Enron NEws:--In your issue OF
the 9Th April appears a suggestion
favoring the selection Of delegates to
the Constitutional Convention by the
Democratic and Republican Central
Committees Of Bingham County, and
requesting an expression Of opinion
In relation to the subject. To begin
with would suggest that the whole
proceeding is largely in the nature OF
farce. Our Montana neighbors
went through similar performance,
with the most rigid formallty elect
ing delegates 10 a Constitutional Con.
yention. After constitution had
been framed Il was with due solem-
nity submitted to the people and by
them ratified. When, however, they
we're finally admitted to statehood
Congress quietly ignored their pre-
ylous action and provided for the
framing Of constitution and the
submission OF the same to the elect
ors OF Montana Is not Idaho
likely to receive similar treatmentY
Again, the framing Of constitu-
ton Is OF the utmost importance
and merits the deliberate considera-
ton Of our ablest statesmen, entirely
freed from bias OF whatever nature
| A convention OF delegates serving
without pay will, in the very nature
OF things, be disposed to do its work
hurriedly. For even wealthy men,
unless they have some pecuniary In
terest at stake, are not disposed to
donate their time and pay their own
expenses while working for the public
good. On the other hand, II the ex-
nense Of the convention be borne by
j usyndicate, as suggested by Dele
rate Dubois, its will be peculiarly
liable to the charge of having been
Influenced by the moneyed men com
posing this Syndicate"
To place the selection of delegate,
IN the hands of Partizan Central
Committees who were not chosel
with n view to their exercising any
/ such power is, in my opinion mos
objectionable, and likely to oree'
a,scon,ent. In the interest OF equa
Justice to rich and poor alike; IN N
interest Of that spirit Of harmon
and contentment which Is necessar
to prosperity and progress IN ~

THREE THOUSAND MEN THROWN UUI
CT WoRK--Nearly 1000 men were thrown
idle in the Shenandoah part of the Penn
sylvania coal regions by the suspension Of
all the Lebigh Coal Go. and Individual col.
lieries. The 'strippings" at Shenandoah
and Mahanoy City also suspended, adding
several hundred idle men to the list
Crowds of idle men stand about the stree,
corners in Shenandoah discussing the situa-
ton very earnestly. All the Philadelphia
aud Reading collieries are kept in opera
ton.
Intelligence from the Conuellsvile coke
regions Saturday night indicated that ex-
citement was high among the cookers and
that ths probabilities of strike were grow
ing.
At joint meeting Of the Knights of La.
Dor organi zations il Sccttdale, Saturday, ali
the prominent local leaders were present.
The convention resulted IN the adoption OF
a resolution 10 strike unless the operators
grant an advance approxi nating tea PEI
cent. District Master Workman Wise, OF
the Knights of Labor, said Saturday that
siuce the operators say they cannot posi-.
bly, pay more money, strike is regarded
as certain. He said further that in case o.
strike upwards Of 10, 900 men will go out
which really means that 10000 people viii
be affected.

THE STATE PENINTETIARY.-In noticing
the report Of Col. w. W. Moses, Superin-
terdent Of the Penitentiary, the Richmond
State says
"The Penitentiary, it is shown, is con-
Quoted With economy and proper dieoipline,
and is in satisfactory condition, so far as
lies within the power of its Superintend-
ent. officers and Board of Directors 1t is
recommended, however, that the capacity
of the prison bs enlarged, the buildings
having been originally planned for much
smaller number of prisoners than those now
confined. To anyone who has visited the
Penitentiary and Inspected the buildings
this recon- alendation will hb seen at once
TO be proper one, on the ground both of
humanity and of security. Both the Sup
erintendent and the Board consider the
hiring out of coDvicts a source rather of
loss than gain to the State and give some
very strong reasons for their conclusions.
The total average numbar of convicts for
the year, In the prison and on public
works, is 965 The crime of which the
largest number of convic s received duriog
the yeai we're convicted is house breaking,
the number being III out of tota of 352
received Mex is grand larceny, for which
so were sentenced Highway robbery and
.,orse tbieve,y add 20 more. 81 stealing is
still the commonest vice Next is mali
cious assault, with 38 convicts, aud then
mia " full cutting, 25; unlawful shooting,
10: which shows thai with majority of
ne inmates the razor is still more of ia
vnrite weapon than the revolver. Only five
of the 372 convicts received are foreigners.
rhe tables ars all carefully prepared and
present the facts concerning the work of
the prison in the simplest FORM"

The limited States and Germany.

AS yet the questions in dispute between
this country and Germany concerning the
Samoan Islands have not been made fully
clear. Nor will they be made clear until
there is given to the public the full text Of
the agreement between the United States,
England and Germany crncerning their re-
lations to these islands. As yet both the
American and the German press seem to
be ouly-half informed, and their attempts
TO make up in conjecture what they lack in
fact has resulted, on both sides of the sea,
in doubt and confusion. We may take il
for granted, however, that Gsimauy has
not h4grantly violated au agreement to
which England and the United STATES arc
parties. There is probably a msapprehen.
sion on each side of the meaning of that
agreement, and, if there is, it should and
can be settled by arbitration. Germany
and the United States are friendly nations
and the people of the two countries are moi
disposed to engage in an expensive war on
account of those little patches of land far
away in the Pacific Ocean, to the posses
sion of which neither has any right. There
will be no danger of hOstilities if the press
of each country keeps close watch on
some of those Statesmen who are a little
too fond of buster and display.
The Democratic Administration-the
President, the Secretary of State, the Sec
rotary of the Navy-are acting with firm
moss aud discretion and may be trusted to
maintain, without giving unnecessary Of
fence to hitherto friendly power, the
prestige aud dignity of this county. An
intelligent American public ought to be
able to detect 10 those who are so sharply
oritcsing the Administration some alleged
Democrats who have been persisteDtly and
unreasonably hostile to the Administration,
and it should also value at its real weight
the Judgment of partisan Republicans, who
are willing to discredit the Government in
the e, es of the world, in order to deal the
Democrats blow and gain. if possible,
some party advantage. In tina light of re-
cent history, Republicans should be pfu-
IDENTIFY silent when the dangers of a foreign
war aud cur readiness for it are being dis
cussed. For tat we have not a better
naval equipment is due to the fact that,
though Congress appropriated for this pur-
pose during sixteen or seventeen years
$40 900 900, the money was sqlandered by
Republican Administrations, whose party
is responsible to day for our shameless lack
of such navy as the people of tais country
hal right to expect. 1t would not be
surprising to learn when the Republican
party is turned ous of power again, as it
will most probably deserve to be four years
hsuca, 1T will be found shat the remnant of
the American navy has been sold for cid
junk
= Mean hle we have still, even though for
only short period, an honest and upright
Democrats Administration, which may be
safely trusted 70 preserve peace, if it can

GENERAL ALGER, OF MICHIGAN, De
vELoPs NEW FUEL.-Genersl Alger, Of
Michigan, who is doubtless oherishing his
aspirations for the Presidency in the future
as well as his present hopes for seat in
the new Cabinet, has introduced a new
CRATE fuel. He is engaged in the lumber
business, and the fact that pine roots would
make a fuel somewhat of the order Of CRATE
coal was suggested to him by the men log
ging in the forest. He had the roots Cut

the Navy, as the newspapers have it. The
Treasury will go West, and Mr.. Harrison
has urged Senator Allison TO accept it, but
if he declines spme other Western man will

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, in The
House Of Representatives Saturday, says
the Washington correspondent of the Alex
Gazette, when the reception of the Senate
| tariff bill was announced, Mr., Reed raised
the point of order that it must either be re
ferred to a conference committee or to the
Committee CT the Whole, and made a
speech thereon, attempting TO throw the
blame of non action in respect OF the tariff
on the democrats. He was replied to by
Mr.. Mills, Mr. Mills by Mr.. Mckinley, and
Mr. NICK ipley by Mr., Breckenridge, the
latter stating that Fir. Reed had raised the
point knowing full we'll that it must be
overruled, and did SO only for the purpose
Of affordiug himself and his republican col
leagues an opportunity to make speeches
for effect outside the walls Of the Capitol.
The speaker overruled the point, and faid
the proper reference of the bill was to the
Ways and Means Committee.

Passage of the Republican Tariff Bill by
the Senate.

On Tuesday evening of last week, Jan.
22nd, the United States Senate, after pro-
tracted session, passed the tariff bill report
ed by the Senate finance committee by ~
to 80, a strict party vote. A large number
of amendments were offered from the dem
ocratic side, but they were defeated by the
republicans. Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana,
made some general remarks, in which he
referred to the protected manufacturers as
''bearded babies, living in palaces, flashing
with diamonds, sailing the seas in private
yachts and careering over Europe on tally
ho coaches" This, he said, was the class
which had dictated the Senate tariff bill.
Mr.. Voorhees's speech was in his usual
vigorous style, but had no effect on the VOTE
for the bill was republican measure, and
it went through, as stated above, by party
vote.
In speaking of this Bill, the Baltimore
San saws that sit differs from all previous
bills of the kind in attempting frankly to
soheck imports" in the interest OF the
manufacturer rather than to protect labor
or raise revenue. The idea throughout all
the important schedules is to make competi-
ton by the foreigner with the American
manufacturer impossible. There is no long,
er any talk of making the duty just SO high
as to cover the difference between the cost
of labor here and its cost abroad. The
nriuciple is that the manufacturers contrib
uted the money that carried the election
in November, and they must be given then
reward in the imposition Of whatever duties
they ask. They have not asked too little
On mum Der of articles in com mon use the
duty has been raised as high as $50 and 3Ot

discriminating severely in favor of Eastern
and Northern products. 1t is just such
bill, it may be added, as the friends Of radi
cal tariff reform will wish to have passed, il
such measure is to be passed at all, since
the worse the law the surer the reaction
against it. The probability, however, o
the House accepting the Senate bill is ex
Il tremely slight. 1t is almost certain TO b'
pigeon holed when it reaches the House
The internal revenue sections of the MILL
bill may perhaps be voted upon by the lat
ter body, but that is improbable. The pre-
, vailing sentiment among the democrats o
E the House is that the whole responsibility!
for legislation upon questions Of taxation
should rest upon the republican majority C
