IdahO's Garden Products.
Post Falls Post,

Post Falls Post.
Idaho is becoming noted for her
garden products, the several varie-
ties attaining such unprecedent di-
mansions, turnips, cabbage, squash,
bets and pumpkins growing SO
large that an eastern man would
laugh to ridicule a description of
some of these products. 1t is Moth
ing unusual to see a turnip weigh
ing 25 pounds, and wagon loads
have been brought into this city
which averaged Is pounds each.
Cabbage grow to still larger and
corresponding figures. 1t has not
been claimed that corn could be
grown here as successfully as other
creals, but trial patch of fifteen
acres on the Ross place, two miles
from Post Falls, demonstrates that
corn, too, can be made profitable
crop. We were shown last evening
an ear of corn grown on the
farm above alluded to which
measures about seven inches in
length and contained twelve solid
rows of we'll developed grain,
which will compare favorably, if
not prove better, than corn grown
in Ohio or Missouri. We. of Idaho,
do not yet know what we have.
Wait until our resources are devel-
oped, and we will startle the world.

aided with a sigh of relief by many
of the members, as the doings of
the past two weeks was a severe
strain on them. One United
States senator is usually all
that any one legislature is called
upon to elect-but Idaho is moth
ing if not extraordinary-and so
her first legislature had the unique
honor of electing three U. S. Sena-
tors-a condition of affairs which
has rarely, if ever, occurred before
in the history of our government.
NO PAY IN VACATION.
During the debate last Saturday
on the holiday adjournment resolu-
ton, an opinion from the Attorney
General holding that the members
could not draw pay in vacation
was read. With this understand
ing the vacation was agreed to.
GOVERNOR WILEY.
Lieutenant Governor Wiley as
sumed the office and duties of Gov
ernor last Friday. The Governor
is one Of those old sturdy pioneers
of Idaho whom the people admire
and love to honor. In the noun
tain Businesses Of Idaho county,
in and about the famous mining
camp of Warrens, he has made his
home the past twenty years. He
has served the people of his state
in several important positions un-
der the territorial regime and is
peculiarly qualified to be the first
governor in deed, of a new state.
PRESIDENT PRO TEN.
The senate has at last elected
presiding officer. Senator John S.
Gray, of Ada, having received that
honor. The vote stood: Gray, 9;
Shoup, 6; DeLamar, 1.
THE SENATORIAL COMBINE.
Although there are all sorts of
stories and rumors afloat concern.
ing the successful senatorial COM
bination, the following, which leaves
Mcconnell in the hole, comes from
reliable source: Dubois got the
long term, Shoup and Mcconnell
the fractional terms. In case Nc
!Connell draws the two-year frac-
tional term and Shoup the two
months term, the former is to re-
sign after the fourth of March and
Governor Shoup is to be appointed
to the vacancy by Governor Wiley.
1t is also said that in consideration
of this-in case the lot so decides
it-McConnell is to receive half of
his campaign expenses $4,000.
While this explanation may not be
correct it is plausible. Dubois
could not get there without McCon-
nell, Gas Claggett steadfastly re-
fused to combine) and Mcconnell
could not get there without Dubois.
The latter having the larger fol-
lowing naturally dictated terms
and as Nc. had spent a mint of
money and wanted the title of U.
I. senator, if he could get nothing
more, accepted. The only suspic-
ious thing about the proposition is
the $4,000 payment in case Nc.
draws the long term, Who will
pay it? Dubois cannot.
A PROTEST.
A protest to congress, signed by
over twenty of the members,promis
es further senatorial complications.
The protest questions the legality
of the election of Fred T. Dubois,
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1890-12-27

would not fall under the provisions
of the admission act or the state
constitution, but under the federal
statutes. In the election of Dubois,
the U. S. statutes, which require
a ballot in each house separately
the second Tuesday after organiza-
ton, were not followed, but the joint
session which elected two U. s.
senator's, under the constitution,
proceeded to elect the long-term
man without dissolving. Under
the U. S. statutes the proper day
to have proceeded to elect a long
term senator would have been Tues
day OF this week, provided the leg
islature had legal knowledge of this
vacancy. The legislature really
had no knowledge of this vacancy
other than the say so of interested
parties.
The governors proclamation
converting the legislature included
the election of two U. S. senators
and no more. Several of the lead
ing legal lights of Boise, including
R. q. Johnson, Ex-Chief Justice
Beatty, ETC., say that there was no
legal election, and as the protest
was drawn at the instance of promi-
nent republicans, and literally
signed by republican members, it
it will doubtless receive q candid
consideration by the U. S. senate,
where democratic protest would
be unceremoniously kicked out.
If the senate gives an expression
questioning Mr.. Dubois title to the
seat the legislature will likely have
another tilt on the senatorial prop
osition before it adjourns. In oppo-
sition to this view it must be con-
coded that Dubois is a skillful pol
itical manipulation, and can make
the senators acknowledge his cleo
ton if any one can. 1t is doubtful
if he cares whether it is legal or not
so long as he has the credentials.
He will trust to his good luck and
a republican majority to carry him
through. Under ordinary circum-
stances this would be the correct
view, but in this case the protest
comes from republicans who have
republican friends in the senate
who are not friendly to Dubois.
If they and the democrats combine
and demand legal election there
will be fun ahead for Freddy.
LEGISLATION,
The only bills that have become
laws SO far are bills appropriating
$50, 900, or SO much thereof as is
needed, to defray the expenses of
the first legislature /; bill giving
District Judges the power to fix
terms of cournt and bill fixing
the salary of attaches Of both hous-
es and describing their duties.
The bill confering upon the govern
or the power to appoint officersr to
vacancies in county and precinct
Offices, where such vacancies ex-
list through failure ofsuch office to
qualify within time required by
constitution, was defeated in the
senate. ,. ,~-sF ~ .s-.-f g.
STATE PRISON.
Ever since admission the U. S.
government has been trying to get
the state to accept the penitentiary
at Boise. The states while paying
for maintenance of same, has had
no legal officer to accept it. The
last two days of the session in the
house were spent in perfecting a
bill for prison commission and des-
cribing their duties, but it failed to
come up in the senate-and Uncle

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue
Of Jan 30 noticed piece headed 'CrtiCizing
Whitaker" written by ComIade Peter Steino-
bach late Of Co. A, 4th u. ;. Cav. j wish TO
correct the comrade as regards the capture of q
piece Of artillery mt the bridge crossing Duck
River at Shelbyyille, Tenn. As he states,
Mnty's Brigade-Composed Of the 4th Mich,
4ih u. s. Cav. aud 9TH Pa. Cav.-led the adj
vance OF R0sccrans's army on the Shehyville
pike. When near Shelbyville a dash was made
by the 9Th Mich. and 9TH Pa. Cav. on some
small works filled by about 900 Johnnies, capt
uTing most of them, few escaping. The cap
tured were sent 10 the rear in charge OF the 18th
Mich when the 4th IT, = Cav, under command
OF Capt. Mclntire, came 10 the front and sup
ported the 9Th Pa. Cav, and the two regiments
advanced. and, upon coming in sight of the
city and Notifications the aattcr not very eX-
fensiye a saber charge was ordered and both
regiments-the 9Th ~. s. Cav. and the 9Th
Pa. Cay.-charged the works, the 9TH Pa.
Cav. leading No attention was paid TO
anything passed; we went right on through
The city 70 the bridge, and few followed the
enemy some distance across the river. Now, as
for the gun at the bridge never heard of any
such heroic Johnny as was described sitting
on the gun in question; and right here 10 inn
press Il on the mind Of the Comrade / wish TO
say that the enemy tried to rally and make
stand al the bridge long enough 10 get the gun
IN question rightcd and over the bridge and
two members of the 18th Pa. Cav. were killed
there and several wounded. The killed were
Lieut.. Rhodes and Serg't Reed, of Co. b. The
names of the wounded j do not recollect The
cannon was one captured from the Board of
Trade Battery Of Chicago, belonging 10 Minty's
Brigade. while on a raid with some other COM
mand several months before and the recapture
Of il made the battery boys very jubilant, and
also made them feel very grateful TO their old
brigade. Ny object in making this statement
is 60 show that Maj. Thornbnrg must certainly
be mistaken, if this is the piece of artillery he
refers 70. and, As Comrade Steinebach says, in
October OF that year there were no Johnnies
there TO make any fight. There might have
been few bushWhackeTs, but nothing else, and
they had no use for artillery. / think Comrade
Stcinehach viii accept the correction after fully
thinking the matter over; the killing OF the
two members of our regiment at that place so
wildly brings the circumstance 10 my mind.
il was not the custom Of either regiment Of
our old brigade to pluck lanrels one from the
other. A better brigade, or one that had more
universal good feeling aud the utmost conf
dence, every man and officer, IN bis comrades
Of other companies or regiments in the brigade,
