Death of James Conger.

A dispatch from William Conger was
received at Wells yesterday announcing
the death of his son James at Helena =,
Montana. Mention was made in these
columns last Monday that Mr.. Conger
was summoned to attend the bedside of
his son who WAS dangerously i'll, though
it was hoped that his sickness was not
so serious as reported; but ms stated
above his death occurred yesterday.
Jimmie" as he was Familiarity called,
was one of this writer's pupils when he
taught the Wells school during the
Winter of 80 and 81, and was quiet,
Industrious student. In later years he
became somewhat of O rowing disposi-
ton, and made hosts of friends where
ever he went. The INDEPENDENT Joins

parents and friends of the young man

Drowned.

The citizens of Silver City were
startled on Wednesday evening about
8 o'clock, by the report that Frank
Stanford, of Reynolds Greek, this coun-
ty, and james Clements, of Dry Creek,
Ada county, were drowned inst below
Walters Ferry, on Snake River, about
z o'clock in the evening of that duy
while crossing CATTLE Idaho Ava
lancke.
Thad Porter was we'll acquainted
with the two young men mentioned
above, having worked with them. He
says that no less than seven men have
been drowned at this same place within
the past four years. Owing to the
peculiar formation of the river and d
bar which extends out into it, below
which tho water becomes dep very
suddenly, the crossing is a dangerous
one.

experience of new corners. Show me
another, and will show you one in
terested IN the sale of cheap whisky or
drugged lager! Show me another and
/ will show you pot-house politician
who wants more of the "boys" to call
him "Boss!" Show me one more, and
you shall see a man whose thinking
apparatus is devoted TO fanatical super
stition, while somebody's else head
thinks for him! On the other hand,
find man whose interest and sympa.
thies are identified with the public
welfare; who is honestly striving to
build up business and a home; and
who is intelligent enough 10 see that
his welfare and his family's are bound
mp in the general welfare. and he will
be man ready to vote for the restrict
ion OF immigration. The flooding of
the country with all sorts of foreign
populations, with no opportunity to as
simulate them, Is an evil so manifest
and so great that all classes Of minds
but the very lowest now recognize and
deplore it, and none more so than the
Intelligent citizen of recent foreign
perhaps even of foreign BIRTH
who is always surprised to see how the
ignorant and vicious of his own and
other lands have been permitted to
flood this country with an undesirable

TRUSTS AND TARIFF.

s. T. Post: The free trade press is
trying to make a strong point of the
fact that trusts have been formed to
control the price of number of pro-
,tected articles. From this they draw
the conclusion that "trusts" are the
o1t-growth of protection, and that the
way to smash the trusts is to abolish
the tariff.
As the objection of the free trade
Democrats is not SO much to trusts as
to protection, it is not surprising that
they conceal the facts of the case. The
free trade press fails to call attention
to the fact tina. the first and greatest If
the trusts, and the most insolent mo-
.nopoly of the world, is not protected
by the tariff at all The Standard OIL
Company, to which we refer, controls
the oil production OF the world, with
no tariff to help it. The anthracite
coal trust, that is scarcely less arrogant
than the oil octopus, is formed and
carried on without tariff.
Trusts exist with or without pro-
lection with almost the same facility.
The immense rewards that follow COM
bination are speedily makaing trusts a
matter of Importance to the world and
not to the nation alone. The free
traders can find how much or how
little effect the tariff may have by con-
siderlng the coffee corner that has
maintained that necessity treble its
natural price for nearly two years. A
combination of capitalists in Amster-
dam, New York and London have con.
frolled the markets of the world and
fixed their own profits at an enormous
sum. The existence of the French
copper syndicate indicates the world
wide nature of the new combination
of capital.
There is no reason to believe that
the sugar trust would be seriously
damaged if the sugar duties were abol
.lshed. The rewards are, so great that
there would be no difficulty in secqr'
ing capital to control the worlds sup,
ply and distribution, than in doing
the same thing in the United States.
Where trusts exist under the tariff
they would exist without it. These
combinations must be assaulted open
ly and directly if they are to be con
irolled or vanquished. They cannon
be overcome by any such indirect
method as abolishing tariff.

SENATOR STEWART ON IEsRIG A
TION.

In recent letter, Senator Stewart
says q have given particular atten-
ton to the subject of irrigation, and
have discussed the matter with all the
principal officers of the Interior De.
pertment and COMMITTEES of Congress,
until there now appears to be a lively
interest on the sub ect. It is a vast
question. More than three. fourths of
all the remaining public domain re-
quires irrigation for habitation. l
hope to be able before the session
closes to get the whole force of the
Geological Survey directed to survey
ing and locating places for reservoIs
and lines for bitches, and also for sep
arating the land that can be irrigated
from other land. Last Tuesday March
27th) l had.a resolution passed asking
the Secretary of the Interior for esti-
mates as to the cost of constructing
reservoirs, ETC., and with this and other
information am collecting we will be
able to legislate intelligently on the
subject. When Congress gets fully
informed as to the vast interests in.
volvod, there will he no difficulty in
pushing the work forward-the tronble
is in getting it started"

A somewhat remarkable orgapiza.
ti"n has lately been formed in the State
of Pennsylvania. 1t is composed of
men who say they have become tired
of voting for candidates for State,
county and federal Offices and of being
sighted by these candidates as soon as
the latter are elected. They do not
propose to any longer give their votes
for nothing to men who do not exhibit
gratitude for the favor They have
accordingly formed an association the
object of which IS to dispose of the
votes of the members at the highest
possible prices. Previous to election
bids will be received from the various
candidates and the one who bids
highest will get the votes. The re-
ceip;s will be divided among the mem
bers. Every man is sworn to secrecy.
The organization IS said to number
1000 in Philadelphia, and to have
subordinate lodges in other parts of
the State. This movement bids fair to
spread. When trusts and brotherhoods
TO the purpose of raising wages and
the prices of commodities are being
formed on every hand why should not

who through competition has often
been compelled 10 sell his vote for two
dollars, also organize and endeavor
thereby to increase his incomep
