Harry Orchard.

Harry Orchard has been reprieved by the governor
until July I'd, at which time he is to be hanged by
the neck until he is dead
There is no malicious sentiment in Idaho which
would be pleased with the destruction of anyone
There is no fiendish desire to take vengeance on
Orchard; at the same time there is firm and set
tied conviction that he should pay the full penalty for
the awful crime which he has committed
Had he not made his confession he certainly would
have been hung There absolutely no doubt that
he planted the bomb which destroyed Governor
Steunenberg. He committed this awful crime with
deliberaton and premeditaton. His nature musthave
been completely hardened for he took the life of the
governor at the very threshold of his home where
his wife and family waiting to greet him. Or
chard, when he pulled the string, could look into
the house and the loved whose lives were to
be blasted when the bomb exploded. The proof was
postve-there was escape for Orchard
1t was said that he confessed voluntarily and with
out any promise hope of protection. The facts
seemed to bear out this statement We are convinced
that he was not promised immunity. Orchard is not
fit subject for sympathy If there ever was
criminal who deserved the rigorous enforcement of
the law he is the one

the party outside of his Mormon allies with of
the duties connected with the running of republican
machine and organization. 1t is quite evident Brady
and the Mormon bishops constructed the platforms
in the southeast and at Wallace. Mr. Brady is max
ing his campaign the ground that he is success
full business and in consequence that he will
give the state if elected governor, splendid business
administration.
AS we understand it, neither Mr.. Brady nor his
friends claim for him -eminence in literary at
tainments or culture The bishops have been
noted for excellence in this department Mr.. Brady
can keep the machine in order and the bishops can
furnish the votes at the polls. We would mildly
suggest for the consideration of Mr. Brady, that he
employ some lay members of the republican party
to attend to the literary part incident to a campaign.
He can easily secure the services of gentlemen to
take charge of this department whose productions
will please the ear and commend themselves to the
culture of the people. This may be small matter
and perhaps the republicans will get just as many
votes, no matter in what language their pronounc-
ments are made But at the same time, some out
side people, who do not understand by whom the
republican party is being conducted in this state,
might Judge the people of Idaho from the stand
point of literary culture, as evidenced by the plat
form of the party.

and in opinion the reclamation service will en-
list the aid of President Roosevelt. There would
and ought to have been any opposition to the
original intention of Senator Hepburn, who truly
represents the wishes of the people of the state to
set aside the million acres of land in Idaho to be
reclaimed under the provisions of the Carey act.
He should have held fast to this; and Congressman
French after six years of service certainly ought to
have secured this legislation, the merits of which
cannot be disputed
1t is not late yet perhaps, to secure this legs-
lation; and the Idaho delegation in congress should
bring all of its influence to bear to secure the passage
of the Idaho BILL separate and distinct from any other
measure We hope we mistaken in regard to
the Mondell bill provoking antagonism which cannot
be overcome The reclamation service is not COM
posed of men who are broad-minded that they can
look with complacency on the development OF rr1ga-
ton enterprises in these western states unless that
development is brought about under their direction

Democratic Harmony.

There are some we'll intentioned democrats around
Boise who are anxious for harmony among the
democrats. This is commendable; it would be alto
gether lovely if the democrats of the state all
united. There is simple way by which this con-
summation so devoutly to be wished for be
had Let all the democrats of the state unite in
most vigorous demand that the constitution of the
state be lived up to and enforced That will bring
complete unity. Of course it would shut out all
the Mormons. So long the democratic party in
the state keeps up its demand that the constitution
of the shall be obeyed, the Mormons will vote
the republican ticket
The democratic party of the state is fighting for
great principle. There can be compromise by the
terms of which the democratic party is to abandon
principle The republican party of the state will not
enforce the constitutions it has nullied that nsru-

The Wallace Convention.

The Wallace convention was perfectly harmonious
This has been expected because the machine and the
Mormons were in absolute control the same as they
will be at the state convention in Boise.
The platform sounds very much like the platforms
adopted by the Mormons in the southeast counties.
There was blanket endorsement OF Hepburn, French
and Borah and of the state administration The
difference in the Wallace resolutions and the reSo-
buttons in the Mormon counties, is that in the former
the delegates were instructed for James H. Brady Tor
governor and in the latter for VIM H. Taft for presi-
dent.
There is such a striking similarity between the
Mormon resolutions and the Wallace resolutions,
that it is evident they were not only inspired but
written bv the same hands We wish for the sake
of the reputation of the entire state that someone
had been selected by proper authority to edit and
censor these republican resolutions. The grammar
and the arrangement of the sentences is peculiar to
say the least There many gentlemen in the re-
publican party who capable of writing set OF
resolutions which would read smoothly and be ex-
pressiye.
We cannot help thinking that the major portion of
Idaho's citizenship were shocked if not chagrlned
when they read the full platform as sent by the
staff correspondent of the Statesman and published
by that journal in its issue Of Wednesday the 18th
Almost every sentence in the platform indicated the
dDoShSN "
culture on the part of those who framed the lang
uage For instance, there is this sentence:
1--WE declare ourselves unalteraby in favor OF re-
publican principle of protection as applied to raw
materials as we'll to manufactured articles pro-
duced in the United States" And again the follow
ing clause:
1--WE hereby endorse the honest, wise and courag-
eous administration of Theodore Roosevelt, which
in benefits bestowed the people have been sur
passed by none and equaed by few presiding adj
ministratons.'
We assume that presiding" is typographical
error and what the resolution said preceding
administrations However, whether it is presiding or
preceding does not change the execrable construction
and grammar of the sentence.
Then again take this resolution ofencomium on the
present state administration 1--WE hereby commend
the present administration for the successful manner
IN which the states business has been transacted and
which is largely factor in the Development pro-
yress and prosperity of Idaho" Our good friend
Brady has demonstrated to the complete satisfaction
# EVERYONE his absolute control of the republican
,arty of the State. We desire most kindly to offer
suggestion He had better trust some members of
