Peanut Politics.

The present republican majority
in the Idaho legislature will go
down in history as one of the most
infamous and detestible that has
blotted the escutcheon OF the state.
Not for any thing especially
villainous on large scale that
it has done but for its infinite
littleness. 1t possessed neither
the brains nor the courage to do
even villainy on big scale, but as
an example on littleness it can
give pointers to microbe.
Not one single democrat out of
the seventeen in legislature was
given a Craftsmanship on any
committee. On some committees
the democrats we're not given a
place at all.
If that is not contemplate
littleness it is hard to find it.
1t is on bar with the lttlepess
as Of the republican. Examining
Board in refusing to pay the papers
Of the state for publishing the
notice with reference to the pro-
posed constitutional amendment on
the eight hour bill, under the
puerile plea that there was no war
ant in law to publish such notices,
when at the same time their
speakers in the debate on that
bill admitted that the notices had
been published the same as all
former notices of proposed changes
in the Constitution were published.
1t was simply very little scheme
to cheat the newspaper men out
of what they had honestly earned
and it will be laid up in their
minds for use when the republican
party puts up its men two years
from now.
Then the republicans in the
legislature killed the eight hour
bill. They made grand stand
play for the labor votes and when
they got in power, they turned
down the only bill introduced
and especially demanded by the
laboring men of that state.
They flaunt it in theirfaces that
the more time they had from labor,
the longer they would larry in the
saloons and bar rooms. That of
itself should turn every member of
every labor union in Idaho against
a party that will trust such in
incompetents with a little brief
authority.

a The republican organs are hav-
ina great deal to say about the
thirty thousand dollar deficiency of
the last administration. Defcien-
cies, when they are legitimate, do
not argue against an administra-
ton. The bulk of these defcien-
cies are from the Land Board, and
yet the Land Board, by its careful
management, turned in nearly a
million dollars to the state. The
republicans ran behind a hundred
thousand dollars every year they
were in power in this state, and
they will make the million dollars
turnad over to them by the demo-
Gratis look like thirty cents before

HOSPITAL ENHANCEMENT.
1t May Interfere With Patients
Recovery-Demands of
Executive staff.

Candidate BOdin, from Prof. r. l..
Werntz' preparatory school, lies des-
perately i'll of typhoid fever at a
boarding house on Cathedral street
The lady of the house, Mrs. Davis, is
in poor health and the young man Z
physician, DIR. j. J. Murphy, desires
to remove him to the Emergency Hos
pital, where he might receive proper
treatment and nursing.
The Chief of Executive Staff, ac-
cording to the physicians statement.
says the patient cannot be admitted
without his consent and before that is
given the Board of Managers must
sign a written agreement to pay all
expenses incurred and also to pay Miss
Pusey, the former superintendent,
whom the Board discharged, and with
the recent decision of the Court had a
perfect right to, the sum of $25. 90 per
week for nursing the patient.
As a typhoid case means from eight
to nine weeks, the neat sum of 500
or more would have to be paid by the
Board to a nurse they have endeavor-
ed to dismiss some months ago. The
Board has sent letter to the attend
ing physician telling him they will be
responsible for all medicine bills, that
they will place cook and an or
derly in the hospital, that they will
provide all necessary food, &C., for
the patient and those in the Board S
employ. The Board has authorized
DR.. murphy to secure a nurse, any
whom he may select, other than Miss
Pusey and the Board will pay charges.
The patient has not yet been admit
ted to the hospital.

VOLUMINOUS BALLOTS.
They Will Hamper The Early
Election Returns-Too
Large For Boxes.

Considerable speculation is being
made over the size of the ballots III
the counties. They are so. large this
year that the ordinary ballot boxes
will be hardly sufficient TO contain
them if the full vote is polled, as the
supervisors expect.
The only remedy to be suggested is
that extra ballot boxes be provided.
This difficulty is one easily overcome.
But there is a much more dicffiult
problem confronting the judges of
election, and that is the counting of
the ballots on the night of election.
1t is thought that in some of the
counties it will be impossible to make
the returns ON election night and that
the judges will have to continue at
their work the next day. THIS, il is
considered, would be deplorable
finale of the election. The people
want to know the result promptly and
no dallying with returns. There is too
much at stake for delays.
1t is true the ballots are long and
the candidates numerous, but the
contest is between the Republican and
the Democratic candidates only. The
JuNkCo ttLQ ftIt
is, there is an equal number of Demo-
Gratis and of Republicans in the. con-
duct of the election in each voting
precinct of the State. Their first and
imperative duty is TO count the ballots
and make their returns. If they are
incapable of doing the work the re-
sponsibility will rest on them and ON
the supervisors, the appointing power.
In every county and in the city of
Baltimore also the count should be
made quickly, so as TO relieve the ten
sion and provide against post-election
scandals. 1t would never do to have
any returns held back. Suspicion
would attach at once to any such dere-
LECTION of duty. The task may be
hard, but all engaged in the work and
paid to do the duty should be held TO
accountability by their superiors. The
polls close early enough to count even
the long and complicated ballots in
vogue before midnight in every pre-
cinct of the State, if the men appoint
ed to do the work are willing.
As the judges and clerks are bipar-
tisan and equally responsible to the
parties they represent they should be
schooled to the idea that the two lead
ing parties equally expect and require
that there shall be no delay in quickly
ascertaining the results and forward
ing the returns.

to show that the Cross woman only cut
