Senator DUBOIS is Idaho's tr' 'ght
est and most clever politician. He
has had his face IN the public crib
since Tige was pup. He has
played the political game on all sides
of the fence, and then some. He
now poses as the savior of the peo-
ple of Idaho, who he claims are in
the clutches of the horrible octopus,
aMormonism," which is slowly but
surely strangling the manhood and
womanhood of Idaho. This is a
bunch of bad dope to thy to force
down the throats of Idaho people.
We have no objection to the Sena
/. tbr having Office, but we do object
TO his attempt to persecute the Nor
mon people for political revenue
only. If Idaho is in the condition
Dubois says we are in, right think
ing people ought to all get up and
leave. The gallant gentleman is
wonder, and If DE can give us the
proof of all these crimes he alleges

The recent meeting of the SO
called democratic state central COM
mittee there was furnished the only
example so far as known in this
country, where party committee
sought to forbid the participation
in the primaries of the party, those
members of the organization who
differ IN some matters of policy
from those IN control of the machin
cry. If this be not party machinery
or bossism gone mad, then America
has never seen an example of il.
This machine Gusts from its mem.
bersnip the duly elected representa-.
tives of the party who do not fully
agree with them in their party ma
chinations, they tell the members oi
the party what, and what only, they
may fight for, and they calmly tel
those who do, not agree with then
that they may no longer have ever
an opportunity of contesting th,
matter with them in the primaries
Such dictation. such contempt ot
American citizenship and lndepend
ence, such determination to rid
rough shod over the rights of tn,
people, has never been seen-no
not even in the palmiest days o
. Mormon domination. -Pocatello Ad

Polygamous living should he
stopped without any mercy accom-
panying the process, whether 1t is
practiced by Mormons or non Nor
mons, but how is this political pow
er of the Mormons to be destroyed.
All religious organizations possess
political power, and for exercising
it should that power be destroyed?
Senator Dubois possesses political
power, and has possessed il for
great many years. Ii has been an
invinclble power. lie would surely
most seriously object to having it
ruthlcssly destroyed. !.
There is one way to destroy the
political power of an organization,
and that is by disfranchising its
members. The people Of Idaho will
not endorse such radical and un-
just measure. They will. however,
f.vor legislation for the suppression
of polygamy if law car be framed
that would give promise of being
more effective than the one we now
have. But Senator Dubois will
have to acquire more power than he
has heretofore possessed to destroy
the political power of Mormonism
or any other religious denomination.

BIG FIRE At ST. PAUL
OVER THREE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS WORTH OF
PROPERTY DESTROYED.

st. Paul. Aug. 2S.-Fire early Tues
day morning. starting in a storehouse
between the American Can company
on Fillmore avenue, between Indiana
venue and Custer street, swept the
entire block, jeopardizing in the neigh
bornood OF $4,000 worth OF property.
AT 5 o'clock. when the fire was still
burning. it was impossible to place an
exact estimate on the loss. but the
whole block undoubtedly will be a to-
tai loss.
The buildings imperilled by the
flames were the Heinz Picking COM
pany building, q two-story brick at
Indiana and Fillmore avenues: the
American Can company building. a
hve-storv brock, 5l-57 Fillmore avenu
and q two-story frame fat building at
61-63 Fillmore. This building is val
ued at s5.o0o and the American Can
company building and contents are
said to be worth in the neighborhood
of $4,000, The Heinz property
should reach $4,000.
Ali the buildings we're finally de-
stroyed by the flames, despite the
desperate work OF the fremen.

AFTER THE DIsTiLLERiEs.
Standard OH Company Said to Be
Ready to Buy.

Chicago. Aug. 27.-The Standard on
company has taken steps toward &C
Quiriug ownership OF all the principal
distilling plants in the United States,
according to a special dispatch from
Peoria, H., to the Tribune. A confer
ence was held Friday last in Chicago
between representatives OF the distil-
ling interests and the Standard Oh!
company.
A price has been set on every dis
tillery in Peoria and indications are
that a deal will be effected and the
plants will pass into the hands OF the
Standard soon.
1t is said the price asked was con-
sidered too high by the Standard Oil
people and the latter threatened II
suitable terms could not be reached to
build distilling houses of their own.
The chief reason of this action on
the part OF the Standard Oil company
was the recent passage OF the alcohol
sill by congress-. EXpe~,,s employed by
the Rockefeller interests, after expert
menting, reported their product cannot
be manufactured cheaply enough to
make it a serious competitor OF gaso-
line, but that it could be used in the
manufacture of merceriZed cotton and
other fabrics and would be an extreme
ly favorable product to control.

Havana. Aug, 2S.-At the moment
when the government was issuing its
proclamation offering pardon 20 rebels
who would lay down their arms, its
forces were dealing the most telling
blow that has Yet been struck against
Insurgents in the field. For several
days il had been stated that General
Guzman'S .orce OF insurgents. which
was r~ariously estimated al from 200
upwards, contemplated an attack on
Cienfuesos. Colonel Vale, with a de-
tachment Of rural guards and volun-
teers, was dispatched 10 Cienfuegos
for the purpose of engaging Guzman
and breaking up the band. The en-
counter of the TWO forces resulted in
the worst disaster which the insur-
gents have sustained up 10 this time.
They lost seventeen men killed and
many wounded, while the loss 10 the
government force was n man killed.
