a Story About Washington.
From the independent


There is an unpublished story Of
Washington, told ME by descendant
of the ancestor who is in the story,
which represents the great general in
the pleasant family life we have all
liked to contemplate, and not as the
grand man and hero at the head of his
army. It was when Washington, after
the Revolutionary war, was travelling
through Connecticut and visited Hart
ford, staying at the Bulls tavern there.
4 boy came into the kitchen of the
tavern and said: II want to see Gen.
Washington
The functionary on duty did not pro-
pose to let any mere boy see Gen.
Washington merely for the asking, and
said as much.
"But have note for him." renon-
strated the boy.
From whom?"
"My father, Chief Justice Ellsworth. !"
"Oh-well," and the functionary re-
Tented. Gen. Washington read the
notes and said to the boy: "Your father
invites me to dinner. will do no more
than that, will go and breakfast with
him."
And he did the next morning. And
after breakfast he took the twin sons of
the justice, each on q knee and sang to
them the "Derby RAM" an old English
ballad, beginning: ''Itwas on a market
day." and setting forth that the Ram
of Derby was so big that the birds built
nests in the wool on his back and the
butcher who undertook to kill him was
drowned in the blood.

4 Colored Boy Killed by the Train Near
Union.

UNION, June Plat 2 a. m. We'd
nesday the north-bound passenger
train, after leaving the depot, ran
against Ed Miller, colored, knocking
him violently off the track, breaking
several ribs-his jaw bone and his
skull, it appears that the boy was sleep
ing upon the track, or drunk, and
hearing the train coming, he raised
himself on his hands and feet, apparent
ly trying to get off the track. He was
in this position when last seen by the
engineer. AS there is a curve in the
railroad track, and as the train was get
ting under full headway, being behind
time, it was impossible for the engineer
to stop the train. The cowcatcher ran
under the body, knocking it off the
track.

AMERICAN MILLIOSAIEEs.
Their Great Fortunes of Recent Accuinula-
tion-Jay Gould the Richest in the
World.

In the May number Of the most I'M
portant of French Reviews, the Reven-
ue DeX Deux Mondes, there is an elabo-
rate paper by N. G. de Varigny on
''The Great Fortunes of the United
States" of which the New York Sun
gives an interesting synopsis, with some
necessary corrections which are likely
to prove more instructive than pleasing
to the author.
NJ. de Varigny starts out by referring
to the message Of Mr.. Cleveland upon
the surplus aid the tariff as document
brought out by situation unique III
history, the necessity Of depicting Il
national treasury overhowing with
money. From that he proceeds to dis
cuss as an analogous phenomenon the
accumulation of enormous capital IN
the hands Of 4 small number of men.
For centuries, he says, the Angio-SaXon
race have been distinguished for pre-
presenting al unenviable contrast be-
tween the greatest fortunes and the
profoundeSi poverty and wretchedness;
but now, though the largest number OF
milIionaires are to befound in England,
as statistics show, the American for
tunes are in the first rank as to magnl-
tude. So vast have these modern for-
tunes become that the term millionaire
has taken on a new Specification. Men
who have set about building up a for
tune in leisurely way will be more or
less gratifed to learn that they have
lost valuable time in the effort to estab-
lish their position in the ranks Of the
truly rich, and may still hope to repose
some day sin Beelzebub's bosom," as
the pious old lay mistakenly expressed
it.
4 millionaire, We are assured, no
longer means man who possesses one
million of francs in France, Of lires IN
Italy, of roubles in Russia, Of dollars
with us. According to "the modern
phraseology, started by Sir Morton
Peto and James McHenry, and adopted
in England and the United States," he
is the possessor Of 81, 900, 900 in England,
S5,OO0,0O0 in this country, and $4,000, 900
francs in France. This slight change IN
terms, it will be seen at once, is full OF
comfort to large class Of citizens ofthe
five countries named, and will doubt
less enable many of their number to
regard the eye of a needle hereafter
without the painful reflections which
that small object has hitherto inspired
in their breasts, if indeed it will not
henceforth appear to them to be quite
as pleasant and roomy as the door of the
average circus menagerie, for instance.
Following the new standard, NJ. de
Varigny estimates that out of total of
700 the proportionate number of mil
~ +ria ;s.

The Independent Newspaper.

An erroneous and silly idea
seems to prevail in political circles
that the province of the independ-
ent newspaper is to have nothing
to say. or at least touch very gin
gerly upon political affairs. The
Nampa Progress thus disposes of
this delusion so far as the Progress
is concerned:
In making favorable mention Of
the name of J. A. Davis for assem-
blyman, we have been criticised by
some of our republican friends as
assisting the opposition. They
seem to think they have q mort
gage on us. All the claims which
the republican party ever had up
on us have been paid in full, and
we are free; free to work for the
best interests of the country. 1t is
from firm conviction that j. A.
Davis in the legislature will be the
right man in the right place that
we advocate his election. His ideas
are correct npon all the local issues
which materially affect the inter-
ests of the people Of Ada county
and Idaho.:Territory, and no con-
sideration will swerve him from his
purpose or prevent him from voting
for the peoples best interest.

Comfy Commissioners Elected By
Districts.

The opinion having become quite
general that in the election of
Board of County Commissions this
fall, the whole vote of the county
would be cast for each Commits
sioner, and that they would not be
elected by districts, the matter was
referred to r. z. Johnson, Attorney
General, for a decision.
Mr.. johnson says that it is clear
ly the intent Of the law that the
Commissioners shall be elected by
the voters in each district in the
county. This is also the opinion
of Hon. John S. Gray, one of the
Revision Commission.
The first district is composed of
Boise City precinct.
The second district is composed
of Caldwell, Nampa, kuna, Pom,

STRAINS.

There is nothing to be gained by
the people of this county in chang
ing the personnel of the present
Board Of County Commissioners,
and a great deal may be lost. If
any person in the county has a
well-grounded complaint to make
against the present Board, The
Tribune has not heard it. On the
other hand there are scores of our
citizens, of all parties, who are out
spoken in their praise of the able
management of county affairs. Two
of the members of the present Board
H. X. Hartley and W. G. John
son-are candidates for reelection.
There can be no doubt but that
their election means good county
management for at least two years
more. Vote for them.

Judge Buck of Lewiston, has ac-
cepted nomination as an in
dependent candidate for dele
gate to Congress. The Judges
platform is annexation Of North
Idaho to Washington. Judge Buck
is an honest and able man, UNI
doubtedly sincere in his views.
There is no good reason why he
should not appear as an annexs-
ton candidate, and no good reason
why he should not receive the vote
of every annexationist. Neither
the republican nor democratic Ter
ritorial platforms offer any in

The leading political sensation in
the east the past week has been the
following letter from the British
Minister at Washington, in reply to
letter from a supposed natural
lied Englishman residing in Cali
fornia, who asked the Minister'S adj
vice as to how he should vote, and
also his opinion of the Presi-
dents position on the fisheries, re-
taliation, and other anti-English
acts. The reply of the British
Minister was first made public on
the occasion of the Blaine-lrish
demonstration in New York city
last week: 1t is now conceded that
the "naturalized Englishman" part
of transaction is fraud-a repub-
lican trick to gain campaign thun-
der-bnt the British Minister'S re-
ply is genuine, and is being spread
broadcast in the Irish districts of
the east. Following is the letter;
SIR am in receipt of your let
ter of the 4th inst, and beg to say
that | fully appreciate the difficulty
in which you find yourself in cast
ing your vote. You are probably
aware that any political party
which openly favored the mother
country at the present moment
would lose popularity, and that the
party in power is fully aware of this
fact. The party, however, is, | be-
lieve, still DESTROYS of maintaining
friendly relations with Great
Braitain, and is still as DESTROYS Of
settling all questions with Canada
which have been unfortunately re.
opened since the retraction of the
treaty by the republican majority
in the senate and by the Presidents
message, to which you allude. All
allowances must, therefore, be made
for the political situation as regards
the Presidential election thus ere
ated. It is, however, impossible tc
predict the course which President
Cleveland may pursue in the mat
ter of retaliation should he be elect
ed, but there is every reason to be

1t is a matter of record to the
credit of Tom. Catalan that in all
his history as prosecuting attorney
of this county he never quashed an
indictment. Every case reported
by the grand jury received his rigid
inspection, and if it possessed no
merit the matter ended right there
and thus hundreds of dollars of fees
saved. With Tom. Catalan in

One Of the most important and
exciting political campaigns in the
history of the United States will
close next Monday night and on
the day following over ten millions
of votes will be cast for the pur-
pose of determining who shall be
the chief servant of the people for
the next four years, and also deter
mine the policy of the government.
For the first time for a quarter of a
century, the voters of the country,
can deposit their ballots, foreor-
dained with the knowledge that no
matter upon which side the victory
rests, peace and prosperity is as
sured. The possessor of views
diverse to this must be possessed of
a very morbid nature, has no faith
in his fellowman, in short, is mis-
cradle fool. Four years of democ-
racy in the presidential chair, and
a democratic control of one or both
branches of Congress for the last
fifteen years, has satisfied all can
did and Independent men that
democratic management is fully
equal to republican management
certainly not inferior-and this is
not saying much for it. Parties do
not make good government in the
United States, it is the plain, sober
sturdy, common-sense OF the Amer
lean people that has made this gov
eminent the strongest on earth; and
such it will remain no matter who
is elected chief magistrate next
Tuesday.
