The monntains-they proclaim
Idaho Judges.

The people of this Territory and especially
of this Judicial District have been miserably
neglected in regard to District judges
Smith of the Lewiston district is sale tobe
eatirely Incompetent. Parks who presided
at two terms of the court here has never been
resident of the Territory, and failed to- be
here at the regular July term, also at the
last February term, at times where there was
a large docket, and when both business of
public and private nature was urgent and.
important. Our Jail has contained many
prisoners, who were entitled to speedy trial.
The expense of. the county has been enor-
nous in keeping these prisoners. It is not
only defiant neglect of our people, but is
an insult. Judge Parks is said to be very
inferior man as to legal requirements, and of
but little decision Of character and possess
ing very small stock of mental force or
ability, and totally untitled for the position
here, where there is appropriation, and a
great variety of important questions arise
But his strong fort seems to be his intense
loyalty and deep devotion to the administra-
ton. It does seem that taking the judiciary
and other officials Of this Territory as APP
pointed by the President, that either the Ter
ritory is grossly and wilfully neglected in this.
respect, or else the partyin power has run
almost entirely out Of material.
We understand through person, of re-
speciality and standing who has just re-
turned from Illinois, where Parks resides, that
heliyes in little town~named lincoln, and
that he is unable there to make living in |
his practice and~that hewill return, although |
the law allowing docket fee of ten dollars
upon every suit instituted has been repealed
by the last Legislature. We hope for his
own self respect, and the interests of theg
people that he will notreturn. At the same
time we must have courts, and some man for
this purpose is better than none at all, and
we only hope that our "Lord and liege mas
ter" at Washington will appreciate audetake
this matter into consideration.
