DENOUNCED AS HIGH-HANDED,
Idaho Democrats Indignant at Inter
ference in the Senntorsbip Fight.


BOISE, Idaho, January 26-In response
TO dispatch from Chairman Jones of the
national democratic committee, sixteen of
the eighteen democratic members of the
legislature have signed dispatch to Mr.
Jones, which says:
We denounce the arbitrary interference
by federal authorities in local affairs as
violation of the Constitution of the United
States, and a crime against free institu-
tions.
The democratic party having been rati-
fed by an overwhelming majority at the
polls, the adoption of your suggestion to
support MIR. Dubois would stutify our party
and forever damn in the estimation of our
constituents every democrat elected by the
majority in the Idaho legislature.
The action of Secretary Walsh in seek
Ing to set aside the entire machinery of
our state organization, before the cam
paign and now, is most high-handed, un-
warranted proceeding, and unparalleled in
the history of American politics.

His Probable Successor.

Although 1t may be somewhat prema-
ture to hazard a prediction as to who will
succeed him as chief of engineers, it is
generally accepted in army circles that the
choice lies between Col. Henry NJ. Robert,
division engineer of the northwest divls-
len, with station at New York, and Col.
John NJ. Wilson, division engineer Of the
northeast division, and in charge of public
buildings and grounds in the District of
Columbia, with the chances strongly in
favor of the latter. Both these officers are
we'll known in Washington through their
services here. Col Robert was formerly
Engineer Commissioner of the District.
They are the ranking officers in the En-
gineer Corps in the order named, and both
have four years of active service ahead of
them Col. Robert retireS in May 1901
and Col Wilson in October of the same
year. Col. Wilson is Washington boy
born and bred. and is generally believed to
be the Presidents choice for the appoint
ment. Col. George s. Gillespie, who stands
No. in the corps, is said to be for
midable competitor for the appointment.
He has been stationed in New York city
for many years, and has strcng backing in
that quarter, not the least of which is the
Secretary of War The appointment will
probably be made next week, within a few
days after the retirement of Gen. Craig

Talbotton for second trial before
Judge Hart. His attorneys plead
for a continuance on tho ground
that his leading attorney, J. H.
Worrill, was sick and only three of
their forty.Odd witnesses were pres.
ent. The case was continued and
the officers started to the nearest
railroad station, Waverly Hall, to
carry DR.. Ryder back to Jail at Co

him to tree. Evidently the peo-
pie of Talbot county wouldn't brook
delay any longer. Lynching seems
to be on the increase in this coun-
try.
The frequency of MODS taking the

The few Seminole Indians in
Florida have not lost much of their
savage natures, although living in
close contact with civilization. A
few days ago q brave, named Tiger
Cat, stole the chiefs wife and
eloped with her. The guilty pair
were caught, and, after being strip,
ped, were tied to stakes at the south
end of Little 'Gstor Key, and dog
placed between them for the pur.
pose of attracting the attention Of
the alligators. Along in the eve
ming the savage sarrians began to
crawl out Of the water, and the dog
was attacked and devoured in short
order, and as soon as they had fin
ished with it the man and woman
were attacked and their limbs torn
from them by the swapping and
snarling monsters in their wild
struggle with each other for a share
of the feast. While this was goirfq
on, and the helpless creatures we're
rending the air with their shrieks
of agony as their fech was being
torn from their bodies, the indians
witnessed the scene from a safe dis
lance and enjoyed the writings
ard fearful cries OF the two untor-
tunates for assistance.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

Times may be hard but the future
i promising. TIE time is full Of
opportunities, and they are here for
81 alike. The poor may become
rich and great if, the intrinsic quail
hcations are right.
There is every reason for people
to be cheerful and hopeful. The
Augusta Chronicle writes truly
wheL il says tina: unfortunately peo-
pie are prone to pessimism. There
are no days like the old days; there
are no times like the old times.
These sentiments are inseparable
from human nature, but the finger
of trnth Bill point to tie 10Th GEN.
fury as tie matchless vanguard of
Ieducation, progress and civilization
and ofgIorious achievements in art,
science and industry.
The evidences Of these truths are
all around US. What man, vho had
the choice, would not prefer to en-
ter upon the duties of life to-day,
rather than at any other period OF
the worlds history? Pessimism
should have no place in our vocabn-
larry. The world has not gone TO
the bad and is not going. For the
men and women of faith, OF intelli-
gence, and of character, the imme>
date future is full OF the promise Of
tul6llment. The average conditions
which surround. US will soon pass
away. We confidently believe that
the new century, which will soon
dawn upon usswill be the most won
dertul in progress and achievement
in the ages of the world.
We believe that we are living in
a great age and in a great country
and we believe that young mans
lite can count for more to-day than
it ever did before the history of the
world. We believe that this is
the best age and we know that this is
the greatest country and the best
government with which God has
ever blessed the world.
