The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-07-07
BRIDGE WANTED.

When the board of commissioners
meet next Monday, it might be well for
them to consider the advisabily of put
ting a new wagon bridge across the
Boise river. 1t seems that during high
water the only safe location is that
where the old bridge stands near Cald
WELL The channel of the river is sub
jecr to such radical changes that
bridges on most any other part of the
stream are utterly useless when most
needed. The TRIBUNE simply makes
this suggestion because of the great
loss and Inconvenience which would
certainly result if the old bridge should
take notion to float down stream next
spring. We understand that the cost
of maintenance and guarding the pres
ent structure would cover the interest
on first class bridge aud besides the
present structure is absolutely unsafe
and will, in spite of everything, go
down before very long. 1t is more
than probable that when it does go it
will be during a time, such as last
spring, when there is no other means of
traffic between the people on opposite
sides of the river. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the loss which such calamity
would entail We understand that
there is strong sentiment favOring
the erection of a new bridge this fall,
and apparently there is just ground for
feeling that way. We hope the com
missioners will give the matter atten-
ton and we have no doubt they will
dispose of it in such manner as will
best serve public interests.
The TERRIBLE affection which has
befallen Mr. Il. ID. CATALAN and fam
lily touches the hearts of hundreds of |
warm friends and acquaintance in
this part of the state. The sudden loss
of their son is terrible blow to the
loving parents and awakens the ten
derest sympathies in all who know
them. THE TRIBUNE can only extend
coincidence and hope that the bereaved
family may have strength to bear up in
the hour of their grief and misfortune.

The Pocket Versus Patriotism.

from Interview with s. Kurino, Japanese
Minister in The N. Y. World of Aug. I'D
The Chinese soldiers lack patriotism. As
you say here, they are out for the dust
Men who fight for pay are very apt to run
for fear. Then, again, the Chinese govern
ment is waging war as a matter of senti-
ment, and the Chinese soldier is not senti-
mental. If the Chinese government could
give the army enough food and enough
sentiment Japan would feel a good deal
more worried than she does.
From Mr.. Creelman's Description of the
Battle of PingS ang in the N. Y. World
of Oct. "a.
The whole principle of the Chinese sys-
tenn is wrong. The men are melted to
fight by promises of money, while the jap
anese commanders urge their soldiers on
in the name of the Emperor, telling them
that Japan is the agent of civilization in
the East, and that they are doing battle
for mankind.
The Japanese fight as whole for their
flag. The Chinese as individuals for
money.

Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn, of
the navy, in his annual report, recommends
that an economical and effectual method of
maintaining an efficient naval organization
is for the government to have under con-
struction continuously at each of the main
repair yards-New York, Norfolk and Mare
Island-at least one vessel of sufficient size
constantly to employ a force of workmen
sufficient to satisfy the emergency demands
usually made by the feet when undergoing
its annual overhauling. During the last
year the keels of but three new naval ves-
sells have been laid those of the gunboats
at Newport News, Va. Three vessels were
launched, the battleship Oregon the protect
ed cruiser Minneapolis and the torpedo boat
Ericsson. Six vessels have had official trial
trips, their speed records in knots being as
follows: Castine, 1903; Marblehead,
Is A; Columbia, 90 so; Olympia, q 60 !;
Montgomery, 1906. and the Minneapolis
% 073, the latter being the fastest vessel of
her size afloat. The vessels to be added to
the active strength of the navy this year, in
addition 70 those named above, are the
Maine and the Texas. After the necessary
armor and ordnance materials are received,
the battleships Indiana aud Massachusetts
can be completed in seven months, and the
Oregon in four months.

Harper's Weekly, now radical free
trade Democratic organ, appears to have
been struck with remarkable degree of
moral blindness. 1t says the Wilson tariff
bill, if it were submitted to q popular vote,
would receive the approval of large ma
jority of the American people. 1t fails to
see that the strong popular drift of opinion
is in just the opposite direction, and that all
the elections held within the past twelve
months plainly show this. All the Repub-
lican voters and a large portion of the
Democratic voters are opposed to British
free trade. George W. Curtis was not al
ways wise in his estimate of public opinion,
but he was never afflicted with such moral
obliqui.y and lack of real American and
popular instinct as the present political edi-
tor of the Weekly Harper. Its failure to
see how little difference there really is in
principle and patriotism between Hill and
Cleveland is most singular.

Japan Rejects MEDIATION.
Scenes on the Ping.Yans Battlefield.

The London Central News says that the
msdating powers have submitted further
and more definite proposals for peace to
China and Japan, but Japan rejected them.
! The Japanese government held that the
opening overtures must be made directly at
Hiroshima from quarter formally &C.
credited and empowered to make them.
| China was ready to conclude an armistice
or peace on reasonable conditions.
1.-THE Globe" prints dispatch from Yok-
ohama saying that fighting took place
near Port Arthur on Tuesday. 1t is be-
lieved that the japanese troops engaged
were those composing the second army OF
about thirty thousand men which recently
left Hiroshima. Details of the battle are
lacking.
ACentral News dispatch from Tien-Tsin
says that Generals Yeh and Web, who were
recently disg,aced, the former on charge
of COW ardice and the latter on charges of
cowardice and extortion, have been cum
moned to Peking.
A dispatch to the Central News from
Shanghai says that the Norwegian steam
er, Nordenskjold, which was boarded
and searched by the Japanese off Shang-
TuDg and sent to Japan in consequence OF
contraband material being found on board
of her, has arrived at Taku. The dispatch
also says that the Norwegian steamer Pick,
at Tien-Tsin from Shanghai, which was
stopped off Shan-Tung promontory by a
Japanese warship and searched, had on
board 600 soldiers. Upon the approach of
the Japanese ship the soldiers took off their
uniforms and burned them. The Japanese
on making search of the Pick found
nothing contraband, and allowed her to pro-
coed to her destination.
1.-THE Morning Post" has this dispatch,
dated at Chemulpo on Oct. 49,
The second force of japanese left Seoul
on the 18th to quell the rebellion OF the
Tonghako, who are impeding seriously the
pacifcation of the country, stirring hatred
and revolt wherever they appear. The
japanese are trying to check their agitation,
ond have scattered silver plentifnlly among
the Coreans. 1t is said that in Seoul alone
they have disbursed 100, 900 yen.
The road from Seoul to Ping Yang is
strewn with the decomposing carcasses of
horses and cattle. On the battlefield of
Ping-Yang the stencil is terrible. Many of
the dead Chinese were buried hastily, and
with but few handfuls of earth over their
bodies. The graves have been washed
open by the rains and the bodies are now
exposed to the sun. Large numbers of
sick Japanese have been brought here in
boats, by night. Most of them are suffer
ing from dysentery. The arrangements of
the japanese hospitals are very defective.
Officers who were present at Ping-Yang say
that the Chinese infantry cut through the
enemy's ranks, but the cavalry were an
initiated, the horses sticking in the marshes
and going down by the score under the
japanese FIRE.

Good Example.

One of the bright and commendable
things in the earlier business life of E1-
Vice President Morton, soon to be the
governor elect of the Empire state, is the
fact that having failed in mercantile enter
prises and been obliged to settle with his
creditors at q discount, and having
subsequently been successful in business
he repaid in full all his former creditors
with whom he had been obliged to settle at
a discount. This he did without any solic-
itation from those who received this
proof of his integrity and financial honor.
This incident in Mr.. Morton's private ca
reer is an evidence that the citizens OF
New York have not acted hastily in Sc
lecting him as their agent to secure finan-
cial honesty in their state affairs.

Two years ago the ladies of the Free
Baptist church of North Berwick sent box
to mission in India and among the con-
tributions received for the box was a velvet
dress for child which little girl gave.
The ladies, with some misgivings about a
dress of this material ever being worn in
India, put it in the box with the other arti-
Giles. Two weeks ago two of the ladies who
had packed the box went to Houlton to at
tend the Free Baptist convention, which
was held there and one day drove over to
Woodstock, N. B. There they saw little
girl with velvet dress on and the dress W as
identified as either being the one which
had been sent to India or its dupli-
cate. They were enough interested to
talk to the little girl and this is what they
learned. Her father had been missionary
in India and had died there not long ago.

mother had remained in India and had sent
the children to live with relatives in Wood
stock and the velvet dress the little girl had
on was the same which had been shipped
from North Berwick two years before.
