THE physician who should tell sick
man that his condition was dangerous.
and he would have 10 oct out of bed at
once and take 10 the woods, even if he
died. would be kicked out of doors by
the sick mans friends. That is the
kind of treatment prescribed for the
debtors of Texas by the defenders Of
The alien land law. The law is likely
to wreck thousands OF fortunes. they
admit. but after that i over with the
state will be in better condition. In
the ease Of the sick man, proper nurs-
ing would bring him around to health,
while rigorous measures would kill
him. \ sensible alien law in Texas
will cure the evils that exist without
crushing the life out of our own people

A CONTESTANT FOR the Gibbs prize
for the best plan of getting treasury
notes among the people, proposes the
bold plan Of per capita distribution.
This : pretty good start toward com
muni-m. Il takes from the men who
have property and distributes among
those who have none. These notes
must he paid when they fall due. They
must be paid by the Taxpayers. Men
who pay no taxes will bear no part
Of the expense Of discharging the debt.
though they will have received-and
spent-theiI full quota Of the per capita
issue. II we are to enter upon a career
Of communism let's 90 the whole hcg.

" What . Fall was Thereto

What q wonderful place is Caldwell
Our Boise City friends have been pay
ing US all sorts Of compliments for the
past month, although probably not
meant as such. They say that no one
outside of Caldwell wanted division:
that q few caldwell schemers' were
the prime movers and the only ones
fighting for it. Now we always knew
there no flies on Caldwell, but when
Boise City gives us credit of boarding
them In their own den, Board of Trade,
Doodle and all, and numerically twist
ing the coyotes tail, turning him inside
out and then kicking him for being in
the way, our bosom heaves with pride
and, like Alexander, we sigh for moro
worlds to conquer. Now seriously, We
had an idea that 700 good citizens
helped in this matter, but Boise and
BascIentine insist on laying it al on to
. few Caldwell schemers." Think Of
It.! The mighty capital Of q great state
laid waste by q handful of vaudals
from Alkali Flat! Well may the GOV.

Silver City Avalanche.

Silver City Avalanche.
Charles Osterman, q carpenter who
has bean resident Of this county for
several years, employed around Silver
City and De Lamar, and who has been
making his home at Demands Ferry
during the winter, went duck shooting
on last Sunday, and not returning at
night q search was made for him the
next day, when he was found with near
" tho whole side of his head blown off.
Coroner Richter went down to the ferry
and held an inquest on the remains.
Osterman was upwards of fifty years
old, good-natured, easy going German,
addicted to occasional sprees, but man
who always took the world 90 easy that
his friends can scarcely imagine that he
got tired enough of it to snuff himself
out. He had been on q spree during
the week. He had no relatives in this
country, we believe.
Chas. Osterman will be remembered
by many in Caldwell as the comical
Dutchman who used to tend bar for
Guy Becker. He had many friends
who win be shocked to learn his fate.

wouldn't be 20 much after all.

Tho City Election.

In another column will be found a
call for city election on the first Mon
day in April. This is Of great import
ance to every citizen of Caldwell. The
city is now about $1,000 in debt. and
there is considerable discussion as to
the proper methods Of raising sufficient
revenue to run the city government
properly. The debt is small when COM
pared to the improvements made by
the present council. Side walks have
been built, trees planted, grades estab-
lished, and a thousand other things.
But 1t exists nevertheless, and will
have to be met. An Ordinance reouir-
ing the saloons to pay city license was
laid on the table ut the last regular
meeting, and from present indications
the next election will be fought on the
grounds of license or no license. It IL
q sure thing that tho revenues viii
have to be increased, and the expense
diminished. THE TRIBUNE believes
that the Office Of night watch should be
abolished, and the marshal required to
serve nights and the peace Of the city
placed In the hands Of our numerous
constables and deputy sherihEs durinr
the day. We also think that vaerants
and DRINKS should be made to work or
leave town, and not be fed by the city
IN JAIL Whether tho income win be-
increased by increased taxation or bv
placing license on saloons, drays.
markets, ETC., will undoubtedly be de-
cided by vote Of the people ON April
9Th. The issue has already been made.
The effect Of tho new license law will
have its influence, but as yet no one
KNOWS what that effect will be.
Laws are not published in Idaho. and
the only way to find out what they are
is to unknowingly violate them. But
this has nothing to do with our city
finances. In the language of Grover
Cleveland they are condition, not a
theory" and must be met as such.
