TITLE TO BELLEVUE LOTS.
Another Point Raised Against the Valid
ity OF the Deeds Issued by Judge Dill.
lar

A"Usncr TOlnt 1salSeO Against the valid
ity Of the Deeds Issued by Judge Dill.
ley.
1t seems that the issuance of deeds
to Bellevue lots by Probate Judge
Dilley in advance of the receipt of the
patent is not the only question that
will be raised against the validity OF
the title conveyed by him. Another,
and equally important point, is being
raised, to wit: the legality of the ap-
pointment of S. b. Dillev as Probate
Judge. This Apo. n.ment, it is
claimed, was in contravention of sec.
ton 8 of the Organic Act of Idaho,
which reads as follows:
Section 8. And be it further enact
ed, That no member of the Leyisla-
tive Assembly shall hold or be APP
pointed to any Office which shall have
been created, or the salary or cmolu-
ments of which shall have been in
creased, while he was member, dur
ing the term for which he was elected.
and for one year after the expiration
OF such term; but this restriction shall
not be applicable to members of the
first Legislative Assembly; and no
person holding a commission or ap-
polntment under the United States,
except postmasters, shall be mem
Der OF the Legislative Assembly, or
shall hold any Office under the gov
eminent of said Territory.
Mr.. D;lley was elected member of
the Territorial Legislature for the
term Of 1872, which only expired
last December, and during that term
voted upon bill brought before the
Legislature making the salary of the
Probate Judge of Alturas county
5000. Heretofore it had been with
out salaried compensation. At the
close of the session Mr.. Dilley was APP
pointed Probate Judge.
Under the provisions of the act
quoted, Judge Dilley was disqualified
from holding the position of Probate
Judge, but he nevertheless did ac
cept the office, and served as such un-
til January |, 1888. His acts as Pro-
bate Judge are therefore, it is held, H.
legal and void, and the validity of the
titles granted by him as Probate
Judge to L. S. lands in the town Of
Bellevue is disputed.

The Presidents message, so-called,
but which is evidently almost wholly
made up in this instance by cabinet off
GERS and department clerks, is about as
barren of original ideas as bill for mer-
chandise, and such parts of it as contain
original recommendations of any i'm
portance, to the citizens of the United
States generally. are in hewrong. He
recommends the constitution of coast
defenses as means of distributing a
portion of the surplus revenues. The
United States has no more need of coast
defenses than John L. Sullivan has for
cannon in his dooryard. He recon-
mends buying up the trade dollars at
snch a price that the spectators who
engineered the raid upon the dishon-
ored coin will make profit of Is to 20
per cent. which is certainly unjust. He
recommends the organization of militia
in the States to be under the control of
the federal authorities, a sort of nation
al guard, contrary to the spirit and
theory of Democratic institutions, and
menacing thereto. He indirectly con-
demns the idea of postal telegraph,
wherein he again runs counter to the
demands of the people. These subjects
concern and interest the whole people
and are about the only ones in the mes
sage in which the recommendations
made are of any accountant they are
wholly wrong. Mr. Arthur is evident
ly better acquainted with piscatorial
affairs than the wishes of the American
people. Penny Press.

A Republican Disappointment,

New York Herald Gnd.): If the De-
mocratic leaders have energy and intel
ligence the caucus action of last evening
means a sweeping Democratic victory
next year. For the first time in many
years there is before the party a fair
prospect of such popular favor as they
have long been seeking by many devil
GUS and false roads. At last they are on
the right track. The caucus vote will
surprise great many people. The re-
suit is a severe disappointment to the
Republican politicians, who cxclaim
illogically, but loudly, that it gives
them the next presidency. But the
Republicans have one comfort they
gave complimentary Endorsement to
Mr.. Keifer yesterday. They can never
be lonely while they have Mr.. Keifer

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process sofmanufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only iudteh case made
under his process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
james Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap gOId-,Oashed or eleetrO-pIdted article,
but was made Of genuine gold plates Of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence TO the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. -.,u y v,x

THE NORTHWEST.

THE colOred brother seems to thrive
on soldier fare. The United States Sur
geon Generals report says that the four
Colored regiments in our army were the
healthiest, and had the least percentage
of sickness and of deaths from disease.
Of the whites 3S in each 1000 on the
aveage were constantly under treatment
in the hospitals; of the blacks only 30 in
each 1, 900. Six colored men died from
disease to seven whites. But this is
reversed in the case of wounds, for five
colored soldiers died, on an average, to
every three whites.

MIR. TILDEN'S FREE GIFT.
His Gramercy Park Property Intend
ed for the City.
The Magnificent Property, With His
Books, to go to New York as
Public Library.

NEW YORK, December 1.-There has
been much speculation of late concern
ing the purpose of Mr.. Samuel J. Til
den in metamorphosing his comfortable
old house in Gramercy Park and build
ing an elaborate addition to it. To-day
a gentleman, well known for his position
in the Democratic party, and as one of
Mr.. Tilden's oldest and most intimate
friends, said to a World reporter:
Some time ago Mr.. Tilden's library
began to reach such proportions that
serious encroachments We're made on
the living rooms of his old house. He
had always intended to leave his books
to the city for public library. After
much consideration he concluded that
no better site for library could be
found than his old house, if it was only
large enough. He secured the adjoin-
ing building, took Vaux, the architect,
into his confidence, and the result is
that Mr.. Tilden has handsome struc-
ture, so designed that he can continue
to enjoy his old comforts and the loved
society of his books the remainder of
life. When he goes it will be found
that the house is admirably adapted for
a library and literary institute.
"But does not Mr.. Tilden expect to
live many years YETI"
"Mr. Tilden is not q fool. None
knows better than he that man of
seventy can't last very long. 1t is
quite true, as Watterson says, that he
would not accept the presidency if he
We're called upon to do so by every man,
woman, and child in the country"
T. ~ =.
tics, then?'
"No, he continues to take the deepest
interest in the welfare of the country
and in the success of the Democracy. V.
Samuel J. Tilden is now, and hence
forth will be content to be, an interested
spectator"
"Has he completed any arrangements
for the transfer of his house and library?'
He has perfected all arrangements.
Under his will the Gramercy Park
house and his splendid library will be
left in trust to the city for public Ii
brary. In this, to some degree, he fol-
lows the example of John Jacob Astor,
in founding the Astor Library, and of
Peter Cooper, in erecting the Cooper
Union. The Tilden institution will diff
fer, however, from Others of its kind in
many particulars. This is known, how
ever, only to the trustees, and do not
think the time has yet come to divulge
the contents of the trust deed"
"Who are the trustees?'
"Three of Mr.. Tilden's old and valued
friends Mr.. Henry Watterson, of
Kentucky; Mr.. Manton Marble, and
Mr.. John Bigelow, of this city,"
"Can you give me some idea of the
value of Mr.. Tilden's proposed gift?"
"He has spent about $500,000 on the
buildings, his books are worth nearly
100000, comprising as they do the
most extensive private library in the
country. The property as it stands is
worth 81 100000. The amount of the
endowment will be ample, assure
you"

THE enterprise of James Gordon Ben
nett and Mr.. Mackey il putting an end
to the Atlantic cable monopoly by their
contract to have cable laid from Ire
land to Nova Scotia, and thence to the
United States, is generally applauded
in Europe. 1t is charged that the pres
ent Anglo American cable company
has lived entirely by q career of finan-
ciering. 1t has bought up one cable en-
terprise after another, and its career has
been continuous struggle to create an
artificial monopoly. The Bennett
Mackey cable, when laid, will take half
of the business, and even at reduced
rate a good percentage will be paid on
the cost.

If the choice of Mr.. Carlisle for
Speaker in the Democratic caucus Sat-
urday night, has any significance beyond
the personal ambition which entered
into the rivalry, itmeans that there is
~ determination among members of the
dominant party in Congress, to do
something towards lifting the burden of
taxation laid upon the shoulders of
every consumer in the country.
While the issue was tariff re-
form, it is not likely that radical
measures will be adopted, but that, in
stead, the policy indicated by t . Ohio
Democratic platform and since endorsed
by other States, will be made the basis
of reforms which will prove, beneficial
to the country at large. Toledo Post.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.
New Managing Editors for Three New
York City Journals.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-A number of
changes have taken place in the per-
sonnel of some of the New York dailies
within the past few days. Mr.. Joseph
Pulitzer, of the World, has completed
his staff by placing Col. Johnny Cock
erell, who obtained his military title as
a member of the gallant staff of
Governor Allen, of Ohio, in charge
of that paper, and making Mr.. G. A.
Snowdod, formerly of the Chicago
Times, and more recently of the Wash
ington Republican, Col. Cockerell's as
sistant. Having done this Mr.. Pulitzer
expects to sail for Europe as soon as his
wife's somewhat delicate health will
permit and it is said to be his desire to
remain abroad four or five years.
Mr.. E. T. Flynn, who has for some
time past represented Mr.. James Cor
don Bennett as managing editor of the
Herald, sailed for Europe Wednesday
ON the Arizona, and Mr.. Ballard Smith
is to be hereafter known as the man in
charge of that paper.
The third newspaper change which
has occurred this week is found in the
Tribune yesterday, as follows: "Mr.
Isaac III. Bromley, who has been for
over ten years past a valued member of
the editorial staff of this Journal, is to
assume the editorship-in-chief of the
New York Commercial Aduert;ser, be-
ginning Monday next"
Mr.. John Hastings, a nephew of the
late editor, remains in charge of it, un-
der the new control. Mr.. Bromley sue
ceeds the following distinguished list of
editors on that paper: Noah Web
ster, Iachariah Lewis, William
l.. Stone, Francis Hall, William
Henry Hurlbert, Thurlow Weed, Hugh

once of the grossest stupidities of all the
legislation on our postal affairs is that
which requires the post office in which a
letter is deposited with insufficient post
age, to open correspondence with the
person to whom such letter is addressed,
informing him that a letter awaits his
attention, on which there is due post
age to the amount general of one cent.
The Government forwards this missile
to the same destination that the letter
with insufficient postage could have
just as well been carried, and the delin-
quent amount collected there, but the
stupid law compels the payment of a
three cent postage rate by an innocent
party as penalty for the delinquency
ofhis correspondent. And yet our pos
tai system is pronounced perfect!
