a treaty can now be made for the open

greatly disliked Teter and would make
no treaty while he was in charge

Our secretary OF state, Geo. ]. Lewis
has added very appropriate and unique
design to our state seal. The waters
used have always been silver leaf. The
secretary has added a sixteenth part
gold leaf, SO now every time the state
seal is used it is stamped ON the genu-

Who knows. but that il railroad is
constructed into the white pine belt, a
new town will spring up at the other
end OF the line, to be known as Me-
Connellville or White Pine City? Such
things have been known to happen
before. We want railroad into that
section, but we want its benefits to ac-
crue to Moscow. Double Standard.
Those who have an idea that the
session OF the legislature just closed had

their minds when they read the record.

The leaders of the senate are preparing
to discipline Vice President Hobert be-
cause Of his statement that he was ready
to cooperate in any plan to facilitate
disposition of business. Ii the vice
president wishes to make himself pOpu-
lar throughout the country he has only
to take up the gage Of battle and be pre-
siding officer in fact as well US in name.

A war between Greece and Turkey
would be the beginning OF the end OF the
eastern question, or of the Ottoman EN-
pire in Europe. Turkey and the powers
know this as well as Greece, and hence
there is hesitation. 1t is not the island
OF Crete that is in the scale, but the
peace OF Europe, and the most trivial
indiscretion may turn the scale. The
easiest way out of the trouble is to annex
Crete to Greece, and In the end the
powers will probably take the easiest
way out.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
with all the rabbit drives and shoots
and those killed by ranchers' boys it is
estimated that not less than 10000 rab-
bits have been killed within the limits
OF Bingham county during the present
winter. The bounty Of 2is cents per
scalp has stimulated the slaughter to
certain extent. K. White has bought
10000 scalps which he has sent to the
auditor to be counted. Notwithstand-
ing the slaughter a person driving
few miles out of town would think there
was flock Of them under every sage
brush.-Idaho Falls Register.
1t seems incredible that an intelligent
community, like the people OF Elmore
county, should elect such a man as
JONES as their representative in legis-
lative body. OF course he is a populist
and so is Perkins and so is Fuller-all
fair representatives OF the populist
party. And yet this party sets itself up
as the party OF reform. The whole pro-
ceedings is n disgrace to the state, but it
is some consolation to know that no
democrat or republican is mixed up in
it. The people of Idaho have had
sample OF reform under populism and it
is hoped they are .-Shoshone

The most remarkable legislative de-
velopment OF the winter is charge
made in the Utah senate by one Of the
popuhst m-mbers to the effect that
the Rio Grande Western Railroad
company had endeayored to influence
his vote by refusing to issIe him passes
for relatives. The member stated be
had applied for the passes, and he
seemed to be laboring under the i'm
preston that the company was obi
gated to comply with his request.
When lie was asked by the representa-
tive Of the road Why he claimed the
passes, he said it was because he was
member Of the legislature. 1t would be
interesting to have an Investigation to
determine whether or not he songht to
levy tribute upon any other lines OF
business by virtue OF his membership
in the legislative assembIy.-Boise

1t is possible that another day will
witness the navies OF the powers block
aiding the ports Of Greece, and it is not
impossible that still more stringent
measures viii be employed to compel
the Greeks to submit, but the situation
is fraught with almost as much danger
to the cowardly governments that are
interfering for the purpose Of protecting
imaginary interests OF their own as it is
to the people Of King George. The peo-
pie Of England and many OF those Of
other countries are incensed at the &C.
tion Of the allied governments, and they
will not tolerate severe neasures- The
