POOR PUSS' PLEA.
AlturaS County, Idaho, Wants
the Legislature
To Aid Her in Her Poverty The Ill-Feeling
between Alturas, Logan and FL
more Counties.

BELLEVUE, Idaho, Jan. TO- Special tel
egram to THE HERALD. Two years ago
Logan county was created by the legis-
lature. 1t and Elmore county were
cut off from the old empire of Alturas
county. Alturas had long been the
largest and richest county in the territory,
yet Notwithstanding its empire of territory
1t had regularly grown in Indebtedness I'M
Til its bonded Indebtedness amounted to
over 100000. The tax rate had all this
time been ED up to the top notch allowed
by Congress. The last legislature carved
out Logan and Gilmore counties from Altu-
ras, believing that small counties could be
governed more economically than the old
empire. In the division a fair apportion-
ment of the Indebtedness of the old Altu-
ras was provided for, giving Elmore and
Logan their pro rata according to property
valuation. Alturas defied the legislative
act, refused to appoint accountants to adj
just the debt, applied for a mandate i'm
peding the organization of Elmore and Lo
gan and was defeated. The county then
took an appeal to the supreme court of the
United States, was defeated again, and Lo
gan and Elmore stood as counties, ap-
proved by the highest court of
the land. Notwithstanding discourte
Gus treatment of them by Alturos county.
the Logan county commissioners paid their
approximate share of Alturas county's in
debtedness, Sl25,00O being paid to the in
terest fund. Now comes Alturas county
to the legislature wanting redress. She
claims poverty when she has resisted both
Logan and Gilmore counties in their honest
endeavors to pay their just proportion of
the debt. Last year the assessment of AL
turas county was made purposely low to
show that Alturas was unable to support q
county government. BY this means Altu-
ras pays less than its proportionate share
of expenses to the state. The other coun
ties are paying on fair assessments. ana it
comes pleading poverty as an excuse for
past extravaganza. The outcome of the
Legislation is watched with interest. Altu-
ras county swears vengeance against
Logan. Elmore and Logan, offshoots OF
Alturas, are cool and collected

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Butterworth,
from the committee on appropriations, re-
ported the legislative appropriation bill and
II was placed on the calendar.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the army appropriation bill.
Cntcheon. of Michigan, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, explained
tha, the bill was purely an appropriation
measure and contained nc general legisla-
tion whatever. The amount carried was
$500, 400 more than the appropriation for
the current year.
Lanhaza, of Texas, took occasion in
speaking of the unanimous action of the
committee on the bill to deprecate section
alism.

the colored people of the south to obtain
the right TO exercise their franchises and

fusinE to recognize soldiers by electing

PRICE AT NO PRICE.
Attorney General Miller Flatly
Refuses
TO APPOINT LITTLETON PRICE
tial to Mr.. Beatty-Pinkham's
Chances for Marshal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. TO- Special telegram
to THE HERALD. The attorney general
fatty refused to appoint Littleton Price,
of Haley, United States judge for Idaho.
1t is a direct slap in the face for the three
Senators, all of whom united in a request
for his appointment. The objection to Mr..
Price is based on the charges filed at the
department of justice, rejecting upon his
moral character The three Senators
frankly referred TO these charges in their
endorsement of Mr.. Price, but added that
they were all the outcome of an
episode in his life long passed, and that its
memory would never have been again re
yived but for the fact of his candidacy.
They spoke in high terms of his legal ex-
perience and general fitness for the place,
and laid special stress upon his many and
generous qualities. 1t was no use. The
attorney general had pre-judged the case,
ana he has already notified one of the Sen
ators that MIR. Price cannot be appointed.
Perhaps the attorney-generars partlality
for Mr.. Beatty may have influenced MIN
in this matter. / say perhaps, but l
cannot speak positively upon this
point Bat l have reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Beatty will in the
end be selected. Two of the Idaho senators
will protest strongly against his selection,
and they may possibly prevent it. In that
case compromise candidate will probably
be agreed upon.
1t is by no means certain that Joseph
Pinkham will be appointed marshal Pink
ham, it will be remembered, was also
recommended by the Senators. Charges
have been fled.against him, but of charac-
Ter different from those against Mr. Price.
The attorney general is apparently well
satisfied with the present incumbent and
from what learn would be willing to con
Tinue him in Office.

Illinois Legislature Alliance Members, POLICY

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan 10.-The standing
of the three Farmers alliance members of
the lower house of the general assembly
in the coming senatorial fight is no longer
one of uncertainty. While it is not vet
known who their candidate will be, it is
certain that it will not be John M. Palmer.
Representative Cockrell In an interview
this evening said that under no
circumstances would he or his col
leagues support Palmer. They had
no objection to Palmer particularly
except that he stands on the old Demo
cratic doctrine that the government can
make nothing legal tender but gold and
silver. What we desire is a per capita
circulation, and we want an American sys-
tenn of finance. We have come to the con-
clusion that money is neither silver nor
gold, nor any other metal. This old Dem
ocratic idea OF money, which is also eD-
dorsed by the Republican party, is a fraud.'
Cockrell further said it is their Irrevocable
decision not to support any caucus nomi-
nee of the old parties, or any other man, if
they have any doubt as to his views on the
question OF money. I'VE will elect our
man or force cthe Republican or Demo
cratic party to adopt our policyu
