The scenes at Pocatello are for
chile illustrations Of the folly of the
principle Of fusion. The spectacle
of the skeleton of the silver repub-
lican party demanding recognition
in the councils of the democrats is
ridiculous. There is no silver re.
publican party in the state and
only a small democratic element OF
the former party remains intact.
This faction Of democrats now
stands up and demands lions
share of the fusion pie.
On the other hand the populist
party, the strongest element Of the
fusion. is forced into second place
by a sort Of tacit forbearance. The
populists have become confused in
Idaho. The democratic party is a
populist party with the old name
alone to designate it. In this
sense the populists and democrats
are in faith and in fact. They are
only factions of one party in log.
ical sense. The ridiculous part OF
the whole thing is that the demo-
cratic faction of the conglomerate
seems to be satisfied with dispens.
ing the pie. The factions of the
whole triumviate are seemingly
conspirators for Doodle. The prin-
cipal object Of the conspirators is
to put partisans in Office regardless
of their qualifications. The fusion
Is combined conspiracy for Offices.
The people are the contemplated
victims.

Extravaganza Of Incapacity.
FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY. Of Ohio

Extravaganza Of Incapacity.
The present state democratic ad-
ministration has been one Of glaring
incapacity and bljghting partisan.
ship. The waste from incompe-
tent service has been worse than
any possible extravaganza. The
Occur d'Alene policy Of Steunen-
berg has cost the state more than
all the cost Of a wise state govern
ment should have summed up.
And that expensive experiment is
perpetuated. The state may yet
be bankrupted by the scheme Of
government put in operation in
that quarter.
The states allowance Of public
land that rightly managed would
have been fortune has been vast
ed by incompetent selections first
aud by erroneous entries after Sc.
lections were made. The really
valuable land which was selected
for the state was lost by technical
irregularities. The worthless land
that did not involve contest was
saved to the state not to become an
asset, but present expense and
future burden. The fact that the
state saved a possible pittance on
salaries and lost by dishonest or in
competent service does not prove
economy in general administration.
The state institutions have been
burdened with partisan strife.
Usefulness has been sacrificed to
political zeal. The asylum at
Blackfoot has cloud of scandal
overhanging its management. The
penitentiary is threatened with
Steunenbergism in the near future.
All that can save it is the success
Of the ants at Pocatello.
The Moscow university has felt
the hand of Steunenbergism.
A blow has been dealt that the in
stitution will survive only in the
prospect Of a change in the state
administration by the first of the
year. This is democratic economy
in Idaho.
1t will be impossible for the par
tisan papers which proclaim i'm
aginary virtues for the pet permit
man to point to one instance OF
\ wise or economical government
within the past two terms of Office
The reign has been the most in
tensely partisan that the state has
ever experienced. Partisanship in
full sense would be broad term
to apply to Steunenbergism. His
public acts are more correctly
described as factional. He has
spared nothing to destroy indie
pendence in his own party. 1t has
been fatal for any servant of the
state TO display disloyalty to TIE
boss. The governor has displayed
disposition to sacrifice the best
interests Of the commonw w alth to
personal ends. His policy has
been extremely narrow. He has
not been generous enough to see

Valuable Invention.

Mr.. G.. S. Henderson, of this city, has
taken u a caveat for patent rights
on a hay baling press that is quite a
marvel for utility, economy and SIM
( plic:ty in comparison with other press
es. Ee made mis- first press a year ago
but it was more Of a model tina any
thing else.
The inventor now has on exhibition
a press which he built for Mr.. John
F. Carroll. A Messenger r~-Y.-E=nta-
tive saw it yesterday on tn =. nises
of Mrs. Dickinson On North fifth
street, between Red Cross anu Walnut
streets. The principal point in the in
vention is the motive power. Instead
Of having geared wheels with cogs
that slip off and worry and de-
lay, MIR. Henderson gets his power from
a double eliptical cam. An iron center
pin forms a fulcrum, and wv arms of
a cam form ever auXiliarieS to the full
crum. This gives increased leverage
and does away with the use Of one
horse in operating the preas. 1t can be
operated with all ease by an OK or a
horse. In fact it can be operated east
ly by a couple of men.
The box for the baling lies on the
ground, and the hay is packed in layers
sufficient for one feed for an animal.
The press delivers the bale while in h
process of packing another. With
horse or steam power from 80 to 40
bales an hour can be pressed. 1t make
a neat bale of any length, but the usual
size is 3S inches long by Is by 20 inches.
The standard bale is 40 inches by 16x1S
inches. and hereafter Mr.. Henderson
will make only hat size presses.
The press does it's work neatly and all
practical men who see it at once re-
cognize its advantages. 1t can be used
for baling hay, straw, d~ogtongue, rags,
and cotton, if need be. Already Mr..
Henderson has orders for about ten
presses, among his customers being Mr..
T. ]. Gore, Geo. c. Worth and others.
The press is sold at SIPS, and as there
Is a demand for them, MI. Henderson
has associated Capt. Jno. Furlong with
him in the enterprises, and they will
manufacture them. They already have
a boiler and engine in position will
add two drills and a couple rip saws
and other machinery.
Mr.. Henderson is a printer by trade.
He Is a native Of East India, but has
been in America 19 years, 6 years Of
which have been spent in North Car
DINA.

he Is inspired to do this by the firm
