A jiiimik over ill Idaho Iiiih iltt-iiltil
that tho patent on tin; cyaiiidt! rwuH

That Northiort'li llol contracl, wild
to liuvi Ih'cii let hint wwik to Allx'rt
iiitixcr, of linker City, limltx like a ruxo
to Ih'iiI tla; Mrikerx.
Ami now tlu! Navy loiirtiiiciit Iiiih
Itruvt'ly tlivitlol to rchiikc Captain For
nythc, a veteran with it cplcudid record
of forty yearn In the service, for telling
thu truth reniinlliiK the Srhl-y-SiuiipHon
eoiitniverny. Ho put thu Maine for
Htnrlln tho row on l-onj; and McKinley,
in pliieinn SauipHou over IiIh nenior olll

Ovkii near FohhII, thin ntate, u half

white woman hint week, and iiimih re
port hh! a ti that tho iH-opIo of that vicin
ity are limiting tlie I nine, lieitHt, with tho
avowed purN)Ho of lynching him. Ho
ought to Imi t-auglit. If ho, what will
thono moiiomauim'M on tho nuhject of
iwgrn lyiieliiug in tho South, tho alitor
of thu .SHikeHiuni.tevlow, for iiiHtanco,
linvo to Hay alMiut tliiii en no ?
Intiik AuguM niiuilier of thu Metal
Miner, piihllMhed at MiiiiieiiMiliH, there
!h an article rulalivo to an cnxtern Ore
pin mine, credited IoTiikHumtkii Minkii,
that never apMarcd in thene cohiinnH.
Thin MiuneiiHiliH paxr Iiiih taken the
ntory from Tiik Minkii, umtl a few mn
tenccH coiiUiIiunI therein and Inserted
vurioiiH falno HtntemeutHof itn own maim
fact lire. There Ih nothing tho mutter
with tho pniHirty involved, and there in
no uho lying uImmiI it. MiuiicuoliH hcoiiih
to U the breeding ground, the general
headtiiarterH, for fake mining wheinei.
Aiiain linker City mitiiiig oKratorH
are complaining that the knot-kern of
that town lire doing IniHiiieHH at the name
old bland. The only remedy for thin
Mate of alTuirn Ih to "knm-k the knock
'ih," cxmimo Ixith the method and the
men who are engaged in thin dirty work.
The plan adopted hy the iorn there, of
roiiHtiug the act mid nhielding the guilty
itrtlo, ixentirelyjtitile; It in like tiring
lilaiik eartridgeH at a moh tipnoff the
fact that the play Ih u bluff.
Ami now a neHmer agency in sell
ing a mrieit of "nyndlcate" Morien on
"ctitpietto on all ihtuhIouh," written by
Home New Vork woman who cIhIiiih to
Ih a muiiiher of the " inner Hooiul eir
tie." Tlila Htua and all of itx kind in
the verieHt tommy nit, arbitrary, cant
iron, often ailly, rule of conduct. Any
one with common bonne, who Iihh lived
iiuiong ptviple of culture and refinement,
known iiuUuctively what in the correct
tliinx ti do under all ordinary aoclal
virciuuiitaucv, and would aa aoon think
of conHulUog a work on hyaiology to
learn how to awallow, aa to look to aomo
of thtwe aelf-contitutd authorities on
etiquette for guidance in nodal convert
tioaalitiaa. The mere fact, however,
that uumaroua papera are now publish
tag theaa aHiclea ia evidence that many
fwojtlpof ao brwdlug at all are trying
to brcnk into what Ih popularly con
Hldured tho "charmed," uxcIuhIvo not
in reulity tho ntupld, vulgar "ptiHh."
And a whole lot of mich boorH havu huc
coodcd In thu effort.
That Portland town Ih a nino Hiot, for
a verity. In hint oveulug'H linker City
Hepiiblican Ih n coluiuu communication
from thu Hceretnry of, tho Portland
Chamber of Commerce, explaining that
that nugiiHt lxxly did endeavor to Hccuru
tlie next meeting of the International
Mining congrcHH that hu telegraphed
an invitation, which wan never deliv
ered. Hut the WebfiMitorn wero chy on
that $3000 giinmiiteo and were never in
thu running.
In thu Democrat of thiH morning Ih
piibliHhed a Htory from Portland to thu
effect that the noinily heralded, LowIh
mid Clark ceutennlul exMHltlon projio
cition in Hlumlicrlng; that thu gigantic
enterprim) Iiiih el ruck a Hiiag. And what
(Ioo.h the gentle reader HUpM)He ban put
it to Hleop? Why, thoxu hoiiIIchh cor
ioratioiiH, tlie iinaccommiNlatiiig rail
roadn, havu refused to Ihhiio piikhuh to
the coiuniiHMinncrH from Oregon, WiihIi-
iiigton and Idaho from their rcHective
hoiueH to Portland, ho that they can
meet there, join in a Hiirloin lecfHleiik
Hiipper at II p. in., and fix the whole
hiiNiucHH, put the bhow oil itn feet.
