ment, Irrespective of persons or titles. Who
ever overrides The law and derides the courts
by overt act against the peace of the COM
munity, whether he does, it as road agent or
Vigilante, is equally deserving of judicial
punishment, and we are for its administra-
ton.
The Post furnishes some statistics about
mortality in this county and Territory. as a
basis for its summary operations. We have
seen some of those figures before. and need
hardly say, here, where the facts are known,
that they are fictitious. Whoever first start
ed those figures in circulation might as we'll
have called the number 5000 as 300. Such
extravagant assertions are simply foolish
Idaho Territory contains remarkably peace
able community. Compare it with Nevada
Colorado, or even Montana. For every MUIR
der ehronicled in these columns during the
past two years, we think the columns of the
Post will show double or treble. Yes, even
Montana, thel fayorite, fruitful field of Vigi-
lanteism, the object of the vainglorioUs boast
ing of the Post, at no period of its history,
could show such crime less record as Idaho
Territory has from its earliest settlement down
to this day. There is occasionally a shoot
ing scrape, as there is in all communities,
and especially in the mining districts; but
they are comparatively seldom. When we
consider the number of our people, it is ratb
er astonishing that there is not more homi-
Oides, than less-and yet we have never had
a working Vigilance Committee in South.
Idaho until recently. We undertake to say,
and believe we can substantiate it with fig
ures, that there has been less crime commit
ted in Idaho Territory during the past two
years, than in any of the mineral bearing
Territories in the United States. Admitting
all that the Post claims as the benefcent re-
suits of its strangling machine, that paper
can find no excuse for the extension of its
rule over this Territory. There is no call or
cause for it.
Perhaps we may furnish the Post with an
other item of Information. There is some
thing more than desire for the suppression
of criminals involvedsin the operations of the
Committee in Idaho. Whatever it may have
been in Montana, it is here a political organ
ization, gotten up for the benefit of7old, worn
out, worthless and repudiated politicians, to |
be used as an engine to carry the Summer
elections. If there had been no election to
come OF next August, there would have been
no Vigilance Committee in Idaho Territory
to- day. The Post car understand from this
fact, one reason why the organization has to-
tally failed to inspire any confidence in the
purity of its motives, or the justice of its
deeds, on this side of the Rocky mountains.
The people have given the Vigilante ergani-
zation better, fairer trial, in their own
minds than the members ever gave any of
their victims, and they have condemned it.
