We believe the State Board of
Equalization meets in . few days
and that under thu present Law it
becomes its duty to- ASSESS rail-
roads and telegraph lines. This
has been dreadfully bad year on
railroads and the operators have
scarcely made running expenses.
Together with this is the fact that
Idaho is sadly in need Of more
railroads and every legitimate in
ducement should be held out for
their propagation. When the
board meets, these things should
be- taken into account. Further-
more, this has been a hard year on
farmers and stockraisers and
trades-people and laborers, and
this fact must not be lost sight of.
Therefore, the board will do we'll to
regard with great care all the
equities. Railroads should be
valued on tho same principle az
other property. The came lem

Last week the text Of . letter
written TO Senator BLAND was pub
lishod in The Tribune. As was
said, it was signed by . number Of
Caldwell business men irrespective
of party. BY way Of encouraging
BLAND in his noble fight OH behalf
of silver, the idss Was a good one,
but some Of the language and
sentiment, in our opinion, was OBJ
jectionable to the last degree. BEN
EDIcT ARNOLD furnishes Ameri-
can history with its horrible ex-
ample" A. WASHINGTON stands
for all that is pure and noble,
ARNOLD personifies all that is bate
full and abhorrent. We are afraid
that the parallel in the letter to
Senator BLAND is oyerwrought.
We are not prepared, to believe,
that the children Of the United
States ought to regard JOHN SHsl-
MAN and President CLEVELAND as
traitors. Our Caldwell friends
have permitted themselves to be
carried away with enthusiasm.
Treason Is the most awful crime
that man ID capable of. Itincrudes
and dwarfs every, other offense, no
matter how heinous. We cannot
believe that the President of the
United States is traitor to the
people Of the republic. We cannot
believe that, and language which
charges on him the crime is ex-
travagant, disloyal and and fool
hardy. Such talk might be excused
on street corners or in the heat
Of political debate, but is wholly
united for calm and thoughtful
expression. That SHERMAN and
CLEVELAND are radically and funda-
mentally wrong on the financial
question is admitted but they are
not traitors. and When people talk
about their names going down, into
history along side Of BENEDIcT AR
NoLD's, they talk bald insanity.

more philanthropy in the breast Il
a railroad corporation than in the
bosom of a farmer or merchant:
there is not much more need Of

behind each is the same, and they
all ought to be treated alike.
If the one is subjected to q high

man wants to see railroads unduly

selves to a carousal of bombast,
demagogy and vulgar abuse, our
Populistic friends should not quib-
BILE over nicities of expression.
Such fastidiousness does not COM
port with the demeanor of gentle
men, who in convention, purported
TO represent them.
THE TRIBUNE does not design to
enter upon the defense Of Govern.
or McCoNNELL. We cheerfully con.
cede everything charged against
him, if snch concession will carry
with it any measureof qualification
TO the Populists. We are compel
led to admit that the Governor
made mistake when he assumed
to turn q representative convention
into an anarchal mass meeting.
Under other and. ordinary circum-
stances, it would have been indis-
Greet for him to use the language
at the head of this article. But in
the Ketchum convention it was
pre- cminently good form. It was
just few shades more decorous
than the average. 1t was as far
in advance Of the prevailing ex-
preston in that convention as any

ture. That nine-tenths of the ut
terances came from Populistic
throats is misfortune which we
are generous to deplore. We do
not like to see any class Of people
libeled by irresponsible, unteason-
able and ranting representatives.
But it is all over and we merely
desire to apprise our friends Of the
Peoples party that nothing trans
pired in that convention which will
ever rebound to their glory as a
political organization. Of mis-.
takes made, theirs are quite as
numerous and distinguished as
their worst enemies could desire.
The fight on the organization was
simply an exhibition of political
fencing, quite entertaining until it
became monotonous. 1t terminal

be aggrieved except the vanquished
politicians. And while they are

pertinent whether or not Populists
sre susceptible to inttruction, but
their strong physical resemblance
to the rest Of mankind warrants
favorable suspicione. Starting out
with the general proposition that
vein Of honesty runs through the
Populistic ledge, and that on the
whole they design to do come good
IL the world, we want to show them
wherein they are committing one
egregious blunder. Their vanity
seems to blind them to one Of the
plainest traits in human nature.
They do not seem to comprehend
the rudimental fact that no man
was ever converted to intelli-
gence by accusing him Of being 3
lifelong, graceless fool. " II Popu-
lists regard the prefent political
agitation and dieaffection az: q
capitulation, Of the old parties in
their favor, they ought to advert 10
the fact with great delicacy. There
il something ia the spirit Of man
that abhors confession Of defeat
and causes him 10 rebel when the
victor, rightfully or wrongfully, ex-
ploits his victory. When it is as
sumed that because the Republic
cans and Democrats in Idaho are
slmost determined to cooperate
with each other on the silver ques-
ton, that they have slun.psd, pell-
NELL into the arms Of the Pvpuliets,
q mistake is made. If, however,
thesPopulists believed that to be
tho case. good sense would direct
them to keep silent on the point.
II Populis,s were inspired by cor
rect motives, they would regard
possible coalescence of parties ae
compromise, in Difference to which
they would have to yield as much
MS any. BY a polite and concili-
story course they might eventually
enlist all parties under their ban
ner, and we want to impress them
with this fact. They must, in ap.
pearance, at least, 60 ont to meet
their old enemies, not as victors,
but carrying flag of truce and
treaty stipulations. They must
handle this matter with consum-
mate diplomacy else they will
awaken to the discovery that
Democrats and Republicans have
snade common cause against
them and while adopting some
Of their principles will utterly
ignore their organization. The
existence Of the organization being
Of greater moment to scme Popu-
list leaders than the survival of
-its principles, thepforce of this sug-
'esstionr Is apparent. We again
caution the leaders aga inst exploit
iog themselves as models and
prophets. II is all we'll enough for
them to hug themselves with the
knowledge Of their superiority, but
they must strive as much as pos
