we'll to reject him at once. The
examination proposed is one which
any man worthy of the ommander-
ship will cheerfully undergo, and
the trustees will be traitors to their
trust if they appoint a man who
can not undergo it. Let these
questions be put to each applicant:
Have you ever earned an honest
dollar since the disbanding of the
Union Army, except as a public
Office holder? Have you ever been
accused Of forging your brothers
name on check, and if so, are
you not guilty? Have you beer.
connected with a penitentiary
scandal in the State of Idaho or
any other state, and if so, in what
capacity? Were you ever, at any
time, mixed up in state board OF
equalization robbery, and If SO,
what were your perquisites and
who furnished them? Do you get
periodically drunk on every avail
able occasion and make a holy
show Of yourself on the streets OF
Boise City or elsewhere, and if SO,
what will it cost to wean you OF
that accomplishment? Have you
ever been successfully accused OF
stealing twenty dollar gold piece
from comrade and what did you
do with the money? Would your
appointment operate as compll-
ment to the state of Illinois or
otherwise damage its reputation,
and if so, why should you desire to
inflict upon it such defamatory
adulation?
We respectively submit that any
applicant who cannot truthiully
negative all those questions is un-
worthy the command Of the
Soldiers Home, and ought to
consider himself extremely fortu-
nate if permitted to rest in OBJ
security beneath its shadow. APP
priced Of the veneration in which
everything pertaining to the Grand
Army is held by the people, the
trustees of the Soldiers Home will
consult their own happiness and
peace of mind by exercising pru'
dence and conscience in the select
ion of its principal officer. If they
permit themselves, through political
| influences or the hope of personal
advantages. to make disreputable
appointment, thus bringing dis
grace upon one Of the most cher
ished institutions of the country,
they may expect to atone to the
ipeople for the offense and faint
will cling to their names till the
taps, which herald the extinguish.
ment of the last ray Of earthly light

PRECAUTIONARY oesERvA-
TONS.

is an organization which appeals
at once to the tenderest sympathies
and noblest impulses of the
American people-a remnant Of
hallowed souls who risked their
lives on the altar Of human liberty
and national perpetuity-a living
memento' Of the greatest, grandest
struggle the world has ever known;
it ought to be the embodiment of
patriotism, honor and dignity.
The nation is proud of those
gallant old veterans and delights
in every recognition of their
matchless services. States vie with
each other in acts of benevolence
and in doing honor to their names
and memory. But the regard in
which they are held is not measured
by pensions, charities and me-
mortal tributes-these are mere
outward tokens. Down deep in the
heart of every loyal citizen lives
sentiment too sacred for such
expression; it is reverence born
ofineffable gratitude. The soldiers
of other countries have been slave;
and hirelings; ours, sovereigns and
patriots. The survivors of other
wars, despised dependents; the
survivors of our wars, a country's
most cherished idols. Occupying
80 exalted q station, the Grand
Army has inherited an obligation
which It'll its solemn duty to faith
fully discharge. Upon the shout
ders of surviving veterans devolves
the sacred Office of maintaining
untarnished the fair fame of their
comrades who fell in BATTLE, and
upon the. Grand Army rests the
honorable duty of exemplifying liz
time of peace the dignity and
integrity if the Union forces in
time of war. s
The people of Idaho, loyal to
their country and grateful to its
defenders, have not been slow to
show their appreciation in substan.
tial form. Forgetting. their own
burdens. they have cheerfully
stretched forh their hands to protect
the old soldiers from want and
misery in declining years. They
have appropriated from their
slender means generous sum to
provide a safe and comforta BILE
retreat for those who imperiled
their lives and fortunes to preserve
the nation. This splendid gratuity
is now turned oyer to the Grand
Army without question or restric'
ton, except that it shall in nowise
be employed to degrade the
character of an institution it was
intended to sustain and elevate
