NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Among the
many messages of congratulation which

NO Tammany Officials Can BE Re-
moved Without Cause.
New YORK, Nov. 7.-The ultimate
result of the defeat of Tammany is a
subject Of general discussion. Under
the state law the mayor has power to
remove heads of departments only when
charges of malteasance or misdemeanOr
shall have been preferred and even in
some instances the power is limited by
provision for review by the governor.
The revelations made before the SEN
ate investigating committee will become
basis of procedure against nearly all
the Tammany members of the city gov
ernment. Another plan may be the
adoption by the Legislature of bill CIV
ing mayors of cities of the first class the
power of removal over all heads of de-
partmentS upon what might seem to
him to be adequate cause.

returns have so far been received from
the counties OIL constitutional conyen-
tion amendment it is almost certain
that they have been passed. The
few county totals received show
an average falling of from the winning
ticket vote Of about 5 per cent. and that
mainly by reason of people not voting
for them. The appOrlionmenu amend-
ment and the canal amendment run to-
gether, and have Il heavier vote than
the amendment containing the balance
of the propositions.
Some OF the Democratic counties that
gave Mr.. Morton plurality have given
slight maJorlties against the amend
mentS.
By the adoption of the proposed con-
StltutiOn there will be next year fifty
state senators and $50 assem- blymen,
but no county can have more than one
third the senators, nor any two adj0in-
ing counties have more than one half.

ALWAYS IN THE FRONT.

Perhaps nothing gives better
character abroad to town than a
first class hotel. In this respect
Caldwell is particularly fortunate
and has better Accommodations than
any town between Granger and
Portland. In the last year the
Pacific Hotel has made reputa-
ton for itself which reflects no
slight degree of credit on the whole
community. 1t indicates not only
the ability Of the proprietor, but the
progress and enterprise Of the town.
Every wideawake business man
will see the advantage and in fact
necessity of giving a good hotel
moral and material support.
Hundreds of people who stop over
a day or 90 could not be induced
to do so if hotel accommodations

UNBIDDEN THOUGHTS.

Occasionally one will do little
independent thinking in spite OF
oneself and the temptation to re-
cord those uncomfortable thoughts
is practically irresistible. We
have often heard reformers justify
themselves for not practicing re-
firm on the grounds that if they
did not take advantage of pre-
sented opportunities some one else
would do so. The opponent OF
large land holdings very logically
concludes that if he does not own
the acres some i'll disposed person
may appropriate them. The anti
monopolist reasons that he is justi-
fed in monopolization on humani-
ta,an grounds, because there is all
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-01-13

1t is encouraging to note the wide
spread interest that is being taken
in the question of irrigation. In
deed, it is rapidly coming to the
front as the question of the day.
With increased interest and inves-
tigation, opinions are also taking a
radical change and the idea that
land and water are inseparable is
gaining strength and popularity.
Even private jrrigating companies
are beginning to realize that if they
can pull out whole, they will have
done extremely we'll. No doubt
the whole question of irrigating en-
terprises has been f1agrantly mis-
represented to the real investors;
they had been lead to believe that
as soon as the canals were CON-
pleted all the surrounding land
would Immediately be appropriated;
the sale of perpetual rights" would
exemplify the hot cake business;
their investment would all flow back
in an incredibly short time and for

the venture they would receive a
handsome annuity until time
should be no more. It hasn't
turned out that way, and if the in
vestors had taken upon themselves
the trouble to investigate more and
invest less, they might have known
no such things could happen. If
the land holders were in reach,
which they are not, we would like
to suggest to them that the sooner
they appoint a commission to look
up the status of irrigation matters
the better off they will be. The
simple fact of the matter is that the
whole business will have to be re-
constructed or 60 to destruction.
the disposition to purchase water
rights is rapidly dying off; the rush
for arid land under corporation
canals is tagging woefully, and by
common consent the country has
come to a stand still. Instead of
being an incentive, the private irri-
CATION schemes are now actually
operating as bar to immigration
and a menace to progress. But the
change is coming and the day is
not for distant when the arid region
will be the happiest, most prosper
Gus and most valuable region in
the world.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-01-13

THE TRIBUNE mentions an un-
pleasant passage at the court
house, Thursday, in most kindly
spirit and purely for the purpose
of suggesting that the proceedings
of the Board Of County Commits
sioners ought always to be con-
ducted with decorum. The board
constitutes, at once, the most i'm
portant judicial and executive
court in the county and it should
preserve its dignity and composure,
at all times, when transacting pub
lie business. There is no occasion
for heated controversy or per-
sonal alteration, and when bust
ness is conducted in an orderly
way such things cannot occur.
The time has come when public
officers must conform their conduct
to the il nortanre Of the position
they occupy aud no officer can
afford to forget for ID single moment
that he has III keeping a sacred
trust which he cannot violate or
disrespect with impunity.

WILL IT HELP IDAHO?

1t is now generally conceded that
the repeal of the Sherman law has
not operated as an antidote for
hard times. That is settled. The
buoyancy of spirit and prosperous
wave has not occurred. Confidence
has been restored in so far as
banks are concerned; that is to
say, the bankers, whatever sur
vive of them. have succeeded in
piling up reserves to such degree
that their danger is passed. But
times are not perceptibly improved.
According to the CLEVELAND theory
one more thing is necessary to
complete the inauguration of a
veritable millennium; that is, an
Inhalation of the robber tariff. The
people of Idaho are not in position
to Judge of the effect of such ami
hilation on other states, but they
may form pretty clear conceptions
with respect to their own state.
Wool and lead help make up the
ruffian gang called, collectively, the
the robber tariff. 1t is pretty gen.
orally understood that any reduc-
ton of tariff will paralyze those in
dustries. Well, if killing silver
has depressed the country to its
present condition, where will it be
at when lead and wool are MUIR
dered? This is a question which
comes directly home to the people
Of Idaho, and should be investi-
gated in the light Of facts, without
reference to fine spun theories or
partisan prejudices. Will it be
good for Idaho to have its silver,
wool and lead industries destroyed
or even seriously impaired? The
tariff question hath it's complica-
tons and one of them is that the
theories don't seem to fit the facts
except when applied to the other
fellow. Give US free trade in 43
states, but good Lord and high
tariff protect the forty fourth which
is ours-Idaho.
