The school authorities OF Boston have
provided nutritious lunches for the
pupils in several schools at from two TO
| ten cents. The old boys who are going
to the legislative school at Boise, and in
whose hats the senatorial bee is loudly
bnzzing, won't get off 60 cheap; but then
you see, it is square meal these fellows
are after. Lunches don't go,-Iemhi

The boys in the trenches" want the
assurance that il they rally again to the
hattie they will not be sold out as they
were in the recent campaign. Boys, We
give you that assurance; Idaho will
never again bow its head to the fusion
yoke, aud woe to the traitor that pro-
poses it. To hi With harmony when

A combination OF populists and demo
Gratis control the house of the Oregon
legislature, but cannot elect speaker.
This lt adlock delays balloting for a
senator. The democrats there have no
silver republicans to come 70 their res
cue, and ii they hal it is not at all
probable the dems would get away with
every piece Of pie as they did in this
state. The Idaho silver republicans are
an exception. in their extreme generosi-
ty, to all rules OF party tac;ics.-Idaho

That was deserved compliment paid
to Hon. II. NJ. Teller this week. lie
was reelected senator OF Colorado, re-
ceiving % out OF o. votes in the legisIa-
ture. Dubois is deserving OF the same
treatment from the Idaho legislature and
would receive it ii the peoples wishes
were carried out. Democrats, silver re-
publieans, and popuiists hereabouts want
the verchampion returned 10 carry on
the great fight. Even some Of the god
republicans say Dubois is entitled to Il

Cleveland is lar sighted. He came
out OF the Venezuelan business in
triumph and though his hesitating
policy in Cuban affairs does not meet
the approva! OF the average American
ri tiren it is possible he appreciates the
situation to an extent which the citizen
does not and his present course may in
the end prove admirable and prudential.
1t is hard to thhink however that the
struggling Cubans are not entitled to
the immediate anu hearty assistance OF
the American people.-Nezperce News.
The unseating of two members OF the
legislature last week was an act so bra
zen, so bold, high-handed and piraticsl
as to be disgrace upon the legislative
body, and upon the people Of the state
that their representatives are capable OF
such work. There was every evidence

the will of Bingham county that the un-
seated men should represent that county
yet the legislature deliberately overrides
that win and tramples justice under the
heels OF brute force. The act was first
excused under the plea that the men
had been ON two tickets. But in the
face Of three decisions Of the courts sus-
tanning similar cases, and the fact that
every STATE officer was on two or more
tickets, and the further fact that the
throwing out OF the electors democratic
ticket would still leave the men elected
by something like 100, that excuse
broke down, and the members engaged
in the outrageous business fell back up
on the cold blooded truth that I'VE did
it because We had the votes and the
power to DO it." Shame upon meT

such a deed and acknowledge sCch q
