DRSTITUTI0S IN IDAHO.

An unexpected, not TO say sur
prising disclosure Comes from Idaho,
yet all is sim le enough when ex-
plaine1. The fact that the inhabit-
ants Of fertile prairie region about
ninety miles long by about forty
wide, embracing a population Of
about 1000 souls, aud situated in
the central part oflhat Territory, are
in such condition Of restitution
that relief is being sought from
abroad in order to provide them with
food until another harvest and with
seed grain, will be learned in Utah
with astonishment and regret.
The people Of the region named.
which is known as Camas Prairie,
have been reduced to serious straits
by the misfortunes which are mar
rated in another column, and it is
to be hoped that the relief they so
greatly need will be promptly fur
nished. The grasshopper scourge
may, under some circumstances.
10 almost As much towards produc.
ing destitution n flood or confla-
grafton, and the sufferers from such
q visitation are entitled to sympathy
and assistance.
One feature Of this misfortune will
be as deeply deplored as the poverty
it has produced, by a certain class
in Idaho, and perhaps a great deal
more. y call for aid from abroad
to relieve the threatened hunger Of
several hun ired families in the Ter
ritory, can scarcely fail to have a
der ssing effect upon the movement
looking TO its admission as
a State, and the politicians who are
working 10 advance themselves
politically and the admission bill in
Congress are the ones who viii |
kee'ly anu selfishly regret theoe-
casion for such a C Il. Butpoli:ical |
issues are unworthy to be considered
In Connection with such a demand |
upon our humanity. The needed
relief for the people OF Canias
Prairie should be forthcoming.

discussion ofthe resolution granting
a franchise on certain streets to the
Rapid Transit Company, was the
Immunity from taxation enjoyed by
the old company, referred to, in a
manner to reflect upon the prede-
cessors Of the present Council.
The reasons which can be urged
in support Of a tax on the Rapid
Transit Company did not exist when
the franchises of the old company
were granted At that time the
population OF the city was small
compared with the present, money
was scarce among the classes who
would otherwise have patronized
street cars, the cost Of the plant was
greater than now, and the revenue
bore no such relation to the expens-
es as it does today. In the early
years of the street railroad in this
city, light tax would have been
sufficient 10 extinguish the enter
prise, and the policy pursued of
granting it immunity from such a
burden was in line with a commend
able public spirit.
Now all this is changed. The
city is a Populous metropolis, and
money is abundant in comparison
with what it was in former years.
The cost Of operating rapid transit
lines has been greatly reduced by
modern invention, and the profits
Of such plant may now be made
to far exceed what was possible a
few years ago.
Last evening Mr.. Hall moved to
amend the pending resolution so a.
TO make the per capita tax to be
paid by the Rapid Transit Company
one aud one-fourth, instead Of. one
and one-half, mills, and said in
support OF his motion:
"Mr. May or, two and half mills is
one-twentieth OF a five cent faro, snd
one-twentieth Of anything is five per
cent Of it. Now five per cent comes
pretty near being tithing, and II any
thing has kept this country back,
tithing has. am opposed to such a
high tax on the gross revenue Of the
company"
Mr.. Halls motion was agreed to
by the Council. A few moments
later, in speaking to another phase
Of the pending matter, Mr.. Cohn
stated that as early as some time in
the seventies the City Council had
provided for the collection from the
old road of a per capita tax of five
mills. Mr.. Hall rose and asked:
"But was the tax ever coIlected7 Is
il not true that every year a repre-
sentative Of the road would come be-
fore the Council and declare it was too
poor to pay the tax? And is it not
true that the Council always RENTED
it?''
These heterogeneous were put in
a semi-sneering manner, and Mr..
Coin made no reply. These par
ticulars are given that Mr.. Hail may
see himself az others see him, as he
was probably unconscious of having
stultiied himself. and crossed his
own record, within the space of a
few moments. We repeat that those
who are unjust are also prone to be
inconsistent.

SHALL-SOULED AND PETTY.

EVERY now and again, in the SEES
sions Of the City Council some jack
anapes, exhilarated with the pre-
sumed importance Of his official in
flatiOn, forgetting his liability to be
suddenly plunged into the juice of
his normal insignificance, jerks out
some insulting reflection in relation
to the methods Of the city govern
ment Of the past.
These 'Ssmart Alecks'' are either
prompted by n eoxcombic desire TO
create an impression Of their own
greatness compared with the alleged
incapacity Of their predecessors, or
they are too advanced in idiocy to
comprehend that methods which
wOnld be beneiicent and applicable
now would have been imprudent
and even impossible in years gone
by. n person who does not under
stand that new conditions require
new modes Of administration has not
sense enough TO preside over a poul-
try yard, 10 say nothing about doing
business for an important municipal
corporation.
Now, we make it a rule never to
pIecipitate an initiatory assault, but
occasionally we try to take a hand
