COUNTY ADMINISTRATION.

Some of our local county papers are
saying very creditable things OF our
board of commissioners, and the En-
NETT Inder manifests very kindly
disposition towards Chairman GwINN.
1t seems that Mr.. GwINN has been very
active in attending to necessary repairs
on the Payette bridge, which was
partly destroyed by high water, and in
general way, has looked after the
public interests. 1t is gratifying to
see papers as well as individuals rise
above party political considerations
occasionally. The Office of commits
siOner is the most difficult in county
to fill with satisfaction. The commits
sioners have to deal directly with a
great number of people and in the null
tiplicity of their duties, can hardly
avoid making some mistakes. The
trouble is that every mistake shows
right up where the public can see 1t,
and then every man who has griev-
ance, or thinks he has one. pounces on
to that mistake and falls to accusing
commissioners of all kinds of crimes.
We are all too prone to do that thing.
Taking the record for it, the commits
sioners of this county make a first
rate showing When it is considered
that not one of them was familiar,
through experience, with the manage
ment of a county, the number of mis-
takes actually made is very small.
Then when you think of the chances
for plumber in the organization of a
new county, it must appear that a
pretty wide streak of honesty runs
through the composition of our board.
A few weeks ago there was an expert
here who went through the records of
this county for his own private benefit
With view to investment in county
securities. He had gone through the
records of every county in Southern
Idaho, and he told the writer, for his
private benefit, that Canyon county
was the banner. This isn't taffy The
records are here yet. To the commits
sioners is due greater part of the
credit for this happy condition and it
ought to be awarded them cheerfully.
While no end of men might have been
found to do as well, it is extremely
doubtful if any could be found to do
better. After expunging all personal
feelings and party differences, the YER
dict of the record is creditable to the
commissioners and we think, generally
the county over. We hope
nothing will happen to mar the bright
ness of the page. We believe further
that, unless the unexpected develepes,
when the times comes for looking back
over Canyon county's first administra-
ton, people will say that, taken as
whole, it was pretty well managed and
all the offices were fairly, and hon
estly conducted.

WOE OF WOES.

A brother publisher, down the road,
has stored away in his refrigerator, be-
hind the office, letter emanating from
Boise City which is about the most pa
thetic political ode that was eyer per-
petrated on sympathetic and suscep-
tible Republican people. 1t was sent
out for general publication in orthodox
papers, but appearing in constellation
with the general depression, most Of
the publishers seem to have concluded
that its wild grief would spread a
gloom over the state that could end
nowhere short of abject dispair. At
the risk of awakening visions of pals
and collins and graves The TRIBUNE

appends one or two walls. Here is one:
"The state committee has been re-
ferred to as the proxy committee
notably by THE CALDWELL TRIBUNE
when it wasn't. No indeed, indeed it
wasn't" Here is another and the woe
of it is awful: 1.-The friends of Gov
ernor MCDONNELL have made personal
attacks on our trusted representatives
who are away off there, by themselves,
at Washington battling and bleeding
for our beloved state of Ida hO O-O-o!'
Great Gewhittaker Bring the smell
ing salts wrap US up in sack cloth and
ashes. Grave, where is thy victory !;
death, where is thy sting? 1ngratl-
tude! Thou base, damned villain OF
warped and shriveled souls. THE
TRIBUNE doesn't want to precipitate
any more of this kind of agony. Think
of campaign soaked in tears and the
candidates all dubbed Knights of the
Sorrowful Figure. For GODS sake let
the State Convention nominate a
bushel of senators. Let it nomin; te
school trustees, road overseers, consta
bles, postmasters, coronors, bottlewash
ers, any and everything it wants tt
nominate. We implore our brother
journalists not to spring that mourn
full nightmare on an already unhappy
state. Keep it in the refrigerator In
warm, living type, it would move the
stones to tears and breed an epidemic
of red eyes and profuse noses.

ARGUM EMIT.

Complaint is made that the senator
ial convention proposition has not been
fairly discussed. Whose fault is that
On the affirmative side it has not been
discussed at all and there was never
any intention of discussing it. Discus
sion has been evaded on every occasion
and the promoters have been satisfied
to answer all argument by attempted
stigma. They imagined that denunci-
alton of the opposition was the only
necessary argument, and even, now,
when driven by force of public senti-
ment to defend the scheme, rely mainly
on making it appear that any degree
of friendship for Governor MCCoN-
NELL is a public crime and to question
the political smethods of DUBOIS.
SHOUP and SWEET is heretical. The
only reason worthy a moments notice
ever given in favor of the proposition
is that it brings the election of senators
nearer the people. If that were true in
the slightest degree, it would overcome
many objections. 1t is, however, mere
assertion and false on it's face. Tie
legislature is no more bound by the &C.
ton OF the convention in 1894 than it
was in 1890; and in the latter year it
repudiated the convention. Every Re-
publican legislator is obligated by his
political faith to use every honorable
means in his power to accomplish the
election of a Republican senator. He
stands upon his political honor and ten
thousand conventions can not obligate
him beyond that point. But, we are
told. the people want to designate spe-
officially the individual. That is the
veriest rot, on its face. How can the
people want to designate specifically
when their preferences are divided
among half dozen candidates. The
people of some counties want Mr..
SWEET; those of other counties, Mr..
SlIoUP others, Mr.. HEPBURN others

STRONG RACE.

Several Republican papers are now talking up
W. E. BORAH as a candidate for Congress- II
Mr. BORAH Is AS popular In other counties as he
is In Owyhee, he can make strong race.-De
Lamar Nugget.
We believe Mr.. BORAH stands well
in most of the counties, at any rate, in
this section of the state. And now
that Mr.. SWEET seems to have posi-
lively declined standing for renomina-
ton, there seems to be nothing to in
terfere with Mr.. BORAn's nomination
and election. We have no information
Is to his own feelings in the matter,
and it appears to be, exceptionally, a
case of the Office hunting the man.

OUTSIDE COMMENT.

The Republicans of Idaho, it appears
from our special telegram from Boise
this morning, have determined not to
have the Senatorial question brought
into the local canvass, but will COM
NIT it direct to the Legislature. 1t
seems to us that this course is the
wisest possible to pursue. 1t is certain
that the Senatorship would be an ele-
ment of distraction and source of
weakness in the fights in the counties.
With this element in the canvass, the
union of all Republicans would cease
with the nominations; the Senatorial
candidate who failed to carry the local
conventions for his supporters would
have little interest left; but with this
question eliminated all can work ear
nestly in the general party interest.
The Idaho Republicans have done well
in their preliminary move.-Salt Lake

De- cember 2l. 1894. at 7:so o'clock, at which place Mir. Carroll intends to show. by a preponderance of facts, that the town government of New Haven Is better managed than either the city or school district and therefore should be re- tained.
 At the recommendation of the com mittee on lamps and gas lighting it was decided to enter Into contract with the New Haven Gas Light company for a period of three years for furnishing gas and other necessaries for the street lamps of the city at the rate of s23 per lamp per annum. unless at any time the number of lamps should exceed 500. at which time the contract price shall be s22.50. This price Is a reduction of 8 per lamp from the present price.

SECRETARY LAMONT OBJECTS.
Does Not Approve of tho New York and
 Now Jerscy Bridge.

NoW prAuEos
 Washington, Dec. l3.-sSecretary La mont has declined to approve the pro- Jeot of the New York and New Jersey Bridge company to build a cantilever bridge involving pier in the Hudson river, although 1t appears from letter addressed to him by the company on November 2l that provisional con- tract had been made for the building of such a structure. The secretary in letter to the president of the bridge company quoted the conclusions of the engineers appointed by the government to investigate the matter. who found that both the 2.0O0 foot cantllever bridge, which requires pier In the river. and the 3.100 foot suspension without a center pier would be safe and not impracticable as to cost.
 Secretary Lamont says he is assured that the time required for construction would be approximately the same for either bridge, and says: Tn view of these facts and findings, and of the very serious objections to pier in the harbor with its attendant delay and constant menace to navigation, I am constrained to require that the bridge to be built by the New York and New Jersey Bridge company across the Hud- son river shall have a single span be- tween the pier lines of the New York harbor"

SOME NEW IDEAS.

The Harvard Crew Is Now at Practice For
 the Race.
 Boston, Dec. 13-The Harvard var sity crew is receiving some new ideas on training about every day. Captain Fennessy to-day ordered the men to be at the gymnasium dressed for a walk. At the appointed time the forty candidates. dressed in every conceivable garb, from a rowing suit to street clothes, started out at a brisk pace, set by Captain Fennessy. The walkers went through North Cambridge and then turned towards home. When within a mile of the gymnasium the walk was turned to a run, and good swinging pace was kept up to the fin- ish.
 This form of work will be indulged in every other day. It is splendid exercise and saves the work from becoming a drudge. On the other days the crew is coached by MT. Watson in the Carey building. The tank practice has been abolished, and the old tank is covered over and the machines are placed in its stead.

 A Division wiii Result.
 Springfield. Mass. Dec. l3.-The finan- cial troubles of the Park Congregations al church resulted In a row this evening. the adjourned parish meeting lasting until midnight. The result was4hat the church practically rescineded the recent vote to pay Its debts dollar for dollar on n moral basis"
 The situation is full of complications. and much of the trouble Is due to dis satisfaction with the pastor. Rev. w. II. Dexter who became himself involved In debt SO that the prominent members had to help him out and set aside part of his salary for liquidation The pas- tor resigned recently and the resigna- ton was not accepted. George F. Fow- Ter. who Is opposed to Mir. Dexter. was chairman of the committee to raise tha church debt of $22,000.
 In securing subscriptions to meet It he persuaded the holder of one not for ss0O to surrender 1t without compensa- ton and bought another note for S5.o0O for s7O0 representing in both cases that the church was bankrupt. Many wers dissatisfied with this proceeding, and at the last meeting the church voted to meet its obligations on a moral basis.
 After a bitter debate tonight the Fowler party won. A wealthy member of the church had been about with subscription paper and he reported to- night that the entire amount had bee pledged, but the meeting refused to ac- cept his report. The result will prob. ably be division of the church.

 London, Dec. 1S.-The Standards Con- stantinople correspondent says that the commission appointed to inquire into the Armenian outrages have reached Erzinghian, where they met Zekki Pa sha. It is doubtful whether they will proceed much further, as the roads are blocked with snow. The correspond ent adds: ''IrObably months will elapse before the report wilLbs made" ...,
 The St. Petersburg Journal publishes a communication from the porte abso- lutely denying that any unarmed,, per sons were killed in Armenia On the contrary, it is said, the utmost kindness was shown the revolutionists. \ It is be- lieved in St. Petersburg that the Arme- nian complaints probably have been much exaggerated.
