GoTUANs WORST GAME.

NEW YORK, June l5.-Ten thousand
persons saw the New lorks play their
worst game OF the season to-day. They
piled up error after error OF the most
ludicrous nature. and were dummies at
the bat. Boswells pitching was very
amateurish. He gave twelve bases on
balls and two Wild pitches. and fielded
his position very poorly. New forks only
runs were scored in the sixth inning
when with a man on base Stafford hit
for home run. The weather was per

IRRIGATION.

One of the ablest opponents of in
telligent solution of the irrigation
problem for Idaho, so as to put agri-
cultural interests on the most prolita-
BILE and fourishing basis, writes:
The only way in which farming can be
successfully prosecuted in this country is
for the people who till the soil to control
and distribute the water just as long as
one set of people own or control the water
and another set own and cultivate the
soil, there will be such Il degree of lrict ON
as to provoke intense dissatisfaction.
spread general discomfort and retard, il
not wholly check, the progress of devrl-
opment. There may be exceptional con-
dtions under which the commercial water
sA stem operates satisfactorily and success
fully, but it will not do SO in lddh
That fact is settled beyond bubble or
question. The experiments have been
numerous and the experience is uniform.
1t doesn't matter how beautiful and allur-
ing the theory of sale and rental" may
be; il doesn't matter what figures statis-
tics and scientific formula may show the
living, practical, impregnabe fact remains
that the whole commercial system is "A
miserable, hopeless failure As it exists
today its damaging effect op rates both
ways, destroying alike the canal owner
aud the farmer, The one cannot sell
water enough to maintain his works in
operative condition and the other cannot
buy water enough to mature crop with
out inviting bankruptcy and starvation.
The only thing to do is wipe out the whole
system and take up the question irrigation
and solve it in the onlY way in which il
ever was successfully solved. The irri-
CATION district law opens wide the gate.
1t authorizes the people-the farmers and
home builders-and provides IA method
whereby they may reduce irrigation to a
practical and profitable success. The
time has come when il is dangerous To
longer daily with this question On every
hand murmurings aud complaints come
up from the farmers and their common
declarations is that existence under pres
ent conditions is practically mtolerable.

writer every single one of them expressed

These were dependent on the commercial
system. or another twenty. receiving

faction with the country and told OF n

trouble. therefore. is moi in the soil. not in

wisely enacted by the legislature To re-
move that trouble and it is in every n spect

CARLISLE PARALYZED.

1.-The fall in the price of silver was
not due to legislation but to the enor-
nous overproducton. " The above is
verbatim quotation from Carlisle's
Louisville speech and is the alleged
substantial base for all argument
against the use of silver MS money.
In fact, it is the only possible point
on which it can be attacked. In all
other respects its qualities are superior
to any other metal rs circulating
money As to the question of over
production, for the present article we
will say nothing, only that whenever
the attempt has been made to sub
stantiate the charge it has resulted in
dismal failure, and in all cases the
result has been to demonstrate the
reverse, and that more silver was
needed by the woyld Mt large and the
increase would benefit every class of
humanity except the great money
holders, and as this fact is patent it
is time lost to argue it. Now on the
question of legislation This is a
matter that does not require columns
of figures to demonstrate one way or
the other. 1t is simply u matter in
which each can exercise his own com
mon sense, the same as any other
question when called on for Jury
duty. In common law there are two
classes of crimes, termed in legal
parlanee nahum in-se (bad in ITSELF
and nahum prohibitum (crime because
the law prohibits it, not because it is
bad in ITSELF. Grimes of the first
class are easily recognized by all, such
AS treason, murder, etc. and common
civilization condemns them without
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1895-06-27

qualification; but the other class of
crimes, classed as NAHUM prohibitum,
are really crimes created by law. The
criminality consists not in the simple
preparation of the act. but in its
being violation of a positive law
For instance, it is no greater crime to
sell whisky to an Indian than to
Negro or white man, yet the law
declares it a crime in one case aud
not la the other 1t is a crime to
make or issue a piece Of metal in
tended to counterfeit or represent a
government coin, even if the weight
and ineness be identical with regular
standard coins of the country. But
it is no crime to issue medals Of the
same weight and fineness, but stamped
with, some other device. Smuggling
For violation of the revenue laws in
other ways are all crimes, but the
only recognized sin in their commits
sion is the Inconvenience that follows
detection and conviction. Now re-
garding the effect of legislation on
silver. 1t is no doubt safe propo-
sition, and one that will be admitted,
to assume that any legal restriction Of
the use Of any commodity or thing
will reduce its value, and the laws
regarding the use of silver in this and
other countries being unfavorable, the
price has fallen. Previous to this
legislative discrimination Its use and
integrity as money in every conceiv-
able way and for any amount was
never questioned any more than gold
is at present. This being the case,
the only reasonable conclusion is that
adverse laws are responsible for the
changed condition. Now, to follow
the same idea, let us suppose law
was passed to further limit its func.
tons so it would cease to be of any
value as money. People, 10y force of
habit and from necessity, would still
retain it Us a convenient medium OF
exchange, and thus it would still

manifestly false rs to seem absurd
that any people will believe it for
moment To us who can look to the
north and see the hills that surround
the once thriving silver camp of
Mineral, with it's now deserted mines
and idle smelters. its abandoned cab
ms along the gulch that only so lately
were the shelter for hundreds of con
tented and prosperous miners and
their families, the picture of mine
owners rioting in wealth is CHASTITY
sarcasm. Our farmers, too, can look
back only a little while to when the
products Of the rauch were demanded
there and when he drove his wagon
up the gulch loaded and came down
with the proceeds in his pocket An
other straight lie-nO doubt Of its
when he says that the present low
price of silver is not the result of
legislation. He knows it is, and
every man who knows anything
knows it. The propositions are so
perfectly plain that they preclude any
argument. All that Carlisle amounts
to is the value of his official position
and the moral influence it may carry
with it, and if it could only be shown
to the people that he is receiving the
biggest salary ever paid man for
similar services, then his tiades
against common justice would be only
heard, not needed, and in our national
rogues' gallery of Judas Iscariot
types, future arraignment will accord
him high place AS we write this
we can see on the wall Il copy of the
contract with Rothschild IL Co. that
Melted some one over fifteen millions
for handling u S. bonds. How docs
the cost of gold acquired in this
manner compare with the cost of ac-
quiring silver from the mountains

amite? "a liarl Oh, my lord, he s

In estimating the fighting oualit,t

In estimating the fighting qualities
of the Japanese it seems that great
deal is taken for granted, and Just
because they have whipped the Chi
nese they will develop proportionate
ability in war with first-class pow
ers. As a matter of fact, the main
difficulty the Japs had to overcome
was to get near enough to a Chinese
army to kill any of them. Then,
again, the two elements that make
soldiers-courage and patriotism
were entirely lacking in the China
men. When cornered on shipboard
