IdaI o's Senatorship.

One of the staunchest and abiest dem
ocratic papers in the country is the
Anaconda Standard with its brilliant
editorials. In its issue of January Sd
it has the following pointed article
about Dubois. We respectfully ask the
Democratic members of the legislature
to read and consider it:
"If the promotion of silver's interest
outranked the selfish personal ambi-
ton of some of the men who figure in
Idaho politics, Mr.. Dubois would be
elected on the run. The opposition to
him that is of account comes from men
who have not been loyal to the cause
of free coinage and who seek to profit
by the fact that Senator Dubois cut
loose from party affiliations for the
sake of serving his own state in way
that was of the highest possible value
to its citizens. Failure on the part of
Idaho to recognize this service would be
contemplate.
On this score, Montana sci an exam
pie which the legislature of Idaho may
wisely follow-if there is any sincerity
in the professions of Idahos people re-
specting the silver question. Montana's
representative in congress was loyal to
silver, as Senator Dubois was. At the
election, as with one accord, the people
of Montana returned Mr.. Hartman to
the house of representatives. He did
not have to make u canvass he was
not in the state during the campaign
his canvass made itself the puny op-
position to him made itself conspicu-
ously ridiculous by its impotency.
That is the style of treatment which
Idaho ought to accord Mr.. Dubois, yet
several of the politicians there have SO
manipulated things as to compel him to
make fight, whereas his election ought
to be brilliant vindication voluntarily
voted by the legislature at Boise. The
shame of it is that the election of Sen
ator Dubois, as matters S and to-day,
is no sure thing."--Idaho Democrat.

with an unusually good New Years
number. 1t is especially strong in story
features. A new serial, Cracks End"
by Hayden Carruth, describes the ad-
ventures Of boy who was the only in
habitant of little Dakota town all one
winter "Lon's Triumph" is an absorb
ing and sympathetic tale of school life,
by Mary B. Downs; "Her Majesty's
Feather Bed" by Annie Hamilton Don
nell, sers forth the good sense with
which bright New England girl turned
an embarrassing situation to her own
advantage "Afoat on Ice in Lake Su-
perior" is a situation pleasanter to read
about than to experience. c. j. Stone
is the author. In addition to the tic
ton, Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
gives the readers of the Companion an
entertaining and instructive glimpse of
''rhe Daily Life of Senator" The pa
per is brimful of good advice, useful in
formation and amusing anecdote. 1t is
astonishing that paper containing
such excellent matter, written by men
and women whose work commands such
high prices, can be sold for s1.75 year.
But this is the real explanation of its
enormous circulation. The New Years
edition is 650,000 copies.

How would it do for Major McKin-
ley, when he becomes President,to turn
the Cuban affair over to the State of
Texas by making the Governor of that
state paramount commissioner, la
President Cleveland's Hiwaiin Blount,
and give him instructions to settle mat
ters between Cuba and Spain without
troubling the other states of the Union?
The Secretary of War might lend this
paramount commissioner the battle
ship Texas, and the revenue cutter
which, for the past four years, has been
in commission to transport President
Cleveland to duck shooting and fishing
grounds. and the Governor of the Lone
Star State could do the rest, and do it
SO well that General Weyler and all the
Spanish dons and diplomats, including
the Infanta and the Duks of Perugua,
would be entirely satisfied-or
Squelched.
The Governor of Texas would GER
tainly not have to go outside of his own
state for men to turn down the whole
Spanish army, unless it would be to
employ few anti-tollgate men from
Kentucky to pull down the Trocha.
His rangers-who occasionally burn
nigger to keep their hands in-coul
stand off Butcher Weyler on some of
his strongest points. This paramount
would not even have to
call out the $1,000 majority against the
gold-bug candidate for the presidency,
to make up his Cuban army, but could
hold every one of that $4,000 gallant
men in reserve, you know.
We do not charge the president-elect
for these timely and valuable
except this request that,
when acted upon, he will say kind
word to his paramount commissioner,
when appointed, suggesting that he
make Ex-Governor McConnell,o of Idaho,
his principal aide and advisor.
