Farmers, Take warningI

Farmers, Take Warning!
 An Essex letter of March 2 says: Mark Miller, a we'll known farmer living at Winthrop, five miles from here. was buncoed out of $500 yesterday in very slick manner. Miller has been trying to sell his farm for several years and while driving into Essex yesterday was met by man driving in the opposite direction who stopped and asked Miller If he wasn't the Mark Miller who had a farm for sale. Miller replied in the affirmative and after some conversation the stranger agreed to buy the farm for s5. 300 and paid Miller $50 to bind the bargain. The stranger then left him, agreeing to call the next day and sign the papers. A little further on Miller was met by another man who offered to buy the farm for S6, 200. Miller said he would try to get the first sale called of and hunted up stranger No. l who fn- ally agreed to annul the first bargain provided Miller paid him $500 and the $50 the man had already paid him. This Miller did and bastened to meet stranger No 9 He was unable to find him and the police have been looking for both bunco men without success. - Connecticut Farmer.

The South's False Pretences.

The AOuLn'S raise fTeteuCeSs The humbuggery of the South in fighting the pension list could not be better examplifed than it was by Repre- sentative Hepburn from Iowa the other day when he made this statement that the late Confederate States contributed not one dollar to the payment of pen sions. Of the $l5O. 1000, 900 internal revenue taxes, the South paid less than $9. .0O0, 900; of the SIT, 1000. 900 custom receipts. the South paid but $4, 900, 900 of the miscellaneous receipts less than g., ,0OO, 900. So that the South contrib utes less than Sl5. 5.0OO,0 900 to the reve- nues of the government. How do they get that back2 Nine million returns as sugar bounty; $5.0OO.OOO in pensions and S5. .OOO. 900 as a deficit in postal re- ceipts. They receive back $3,000,0 900 more than they contribute. They con- tribute not cent to Northern pensions. What difference does it make to them what we do with our own money? The first proof of hostility to pensioners by the Administration. he found in the fact that Grover Cleveland was president; second, that Hoke Smith was secretary of the interior. When Hoke Smith went into office 567,0 applications were pending. The applicants were dying at the rate of 17.000 year. h. stead of adiudicating these cases, the department. went back and suspended IF. 900 pensioners. How did this rec ord compare with that of his predeces- sor, who in the previous six months al lowed HOG claims? He denied that there were any great number of frandu- lent pensioners.

THE LAND GRABBER.

Among the serious obstacles to the
progress and prosperity of this section
of Idaho at the present time is the
prevalence OF the land grabber. Thous
ands and thousands of acres of land
are lying idle in Canyon county and
destined to so remain for years on &C
count of his nefariOuS practices.
Lands have been proven up on and are
in process of proof where there never
was serious purpose of complying
with law and only the most shallow
pretenses have been made. JOHN
LEMP, of Boise City, holds in the neigh
bOrhOod of 1900 acres and continues to
make fresh entries for the benefit of
his dOwerless wife. Go where you will,
and patents are issued or are about to
issue on desert and timber culture en-
tries which are frauds upon their face
Sixteen-year old boys are said to make
homestead proof for the benefit of con-
cealed land grabbers and as soon as
title is acquired the land is abandoned
to coyotes and jackrabbits. Desert
proofs are made in cases were it is well
known that the water which served to
make the proof was never within ten
miles of the entry. Ten acres of
ground are broken, few hundred
dried cottonwood slips stuck into the
ground, half bushel of seed scattered
about and 100 acres of land acquired
under law designed to promote tim
Der culture in the arid regions. If
it were only matter of rob-
bling deserving people of opportun-
tiles to make homes for themselves
and families, it might not be so serious,
but it is retarding the growth and
prosperity of the country. 1t is mat
ter that comes right home to every
man who is trying to develop and SUBJ
due these western wildS. We can't
just now recall anything that the
CLEVELAND administration has done
to win the respect and admiration of
the people, therefore suggest that here
is an opportunity which it can not af-
ford to overlook. Here is a chance to
signalize itself by at least one act of
justice and humanity. The Commits
sioner of the General Land Office is
respectfully urged to send out a spec
ial inspector and one who can't wiggle
his fingers beneath his coat tails.

WHAT IT MEANS.

A great many good, honest Republi
cans do not exactly understand the in
tent and purpOrt of the state commit
tees resolution recommending that the
Republican convention nominate
United States Senator. In the first
place, it is trick in machine politics.
1t is designed to take the election of
senators out of the hands of the legally
constituted power and delegate it to
an irresponsible political convention.
Plainly stated, it is an attempt to null
lily the constitution of Idaho and the
constitution of the United States. 1t
dishonors the legislature and discredits
the intelligence of the people. 1t says
to the legislators you are corrupt and
to the people, you are incompetent.
Therefore, it is demanded that the i'm
portant business of electing United
States Senators be turned over bodily
to the politicians. And what for? In
order that the politicians may swap the
peoples offices about among them
selves in order that trickery and brib-
cry may be practiced to any length
without a shadow of legal restraint
in order that the manipulators may ex-
ercise function which none but sworn
and legally constituted officers should
be entrusted with 1t is claimed that
this proposed method brings the cleo
ton of senators nearer the people.
That is absolutely false and misleading.
But behind it all, is it not most remark
able thing that United States Senators
who alone prevent the people from vot-
ing directly for senators, are the men
who advocate this subterfuge. 1t is
too thin, too transparent, and the Re-
publicans of Idaho will repudiate it
with dispatch and emphasis that
will stagger the assumed leaders. Peo-
pie are in no mood to have such con-
coctions rammed down their Threats.

The COLLEGE OF IDAHO.

Caldwell is proud of her schools.
Together with the best public school
in the state, the college of Idaho affords
every facility for finished and CLASH
cal education. This institution though
young ia years is equipped with every
modern essential. Here the young
men and young women of the state
may have their highest aspirations for
learning satisfied and at cost within
the reach of moderate ueans. A
trained and competent corps of profess
crs. devoted to their work, have charge
of the college and are indefatigable in
their labors for its success and the ele-
walton of the students. Caldwell may
well feel proud in the possession of
such an institution. No other town in
the west of the same size has anything
that approaches 1t is asplendid mon
ument to the active and aspiring spirit
of the place. 1t shows whats cOmpar-
atively few people can accomplish when
they are jealous and determined in a
noble work. The state. outside, is not
yet fully apprised of the educational
advantages which Caldwell affords.
People do not realize that their
children may here receive an intellect

any part of the world, People do not

PARTY LOYALTY.

Just now the Republican leaders are
anxiously engaged in explaining to the
rank and file what party loyalty means.
They tell us that in order to be truly
and beautifully loyal to principle it is
absolutely necessary to be subservient
and cringing to the bosses. The bosses
are the prophets they are the inspired
instruments through which truth lead
ing unto salvation must come, and if
you reject them, verify you shall
be damned. For some reason or
other that brand of loyalty isn't cpl
demic at this particular period of the
country's history. People are getting
into habit of thinking on their own
account and absorbing all kinds of
heretical ideas. Even threatened ex-
communication doesn't alarm them and
the bulls of the leaders fall fiat on I'M
responsive ears. This all means that
the people are going to take hand in
politics themselves they are firing of
the regime of the professionals they
are beginning to understand that de-
votion to party has had no other re-
suit than promotion of politicians.
That kind of loyalty which politicians
seek to inculcate and magnify is
mighty scarce in Idaho today and in
its stead is growing up manly indie
pendence which points with unerring
certainty to the decay of machine

IDAHO GEMS.

"The agitation in Europe, and nota-
bly, in England, in favor of the rehabili-

IT HAS been rumOred for some time
that Lemhi county was swinging into
POpulist ranks and little is the wonder.
When a county gets down so low in its
own estimation that it is satisfied to be
represented in any capacity whatsoever
by one-third of FRANK FEM it is not
far from revolt. Presumably there is
not decent Republican left in that
county, and the Salmon City Recorder
was forced to discard the disreputable
wreck in order to preserve the respect
ability of the press.
