Death Of Sitting Bull.

The death of this widely-known
Sioux chieftain took place in North
Dakota on the 18th of this month.
He had been placed under arrest by
the Indian police on suspicion that
he and his band were going to leave
for the bad lands. His captors
started with him to the agency,
when rescue was attempted by his
friends, and in the fight which en-
sued Sitting Bull, his son Crow Foot
and others were killed. Many obit-
uaries Of the defunct have been
written, which as a rule have not
been complimentary of the dead
hero, but his traducers forget that
he was a savage, that many of his
sins were taught him by civilized
men, and that his warfare against
the white man was regarded by him,
whether mankind so regarded it or
not. in the light Of attempting to
repel invaders. He was a patriot
battling for his native land, for
home and the right to exist. That
his ways were not as our ways may
not have been his fault. But we have
not space to devote to an analysis
of he motives, the ambitions and
the delusicns which made Sitting
Bull dreaded, hated and admired.
His crimes, seen from our stand
point were many; but that he was
murdered, as some have intimated,
to revenge the unfortunate death Of
General Custer is most improbable.
Certainly no military officer of the
United States would be a party to
so base deed.

An UnWise Provision.

The constitution Of this State
provides for the sale of State lands
at public auction. A more unwise
provision would have been difficult
to frame. 1t simply prepares the
way for spectators to possess them
selves of the States lands at a
merely nominal cost, as usual. The
rule which the people should learn
after awhile is that the lands belong
ing to the State are just as valuable
as the same quality of lands SINH
larly situated are when owned by
individuals, and should be held and
sold at the same price. Under our
constitution the legislature will
have done its duty when it has pro-
vided for the sale of the States land
at public auction, and the auction
eer will have done his duty when
he knocks them down at 10 cents
an acre, that being the best bid Of
fered. A better way is to provide for
the sale of these lands at the going
price at the date of sale; or at a
specified figure. Every acre of irri-
gated land in Idaho suitable for
agricultural purposes will, in ten
years from now. be worth $50, and
to sell the States land in unneces-
sary haste or at figure below their
value at the time of sale, is to prac-
tice swindle on the taxpayers.

THE policy of a Union of Church
and State is being discussed in
France, and we hope for the good
of our own people it will be accom-
plished. Whenever such a union
is effected the church becomes the
state, and liberty, if it existed be-
fore, dies. Yet the same scheme is
being worked up in this country,
and without some such object lesson
as it's failure in France would teach
our non-church affiliated people,
may succeed. For this reason we
hope the French fanatics will &C
complish their purpose ahead OF
our fanatics.

The representative of this State in
South; result: for eleven years no appro-
priations for any section of the State
north of the Salmon river range. Is it
reasonable to suppose that Southern Sen
atOrs will be more attentive to northern
interests than Southern delegates have
beenl They may be, but the moth is not
taking any risks if it can help it, and it
rather thinks it can.-BOise Sunday Sun
The foregoing extract is doubtless
good politics, but that is all that
can be said in it's praise. Idaho
has had northern men as Delegates
II, and southern men 16 years.
But S. S. Fem, of the northern part
Of the territory, served 4 years of
the 16 allotted to southern men.
To say that he neglected the inter-
ests of his section, while Delegate,
is to brand him a fool both in pol
itics and business, which few peo-
Pile think he was. Another4 years
was served by Hon. John Haley, a
gentleman having, perhaps, larger
business interests in the territory
at that time than any other man in
it. That he neglected the interests
Of Idaho or did not desire appro-
priations and work for them, is not
at all probable. The fact is that a
republican Congress refused to
make such appropriations to Idaho
as all felt she was entitled to re-
ceive, while her Delegates were
democrats, in the hope that that
refusal would compel the people to
send republicans to Congress, and
it had its effect. But not one of
those democrats would have stood
by as Dubois did and seen a bill
pass for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
Idaho without an effort to prevent it.

THE Commercial Convention did
a sensible thing in discrediting the
usefulness of a railroad commits
sion. That scheme for controlling
fares and freights has been pretty
well tried and has everywhere re-
suited in failure. In California a
board of three commissioners travel
all over the state on free passes
almost continually, drink railroad
wine and draw their salaries and
do nothing else. The railroad COM
panies manage their own affairs and
will continue to do so, commission
ers or no commissioners, because
they are stronger than the law. 1t
also acted wisely in refusing to
recommend state aid to railroad
construction. The policy of taxing
citizens to promote private enter
prises in the hands of other private
citizens is vicious perversion OF
the power of government, whether
the aid given is in the form of a
gift or loan. Besides past expert
ence proves neither the interest nor
the principal of loans made to rail
roads will ever be paid or can be
collected. Let those who own, con-
troll and profit by railroads build
them, and not the yictim!zed public.

Taken at Their Word.

For a number of years leading
lights in the republican party have
demanded the legalization Of an ed
ucational qualification to entitle
aliens to vote. It has been argued
by this class and, and with widely
admitted plausibility, that no man
should be entitled to exercise the
right of suffrage in this country who
could not read and write. Com
PEELED by law-produced conditions
for which Congress is to blame, the
State of Mississippi has taken these
men at their word, and adopted a
state constitution making ability
to read that document and under
standing it's provisions in general
way, a prerequisite to voting. And
now a howl goes up from Congress
that citizens of southern states are
deprived of their right to vote by
legislative enactment. But this leg
islation is provided for in the XIV
amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition. Mississippi or any other
state may disfranchise illiterates
while that amendment to our con-
stitution stands, by surrendering
an equivalent percentage of its rep
resentation in Congress. 1t seems,
however, that Mississippi is not
alone in the enactment of exclusive
legislation. Senator Vest brought
the fact to light during discussion
of the subject that Oregon now has
on her statutes law authorizing the
building Of bridge and providing
that none but white laborers shall
be employed on the work. The
fact is that the whole matter rests
with the states as such and it's dis
cussion by the u S. Senate or Con-
gress is a stupid waste of time for
political effect. In apportioning
representation in Congress that
body may inquire into the number
of voters in the state; and it is it's
duty to do this to form a proper
basis of representation, but the con-
stitutionality or unconstitutionality
of such legislation, or of any legis-
lation, can only come before the
supreme court.

WHEN Governor Shoup's omission
to allude to our mining interests in
his message was observed and be-
gan to provoke criticisms, the
Statesman sought to divert atten-
ton from it by declaring it of no
Importance, "since there is no ur-
gent need of legislation on this
subject at present. From this we
infer that the Statesman is unfavor-
able to the free coinage of silver.
But the Governor evidently regards
the matter in a different light, as he
has since recommended legislation
right where the Statesman declared
none was needed.

SENATOR EDMUNDs is of the opin-
ion that only two senator's can be
elected to the Idaho legislature. He
says Idaho is entitled to two, and
but two, U. S. Senators. When it
has been ascertained in the usual
manner that the term of one sena-
tor will expire on the 4th of March
next, and that there will be no sub
sequent meeting of the Legislature
before that time, then the successor
of the short term senator can be
chosen" Senator Carlisle concurs
in this opinion.
Since the above went in type the
Senators have changed their minds
and three Senators have been elect
ed in accordance with their revised
views.

We are sorry to see it, but the
Irish Home Rule party seems to
have resolved itself into series of
opposing mobs. United Ireland, a
newspaper published in the interest
of Parnell, who was a large stock
holder in the paper, was recently
captured by a mob, and retaken by
Parnell and some of his friends,
Parnell aiding in the recapture with
Il crowbar in his own hands. When
men lose their heads they also lose
the cause they seek to promote.

Up to the present writing, the
legislature has accomplished prac-
tically nothing except to elect U.
S. Senators, which our constitution
rather unreasonably requires to be
done during the first ten days of the
session. That done we may, and
shall, hope to hear good news from
our law makers. There is much for
that body to do, and fortunately for
the expediting of their labors, the
late commercial convention put
forth many suggestions, as did also
the Governors message, that will
serve as constant reminders of what
is needed to be done.
