NO CHARITY FOR KUMNEi.S.

San Francisco is angry - very
angry. indeed! The charitably- ill.,
ciined people of the city had been
feeding 45O unemployed men for
some time, when good soul, " no
deplored the dire necessity to which
the unemployed were reduced of eats
ing unearned victuas, conceived the
idea Of Offering a we.k's board and
lodging to all who would consent TO
sweep the p.hiic park walks for two
DAYS. OF course, there was no great
urgency TO sweep the walks, as they
have doubtless been unswept ior
months and years, and may never
have been swept. But The work was
proposed in PITY for the unemployed.
Well, the 45O unemployed were
csllrd together at the "Lifehoat Of
the Salvation Army" or souphouse
where they fed. O"ly lS Of them
agreed to work.
All the others not only refused,
but then and there held an indic>
nation meeting and roundly de-
uounced tie Salvation Army for
endesvoring to "foroe the unem>
ployed into system Of ,peonsge
whereby they would te compiled to-
work at less than Chinese wages"
This made the chsri.ah!y inclined
S II F,anciscans indignant, AID the
city ami county authorities are now
r. snlred that these lazy bummers
hall work whether they will or 10.
So the "tums" are to he PUT in chain
cHnas and compelled to work CT
staive.

A. b. Anderson has leased the
boring machine of the Artesian
Water company and will at once be-
gin boring on his place up the river.
A. B. is doing this entirely on his
own hook and at his own expense,
but at the same time he offers good
inducements to all interested parties
to aid him. His proposition Is this
To every man who puts up any sum,
from one dollar to hundred, towards
defraying the expenses of the expert
ment, he will pay back two dollars
for one, in the event of securing
water to the amount of fifty inches
or more. He will then in turn assist
others in putting down wells. This
is liberal proposition and all inter
ested in seeing artesian water secured
in this section, should take him up
and assist the enterprise financially.
If it is made success it will eventu-
ally return dollars for cents to the
commerce and wealth Of this vicinity.
There are many little valleys among
our hills in which water cannot be OBJ
tanned, and in which, if artesian water
can be secured, there would spring ur
many little fruit orchards which in
the aggregate would yield hundreds
of dollars every year and largely ado
to the vast commerce which this por
ton of Idaho is soon to experience.

ERRORS REGARDING CURRENT
HISTORY.

1t IL somewhat surprising that q
paper as ably conducted and generally
rs reliable ms the Courier journal should
make broad mistakes regarding matters
OF national history OF recent origin,
but II did 30 the other day. The i'm.
parchment Of President johnson was
undoubtedly one OF the most important
and consequential proceedings Of a
political character through which the
country ever passed, and 1t being OF a
comparatively recent date one would
think that very few, and least OF all
those who arc always in a position to
know, would utter or publish decided
departures from the facts In connec.
ton with It, yet our very capable
Louisville contemporary did 1t on the
occasion referred to.
A correspondent asked for informa.
ton MS to the articles OF impeachment
and the Republican senators who
voted with the Democrats and
thus saved him from conviction
and mogal from Office. In reply the
paper said that there were eleven
articles, which was correct; that the
Senate voted on all OF them, failing to
convict ON either, which was not cor
rect. The eleventh article was voted
on, the vote standing IS guilty to 10
moi guilty, not two-thirds in favor aud
therefore no conviction. The other
articles were not voted on, the case
being subsequently abandoned. The
CoWier-JourHal says six Republican.
voted with the Democrat, and correct.
ly names i've Of those who thus voted;
but there were seven OF them instead Of
six, there being at the time but twelve |
Democrats In the Senate. The "Prac.
lical Politician" states the case correct.
ly rs follows;
II should be observed that this is not |
the first time tho minority has had assist.

measures were before them, tho most
notable instance being the Impeachment |
Of President johnson, Tho Republicans, |

SENSIBLE WORDS.

In an article on tho future OF Hawaii,
srecent Issue Of the London E,nanoi1I
Ne'ossays that "if the Interest OF ,ho
British bondholder alone were con.
suited II seems certain that American
annexation would be- tho very beat
'hihg that could happen for him, - and
ADDS: NOW that the queen has been
ueposed protectorate would not NEE,
the eSigencies OF the case. We believe
mat II would be very much better for
hawaii to bo annexed Gu. and out
thhn for the Islands TO be ruled by n
local government, nominally indie.
pendent, but really taking Its instruc.
TONS direct from Washington. Great
bfitain might very properly assent to
annexation ON condition that British
rights were protected and that our
commercial relations with Hawaii
were not In any WY prejuiicod.D
me Aoios thinks that the English
people have no great voice In the
matter at all, considering that OF per

All ofwhich reads rofreshingly, after
