IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION MADE KNOWN.
Washington. March oi.-It has been discovered
to-day that Of the most important rulings ever
made In the administration OF pension matters has
remained unpIomulgated so FIR rs the public knows,
for more than five months past, and that this DE-
ClsiOn rcverses IA ruling under which fully S!,co0,

appear. on September IS Assistant Secretary
Bnssey made pension decision which established
Il rule TO reimbursement Of expenses FOR
last sickness and BURIAL under section AIS, Re
vised Statutes. Hitherto IL has been uniformly
held that under sections 1902. 1903, 4.7O2 and

FRED GAIRECHT few months ago
invented handle for teapot that
can be fastened on to the pot in an
instant and removed as quickly. 1t
was first hand protector. The
permanent handle of teapot has
caused more profanity in the kitchen
than any other one thing as the hand
grasped the hot handle. 1t was alb
horrence of the great American habit
of using "cuss words" and n religious
desire to lessen the prevalence of that
thoroughly rooted habit of vice
that impelled Fred to make the in
vention. The money the patent
might make for him was no consid-
Grafton at all, or at any rate sec
ondary one. Fred sent model of
his patent to the Scientific American
and was somewhat disagreeablv sur
prsed a couple OF days ago when he
received from that paper cut of a
patent almost identlcally the same as
his. The inventor, or inventories,
is Mary G. Woodward, of Pony,
Montana, who was undoubtedly i'm
PEELED by the same motive as was
Fred in putting her genius to work
in the same direction. She obtained
the patent on the 3lst of last Janua-
ry. Fred, however, is not at all dis
couraged. He has couple of other
inventions mapped up in his mind,
and expects yet to gain fame as an
inventor, and rs natural concomi-
tant, great wealth also.

SELECTIONS OF STATE LAND.

Il. V. Tinker, State Land Selector.
arrived here last Friday from Long
valley where he selected twelve sec.
tons of land-7,68O acres-for State
institutions. This land is on Clear
creek, on the east side of the valley.
1t has not yet been decided to which
institution this land will go, but Mr..
Tinker said it was probable it would
either go to the insane asylum or the
penitentiary. The lands selected are
divided as equally as possible be-
tween the different State institutions.
About $4,000 acres have been Sc.
lected altogether in tho State. None
OF this land can be sold for less than
$40 an acre. Fifty thousand acres
OF timber land, mostly cedar, has been
selected in Shoshone and Kootenai
counties for different institutions of
the State. As this land was being
surveyed timber grabbers from Mich.
igan were on the ground with an ar
my OF pre-emptors, who. as fast as the
land was surveyed, squatted down
and built their camp fires and made
pre-emption filings. The scheme was
to get all this timber for nothing, the
cost being but twenty-five cents for
filing on each pre.emption claim. A
pre-emptor has four years to pay for
the land at the rate of $1.25 an acre.
Before the end of that time the land
would be denuded of timber and of
course the timber slayers would have
no further use for it and would hunt
for new worlds of timber to conauor
and would fail to come up with the
government price of $l.25 an acre.
These same men worked that scheme
successfully in Michigan. But they
were th~arted in this State. The
State has sixty days preference right
and before the end of that time Mr..
Florence, one of the Solicitors, got
the very best of this timber land for
the State and the schemers, like The
Arabs, folded their tents and silently
stole away. The Solicitors have Sc
cured land under the Methodist and
New York irrIgatlag bitches, in Ada
county, and aroused the ire of the
owners of those bitches. Settlers
abandoned their land claims for the
reason that they could not stand the
exorbitanl water taxes. 1t has been
the scheme of the ditch companies to
get hold of all this land, but they will
very probably be ,hwarted. Fifty OF
these cases will soon come up for de-
cision, and it is to be hoped the State
will win.

Tho indications are that a silver
party will be organized that will
sweep the country in 1896. 1t will
probably be organized under the
name of the National party and is to
be union of the forces of the silver
advocates and the PopuIists. The
leading issue of the latter is free
coinage of silver, and it is believed,
from recent utterances, that the Pop
ulists will drop their platforms of
government ownership of railroads
and the bond loans, in which event a
strong party could be organized.
There are thousands of free coinage
advocates who do not endorse these
platforms of the Populists. Silver is
the all-important issue, being para
mount to all others combined, and the
thing to do is to re-monetize it, then
it will be time enough to take up
other issues on which public senti-
ment is growing, but is not yet ripe
notably that of the gov ernment
ownership of railroads. One good
reason, at this particular time, for
dropping that question: is the fact
that railroad companies and their
employees are mostly for free coinage,
and to make a fight against these
companies will injure the cause. Free
coinage of silver is for the benefit of
labor and all enterprise. 1t is only
the non-producing element who gain
by monometalism- the element that
draws interest-bondhold and
mortgage holders and banking insti-
tutions, and their increased gains
through a contraction of the currency
are robbery, pure and simple. These
leeches fatten on the mislortunes of
the masses. The less real money
there is in existence the greater are
their dishonest gains. The platform
of the new party ought to be one on
which all the laboring, producing and
industrial classes can stand. Labor,
and capital invested in industrial en-
terprises, are both injuriously affected
by an insufficient money supply. 1t
is real money, gold and silver, that
the country needs, and needs all that
can possibly be produced. This the
people will have in due course of
time if they will keep on fighting
and not become discouraged. Keep
on hammering the evil and the right
will ultimately prevail.

The Coffin Stanton company has
now paid $4,000 on State wagon
road bonds, $4,000 more will be
paid on Dec. 1st, and the balance
sometime before the FIRST Of next Ju-
ly. The road ought to be completed
by the latter part of next summer.
If the State appropriation proves in
sufficient to complete the road, there
is no doubt that the counties through
which it runs will make good the de-
fciency. In fact two Of the counties
through which the most expensive
portions Of the road will pass hare
already agreed to put in the differ
ence between their portions of the
appropriation and the actual cost of
construction. All the talk about !
waste of money on the ground that
the road cannot be completed for the
amount of the States appropriation
and that gaps will therefore be left
between different sections, is all bosh.
All such talk has been indulged in BY
opponents of the road for the sole
purpose of defeating the law. The
appropriation ought to be quite, or
nearly sufficient to complete the road,
and if not it will be finished with ap-
preparations by the counties through
which the road will run.

THE Young Mems Debating Club
of Boise will wrestle with the ques.
tion-"Resolved that Populist litera-
ture and Populist doctrine are res.
ponsible for the murderous cranks in
the United States" That is a good
subject for debate. The affirmative
could be amended SO as to be exact
ly true, but of course this would max e
the subject one-sided and therefore
not good one for debating club
unless the negative side were so en-
dowed with argumentative ability as
to be able to make black look white
and so mix up cause and effect as to
totally bewilder the judges and stun
the opposition. The temptation to
amend is too great to resist, SO here
it is: Resolved that the gold bug
is responsible for the Populist and his
doctrine, the Populist and his doc
trine is responsible for the murderous
crank who slays the gold bug; there
fore the gold bug is responsible for
his own murder, and is suicide, and
ought not to be allowed to enter the
Kingdom of Heaven,

ANOTHER irrigating ditch is to b,

ANOTHER irrigating ditch is to be
constructed near the town of Pavette.
The farmers will own this ditch. An
eastern company will furnish the
money and take the bonds. This
plan is away ahead OF being at the
mercy of an irrigation corporation.
Paying these bonds with interest will
amount to but little as compared with
the outrageous water taxes exacted
by ditch companies. These taxes
are so high that the companies will
eventually come into possession OF
all the lands covered by the bitches,
together with improvements made by
the settlers, all of which they will get
for almost nothing. The farmers la
hor and the ditch companies reap all
the fruits of their toll. Corporation
ownership of canals and water rights
is fraud of the first magnitude and
an impediment to the progress of the
State.

FORT HALL Indian reservation h

Fort HALL Indian reservation has
been surveyed, and as soon as the
survey is accepted we will have an
Oklahoma and Cherokee strip boom
on small scale. The area is smaller
by considerable than that of the strip
or Oklahoma, but the land is better
in fact as fine as any remaining for
settlement. Mr.. Lo will be given
land in severalty and he will neces-
sarily have to become a tiler of the
soil the same as the Pale Face and
will eventually become a good citi-
zen of steady habits instead of a
wild rover of the plain with no high
er ambition than to fish and hunt and
execute the wild movements of the
weird and fantastic ghost dance. The
Indians of Lemhi Reservation will be
given land on the Fort Hall Reser-
walton and all the land of the former,
$4,000 acres, will be open for white
settlement. Fort Hall Reservation
has over 100000 acres. The In
dians on both reservations number

FATALLY BURNED.

News was received here last Sat-
urday evening, by telephone, that
Mrs. Jago, employed As cook At the
Halfway House, on the Boise road,
had been seriously, and perhaps IA
tally burned by the explosion of .
lamp she had in her hand. Her
clothes became saturated with the
oil and were entirely consumed by
the flames. 1t is thought that gas
formed in the lamp and having no
vent caused the explosion. George
Surneet was the only person in the
house at the time. He endeavored
to smother the flames aud threw two
quilts and two rugs over the unfortu-
nate woman, each of which in turn
was consumed by the flames. DIR.
Perrault, of Boise, was Immediately
telephoned for and came up with all
possibly haste, but was unable to save
the life of the sufferer. She died
yesterday afternoon at twenty min
utes past three. Mrs. Jsgo was a
widow lady, and leaves a son three
or four years Of age. She was from
Ada county, and has been at work at
the Halfway House about two
months. She is highly spoken of by
travellers who have stopped at said
place since she has been employed
there.

bud and blossom in the shadows of
obscurity when the world is fairly
aching and bowling for it to come
out from its hiding place and make
itself seen and felt for good. 1t is
this hiding away Of such talent and
clear, keen, far-seeing vision that
keeps the world from moving for
ward as fast as it should. Another
reason given by this obscure genius
for stopping his paper is that "it is
not as good as the Statesman" and
he takes that paper. This informa.
tion is superauous, as we are we'll
aware Of that fact. The WORLD es-
teens the Boise Statesman as the
very best paper west of the Rockies,
considering the population OF tho
State and the size OF the town in
which it is published. However, this
reminder will be the means of accom-.
plishing much good. The WORLD is
now fully determined to 60 to the
head of the Idaho journalistic class.
The Statesman will have to take
second place. We have determined
to do this SO as to avoid any painful
reminder henceforth that the WORLD
is not the greatest journal in the
State. 1t has been said that in the
field of politics the worst men are the
Get Ellis, and the best men get
left. We believe it, and as a posi-
tive proof of the truth of that state
ment it is only necessary to say that
tho subject of this glittering effusion
"once upon a time" ran, or rather
walked, for a small office for which
no one else would accept a nomina-
ton. He ran, or walked, against
himself and when he surveyed
the vote found that he was defeated
by big round majority.
