FOR COUNCILaIEN.

Sentiment Already Gathering Around
Certain Prominent Citizens.
The municipal campaign will become
of growing Importance from now until
the May election. There Will be sew
eral changes in the CounU.. nd
question. 1t is understood that Mr.
Trout, in the First ward, and President
Hawthorne, in the Second ward, have
# positively refused to run again. There
will probably BIO change in tho Third
ward.
There will be strong effort made to
bring forward the most representative
men in each ward who will be especi-
ally qualified to act efficiently in carry
ing on municipal improvements.
Already discussion is rife and certain
names come forward with a persistence
which is practical testimony OF tho
efficiency. of the gentlemen named
In the first ward Mr.. j. T. En-
gleby is suggested. He is man Of
affairs, merchant. a banker, thor
oughly posted as to the needs of the fire
department., and familiar with every
branch of the public service.
In the Second ward sentiment seems to
crystalline around Chief Engineer w.
w. Coe. His peculiar fitness is mani
fest when the heavy appropriations for
streets and sewers are considered.
The situation in the Third ward is
peculiar. 1t covers deal of ground, is
thiokly settled, and stands sadly in need
of numerous improvements. The men
whom the Third ward will support must
be well-known, popular and must have
the confidence of the labor organiza-
tions. The name of Mr.. George w.
Ramsey has been suggested and his
strength will be conceded at once.
There will be, of course, changes in
the Council, and the changes may go
further than at present visible, but the
city is pretty well stirred up in the mat
ter, and Is going to have the best men
available, No menecan afford to sacri-
fee the time required for service in the
Council, but it is o. public duty forced
upon them, this time more strongly
than ever.

George Richardson, the young man
ing Jack Dooley Wednesday evening,
was given preliminary examination
by Justice Howerton yesterday after
noon, and is now free.
Even before the hour of trial the
court room was packed. 1t was impos-
sible to get through the doors, and the
police had to exert considerable author
ity to make room for the witnesses.
George had been furnished with
clean suit of clothes, and came in court
looking exceedingly tidy. He was rep
resented by Messrs. Scott & Dupuy.
Mr.. Smith was also present to represent
the commonwealth.
Officer Merriman, A. J. Foster, Charles
Allison, Charles Nelson and S. L. Dick
-inson were examined. Their evidence
was the same as previously reported.
Officer Merriman insisted that the indi-
cations showed the boys were kneeling
down when Jack was shot.
The examination was very thorough
and exhaustive. The commonwealth
had no further evidence, and submitted
the case to the defense. Mr.. Scott,
representing the defense, Immediately
took the floor and demanded the dis
charge of the prisoner. Mr.. Scott said
not particle of evidence had been in
troduced to show that George had any
thing to do with the killing. The COM
monwealth had proved nothing. Laying
aside Georges admission, which had
been made to certain parties, the owl
'denco aGduced was not enough to send
him on.
There was absolutely no connection
between the prisoner and Jack Dooley.
If the commonwealth wished to make
case against tho prisoner, they must &C
cept his own statement.
Mr.. Smith objected to turning the
prisoner loose. He said that George
was seen in company of tho deceased
was seen coming from that direct ton,
and was last seen in company with
George Richardson.
After considerable argument by coun-
sci, 1t was decided to hear Georges own
story. He told it in a straightforward
manner and carried pleasant counte-
nance. He was closely questioned both
by his attorney and Mr.. Smith. He
never varied in any statement. Every
thing was pointed, and Georges frank,
honest face carried great weight.
Mr. Smith asked THE TINES reporter If
Georges story was the same as told on
Wednesday night, when he made his
first confession. He was told it was ex-
actly the same.
A few more witnesses were examined
to show that George and Jack had been
good friends, and no differences had ex-
listed between them.
Mr.. Scott then asked that the prisoner
:be discharged.
"All right" said the justice. George,
you will know how to handle pistols
hereafter, won't you?"
Eyes, sir. I'll never carry any more"
Mr.. Richardson took his son in his
arms. Then the aged grandmother,
who had raised him from baby, put
her arms about his neck and kissed him.
George had host of friends. They all
pressed around and congratulated him,
and George went home-free. Nothing
but the sad thought that he had acct
dentally killed friend will ever weigh
upon his mind

lpAHo's first State Legislature has
resolved itself into body that stands
self-convicted of being either very
corrupt body or body of fools, or
both. The great "Idaho Congress
is now the laughing stock of the
whole country. A Legislature is
Judged by what the majority does
or what is accomplished or not ac-
complished by the body as a whole.
The Idaho Legislature has disgraced
itself by very meagre majority, and
although our Legislative body will be
the butt of ridicule for the whole na-
ton, and our State as well, for the
Legislators are presumed to be our
representatives, but Idahoans, (whils
they condemn the disgrace and odi-
um that has been heaped upon the
"Gem of the Mountains" aud under a
protest strong and almost unanimous)
will remember with kindness those
who voted in the minority, and with
vindlctiveness and just hatred the
constituencies gang that voted to
make young Idaho and her first State
Legislature ga Kissing and byword." ."
Every scene and every act in this low
comedy-The Clagett Combination

Inconsistency, a base motive and a
total disregard of the oft expressed

SENATOR Mcconnell is wide awake
to the interests of every section of
Idaho. 1t is interesting to mark the
extent and range of his proposed
legislation. The shortness of his
term and the blockade of legislation
now being suffered in Congress will
keep him from carrying through any
great number of his bills, but it is
hoped that his successor will display
an equal energy in forwarding and
fostering ldaho's interests.-Lewis-

Caldwell TRIBUNE: The press
of Idaho, regardless of politics, are
publishing very flattering notices
about Senator Mcconnell. He is a
surprise to all, and is probably the
only Z. S. Senator on record who
had his little say before he occupied
his seat twelve hours. He well rep
resents the independence and rustic
of his constituency, and is, we doubt
not, consequently hated by the up
holders of Senatorial courtesy, which
rules that Senator only acquires the
right to speak, by long, continued
service. MoConnell's method is re-
freshing, to say the least, and al

A MORMON Bishop has been lurk-
ing around the capital, and Mormon
Bishops are noted for carrying sack
when necessary to down their enemies.
OF all men in Idaho, Dubois comes
in for the greatest share of their ha-
tired. He was the organizer and lead
er of the anti Mormon party in Idaho,
and the anti Mormon party caused
the enactment of the Idaho test oath.
Perhaps this Mormon Bishop knows
something of the influences brought
to bear to cause a number of members
of the Legislature to execute the great
and sudden acrobatic feat knowa as
the grand flip flop. Dubois has done
nothing since his election to cause
this change, aad Clagett has added
nothing to his own glory to gain fol-
lowers, so there is no apparent reason
for the change. The people of Idaho
have neither lessened their preference
for Dubois nor embraced Clagett, so
what's the matter? The only natur-
al, reasonable inference is that some
dark work has been done. The al
legged doubt of the regularity of the
election of Dubois is too utterly thin.
If his election is irregular, and will
not stand, a new election would be
all right after the Senate of the U. S
so declares; and what's the matter
with Mcconnell and Shoup, who were
elected at the same time? Now, to
be consistent, the Legislature will
have to elect two more Senators
This would give their disgraceful pro-
cesdings a show of consistency, but
nothing more. 1t would, at the same
time, cause the righteousness of theiI
actions to loom up more grandly, anc
make them doubly notorious for be-
ing greater even than Thompson's ia
nous, immortal colt-famous for the
peculiar gift of nature for which sale
ancient colt is so universally noted.

THERE must be money, though
there is no honor, in electing a fourth
Senator. Well, there's most always
two sides to everything. We NOR
tails, while losing in enc way, gener-
ally gain in another. This is the
eternal balance of things. Why not
keep on electing? While having a
farce, why not have a great big one
without limit?
