BOISE (Idaho). Jan. I0.-The silver
question and Ceur d'Alene riots Of last
summer were both before the House to-
day. a joint memorial to Congress, pray
ing for the free coinage of silver, was un-
der consideration when Mills OF Bingham
introduced an amendment limiting the
request to free coinage of American
product. This precipitated lively dis
cussion. after which the amendment was
defeated by vote of "A to II.
a resolution was introduced providing
for the appointment of three Representa-
tives and two Senators to investigate the

II the Harbor Comm ssiOners had been at
great pains 10 keep the Davie Company as
far as possible away from the foot OF MAI
ket street, where passenger trafflc now
centers. As the principal TRANSPORTATION
company the Southern PACING mas almost
monopoly of the accommodation for pas
sengers, and clings to all the space IL mas,
utterly oblivious of what others want.
Had the Davie Company got one OF the
slips at the foot of Market street it would
have enjoyed an immense advantage In
winter compared with its present dismal
and unsuitable location. The city. how
ever. has no control over It's own water
front. That is in the hand OF the State.
ana the State Is pretty much as the elec-
tors make it, assisted by the Southern
Pacific.
Assuming that the London Times CORE
spondent at Rome is well Informed, he
explicitly avows that there is no treaty be-
tween England and Italy as to the Mediter-
ranean. Italy, he says. would gladly enter

that as might be expected 1t Is the
policy of England to hold aloof from
definite European engagements. Were she
to join hands with Italy, France would be
offended, and there is quite enough OF Ill
feeling in that quarter already 1t would
be more natural for Italy to try reconcilla-
ton with France, but that she cannot do

A New York contemporary unkindly
represents Senator Jones of Nevada as de-
sorting the Pacific Coast for investments.
He has bought up gold mine in North
Carolina. and has other likely places in
view. There are no doubt just as tempting
properties by the score in California. But
Senator Jones may be trusted to compre-
bend his own interests BEST and IL would
be absurd to conclude that he has any
spite against part of America which has
given him fame and fortune.
Tie Olympia has got clear to sea and is
undergoing her trials. in the results of
which the contractors have a very direct
interest. She is likely to prove useful
cruiser, and if the navy had few more of
similar power the United States could dis
charge its responsibilities at this moment
all the easier. We are likely to have need
of show OF strength down in Brazil be-
fore long. The Hawaiian difficulty is by
no means over, and Honduras may need a
visit from good ship.
The City of New I ork Is unfortunately
still grinding on the rocks near Point
Bonita. There has been almost an ideal
opportunity to drag her off and keep her
aflOat, but nearly fortnight has passed in
futile efforts, and it Is against all probable
ity that the weather can be quiescent
much longer. The first good blow and
heavy sea will break the steamer up. 1t is
unfortunate, for with frst-class appli-
ances and skill she might be saved.

cLEvELAND's HAWAIIAN POLICY

There is some reason to suppose that
Mr.. Cleveland has at last discovered an
Hawaiian policy. 1t has been known
all along that he did not like the Harrison
policy, but there was less evidence as to
what he did like. The story now comes
from Washing ton that the ex-Queen is to
be restored to the throne. This cannot
mean more than that the President will
remove obstacles in the way of restora-
ton. He will not undertake the job of re-
storing her by force of arms. He cannot
even dislOdge the Provisional Govern
ment. He may, by the withdrawal of
moral support, render the Provisional
Government incapable of maintaining
itself, in which case Johnny Bull would
disguise himself as commercial drummer
and put either the ex-Queen Liliuokalani
or the young Princess Kaulani on the
throne. The President takes the novel
ground that the eX-Queen has been de-
prived of something that belongs to her.
and that as American residents of the
islands, assisted somewhat blythe Ameri-
can Minister and the commander of an
American warship, helped to despoil her.
it becomes his duty 10 place the Queen
where she was when the American resi-
dents interfered. 1t does not matter
whether the deposed authority, in this
case a Queen, was republican or mon
archial; the work of restoration must be
done. The Washington rumor will doubt
less assume many shapes before the Presi-
dent defines his Hawaiian policy. 1t is
not expected that he will condescend to
conform to public opinion, but he may
conclude to let things drift while longer.

Gail Hamilton is having printed In
Salem. Mass. a pamphlet history of the
case of Mrs. Maybrick of England. who is
in prison under life sentence for poison

trhe widowed Crown Princess of Austria

PUBLIC OPINION.

An Eastern paper, which was not pleased
by Mr.. Cleveland's autocratic ways. thus
expressed itself before election:
What does Mr.. Cleveland care for public
opinion ? Not hoot-r. The people didn't
like his Van Allen appointment. and so he turns
around and rams an Aliens brotber-in-law
down their Threats. And the least said about
1t the better. Ii there Is any objection from
any quarter Mr.. Cleveland may hunt up some
other of The Van Aliens or their relatives the
Roosevelt de RO osevelts and decorate them in
return for campaign contributions.
It is quite possible that Mr.. Cleveland
did not care "hooter" for public opinion
so long as he thought the current in his
favor. But no man repents so bitterly as
one who begins to repent late. If the Van
Allen incident were not past recall it W uld
be recalled. If the Senate had not con-
doned the offense by confirming the ap-
pointment Van Aliens chance of being
ambassador at the Italian court would not
be worth considering. To Mr.. Cleveland
public opinion is very important m after.
An adverse public opinion means Con-
gress in opposition during the last half of
his term. It means a political shelf not
only for the man himself but for his men,
ory. A President who comes in on a tidal
wave and loses his hold on the public mind
in the first year of his administration goes
down to history as pretty bad failure.
Now if Mr.. Cleveland has any eae pre-
dominating quality it is that of self-esteem.
He considers himself good man. Since
his election last year nothing has happened
to undeceive him. He has been surrounded

NO SLIPS FOR THE DAVE COM
PANY.

The Harbor Commissioners doubtless
read the letter of the Davie Company to
Governor Markham with feelings akin to
chagrin. There would have been no great
harm in an assertion by the Davie Com
pany that the Rarbor Commissioners had
represented that the Davie Company was
satisfied with the accommodations Afforded
them if the company had not Shown that
the Harbor Commissioners had known all
the time that the company was not salts
fed. In the letter the company reclte
the story of their efforts to get better
accommodations and tell how persistently
the commission decided against them.
The strong point made by the company In
their letter is the evident and inevitable
conclusion that the Harbor Commission IS
opposed not so much to the Dlvie Com
pany in particular as to ferry opposition In
general. AS the Davie Company say. the
action compl aimed of strikes at the very
root of the commercial pros Derity of the
city. 1t will not do TO let an idea 20 out
that one transportation company owns or
holds all the landing facilities the city
affords. Too much business has already
been driven away by the efforts OF the
Southern Pacific Company to retain control
of the transportation business of the State.
The Harbor Commissioners are supposed
to be acting in the interest OF the people.
They obtained their present position
through the executive of the State. 1t
seems therefore to be the duty Of the
executive to see that the board does not
simply execute orders received from the
Fourth and Townsend street Office.

TARIFF REFORM.

If the Tuesday elections convey any
meaning at all it is that tariff reform must
proceed, if at all. on protectionist lines.
Changes may be made in the details Of the
tariff, but the principle of protection TO
American labor must be preserved and
strengthened. The States in which the
tariff was the most distinctly the issue
have pronounced against the declaration
of the Democratic national conven ton
that protection to American industries is
unconstitutional. That theory was SEEM
ingIy accepted in November. 1892 and
promptly rejected in November. 1898. 1t
is a doctrine that can have no long exist
ence in this country until the condition of
the wage-workers of the United States has
fallen to a level with the condition of the
same class in other competing countries.
Democrats as well as Republicans hope
that that dav is far off.

A !MUGWUMP VIEW.

The New York Times says that the re-
suit of Tuesdays elections was not Re-
publican victory. The party, the Times
says. entered upon the campaign without
hone and did little to bring about the re-
suit. The Times is more penitent than the
occasion requires. If the Republicans did
little to bring about the result the con-
clusion cannot be avoided that the Demo-
Gratis did good deal In other words, the
Democrats beat themselves. The Repub-
licans had only to lie low and let their
opponents do the work. Eight months of
Democratic ascendency convinced the in
dependent voters, who determine the re-
suit of all elections in the Northern States,
that the industries and business of the
country are more intelligently cared for
by Republicans than BY Democrats.

THE INEVITABLE HAPPENED.

The New York sam describes the Re-
publican victory of Tuesday as the "inevi-
table back-kick of reactions" But this
Inevitable event was not considered posi-
BILE until it happened. The files of the
San do not foreshadow an apprehension
of defeat But now defeat has come it is
attributed to forces which every one knew
were in action. So wise and far-seeing a
journal as the Sun ought to perceive the
inevitable before it is under the inevi-
tables feet. The Suns comments show
joyful spirit. 1t is something more than
philosopher; it welcomes disaster with a
smile that is not forced. 1t has long been
apparent that the Sun would not object to
a little dust so long as it was stirred into
action by the overthrow of Grover Cleve-

THE RISE IN SILVER.

The European price of silver is creeping
up. The rise is attrl buted in part TO re-
puted purpose on the part of Russia to put
a few hundred millions of silver at the
back of her paper currency and in part to
a belief that the United States will adopt
a financial policy which will in some way
com bine the use of silver with gold as the
basis of our currency. 1t is quite probable
that the silver market is in a condition to
respond to an increased demand for sill
YER. Indications are that there is no large
stock of either in Europe or America
in the market at present prices. If Rus
STA follows out her reported plan of push
ing her commerce in Asiatic silver coun-
tries she may with silver currency give
her gold competitors a good deal Of
trouble.

No denunciation is too strong for the
miscreants who are responsible for the
dynamite b-throwing iu Barcelona. 1t
was an act of diabolism unadulterated.
The fends who thus sent to destruction
twenty per sons and wounded many others
are supposed to have some political or so
cialist principle to advance by these cow
ardly murders. They are anarchists of the
type that abounds in Barcelona, which has
long been revolutionary hotbed. 1t is
almost useless to inquire what these bomi-
cidal maniacs want. They appear to be
destitute of both pity and sense. and soci-
ETY., unless it is to be shaken into chaos,
shou Id have no pity upon them. The VIC
tins were all quiet persons enjoying an
evening at the theater. Should there be a
reign of terror set up about theatergolng
the effects will be felt in greater misery
than prevails by adding to the numbers of
unemployed. The human beast species is
evidently on the increase, and how TO deal
with it is as hard a puzzle as Governments
ever had.
The employment of those who are in
search of work in sweeping the streets is
a happy partial solution of problem be-
coming serious. The idle must be fed,
whether their idieness is enforced or vol
untary, and by affording those who are not
drones constitutionally an opportunity to
show their real character the vicious will
to some extent be marked out as class
by themselves. A proper check Will have

EMPLOYMENT for men who have no engage
ments from private employers as to invent
some auasi-useless jobs from which there
is no adequate benefit commensurate with
the expenditure.

No Intention of Retiring.

printed some weeks ago of the intention OF
the great hardware house of Huntington
Hopkins to retire from business were IN

owing to the firm having made certain
changes in the manner of conducting the
business. and on the account of the desire
of certain parties to form new company
to purchase and continue the same.
As matter of fact no proposition to
make such sale or transfer has been made
