moore A few scrub dealers still cling to the old system but they stick on tho the prices to get even and thus receive as they deserve the denunciations of honest men and should be severely let alone as they are ard by all who stop a moment to consult their own interests or aitu feudy dy the lules iules of justice wo wc hope exhibitions of arrant selfishness such as hao haio ha o come from the opponents of the dust reduction will not be the rule if it is the duty of our miners mancra to do any one thing right besides dig that duty i is to fo turn their commodity into coin before trying to

and no doubt ho he knows as well a as his constituents that he bo could not have perpetrated a more ridiculous joke upon his suppo itei 65 m in idaho idaho than the recommending of murphy for governor it is hoped tho the day of rule of safe thieves and whisky bloats is tolerably well played out in idaho and that hereafter mw mal will havo have voice in the matter aiom the fenian ranks which is ra
