This will cover all costs Of the case
in the low r court, and. probably, also
tn cost OF thu transcript Tor the
SUPREME Court, if it should be neces-
sary t. take the case t. that tribunal.
This is, however, very improbable.
Several taxpayers have already
offered TO contribute toward paying
the costs Of the case. But It is desir
able that as many as possible should
contribute. Hence subscriptions Of
so cents to Is to that md are hereby
solicited. They NAV be sent direct
to tins Office, when their receipt will
b- acknowledged in the TINES. or
they can be handed to the editor Of
the TINES. In the latter case
written receipt will be given, and in
every case the money will be ac-
counted for to the last cent.
III case any desiring to contribute
should not wish the fact known, they
can hand their subscriptions to the
editor OF the TINES who will give
them a receipt for the same, aud will
give them private statement ut any
time, but he agrees, OH his wor.l of
honor, not to reveal their identity
without their permission.
As the costs will be taxed to the
losing party or parties, this money
will doubtless be returned to the sub.
scribers at the conclusion Of the case
The subscriptions will therefore BE-
mere loans that will doubtless be re.
paid within 80 to 60 days.

Suicide OF Q Brute.

Finding escape impossible the
late Chiiian tyrant, Balmaceda,
committed suicide a few days ago
by shooting himself in the head.
The muzzle of the pistol used was
placed against the temple, and death
must have been instantaneous.
Thus ends in single good act the
life of a weak but murderous des-
perado and tyrant, who lacked only
ability to make him a fit successor
to Ignatius Loyola of Infamous his
tory. AS is a custom with such
he left letter to the
world in which vulgar attempt is
made to justify his criminal career,
by calling his subalterns liars, and
other hard names, and by denying
that he knew Of the atrocities COM
until they had been done.
This will fail to deceive sensible
people, however, as the public
knows too we'll that none of the
criminal gang who were his bench
men when he had power. and did
his bidding. with possibly some
what enthusiastic alacrity, were
punished for their excuses. When
the news of the death of the baff1ed
wretch was made public the city
was illuminated and general rejoic.
ing prevailed over the land his
hand had made desolate.
He had cheated the rope, but he had
atoned for his ignominious life as
Judas did, and the CHILEAN public
manifested its approval Of his one
good deed by time Of jubilee. For
this they have been called barbara
ans, by people who mistake maud
lin sentimentalism for civilization ;
but Balmaceda's should be the fate
of all such as he. Assassins of
women and children deserve neither
respect nor tears.

A Lively Scoundrel.

Robert F. Lively is a lively scoun-
drel if he is a preachers son. He
lately organized q secret society in
West Virginia for the "relief of the
Government" The theory upon
which the organization worked was
that the government was in sore
straight for gold. This astringency
Lively and his compatriots pro-
posed to relieve by collecting the
boarded gold of the country and
placing it in the hands of the gov.
eminent. AS an inducement to
people to surrender their treasures,
who might be disposed to value
their money more highly than their
government. it was given out that
IS in paper would be issued for
every dollar in gold received at the
treasury, but no sum less than 5000
would be received from any one
person. Their avarice quickened
by this enormous bonus, the color
line was completely broken down
and black, white and saddle. colored
capitalists rushed pell-mell into the
trap. Everybody that had gold
buried dug it up; everybody that
could borrow, borrowed, some even
mortgaged their farms, and when
the government learned to what
use its credit was being put the
thieves had gathered in about $780,
600. Even railroad men invested.
Lively made his escape, but his
two pals are Gagged.

Queer Assessment.

In looking over the rate of as
sessments in the various counties
as appeared from the records before
the board of equalization, on Fri
day, the necessity for it's action is
at once apparent. Railroads are
assessed at from $4,000 to $1,000 per
mile, telephones from $15 to $117.
In some counties horses and cattle
are assessed at double the rate they
are in others. Sheep run more
ken, from LAG to 50 each. Land
is assessed in Custer county at four
and half cents per acre. in Ada
&.11, Nez Perez 1922, Shoshone
u 40 and in Washington $3.50.
No doubt there is a difference in
land in the counties, but the valu-
alton in Custer by a sworn officer
seems very singular. Other glazing
irregularities exist but none 50 great
as in the appraisal Of lands. There
is plenty of room for the use OF
sound discretion by the board

DURING the year 1890 there were
$4,000 immigrants landed in this
country, practically all of whom
were laborers in search of employ
ment; but the. Mckinley bill had
not taken effect then, and the Amer
lean laborer was without adequate
protection. Not until 1891 did the
laborers begin to feel the salutary
effects OF that great protective law.
And how was it then? The first
three months of the year show a rec
ord Of arrivals of 13O,750. Should
arrivals continue at this rate to the
close Of the year-and the prevail,
ing short crops and great scarcity
of food throughout Europe warrant
lis in assuming that it will greatly
increase--we shall have total OF
$4,000 panper immigrant arrivals
under the Mckinley regime against
A95 900 for the year previous to its
introduction. What do wage-earn-
ers think Of that kind of protection?

On the 22d of this month the
country of the sacs and Foxes, the

Indian Territory, comprising ,lOl,-
$50 acres, having been coded to the
government, was thrown open to
settlement. Each buck Indian is
entitled to 100 acres-frst choice
Of the land. Deducting this leaves
5000 homesteads for white men, but
before the land had been declared
enterable there we're over twenty
men camped at the line for every
homestead to be secured. This
shows to what a straight our people
are already being driven for homes,
Notwithstanding the country is yet
new, and should serve as a hint to
the homeless to secure and hold
homes before it is too late.
