RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

In the near future a home for the
homeless veterans will be establish
ed in this state, and the old sold
iers whose lives. have not fallen in
pleasant places will find safe and
comfortable haven in which to
lass their declining years. This
is but just tribute to the gallant
men who fought and bled in de
Tense of their country's flag and
preserved the nation from disunion
and decay. The great state of
Idaho cannot be to generous in its
regard for those scared and wound
ed heroes and orphans of the brave
souls who fell On the battle field to
arise no more on earth. The loca-
ton should be the best the state
affords and every appointment
should be cheerful and pleasant
and comforting. The old soldiers
should be made to feel that they
are not only the states most cherish
ed words, but, indeed, nations ven
cradle savoirs. This brings US to
the issue. Much of the success of
the soldiers home, much of the
happiness and comfort Of
the inmates will depend OIL the
character and benevolence of that
veteran, honored above the rest,
who is selected as commander
That officer should be a man Of

There are plenty such in the
Grand Army, but they are modest

dissertation of the Sabbath.
Their piety is not shocked in that
way. They believe that inward
prayer and sanctity is about as
good for the souls of men as de-
monstration in churches. We be-
lieve that a visit to the fair on
the Sabbath when the spirit is in
clined to religious contemplation,
will do more towards wiping out
the original sin in man than any
church on earth. We believe the
granduer of his SURF oundings, the
ponderous mechanisms, the noble
architecture, the chaste and beau
tiful pictures and statues, the lakes
and woods and flowers and music
will sublime the soul and bring
man to a better understanding of
the power and mercy Of God than
all the sermons which have been
preached since Christ's sermon on
the Mount.

ment. We have in mind at least
one missiah that would make
valiant commander in. chief of a
soldiers home. Such service
would be in direct line With his
war record and crafty his noblest
ambitions. In some secluded dell
where the climate was salubrious
and the scenery reposeful, secured
from invasions and instructions,
battling only with capacious appe-
tite and comfortable salary, the
Messiah would obtain full fruit
ion of all his hopes and aspirations
of military glory. The old warrior
would revel in carnage of quar-
ter-masters stores. He would cut
off communication, raise the FORTH
cations, intercept supplies and
bring the enemy to unconditional
surrender in three months, and
every last veteranwould be parol-
ed never to return under penalty
of disgrace and starvation. We
respectfully submit our Messiah to
the tender mercies of the Grand
Army of the Republic.

A MISTAKE.

Some of the anti-divisionists
have not got over it yet, and not
having anything substantial to
grumble and kick about, have con-
jured up the idea that taxes are
higher here than anywhere else.
This seems to give them kind of
morbid satisfaction. Now that is
all wrong. The average here
throughout, the state is about two
dollars and fifty cents. Taxes
here are below the average and in
two years hence they will be far
lower than at present. There is
not another county in the state
administered as economically as
Canyon county is. The best thing
that could ever have occurred to the
people here was separation from
Old Ada, and by the way, it was
not a bad thing for the people of
that county. Perhaps it was a
little tough on some of the pro,
fessional politicians and office
seekers, but what hurts them
generally helps honest. people,
Canyon county got the bone and
sinue, the youth and energy of the
old County, and will soon come tc
the front as the first and foremost
county of the state. This talk o.
increased taxation is all mistake

SUNDAY FAIR.

people surged in. 1t is said that
many Chicago streets were desert

and rejected. That was the natur-
al consequence of throwing open
the fair for Sunday visitors.
There are thousands of strangers

people may be good citizens and

NO DEMOCRAT.

Ex-Governor Stevenson says he
opposed the appointment of Col.
Jones, of Blackfoot, as Register OF
the Land office, because he, the
colonel, is not good Democrat.
The governor is eminently correct
in his judgement of the colonies
political status. The colonel is
not good Democrat. In fact the
colonel is singularly exempt from
these attributes to which the ad-
jective good is applied felicitously.
But the colonel has his appoint
ment and the governor has his dis
appointment. This is not a Demo-
cratic administration and the gov
ernor was foolish to indulge in the
, groundless hope of Democratic re
ccgnition. The governor destroyed
his political influence when he en-
gagged his friends to certify his Rbli-
| teal standing. Straight Demo
Gratis must try to realize the factthat
they have ceased to be political
factor in the country. The mug
wumps and non. descrips are the
pigs in clover for the present. Old
liners will have to row up beside
Republicans and chew the rag for
four years to come.

USELESS TIMBER.

and silver as the standard money
Of the country, and to the coinage
Of both gold and silver without
discriminating against metal or
charge for mintage"-Democratic
platform Of 1892. If that is not
free coinage declaration, what is it?
Now, we hope the Democrats will
exemplify that doctrine by actual
performance. but we fear that that
plank was only put into the plat
form to stand upon during the
campaign. There has not been
word uttered by the Democratic
administration since election which
would give grounds for bope that
(. there is any serious intention of
carrying out the free coinage
feature Of the platform, except that
which denounces the Republican
party as unfit and unsafe to hold
public office and draw salaries.
There is not one chance in thou
sand of any relief for silver during
the next four years, but there are
abundant prospects of adverse leg
islation. We suspect that spec
ial session of congress will be called
for the express purpose of be-lying
the free coinage plank. President
Cleveland and every member OF
his cabinet are radically opposed
to free coinage of silver. They
have become SO utterly imbued
with Wall street ideas that nothing
can b&hoped from them. 1t really
begins to look as if both old par
ties might wreck on the same shoal
But, perhaps, the Democratic mis-
take will thoroughly open Repub'
licans eyes and if not, then the
Populists must come to the coun
try's relief. 1t is last resort bu

State Senator Underwood had

State Senator Underwood had
himself interviewed by a Statesman
reporter and took occasion to expi-
ate ON the delights of visit to
the Worlds Fair he had recently
enjoyed. Among other things the
senator spoke Of was the cheapness
of living in Chicago, compared
we presume with his ordinary
style. He said that he and his
wife subsisted comfortably on the
ridiculous sum of seven dollars q
day. Well seven dollars a day
may be an insignificant sum to
senator who grasped the oppor-
tunities of last winters legislation,
but the thought will force itself on
some minds that previous to last
winter that was pretty gorgeous
diet for the Senator from Bear Lake
county.

HARD TIMES.

This, it seems is the summer of
our discomfort" There is murmur-
ing and uneasiness and appre-
hension everywhere. Money is
growing tighter, prices are shrink
ing, markets paralyzed and the air
is full of impending crisis and
calamity. What is the cause and
where is the remedy, are questions
which trouble every. thoughtful
mind. The time is passed when
those questions can be turned aside
as the spectres of gloomy passionists
or nightmare Of disordered brains.
The times are hard, and there is
no mistake about it. What is the
cause? The earth yields as
abundant harvest as ever it did.
Nature is as prolific as ever it was.
Men eat and drink and swear as
they always have done. The
world is richer than ever it was
before; yet, the cry of poverty goes
up throughout the length and the
breadth of the land. The wages
of labor are higher today than at
any other time in the history of
the country and dollar will
purchase more of the comforts and
necessities of life now than at any
other time, we know anything of;
yet, laborers are driven to socialism
anarchy and despair. Fifty years
ago, the farmer had to haul his
wheat a hundred miles to market,
and he sold it three bushels for a
dollar, and he traded that dollar
for three yards of calico and went
home contented, happy and prosper.

or ten miles, sells it for fifty cents
and gets six yards of better goods

HARD ON BOISE.
The Statesman says:

Memorial Day is an occasion that ap.
peals to the patriotic impulses OF
Americans, but the anniversary in
factory to a multitude OF self respect
ing people if a man had been selected
to deliver the address.
Mr.. D. P. B. PRIDE is the person
who delivered the address, and
whatever his gender may be, he is
as manly as the motive which in.
spired the above squib. In this
connection, it is no disparagement
of Mr.. PRIDE to admit degree of
moral turpitude that ought to un-
sex him. AS Memorial orator, Mr..
PRIDE represented those who had
charge ofthe services, though he may
not have exempiified in his own
private character the consecrated
reputation of a Boise audience.
A Memorial address is but fun
eral address elaborated, and it is a
questionable critic that will slur
the priest on such solemn occa-
sion. We do not know what posi-
ton in "self.respecting society,"
Mr.. PRIDE occupies at present, but
it is not long since he hob.nobbed
with the very elite of Boise City.
And, perhaps, he might deem it
but doubtful honor to be given
carte blanche into the squeamish
circle represented by the States
man. However this may be, the
Statesman's slur is a direct insult
to those who managed the cere
monies; it is libel on the moral
sentiment of the capitol city
What must be the character of {
comm unity which will permit I
creature unfit to be called man
to fulfill one of the most sacred off
ces of American citizenship
What shall those people be called
Mr.. PRIDE is certainly no wors
than they. We would not under
take to say that Mr.. PRIDE is al
angel-angels are very scarce il
this country-but we suspect tina
morally he averages with his EN-
; vironments. And more than that
taken all around he is about tn
brainest man in Boise. We sus
pect he was selected to deliver tn
grafton because he knew how to d
it a little better than a "mul titud
of self.respecting people" who pre-
tend to be 80 awfullv shocked.
