ABOUT REGENTS.

A sentiment prevails at Boise that,
in the event of the location of the
State Agricultural College, one board
of regents should be appointed Tor
the university and the college-that
the government OF the two institu-
tions by one board would be saving
of expense to the state.
As The News understands the sit
uation, it is the aim and purpose of
the regents to make the state uniyer-
sity second to no institution of learn
ing west of the Rocky mountains.
This can only be done BY giving it
their best thought, care and attention.
Agricultural Colleges, properly
managed, are always popular and most
numerously patronized, and should
olrs be worked up to The standard, it
will require the undivided attention
of full board of regents.
If saving of expense be the gov
erning consideration, let the legisla-
ture provide for reduction of the
university regents from nine to seven
or five and create a new board for
the college 1t will never do to i'm
pose the work of the two institutions
on one board.
Again, one institution will be up
north aud the other down south, and
jealousy might spring up in the
board, the northern members working
for the university and the southern
members for the college. That would
damage both institutions.
Again, it is given out from Boise
that if the college be not located, the
governor will appoint the university
regents principally from North Idaho
to save expense.
We do not believe this of the
governor He will not convert a great
institution like the university into
local school under local management.
The state must be poor indeed if it
cannot pay regents travelling ex-
penses and his daily board, for that's |
all he gets, to one or two meetings
year.
As stated above, if the boards
actual expenses make too heavy
draft on the university funds, reduce
its number, but keep those retained |
generously distributed over the state.
The university is a state institution
and should anything appear on the
surface to arouse suspicion Of T
localization it would endanger it in
securing proper legislative appropri-
alton, and would do it more harm
than double the expense taken from
its funds.
Should the college be located it
must have its own regents. No board
would serve the two without some
and one salaried board
would be more expensive than two
boards without salaries.
1t would be bad Judgment, poor
economy and a miserable law to give
charge of the two institutions to one
BOARD of regents.
The NEWS believes that such
provision would remove success out
If the question, and we should have
'wo sicklJ, bloodess, lifeless institu-
ions on our hands whose buildings
would be as monuments to the folly
# such course.

AGAIN has the yillianous letter
writers begun their nefarious work.
We had thought after the severe scor-
ing the TRANSCRIPT gave them dur
ing the winter that this abominable
practice had been broken up. But it
seems not. There has been " lie
attempt to cast blight over the fair
name of one of Middletown's young
women. This devilish work is so vile
in its. conception and SO hurtful in its
effect that the person guilty ought to
be forever ostraciZed from decent
society. They are not fit to associate
with the lowest of the race. For what
can be worse than an attempt by in
nuendo or throwing out hint of sus.
picion TO thereby injure the fair name
OF one whose whole life has been above
reproach and against whom there has
never been the breath of suspicion.
To gain this high position has been Il Q
work of lifetime and then TO have it
darkened by the blight Of innuendo ly
a villianous wretch whose thoughts
never rise above the filth about them
selves is a thing not to be tolerated by
q civilized people. No means should
be spared 10 ferret out the loathson e
wretch who is guilty of this viliany
and coat of tar and feathers would
be most fitting and becoming summer
suit for these vultures who feast on
their fellow man and gloat over their
downfall.

The acquittal of Lizzie Borden was
not unexpected. The verdict of that
greater jury-public sentiment, which
sets upon every case, whether in court
or out of it, is in perfect accord with
that of the twelve sturdy men of New
England. The case is one of the most
remarkable on record, and h at
tracted universal interest and sym.
pathy. The prosecution had not sufi-
eient evidence to hang an Indian dog,
and the marvel is that this innocent
woman was ever held for trial on such
fiimsy evidence. No light has been
thrown on the case, and the question
as to who committed the crime remains
mystery. While the police have been
seeking in vain for discriminating evil
deace against her, the real murderer of
old Mr.. and Mrs. Borden has had
ample time TO find place of safety
beyond the reach of justice. Miss
Borden is found innocent of the crime
with which she was charged, but she

The verdict of the coroner's jury on
the Ford Theatre disaster in Washing
ton lays the blame upon four men.
The chief of the records and pensions
division of the War Department, the
engineer, the contractor and supern-
tendent are aY91eclared guilty of GRIM
inal negligence and are responsible for
the loss of life incurred by the disaster.
Individual responsibility in public SER
vice cannot be too strongly empha-
sized, especially where human life is
emperiled. The question, sharply
defined, makes man indeed his brother IS
keeper, and if all could recollect this
fact, the reckless disregard for the wei
fare of others, which characterizes
many in both high and low positions
might be largely prevented.

HARVEST TIME! The sound of the
reaper is heard in the land. Far and
near the waving fields of ripened grain
tell the story Of plentiful harvest.
The country in June was never more
beautiful. The gentle motion of wav-
ing grain, the music of thrushes and
the fragrance Of the wild wood are all
mingled with the reaper's song, as the
"self-binder" traverses the length and
breadth of the land. There are many
contrasts between the hal vesting of to-
day and than of quarter of a century
ago, for modern invention has done
much for both the methods and i'm
plements Of agriculture, and the reap
ing machines of to-day are as far in
advance of the old Hersey reaper as it
was in advance of the scythe and
cradle of olden times.

STILL the financial depre sion con-

wheat reached the lowest price last
week, and that under Democratic ad-
ministration. Think of i'll Weeat %
cents. Our Democratic friends lay the
cause of all the trouble at the feet of
the Mckinley Bill. All last year we
heard nothing but the infamy ard op-
preston of the tariff, and to hear
their orators and read their papers one
would suppose no greater evil ever be-
fell this country than its passage by
Congress;-it was the elimination OF
legislative crimes. And here We have
been living under absolute Democratic
rule for over three months, and com
mon sense would have taught us that
if the tariff was such a fearful evil IL
should have been Immediately repealed
A special session should have, been
called to have it iped from our statu Q
books. But instead we have witnessed
the greatest eagerness to ill the offices,
to turn out efficient and capable Off
cials and to 6ll their places with hun
CRY office seekers. The financial ques-
tion has loomed up 10 the entire ex-
clusion of the tariff and all other sub
jects. Why is this? One answer is ur.
doubtedly that the Democrats have the
biggest contract ever yet assumed by
them and they do not feel competent
to solve the problem themselves, and
so we must live and wait, but all the
time be oppressed by that burden Of
commercial tyrdnng-tyranny under
which, strange to say have prospered
beyond all other nations.

Although the officials at the State
department still maintain silly air of
mystery about the resignation Of
Minister Paramount Blount, the man
who achieved more notoriety in one
minute, by lowering the American flag
in Hawaii, than he had been able to
get in all his previous life, there is
little doubt that he has resigned and
that his successor has been selt cted.
He never would have been made
minister at all except 10 attempt to
legalize the illegal acts he performed
while acting as ''my personal represent
tative," position unknown to the
constitution Jr laws of the United
States. There are reasons for be-
lieving that his resignation was not
voluntary, but was requested by the
administration for several reasons,
chief of which is its anxiety to crawl
out of the awkward position in which

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, June 81, 1893
If there is any one class of govern
ment employees who ought to be abso-
lutely secure in the positions they hold,
no matter how often or how radical the
change in the administration and heads
of departments, surely the Union vet
Grams should be that class, particularly
the crippled ones. This is not a mat
ter into which politics should enter al
all. Long ago Congress enacted law
stating in the most explicit language
that these men should be given prefer
ence in all branches of the civil SER
vice, but am sorry to say that this
administration has violated that law
right along whenever some position,
outside Of the classified service, which
was held by veteran was wanted for
a Democrat, and not satisfied with that
Assistant Secretary Simms, took ad-
vantage of the lack of appropriations
by the last Congress, which made the
dismissal of sixty-eight clerks from tho
General Land Office necessary, to dis
miss a number Of crippled veterans
among them. 1t was needless act of
cruelty, and it doubtless seemed all the
harder to the Union veteran who had
left leg or an arm on some battle fielL
to know that he has been discharged
from the service of the United States,
for which he fought. by an ex-confed-
crate, who at The same time was fight
ing against it.
Two of these crippled veterans. With
only two legs between them, who were
dismissed called upon Assistant Secre-
tary Simms, who himself lost leg op
the confederate side, and who was once
Governor Of Mississippi, to ask for
reinstatement, and il the conversation
which was reported to me as having
taken place between them really did
occur, and / believe it did, the veterans
certainly had insult added to the injury
that had previously been done o them
When they pleaded for reinstatement
because of their crippled condition pi e.
venting them earning livings for their
families outside uf the government
service, MIR. Silnms told them that
there were many crippled ex confed.
crates who had to earn their living
without employment from the govern
ment, and without being helped out by
pensions from the United States.
Your correspondent does not believe
in reviving or keeping alive the pre-
judices of the war, but he does think
that the treatment meted out to these
Union veterans is an everlasting dis
grace to this administration. The son
of confederate officer said of the dis
charges of Union veterans; "These
men gave four of the best years of
their lives 10 the preservation Of this
government, and if had my way it
should be high treason to dismiss one
of them.''
