Several Kinds of Bribery.

It being probable that there has been
money used to influence members of the
Idaho legislature to vote for OF against
some public measures, the bribers and
the bribees ought to be prosecuted, and
if the evidence is sufficient the guilty
parties ought to be punished. The gov
ernor of the state has done right in call
ing the attention of the district attorney
to the matter.
But there are ugly stories to the effect
that Governor MCCONNELL resorted to
methods to influence legislation, which
place him on ground little if any higher
than the position of the alleged corrup-
tionists. If it is true that 'she asked no
favors for which he did not provide an
exchange, both the favors received and
the favors given to be at the expense of
the taxpayers, as alleged, the trading
thus attempted is unlawful and as much
in the nature OF bribery as though a
tender of money was made to effect legis-
II is very we'll understood that Mr.. Nc
CoNNELL aspires to the position Of United
States Senator. 1t is charged that his at
tempts to increase the members of official
places under the pay of the state, and al
SO the amount OF their salaries, were
part of his plan to reach the goal of his
ambition
1t is stated that he was thwarted in
most of his schemes through the vigilance
and opposition of the Democrats and
Populists. They were CON- to his little
game and were determined to defeat it.
We do not pretend to say that all these
disclosures of the governors plans and
methods are correct, but we do say that
any bargains for the passage of certain
measures for certain considerations, need
not include the payment or promise of
money to bring them under the category
of bribery, both in moral and legal
sense,
1t IS not uncommon for members of a
legislative body on opposite sides OF a
question to compromise on terms OF
mutual help. You vote for my bill and
! will vote for yours, is the proposition,
and it is made often without regard to the
merits OF such measures, and sometimes
against the convictions of the parties as
! to the rightfulness OF. expediency of the
legislation. All that is in the nature OF a
bargain, and is bribery as much as il the
agreement was made on money basis.
Corruption should be stopped if posi-
BILE in the entire public aervice. The peo-
pie will applaud the endeavors of any
public officer to remove or prevent 1t.
But he must have clean hands himself or
he will succeed simply in exposing his
own wrong and making his uncleanness
the more conspicuous.

Sound and Straight.

! Governor STONE of Missouri has at
tracted national attention because of his
stalwart championship of the rights OF
each state in the Union as against i'm
proper Federal interference. He may
have been somewhat extreme in his views
Of the power of Federal courts in the par
ticular case which brought forth his pro-
test. That we do not attempt to decide.
But that there has been disposition and
! tendency in the direction Of undue au-
thority of Federal officials over state
affairs many prominent papers declare,
and the governors utterances are strongly
endorsed.
1t is on another matter that we
echo the sentiments of Governor STONE.
A short time ago he was waited upon
by a committee OF the American Protective
association. 1t is a secret order, but
those gentlemen did not SO inform him.
They stated that they were requested to
ask him on behalf of their association not
to appoint any Roman Catholics to office.
Governor STONE informed them that he
was opposed to the organization to which
they belonged and had no sympathy with
its purposes. He was opposed to the in
PRODUCTION of religious test into politics.
He was himselfa Protestant. He did not
believe in many of the dogmas of the
Catholic church. But it was none of his
business if some other man believed them.
He concluded with the remark: ssThe
most insufferabIe OF all evils is religious
blgotry. The church should keep its
hands off the state. !"
There is no mistaking the meaning of
those words. They are ringing and right.
Religious tests are not to be tolerated in
this free country. One religious body has
no right to infringe upon the liberties of
another. A society organized to prevent
members OF any church from the exercise
OF their political rights and privileges
simply because they hold tenets that are
contrary 70 The views OF trr- ,oiat- is

DURING THE last week of the late Con-
gress an attempt was made to engraft
upon an appropriation bill an amendment
to run railroad into Yellowstone park
at the fifty fifth parallel, going down
southeast and then turning and running
directly northeast, cutting out an oblong
slice at the end OF the northern part of the
park. Senator VEST made one of his
strong speeches against it, called it a
mutilation, said it would drive off the
game, and in general would undo what
the people had done for the establishment
of great national reservation, and would
result in the destruction of the timber,
grasses and ferns which grow upon the
mountains, precipitating the floods that
rush down the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers and submerge the farming lands.
An interesting debate followed, which
was cut off by point of order, sustained
by the chair, that the amendment pro-
posed general legislation and was there
fore inadmissible.

No Certainty. No Cash,

The appearance of shifting and endeavor
to avoid responsibility on the part of the
protector of the copper refinery concern,
does not give assurance to the ordinary
mind that the project is entitled to the
pecuniary support proposed for it. The
information published in THE HERALD is
a warning to the trustees of the subscrip
ton fund to ''look a little out. The
agreement drawn up should be closely
scanned and scrutinized. They must
take no chances. mo bond, no bonus"
must be supplemented with-no certain
ty. no cash. We don't want $50, 600 re-
atty for s5OO, 900 promise.
The HERALD does not desire to throw
cold water on the copper works. 1t would
be a good thing to have a large factory
employing goodly number of hands, in
this city or close by. We want to hear
the whistle of such works. That is, if it
is unlike the prolonged and wretched
shrek OF the electric light works. But
we must take care not to "pay too dear
for our whistle .
1t is all right for promoters to make
some money in working up such concerns
as these. But nobody here wants to see
any one pocket enough out of it to put up
decent factory and run profitable bust
ness. Let all proper care be taken to Sc
cure the interests of the people. The
seekers after the bonus will be sure to
look after themselves.

The IDEA conveyed in the expression,
'To the victor belong the spoils, :" is a
relic of barbaric warfare. Victory, in
ancient days meant turning the success
fui army loose upon the enemy for rape,
rapine and all kinds of spoIiation. 1t is
not for the rewards of Office that the
masses of the Democratic party fight, but
for the triumph of the true principles OF
government, the enactment of pro-
per laws and honest, economical admin
istration. "Turn the rascaIs out" is a
good and proper motto, and it may be ex-
tended to include the siothful, the scandal
lous or the unbeftting Office holders, to-
gether with those who adhere to pernic-
nous partisan activity.

This COMMUNITY, having in perfect
fairness and good faith, provided the
magnificent gift of 500, 600 and a site for
the proposed copper refinery, are entitled
to fair dealing in the matter of fulfilling
the promises under which the bonus was
raised. And it looks to the trustees of
the fund to see that the conditions of the
subscriptions are fulfilled to the letter,
without ifs, butts or ands.

Liberals should indeed Go some ''hard
thinking" And they should do it for
themselves. They will, then, if they
have ordinary sense, come to the conclu-
sion that if they lave any inclination to
either national party, it is time to go
where they claim to belong and quit fool
ing and fighting against the party which
they ought to support. The Liberal party
is dead. Why linger around and hang to
its decaying carcass?

THE PROBABILITY is, notwithstanding
newspaper gossip about the way the Sen
ate committees will be constituted, that
the chief changes, besides providing for
the new members, will be in reversing
the positions of the Democratic and Re-
publican members of the old ones. Thus
Democrats OF longest service in the mi
nority will be made chairmen. This, of
course, Is subject to arrangements OF
transfers to chairmanships of other COM
mittees on agreement, to suit Senators.

qualities both of statesman and pa
triot. In the selection Of his cabinet
the president has shown decided cour-
age, and gives evidence that he looks
for the welding together of the most
prominent political questions and needs
of the nation into what he doubtless
hopes to be the new Democratic party,
built on a foundation broad and stable
enough to hold popular favor for an in
definite period. While it would be
pleasing to all Republicans, looking at
the new administration from a parti-
san standpoint, for the Democratic
party to blunder into nameiess errors
in policy and legislation, the welfare of
the nation is above every other consid-
Grafton, and it is to be earnestly hoped,
therefor, that during the incumbency
of President Cleveland the American
people will continue to enjoy the grow
ing prosperity and blessings of peace
which have been their heritage during
the last quarter of century.

WILLIAM r. SMITH. the Scotch poet
began when he was a lad of 10 in Athel-
/ stoneford, Haddingtonshire, Scotland,
when with the first shillings he ever
earned-won as a prize at school for re.
citing Gray's "Elegy" without faw-he
purchased a copy Of Burns poems. His
appreciation of the bard's Scottish dec
laration of independence, "a mans a
man for a that" brought him to the
United States and caused him to become
a thoroughly ingrained American
Since then, by patient rummaging of old
book stores, by purchase, correspond
ence and exchange, Captain Smith has
gradually assembled his wonderful col
lection. As his first 2 shillings were
spent for a copy of Burns, he says, so
will his last half dollar be.
In Captain Smiths collection the Amer
lean and British editions of Burns are
grouped separately. Among the 100 diff
ferent editions is beautiful facsimile
Of the first edition published, that of
1856, printed at Kilmarnock, 6vo. Then
there is a well preserved copy of the first
Edinburgh edition, 1887, printed for the
author and sold by William Creech,
with Beugo's famous engraving of Mas
myths portrait Svo., and an equally well
preserved copy Of the second Edinburgh,
svo., with portrait and typographical
error which escaped the eagle eye of
Burns and has been repeated in many
editions, down to some of the very late
est, notably in Alexander Smiths Globe
edition. In addition to these he has cop
les of all the early British and American
editions, making $50 volumes in all.
The superb and almost priceless col
lection is the labor of Mr.. Smiths life,
and in size and quality it is inferior only
to the famous Burnsiana at Glasgow.
Besides old books there are in the collec-
ton valuable Burns manuscripts, prints,
short songs, portraits, autographs, Gu
rios, relics and mementos gathered BY
years of fervent enthusiasm.
The place where these literary treasures
are kept is the history lodge which Cap
tain Smith occupies in the Botanic gar
dens. In this lowly dwelling Captain
Smith has resided through the varied
mutations of politics at the capital for
longer period than any other official
there, save in the case of the venerable
Captain Bassett of the senate. There,
with his dogs and his books, Captain
Smith finds the most congenial compan-
ionship for his declining years.

THE NEW ADMINISTRAT TON

Grover Cleveland has been duly in
augurated as president of the United
States, and for the next four years will
have larger influence than any other
single American In shaping the des-
tines of this great republic. That he
should have been elected to this high
Office after having served for one term
evidences confidence on the part of
majority Of his countrymen in his
strength and integrity and gives what
must prove to himself gratifying en-
dorsement to his former administra-
ton. While it remains to be seen what
will be the policy to be pursued by the
new executive and his advisers, it is
reasonably safe to predict, judging from
Mr. Cleveland's former conduct in
office, that unless his plans are ham,
pered and his hands tied by his parti-
sans in power, the present administra-
ton will be both conservative and, as
far as possible under the circumstances,

revolution in legislation. II any
changes are made, they will take placs

The newest wrinkles in timepieces are
q watch that talks and clock that
marks the time by the consumption of a
candle that eliminates its translucent
dial. The watch, which is ingenious, but
intricate, announces the hours and quar-
tiers in avoice given it by photographic
attachment. 1t is the invention of q
Swiss named Casimir Livau. The clock
is for night use. The dial can be turned
by hand, and before going to bed the
hand is placed opposite the hour of re-
firing As the candle burns lower and
lower it pulls the hand ON the dial me
chemically, which, illuminated in the
rear by the burning light, shows the
hour until dsybreak.
