What we want is dollar easy to
get and hard to let go; dollar that
will pay four dollars worth of debts
and then come back by means of a
string attachment; dollar that snug
giles easily in the sock of John Smith,
but withers like the mamma of old in
the safe of railroad president; a
dollar that will buy some -four and
meat while it buys much whiskey and
tobacco: a dollar above drawing in
terest and yet will double itself while
the owner sits in the shade and splits at
a crack in the pavement; dollar that
will circulate without depreciation,
will buy shoes for baby while it buys
fun for man in places where he can t
take his wife; dollar that will surely
repair the waste of sloth, appetite and
bad judgement; a dollar that comes
to the lap of Incidence like worms to
the craw Of featherless robin; dol
lar that will remove the sentence pro-
nounced upon Adam, reverse the
order of nature and transform the
nature of men This, little children,
Is about the kind of dollar wanted,
as we CLEAN from perusion our able
and esteemed contemporaries, and TO
provide such dollar is the Job before
congress.

The Statesman says Gov. Mcdonnell
the other day visited number OF
fruit farms in Boise and Payette val
leys. He found vast amount of good
land uncutivated, although under
bitches. He thinks the charge per acre
for water right ought to be done
away with. Poor men connot afford
to buy land and then mortgage it for
a water right, taking chances on losing
everything If this charge was re-
moved, people would flock in to cul-
tivate this land. This would also be
to the interest of the canal companies,
as it would make them business. The
Governor says that if railroad should
charge shipper lump sum in adj
vance for the privilege of using the
line, the charge would be comparable
to this water right assessment.

Upon what small things does fate
turn When Mr.. Van Allen, who has
since been nominated Ambassador
to Italy, was introduced to President
Cleveland he, upon the advice Of one
of the shrewd Astors, put his monocle
in his pocket, instead of his eye. Had
he worn that monocle he might have
escaped office. 1t is charged by the

Governor Mcconnell is being urged
time of paying taxes and to stay ex-
ecutions 1t looks criminal to sacri-
flee property that is unable TO pay
taxes on account of oppressive finan-
cial legislation; but the calling of
the legislature would cost $25, 600
Which of the two evils is the greatest
is hard to decide; and also, the knowl-
edge that the Legislature was to be
called for that purpose might cause
an immediate foreclosure of all mort
cages and suing on book accounts,
before that body could act, which
would work widespread injury. 1t is
q delicate matter.

1T MEANS MICH.

The securing of the first prize at
the Worlds Fair by sugar from the
Lehi sugar refinery, in Utah, ought
to be one Of the best things that ever
happened to the inter mountain west.
1t ought TO give q wonderful impetus
and development to sugar beet raising
and the beet sugar industry in this
part of the world. South Idaho is
peculiarly adapted to the production
of these beets, and to all practical pur-
poses in the way of experiment, the
success of the Lehi works means just
as much to us as If they had been locat-
ed in the Snake river valley, as there
is no distinction as to adaptability,
and those works are on the same beet
growing belt that we have in south
Idaho. When the products of this
belt can step forth in competition
with the whole world and sweep OIL
the first prize, it points to an indus
trial avenue through which we may
reach world wide fame and reap rich
rewards from all quarters of the globe.
This ought to be the birth of II new
and magnificent industry in Idaho.

Good roads cannot be made with
out putting three things into them
good material, brains and money.
Without good stuff TO work with,
brains and money are helpless; with
good material and no brains, the
money spent is worse than wasted,
and you may have the material and
the brains and no money to work
with, and you can do nothing.
