Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

The case of Waddell & Kimball VS..
ICook q Hamlin, just tried in the Dis
trict Court has attracted unusual at
tention among the people of this sec
ton of the State, not only on ac-
count of the issues involved, but
from the fact that one of our fellow
townsmen was pitted single-handed
against the ablest team of lawyers
on the Pacific coast. Messrs. P.
Reddy Of San Francisco and W. E.
f. Deal of Virginia City represented
Waddell & Kimball, and Cook &
Hamlin were represented by p. M.
Bowler. Many people were i'm
pressed with the idea, that regardless
of the facts and law Of the case Mr..
Bowler would be swamped by the
sheer weight of metal QegaD on the
other side, but he seemed to rise to
the exigencies of the case, and made
so perfect presentation of his facts,
developed the most logical reason
ing, and finally argued his case in
such a mastery manner that his
friends and our, people generally were
surprised and pleased to note the
able manner in which be acquitted
himself.
We predict successful future for
Mr. Bowler All that ,is needed 10

The Arrastra Case.

The case of Waddeu & Kimball VS..
Cook Il Hamlen occupied the District
Court for five days last week. This
is the case wherein the plaintiffs
alIege that they shipped about 80
tons of ore to defendants arrastra
which was worth $3.50 per ton, and
that they received only about Sl50
per ton therefor. The suit was to
recover fine difference, about $4,000
Many witnesses were examined on
both sides, All the allegations in
the complaint were admitted by the
defense, except that the ore was
worth the amount alleged, they
claiming that they worked the ore to
the best of their ability and deliv-
cred the entire product thereof to
the plaintiffs.
W. E. L. Deal opened the argu-
ment for plaintiff. He was followed
by P NJ Bowler for defendants, and
Pat Reddy closed for the plaintiffs.
The jury was out less than ten
minutes. They returned verdict
for defendants. They stood ten for
defendants and one for plaintiffs
there being only eleven.

THE COMMITTEE MEETING.

The State Democratic Central Com
mittee will meet at Nampa on next
Tuesday afternoon.
A number of important matters will
be before it. Among then the cleo
ton of chairman to fill the unexplr-
ed term of Mr.. Tillinghast, resigned.
The naming of time and place for the
State convention and making the APP
portlonment of representation from
the counties in which there will be
such large increase of voters.
All of these matters should be care
fully considered and acted upon. 1t
will be of the greatest Importance to
the party to have an active, Jealous,
working leader. Not one who will
rest on his oars while the party boat
floats on the stream, but one who will
pull for the shore where the glories of
victory are found.
The time and place must be judici-
ously and wisely selected, not with
view of advancing the candidacy OF
any one office seeker or set of Office
seekers or for any local advantage,
but for the good of the party through
out the state. The best ends of the
party must be served in the selection.
The apportionment for representa-
ton in the convention must be made
to do justice to the counties from
which a large increase of voters will
come next November. These matters
must not and cannot be overlooked.
If the committee will act wisely in its
selections and IN its appointments
the fruits of It's labors, like the fruits
of bread cast on the waters, will be
seen in the near future, in the coming
campaign.

ALL THREE CONVICTED.
COxey, Browne and Jones Found Guilty.
Their Possible Punishment.

COxey, Browne and Jones Found Guilty.
Their Possible Punishment.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The three
leaders of the commonweal, Coxey,
Browne and Jones, have been found
guilty of violating the laws by jury
Of their peers and will have to submit
to sentence hereafter to be imposed
by the court for their recent demon
stration on the capitol grounds. Thus
ends what, as the leaders stated, was
the "greatest march of the nineteenth
century"
All three of the accused were tried
on the first count of the indictment
which charged them with displaying a
banner designed to bring into public
notice the Coxey good roads associa-
ton. Jones was acquitted on the
second charge, which accused him Of
treading on the grass, but Coxey and
Browne were convicted. Attorney Lip
comb Immediately entered motion
for new trial and another for the ar.
rest Of judgment.
Judge Miller gave him four days to
file the formal paper. Then the Judge
made inquiries about bail and Frank
Hume, the well known Wholesale gro
Ger, signed bond in $500 each for
each of the convicted men.
Three weeks may elapse, during
which time they will be free on bail
before the motion tor a new trial is
argued and decided.
The penalty provided by law is the
same for each offense, viz: A fine not
to exceed 500 and Imprisonment in
Jail not more than 60 days, or both
within the discretion of the court. Ac-
cordingly the punishment which may
be meted out to Coxcy and Browne is

ACT QUICKLY, GENTLEMEN.

The merchants and business men
Of New York are evidently out Of pa
thence with the Senates delay on the
tariff bill. A call is out for a meeting
to be held at Cooper Union to 'adopt
resolutions respectfully urging upon
the Senate the immense Importance of
passing the bill without further delay
and of terminating the present uncer-
tainty in respect both to the passage
of the bill and its character when
passed"
Nothing is to be gained By prolong-
ing the agony. For years the subject
has been thoroughly discussed from
every possible standpoint, and if any
thing material has been omitted in its
consideration by the House at the
present session we are not aware Of
it. There IS little room for doubt that
the New York merchants voice the
sentiments of the entire country on
this question.
Rightly or wrongly the people will
hold the leaders of the dominant par.
ty responsible for the prevalent com
mercial depression and the terrible
suffering thereby brought home to
hundreds of thousands who meyer be-
fore knew the pinch Of want. The
leaders Of the majority in both House
and Senate should get together with
out loss of time and agree upon some
measure that will, at least in part, re-
deem their pledges of reform, and on
which they carried the country by an
overwhelming vote. The fall elections
are not far of. Time is needed to
prove the wisdom or otherwise of any
tariff changes that may be made. The
fate which befell 50 many Of the sup
porters of the Mckinley bill in 1890
should not be forgotten.

Politics Ont Of Place.

Political prejudice eats very deep
into the character Of thorough gong
partisan. He not only thinks his OPP
ponent unpatriotIc and capable OF all
sorts of political meanness but ascribe
to them, as whole, moral perversity.
1t is probable that we are to sit
down to this uneharitable estimate Of
the character Of ones opponents the
disposition everywhere to bring ma
tional politics into local government.
When we are able to diyest ourselves
of ideas which are held simply because
they have come down to us and have
been accepted without examination,
we can see that it is absurd to prefer
one man to another for mayor, for ex-
ample, merely because he is a Demo
crat or a Republican.
A city or town or county is
business corporation. II looks after
our roads, it appoints and controls the
police, it governs the schools, it as
sists the efforts of the state in admin.
istering justice Into no one of these
nor any other of the chief objects OF
local government, can politics enter
without inficting harm
There is precisely the same reason,
and no other, why the president, di.
Iectors and employees Of a railroad
company should be men of one party
rather than another, that there is why
the mayor, aldermen and officers Of a
city should be chosen for political
reasons.
The things to be done are purely
matters Of business in both cases; and
it is important for the corporation,
that is for the people of city, that
their work shall be done by the best
available men, in the best way, with
the less fuss and favoritism, and with
the least waste of money raised by
taxation.
We all know how the political sys-
tenn works. One party governs the
city. The caucus governs the party.
The men who make politics trade
control the caucus. When the cleo
ton is over, it is found that this man
wants this Office and the other that:
and those who have been placed in
power by the ofIlce-seekers give them
what they want; not because they are
the best men for the places, but be-
cause they have worked for the party.
Presently the other party is success
ful and all the city officers are turned
out, because they were not on the
winning side, and other men, no bet
ter in any respect, are put in their
places. Whereas the honesty and ca
pacitY Of the officer should be the first
consideration, they are not considered
at all when he is on the wrong side.
There is no spectacle more humila-
ting to an American than that of our
great cities, almost every one of which
is governed by men whom we would
not invite to our houses, men whom
we would not trust out Of sight with
our purses, whose morals, and whose
manners are equally low.-Youths
Companion.

Specimen of Senatorial Courtesy.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The finest il
lusrration of senatorial courtesy this
congress has furnished is seen in the
adverse report on and rejection of G..
D. Browne, who was nominated by Mr..
Cleveland to be Collector of Customs
for Montana and Idaho. 1t was hung
up in the Senate until a few days ago
and then rejected. When il became
necessary to count noses on the con-
frmation of Hornblower and Peck
ham Mr. Power kindly rushed into
the breach and rendered valuable ser
vice to the New York Senators, who
sought to maintain their dignity, and,
at the same time rap the administra-
ton. As a matter of course there was
certain understanding between all
parties concerned that favor should
be refrigerated when a dire extremity
might arise. Well, so far as Senator
Power Is concerned this crucial time
came with the nomination Of Browne.
Although a Republican, the Senator
from Montana succeeded in holding
up the nomination for over year and
when action was taken Browne was re-
iected.
