CANYON COUNTY.

The Caldwell Townsite Company
have prepared q beautiful map
showing Canyon county and its
boundaries. On the back is printed
a succinct and reliable description
of Canyon county and its resources,
also q description Of Caldwell and
it's prospects. People desiring
trustworthy information respecting
this magnificent country should
procure one of those maps. The
statistical matter and other infor-
nation has been compiled and cor
rected by Mr.. A. e. Gipson, of
Caldwell, gentleman conversant
with the county and we'll qualified
for the work. By addressing him,
copies Of the map can be procured.

HAs JUST CAUSE.

The Boise Democrat smarts q
little because Col. JONES, of the
Blackfoot News, has received q
stipend and tho editor Of the Demo-
crat has received what the boys
shot at. We do not blame the
Democrat for feeling piqusd.
More especially as Messrs. BEANIE
and TILLiNaHAsr have graciously
acknowledged that they recon.
mended the Colonel because he il
the most able and influential
Democratic editor in the state.
That imputation conveys direct
insult to the Democrat; and, we
suspect, its indignation il greater
than it, envy. With respect to
ability, the Colonel 10 not to be
thought Of in comparison with the
Democrat; and to charge influence
on the Blackfoot News is of q
piece with attributing character
TO reprobate. Where the Black
foot News is best known it has
always been regarded as a Demo
Dubois organ. In general way
it has been harmlessly Democratic;
in . particular way, viciously
Republican. If the Colonel ever
did anything to promote the Demo-
cratic cause in Idaho, it was

PRETTY SLEEK.

Secretary Carlisle has invented
a sleek way Of circumventing civil
service notions without distorting
his conscience. Cleveland's active
PARTISAN rule has been made to
work both ways, and the operation
serves two purposes at once, by
bouncing Republican ofTicer.holders
and enthusing the Democratic
household. 1t works like this:
An agent is sent nosing around the
departments and every Republican
employe who is suspected of being
actively partisan is promptly
removed. Subsequently another
cmissary is sent forth and all those
Republicans who escaped on ac-
count Of inactivity are charged
with a lack of patriotic spirit and
oustcd on the ground that any man

attorney general pronounced tie
act good law. And If he did do
that, why should the stats auditor
refuse to accept the decision of the
officer whose business it is to ad-
wise the auditor and interpret the
law? It strikes US that there is =
good deal of nonsense and make
believe about this business, and we
respectfully suggest that the state
would be just as we'll off and the
people just as happy if state officers
would attend strictly to the per-
Torrance Of duty and take less
pains to exploit and brandish them-
selves for the benefit of the gallery.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1893-05-27

as his subserviency to Republican
politicians left no opportunity for
honest effort in the interest of his
partisan compatriots. The Demo-
crat, on the contrary, has always
been an able, jealous and consist
ent advocate Of its political prin-
ciples. It has worked honestly
and faithfully in the interest of the
Democratic party. 1t has done
more for the cause than any other
paper in the state; and Mr.. Boy
AKIN deserves more from his party
than whole battalion of alleged
Colonels.

SUSPECTED MURDERER OI
EXAMINATION.

Last Sunday Deputy Sheriff
Duncan Of Ada county arrested
Albert Rsltgsn suspected Of MUIR
knight, whose body was
found in the Snake river. Beltgen
was taken before Probate Judge
Ryals for preliminary examination
which is still in progress. All the
evidence thus far adduced seems to
be purely circumstantial and very
vague. A Caldwell gentleman
who was summoned as witness,
says that the testimony will not be
sufficient to hold Beltgen for. trial.
There are many rumors and much
gossip afloat, but substantial facts
are altogether lacking. There
seems, however, to be a weak place
in Beltgen's story ana District
Attorney Haysi is now investigat-
ing in that direction. 1t is now
whispered that knight was not al
together a lovabls creature and that
his demise should not be taken as
an unmitigated calamity. The
TRIBUNE knows nothing about this
and gives the rumor for what
it is worth. Public sympathy is
90 apt to run with the dead that
it sometimes becomes q serious
injustice to the living.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1893-05-27

too little in others. The conse-
quenco Of this might be that all the
better lands in one county or
neigborhood would fall into the
hands Of speculators, thus retarding
settlemsnt and injuring perina-
nent prosperity. Under existing
conditionS . very small percentage
Of the 4 lands sold under special
grants will fall into the hands of
actual settlers and cultivators.
The lands do not carry water titles,
and farmers in an irrigating country
can not afford to pay ten dollars
per acre for land which is practi-
cally useless without water. Coun.
ties and communities will do we'll
to watch carefully the selection Of
those lands and prevent, it possible,
an undue proportion Of sales within
their boundaries and vicinities.
There is already too much land
held by spectators in certain
portions of the state, and additional
opportunities for that class Of
holdings should not be given when
avoidable. What the country
needs is settlers-people who will
come here with their wives and
families and till the soil and build
homes; and the public lands, as
much as possible, should be con-
served for their benefit.

PUT THEM ON 4 LEVEL.

A few evenings ago the Caldwell
demi monde enjoyed a regulation
scrap, and the frail creatures were
taken before Judge Galloway to
answer for the insult to the people
of Idaho in Canyon county. The
weight Of the evidence being evenly
divided, his honor was unable to
determine who was aggressor and
preferred that the community
should 60 unrequited rather than in
nocence should suffer. Perhaps,
Judge Galloway would not have
missed the mark if he had fined
the entire outfit, but it is not for us
to criticise the judiciary. Neither
do we think that the weak and
ostracised creatures deseryya-se severe
punishment. Society may be as
much 20 blame as they are.
Sumo day society will view this
subject from q different stand
point; the principle Of law which
makes an accessory equally guilty
with the principal will be applied
to these who contribute to the sup
port of vicious institutions. It will
60 farther back; it will put the seal
Of social condemnation on every
individual who in any way has
been instrumental in the destruct-
ion of virtue or the promotion of
vice. Moral sentiment will be prop
erly directed when it condemns the
cause and pities the effect. Why
should the mothers and daughters
Of the country stand horri6ed at
mention of the miserable
victims Of fathers and sons?
Is the poor, lost woman
any more initiated and dis
graceful than the depraved wretch
who brought about her ruin? Let
the obloquy fall where it belongs.
Put the prostitute and paramour
on the same moral plane, with the
elevation in favor of the former.
Shun the one az the other. Let
virtue in man be as essential to re-
rpectability as it is in woman and
such scenes as that in Judge Cal.
laway's court will seldom or ne, or
be witnessed.

About
Hard
Times !!

It is not about the cause
of hard times that we de-
sire your attention this
morning. You can find as
many causes as there are
people in the world, for
each and everyone has a
theory, which in his or her
estimation, is the only true
solution Of the problem.
The gold man says silver
is the cause; the silver
man says it's gold. Some
say the credit system,
some say the climate,
some say democrats, some
say republicans, some say
populists, some say Wall
street, and even the pro-
hibitionist come in for q
share of the blame. On
one thing, however, we all
agree. That Is that times
are in that unsatisfactory
condition designated as
hard. Admitting this fact
the question naturally
arises: "What are You 90
ing to do about it2" The
prudent man, while he de-
plores the condition of al.
fairs as much as any one
can, wisely adapts himself
to the condition of affairs
anu does the best he can.
To get his trade, the mer-
chant must also come to
q hard times basis, and
that is just what we have
done. We have a large
stock Of summer goods
that we sell at prices eli.
tirely consistent with the
prevailing closeness Of
money. Perhaps you
think this is just talk, but
how do you know until
you have tried us. We
are selling at prices that
are an innovation in Cald
well. We recognize that
the fiend Hard Times is
among us, and have taken
Oft our coat to meet him.

who does not take an active interest
in public affairs is unworthy the
honor Of citizenship and disgrace
to the body polite. That scheme
seems to cover the ground very
thoroughly and civil service reform
can march right along without
disturbing the practical operations
of government. There is nothing
like refinement. How much
pleasanter it is to remove employees
for cause when causes are 80 easily

is legitimate cause for removal, who
will contend that lack of patriotism
is not much more so?

TEXT BOOK COMMISSIONERS.

The text book commissioners
met at Boise city some three
weeks ago, and after thirteen
days Of confinement completed
their labors. The commission con-
sisted of three ladies ED two gen.
tlemen, all, we are told, eminently
qualified for the work in hand.
They selected q complete list Of
taxi books for use in the public
= J6ols, and have contaminated
,6ntracts whereby those books can
be supplied at greatly reduced
cost. It is understood, no doubt,
that those books will be furnished
free to the schools by the state.
THE TRIBUNE is disposed to congrat-
ulate the commission on the sue
cessful termination of its labors,
and believes that every induce
ment was offered publishers to cut
rates and supply cheap books.
Perhaps, too much attention was
given to prices and too little to
quality. We suspect. though, that
when the com missioners completed
the examination of all the books,
they did not seem to know where
they were ct, 20 to speak. There
