The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1897-09-03

Last Monday, barring a little too
much wind and good deal too much
dust, was charming day for the Sun
day School picnic, and the children all
had delightful time Of it. The super
intendent, Mr.. Archie Warren, and all
the teachers are entitled to great deal
of credit for the manner in which they
contributed to the children's pleasure
on that occasion. 1t was a fine affair.
The DeLamar Band boys got into
their new and handsome uniforms on
Monday, when they played for the Sun
day School parade and picnic and made
gaudy appearance on our streets.
They are all fine specimens of manhood
anyway, and they stepped to their own
delightful music, as fine looking lot
of men as one could see this side of the
Klondyloe. If the managers of the In
ternational Fair at Boise want an at
traction they will be wise to communi-
cate with the leader of the DeLamar
Cornet Band.
Next Monday viii be Labor Day and
the Miners Union is going to celebrate
it in fine shape. The Company will
close the mine on that day to enable
its employees to honor the day in a fit
ting manner. Would it not be good
idea for our business men to do like
wise, and by this means give their en-
pIoyees a holiday? Let DeLamar have
one day devoted to honoring Labor, re-
gar9Iess of the occupation the toilers
are engaged in. We can assure our
business men that if they act according
to our suggestion that it will be APP
preciated by every laboring man in the
camp.
The Ball given by the DeLamar
Band at the Hotel Dewey on Tues lay
night, was one Of the most enjoyable
events of the season, although, owing
to several causes, it was not rs largely
attended as it should have been. 1t,
however, marked Hotel Dewey, under
Mr.. Gartland's management, and with
Mrs. Sullivan to provide the supper, as
the place for DeLamar and Silver City
people to meet and have a great good
time. The hall, as well as the entire
hotel, is superior to anything
in the state-and all who attended the
ball were more than delighted. The
DeLamar Band is positively ahead of
any other musical organization in the
state and the concert given by
them prior to the grand march, was
most delirhtful

The progressive people of Boise have
taken hold of the Fair enterprise with
determination to make that event a
grand success, Everything possible OF
practicable will be done to make the
mining agricultural, horticultural and
livestock exhibits superior to any
heretofore seen in this inter-mountain
country, and in addition to this rae
ing program has been arranged which
will attract the lovers Of fine horses.
1t is hoped thatthe Fair viii be made
a permanent institution and that the
annual meetings will be hereafter
looked forward to by the people Of
Idaho with increasing interest.
Certainly no place in the Northwest
is more favorably situated to make Il
permanent association, such as that
now inaugurated, become most use
full institution. No place is surround
ed by country with greater or more
varied resources than the capital of
Idaho. Many industries which are
now only in their infancy and are as
yet only projected, will in the not dist
ant future interest and surprise the
world. The great agricultural and hor-
ticultural possibilities of our beautiful
valleys are rs yet only dreamed of and
our leading industry, mining, IS as no
thing, compared with its probable fu-
ture. \ well conducted annual Fair
will advance all of these interests.
We hope Owyhee county people will
not neglect TO make a showing of her
resources at this Fair.

So many of the little travelling shows
which come through the country are
such fakes, and the men mere buns or
tramps, that it is a pleasure to occa-

one is the Acme Specialties Company,

and Wednesday nights. The perform
ances gave the audience a continual
round of pleasure. The contortionist

resolved to close up their store and re.

They have kept a popular store and
have won the good will Of the town and
more than that, have been unusually

prove congenial occupation for Mr..
Shea, who has other business to occupy
his time. On the first instant they

WHEN the General Assembly of Ma

uary next there will, for the first time
in many years, b. a Republican major
ity in both branches and this party
will effect organization. On several
occasions there has been a Republican
majority i'll either House or Senate.
but never in both. This party will
practically control legislation But this
is all the better under the circumstan-
ces, as any unwise provisions or radical
departure in the laws made this win
ter, will place those responsible on the
rack of pubic sentiment. Contemplate
ing such legislation as is now deemed
likely TO be enacted iuto laws by the
General Assembly, some local and gen.
eral measures offer great chances for
the display of partisan feeling and
avidity to turn things to he advantage
of the dominant party. 1t would be
well if the Independent and sanctified
Democratic elements in this State, who
were responsible for Republican vic
tory i'll Maryland, would look into
matters in Annapolis and watch the
work as it goes on there. They should,
If they follow out consistently their
ideas of purity and reform, cry out
against the slightest irrrgularity in the
procedures at Annapolis, but will they
do it? Will they denounce all attempts
to secure questionable laws and any
prostitution of the powers conferred
upon Representatives and Senators by
the people of this noble old State? The
people may have chance to observe
the true indications of the character
and intentions of this set of modern
political evolutionists.

Fight Against Civil Service.

The enemies of Civil Service Reform
and they are legion-in the Senate of
the United States, are making an ac-
tive fight against that law. Many of
the most prominent Senators are OPP
posed to it and before the end of the
session it may be either stricken off the
statutes together, or else so amended
and alt red AS to make it carry cut the
plans and ideas of its formulaters AT
present it does not do this and even
Senators who believe in merit system
condemn it most unhesitalingly. This
feeling j. not confined to any one par
ty-Republicans, Democrats and Pop
ulists alike are its enemies The defeat
of the civil service amendment at the
polls in Maryland at the last election
has given increased weight to the OPP
position, and other sections are follow
ing with resolutions, expressions
and petitions, all against the law. The
great fight will be, in case the law
must stand, to amend that portion of
it which relates to the wholesale conf
bination of all the departments and of
fees of the government under the elias
sified list and the simk;fyng of exam-
nations in accordance with the respec-
tive duties of the position. Now they
are extremes in every way and many a
deserving applicant is turned down or
else given a practically debarring per-
centage, because some almost impos-
sible question was no, answered. This
is a government of the people and for
the people, and the people should e
given fair chance at the administra-
ton of their own affairs. If one class
OF offices are fill ed by rotation and cleo
ton, why i, the same rotation not APP
plicable. to appointive positions. This
question will come up for action
in the near future and justice and right
will surely prevail.

One of the items at the London ex-

Not satisfied with the jubilee stamps

lected for the original jubilee stamps, at
least so far as the beauty of the thing

There is increasing evidence that the

FROM THE CAPITAL.
Our Correspondent Talks in Sage
Manner of Things in General
About Washington.
communicated

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18th. 1897.
The man who would have predicted
the present condition of the Washing.
ton end of the Republican party little
more than year ago, when it had Just
elected a President and majority of
the House, would not have been given
credi, for sound judgment, even by the
bitterest enemy of that party. In fact,
it is now difficult for one not in WASH
ingtOn to believe the extent of the dis
ruption of the party. Nothing can bet
ter illustrate this than the attitude of
the Republicans in Congress towards
the recommendations made by Mr..
Mckinley's message. Not a single one
of them has the support of anywhere
near the solid Republican vote in
either branch of Congress. MIR. Nc
Kinney asked indirectly, Secretary
Gage, directly, for the retirement IF
the greenbacks, but if the Democrats
and Popnlsis refrain from voting, it is
doubtful whether bill providing there
for could pass either branch of Con-
gress. Mr.. Mckinley's Cuban policy is
constantly aud openly assailed by Re-
publiraus; he asked for the immediate
ratification of the treaty for the annex
alton of Hawaii, but not move has
been made in that direction in the
Senate, and abandonment of the treaty
is looked for; he defended the civil SER
vice law, aud one half of the Republic
can members of the House are openly
engaged in an effort to break down
that law. In fact everything is tend
ing towards restoration of the Demo-
cratic party to power, and the once
boas'ed solidity of the Republican ppr-
ty, which was for years its most noted
trait, has gone, apparently forever. ;.
The House Banking and Currency
Committee is laboring hard to produce
a financial bill, but it is only another
case of ''Much ado about nothing" as
there are about as many different opin-
ions in the Committee as there are men,
bers, and opinion is represented by a
bill framed by its owner. 1t has been
said that Carr Reed, in selecting this
committee, chose men whom he knew
would never agree on bill, and it
looks that way.
