Right of Suffrage to 1 he Democrat states that a fight will be made this winter to give the right of suffrage to the women of Idaho. Mrs. Dunniway will be at the capital in person, it is said, to work to that end.

Such a law ought to be enacted. I axation without representation is injustice. Some fools argue that women are not endowed sufficiently with the kind of intelligence that is required to grapple with tangled political questions. Probably this erroneous notion was based on the fact that they are not imbibers of brain-expanding tangle-foot, that figures so prominently in campaigns and flows so freely as a political influencer and inspirational agent. The kind of cattle that brilliantly argue that women are not, by nature, competent to vote intelligently are 'most all akin to the kind that are voted like swine, or the class that are bought like cattle, but a good deal cheaper, generally.

Each one of this class, and its numbers are frequently quite numerous, is handed a ballot privately marked, and he exercises the high, priceless(?) privilege of a free mun(?) by depositing a ballot he has not read and for which he is sometimes paid the high price of a dollar and six bits. Then there is another if any difference, than the last they have no price, save that of a sufficient quantity of stupefying, "dizzifying" stomach corroding, fiery stagger water of the cheapest and most effective kind to put each individual of the priceless class in a condition to be an exceedingly felicitous, bright, independent, free-thinking and highly intelligent sort of an ani-tnule and altogether quite competent to exercise the privileges of a free man, when it comes to the aid of an accommodating ballot fixer and a pair of burley, kind-hearted, awfully honest and "free-vote-and-fair-count" American citizens of the kind who frequently yell "fraud! and yell it loud and the aid of this pair, to gently pack him to the polls, or lead or drag him if the aid, in addition, of a few scads, previously given, to brace him up and get him in proper condition to be turned over to the ballot fixer all this necessary assistance he deposits the will of a free man not entirely free, but nearly enough to be called such, for he was bought for only a very few paltry given avvav, so, practically speaking, without being exactly, and strictly correct theoretically, he is a free man. The spectacle of two strong, stalwart, and highborn American citizens dragging his limbered manly form to the polls, as the final act in exercising the great and priceless privilege for him, for they have previous to this kindly placed a ballot in his manly right hand (and in his loose-legged condition the intelligent son of Liberty probably knows that he is expected to poke that piece of paper through a hole in a window, or some other opening, without knowing its contents, and probably he doesn't, but any way he knows his kind guardians do know, and will instruct him at the proper say such a touching and pathetic spectacle of the free and highly intellectual exercising of the elective franchise virtuallv by proxy, and the humane kindness of the two noble-hearted citizens who tug away uncomplainingly and with laudable energy and the great tenacity of staywithem sticktoemativeness at the manly but limp form that has had the starch of stamina completely taken out of it by being internally and unduly soaked with softly soothing political influence in a liquid enough to bring tears to the eye of an Early Rose potato, or cause lacteal fluid to flow from the eye of a cold, steel, strap pick. There is another kind and he is kind and obliging and easily pulled by the nose, and without money or liquid, the large-hearted, big-brained, high-browed bulldoser votes this free-horn or free-made backboneless so-called exerciser of the rights of an American, contrary to his sentiments. He "is forced to," he says, for the reason that the bulldoser "has a hold on him and will tighten the hold if he even so much as hints that he considers himself a free American politically." He must obey the bulldoser.

This fellow, without moral or physiccourage enough to look a dead election days, and know what kind of al mule in the hind foot, deposits that which is called the voice of a free man. If you have stood around the polls and in the vicinity thereof on work proves eflective previous to elections, and on the days of elections, you no doubt have been thoroughly convinced, by actual demonstrations of stalwart stamina anil glittering displays of tremendous intellectuality and the great freedom of the high-grade exercise of that grandest American elective women can never reach the high standard of competency of a certain per cent of male ballot, depositors of the breeds of intellectual animals described. We don't pretend to say that a majority, or any great percentage of voters are of the kinds pictured herein, but there are some, and we would like to see women vote so as to make elections more respectable, and counteract the evil effects resulting from the casting of ballots by low-grade male for it is alvvavs the ethee for it is always the office hunter with the hardest and most unscrupulous character that g'ets the majority of them. omen, as a rule, it is natnrillir ho 4-1 urally to be expected, would vote against corruptionists, and the atmosi phere around the polls would become ro tl i -n itmoie renned. It is so in all public .1 i gatherings, and why not at the polls? i 1 hose who argue that it is no fit place for women to be on account of rowing and rowdyism, perhaps have never thought that their presence would cause this feature of electicns to be a thing of the past.

Their worked that desirable change. It does at the polls as well as anywhere else. lri oad after, noon las while little Ezra Baird, aged eight years and several other companions, of his own age, were frolicking and playing on the bank of the Clearwater river at the foot of Eugene street, a serious misfortune befell little Ezra which caused instant death. From what we glean from the boys who were present we understand they had a fire built and were gathering small sticks to build up the fire, when Ezra espied a small stick propup a large log on the upper bank, which was laying on an incline. He endeavored, by little exertion, to pull this stick out, when the log commenced rolling rapidly, and before he could make his escape, it caught him, tripped him up and rolled over his head on the right temple, mashing in that side of his skull.

The little unfortunate was taken home, and Dr. Stirling summoned who, after an examination, pronounced him dead, and it is thought he never lived to know what killed him. The funeral took place from the Universalist church on Monday afternoon, and was largely attended, Rev. Mr. Fairchild officiating.

All the pupils in the primary department of the public school, of which he was a worthy and studious member, were present. Ezra was the eldest of three children, and onlv sou of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Baird of this I i city; a bright and intelligent boy, and a great favorite among his cornpanions.

The heart-stricken family have the sympathy of the entire community in this, their sad bereavement, .1 and it is assured that they have an angel in heaven who may call them and Teller. To our great surprise John Lemon, agent of C. O. 1. Stage Company, called on us yesterday morning looking quite well, fully as well as usual.

It will be remembered that Mr, Lemon went to Sydney, Nebraska, some three months ago to look after the interests of the C. O. I Stage Corni pany's matters in Nebraska, and while traveling with a double team ar.d buckboard, the team in a playful mood pressed or kicked against the tongue and broke it so that the broken end, next to the buckboard, struck the ground and throwed the buggy high up in the air landing Lemon a long distance from the buckboard, striking the ground head foremost and stunning him so that he was sensej less. The team stopped, but bis little boy who was with him was fastened in the buggy with lines, and appealed to his father to help him out. Lemon did so, but soon after fell over with his head between the wheels.

The boymanaged to pull his head away thinking the horses might start and run over him. Some person looking up stock saw the team and hoy and went to their assistance, and finally obtained help and a wagon and took Lemon to Sydney and sent for a doctor. Lemon lay unconscious for over three weeks, and the Doctor gave no encouragement that he would ever recover. But time brought him out and he is now well and able to attend to business as t- 777 Ex-Senator Wm. M.

But in a later edition, he qualified the assertion by excepting shoes. "Time never heels them," he said.
