SIGNIFICANT PROTESTS.

A memorial has been drawn up in
the Democratic city of Baltimore and
signed by 2,ooo Worklngmen, of whom
1900 are Democrats, declaring that.
"the workingmen of Baltimore, taking
into consideration the history of tariff
legislation in the past, firmly believe
that the passage OF the Wilson bill will
cause great reduction in the amount of
employment furnished American work.
ingmen. We therefore, respectfully
protest against its becoming law. We
call upon our Senator'S and Represent
atives in Congress to oppose with ali
their power the passage of the Wilson
bill or any other bill that will reduce
the amount of employment or lessen
the wages of American worklagmen.
This memorial is fair specimen of
hundreds of such protests and resolut-
ions all over the country which are
receiving the signatures of Democratic
voters.
Thus far there has been no memorial
pm workingmen or business men
praying for the passage of the Wilson
bill ; if there has been, it has escaped
our notice in the multiplicity of resolut
ions and calls for meetings to protest
against that ruinous measure without
regard to party.
These protests cannot be too frequent
or too emphatic. There are Democrats
in Congress who are not warmly
asornmitted to the policy of the Wilson
bill, and there are not few others
who are apprehensive of the political
disaster which would befall the Demo-
cratic party if it were to become law.
There are no doubt others who privately
believe that in the present conditions
of business and with declinlngrevenue
in the Treasury 1t is the height of folly
to spring such an agitation on the
country and to revolutionizs our indus
81 system. The popular appeals to
ess, coming as they do from

Rass Walters ARRIVES in the City and
Mas = Werd - 0ay.

9xeteemen, Jan. "a.
Russ Walters, one Of the parties
interested in the Snake river diamond
fields, arrived in the city yesterday.
To . Statesman reporter Mr.. Wal
tiers said that he was not prepared to
say whether or not the stones found
near Snake river were genuine dia-
munds.
~ have been running Walters
ferry since the diamond excitement
commenced and have had nothing to
say about the matter, fearing people
might think was speaking for my
self to make trade for the ferry. l
have recently leased the ferry TO lsra-
ell Cannon and now feel at liberty to
talk on the subjett. Mr.. Kuntz, the
Amsterdam expert, pronounced the
stones found in Diamond basin to be
diamonds. The three Montana ex.
perts also pronounced them diamonds.
They went back to Montana, and
sent two other experts to the fields,
who are now there. They have To-
Gated claims besides those located by
the other party.
"One of the two Montana experts
who are now in the fields told me that
the people did not know what they
had in this part Of Idaho. You have
been looking only for silver and gold,
he said. He also told me that two
splendid gold lodges aud some very
fine mica had been discovered at or
near Diamond Basin. The mica is
pronounced by the experts to be far
above the average. 1t is found in
extraordinarily large sheets. 1t
costs the experts some money, l tell
you, to travel around, and do not
think they would fool with these
fields unless there was something
there. As far as the stones being
diamonds is concerned, know bu,
little except what the experts have
told me-"
Referring to the report sent broad
cast by correspondent who recent
ly visited the fields, Mr.. Walters sale

Idaho is, indeed, much favored in

Boise Sentinel.

Boise Sentinel.
A farmer residing on Boise river
valley, below this city, called at this
Office the other day. In the course Of
conversation he remarked, that, III
the Legislature would not give us : |
just and equitable irrigation bill this
session, he would sell his farm and
seek some other occupation. This
man only voiced tho sentiments Of
hundreds Of others. A feeling Of nm
rest and uncertainty i wide spread
among the farmers on Boise valley.
No man knows what the next season
will bring forth. They see that huge
canals are constructed by great
moneyed corporations, and that the
waters Of the river are taken from
their natural channel, and carried
out on the high bench lands, and that
there are more canals contemplated,
and If they are constructed there will
be no water left in the old channel.
Then those who live in the valley,
who pioneered the way in Idaho. in
order to defend their rights, must go
into court with a wealthy corporation
for an opponent, and when the far
mer emerges from the struggle the
ditch companies and the lawyers will
have him stripped Of the accumula-
tions of a lifetime. The men who
take the water from the corporations
ale not circumstanced any better.
They are at the mercy of the ditch
companies must pay such rates abso-
Iutely as they impose, and receive
water ON such terms as they may die
tate.
| Now there is not a citizen of this
State who has its welfare at hear,
but who is anxious to see every droT
of water in our streams utilized ir
turning our desert places into garder
spots but this should be done undel
such conditions as will not infringe
on rights already established. While
there is an undercurrent of interest
and anxiety as to the future, and darl
forbodings, the farmers themselves
are largely to-blame. No organized
effort has yet been made to presen
their views to the Legislature. A
few isolated individuals are working
on an irrigation bill. However meri
torious it may be, it will not receive
the attention it would were it en-
dorsed by the farmers as class.
If this intricate and delicate ques
ton is not settled at this session q
the Legislature it will give rise to Sc
rious and disastrous complications il
, the near future. Not only along tn
valley of the Boise is the necessit
for Legislation on this question ur
gent, but all over the broad arid dc
main. The farmers on Big and Lit
tie Wood rivers and their tributaries
embracing all the streams that drai
:, Logan and Alturas counties, are no.
involved in litigation that will ser
!, ously cripple a great majority {
them. But little time remains
which to take action, and during tn
: few davs that are left those who wi
/ be vitally affected by legislation Q
this question, should prepare to max
their wants known, and demand the
. rights.
