EXIT GRISSOM.

DR.. Eugene Grissom has resigned
that is to say, he has rendered
his resignation and it has been ac-
cepted to take effect Sept. 18th.
For which we are duly thankful.
Under the circumstances, DIR.
Grissom is entitled to no credit for
stepping down and out in response
to the evident popular demand. 1t
was a case of "Hobson's choice"
with him.
The new board of directors of the
Asylum met last Thursday and they
met with the determination of GUST
ing Grissom. His resignation merely
simplified matters, that was all.
1t was unfortunate for Grissom
that he did not take advantage of
the opportunity to secure for him
self certain degree of popular
sympathy by resigning just after his
''acquittal" by the old board. He
would have been entitled to, and
would have received, under such
circumstances certain amount of
charitable sympathy from his enc
mics as we'll as his friends.
But he ignored that opportunity,
and then made matters worse by
declaring that he would never resign
he would pay no heed to the pop
ular will. But he has been made
to view the matter in different
light by the change wrought in the
complexion of the board.
And he has resigned" simply
because he had to. We are sorry
for him, but have no patience with
such foolhardiness.
1t is stated that he will remove to
the little country town of Smith
field, johnson county, to reside. He
will probably have sense enough to
do SO quietly and not 60 to meddling
with politics again, as some papers
have stated was his intention.
As private citizen Grissom we
hope he may rest in peace. We have
never numbered ourselves with
those who delight to kick man
after he is down.

ATERRIBLE WARNING.

In Missouri the other day young
man who had recently been married
made desperate attempt to commit
suicide, and while still ON the verge
of the grave told strange story of
crime and matrimonial woe.
1t seems that he had been suspec-
ted some months ago of having
committed burglary in the town,
but was not prosecuted for want of
evidence. Soon afterwards, TO the
surprise of every one, he married a
woman fifteen years older than him
self. After his attempt to commit
suicide he confessed that he had
been really guilty of the crime Of
which he had been suspected, and
that the woman who afterwards be-
came his wife held the only evidence
against him and forced him to marry
her under threat of exposing him if
he refused.
In vain he pleaded and begged for
mercy. The cruel spinster was in
exorable. A husband she was deter
mined to have at any cost, and the
youthful burglar was forced to wed
her rather than go to the peniten-
tiary. But after short experience
of matrimony with his determined
partner death seemed preferable to
welded misery, and suicide failing,
he sought refuge from his wretch
edness in confession and consequent
seclusion in State institution.
This painful incident should con-
tain solemn warning for all intend
ing burglars and show them the
dreadful risks they run in plying
their trade. They can never be GER
tain that they are not being watched
from some nook or corner by a
stern and infexible maiden lady
eagerly bent upon catching hus-
band and secretly seeking whom she
may matrimonially devour.
At any moment the rash and
thoughtless burglar may find him.
self pounced upon by this new enc
my and forced to take his choice
between matrimory and the peni-
tertiary.
In the face of such terrible perils as
this we cannot but implore the bur-
glars of our country to choose some
less hazardous occupation and not te
provoke fate which no honest and
respectable burglar can contemplate
without a shudder.

The assault of Judge Terry upon

The assault of Judge Terry upon
Judge Field, which resulted in the
killing of the former, appears to
have been not merely an isolated in-
cident growing out of the personal
animosity of Terry and his wife,
but part of concerted scheme to
take Judge Fields life. In docu-
ment fled by Judge Field in the
habeas corpus proceedings growing
out of the arrest Of Terry, the asser-
ton is made that the warrant for
the Judges arrest was the result ola
conspiracy between Terry's widow,
District Attorney White, of Stock
ton, and newspaper editor Of that
place, the object of which was to
subject him to "indignities and hui
miliation," and possibly to Compass
his death. The alleged attempt is
said to be but the continuation of a
bitter feud growing originally out of
politics, and in which Terry was but
one, though the chief, of Judge
Fields opponents. No that Terry
has hsen put out of the way, the
back Of the conspiracy probably has
been broken.

SENATOR vANCE,s SUCCESSOR.

There has been some gossip of
late as to who will succeed Senator
Vance. The next legislature will
elect successor, and various names
have been mentioned, among them
that of Gov. Fowle. The Durham
Globe asked Gov. Fowle if he were
in the race, and his answer was nom
committal.
1t doesn't make particle of diff
ference whether Gov. Fowle is a
candidate or not. IN fact the can
didacy of any man in North Caro-
lima against Vance would be almost
as funny as the Senator's funniest
joke.
It is claimed by the admirers of
some of the would-be candidates that
the Senator sshas been honored
enough" and "turn about is fair
play" which is equivalent to saying
that after the brainiest man in
North Carolina has trained himself
to be of great use to US we should
turn him off simply to give his sala~
ry to somebody who ''hasn't been
honored as much"
Senator Vance is going to be his
own successor, and he is going to be
North Carolina's Senator just as
long as he is able to wink his lame
eye.

DIR. GRIssoM PRINT.

We had hoped that with his letter
of resignation the matter would
rest. We had hoped that DIR. Girls
som would permit the press and
people to draw the veil of a chart
table silence over his name and
deeds, but we were mistaken, for we
find in the Ne,os and Observer of
Sunday an article, two columns in
length, in which DR.. Grissom pre-
tends to give his reasons for resign
ing.
In reality the article is a TRADE.
He assumes that the mistrial was a
vindication by the Board. Taking
this as premise, he proceeds to
abuse everybody who opposes him
abuses the prosecutors, abuses
everybody who went to an indigna-
ton meeting, abuses Gov. Fowle,
the State Chronicle, Capt. Octavius
Coke, Thos. B. Womack, ESQ.,, DR..
Foote and Mr.. Richard Smith. His
language is sulphurous, but his
reasoning is absurd.
In speaking of Gov. Fowle's ac-
ton in appointing board Of Direct
OrS who would remove him. DR.
Grissom says:
"The wolf said to the lamb. Il
will eat you, for you muddied the
brook NO, for 1 am below and
you are above But l must, for
you muddied it last year. Nay, [
was not then born yet again, L
will destroy you, for your ancestors
did,"
"You must go, DR.. Grissom, for
you have been guilty ofimmorality."
"No," says the Board of Directors
of the Insane Asylum, cit is not
true" "You must go, for you have
been guilty of cruelty "No," say
all the friends of all the patients
who have been under his charge.
"Yet you must and shall go, fol
twenty years ago you professed a
different political faith from the
Executive, and you refuse to be his
vassal to-day" So ends the tragic
farce, for the present.
1t would be folly indeed to ask
for or experimenting but injury and
embarrassment, to say nothing more
at the hands of Board sent here te
perform the play of my humiliation
at the dlctation of an Executive SC
regardless of law, decency or justice
have therefore rendered my resig-
nation to a Board of Directors under
whom / would not serve, and who
come with denunciations, and the
declared purpose to outrage me-"
Did anybody ever hear the like
Who ever heard of a hung jury &C
quitting or condemning a man
Who can doubt that DIR. Grissom's
violent temper led him to wantor
acts of cruelty after reading the
testimony? Who supposes that
Gov. Fowle would remove DIR
Grissom for political reasons when
for years, he has been retained by 9
Democratic legislature +?
"Whom the gods wish to destroy
they first make mad" Such nom
sense and abuse will not be swallow.
ed by the people, but is boomerang
for Grissom. 1t is folly. 1t is mad
ness, and only serves to call attention
to facts that the people of North
Carolina would be glad to forget
along with the uame of Grissom.

SOMETHING ABOUT SHOES

Do you know what handmade
shoe is? Not shoe made all over
by hand sewing; that whould be very
clumsy, the uppers are cut by meas
ure Of the foot in size, and stitched
by machine, the soles are cut and
the two put together by skilled
shoemaker, or bench, with awl and
waxed end. Such work is expen-
sive, and is only done nowadays on
the best material. Much machine
work that looks like hand work is
said to be hand work. That, of
course, is false. Sometimes machine
work is said to be as good as hand
work. If that is so, why is it that
machine work is never used except
on poor material and hand work is
only put on good material? Our
shoes are priced according to leather
and good hand work We handle
the Heiser hand made shoe for gen.
tle.nen price from $500 up-and
we consider it the best shoe ON the

THE TRIBUNE.
CALDWELL, IDAHO, DEC. "a, 1859.

Every citizen of Caldwell should
attend the public meeting in THE
TRIBUNE Office tonight. The OBJ
ject incorporation of the town of
Caldwell-is one that interests, one
way or the other, every property
holder. That self-government,
properly and judiciously applied, is
a good thing for growing and en-
terprising community, no one
denies. Many questions of public
import, which through lack of cor
porate government we are power
less to control, confront the citizens
of Caldwell to-day. For instance,
the destruction by fire of the row
of frame buildings on the south side
of Front Street is only a question
of time. Yet, not having any fire.
limits, any property-owner there
erecting a costly brick building
could not prevent the erection of
frame fre-traps on the adjoining lots,
thus rendering his enterprise I'M
safe. The keeping up of side
walks, adopting sanitary precau-
tions, keeping the peace, ETC., form
many of the advantages of incor-
poration. Still no hasty step should
be taken. While the advantages
are great the responsibilities are
so. Many young town,
not accepting or knowing the
scope or responsibility of her acts
has found herself at the end of a
few years laundering in the sea of
despair-her franchises gone, her
treasury depleted, her people
divided, and a favored few absolute
dictators. There are many phases
of this important question that
can only be settled by intelligent
discussion. Come out.

president of the southern confeder-
acy in February, 1861.
Mr.. Davis was a finished orator.
1t is said that John Quincy Adams,
on hearing Mr.. Dav,s's first speech
in the Senate, observed to his
friends; "That young gentleman
is no ordinary man; he will make
his mark" He was endowed with
high qualities as a leader, and there
seems no doubt that the southei n
leaders made a wise selection in
placing Davis at the head of their
wild and desperate enterprise.
The funeral services were held in
New Orleans Wednesday. Seven
Governors of Southern States were
in attendance. Over seventy thous-
and persons viewed the remains on
Tuesday.

1t is estimated that there are 25,-
600 Mormons in the Territory.
"The estimated population of the
Territory, as given in the foregoing
table, is taken from assessment
rolls and from correspondence with
intelligent and well-informed men
in the several counties"
"By comparison, we can calcu-
late the increase of population from
the year 1880, when the census was
last taken, which have us 32,619
souls. Of the total population at
that time, 6,69S were children of
school age. We may therefore es-
innate 4S7 inhabitants to every
child of school age"
For the year 1SS5-S9, there were
reported by the School Census Mar
shals 24,071 children of school
age in the Territory, whichat the
rate of 4.S7 gives population of
1925.
''The taxable property as it APP
pears on the assessment rolls for
the fiscal year amounts to $23,
94S, 039.65. The subsequent assess
ment rolls are completed and filed
late in October, and add to the reg
ular assessment fully 100000,
bringing the total assessment close
to $25,O00,000. This is an advance
over the assessment of 1888 of near
ly $3, 100000. An increase of 16
per cent in year of drought and
great depression of some of cur in
dustries is certainly gratifying"
"The area of the Territory, from
careful estimates, may be classified
as follows: Agricultural lands, 49,
100000 acres; Forest lands, 1O,-
100000 acres; grazing and mineral
lands, 20,000,0O0 acres; mountains,
5000, 900; Lakes and rivers, 1,22S,-
100. S,500,000 acres have been
surveyed and about 100000 have
been entered under the different
acts.
The Governors review of the O.
S. L. does full justice to this great
artery of trade and the towns along
its line. Coming closer home it
says:
"Nampa, 10 miles from Boise, is
the junction of the Idaho Central
and the main line. It's commercial
interests with Owyhee county are
large"
caldwell, situated on the Boise
River, is one of the most prosperous
towns on the line of this road, being
situated in the center of a fine agri-
cultural and grazing district. Its
volume of business is increasing
rapidly, and it is an excellent ship
ping point for wool, grain and live
stock"
Bellevue leads with the largest
numbers of tons shipped for the
year ending July, 1889, 5,S07, and
Caldwell is second with 4,610 tons.
The total number of tons of Idaho
products marketed during the year
is 1874, 015; and the total number of
tons received for consumption, 49,

marketed is SO, 520,176.
OfAda county the Governor says:
"It is Is miles in length from
north to south. with an average
width of 35 miles. The older settle
ments occupy the valleys, and these
valleys are thronged with prosper
GUS people. Their homes are sur
rounded with orchards and groves,
and are sustained by fruitage from
fields produced far in excess of the
prairie lands of Illinois. Settle
ment has but fairly begun upon the
uplands, and their adaptability to
horticulture is yet under expert
ment; but the yield of grass and
grain is equal to that of the valleys.
More than 100000 acres of excel
lent land are open to settlement in
this county"
After dwelling upon the beauty
and advantages of Boise City the
report continues:
"Other towns in Ada county
should not remain unnoticed. The
town of Caldwell justly claims hon
orable mention on account of its
extended wholesale and retail trade,
its excellent public and private
buildings, and the energy with
which its thoughtful people push
it's interests in every direction.
Payette is beautiful village, draw
ing it's support from both agricul-
tural and lumber interests, while
Emmett is the busiest of lumber
towns"
The output of mineral in Idaho
this year is the largest in the his
tory of the Territory being $17, 344,-
