STILL AANGING FIRE


The official count has now been 60
ing on for some days and from all the
indications things are considerably
mixed. 1t seems that few or none of
the election returns have been made
out according to law and that most of
them will have to be corrected before
the commissioners can proceed with
the count. What the nature of the
discrepancies is we have not at this
writing learned, but if nothing more
than mere technicallties, it strikes as,
all things considered, the commission
ers ought not to be too strict. The
election law is new and its provisions
are numerous and complicated, there
fore, mistakes were to be expected,
and as far as possible should be over
looked. The Enterprise does not be-
lieve IN quibbling over election re-
turns unless there be strong indica-
tions of absolute fraud, or some such
violations of law as would tend tC
vitiate the purity of the ballot. We
are not criticising anybody at the
present time, because we presume
that the Board of Commissioners are
performing their duty as they under
stand 1t. We simply express the
sentiment, that where returns are
reasonably straight they ought to be
counted and then if anyone feels ag
grieved let him seek redress by the
usual method of contest. On th'
other hand, if upon their face, thu
returns Indicate crookedness, ther'
should be no hesitation upon the par
of the Board about throwing then
out. If there are returns bearing
date of November 8th upon whicl
the ink is yet moist, we do not thinl
they ought to be counted, notwith
standing the precedent set by for
mer Board. At all events the resul
of the count ought to reflect the vot
of the people.

A. Wyatt, Of the Payette Lakes,
and who owns u boating samsner re-
sort in that picturesque region, is here
to spend the winter for the first time
10 three years. He is also here with
blood in his eye regarding the viola
tion OF the ish and game laws. He
says the Wholesale catching Of fish
and killing Of deer have almost de-
populated the streams, lakes and for
ests. The famous red fish have al
ready been extermina;ed- not one
having made its appearance this sea-
son in the lakes. An agent who had
visited the lakes for specimens of the
red fish for the worlds fair left sadly
disappointed. Other varieties of fish
are rapidly going. Tons Of white
fish had been seined and shipped for
sale out of the State; while one party
had shipped six hundred deer hides
in one batch, the animals having been
slaughtered for their pelts alone, and
their destruction still goes on. The
same WITH elk; where hundreds could
havc been seen two or three years
ago there are now none. Mr.. Wyatt
has the people with him in saying that
the coming Legislature should pro-
vide means for the preservation of
fish and game. A marshal or com
mission should be created whose duty
it would be to watch and arrest and
hiring to punishment all persons who
violate the fish and game laws; and
If there is no law prohibiting the
slaughtering of elk and deer for their
hides alone, one should be enacted
and enforced.

I'm'd and inslncere people always
hesitate about expressing their opin.
ions OF 40 qualifying them as to leave
them in a haze and doubt. and
sometimes the question is raised
whether they are not wiser than those
who, having pronounced views, give
them clear and forcible expression.
1t is possible, of course, to go to an
extreme in this regard, and thus to
offend or to do damage to ones in
terest, but in the main the man who
has the courage Of his convictions Is
in the right. To deny it is to ques-
ton the value of truth, frankness and
honesty. The essence OF living or
untruth is deception. A false state-
ment may not be lie, but an error,
it it be not intended to deceive. The
man who conceals his opinions or
withoids them for the purposes Of de-
ception is knave. The honest man
is frank and courageous. He saws
what he means and he means what
he says, and men instinctively honor
him, even though they disagree with
his views. 1t may, however, be free.
ly admitted that we may be some
times too obtrusive in giving ex-
preston to opinions. Some people
make the mistake of forcing their
opinions upon the attention of others
in order to maintain reputation for
boldness; others give expression to
them in offensive terms. Such men
may be honest, but lacking in discre-
ton and tact. The man who de-
ceives no one by silence or by words
and offends no one by the manner of
speech, wins respect and deserves to
do so, for he IS not only an hone st
man, but man of tact, and when he
has courage-the courage that shrinks
not from defeat, but aims only to
preserve the right with faith of a
true Christian, the right will some
day triumph. He is character con-
spicuous among his fellowmen.

Sentence Of . Boy HorsethieG
Bellevue Herald.

Bellevue HerAid
In the District Court last Monday
Judge Stockslager sentenced Allen
Bartemas to three years in the State
prison for stealing horses. Bartenas
is boy eighteen years of age, but
his record shows him to be thief of
more than ordinary calibre. Early
last spring he stole some horses from
a rancher near Tikura, below Belle
vue, and taking them to Boise sold
the outfit and made his escape. 1t
was tv ,lve hours before the officers
there became aware of his visit to that
city, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were on the outlook to intercept
him by request Of Sheriff Campbell
of this county. The latter, however,
kept after him, and Bartemas, learn
ing that the officers we're on his trail,
fed through Utah, Wyoming and Col
orado, finally being caught in Neva.
da about July lst. sheriff Campbell
took him to the Pen last Monday.

STATESMAN: The action of the
monetary conference on the 2Sth ap-
pears to have been of great impor-
tance in that Baron Rothschild sub
mitted proposal looking to largely
increased use of silver. The baron's
proposal is not very clear as report
ed by telegraph, but its main fea-
ture is that European governments
shall purchase s25,00O,000 of silver
annually for FIVE years a, 63d. This
is equivalent to about sl.25 an ounce.
What effect such purchases would
have can scarcely be determined; /;
but, if, as we believe to be the case,
there is no great surplus, the market
price would Immediately advance or
some favored brokers would enjoy a
STAT" trade. Certainly it would dem
onstrate how much of a surplus there
is, and it would as certainly show the
most timid that there is no reason
why this government should not adopt
free coinage and reap all the mani
fold benefits that it would bring
Rothschild's plan seems like petty
method of dealing with great ques
ton, but if 1t will effect the result
aimed at we can afford to let the sup
porters of British monometallism in
dulge in pantomime to their heart''
content.

FOR TIE STATE ROAD
The Dili - Provide fsr Iss Cssstrue-
tlen - Receive decd support.

This county has q Legislative del
egation solid for the State wagon
road, the route OF which has been
surveyed from Banner to Kootenai
county. Two years ago, when the
road bill was before the Legislature,
It was opposed by one OF Boise coun-
TVS Legislators and given ; sort Of
back action support by another, leav-
ing only one to fight for its passage.
Notwithstanding this, it passed the
House by . large majority and the
members Of the Senate were q tie, so
the bill failed to pass. There is every
reason TO believe the bill will 20
through this winter. The survey was
made the past summer and the route
proven to be practicable one, and
the cost estimated at much less than
the friends of the bill two years ago
believed it could be put through for.
More than this, the grades are much
easier than any one acquainted with
the country through which the sur
vey runs believed could be secured
None of the grades are too steep for
a railroad. The route of the road is
through the greatest mineral section
of the coast, but will never be opened
up without road. If we desire to
see the mineral belts of our State
opened up, we must construct roads
The chief wealth of Idaho lies il
her mineral belts, and anything and
everything for the development Of
those belts should engage the atten-
ton of the people of the State. The
richest sections of Idaho are isolated,
and their development is naturally
slow. The expense of delopment is
great, and the ore, after being ex-
tracted, cannot be marketed except
the very highest grade-the cost of
packing on mules, hundred miles or
over, being too great A wagon
road is the great need of those Sec
tions, and road they must have to
make those now isolated districts
producers on a large scale. A road
through Idaho will be the means Of
increasing the wealth and population
of the State as nothing else can. The
cost of the road would soon be re.
turned to the State treasury IN the
way of taxes on property that the road
will be the means of bringing into
existence. The State will lose moth.
ing by making the appropriation
In fact, it will be the gamer in more
ways than one. The surest way tc
put a State on the route leading tt
wealth and prosperity, is the construc
tion of roads. Wagon roads come
first and are soon followed by rail
roads. Boise county's delegation il
the next Legislature is enthusiastic
for this proposed State road, anc
since a survey has demonstrated tb'
fact that the road is practicable, many
Others will be found working will
them.

old and respected citizen, and reg
ular visitor to town, scarcely missing

teered to see If bc was sick. He
found him lying on his back, dead,
about eighteen feet from the door, in

WILL MAxDAMUs HIM.
A Test Case to be Brought I'm the
Supreme Court

Statesman, 18th.
This morning two mandamus suits
will be filed in the Supreme Court.
Both suits will be brought against
Wesley B. George, Auditor of Logan
county, the first by John G. Cunning
ham and the second by James Otter
son, to secure a writ of mandate to
compel the Auditor to issue them GER
tifcates of election as Commission
ers of Logan county.
The application as prepared in
which Cunningham is the relator
states that at the recent election held
in Logan county the relator secured
plurality of all the votes cast in
the county for the Office of Commits
sioner of the Second district. The
Board of Commissioners, in canvass
ing the vote for Commissioners,
counted it by districts instead of by
county. Charles B. Ford, having re-
ceived a plurality of the votes cast
in the Second district was given a
certificate of election as Commission
er of that district.
James Otterson, relator in the Sec
ond application, states that he re-
ceived plurality of all the votes cast
in the county for the office of Com
missioner of the First district. james
L. Fuller. who received a plurality of
votes in the district, was given a cer-
ti6cate.
Cunningham and Otterson are
Populists, while Ford and Fuller are
Republicans. Joshua Winters, an
other Populist, received plurality of
votes cast in the county for Conmis-
sioner of the Third district and, il
Auditor George is compelled to issue
certificates to Cunningham and OF
terson, the Board will be Popullst
throughout.
T. J. Jones, the we'll known attor-
ney of this city, will present the ap-
plications this morning in the Su-
preme Court. The other attorneys
for the relators are Fl. L. Hampton,
N. NJ. Ruick and E. B. Lennon,
we'll known Wood River lawyers
1t is altogether likely. an alterna-
tive writ of mandate will be issued
and the question at issue will be set
tied by the subsequent action of the
court.
The decision of the court will set
tie the problem of whether the Law
intends that Commissioners shall bs
elected by the vote of their district!
or by the entire county.
Case Remanded.
The Statesman of the 3Oth say
that in the Supreme Court on thu
, 29th the wrlts of mandamus agains
Auditor George, of Logan county
were applied for. The court re
, manded the matter to tine Distric
) Court of Logan county, which is nov
in session, and which, in the opinion
of the court, had original jurisdiction
/. in the cases.
