REFORMERS TO MEET.
A Call Issued for II Gathering in Cincin-
nati-The Object.


CHICAGO, May 1O.-G. NJ. Miller, OF
Chicago, representing the executive
committee of the national reformers,
has issued call for meeting to be
held in the parlors of the Palace hotel,
Cincinnati, o., June 2s, to determine
what part the organization should
take in the approaching campaign.
The call says among other things:
1.-The object of the national reformers has not
been to maintain an additional political party,
but has been TO unite the aggressive reform
forces of the nation on the finance land, trans
portation and suffrage reforms and suppression
of the liquor traffic. We believe that the genuine
reform elements are rapidly becoming ready
for such union, and that by wise counsel and
prudent procedure on the part of those who are
fully aroused TO the necessity OF union, this
vitality important result may be effected in tho
near future. We therefore invite all such of
whatever party, TO join us in an informal confer
ence for the purpose of adopting some plan by
which TO promote fraternal relations between
the reform parties, to the end that a
union may be effected, and If this be
not at present practicable that such at
titude may be maintained by the respect
i've parties toward each other that union against
the united evils which they oppose may be eff
fccted at u later date, and II deemed wise to ap-
point an appropriate committee TO secure n fa-
vorable consideration OF such policy of fraterni-
ty and union by the national convention of the
prohibition and peoples parties respectively"

THE TREELESS PRAIRlES.
A Theory That They Owe Their Nude Cor
dition to Fire.

ditiOn to Fire.
Much attention has been attracted by
theory recently advocated with great
ingenuity by Mr.. Miller Christy, in En-
gland, that our western prairies owe
their treeless condition to fire. This is
by no means new theory, but Mr..
Christy has developed the arguments in
its favor more fully than had been done
before.
Readers of Cooper's Misunderstanding
Tales" will remember the vivid descrip-
ton of prairie fire in the account of the
last days of old Natty Bumppo, and no
body who has any knowledge of the
power and sweep of such contiagrations
will question their capacity for destruc-
ton.
According to Mr. Christy's view, the
prairie fires, at the same time that they
have exterminatcd the forest trees, have
also enriched the soil by the successive
deposits of mary layers of ashes, which
possess great value as a manure, so that
the sweeping off OF the trees has not
been an unmiXed evil.
Where great forests may once have
hidden the face of the earth, according
to this view, we now have the broad
and wonderfully fclSilc grain fields OF
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
and other states, and the agent that has
wrought the transformation is that de-
structive and fearful element, fire.
In support of his views, Mr.. Christy
points to the facts that trees are found
even on prairies in spots where they are
to some extent protected from fire, anG
that yo,,ng trees readily spring up il
many places, only to be swept away
again when the flames race across tn,
grassy levels that surround them.-

Giving evidence before the labor COM

five per cent. of them had second suit

they were SO much subject to veXatious
prosecutions that he had known ninety
cases before Mr.. Newton, at Marlborough

GERMAN SOCIALISM.
Origin and Growth of This Powerful
Movement.

Movement.
German socialism dates back to 1910
with the accession of the romantic
Frederick William ~. to the throne.
The social democracy owes its strength
to the labors of Marx, although Lasalle
was the originator of the idea. In 1864
there were only 4,610 socialists. In 1871
they cast in Berlin 6,695 votes; in 1878,
57,511. In 1884, in the elections to the
Reichstag, the socialists polled 100000
votes and returned twenty-four MEM
bers.
Bismarck originated his anti-socialist
legislation in 1878. The progress of
socialistic ideas, not only among the
masses but through the universities,
had become very marked, and the Iron
Chancellor professed to be greatly
alarmed as to the outcome of the move
ment. When in that year Hoedel and
Modelling made an attempt to take the
life Of the aged emperor the govern
ment made it the excuse for legislation.
At first the law was directed only
against the propaganda of socialism.
and under it more than fifty newspa-
pers were seized. But the law was
gradually extended until the expression
of socialistic opinions, the holding of
meetings or the oral discussion of mat
ters pertaining to it either in private or
public, were prohibited. In short, about
the only political right and possession
that were not taken from the socialist
was his vote. These laws, however,
were not permanent, but had to be re-
newed from session to session. In 1890
Bismarck conceived the plan of making
them permanent, and to give the police
administration the power to eXpel a So
cialist from the empire at it's pleasure.
Surprisingly, though the government
was largely in the ascendency in the
Reichstag, the bill was overwhelmingly
defeated and Bismarck received his first
crushing blow. The decision of the
Reichstag was reaffirmed by the coun-
try, and Bismnrck's anti-socialist law,
instead of becoming part of the per-
manent law of the country, was al
lowed, with the consent of Emperor
William, to expire.
In 1871 there were 4,565 dwellings in
Berlin that contained no room that
could be heated; 76,S32 lived under
ground in cellar dwellings,; 95,42S peo.
pie had only one room that could be-
heated. In the poorer districts there
were 20 removals to 100 dwellings, The
great increase since then in the manu-
featuring element has swollen this pro-
portion.-Boston journal.

without the authority of the high
Offices they hold, little damage
would have followed. But what
right had they to prostitute the
name of the state? They claim it
was thoughtlessness. There is too
much of that kind of thoughtless-
ness prevalent in state offices. Men
whose private names would not
carry as much weight as feather,
ballast their endorsements with Off
cial titles and the state suffers the
consequent disgrace. But there
are no fifty people in Idaho who
believe the reference story. Men
do not become presidents of insti-
buttons without having some
knowledge of it's affairs and some
interests in its profits. This in an
other miraculous conception story
and just eighteen or nineteen hun
dred years too late for the credulity
of mankind. We believe that
Moody and Harroun are just as
guilty as McEwen and Squiers and
more so on account of the offices
they hold. And if ever McEwen
and Squiers are brought to trial,
the facts will develop in support of
our belief. But they may never be
brought to trial. They were not
indicted for that purpose, The
motive behind that grand jury was
just as stated in the dispatch, "to
lift cloud Of suspicion from two
state officers" The effort, how
ever, will prove abortive as of right
if should. A cloud that COM

What a comedy dozen or two
men can make when organized in
to grand jury, and especially is
this true when their work is all
mapped out for them months be-
fore they are called to act their
part. After the "powers that be-
have told them that an indictment
against Tom and Dick is to be
found; that their report is to deal
out great amount of taffy to the
dear people, yet to cover Jones and
Robinson all over with spotless
coat of whitewash, those that are
acquainted with the facts and all
who can reason from cause to effect
becomes thoroughly Disguised with
the gauzy farce that is being en-
acted in the name oflaw.
We are glad that the federal
grand jury did not find an indict-
ment against Judge Harroun and
Auditor Moody. AS citizen of
Idaho we feel that it would have
been a lasting disgrace to the peo-
pie of this state that they should
have elected men to offices whose
influence would the better enable
them to rob the hard working and
poorly paid teacher of this country.
Squiers and McEwen were men of
matured intellect, designing,
shrewd fellows who found no diff
Guilty in leading unsophisticated
officials astray. All that was
necessary for them to do was to
mention the part that the public

and the performance took place i'm
mediately, while all inquiries into
the general reputation of the con-
Germ went over as unfinished bust
ness, and probably never would
have been taken up had not med
dlesome newspapers logged their
memory.
Of course Mr.. Harroun and Mr..
Moody knew nothing of this bureau.
Squiers and McEwen told them
that $4,000 teachers were wanted
in Idaho, and as state officials they
knew nothing to the contrary. The
advertisements stated that this
number was needed at salaries
ranging from SIS to $3.50, and as
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, Mr.. Harroun probably thought
they could not get along with less

a little hotter fire under them than
he does under most of his guests,
for their offense is a heinous one.
We are sorry they must die before
receiving punishment for this
crime, but then they never will be
found, and all the faithful work of
the grand jury will be lost. Not
all lost, for they exonerate the two
state officials, which was itself a

Quiet Benefit.

Fred Luca Squiers. the secretary
of the northwestern school teachers
bureau, was arrested in New Or
leans last Saturday, on an indict-
ment found by the U. S. grand jury,
at Boise. If Squiers is being made
the scape goat of the defunct edu-
cational institation it is more than
likely that he will be heard
from when the time for trial arrives
as he told the writer that he would
cut his own throat but would not
allow another to.-Nampa Leader.
The investigation of the north
western school bureau swindle by
the United States grand jury at
Boise last week exonerated Supt.
Harroun and Auditor Moody. This
is good for these gentlemen, I'VE
are glad of it for their sakes and
for the credit Of the state. The
present state officials in one way
and another have had a superabun-
dance of free advertising, not only
at home but abroad. What has
been said about them ought to be
sufficient to last them at least for
one whole term of office. For this
year it would be nice for them to
bear lightly upon the soft pedal
and make no bad and startling
sounds to fill all ears again and put
wagging tongues in motion.-Black-
foot News.
Messrs. Squiers and McEwen, of
the fraudulent bureau of education
scheme, have been indicted for
their acts in connection with that
villiany; but Moody and Harroun
escaped a like fate, as we under
stand the reports of the affair, on
the ground of ignorance. Such a
plea avails some people, and Justly,
but we are hardly ready to believe
that those two gentleman are
victims of so great an intellectual
shortage. 1t is possible they did |
not know of the guilty acts of
Squiers and McEwen, but-oh,
well, it's only a link in the ever
frightening chain of republican
misdeeds that must be answered
for at the polls next fall. But the
scondrels who, to enrich themselves,
were guilty of obtaining money
from poor school teachers by the
damnable acts practiced by Squiers
and McEwen and their confreres,
and of attempting to lure them
here at still greater loss, only to be
disappointed on their arrival,
should be severely punished To
this proposition we think all will
agree.-ketchum keystone.
