The gentle couple do not speak Of
themselves or their history. They have
little to say to their neighbors, though
they are civil and polite to all. They
have never quarreled even with th<
people who live upstairs over their
heads. Who they are or whence they
came few in the neighborhood know.
They are well bred and intelligent and
their silence and their appearance and

The impression is somewhat prev

republicans of Idaho held general

cOnsoling, and the democrats elected
shine like diamonds in Junk pile
in fact are very CONSPICUOUS. The
full returns are in other columns OF
this issue. After consideration shows
that this election was conducted on
rather paradoxical principles, that is
to say, not 80 much for the purpose
of e]ecting the general ticket, as it
was to defeat certain candidates, and
any further discussion is unnecessary
as both parties are open to the same
charge. Idaho has gone republican,
and in so doing has swung into line,
and now revolves in the same orbit
rs most of the other great states.
The republican press of Idaho has
claimed that because the state was
controlled by political protestants,
against monopoly, MILL and tariff
injustice that eastern capital, gather
ed from western resources, would not
seek investment here. Now the polit-
ical conditions are changed, and all
will wait with interest for future re-
suits, honestly trusting that possibly
we may enjoy some OF the prosperity
so extensively advertised.
The retiring administration will
turn over the affairs of the common
wealth, in perfect condition giving
the incoming one splendid inherit
ance, and it is to be hoped they will
care for it And so after the battle is
over, and We consider results in the
face Of disappointments that must
come, we still have the blessed sun
shine, the fertile soil yielding its
