Another legislature has adiour

Another legislature has adjourned
without locating the Agricultural
college. We are not surprised; in
fact we were convinced, from the
observation taken on n visit to Boise
m January, that such would probably
be the case. 1t was easy to see what
bond Of sympathy existed between
= part of the norlh and the south
eastern part of the state. 1t was a
plain "you help us get the college,
and we'll help you get the normal
school" case. The north was keen
enough get its school settled on the
start before any factions from other
parts of the state had become an
tagonized. So the Idaho Falls bill
squeezed through the house, but it
was known that it had hopeless
road to travel in the senate We have
sneaklng idea, too, that the north,
after her wants had been satisfied,
was not averse to seeing the bill de-
feated and would work to that end as
far possible without openly violating
any agreement that may have been
made; as, with the agricultural col
lege not located, she gets the use of
the money applicable to the latter,
$18, 600 this year and $19, 900 next
To all appearances Washington county
had excellent chances with the senate
and had there been someone with
vim and fighting qualities there to
push bill through and send it to the
house, we stood fair show. There
was bill to locate the college at
Weiser introduced in the upper branch
but the poor little founding, was
then left to take care of itself with no
one 10 act AS guardian. 1t got lost
and was not found again until the
last day or two of the session. There
was no lack of locating variety of
Institutions; there was school of
mines, Soldiers Home, reform school,
and even the luxury of two normal
schools was INDUCED in; all of which
are of more Importance than the
college, Of course. Other points get
these institutions, the north gets the
use of the money mentioned and
Washington county gets just what
she always has got and what she
always will get, unless revolution of
some kind strikes the people.

Speak what you think, is the advice
repeatedly given to the newspaper;
and most papers follow that policy,
the SIGNAL being no exception.
There are publishers, however, who
after having spoken their honest con-

that as far as it effects their purse
strings, it was ill advised, and that
had they played the hypocrite they
would have been better Off.

victory will perch upon the democratic
banners. The politicians are looking
upon the election, which occurs to-
morrow, not so much as it being an
endorsement or commendation of the
democratic administration, but as a
criterion as to whether there is very
much dissatisfaction with the administra-
ti0n. 1t does not mean that the next
election depends upon it, but it is straw
TO show which way the political wind is
blowing.
THE EFFECT OF FOUR YEARS AGO.
When four years ago the elections
were held it will be remembered that it
was tremendous setback for the Repub-
lican party. Campbell defeated Foraker
in Ohio and from the pararies of Iowa
came protest against republican rule in
the victory for Horace Boies, who is now
a candidate for the third time These de-
featS were attributed at that time by the
republicans to local causes, but yet it was
acknowledged that they betrayed
the dissatisfaction the people felt
with tine administration they had
elected only year previous. At that
till there had been no session of con-
gress TO indicate what would be the pol
icy of the administration upon the great
question before the country. Since the
last Inauguration there has been a session
of congress for three months, and action
has been taken on one of the greatest
questions that has been presented to the
people in many years.
NOT PARTISAN LEGISLATION.
Although the legislation passed is OF
much Importance, it is in no sense parti
san legislation. Both parties partici
pated in it. Besides, it comes too late tC
have any marked effect upon the election
of this year. 1t is believed by the close
friends of the administration, that in nc
manner can the defeat of the democrats
be attributed to the action of congress, as
both parties were responsible. 1t was
thought that the suspension of silver
purchases might give an impetus to the
populist campaign in Virginia, but even
there it is now conceded that the demo
Gratis will be successful, with the pros
pect before them tonight, and the friends
of the administration are inclined to say
that this is an "off year, and presents
nothing upon which the political future
can be based.
Viewed from the Washington stand
point, the elections are interesting as
presenting the thoughts Of the people on
multifarious questions without involving
any great political significance

ternoon for New York, where he expects
to vote in the election tomorrow.

TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY
Speaker Crisp Talks Of the Work Be-
fore the Party.

The Tax on Refined Sugar Likely to
Be Reduced Considerably, but the
Tax on Whisky, Beer and Tobacco
Apt to Be Inoreased-The Passage
of the Repeal Bill Not to Cost the
Democrats a Single Southern State.
Chicago, Ill, Nov. 6.-Hon. Charles F.
Crisp, speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, arrived at the Palmer house
last night. Speaking Of the repeal fight,
Mr.. Crisp said: The House will have
some very important legislation before it
at the beginning of the regular session in
December Representative Wilson'S COM
mittee will have its tariff bill ready at an
early day. The subcommittee has al
ready decided on the rates in the sched-
ule, and the general committee will
consider them some time next week.
believe Representative Wilson's COM
mittee will recommend a reduction of
the tariff to revenue basis, in
accordance with the declarations of the
national democratic platform. The tax
on refined sugar may be reduced con-
siderably, but the tax on whisky, and
beer, and tobacco may be increased. 1t is
estimated, / believe that an increase of
cent on whisky will add 81 100000 to
the revenues. The present tax on whisky
is 80 cents, and say it is increased to 81 20,
that would mean an increase of $50, 900,
600 to the revenues of the government
Speaker Crisp said that besides the
tariff bill, the House would come to a vote
on the bill to take off the 10 per cent tax
on state banks.
EFFECT OF REPEAL.
Mr. Crisp said the democrats might
lose a few votes in some sections of the
south, on account of passing the repeal
bill, but he did not think it would amount
TO anything serious, as the south,
| generally, believed in the Democratic
party. In Alabama, where the populists
are strong, and where some free silver
democrats may go over to them, the
Democratic party may have a more in
teresting time than usual, but he pre-
dicted no disastrous results. He did not
think the democrats would lose a single
southern state.
Mr. Crisp is on his way home to
Georgia,

they poured over the upset cars and then
set them i fire. The police were out in

less. Finally troops were sent to the
scene of the disturbance and they sue
ceeded in restoring order, dispensing the
rioters at the point Of the bayonet.

Another Exchange of Shots With
Three of the Fleeing Bandits.
Batesville, Ark, Nov. 6.-The reported
capture of three more train robbers to-
day was premature. 1t seem than at day
break this morning a posse met three of
the robbers near Wackerly's. They fired
upon and pursued them so closely that
within an hour the robbers abandoned
their horses, which were captured, with
their provisions. They dropped their
overcoats and hats in their flight on foot
Jewelry, watches, etc, were found in the
coats and saddle pockets. Bloodhounds
were put on their trail at noon, and they
were followed five miles, when the dogs
were turned back and the trail was lost.
The woods are full of armed men, and all
the outlets are thought to be guarded.
The river is closely watched.
ROPER STILL AT LARGE.
Neither of the captured robbers is
Jesse Roper. as was at first supposed, but
the most desperate robbers perhaps are
vet to be captured. These all say that
they are men and not bows, and think
from their reluctance TO fire that they
must be short of ammunition.
Trainmaster Green has returned to
Little Rock from the scene Of the rob
berry. He believes the entire gang will be
taken before many hours have elapsed.
Parties from Newport and Batesynle
say that excitement IS still running high,
and that rumors are in circulation OF the
killing Of two robbers.

Swift Still Claims to Have Been
Elected at Saturdays Session.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-At to-day's special
meeting of the city council, called by the
democratic minority to select a mayor
pro TEN. there were no republicans pres
ent, and the session was adjourned until
p. m, the sergeant-at-arms being in
structed to compel the presence of all
aldermen. The democrats still claim that
no election has taken place, while the re-
publicaus hold that the temporary sue
cessor to the murdered mayor was chosen
at Saturdays council meeting, when
Alderman Swift received one more vote
than the democratic candidate, amid
scenes of great disorder Alderman Swift
having taken the oath of office, will pre-
sent his bond for approval at the next
regular session of the council.
SWIFT FINALLY CHOSEN.
Chicago, Nov 6, II p. m.-The wrangle
over the election OF mayor pro ten. was
settled tonight by the choice of Alder
man George B. Swift, he receiving sixty
two votes, to five for Alderman McGillen,
one blank being cast. The democratic
aldermen remained in the council chamber
until 7:30 o'clock, the time set for
the regular meeting This was to keep
McGillen in the chair, under the plea
that the original meeting of which he had
been chairman had not adjourned. The
republican aldermen were locked up in a
room, half a square ftom the city
hall, to keep away from the sergeant
alarms, who had been instructed
by tle democrats to bring them over to
the meeting. At 80 o'clock tonight the
republican aldermen, followed by small
army of their adherents, marched in col
umn of tWos to the council chamber,
where they were greeted with loud
cheers and laughter by the waiting demo-
Gratis.
THE LEADERS MAKE 1T PLAIN SAILING.
The leaders of the two factions quietly
got together and it was decided to avoid
possible repetition of the scenes of last
Saturday. Everything was wiped off the
slate. A new vote was taken. McGlllen
having, on notion of a republican
alderman, been chosen chairman, ap-
pointed as tellers the four aldermen

men present. two from each of the thirty
