Coxey doubtless, thought he had as
much right as Cleveland to give the
country an "object lesson Fortu-
nately his power being less than Groy-

The propriaty Of 2bolishing the fee
system and substituting official salaries
is good subject for discussion by the
different political clubs in the state
during the present campaign. The
question will come before the people
sooner Or later, and the sooner it is
discussed the better prepared the PEG
pie will be to act upon it.-LeWlSton

McConnell's senatorial jig is up, He
is virtually knocked out by his own
party. The action taken by the Repub-
lican state central committee in asking
the state convention to name q United
State senator, cooks the governors
goose in that direction. It was pretty
play by the Sweet men. The governor
must now accept denomination Or De
left out of politics entirely.-MoscoW

On this people that is unWarranted in
the light of existing facts. We have
no hesitancy in saying that there are
more civil government classes eStaD
ished among the Mormon people, in
which they are taught concerning the
organization and workings Of this
grand republic. than among the same
number of people in any other part Of
this cOuntry.-Paris Post.
So far as 'reviving the old Mormon
question is concerned the Post has no
idea that this can ever be done; but if
an attempt in this direction should
ever be made, we serve notice now that
the pOpulist party will be held response

their arms and surrendered to the gov

and inhuman, but it is un-American

The fOreSighters among the pOpu
lists of Idaho, those of them who are in
it for Office alone and are bright
enough to see the shadows cast by COM
ing events, will be making sweet over
lures of coalition to the democracy
long before the ideS of November 1t
will at first be done on the sly, and
then as election day approaches it will
be openly and finally swell into earnest
and pathetic imploratiOn. Stick pin

Breckenridge donned sack cloth and
ashes, took his hymn book, went to
church, confessed his sins, and while
the sca]ding tears of penitence rolled
down his well worn cheeks, the choir
sang with tender pathOs, "Wash me
and l shall be whittier than snow" The
preacher patted "Willie" on the back,
told him to cease weeping and be a
good boy, and never, never, never, do
such naughty things again. Willie
crossed his heart and said he wouldn't, |
hoped he would die if he did. Right |
then the weary wanderer from the |
shepherds fold was granted absolution,
and taken back into the protecting |
arms of the church. There was great |!
JOY in heaven over sinner saved. Oh, |

stead he discovered the long lost |

In every land where men have di
vided into occupations the success of
agriculture measures the extent to
which other industries can subsist.
The return from agriculture furnishes
the scale by which wages and incomes
are everywhere else limited. Employ
ers may cut wages when they have
power. Trades unions may increase
wages when they are strong enough.
But the income from the farmers
labor is the general regulator. In this
country the farms are the market for
