Mr.. Witt there appears 10 b some
danger Of accomplishing thai result.
We are not lead 70 say this through any
personal or political antagonism. as we
fervently hope that there Is some mis-
take, but IL Is case wherein public In
terest demands that the true facts be

The above is from the Caldwell Tri-
bune. Anyone who has ever seen the

way peculiarly its own Of attacking peo-
pie under the guise Of friendship. IL

monious face on her, and hoy sorry she

How many innocent people have been
ripped up the back in just this manner
The Tribune is apparently as innocent
as kitten. IL don't know that these
stories are true about Mr.. Witt. II does
not even say that 1t believes them. Yet
IL publishes them broadcast over the
country and does Mr.. Witt grave in
justice which IL can never repair. We
believe II was done deliberately and in
tentionally for expressly that purpose,
Notwithstanding profuse professions Of
innocence. We have an idea We know
Just about what the Tribune has heard
with regard 10 Mr.. Witt. We had hop
ed that the INDEX would not be com
PEELED to take sides In the commission

J, V. r. Witt will unquestiouably be
the choice Of the people as commissioner
from the third district OF Canyon county.
He is ripe IN years and business expert
ence and the opposition recognize in him
n formidable opponent and can be de-
pended upon to do most ANYTHING In or
der to defeat him. But he will get there
in spite OF their lies aud misreprssenta-
lions, exaggerations and equivocations.
There is not man in Emmett today
who is more universally esteemed and
respected than J. V. X. Witt and his
business ability is second to none. He
would make an exemplary commissioner
and he would not be the mouthpiece OF
figurehead Of any other man or set Of
men. He has mind OF his own and It
is a good one, too.

The election is over, and now there
are many Democrats who have their
theories concerning the causes OF the
defeat Of Mr.. Buckalew in the district,
and the small majority for the State
and County ticket. There is not a
man, of course, who will admit for a
moment that he had anything to do
with it, but he knows some other fel.
lows upon whom he puts the blame.
Those whose friends were defeated
for nomination at the county conven-
tion ascribe the result to rottenness
of the convention" Another blames
the newspapers for alleged inactivity /;
another charges treachery, in quarters
where warm friendship was professed
for the Democratic candidates, and
so on down the list. All this is sheer
nonsense. The fact is that we are
beaten, and that is bad enough with
out starting dissensions and fights
within the party, by every man trying
to hold somebody else responsible
for the defeat. We are beaten be-
cause the wind blew that away this
year. 1t was a Republican year, and
no efforts on the part OF anybody
could have averted it. Instead of
back-bltings and false accusation
within the party, We need unity and
concord, and in no other way can we
hope to regain our usual old time
prestige, and stand among the counties
that can always be relied upon for a
good big Democratic majority. Let a
halt be called on this sort of thing,
and let us put our shoulders to the
wheel for 1896.

Sugar and Whiskey Rulers Responsible fol
a Treasury Deficit Of $l3,500,000
in October.

The last monthly treasury state
ment shows that on October 81, 1894,
the public debt, less cash in the treas
ury, amounted to $oII,327,47I, an
increase for the month of $I3,6So,-
S54.
The concession made in the sugar
and whiskey trusts are responsible for
the big treasury deficit for the past
month. The sugar men imported a
six months supply before the tariff
act went into effect, and the receipts
of customs from this source have
amounted to comparatively little.
The whiskey men withdrew from bond
thousands of gallons under the oo-cent
tax, with the result that it will be sew
eral months before the additional 30
cents gallon will cut any figure in
the internal revenue returns.
These large Withdrawals temporar-
lily swelled the treasury receipts for
the first month after the act became
operative, but during the past four
weeks they have amounted to less
than half OF the receipts for the same
month year ago. The 40 per cent.
tax on raw sugar, which the sugar
statesmen virtuously insisted would
net the treasury $40, 900, 900 annually
has realized less than half million
during the past TWO months.
The amount these two trusts have
benefited at the governments ex-
pense is shown clearly in the deficit,
and it is quite likely that this deficit
will increase to $2s, 900 before
the government gets any big returns
from either sugar or whiskey.

As We View Defeat.

The one peculiarity of political
defeat is that it neither convicts nor
converts as rule. Those who do
their own thinking and are not for
sale find no trouble about justifying
their position and reconciling it with
good government. Those who are for
sale care more for the money their
votes Will bring them than they do
TOR good government or namely princi-
pie. If righteous religious effort often
suffers temporary defeat surely the
very best political effort-always more
or less suspicious must expect it.

The Republican party is in the posi-
ton of the second doctor who takes
charge of apatient who is convalescing.
If the patient continues 20 improve,
the new doctor claims all the credit
for it, but if he relapses, then oil course
it is the fault of the other doctor.
Under democratic rule business has
commenced to improve, but if it so
continues the republicans will claim
that their return to power brought it
about, but if it turns the other way,
then of course they will say that it is
the result of democratic misrule.

The New OSar of Russia.

Replying to the messages of homage
from the senate and holy synod, the
car said to the former body:
Il am assured of the feelings of de.
votion which the senate has expressed
toward me, and l have no doubt l
shall have its co operation in the ser
vice of my dear country and in the
path marked out by my ever lamented
father"
To the synod the emperor address
ed the following remarks:
81 heartily thank you for the senti.
ments of sympathy expressed to me al
this moment of deep sorrow inspired
by ardent love for my departed father,
| shall devote all my strength to the
service OF my dear country and the
Orthodox church."

The Democratic 0verturn.

A school5oy who was asked to de-
fine responsibility" said if he had
only two buttons on his trousers and
one came off all the responsibility
would rest on the other button. This
was not a bad definition, and it
affords very accurate idea of the
popular apprehension of party respon-
sibility. The party in power is held
to account for everything that results
through the default of the party out
of power, and it nearly always hap
pens for this reason that political
successes are followed by reverses.
The Democrats came into power in
1892 just on the eve of an industrial
and financial revulsion, for which
previous bad industrial and financial
legislation was almost wholly respon-
sible. The people have put the
whole responsibility, not on the failure
OF the button that came off, but on
the other button.
The times have begun to mend as
result of Democratic corrective leg
islation, but the change for the better
was not quick enough to prevent Re-
publican success. Twenty years ago
after the panic of 1873 there were a
succession of Democratic victories
precisely as the panic of 1893 has
bred Republican victories, but with
this difference, that there was no
question in 1873 as TO where the
whole blame should properly rest. In
this habitual swinging back and forth
of the political pendulum is the only
consolation Democrats can find in
the results of yesterdays elections.
The Republican sweep of 1894 is
nearly an equivalent for the Demo
cratic sweep of 1892. Honors are
therefore even.
To some extent, however, Demo
cratic disasters are the direct out.
come of Democratic discussions and
mistakes President Cleveland has
developed wonderful incapacity for
successful leadership, and he has not
lacked able assistance in the Senate
and House. The disastrous overturn
in New York State is result of
blundering at Washington and plumb
ering in New York city No party
and no leadership could stand up
under such double load.
Whatever have been the causes of
Democratic defeat it is a matter of
congratulation that there will be a
decisive Republican majority in the
House of Representatives. The
power of initiative in that body brings
with it grave responsibilities, which
cannot be shifted as they might have
been had the Populists obtained
members enough to hold the balance
of power. The position of the Re
publicans will be one of harmlessness
and ineffectiveness. They cannot
change the tariff as it stands They
are committed at any rate against
further tariff agitation. Their victory
is therefore bootless one. 1t is no,
until 1896 that decisive battle can
be fought. BY that time all the con-
ditions will be Favorable Tor sober
decision.-Phila. Record.

The Congressional Vote.

Up to the hour of going to press it
has been impossible to get the returns
from a reliable source from other
counties in this congressional district.
There is, however, no doubt but that
Kulp is elected. The majorities are
about as follows
Buckalew. Kulp.
Columbia, 735
Montour, l3
northumberland, 1851
sullivan, "a
$50 1915
This gives Kulp a majority in the
district of o55.
