William Henry Theodore Dur
rant, was sentenced TO be hanged
last Friday, between sunrise and
noon, but, at the eleventh hour he
was given s respite OF 60 days. His
case has been dragging along in all
of the California courts since 1895,
by the unlimited use of money.
But then we will soon hear the last
of the case, as the prisoner will
soon die of old age.

Mr.. Black says there is an urgent
demand on the part of the people
of Bliss and Shoshone for dormi-
tories for the young ladies and
gentlemen from abroad. In fact
he found people who would have
patronIzed the Normal school this
fall had the facilities for board been
under the direct control of the
members of the faculty or of some
other person who is responsible for
the study hours of the pupils and
their department outside of school
hours -Albion Tines.
Now Brother Steunenberg has no
doubt been "misinformed." There
is no such need whatever, at Bliss.
Jim Fuller lives there and has nice
home, but the other residents may
sleep in haystacks for aught we
know. AS to Shoshone there has
never been a demand for "dormi.
tories for young ladies and gentle
men from abroad" as we have lots
of good hotels and plenty of private
residences for their accommodation. |
Bro. Steunenberg should follow the |
advice of THE JOURNAL, and use his
best efforts to have the Albion Nor
NAL converted into a lunatic asylum
or a reform school, and then have
the state build a Normal school at
where there is railroad,
ample accommodations, good society
and within the limits of civilization.

In plaintive accent, our esteemed
contemporary, the Record, adjures
thusly: "Will somebody rise and
explain why it is that capital is
apparently so chary about making
investments in Idaho" Can it be
possible that the Record is back
sliding2 Capital does not come to
Idaho because the people hate CAPT
tai. Capital is wicked, grinding
monster. 1t puts its foot upon
the neck of the common people
and brushes the life out of them.
Capital is a goldbug; capital is
banker, corporation, aye, an octo
pus. Would the Record have Ida
no become prey to this diabolical
agency? What good would capital
do anyway? Would it add any
thing to the states prosperity?
Not on your life. 16 to 1 is the
only infallible remedy, the only
true elixir. Besides, there is only
one legitimate channel through
which prosperity can come, If it
attempts to force itself through |
channels ii must be |

prosperity without free coinage?
Who who would accept it at the
price of eternal disgrace to the white

he Record should do is hurl ane-
hemas against capital; it should

Tampa, Fla. Feb. 1S.-Probably no
town in the United States has been so
severely affected by the Cuban war as
Tampa, whose cigar industry has been to
certain extent injured by the serious in
roads made by Weyler and his merry
men upon the agricultural interests of the
island. Nevertheless, the town has more
than held It's own; many of the unemploy-
ed, who have since the great freeze. flock
ed here from all sections of the state,
have left the city and many more have
found employment. The building trades
show decided indications of improvement;
and, whatever may be the outcome of the
Cuban revolution, the worst is believed
to be over, so far as Tampa and her great
industry is concerned.
While many of the cigar factories are
running only on half time, and while some
of the smaller concerns will probably find
1t difficult to replenish their stocks of Gu
ban leaf, the general outlook is far from
unfavorable. Some statistics recently col
lected from the leading factories are dis
tncty favorable.

HOPKINS TO SIT IN THE HOUSE.
KENDALL OF THE TENTH KEN
TUCKY DISTRICT UNsEATED,

The Decision of the Committee ON
Elections Reversed For the FIRST
Time This Session ON a Direct Is
sue of Fact-Thc Decision Turned
on n Fraudulent substitution of
the Republican Emblem on tho
Ballots Used at the Election.
Washington, Feb. 18-In the contested
case Of Hopkins, rep, VS.. Kendall, DEM.
from the Tenth Kentucky district the
House to-day for the first time this session,
on a direct issue of fact, reversed the de-
cision of its committee on elections, and
seated a contestant whom the committee
had declared not elected. The case turn
ed upon the action of the county clerk OF
Clark county, Kentucky, who without
proper authority had substituted what was
called in the debate IAN odious thievinR
coon" on the official ballots in place of the
cage, the chosen emblem of the republ-
can party of kentucky. It was admitted
by the committee that IL was a "transpa-
rent fraud" and that it was done with in
tent to deceive but it was contended that
the number of colored votes lost In this
manner was not enough to overcome the
sitting members majority of 253 over his
contestant. The minority report contend
ed that fraud vitiated everything and
that the entire vote of the county must be
thrown out. After an exceedingly ami
mated discussion, the House sustained this
view by vote Of 1877 to 81. On the only
previous occasion in this congress, where
the elections committee received a set
back, William II. Moody of Massachu-
setts, who led the forlorn hope in to-
days debate in support of the majority
report, was the successful assailant. He
made a minority report of one in the case
of Rinaker VS.. Downing from the First
Illinois district. not in favor of seating
Rlnaker, but Of having a recount of the
vote. In this the House sustained him,
and on a recount Rinaker was seated In
the division to-day, of the ten republicans
who voted 10 sustain the majority of tho
committee, three were from Massachu-
sets, which led Mr.. Hardy, rep, of In
diana, to. remark that Massachusetts
had slobbered over too much" an in
suit to Massachusetts which Mr.. Moody
Indignantly resented.
The rest of the session was given up to
the passage of bills by consent, which led
the leaders to consent to a speedy ad-
joGrnment, and at 4:30 o'clock the House
adjourned till tomorrow.
The general deficiency bill was reported
to the House from the committee on ap-
propriations with notice that IL would
be called up tomorrow. The bill carries
an appropriation of IS, 43S93. Among the
items in the bill are the following; To en-

Rather an odd runaway occurred yester-
daV afternoon on West Broad street, near
the Central passenger depot Two ne
gro women were driving in a two-wheeled
cart, which colhded with a heavier wag-
on, the wheels of the two vehicles becom-
ing locked. The steed of the two-wheeled
cart became nettled by the sudden re-
straint and giving a strong tug, he freed
himself. AS he jerked the traces loose
the shafts dropped down and the occu-
pants of the cart were left sitting and
staring at the horse, that went few
yards up the street and waited to be
caught.
A well dressed white woman, who was
visibly and hilariously intoxicated, at
tracted considerable attention on Brough-
ton street yesterday afternoon. The wo-
man was well dressed and had the ap-
pearance of refinement. She was evident
ly a foreigner, with but little English at
her command, but she articulated furious
ly with what she had, supplementing it
with some other lingo. She entered sew
eral stores on Broughton street, and made
things somewhat unpleasant for clerks
and proprietors, who hardly knew how to
treat a drunken woman. They did not
care to have her arrested so long as she
did not become boisterous, and attempt
to kick up high jinks, but they were very
much annoyed by her.

was confined in the jail, she raved for
snuff almost all the while. Tuesday

female prisoners up, and no one knew that
she was in danger until her screams
aroused the other prisoners, who put the
flames out, but not before she had been
fatally burned.
