JUST A PIPE DREAM

| Zion bearing IN his hand authority
to test bars of metal and stamp up
on them the true value thereof, anc
his name was Woolley, and he was
fair to look upon.
Forwith went up a great cry
out of Boise the Beautiful and the
jewellers therein smote Zion with
red hot tongues, and they were
sore distressed because Woolley
was come among them bearing au.
thority.
Yea, and it came to pass that the
scribes Of Boise the Beautiful did
accuse the Saints of bartering votes
and voices to Hepburn of Wallace,
and did sell themselves unto him to
the end that Woolley, who is fair
to look upon, might be lifted up.
Yea, and they did charge upon
Hepburn and Gooding and Stand
rod wicked intrigue, and, in their
wrath, they did cry corruption aud
proclaim all manner of sin.
And it came to pass that the
scribes of Boise the Beautiful did
prefer charges against Woolley and
did earnestly strive to drag him
down and trample him in the dust,
forasmuch as he did seek to hold
an office which ye $cribes wanted
unto themselves.
And they counseled one with an
other and said among themselves,
verify shall we endure this man
who is of the Mormon faith, and
hath not entrance into society?
Verify, verify he is not of the pink
tea priesthood, nor hath he been
ordained into the order of finch,
nor is he of the legion OF fiddle de
wink. Let us rise in our might and
smite him hip and thigh.
And they smote.
And 1t came to pass that when
they who dwell in Zion, and great
is the number of them, saw the
thing which was done in Boise the
Beautiful, they were exceeding
wroth and CRASHED their teeth; thew
took counsel among themselves
saying:
eve will join ourselves unto the
people of Standrod, and unto the
people of Gooding, and unto the
people of Hepburn that dwell On
the north. and unto the people of
Shoup that are in the land of Lem
hi and, 10! there will be a mighty
host"
And it came to pass that in after
time the tribes of the Republicans
did meet and there was strife in
their midst, and they strove one
with another for the space of one
whole day, and when the night
was come, neither did they cease
from striving. And the men of
Zion were Joined with the men of
all the country from Lincoln to the
north, even unto Blaine and Custer
and Lemhi, and they were Joined
with all the men on the east, even
unto Fremont and Bingham and
Bannock and Bear Lake and Onei-
da and Cassia. And the men of
Hepburn of Wallace saw that the
men of Zion were strong in their
might; and it came to pass that the
tribes of Kootenai and Shoshone
and Latah and Nez Perce and the
county which is Idaho, came over
and Joined themselves unto the
men of Zion, and when they all
did count noses, it was so that the
men OF IS counties were united
against the men of s counties
which counties are Washington,
Boise, Ada, Canyon, Owyhee and
Gilmore. And when this was
known, the men Of Zion and their
allies did rest upon their arms, but
the scribes of Boise the Beautiful
and those that are with them could
not rest ulon anything for they
were sore afraid.
And it came to pass that on the
second day the conflict within the
Republican tribes was renewed and
