CURRENCY.

We suspect that good many
people who had the courtesy to
read the financial article in THE
TRIBUNE last Saturday, smiled
audibly at the presumption of a
country paper in pretending to
understand in the remotest de-
gree the intricacies of t'fee-
nance. AS matter of fact,
we felt a little that way, too.
But now comes William P. St.
John, president of the Mercantile
National Bank, and member of
the Chamber of Commerce of
New York City and proposes a
currency plan which contains ex-
actly our idea; that is, instead of
being paid for it, bankers ought
to pay something for the privilege
of issuing bank note currency.
Mr.. St. John says that the prop

THE Weiser Signal man wields
a mordant pen and recently he
excoriated The TRIBUNE in a
pitiless manner, making us feel
so small and mean that we hate
to sleep with ourself any more.
We don't understand how it
happens that men who are en-
dowed with scortching genius
are always so utterly heartless.
But we want to ask the Signal a
few polite questions with an in
ward prayer that, in answering,
it will not tear agape the bleeding
wounds afresh and hang our cpl
dermis over the garden wall.
What salary does Judge Hepburn
receive from the Northern Pacific
Railroad? Does it exceed $1,000
per annum and mileage? How
much does the Northern Pacific
owe government? Of course
none but very ignorant person
would ask such a question, but
we would just like to know how
much the Northern Pacific would
be likely to pay an attorney for
having its debt to government
satisfactorily adjusted. There
fore, we appeal to the Signal to
inform us specifically as to the
amount of bonds issued by the
United States to the Northern
Pacific, the amount now out
standing together with accrued
interest pail by the United States.
One more question, what is the
difference in principle between
stealing a sheep and stealing a
lamb? Now, don't get saucy
and fling sharp things at a meek
and lowly searcher for knowl-
edge, because, outside of the
roasting you gave us, your argu-
ment is painfully thin unless
you can support it by correct and
favoring answers to the forego-
ing questions.

ON HIS EAR.

An esteemed exchange in La
tab county has worked itself into
a holy passion because THE
TRIBUNE dared to make a few
commonplace and commonsense
suggestions for the benefit of
Congressman elect Wilson. 1t
never occurred to us before that
public servants were enveloped in
halo of unapproachable sanctity
and the administration of little
friendly advice amounted to BIAS
phemy. Our excellent contem-
porary does not attempt to show
that there was anything improper
in the substance of THE TRIB-
UNE's counsel, but is simply hor-
rified at our presumptiousness.
Different people have different
gods The Greeks viewed the
consultations with mystic venera-
ton while the fetish of some
modern tribes is a common billy
goat. This is not intended, to
reflect on Mr.. Wilson because
THE TRIBUNE has a wholesome
respect for him, out merely to
show the range of human venera-
ton. Our estimable contempor-
airy may lift its pious gaze above
the billy goat but stands transfxed
with religious awe at sight of a
congressman. The same valua-
bic contemporary is much per-
turbed in it's devotional exercises
because THE TRIBUNE tells few
plain facts about Willis Sweet.
Not one of our statements is con-
tradicted or even questioned, but
Willis is held forth as the evangel
of Idaho whose name must not be
mentioned except in worshipful
alteration. That may be all
right and is probably the best
way to look at it, but some of us
are naturally impious about such
things and to save our soul we
can't see anything sacred about
Willis. He no doubt has per-
formed miracles for Idaho but he
has studiously concealed them.
His admirers are lavish in glitter
ing generalities, but they are pen
urious of detail. ''Who,
pompously exclaims our contem-
porary, sin the halls of the
United States Congress has been
more faithful and done more than
Willis Sweet We are little
forgetful of proper names, but
just now we can't think of a sin
gle one who has done less. If
our admirable contemporary will
please specify one thing that Will
lis has done, we will try to dis
cover a member of congress who
did as much.

CALDwELL'S IMPORTANCE.

By railway officials and all wei
informed persons, Caldwell i:
now considered the most import
ant station on the Oregon Short
Line between Granger and Hun
tington. More goods are ship
ped into Caldwell than any other
station on the line and officers say
that if there was another such
point on the road, the Oregon
Short Line had never gone into
the hands of receivers. Now all
this being true, what is the mat
ter with trying to get terminal
rates. Caldwell is the natural
distributing point for the whole
of Boise and Payette Valleys; for
the De Lamar and Silver City
mining regions; for the Jordan
Valley and Sucker Creek coun-
try; for Upper Payette, Long
Valley and the Basin; for the
Mountain Home agricultural dis
tricts and the Rocky Bar mining
districts, why then is not Cald-
we'll entitled to terminal rates?
We believe that on proper repre-
sentation being made to railway
officials, something could be
done. There isn't terminal
point in the state and there ought
to be one and Caldwell is by ma
ture, enterprise and business i'm
portance entitled to it.
The TRIBUNE notes with
pleasure a great improvement in
the general make up and matter
of the Fremont County Ne7vs
since Mr.. L. E. Martin has
taken charge. Mr.. Martin
seems to be a newspaper man of
experience and ability and he
ought to be generously supported.
Under the former management
things were quite different. 1t is
proper to congratulate the people
of St. Anthony. The only criti-
cism is that the paper purports to
be the ssofficial Democratic organ
of Fremont County, The
Democrats haven't any office in
Fremont county and they don't
know how to play on an organ
anyway.
PROBABLY the financial editor
of this journal is not onto his job
but blamed if we can see any diff
ference between the Cleveland
Carlisle monetary scheme and
that advocated by the Populists,
except that the Populist idea is.
by far the more rational. 1t
looks to us like bankers scheme
to put up SIS and rake down
SIS. If the additional $50 isn't
fiat, pure and simple, it's nightly
like unto it. Why can't gov
eminent issue bonds to 80 per
cent of its Indebtedness, put the
money thus acquired into a.safety
fund and then issue greenbacks
enough to wipe out the national
debt. If banks can maintain cir
Culating notes to three times the
amount of the safety fund, so can
government and if government
can pay off all its present debt by

less, it ought to do it.
The Genesee Nezvs thinks we
have made a mess of it in attempt
ing to support Mr.. Shoup for re-
election. The Ncws bases it's
conclusion on the fact that we
said Shoup is not a good poll
tician. Well, we are not re-
sponsible for Senator Shoup's
imperfections neither shall we at
tempt to palliate them. In the
ordinary acceptation of the
phrase, he is not good politician
and everybody knows it. We

Baptistine Petit, comely little French
girl, appeared in Justice Bartholomew's
court yesterday as the prosecuting wit
nees in charge OF seduction, which
Baptistine brought against her country
mai, Jean Lhez.
She declared yesterday that, after q
seven months acquaintanceship with
Jean, he asked her one evening to go to
a ball with him, which took place in
this city.
=. After the ball WAS over he made inn
proper advances to her, which for some
time she refused to listen to. Eventu-
ally he promised faithfully to marry her
if she consented, and they returned TO-
gether to her home.
There, partly by means of threats and
partly by promises of marriage,- Jean
persuaded her to accede to his desires.
According to Jean, however, things
are not what Baptistine would have
them seem.
Baptistino aays her character and rep
utation are unsullied; !; Jean substan-
TALLY replies with an eloquent story OF
guilelessness Baptistine says Jean is
the only man. who ever won her young
affections; Jean declares that there are
many more; Baptistine declares she is
about to become mother, and says
Jean is responsible for this sad state OF
affairs; this last allegation is still more

Resistance TO Law and Lawful Au.
thOrity.

The News and Courier exhausts II
knowledge of the English language in assai
ing the Governor, and makes the stranges
appeal psssible to enlist public sympathy i
behalf OF that city in its disorderly conduc
1t also seeks TO array the people against tn
Governor because he docs not use the mett
ods against the obstreperous city which woul
meet the approval of the aesthetic taste {
that paper.
AS matter Of fact it appears to US the
there is bad state OF affairs In that city
For that bad condition 1t seems that 1t
sought to lay all the blame on the Gov
ernor.
Come down to solid facts. II the city g
Charleston had obeyed the law, there woul'
have been no more trouble in that place thai
there is In Abbeville or other law-aoidln
communities.
So the fault first rests on the people @
Charleston.
In the second place, it may be that Tillmal
has spoken with more emphasis than Ches
terf1eldian politeness.
People who resist the law and defy tn
Government need not expect diplomats o
ambassadors from the high officials who's
position and authority they do not recogniz
and respect. Spies or constabfes are gener
ally sent to such people, and 1t may be II
some instances their calture and refinemen

manners and behaviour OF the "four hun

Well, now, contemporary you are only in
censing the people Of the country agains
your city by any such talk.
The tenor OF your editorials is to set public
opinion against the lawlessness which yot
seem 30 anxious to defend. Tillman Is btint
strengthened by your unjust attacks on him
and your encouragement of resistance to law
or your defence OF such persons as feel dis
posed to disobey the law. and then insult IL
officers. is having very different effect from
that which you desire to bring about.
The News and Courier will have to &C
knowledge the supremacy of law in Soutt
Carolina, and that paper will yet see th
liquor dealers OF Charleston forced TO obey
the law which they so heartily despise.
Charleston is part OF this State, and ou
laws are intended to govern every part OF tht
Commonwealth. 1t is therefore needless fo
the liquor dealers Of Charleston TO set them
selves up as superior to and above the laws o
the State.
II South Carolina was ever a unit on er
forcing any law, we think she is determined
to make Charleston obey the dispensary law
just as other towns and cities are obeying 1t
II she wants spies. constables, MALTA anc

she ought to have them, and will get them
Charleston can't defy the law, and that city

1t seems that the newspapers and kicking

lamentable condition of affairs on the
coast.
While Of course the Law. abiding people o
Charleston take no stock In resistance to law
yet in every city there can be found number
OF men ready for almost anything.

note that the blind tigers are still holding the
fort and are doing a thriving. business

Let Tillman read this and double his de
termination to shut up every Illicit liquor
shop In the city of Charleston. Nearly every
good man In the State will sustain him in en-
forcing the law, regardless of political preju
dices for or against him.
