MULLAN, IDAHO, Oct. Ed Stacey
was killed yesterday by E. A. Davidson.
Stacey and his partner. Bassett, who
have been terror to Idaho, concluded
that they would throw the country into

came to they only found 80 cents.

did not have more money. Stacey was

THE Bellaire Independent misunder-
stands the situation as to the proposed
reduction of fees and salaries of county
officers. The County Convention, only,
took action on that question. 1t is be-
lieved by men who have given most
thought to the matter that the practical
way to treat it is to have bill intro
duced and passed fixing the salaries and
fees of county officers of counties having
certain population. So far as the peo-
pie of this county are concerned, that is
all they are interested in. If other
counties are willing to pay more than
they ought to, that is their concern
Representative McKelvey warmly favors
reduction, and there ought to be no rea-
sonable doubt that measure of the
kind indicated can be enacted next win

IF the people of this district with its
multifarions interests in farm, mill,
factory, shop, labor, ETC., want the tariff
agitation to continue, if they want an
other long period of anxiety and financial
disturbance, such as has prevailed since
Grover Cleveland sent his fatal free trade
message to Congress, if they want doubt
about the future instead of certainty,
then they should by all means unite in
electing a Democratic free trader to
Congress from this district, thus doing
what is in their power to insure Dem
ocratic majority in the next Congress.
Common sense, however, will dictate
letting well enough alone and "hands
off" the tariff question. The interests
of the people of the Seventeenth district
demand that the tariff issue remain
settled, and the election of Republican
Congress will insure such result.

EXTRA SESSION.

Of the Legislature called by Governor
Owing to the alleged corruption
of the Democratic members of tie
Board of Public Improvements, and
their refusal to resign, Governor Camp
bell has called an extra session of the
Legislature, for next Tuesday. His
proclamation is as follows:
By virtue of the authority vested in
me by the constitution of the State of
Ohio, l, James E. Campbell, Governor
of said State, do hereby require the
Sixty-ninth General Assembly of Ohio
to convene at the State-house in Colum-
bus at 10 o'clock A. NJ. on Tuesday,
October IA, 1890, then and there to
receive such communication as may be
laid before it, and to take such action
thereon as to it may seem proper
In testimony whereof, l hereunto
subscribe my name, etc.
Signed JAMES E. CAMPBELL.
The following letter accompanied the
proclamation to each member of the
Legislature:
Columbus, October 6, 1890.
My DEAR SRI enclose copy of
the proclamation calling special session
of the General Assembly.
1t is perhaps proper to say in con-
nection with its transmission that the
legislation, which will be recommend
in my message, ought to meet with no
opposition, can be passed under suspen-
sion of the rules and should not consume
more than one days time. Sincerely
yours. JAMES L. CAMPBELL.
The causes which led to the proclama-
tion is a topic of general discussion
and the outcome of the session is a
matter of much concern to Democratic
Committees and politicians.

IT is the testimony of fair-minded
men of both parties that the Congress
which adjourned last week did its work
better than any Congress in recent years.
That the masses of the people so view
it, elections already held afford abundant
testimony. Under the impulse of the
revised tariff business is improving and
prices advancing, and under a settled
policy which the new tariff assures it is
believed the country will experience
such prosperity as it has not felt in many
years.

Mr.. WILLIAM p. HUBBARD, the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in the
Wheeling district, is a broad, brainy,
and growing man, who will make his
mark in Congress, and who will be able
to attract the attention of the country
to that young and promising State. Its
undeveloped resources are unsurpassed,
and once it unloads its Bourbons and
puts progressive men, like Mr.. Hubbard,
in the lead, men and capital from the
North will work wonders. In the ele-
ments which constitute material wealth
it is the equal of Pennsylvania, but it is
pigmy alongside Pennsylvania, and
always will be, while ruled by Bourbons.

IT is a qualification to find that the
newspapers are at last giving some at
tention to School Examiners. The Bell
aire Independent has done teachers and
the public service in calling attention
to some absurd questions promulgated
at the last examination. The great need
of our board of Examiners is less science
and more common sense.
The object of our common school sys-
tenn is to give the youth of the State
thorough knowledge of the common
school branches of an English education.
Do the pupils in our public schools get
such thorough knowledge of spelling,
reading, writing, arithmetic, and gram
mar as they should have? Observing
men believe they do not. Under the
system as organized to-day too much is
undertaken, and as result nothing is
thoroughly acquired.

TIE Gazette undertakes to throw mud
over Scott and Tallman because they are
deputies. 1t is the universal testimony
that no more capable men ever filled
the places they occupy. Neither has
made fortune out of office-hOlding,
that any one is aware of. On the con-
trary, both are poor men. That both
are peculiarly qualified to discharge the
duties of the offices for which they have
been nominated is well known. Mr..
Tallman is cyclopadia of information
as to the records of the Probate office
and the duties of its incumbent. The
county has not had Mr.. Scott's superior
in the Sheriff S office, take him all
through, in quarter of century, nor
has either party given the people an op-
portunity to vote for his superior in that
time These things men will be apt to
consider when they come to making up
their minds about voting.
