Conservatism and sanity has
thus far marked the conduct of the
legislature. This is welcome and
reassnring news to those who pre-
dicted dismal forebodings of legis-
lation hostile to the interests of
capital by those who have long
recognized tho favorable opportu-
mites offered by Idaho for safe and
remunerative investments. No
section Of the continent affords q
better field in point of undeveloped
resources. The state is known to
have great fields of the precious
metals that can be easily converted
to the uses of man. The railroad
field in the state has hardly been
touched, and with the promised
reawakening of confidence at the
money centers in the stability of
Idaho laws, new lines of transpor-
tation will soon be constructed.
Good government and solid busi-
ness development are coincident.

THE AGONY Is OVER.
Henry Heidtfelt, State Senator
From Nez Perce County
Elected u. s. Senator.

From Nez Perce County
p Elected U. s. Senator. os
AS we 60 to press this (Thurs-
day. afternoon the good news
comes over the wires from Boise
that the legislature had just elect
ed Hon. Henry Heidtfelt to tho
United States senate to succeed
Fred T. Dubois. Mr.. Heidtfelt
was formerly q democrat, but
joined the populists some six years
si1ce, was elected to the legislature
two years ago, and was reelected
at the last election. His election
is eminently satisfactory to the
democratic wing of the fhsionists,
and is doubtless equally SO to the
populists. Thus the famous agree
ment made last August has been
formally ratified by the election of
a populist to the U. s. Senate.
The friends of Dubois made q gal
liant fight and deserved better
success, but even in the hour of
defeat he has more friends than
ever. and had it been left to the
popular vote he would have been
elected by an enormous majority.
Now let our solons get to work
and carry out their platform
pledges of retrenchment and re-
form in the administration of state
and county affairs.
