SECURE favorable action in congress
or on any of his pet measures makes
very bad showing, and his friends
fear fatal one, SO far as his future
popularity is concerned.
The public has already begun to
contrast the success of Attorney
Hughes In New York in uncovering
the insurance scandals and practically
breaking UP the most colossal sys-
tenn of graft of modern times, and
the success OF Attorney Hadley repre-
senting the state of Missouri in put
ting to rout Standard Oil, to the great
professions of trust busting made by
the administration and the long series
OF failures and disappointments that
1t has to show for results.
The republican members Of The
house OF representatives are greatly
disturbed over the prospects of the
coming election. Many OF them. how
ever, say that much good will result
from the president yielding to Sena-
tors Aldrieh and EIkins on the rate
bill, rs there is now prospect that
the Dill will pass, receiving practically
the full republican vote in the senate.
SO that the republicans can claim the
credit, and make a showing that has
the appearance OF party harmony The
next thing they want is an early adj |
J0urnment, because they realize that
their inability to do any of the things
that the country Is demanding will
become more apparent to the average
man each day that congress is in SEES
SION, much more so than after adj
jOurnment
It is now thought that there is a
chance for the free alcohol bin to
pass, and for the two houses to come
logetnef on the statehood bill. allow
ing Oklahoma and Indian Territory to
FORM state, and referring the cues
ton OF Joint statehood back to the
voters OF New Mexico and Arizona
The question Of campaign funds is
disturbing the members whose cleo
ions depend upon the expenditure Of
large sumes of money. There are a
number of republican seats that are
only held by large expenditures. It
9 feared that many Of these will be
ost in the coming election as the life
insurance companies will not be like
y to contribute anything this year.
md the rate bill contains a section
'orbidding the railroads from making
political contribution, leaving the ma l
lonal banks as the only available
source of supply. Many think the /,
ranks will refuse to contribute at all q
n at most make only small contribu- {
ions on the ground that they alone {
'annot be expected to put up sufficient S
Q produce much in the way of re- i
ults. The prospects are now that
he rate bill will reach a vote inside i
y ten days. It is not thought that '
Aldrich. now that he has gained his
'oint on the court review amendment q
will unnecessarily delay a vote being
cached on the bill. a

DubOis-NO Organ.

Not a single newspaper OF any
influences in this state is sup
porting Dubois and his Mormon
eating programme. He has been
forced to go outside of the state
for an organ and has made a
deal with the Salt Lake Tribune,
which has agreed to accept all
the dope his press agents can
send to it. The Tribune is own
ed by Tom Kearns, an ignorant
foreigner, an accidental million
aire, who declared that he would
"raisc hell with the Mormons"
when they refused to re-elect him
to the United States senate.
Tom Kearns as a purifier of the
American homes certainly, is
the limit. The ISLANDERS and false
hoods that Dubois the press bur
eau is sending down to the Tri-
bune would discredit any cause
and they are doing Dubois nc

who is always tair prey for the

An Englisman was in New

at dinner with an American

DISP|CAB[f WORK.

1t has come to our ears that
some dispicable political work is
being done on the Twin Falls
tract. A small circle-and we
hope and believe-that it is a
small circle, of anti-progression-
lists. who have allied themselves
with the maligners and traduc-
ers of Idaho. have thought it
obligatory upon themselves to
invent lies and malevolent accus-
ations against the pioneers of
Cassia county in order to defeat
the county republican ticket,
malign the candidates on the
ticket that happen to be of Nor
mon faith for no other reason
than that they belong to that
faith. They charge them with
every crime in the category OF
crimes, not excluding even that
of murder itself, and the origina-
tors of these base and wicked
charges know perfectly well that
they are as false as hell itself.
We have no words of contempt
that would be sufficiently strong
to suit the blackness and vileness
of mems hearts who can stoop
to such dastardly work. We
can only say that our feelings
concerning them go so far be-
yond ordinary disgust that they
amount to a sickening pity
which makes us wonder whether
they be men or beasts.
We hope no intelligent citizens
will be mislead by their damn
able lies, and that they will take
occasion to repudiate such ac
tions at the polls on Tuesday
next. We give our word, anc

creature stood with her back
against a wide board, and a
with a black NOUS
tache threw cleaning knives at
her clear across the stage. The
first knife came within an inch
of her ear, and auivered as it
stuck in the soft wood. Then he
landed one at the other side of
her head and one just above her.
The Englishman picked up his
overcoat and started up the
aisle. The American followed
him and asked: whats the
matter? Don't you like the
show?"
Its very stupid" replied the
Englishman. HE missed her
three times"
Several years ago heard Will
ton Lackave tell another one on
the Englishman. Doubtless this
has been printed, but it is GER
tainly worth repeating:
A Bostonian was showing a
British visitor the sights of the
Hub. They were driving past
Bunker Hill Monument. Inas-
much as the Anglo-American al
lance had lately come into being
and the Boston gentleman did
not wish to make any pointed
reference to the fact that at one
time we had been fighting with
our cousins, he merely indicated
the monument with his thumb
and said: Bunker HILL"
The Englishman looked at the
hill intently and asked: "Who
was Mr.. Bunker and what did
he do to the hill?"
"You don't understand" said
the Bostonian. This is where
! Warren fell"
The Englishman screwed the
monocle into his eye, leaned back
and looked at the top of the

They had decided to spring their sur

Executing Political Rivals.

In the reign of Charles II. the names
of "Whig" and Tory were used for
the two parties which we now call
Liberal and conservative"
So strong was the hostility between
the parties that when the king sum
moned his third parliament 0GSD he
was afraid for it to meet in London,
which was very Whiggish. and he con-
vened it at Oxford, where TOryism was
strong. The Wing members, alarmed
at this, rode into Oxford armed with
pistols.
In the reaction which followed this
display of force prominent Wings were
prosecuted on the evidence of perjured
informers, and many of them suffered
death. The Earl of ~Shaftesbury, the
Wing leader, was accused of high trea-
son, but was acquitted. In fact, no
Tory juries would convict a Tory, and
where the Wings predOminated no jury
would convict Il Wing. AT last things
reached such a climax that leading
Wings, in despair, formed a plan to
compel the king to summOn a free par

treason, and some of their leaders were
