NEEDS OF THE HOUR.

What is needed in our state is
some wholesome legislation-not
that prompted by professional poll
ticians, but legislation in the inte-
rests of the farmers, producers, bus
mess and workingmen. Such legis-
lation can only be had after the
people of the different precincts
have discussed the needs, and then
by selecting a delegate to meet del
egates from other precincts of the
county who, coming instructed,
will formulate resolutions for the
guidance of the county delegation
in the legislature. The people by
this means viii control all legisla-
ton. Idaho county will set this
example and all the counties will
speedily follow. This method will
meet the approval of all who are
not hide bound in nartyism or SO
blinded by prejudice that they will
not or cannot see.
Ordinarily, when the ballot is
dropped into box we part with
our power--delegate it to another,
but where an ante-election pledge
is issued on the above method or
| proposition the people retain their
power and can direct legislation in
the direction of the greatest good to
the greatest number.

There are several questions the
taxpayer can ask and demand an
answer, to-wit: Who has held the
management OF affairs in this
county since it was county? Who
piled up the great debt, that will
cause the taxpayers to bend their
backs for years to come? Who has
caused the excessive tax levy-four
dollars and sixty five cents on the
hundred? Who has caused justice
to miscarry and filled our fair
county with horse and cattle
thieves? Who has neglected every
public interest that few pets
should have fat, soft snap? Who
have violated their solemn con-
tracts and paid double prices for
the same work? Who have bank
rupted our county SO that our
bonds could not be sold to pay the
county debt? Who have bribed
unprIncipled men to betray the
people into voting the same old
gang into power, giving money
brides and promise OF office? Just
think of it, you voters who think
The time has come when this con
dition must change. The people
have power to GUST these pap-suck'
ers and inaugurate new era. The
people can place our county on a
solid basis, and by judicious man
agement lower the taxes to the
minimum and wipe out the net
debt. Other counties. have forced
themselves from the octopus, firing
rule, have lowered the taxes to the
lowest point consistent with good
government. Idaho county can dc
the same, but the people must
change from party to principle, ano

learner on the bicycle. The cool, brac-
Ing air of an evening and the long
stretches of smooth roadway tempt
him. and in his minds eye he pictures

that of a plowman. But above all he
IL impelled to learn by dread of be-
ing considered a faddist. All of his
friends ride. Already he imagines they
look upon him askance and speak Of
him as sort Of Philip Noland-a man
without a wheel. For six successive
seasons he has held out against the
for his pains. Why didn't he learn
then, when everybody was learning, in
stead of postponing the ordeal until
now, when all are past masters in the

Is gall and wormwood to the modest

with trees that help to obscure tho

the handle bars Of his machine to give
the impression that the machine is out

1t to the repair shop. This furnishes
him with an excuse for not riding.
Then he sallies forth, leading his

like yacht and beats and maneuvers

PLIABLE GLASS PLATES.

Chinese Work Which Makes One of Old
Pliny's Stories Probable.
From the Strand Magazine: 1t ap-
making pliable glass plates. They are
not solid, but plated from spun glass
and made gorgeous by brilliant oriental
coloring. The strangest thing ABOUT
them is that, although they are made
Of glass, one can bend them backward
and forward as II they were putty or
pliable clay. In hearing Of these
strange plates one is reminded Of a
story originally by Pliny in his Natural
History. and popular during the mid
die ages. As narrated in the "Gesta
Romanorum"-tha strange repository
Of monkish lore-the tale runs thus:
ut happened that certain arttficer
plate which, being exhibit
ed before the emperor (Tiberius), he
attempted, but ineffectively, to break
1t. 1t bent. however, beneath his ef-
forts, and the artificer, applying
hammer and working upon the glass
as upon copper. presently restored 1t
to its level. Nberius inquired by what
art this was effected, and the other re-
piled that 1t was secret not to be dis
closed. Immediately he was ordered
to the block, the emperor alleging that
II such an art should be practiced gold
and silver would be reckoned as moth
ing" The "Gesta Romanorum" pre-
tends to be nothing but a collection of
amusing stories, and in 1t Pliny fact
and myth are SO mingled that 1t is hard
to separate them. In this particular
case. however 1t appears that the old
Roman naturalist might have been tell
ing the truth after all.

Ordinary floors were condemned by
scientific men because they retain dust,
in which dangerous germs are fostered
and make it hold their virulence for a
long time. Cement floors are safer, but
less agreeable to the feet. M. Capitau,
q French hygienist, recommends wood
pulp floors. which have no cracks, are
soft to the feet and are bad conduc-
tors Of heat and sound, while their
cost is considerably less than that o.
ordinary flooring. 1t is believed that
such floors will prove very durable. The
dried pulp, mixed with little cement
to add resistance to the floor, is trans
ported in powder, and after being made
into a gelatinous mass Is passed be
tween rollers. The floors are painted
to initiate oak or other wood.

Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind, April H.
Especial Correspondence)- dis
patches in the morning newspapers stirred
upageneral discussion among n half score of
gentlemen in a corner OF the smoking room
Of the Indiana Mineral Springs Hotel today.
Several veterans of the civil wnr who have
been regaining health by means of the
Magno Mud Baths and Lithin Water here
took a lively interest in the discussion.
Many interesting stories of the late con-
hict were told.
.In the campaign before Richmond In
the last months of the war;" said Capt. H.
s. Cole, of Fergus Falls, Mimi, ~ was
guilty OF distortion of an order that, had
the battle which it caused been defeat for
us, would have hnd sad results for me;
fortunately the falsehood told rescued US
from a perilous position and we won q
victory"
Capt. Coles regiment was the famous
First Maine Cavalry which by special
moro battles on its colors than any other
carried by any regiment in the Union
army. The First Maine also has the record
of having turned more OF its troopers into
any other regim ent Of the northern army,
while several of the men who have been
governors OF the Pine Tree state since 1865
were at the front with the First Maine.
But 1t was while he was on the staff of Gen.
Chas. +. Smith, who commanded n brigade
of the Second Cavalry corps, the head Of
which was Gen. D. McGregg, one of the
best cavalry captains in the north or south.
that the incident happened.
"Our brigade was In desperate condi-
ton" said Capt. Cole, when Gen. Smith
sent me to ask Gen. McGregg for reinforce
ments. found the Pennsylvania fighters
and delivered my message He thought
fully stroked his beard.
"'Give my compliments to Gen. Smith,
he said, and tell him he can't have -
reinforcement 1t was the first time
ever heard Gen. McGregg swear. and was
convinced that it was due to the serious
condition of his command ] was also con-
WINGED that our brigade should fight its
way out, SO when / galloped up to Gen.
Smith l determined to somewhat change
his superior's orders.
"'What success p he asked. Gen.
McGregg can't send any re-inforcements,
and desires you to attack said. He was
surprised, but the word was given. In
spired by our peril we routed the enemy
and gained n safe place.
"Some time afterward l told Gen. Smith
what had done"
'What happened" asked one Of tho
other veterans.
"Drinks on the general" said the man
from Minnesota, who added that with q
few more Magno Mud Baths he would be
In a fit condition to take n hand in the i'm
pending war with Spain.
