The Political Alliance For 1898.

The on-looker in Idaho politics
now sees many significant move
ments that indicate . new align.
ment for the campaign of next year,
says the Lewiston Teller. The pop.
ulists have taken decided ground
looking to their breaking away from
the demo-populist fusion of last
year. The leading populist organ
of the state, the Boise Sentinel, has
raised the standard of "True Pop.
ulism" and uses it's columns freely
to criticise the governor and to agi-
tate the reorganization of populists
in the various counties Of the state.
The silver republican press of the
state clearly shows that Miss De-
mocracy divorced from Populism
need not to look long for new al
lance. They hail with JOY the
union of tbs true friends Of silver
in tho state. IF Democracy will
consent. and one is az snxious as
the other is willing. the pew alliance
will be Democratic Silver Republi-
can, and the next csmpegn in Idaho
will b. a.three-cornered fRht With
oddapEne party q combination.

Convicts Guarding Themselves.

The anomalous spectacle of large
gang of penitentiary convicts work.
ing in the open, with no officers OF
armed force to guard them, is pre-.
sented every day at Yuma, Arizona.
They are camped on the Colorado
river, little above Yuma, to be ex-
act, and they are engaged in cutting
wood for the Territory. None OF
them escape. Why do they stay
Because each man guards the other.
Each man is "short termer, none
of them having more than q year
yet to serve. All are allowed a re-
bate for the work they do. When a
convict has cut two cords of wood
he has earned days rebate on his
term, but should one of the gang
escape, then every man in the gang
loses all rebates. Thus each man
becomes his brothers keeper in a
more practical sense than the beau
tifQl theory is carried out among
freemen.

Hawaiians Against Annexation.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts
has presented to the Senate mon.
ster petition signed by $4,000 native
Hawaiians protesting against the
annexation Of the islands to the
United States. They do not want
their country annexed to any foreign
nation, as they desire it to be free
and independent. There are less
than 1000 whites on the islands
and not more than one-half that
number are Americans. Some of
those whites for profit, not patriot
ism, want the islands, which are
over2, 900 miles from San Francisco,
annexed to the United States, but
$4,000 natives are opposed to an
nexation. The Administration and
possibly two-thirds of the Senate
favor annexation, because the large
sugar planters and the moneyed
interests desire it SO, and strange
to say, many of those who want
the Hawaiian islands, 1000 miles
away, annexed are opposed to the
of Cuba, which is less
than 100 miles from the Keys of
Florida. si.s,a

Oacar Wilds's Reappearancs.

A letter from London to the New
York Journal dated Dec. 18th says
There is controversy over Oscar
Wilde's temperance as drama.ist.
A prominent manager is preparing
to produce his latest play under a
thinly yelled pseudonym. There
upon the st. James Gazette says /:
"The manager has failed to grasp
the fact that this dramatist's career
at respectable London playhouses
must be considered closed"
Paris, however, does not share
this antipathy. A theater in that
city announces that play, written
in French, BY Oscar Wilde will be
produced shortly.
In an interview published by Gil
Bias, Oscar Wilde declares the
British will forgive anything in the
case of one who amuses them.

Bryan's Triumph liant Tour.

VIM. j. Bryan and party are max.
ing triumphal journey through
Mexico, stopping at the principal
cities between the frontier and the
capital, and everywhere the famous
American is being treated with re.
markable courtesy. At various
State capitals the Governors have
personally greeted the Democratic
leader, and he has been accorded
exceptional facilities for seeing
everything. He arrived in the City
of Mexico Monday night, and was
escorted to the Hotel SAM, where
Injurious quarters had been re-
served for him..
There is no doubt Mr.. Bryan's
position on the silver question has
much to do with the warm senti-
ment of friendship exhibited to him.

Orion Clemens, brother of the
famous author, Mark Twain, died
suddenly last Saturday at his home
in Keokuk, Ia, aged 70. Mr.. Glenn
ems went to Keokuk during 1856,
and with his brother, the humorist,
engaged in the job printing business.
He served as Secretary and Treas
urer of Nevada Territory during
Lincoln's first term. Nevada had
been a part of Idaho until the gold
and silver discoveries which made
the big bonanza mine famous,
caused an influx of population into
Nevada and it was declared a Ter.
ritory. Mr.. Clemens held the Office
until it became a State, from 1861
to 1856, He went to Keokuk again
in 1872, since which time it has
been his home.

Another mysterious murder of a
woman occurred at San Francisco
Wednesday night. Many of the
features of the horrible tragedy are
similar to the tragic deaths OF
Blanche Lamont aud Minnie Will
liams. The victim is supposed to
be Mrs. Mary c. Clute, a wealthy
resident of Watsonville, Cal. Her
mutilated body was found in room
of handsome fat that she had
recently rented in the vicinity of
the Emanuel Baptist church. A
man who layed the carpets for the
murdered woman is suspected of
the horrible crime.

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark,
Dec. 10th, says:
Judge E. M. Merriman of this
city, who once defended Joseph F.
Blanther when Blanther under the
name of Forbes, was charged with
crime in this city, gave out pub
lie statement to-day, in which be
reiterates his previously expressed
belief that Blanther, and not Theo-
dore Durrant, murdered Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams in
San Francisco. He declares that
the execution Of Durrant will be a
judicial murder. He insists there
can be no question but that the
confession produced in Texas is in
the handwriting of Blanther, and
he declares that this confession
must be accepted as true, as against
the merely circumstantial evidence
involving Durrant.
The fact that Blanther was seen
in Atlanta, Ca, between April IL
and April Is, 1895, Merriman puts
aside. He argues that Blanther
could have left Atlanta on April 4
and been in San Francisco in time
to murder the two girls on the night
Of April II, or possibly the night
before, after which he might ha We
returned Immediately to Atlanta.
The lawyer expressed the belief that
Blanther committed these crimes
as the hireling of someone who
wanted to put the two girls out Of

n-sErAron DUBOIS on HAWAII.


Gives HI Reasons For Being Opposed 70
Annexation.
In an interview with . reporter
Of tho Blackfoot News ex-Senat or
Dubois, who has recently returned
from an extended trip to China,
Japan and the Sandwich Islands,
gave some interesting facts about
Hawaii and his reasons for being
opposed to annexation. Mr.. Dubois
SAID:
"The Hawaiian Archipelago consists Of
eight islands, all mountainous. Nearly
all the lands capable of cultivation have
been utilized. Very little more can be
reclaimed All told there is not ~ much
agriculture! land on the islands as there
is in Bingham county. But even If the
natural resources were far greater. would
be decidedly against annexation aud
would regard such action on the part OF
our government, as y grievous mistake.
"There are some 10000 natives and
half breeds on the islands, "a GOO Japan
ese, $4,000 Chinese, $4,000 Portuguese.
and 1000 others, including South Sea
Islanders and kindred people. There are
also some 1000 white people of whom
5000 ale Americans There are nearly
twice as many men as women. OF this
population, practically, all the natives
are opposed to annexation and likewise
all the foreigners, except, perhaps, some
thing over one half the Americans.
ut is dangerous policy for the United
States to establish such . precedent as
this annexation would be. The acquisi-
ton of Louisiana, Florida and Alaska
furnish no precedent. These belonged
to European powers and were purchased
from them. Louisiana and Florida were
contiguous to our country, whereas Ha-
waii Is 2,O86 miles from our coast. Texas
was also really a part of US and desired
to be annexed It was no trouble to
assimilate these people, for they were
neighbors and not foreigners. These
Hawaiians have had their own form OF
government for years. They have not
done anything to offend US; on the con-
trary they have always favored US Amer
leans taking prominent part in their
government. Their government was .

justice of the United States, but if they

they will vote themselves free from US rs

the people there were willing to give up
their country to US, we might consider

1t is your so-called respectable
people who are the most dangerous.
Their cloak of eminent respectable
ity hides them, and people will not
believe you when you show them
up, especially when they are church
members and wear long faces. My
experience is that these who stand
foremost in the synagogue and wear
long faces on Sunday, and spend the
rest of the week bribing aldermen
and planning stock jobbing schemes
to defraud widows and orphans,
are the most dangerous members of
society.-Governor Pingree.

III Correct m Abuse in the Pension
Buainoas.

The Honse COMMITTEES on Invalid
Pensions will report bill to pro-
hibit the granting Of pensions to
the widow Of soldier who shall
marry after its passage. The Com
mittee finds the passage Of such a
bill necessary to correct the great
and growing habit Of young women
marrying old soldiers and sailors
for the purpose of becoming widows
and drawing pensions from the Gov
ernment az such.
The war ended in April, 1865,
nearly 33 years ago. The pension
appropriation is seven times more
now than it was fifteen years after
the close of the war. Then it was
less than 5000 900 a year; now
it is $40, 00O, 900 year and that
is not enough, as there is deficiency
of . million or more. No one
objects to pensioning those who
were crippled in the service of their
country, but it il believed that a
majority of those now receiving
pension were never south of Mason
and Dixon's line and are no more
entitled to pensions than millions
Of those who are taxed to pay them.
These imposters and mercenaries
should have their names stricken
from the pension rolls and it has
been suggested, as means of ascer-
tanning who the imposters are, that
the names of all who receive pen
sions from the Government be pub
lished in the postoffice where they
receive their mail.

Numerous petitions have been
sent to Washington asking the At

eral court at Blackfoot to Pocatello.
These petitions are signed by ma
jority of lawyers in that section,
who state that Blackfoot is out of
the way and that Pocatello is the
central point of the law business
in that portion of Idaho. Senator
Heitfeld is preparing a bill which
he will shortly introduce to change
the place of holding courts from
Rlackfoot to Pocatello.
