The railroad situation again presents
itself for the consideration Of the citi-
zens Of Lewiston. AS the TELLER pre-
dicted some time ago the battle opens
upon the question of subsidy or 10 rail-
road. If the coming conference be-
tween our committees and Presiacn.
Oaks leads.to any definite proposition
on his part, then it is to the interest of
every citizen to spare no effort to make
the conditions that the road officials
require. II President Oaks means to
complete the line it is not likely that
he will impose conditions that we Cali
not meet. II he should acceed in the
conference to our proposition of right
of-way and depot grounds, then the
citizens should rise en- musse and raise
the guarantee. 1t can be done. It
must be done. The time for parsimon-
ionsness is long since passed. This is
no time to bicker and debate. If we
get definite proposition and work for
1t in happy concord, the road can lie
secured this year. This is the crisis f,s
Lewiston and there Is hope in the out
look. We have excellent crop indica-
tons for the year; we have powerful
allies at hand; we have deal of past
experience as warning Of opportuni-
ties lost from inaction and delay. If
the present offers anything strike
while the iron is hot.

Forty-five years ago, when the FAM
inc immigration poured into this cOun-
try from ireland, the plague and ty-
plus accompanied 1t, causing an in
crease for several weeks IN the death
rate of New York similar to that of the
past few weeks from the same cause.
There was another visitation of typhus
just after the war, and still another,
when in 1881 great wave Of degraded
immigration broke upon our shores.
Fortunately the disease is one which
is under control Of modern sanitary
methods. The job of stamping 1t out
is q disgusting and disagreeable one;
but Deyond these features It is not
difficult, and the medical authorities
Of New York have 1t already we'll in
hand.

The tramp question seems to be agi-
tating different parts of the country
just ut present and some very COM
mendable schemes have been advanced.
The plan advanced by All exchange
was the use Of whips. 1t seems to
be effective as was recently demonstra-
ted at Cairo, ILL.,, where quite num-
Der Of them were rounded up and
treated to a dose Of the leather, and the
result was stated to be very effective.
While this method Is wholesome medi-
cine for certain class, yet there are
some who would work and only require
the opportunity. The plan followed in
some cities of giving tickets.to all par
ties begging for aid, referring them to
the City Board Of Charities, who can
take time to investigate all cases and
relieve the deserving, Ivy providing
work or necessary assistance, and
promptly reporting all vagabonds, who
would have the temerity to present
themselves, comes nearest reaching all
classes. You can promptly dispose Of
q tramp by presenting one Of these
cards, and continuous round of cards
would cause the undeservlng to leave
town or work, either Of which ends
would conserve to the public welfare.

It has been predicted all along in
the dispatches that when the vote
actually came that the senate of the
United States would sit down on the
claim of William H. Clagett for the
Idaho senatorship in such forcible
manner as to show thatit was almost
utter folly for him to bring the contest.
Nobody believed that the contest was
more than bubble any way, but the
time Of the senate has been occupied
for many days in the discussion Of the
case, and the Idaho senators have been
more or less handicapped by the con-
test. On the final vote there was only
q paltry Ave against the seating of
Dubois. Clagett himself got eight
votes when the question wac upon his
right to the seat, with total of IS
votes against him. There was only
one republican vote In favor Of Clagett,
and that was Stewart Of Nevada.
Sanders Of Montana took great paips to
explain that he would have voted for
Clagett II not paired. He expressed
himself that he was sorry that he was
paired, a. he desired to go on record as
against Dubois. It was certainly q
peculiar situation that after complete
airing Of all the facts In the case that
only eight senators believed in the pre-
tensions Of Clagett. Senator Dubois,
however, Il stronger in the capitol now
than he ever was before on account of
this attack upon his right to the seat,
and he win in the six years before him
be able to accomplish great deal for
his state.

'"rhe attack upon our sailors by the
Valparaiso moh In October was certainly
q deplorable occurrence" says Edwin
d. Mead in the March New England
Magazine, 'Of a character which no
government, whose duty it is to protect
Its citizens, can overlook. We can UNI
destand it best by bringing it home
and changing its clothes. II just at
the time of the Trent affair in 1851,
when Americans Were most infiamed
against England for her sympathy
with the South In the war, a hundred
sailors had landed from some British
man-of-war anchored In Boston har-
Dor, for an evenings carouse in the
North End of the city, and row had
resulted starting in some tavern brawl
between some Of their number and
some turbulent North Enders, leading
to general raid by mob and a riot
which could only be quelled by the
police, after two Of the red-coats were
killed we should have in this Just the
equivalent Of the affair In Valparaiso.
But what Of 1t? There would have
heen no cause for war In all this, unless
the national government refused to ex.
press it, regret, and to take steps to
bring the individual offenders to jus
tice. There has been no such refusal
on the part Of Chill; but although the
processes Of South American courts are
slower even than those Of Louisiana,
whose dilatoriness fretted italy so
much . year ago, and although Chill
10 hardly yet out Of the throes and fever
Of civil strife, with q government In
working order, an impartial reading Of
the correspondence shows that che did
every thing that could fairly be ex-
pected, by way ofapology, and Of press
ing judicial inquiry. Her minister Of
affairs at once wrote Of the Valparaiso
affair to cur minister a. . deplorable
event."

The refusal to give $4,000 cash to the
Kesley Institute, by Cheyenne capital
fsts, for the purpose Of eliminating the
festive grape juice from the systems Of
Idahoans, speaks well for the state.
Keely has never estimated the amount

Dan take In life time and still die

ties seem acquainted with the facts
and hence ref0se to place capital where
