WHY HIGHER sALARIEss

Concerning the proposition to raise
the pay of Congressman, Cabinet
Ministers and the higher department
officials, the New York Herald perti-
nently asks: Why should their pay
be doubled as is proposed? The on
ly reason given is that they cannot
live sin style be6tting their public
position" on their present salaries.
But that is nonsense. A Cabinet
Minister receives eight thousand dol
lars year, a member of Congress
FIVE thousand dollars. Each has be-
sides this many small perquisites, such
as stationery, more or less attendance,
mileage for the Congressman at the
rate of twenty cents per mile, and
other matters.
1t is true that these gentlemen
cannot live like princes on their sal
aries; they cannot "put on style" as
the vulgar saying is; but they can
live very we'll in a manner betting
their real position as "public SER
wants" on their present pay and per-
quisites, and in our judgment it is not
necessary or expedient to make the
trade of politics more tempting than
it is already.
The tendency to display and luxu-
rious living by government officers
ought not to be encouraged. II
comes from the fact that in the last
dozen years a considerable number Of
millionaires have taken it into theiI
heads that Washington is pleasant
place to live in, and have accordingly
got themselves elected to Congress
mostly to the Senate-and have
set every evil fashion of luxury and
display in the federal capital. Such
things are catching, and it is natura
that Congressman, Cabinet Minister.
and heads of bureaus would like tt
live in the same "style' and make a.
big show as the millionaires.

CALDWELL TRIBUNE: When our
Solons were making laws to protect
the fish in our streams, they over
looked serious defect. When wa
ter is turned into the irrigating bitches
the fish run up these bitches in regu-
lar schools, only to perish by thou
sands. The bitches are full of them.
More fish are destroyed by one big
ditch than by all the dynamite and
seins put together, yet there is no
provision requiring ditch companies
to put screen across their headgates,
to prevent the fish from swimming
up to irrigate somebody's ranch
The matter was suggested to US oy
Pat Fahy, of Middleton, who says the
bitches up there swarm with them
Ditch owners would do good thing
if they would screen their head gates
without the interference of the law

Sad Death Of Geo. w. Tate.

Last Saturday morning, between 8
and 10 o'clock, as Henry Eshom was
hunting stock about two miles south
of Rock creek, on Beach's wood road,
where the road starts down a steep
hill, he found the body of Geo. w.
Tate, lying under the upturned wagon,
with bis head and one hand sticking
out under the box. Tate had been
out on Rock creek building a stock
corral, and it is supposed that he had
started home last Friday evening
near 4 o'clock, or about the time oi
the storm on that day, when the team
became frightened from some break
age in the harness, which were very
poor and unsafe. Mr.. Eshom informs
US that as near as he could Judge
from all appearances, the team hac
ran over three hundred yards down ;
steep and rocky hill before the wag
on upset, resulting, it is supposed, il
the instant death of Mr.. Tate. FL
was lying on his face, with feet to
ward the front of the wagon, with hi
head, part of one shoulder and han'
sticking out from under the upturne'
box. He was pressed very tightly Il
the ground, being dls6gured and hi
neck and shoulder badly crushed
All of his camping outfit was scat
tered along as much as two rods dis
tant from the track of the wagon
Notice was sent to this town for
Coroner, but the circumstances of hi
death beng so plain, it was deeme,
useless, and he was removed to hi
residence on the fiat about eigh
miles below this town. Geo. W
Tate was a man between thirty an
thirty-five years of age, and leaves
wife and a large circle of relative
and friends to mourn his loss.

sion by simply showing Congress
that Idaho earnestly desires state
hood. Dakota and Washington have
been knocking loudly and earnestly
for admission for many years, and
when their first knocks were made,
they were greeted with a smile, and
they waited ON the threshold expect
ing every moment to be cordially
invited to walk right in, but they are
still there, all dressed up in their
constitutional toggery such as to vel
come them into the society of the sis
terhood of States. So it will be we'll

plead for several years after the first
knock is given before the door will

/" The Gem of the Mountains TO
walk right in and make herself
at home. The Idaho Enterprise,
which, for solid ability and clear-cut
reasoning, is not behind any paper
in the Territory, throws a strong light
on some of the disadvantages of state
hood in the way of extra cost, and
while we DO not believe Idaho would
take much chances of being hnan-
cially worsted in assuming statehood,
and the probabilities and indications
of beneficial results outweighing the
additional cost being the WORMS
view of the matter-in short, the
chances for loss appear very small
and the probabilities of gain very
large-still, we believe in giving all
sides of an important public ques-
ton, and publish to-day, in full, the
Enterprises figures, which we think
is a fair statement of the cost of a
State government over our Territorial
government. The columns Of the

IT is reported that an effort is be-
ing made to cut the mail service be-
tween this section and Boise City.
The program is said to be to
make two separate lines of what is
now the Boise City and Basin line.
One is to be the Boise City and Ida
ho City line, service six times a
week, the other the Idaho City and
Quartzburg line, riweekly service.
We are satisfied that Delegate Du-
bois, who is always on the alert
ever ready to do anything for the
benefit of his constituents, as we'll as
to head off any movement that
would prove detrimental to their in
terests-will do his utmost to prevent
any such unjust cutting down of the
mail service. We were cut down al
one time to six mails a week, and
Delegate Dubois labored until he
succeeded in getting the old service
re-established, which gave us mai
on Sundays, as we'll as week days.

ne had gone to hold an inquest on the
body of J. G. johnson. We have
not seen the evidence adduced at the
inquest, but understand that it shows
that the deceased was put out of the
house of d. Wier on Williams creek
late in the afternoon of one day last
month, and that he was sick at the
time he was elected. He was seen
on the same afternoon by Mr.. Bissett,
sitting on a rock near the road and
within about half mile of the resi-
dence OF said Weir; that after that
date he was not seen by any of the
ranchers until the discovery of his
body; that the body was found Thurs
day, April IL, 1889, near where he
was last seen alive, within plain view
of the road, and only few feet dis
tant. The coroner's jury brought in
verdict to the effect that he died
from causes unknown to them. We
understand that the community is
quite indignant at the treatment re-
ceived by the deceased at the hands

Dedicated DurlEa. a Pouring Rain
The Ceremonies. Abridged.
WAsHINaToN, November 13.-The ded-
icaton of the Catholic University OF
America took place in q pouring rain.
The ceremonies began with short ad.
dress by Cardinal Gibbons, followed by
the chanting Of "Veni Creator Spiritus''
by the students of Sc. Mary's Seminary
and st. Charles College, Baltimore. The
building was then blessed by Cardinal
Gibbons while the choir chanted the
Miscrere.
Shortly after 12 o'clock the Most Rev.
Monsignor Satolli, Archbishop of Le-
panto and special representative of the
Pope, began the celebration in the chapel
Of the Pontifical mass of the Holy Ghost,

vines. Right Rev. Bishop Gilmour, Of
Cleveland. preached the sermon. Dur
ing the celebration of the mass Rev.
Father Fidelis (James Kent Stone) Su-
perior of the Order of Passionists in Bra
I'll, addressed an overflow audience in
one of the large lecture rooms.
A large part of the ceremonies had to
be omitted on account of the inclement
weather; cold, drizzling rain fell dur
ing the greater part of the day. The
formal procession around the structure
was abandoned, but the ceremony of
blessing the building was performed hv
the Cardinal passing through the corri-
doris, preceded by ecoiytes bearing lighted
tspers. The exterior and interior decora-
tions were elaborate, and the national
colors predominated in everything.
Masses of cut flowers, palms and other
foliage plants occupied every avail
able space, while flags, both
large and small, were draped about
the windows and doors, and festooned
from the ceiling and chandeliers. Every
where throughout the great building, be-
fore the ceremonies began, high church
dignitaries, laymep, seminarians. and
representatives of the Franciscan, Domi
rican and Augustine orders of monks,
each in his distinctive robes of purple,
black, white or grey, mingled in pictur-
esque groups.
