law honestly as he understands it and
we believe that he will administer jus
tice with a fair and impartial hand,
without fear or favor. On account of
the character of the campaign through
which he has passed, those that op-
posed him will be quick to detect and
exaggerate the slightest fault. That
disposition may for time cast some
doubt upon the integrity or ability Of
his court, but 1t will soon pass away,
and without making any extravagant
forecasts, we do not hesitate to predict
that four years hence, Judge RICHARDS
will be more firmly entrenched in tht
hearts and the confidence of the people
than he is today.

JUDGE RICHARDS,

For the ensuing four years Hon. J.
II. RICHARDS viii preside over the dis
trict court Of the third judicial district
OF Idaho. His election was surrounded
by some peculiar and and extraordin.
airy incidents. While he was the NOM
inee of the Republican party, he re-.
ceived open endorsement and support
by influential members and even nomi-
nees Of tho Democratic party. On the
other hand he was suspicioned and in
some instances criticized by members
of his own party. Then came along a
county seat fight which caused the in.
jectment OF considerable unfavorable
matter into his campaign and mixed
things deplorably. However, Mr.. RICH
ARDS is duly elected and we bespeak
for him the cheerful support and re-
spect of the people Of Canyon county.
It must be borne in mind that he is
now the officer of the people and not
the representative of any party or fac
ton. Whatever of unpleasantness was
engendered through the campaign
should now be laid aside all prejudice
should be allayed and Judge RICHARDS
should be made to feel that he enters
upon his duties with the kindliest
wishes Of q generous and intelligent
people. We believe that he will make
an upright and satisfactory officer i

TRi.COL ORE

Politically speaking, the next board
Of missioners Of Canyon county
will be tri-colored. There will be Re-
publican, Populist and . Democrat.
II the reputation of each member is
correctly understood, the county will
profit by the virtues of each party.
Mr.. PARTRIDGE Is not only good Re-
publican. but good man and so Of Mr..
STAFFORD and Mr.. JOHNSON, except
that the latter are Populist and Demo
crat respectively. THE TRIBUNE is
not intimately acquainted with any of
the gentlemen, but from all we can
learn believe that they are competent
and honorable mon and will administer
the affairs Of county wisely and eco
nomically. Messrs. STAFFORD and
JOHNSON are old residents of this Sec
ton and are we'll and favorably known.
Among their friends and neighbors
they have always borne good name.
and they enjoy the esteem and conf
dence of their respective communities.
Such men ought to, and generally do,
make first class officers. Mr.. PAR
FRIDGE is a younger man, but his rep
utation is without a blemish. He has
fine business ability and is a careful,
conservative ran. We believe it is
due to the incoming hoard tn Mace
them justly and favorably before the
taxpayers, because at the outset. politi-
cal differences may to some extent in
terfere with the smooth workings Of
the administration. Under existing
conditions, it will be especially needful
that each member of the board forget
as far as possible tina: he Is a partisan
and remember only that he is a trusted
public servant with important obliiga-
ti0ns to discharge.

A COMMUNICATION appeared in
Wednesdays TRIBUNE which raises
question as to whether or not Caldwell
is legally Incorporated city. In view
OF the proposed issuance of bonds, that
is a serious consideration, because if
there is any doubt of the legal exist
ence of the city, it will be impossible to
place its bonds. We heard this matter
limited at before but supposed that it
was mere bubble and that, of course,
the city authorities had fully advised
themselves in the premises before pro-
ceeding to call the election. We still
hope that our supposition was correct
and that the constitutional require
ments have been complied with. How
ever, it might be well for the city at
torI,ey to examine into this matter and
put all doubt at rest.

MAY HAVE SOME SENSE.

About the queerest thing about mel
is their amazing and picturesque van
ity. Have you noticed the splendh
display of it which has been made il
connection with explanations of the
causes of the recent political revolu-
ton? Have you heard single solu
ton given by the defeated which did
not reflect on the intelligence, patriot
ism and integrity of the American
people? Every imaginable cause is set
forth except a rational aud generous
one. Two years ago when the Repub-
lican party was buried under an ava
lanche of adverse ballots, the same rea-
sons, were advanced by Republicans to
account for that event as are now CIV
on BY Democrats to account for the
contrary event. Republicans then
charged Democratic victory to the ig'
norance and servility of the American
people and Democrats solemnly cred
tied it to their intelligence and indie
pendence. Today Democrats are ell
gagged in aspersing the motives and de-
riding the character of the American
people, while Republicans are wild in
laudation. But the day before election,
Democrats as well as Republicans were
cracking their lungs in admiration of
those same American people. This all
comes from the innate vanity of men.
The fact Of the matter is that man is
so built that any one who doesn't see
and act just as he does Is essentially
unsound, Intellectually or morally.
Considering the multitudinous mis-
takes and absurdities which every man
knows he is guilty of, isn't it strange
that he doesn't eventually drop on him
self, so to speakp Well, he would if
his vanity would let him do it. But no
matter how prolific of error and crud-
ity a mans past experience may be, he
never for moment questions his pres
ent infalIibility, nor doubts the utter
incapacity of everybody in opposition.
We have just been wondering il, after
all, it may not he true that the Ameri-
can people know what they want and
what is best for them. Perhaps, the
American people, who are continuously
the subject of abuse by one side or the
other, know something about politics
and government themselves. Possibly,
all the wisdom is not confined to the
OF course, we wouldn't pre-
tend to say it is so, because more than
one witness has testified his absolute
knowledge of the contrary, but, vanity
permitting, it might be well enough
to think a little along that line.
1t might make men more gener-
Gus and tolerant. Someway, it
makes a man uncomfortable to keep
believing that the biggest part of the
is composed Of scoundrels and
mutton heads, and then it makes him
exclusive and high toned. It wouldn't
be amiss to concede the American peo-
pie little sense and honesty, we kind

TWO BILLS.

We believe that the future success of
the Republican party in Idaho is large
ly dependent on the conduct of the
coming state legislature. Its every act
will be closely scrutinized and unless
it fulfills reasonable expectations, the
failure will be charged against the Re-
publican party and the account settled
by defeating the party two years hence
We believe that the efforts at general
legislation should be confined to few
specific subjects. Probably two enact.
ments would cover the whole ground.
Indeed, if the whole session were de-
voted to the formulation and passage
of good, practical irrigation law, the
legislature would be entitled to the re-
spect, confidence and thanks of the peo-
pie. We believe it was Blackstone
who said that the danger is always in
the direction of too much legislation.
BLACKSTONE knew what he was talk
ing about, and the coming legislators
should be guided by his warning. In
addition to general irrigation law, a
few minor laws are required, most i'm.
portant of which is an act to establish
an immigration bureau. The state
should undertake to do something to
wards encouraging aud inducing i'm
migration. We believe the legislators
would consult the interests of the Re-
publican party and contribute largely
to the welfare of tho state by combining
their legislative efforts to the subjects
named. VI course there will be seine
unimportant bills to pass, but general
legislation may profltably be confined
to irrigation and immigration.

THE CREAM OF CURRENT THOUGHT.

THE CREAM OF CURRENT THOUGHT.
Public Opinion, published at Wash
ington, D. e., is weekly journal de-
voted to the reproduction, in condensed
form, of carefully selected magazine
articles and of editorial comment from
the representative daily and weekly
press of all political parties, and from
all parts Of the country. The readers
of Public Opinion get all sides of every
question. 1t is just the paper that the
farmer and villager need for general
reading. 1t keeps its readers fully
abreast of the times and supplies them
with the best thought of the day in the
fields of American affairs, foreign
affairs, sociology, commerce, finance
religion, science, education, art and
new books. Public Opinion and The
TRIBUNE supplement each other adj
mirably. Together they give the farm
or or villager and his family more of
current news, editorial comment, and
magazine literature than can be had in
any other way for FIVE times their cost.
The price of Public Opinion has been
reduced from $500 to $3.50 per year.
We have just completed arrangements
by which we can offer Public Opinion
and THE TRIBUNE for "a cash per year.

NoN-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY.

Looking backward over the political
events connected with the late election
in this state the contest for the judge
| ship Of the third judicial district takes
precedence in ardor and bitterness. 1t
disclosed one of the great difficulties
which is met when practical attempt
is made to remove the judiciary from
the pale Of partisan politics. We YEN
ture to say that the judgeship contest
has left In its wake more fostering dis
appointments and more heart burninps
than any other incident of the state
campaign. yet, from its inception, it
was avowedly non-partisan fight.
Judge NUGENT's politics was not at
tackled, neither was Mr.. RICHARDS pol
itics urged In his favor. Men worked
and voted without respect to party at
filiation, but the conduct Of the cam
paign was marked by degree of acri-
mony Tar SURPRISING in intensity any
straight party fight. The actual facts
connected with the contest present any
thing but q hopeful prospect to the ad-
vocates Of non-partisan judiciary
election. It would seem in this case,
at least, that the loosening of party ties
only aggravated the prejudices and
what, otherwise, might have been q de-
cent rivalry descended to personal
squabbles, characterized by everything
discreditable to blind partisanship and
unrelieved BY single bsnefcent feat
ure. In ante-election days, The TRrB-
UNE was disposed to take high nom
partisan grounds, but in the light of
recent experience, our views are held
subject to revision. The blindness of
party zeal is not in it with the fervor
OF personal conflict. As there is honor
and glory in the battles of armies, 80
there is some credit and responsibility
in the conflict of parties, but woe to
the man who gets mixed up in per-
sonal encounter, whether at arms or
politics, there is no glory, no honor, no
profit in it. We are now inclined to be-
Iieve that candidates for judicial posi-
lions should not be called upon to

INSTRUCT THE STATESMEN.

The mec ers 0. the coming legisla-
ture are r"w duly elected and will con-
vene for business in about six weeks.
We simply wish to enquire whether or
not those soon to be active Legislators
have any very clear conception of the
wishes Of their constituency? Do the
Canyon county members know defin-
itely what stand the people desire them
to take on the water question, the agri-
cultural college question, the senatorial
question, or anything else? We sus-
pect that they do not. We suspect
there are not in the state two elected
members who know the majority senti-
ment of their constituency on any spe-
cific subject. When the legislature
meets, it will be meeting of men rep
resenting nothing but their own no
lions, vaguely and irresponsibly formed
Eifty-four alleged representatives will
meet to enact laws for the peace and
prosperity of their state; not one ir
twenty of them will have definite
.dea or purpose, except it be some bit OF
special legislation which the constitu-
ton strictly forbids. The Legislators
are not to blame. They have been 50.
lected here and there unfortunately,
not on account of any particular fitness
or capability, but because legislative
Office was considered commensurate to
their party services. We believe the
coming legislature will be quite as
good, and perhaps better, than any Of
its predecessors the members will all
mean well and try to discharge their
obligations, but they will not know
what to do; they don't know what the
people want. In view of this condition
OF affairs, We believe the people ought
to meet in their respective voting pre-
cincts and discuss the question of leg
islation. They ought to settle on a few
leading ideas and then elect delegates
to general meeting to be held at the
county seat-a sort of legislative con-
vention. Those delegates ought then
to determine on such legislation as the
best interests of their county require
and the representatives should be in.
structed to procure it if possible. In
this manner legislators can be made
conversant with the sentiments of their
constituents. They will know defin-
itely what is expected of them and
they will be held strictly accountable
for failing to faithfully perform their
duties. We recommend that the peo-
pie Of Canyon county take some steps
in this matter. Something ought to be
done to make representatives, in some
degree, representative. All legisla-
ture is expected to do is to enact such
laws as the people want, how then shall
proceed if people have never
their wants? Heretofore
too much has been left to the machina
tions Of lobbyists and invention Of
