Disputes about what happened at discussion
where only two people present are in the nat
ure of the case vexatious and indeermnate. Earl
Carnarvon and Mr.. Parnell cannot settle their con-
troversy as the exact character of the conditions
which were proposed on one side or the other at
the meeting between them. nor is 1t necessary to
hold that either of them is guilty OF mlsrepresenta-
ton because their recollcctions do not agree. 1t
may however, be inferred without much strainlng
of the facts now public. that Mr.. Parnell had rea-
son to expect overtures from the Conservative Cab
met; that some members of that Cabinet took
special palus if not to further such overtures then
to create the belief in Mr.. Parnclls mind that this
was the intention; that Mr.. Parncll was not the
dupe of these subtcrfuges; and that possibly the
Conservative trick was carried somewhat beyond
the line of safety. Earl Carnarvon may have been
more sinned against than SHINING in this affair." but
IT can hardly be doubted that OF his colleagues
were wiling to undertake what many would con-
slider piece of rather dirty work

The bureau report OF condition and acreage of
cotton is examined by The Financial Chronicle,
which finds that an increase of 1.52 per cent IN
acreage is indicated making the area for this year

indicate very hopeful prospect. though more de-
ponds upon climatic influences this season than Is
usual. because of the backward state of the plant

said on Saturday: AS soon as we can get good

1t is altogether fitting that the centennial
anniversary of the organization of our Govern
ment under the Constitution, which will fall on
April 80, 1889, should be appropriately cee-
brated Mr.. Hewtt's resolution for the APP
pointment of a joint committee of the Senate
and the House to take the matter into consider
alton is therefore timely. The celebration will
take place in this city, since it was on the site
of the Sub Treasury that Washington took the
oath of office. The Chamber of Commerce has
already taken action concerning the celebration
and It's committee has partly arranged the
outline Of programme. Probably this com
mittee and the one proposed by Mr.. Hewitt
viii, find it easy to work in entire harmony.
The member of Lord Salisbury's Cabinet
whose views are quoted i'll a special cable dis
patch to THE TRIBUNE takes direct Issue with
Mr.. Gladstone as to the Premier's statement
concerning the origin of his Home Rule policy.
This cx minister calls attention to the fact that
it was not on a question relating to Ireland that
the Salisbury Government were defeated, and
insists that Mr.. Gladstone alone was respOn-
sIble for placing the Irish question in the fore
ground to the exclusion of every other, by
joining with tie Nationalist although he had
made every effort to secure majority in
depeDdenty of the Irish members All this is
apart from the main queston-coerciOn or self
government for Ireland. Lord Salisbury's
Government went down on another matter it
is true, but it was while the Coercion Act that
had been announced was pending, and the
defeat was the more crushing because 1t
occurred on the last question on which the
Government woald have preferred to make the
test. 1t was the proposed policy of coercion
that forced the Irish question into the fore

The Silver King.

Since our last issue we have
learned that one lot Of ore with the
first shipment from the Silver
King mine to the Philadelphia
shelters, went 1920 ounces per ton.
1920 ounces more than the Tribune
correspondent allowed. Also we
have been informed by Mr.. G. B.
Florence, Of Sawtooth that Tie ore
slipped has been very carefully
assorted. The columns Of the
KEYSTONE are always open to both
sides of question, and while our
article last week was PUBLISHED on
good authority we consider 1T our
duty to state the remarks of Mr..
Florence, as one residing at Saw
tooth and very capable of learning
facts regarding the output of that
camp. The question now naturally
arises would it not be more expen-
sive IN any case to work the entire
dump at SO much per ton, than to
cast out improbable rock and les
sen the expense Of reduction cor
respondingly to the decreased
weight Of the ore? If the ore cast
out is worth less than the cost OF
reduction this rule certainly applies,
and if not, question may arise
as to whether it is more profitable
to work the ore in one market or
the other. Mr.. Vernum, of the
Sawtooth Mining & Milling Co., is
a good man for Sawtooth and W.
are interested sufficiently in the
success of the company and the
! outcome of Sawtooth to wish that
he might work ever pound of ore
IN that country. Our interests,
though separated by a range of
mountains, are largely indentical.
The development Of Sawtooth and
the surrounding region depends
upon inst such live, energetic men
and the whistle of the sawtooth
mill will enspire many hand to
action. Ketchum wants to see her
neighbors do well and to see the
hills up there pour out millions.
The local interest manifested in
competition for ore is natural but
should not interfere with the COM
mon development of the country.

Robbed.

Martin B. Woolsey, a young man
engaged in selling vegetables from
the Quigley ranch, near HALEY,
was in Ketchum Wednesday with a
load, and while eating dinner left
histeam near Metzler's stable. Upon
returning he claims to have missed
from a satchel under the seat,
where always kept such money as
was taken in on vegetables, the
sum of 1926, composed of a ten
dollar gold piece, a five dollar
greenback and 1928 in silver.
Deputy Sheriff Cassidy was at
once informed Of the loss, but as
yet no clue to the taker has been
found. Such criminal daring as

Al about II O'Clock Wednesday
night, and by the time the inmates
Of Bakers Hotel and the one per-
son sleeping in the First National
Bank were fairly asleep, a sudden
and violent crash was heard be-
tween the two buildings and chen a
succession of irregular footsteps on
the tin roof of the bank. Various
theories flashed through the minds
Of the disturbed sleepers as to the
probable cause of the commotion,
and everything from a bank bur-
glar to dynamiter was suggested
by the half frightened throng Of
guests who tumbled into the halls
Of the hotel. Captain Baxter was
lying awake and immedi-
ately rushed up stairs, and follow
ing the sound Of footsteps went out
onto the veranda. There with a
lamp over his head he looked up
and behold a wild looking individ-
ual standing in a most frightened
manner upon the corner of the
front of the bank, about thirty feet
above the sidewalk. Mr.. Baxter
shouted, "Who are you? What
are you doing up there? Come
down or you're liable to get shot.
He then turned to get ladder, but
instantly the fellow jumped and
landed by his side. The distance
was about ten or twelve feet. Mr..
Baxter grabbed him by the collar,
and, recognizing him as a lodger,
conducted him to a room. The
fellow was now fully awake, and
for the first time fully realized that
be had performed some terrible
fea4. Slight stains of blood on his
hands showed signs of struggle
| at some stage Of the game and the
night shirt brigade, Captain Bax-
ter, now fully represented, went tc
room is, where Mr.. Layalle had
retired, to find the entire half o.
the window and curtain demolished
and complete evidence that the
gentleman had made a desperate
/ leap from his room to the roof o.
/ the First National Bank, about
five feet distant and four or five
feet higher than the window. 1t il
not known whether he jumped
through the window or smashed i
before jumping. The latter il
probable. An upturned brick anc
a few drops Of blood Oh the wall 0
the bank showed tile dcsperat,
struggle he must have made, afte
reaching the wall with his hands, t
keep from falling to the grounc
thirty feet below. 1t seems tina
Mr.. Lavalle, just from Challis, wa
seized with dreadful hallucina
ton that the house was falling t.
pieces and that he must leap 70
life. The foregoing account des
cribos what followed. The excite
ment over, Captain Baxter com
manded the night shirt brigade t
break ranks and dispense, whicI
order was promptly obeyed.

and proved a very creditable enter
tainment. 1t was also a financial
success, about .$45 having been

win make a good starter for the
Sunday School fund. We shall
not attempt to pass judgment upon
the several parts Of the programme,
but cannot pass over the final
tableau, which, together with the

well managed. Particular graft

VIENNA, Idaho, July II, 1886.
EDITOR KErcHUM KEYSTONE -
The weather has been exceedingly
warm for the last two weeks and
nearly all the snow has melted, and
even the north sides Of the hills
arc now almost entirely bare. Pros
pectors can go anywhere in the
Sawtooth mountains that they may
wish to, but there are at present
very few men prospecting in this
vicinity. ! do not believe q better
place could be found in all Idaho
for the prospector than the head
waters of the many branches Of the
South Boise River, within ten miles
ofthe towns Vienna andSawtooth.
A few days ago Mr. Kelley and
myself accepted an invitation to
visit Messrs. J. T. Cochran and
Geo. A. Williams, who are mining
about five miles from Vienna, on
the South Boise. Those gentle
men, with S. G. Erving, Of Salt
Lake, own the Diamond Prince
mine. which / think is frst-class
of property. They have run a tun-
mel and open cut into the hill some
forty feet, and are now sinking a
shaft at the breast Of the tunnel.
They have vein from the
surface varying from five to eigh-
teen inches Of very high grade ore,
running from 100 to many thous-
and ozs. per ton. Three assays on
second-class ore they had been
leaving on the dump as too poor to
sack and ship, went, No I, $50 ozs. +;
