reason TO believe. how
