A few weeks ago placed myself under
DR.. Darrin's treatment in Boise. At

Through his skillful treatmentmy eyes

Chickens Come Home to Roost.

Governor Mcconnell is now intimat-
ing that Captain Wells has not come
up squarely in settlement of accounts
as Worlds Fair Commissioner, and
Captain Wells comes back at him in
/ long communication in the Payette
Independent, showing that the dispo-
sition OF certain sum Of money over
which the controversy started had the
approval Of the Governor and Board of
Examiners, and winds up as follows

of sycophants and time-servers, ready
to do my bidding, whatever that may
be- | cannot use the telegraph wires
at the expense of the State to give more
rapid and wider circulation to my full
limitations; nor have the means OF sub
sidizing newspapers at home or abroad.
But unequal as the contest may seem
to be there are two things largely in my
favor, and entirely beyond the reach of
the Governor. | heve just cause and
tolerably good character to begin

ended, if I mistake not, his excellency
Will find there are blows to take as well
as blows to give, and | commend him TO
a careful husbandry of his resources"
The above will be interesting to
good many people in Idaho who re-
member that Captain j. R. DeLamar
was the first appointee as Worlds Fair
Commissioner and that he went to
work with zeal characteristic of him,
spending not the state appropriation
but his own private means to promote
the interests of Idaho. But a certain
clique, of whom Governor Mcconnell
and Captain Wells we're leaders, so
hampered Captain DeLamar in his eff
forts to promote the interest of Idaho,
and kept making such mean insinua
tions about him that he did just what
they wanted him to got disgusted and
resigned. The gang wanted the posi-
ton for Captain Wells, and he got it.
Now it is fun for US to see them "going
for each other" A liberal gentleman
was driven out of the position in which
he demanded no salary, to make place
for political pet. Property loaned for
the Idaho exhibit disappeared and the
owners have not been paid. The legis-
lature, during the exposition, was called
upon for an additional appropriation,
and the last legislature to appropriate
money to settle differences. The NUG-
GET predicted all these things.

Republican Candidates for the Pres
idential nomination we're never more
plentiful. Among them all Mckinley
is certainly in the lead. The Republi-
cans now appear to consider the nom
nation at st. Louis equivalent to an ell
ection and the goldbugs will be there
in full force to form a sound money
platform. After the money power have
set up things to suit themselves, is
there not still chance for the toilers
and producers coming in with some
thing to say at the polls?

No Room for Doubt.

When the facts are before you, you
must be convinced.
The facts are that the Union Pacific
is leading all competitors, is the ac-
knowledged dining car route, and great
through car line of the west.
The line via Denver and Kansas City
to Chicago in connection with the Chi
cago & Alton Railroad, with its excell-
ent equipment of Free Reclining Chair
Cars, Pullman Palace Sleepers and
Pullman Diners, demands the attention
of every traveller to the east.
Ask your nearest agent for tickets

The Immigration Convention.

The Immigration Convention to be
held in Boise next Thursday, will be an
important affair, if properly conducted,
At this time its work should be mainly
confined to devising means to carefully
collecting information for publication
which would show the resources of the
State concisely and comprehensively.
There are men in every county who
have public spirit enough to collect
all the data required to make, properly
edited, most useful and interesting
pamphlet which would give home
seekers the information which would
attract them to Idaho 1t is a lament
able fact that Idaho's splendid resour-
ces are less known to the outside world
than those of any like amount of ter
ritory in the United States. In fact
they are but partially comprehended
by her own best informed citizens.
There are a thousand men in the east
who can talk knowingly about Califor-
mia fruit growing where there is one
who is aware of the fact that hundreds
of our valleys excel any in California
for the production of all except citrous
fruits; there are hundreds of North
west lumbermen who know nothing of
our splendid timber lands where there
is one who knows their superiority to
anything in the Northwest. Miners
who can tell you all about the great
camps Of Colorado or Montana, know
almost nothing of Idaho's great wealth
of minerals. All these things need to
be published in some form where tn ey
will be read by home-seekers.
But if, as many political editors in
Idaho are trying to make our people
believe it will be-the convention will
be turned into a sort of political bear
garden-it might as well never be held.

Mr.. Carlisle is to be President Cleve-
lands political legatee and that the in
huence of the administration is to be
used to secure his nomination at the
Chicago convention. Mr.. Carlisle

people if he could stand on his silver

which is carried east to Mary's river,

Crossing Mary's river, between it and
Bear Creek, is camp of Swedes, who

At camp No. 3, from Bear Creek to
Minniker's, 140 men are at work on 1 K
miles, making cuts and fills.
The whole line from Tongue Point
to camp No. 3 presents an animated
scene. There are over 600 men at work
with "a construction cars, and Is
dump cars, and other apparatus. The
men are all in good health, Corey Bros
having secured DR.. Jay Tuttle as phys
ician at the railroad hospital.
There is about IL miles of the ten
mile contract that has not been touched
but it is of that character that can be
easily handled and quickly finished.
Mr.. Corey says that the work will be
completed and ready to turn over to

The rails that will be laid on the As
toria and Columbia River Railroad will
be the heaviest to be found on any line
in the Northwest. They are of Bes-
semer steel. and weigh rs pounds to the
yard. This kind of rail placed upon
the best grade which Contractor Corey
has ever built in the West, viii permit
a high rate of speed and hard usage,
and passengers leaving Portland for
the sea side will make better time than
on any railroad in Oregon The boats
will have a hard competitor even at
cheaper rates, for persons coming down
the river will prefer couple hours
ride at double fare to an all-night ride
at low fare.
The steel rails are now en- route to
Astoria from England in three large
sailing vessels. There are 10000 tons.
On January 81, the English ship Bren-
hida, 1921 tons, sailed from Maryport,
and the English ship Fulwood, 211S
tons, sailed from Grimsby for this city.
Both have cargoes of steel rails for the
Astoria-G Globe railway.
The expenditure already made on
the Astoria road is more than half
million dollars, and as the weather i'm
proves more contracts VIII be let and
more men put to work
Those who read the above facts and
figures should not be long in clearing
their minds of doubt about the con
tinuance of work upon the Astoria rail
road. 1t has taken long time to sat
isfy intending investors that the in
fuence of Portland, the Sound and the
lines could be over
come, but such is the case; and as the
looks now the day Of Astoria's
enlargement and prosperity is at hand.

Spanish antipathv against the United
States, resulting from the agitation Of
the question Of the recognition of the
Cubans as beligerents, as indicated by
late dispatches, is being intensified. an
angry feeling against America becoming
more noticeable among all classes. The
Spanish government has taken the
position that UncltlSa :is an ldler in
Spanish affairs without color Of cause,
and that in case Of further interference
q war will result in which Spain with
her warning hosts aided by an expected
allied power, will mop the green earth
and briny seas with the great republic,
and quickly blot ont of material exist
ence the starry banner which now
so proudly floats in every hole and
corner of earth's domain. Uncle Sam
must keep his hands off Cuba, and his
nose out OF Cuban affairs. or submit to
a course Of cbastisement, which, ifthers
10 anything In Spanish threats will put
an eternal quietus upon his rat!onai
history, wind up his mortal affairs, and
sink his defunct anatomy into the dark
est realms Of eternal oblivion. The
situation is perlous in the extreme, and
causes cold and discomforting chills to
crawl up the small Of our back, in its
casual contemplation. Notwithstanding
the awful fate awaiting the action Of
congress IN the matter OF declaring that
a state Of war exists in Cuba. it would
not be surprising if such declaration

national snnihilation will grow smaller

suit, after all, may be that we may be
spared to elect a republican president,
after which it is superfluous to say, the
