THE modern habit of Judging OF
ones merits as a citizen and man
by what he has is pernicious in
itself and demoralizing in its ten
denotes and effects, inasmuch as 1t
inclines the rising generation to
prefer money to character. The pos
session of wealth is honorable only
when it has been honestly acquired
and is nobly used. Our judgment
of the personal worth of a citizen
should, therefore, be based upon
how he acquired and uses his richse,
and not upon how much he has.

HUGH McGRAw, formerly we'll
known resident of Alturas county,
and a man of good impulses, ability
and education, died at Silver City
on the Goth of January, aged about
SO years. Deceased was from Nor
thern California to this state, and
once took a prominent and active
part in the politics of that locality
but being of highly social and
convivial nature, had fallen into the
maelstrom Of drink, and when we
last saw him was pretty much7of a
wreck, mentally and physically
But unfortunate as he was, many
besides the writer Of this, will re-
greet his death.

Builders Should Be Owners.

A number of our exchanges are
urging the men Of capital in Custer
Alturas and Elmore counties, and
at Butte, Montana, to assist 10 the
extent of their means in putting
the Boise. Butte railroad through,
but it does not seem to have occur
red to one of them that the men
who invest their money should have
ANYTHING for it beyond the pleasure
and convenience of having rail-
road through the section described.
There is no doubt but that road
from Boise to Butte, traversing as
it would the rich mineral, timber,
farming and grazing territory COM
prised in Elmore, Custer, Alturas
and Lemhi counties, is a very de-
sirable thing. Neither is there any
doubt but that it is needed badly
and that it would benefit the coun-
try through which it would pass as
nothing else could ; but why should
men who have money, or the pub
lie either, build railroads for corpo-
rations to grow rich on2 Why
should not these men take stock in
the road, become shareholders to
the extent of their investments, and
when the road is completed, assist
in it's management and control and
reap share of its earnings? The
road can be constructed and equip
ped for $45, 100 mile, and honestly
operated will pay dividends on that
amount. And our local capitalists
are doubtless able to take % per
cent of the stock at that figure,
once they come to see it in its proper
light, and would probably do it.
There is little prospect, however,
that gentlemen, either here or in
Montana, who have sense enough
to have money, will grow enthusi-
astic over a. proposition to aid in
building railroad for the barren
pleasure of seeing corporation
enriched by their expenditures.
Men Of sense generally want some
return for means or labor invested,
and if the Idaho press were to de-
vote more space to the labor of con-
vincing capitalists that the Boise
Butte road would be a good invest
ment for their own pockets, as it
would be, the enterprise would not
long need money or friends, as every
man in Southern Idaho is already
fully alive to the needs of such a
road, and to the inestimable benefits
it would confer upon this part of
the state.

MYSTERIOUS disappearances are

MYSTERIOUS disappearances are
agitating London just now. About
forty people have passed from sight
as completely as if the earth had
opened and swallowed them. Men
of means go from home on visits
and vanish like meteors, and the
police can do nothing but look and
marvel at what they do not see,
each feeling that it may be his turn
to disappear next. It is a torturing
state of affairs from all accounts,
and enough to agitate even so great
q city as London.

THE U. s. Supreme Court has fin
ally terminated the Nebraska gov
ernorship contest by giving the
office to Boyd, the democrat. There
was never much doubt in our mind
about Mr.. Boyd's eligibility. We
believed and still believe that Thayer
presumed to defeat an opponent by
rascality who had beaten him at the
polls, and think that the supreme
court would have been justifiable
under the circumstances in admin
istering severe rebuke along with
the rendering of it's decision.

cy, and they and the democrats will
see that no harm shall come to you

DUBOIS, it appears, is not yet
sure of his seat in the Senate. The
fight is still on, and as the friends
of Dubois have turned their biggest
guns on Senator Stewart, it looks
as if they feared for the outcome OF
the contest. We hope the best man
will win, though we can see no adj
vantage that can accrue toour party
from the seating of either.
Since the above was put in type
the committee has reported favor

THE Salt Lake Weekly Times asks
who want free wool? 1t is pretty
safe to say in reply: Those who wear
shoddy in lieu of wooden clothes,
and are subject to a double expense
for clothing and at the same time
deprived of the warmth and respect
able looks they would receive from
genuine wooden garments. And
these compared to the manufactur-
ers, who alone are benefited by the
tariff on wool, are as the peaks of
the Sierras to the sands of the sea.

In time of peace we pose before
an admiring world as Christian
nation anxious to settle all of our
little misunderstanding by peace
able and bloodless methods. AS
| becomes a civilized and Christian
people, we abhor throat cutting, and
becomingly mourn the barbarism
of people who fight. But let the
tocsin of war be sounded, and at
once a legion of tigers leap from
their lairs, and the welkin rings
with huzzas to the bloody moloch
of war, as witnessed in the recent
Chilean matter. Now war is either
right or it is wrong, and right and
wrong being fixed and external prin-
ciples, war cannot be right with US
and wrong with others, nor right
when we are the party wronged or
injured and wrong when another is
the sufferer. If, therefore, it would
have been right for US to make war
on Chile, because of the outrage
committed by an unruly mob in the
streets of Valparaiso, it is right for
England, Germany and Russia to
trample out the weaker nations
around them as they do and appro-
pirate their territory upon whatever
real or pretended pretext Of injury
or outrage they may have or invent
Personally, we are opposed to war,
though less firmly rooted in the
faith than formerly; and we are glad
there is to be no war with Chile for
the reason the bandit class of the
country would take advantage of
such calamity to immensely in
crease the public debt, and our pro-
ducing classes would be made to
pay more billions in principal and
interest for little barbaric revenge.
War should only be INDUCED as a
last resort; and when it must be
INDUCED the men who fight should
require their government to exer-
else its proper function, to issue
money and pay the expenses as the
fight proceeds.
