MOrmOnS Barred by Republicans.

A clipping in The Scimitars scrap books under
date of February IA, 1892 at Boise City, Idaho in
dicates something of conditions prevailing at that
time regarding the Mormon question:
The republican league of Idaho was formed here
today. One of the most interesting incidents of the
day the rejection of the credentials of the dele
gates from the league club from Paris, Bear Lake
county, upon the ground that the club is controlled by
blgamous Mormons. The matter called forth much
debate, but it evident that the sentiment of the
convention against the Mormons.
The action of the convention is considered inn
portant, as it is supposed to embody the views of
United States Attorney Wood upon the right of
members of the Mormon church to exercise the
right of suffrage under the Idaho constitution and
the act of the last legislature.
The convention endorsed HarriSon's admnistra-
ton, reciprocity, protection and Chinese exclusion.
After the constitution adopted these officers were
elected: President, Edgar Wilson of Boise of
the most prominent lawyers in the state vce-pres-
dents, J. I. Barnes of Kootenai, A. D. Scott of Bing
ham, l. A. Funk of Latah and C. Glenn of E1more
corresponding secretary, Charles A Shaffer, who is

HE FOUND HIS WATCH.

An Irishman, resident of New Jer-
sey, reported to the Chief of Police
that he had lost a gold watch which he
priced highly because it was an heir
loom. The Chief, impressed with the
mans grief over his loss, told him he
would leave no stone unturned until
the watch was found. The Irishman
went home and found the watch
where he had mislaid it. Thinking
to relieve the police Of any concern,
he hurried back to the police station.
On the way he encountered a force Of
men replacing the cobblestone pave
ment between the trolley tracks. Pat
gazed at them in establishment, and
then he called to the foreman in
charge: stop pullin' up thin stones;

A POLITICAL FORECAST

There will be lot of efforts to fill PEG
pies eyes with dust;
There will be a lot of scolding of the
wicked shameless trust;
We shall hear that Tafts puppet,
that he has no sense of shame,
But we think that he will carry Penn
sylvania, all the same.
There will be beclouded issues; we
shall hear spellbinders roar,
Hidebound partisans will tremble as
they've trembled heretofore;
We shall hear that Bryan's reckless,
that he's dopey, that he's daft,
But we think he'll carry Texas and
win Florida from Taft.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH-TO.
DAY.

Under the spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands,
But Mr.. Smith, oh! where is he?
Abroad in foreign lands
Disbursing money in Paree
With both his brawny hands.
His nails are nicely manicured,
His tanned face gets massage
From Wallets def included in
His princely encourage,
For now his blacksmith shops become
The only two garage.
Week In, week out, from morn till
night,
You can hear his victims roar
Because the tolls his helpers charge
Afflicts their souls full sore;
But though they howl and kick and
swear,
They end by paying more.
He goes on Sunday to the church
When home, and has a pew,
For which he pays weekly rent
OF seven ninety two
Simoleons, which little gait
Is going quite a few.
He doesn't these days sit among
His. daughters or his boys,
Because in high society
They now are all the noise,
And singing in the village choir
Is not among their joys.
But as the revenue comes in
From sundry milllonaires
Whose automobiles suddenly
Are found to need repairs
A very tidy part of 1t
Is blown in by his heirs.
