THE Right Honorable Corporation De,
stroying JONES, representing in the
Idaho legislature 10000 hyperborean
people, is the man to redeem this Popo-
cratic state. When the railroad bill
was up the other day and the enemies
of the common people were wickedly
and feloniously seeking to smite it hip
and thigh without even the formality
Of hearing, the floodgates of Hon.
JONES wrath histed and the deIuge
came. He dashed and belabored rail-
roads and corporations with a voice of
thunder and Delsarte emotion. No
matter, said he, what a railroad does
do. No matter what it does not do.
1t is wicked 1t is bad per sci 1t is a
part Of the money power. 1t is an en-
blem Of plutOcracy. What doth it
profit, said he, If they employ our labor
ers, pay our taxes, develop our state and
educate our ChildrenP What do we
want of laborers and taxes and deyeI-
opment and education anyhow These
railroads are managed by corporations
and corporations are monstrous evils.
JONES is an institution all by himself.
Long may he wave.

FIGURES AND ETHICS.

With Commendable feeling our neigh
Dor down the street has fastened to
the defense of the county commission
ers. This docs great credit to its heart
without, let us sincerely hope, convey
ing any shock to its conscience or
understanding. The task it set for it's
self, and performed with consummate
skill, was to demonstrate mathemat-
ically to the complete satisfaction of
6000 Americans, sound of mind and
body, that ~ cents are fewer cents
than two cents. 1t required courage
Of a superior quality to boldly attempt
such a revolution in traditional methods
of calculation. but there is nothing in
facts or figures which genuine reform
hesitates to attack and demolish. 1t is
hoped the educational institutions of
the state will make haste to adopt the
reform formula, viz; 2 minus II leaves
a profitable remainder Our neighbor
also takes the advanced ground that
political reforms satisfy every reason
able expectation 80 long as they confine
themselves strictly to acts which may
be justified by extravagant and corrupt
precedent. In other words, if it can be
shown that former board of county
commissioners did an unwise or dis
honest thing, the same thing done by a
POpOcratic board is a long stride in
genuine reform. Or in other words, no
matter how incompetent or corrupt
former officials may have been, reform
officials may be equally corrupt
and incompetent without exposing
themselves to just criticism. So then
the depths of vice and folly to which
POpOcrats may laudably and honor
ably descend depends on the faulty and
wickedness of all their predecessors.
This is very original and, indeed, very
theory of reform, and we
are happy to note that it is being con-
reduced to practice by
every department of the Reform
Union.

1.-THE real democracy of the country
has clasped hands with the masses in

them the fortunes of war;, sings the
poet of the Nampa Leader. Now, that
is all right and beautiful figure, but
just turn over and read what the Pop.
uliSts say on the subject. They init
mate suspiciously that the real Dem.
ocracy has clasped hands with the devil
in war of rapine and plumber, But it
all depends on the point of view. 1t
may be that Populists are afflicted with
a jaundiced eye.

 These water powers are made to do all that coal can do, except raising a smoke. A coal bed is exhaustible, and every ton taken from it brings it nearer it's end; but the energy of water falls is inexhaustible and will be available for mans needs long after the last pound of coal is raised from the mine.
 Not the least remarkable feature of this new departure is the size of the turbines employed. One hundred horse power used to be regarded as a large amount to be given by sin gle wheel. Some of the turbines at Niagara develop fifty times as much. The next great movement may be the utilization of the tides in which there is an immense reservoir of power. We may see the day when the grat amount of water power in Alaska is brought down to a temperate region, and is more valuable than the gold under it's frozen soil.

1t Is said that Stuart, the celebrated
portrait painter, had small patience with
the fault finding Of those sitters who
preferred flattory in a portrait to an ex-
act likeness. He was not slow to speak
his mind to such patrons as DISPLAYED
this feeling.
At L tine q MAJ and wife came to
him to have their portraits painted.
The lady was q woman Of much charac-
ter, great kindness of heart and withal
possessed Of a fortune which perhaps
had helped her husband to discover and
appreciate her many virtues. but she
was extraordinarily plain in her per
sonal appearance.
When her portrait was finished, the
husband was not pleased. He wanted
some of the pcculiarities Of her face
scftened on the canvas, though in the
original nothing could be done to i'm
prove them.
Stuart, With unusual f~orbearance, did
his best to accede to his patrons wishes
and yet preserve the likeness. When he
had done all that seemed to him could
possibly bc done in honesty to his sitter,
ne sent again for the husband.
10 his disgust, the man expressed
himself as still dissatisfied with the re-
suit. At that Stuart, throwing up his
hands with G gesture Of despair, began
to pace his studio and at last broke ont
into a goliloquy.

young men have been driven into the
