The campaign has been, perhaps,

The campaign has been, perhaps,
most momentous in its being the
first in our nations history in
which one social class was aligned
against another.
Sectional disunion was after all
but a geographical sentiment; the
country has outgrown it and won
ders now that bitterness could ever
have been taken so seriously. But
class disunion, based on the endur-
ing presence Of the poor in the
body polite, is infinitely more
ominous.
Whan the masses of wage earn
ers are told by a great political
party that they are distinct class,
and that as class they should be
hostile to those who have strug-
gled up to an easier position, we
hear the words that may prove
more destructive to modern civil
walton than the Vandal assaults
which overturned the ancient
civilization of Rome and swept
Europe into the Dark Ages.
Many years ago Macauley pre-
dict American ruin through uni
versal suffrage, saying that it was
only matter of time when the
poor would awake some morning
and decipe tn vote to themselves
the property of the rich.
We have always laughed at THE
famous prophecy because Macaulay
did not appreciate how in America
both rich and poor as classes are
necessarily Designating, the poor
becoming rich, the rich becoming
poor. Class wars might occur in
Europe; we have telt that they
would nevee he in American. But
the work OF Bryan and Altgeld
has been to suggest this to our
people. They have in effect said
those ancient words OF disunion,
ITO your tents, O Isrrel. illus
trated American.

George hinckley Pardoned.

George Hinckley the defaultiug dep
uty auditor of Latah county, was re.

last week. He served hut two years of a
twelve-year sentence. The Boise States

1.-The information was picked up on

Hinckley's re.ease. 1t was learned
that the board of pardons had not
been in session for almost a month,
that is. to the Knowledge Of etary
of State Garrett, who ia member of
the board; and the official act that
brought about the sudden release of
Hincley Is shrouded in mystery. Sec

In the year 1900 many keen and

Census Of all the World.

Work will soon be begun on the
new census of the world. 1t is
gigantic undertaking. This un-
paralleled labor is to be one of the
celebrations Of the advent of the
twentieth century. No century
before ours would even have
thought of attempting anything so
stupendous.
The plan was suggested at the
biennial meeting of the Internation-
al Statistical institute, recently
held at Berne, Switzerland. At the
instance of DR.. Guillaume, the di-
rector of the statistical Office of the
federal government, a committee
of distinguished statisticians, SCI
entists, travellers, and geographers
was appointed to begin the work
of collecting all the information
possible as to the best methods of
taking this world census, and to
report to the institute at the meet
ing next year.
The first step in this important
committees labor was to enlist the
interest and aid of Ii Hung Chang.
They secured the promise of his in
fluence in China. In no nation
will the work of census taking be
more difficult than in China,
where the people are as the sands
of the sea.
Anything approximating an ac-
ourate census of The population of
the earth at the present time is
without doubt an imyossibility.
In addition to the poles, there are
many spots on earth that have
lever be Ell visited by the explorer
and others from which a census
enumerator would never get away
alive.
The population of the earth is
now estimated at 100, 900 900.
These figures are given by Profs.
Benin and Wagner, Of the Univer-
sity OF Gottingen, and their esti-
mates are based upon the best in
formation. Yet both frankly ac-
knowledge that they have had to
fill up many of their columns with
nothing better than guesses-gues-
ses founded upon the observations
of travellers, and upon other CUES
es mentioned in treaties given by
such countries as China, Persia,
Arabia, Turkey.
In China, for instance, they
state that their hgu,es may be
200. ooo, 900 more or less than the
actual number of people. In
Africa they may be some 10000
900 astray, and in Asiatic Turkey,
Persia, Ram and Afghanistan the
figures are probably equally un-

Senatorial Fight.

1t is now confidently believed by
friends of Senator Dubois that he will
be reelected by the legislature which
meets in January. Such possibility IS
admitted by his political opponents.
A week ago it seemed that the plan ar.
rived at last August to have Idaho rep
resented in the upper branch of congress
by a.populist would certainly be con-
summated. The democrat populist fu-
sion ticket was then conceded forty
one members of the legislature, five
more than necessary to elect. 1t now
develops that but thirty -One intend to
vote fer POI ul,st for United States
senator, and some of them openly ex-
press preference of Dubois. The popu-
list county convention in Custer in
structed for Dubois. BY this they save
one man on the ticket, McCarty. He
is now an avowed supporter of Dubois.
When an example like this is given, II
can not be expected that democratic
members of the legislature will live up
to an agreement which all fair-minded
men. have since heen inclined to admit
was mistake. Dubois goes into the
race with twenty-eight silver republi.
can votes on the first ballot. Assurance
has been given that the other necessary
votes will be forthcoming.-Salt Lake

Political gossips say that Governor

bee buzzing in his ear. Speaking of

recognized leader of populsm IN the
state. If Claggett. Cooper or some 9TH
er equally able popu)ist should be elect.
ed senator, Captain Gum would suffer
eclipse. On the other hand, if Steun-
enberg should be elected, that would
make the poDulist lieutenant governor,
governor, and virtually place the state
administration completely under pop
ulist control with Gum in the popular
branch of congress. Under such con-
ditiOns Gum would unquestionably be
the dominating political personality In
the populist party, and could leisurely
and in detail kill off his dangerous riv-
ais. Two years herce he would stand
tor reelection and in four years would
be the logical candidate for Senator
Shoup's seat in the upper house. 1t Is
therefore not Improbable that Gum
and Steunenberg have a thorough I'M
derstauding aud will work together to
the end that the one may become chief
of the populists and the other United
States Senator"
