An Unpopular Practice.

From the Oswego IN. " Palladium.
The Washington Star thinks that 1.-The at
tempt to excuse the appointment of a New
Yorker as Washington's postmaster by
throwing the blame upon this community and
the numerous local candidates is thoroughly
and exasperatingly unjust. Postmaster
Merritt may be excellent man. but his
appointment is certainly a reflection on
Washington, as 1t is violation of the prin-
ciple of home rule. The practice of coming
up the state to find collectors for the port
of New York, which has been INDUCED in
by both republican and democratic admin
istrations, is not popular one. There are
men in New York capable of filling the Of
flee, and there are men in Washington who
ought to be entitled to the postmastership In
that city. But the trouble is residents of the
District of Columbia do not vote and moth
ing can be gained politically by the appoint
u,ent of Washington man.

Three Good Signs.
From the Pittsburg Post.

&c.
The reported inquiry from Belgium for a
large amount of American coke and the re-
fusal of Pittsburg coke men to bid for the
contract brings out interesting information.
First is the fact that the price at which
coke sells in Belgium is high enough TO
permit of the expectation of coke from this
country. Next is the demonstration that
the metal trades are active enough in
Europe to induce resort to almost any ex-
pedient to keep the furnaces going, and,
finally, that the American furnaces are too
busy to allow any portion of the coke pro-
duction to go out of this country.

Just What We Are Doing,

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t is good to keep in mind through all the
Philippine fighting and negotiation that the
only way we found 1t possible to deal with
the Cuban insurgents was to ignore the
Cuban assembly. push aside the Cuban gen.
erals and deal directly and individually
with the Cuban people. The so-called anti
imperialists are clamoring to the President
to treat the poor Filipinos as he treated
the Cubans." In this they are wiser than
they know.

1t is 20 be hoped that the fact that Sir

sportsmanlike as to wipe out much of the

Florence Mention.

From the Miner
Chas. Cone and Chas. Smith, of
Grangeville, started for the Hump
this week to examine mining prop
erty.
Mr.. Smith, our new postmaster,
has taken possession. and the Of
flee has been removed one door
east of the old stand.
We understand that a movement
has been started in the southern
part of Shoshone county for the
purpose Of dividing the county.
Frank Planker has built to-
boggan and will start for the
Hump in a few days, accompanied
by the Courtney boys. He goes to
Grangeville before making this
trip.
1t is currently reported that in
short time loca tons will be made
very fast, as the lateness of the
great strikes, both at the Hump
and on the river, retarded work
and prospecting last year.
R. M. Sherman came in from
the Hump this week and left for
the river, accompanied by E..
Shorthill, D. Patterson and Jas.
McCaffery. They intend to make
locations and do development
work.
Word has been received here
that H. P. Lee, late school teacher
at this camp, and who started for
Weiser by way of the Shearer
trail along the river, lost the trail
and had four fingers slightly fro
zen.
We should have a state board
of immigration regardless of any
howl that may be set up by the
antedeluvians, and at the head OF
that department should be placed
the most competent man to be
found in the state.

]. is a pleasure to citizens Of

way in which our Legislature
is getting down to work. The
house has wisely passed a res
olution providing that the mat
ter of the vivification of the
laws passed since statehood
shall be disposed of before 9th
err bills are introduced. This
is as it should be. Those laws
enacted by former legislatures
that have proven good should
be retained, the bad repealed,
thus carefully preparing the
foundation before beginning to
build upon it. The present
legislature bids fair to be the
most progressive in the history

"Greater" New York is ushered into the
world full grown giant. The problem

contained population equal to that of
thirteen Of our sovereign States at our
last census. and as numerous as that of
the original thirteen States. Provision
for the life and health of this vast multi
tude of all nations and chimes IS an un-
solved enigma. Thousands of stuff rers
in New York and elsewhere are wres-
tied from the grasp of that agonizing
complaint, rheumatism, by the timely
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is a preventative of malaria and
kidney complaint, and a curative of
liver complaint. constipation and ner-
