term Of six years.-Idaho Statesman.

Strange that the opposition press in
/ Idaho should overlook the hundred in
stances where wages have been advanced
and new factories opened to the idle
| workman AMI make q note OF single in
stances in the cotton industry where
wages have been reduced! Has preju-
dice so warped their minds that they
dare not give the whole truth TO their
readers ?-Lewiston Teller.
/ Take pensions away from those who
ara not entitled to them, and give to the
deserving veterans an increased pension.
This government cannot afford to be mig
gardly with soldiers who bear the scars
and wounds OF honorable warfare in her
defence; in order to be liberal with these
the pension list should be revised and
frauds corrected. This will be benefit

The Idaho World has cast political
horoscope for the coming campaign, in
which it sees the disarmament OF the
! silver Republicans and the ultimate tri-
umPh OF the Populists. Ii would be in
trresting to know by what occult science
the editor has been able TO discover that
sufficient number Of votes in Idaho
coult be induced to bring about this re-
suit. We suspect that 1.-THE wish is
father to the thought. "-Caldwell Re

Idaho is now ready for business. II
has more undevelOped mineral territory
than any other state in the Union, and
more rich agricultural land to be settled.
II is q natural combination Of Klondlke
and Garden OF Ellen. There are people
who want to find riches like those Of the
KlOndike, and others who long for some
spot like the garden where our first par

The reiusa: to give Durrant burial in a
cemetery was carrying the matter little
too far. He should have been promptly
buried, mt least ten feet deep, and left
alone until called to meet the God in

The strike and the boycott can no
longer he relied on as the workingman's
weapons. They are as out OF date as the
old style of blunderbnss would he in
modern war. The strike is too expen-
give, too ruinous, too sure to fail Even

spirit Of American liberty than to the
