Work on that sewer contract was
rushed at the commencement at
the demand Of the citizens, but it
now looks as though it might have
been well to have made haste
more slowly, giving the contractor
time to arrange for the making of
the necessary pipe and brick at
this point before commencing con-
structiOn. 1t is certain that the
material could not be furnished by
the home people without some de-
lay and it would have been better
to have provided for that in the
beginning than to lay up now for a
series Of weeks in order to secure
the materials for construction
This, however, can by borne with,
the main thing being to see that
the work is done in first class man.

There is no disposition on the
part of any one in San Antonio,
outside Of the professional agita-
tors, to interfere with the work of
the sewers unnecessarily, but there
is a strong sentiment in favor of a
close and competent examination
Of every rod of excavation and pipe
laying done by the contractor. This

to accomplish and it will not be a
healthy business for them to be
convicted in the public mind Of
neglecting this work in any par

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May S.
Senator Collum, Of Illinois, in an
interview in this city was asked:
"Do you think the esta blishment
OF bi-metallism will restore con-
fidence and produce good times?"
awhile | believe in bimetallism
and parity Of volume, both Of gold
and silver, giving to both metals
equal chances and equal privileges
in the money market, l am not so
sanguine as to believe that the
United States alone can, by simply
a decree, produce the desired result.
We ought to have an international
agreement which shall establish
proper relations as to metallic
currency, then a distinction as
to currency legislation which
now exists will become more
OF cobweb. The country is wor-
ried by theories Of Charlatons. who
offer unfailing remedies for every
i'll, ignoring the teachings Of ex-
perience. The Ultra silver theories
and Ultra gold theorist are alike
impatient of each other and alike
opposed to any middle ground, but
there is always safety in moderate
and we'll considered action. Much
as we may wish to give silver its
equal and proper place as money
metal we must look to existing
conditions where they demand it
at our hands. The duty Of a states
man is to look after and care for
the cases OF the entire country. He
must sacrifice no interests for the
benefit Of any other interest"

Will the Boise Statesman, four or FIVE
years from now, be able to adapt the
above lines or something of similar
purport to an editorial? Surrounding
Boise is country richer in mines snd
quite equal in both timber aud agricul-
lural resources to that surrounding Spo-
kane. The only natural advantage
Spokane can claim superior to Boise is
the concentration of her water power at
one point. The water powers at and
surrounding Boise, may be made quite
as available. Boise was quite town
when Spokane was first brought into
existance. Spokane has now a popul-
alton of 10000, or about elk times that
of Boise. Railroads have made Spo-
kane. Railroads would make Boise.

city's greatness if they have.

The owyhee Railroad.

The Boise Railroad committee, after a
long delay, seems to have gotten down
to practical work in very good shape
and is now able to present facts and fig
ures in form which ought to make a
showing to investors and make the
scheme of building road into th Owy-
hee mining camps almost assured, pro-
vided the people at both ends of the
line who will be benefited by it's con-
struction will only make the proper
start at the work. Capital will come if
the people here will only first show
that they are willing to put in their own
money. The thing the committee
should do next is to convince the prop
erty owners in Boise what this ROAD
means to them in the way of giving
that city boost out of the provincial
rut in which it is now founderiDg and
to show them that if they expect
prosperous future they must set the ma
chinery going themselves, to bring or
hasten the time when the era of pros
perity will begin. The mine owners
and business men at this end of the
proposed road are anxious to see road
built which will give them an outlet for
their products and cheaper fuel, tim
bers, machinery. and supplies and are
waiting ready to encourage any prac-
ticable scheme for getting q road in
here, but they are divided in their
opinions as to which is the most prac-
tica6le scheme apd will probably wait
to see which one is the more assured
before they come to the front in an eff
fort to aid any ofthem. They find that
with the increasing prosperity of the
csmps here, a road is bound to be built,
sooner or later and they are only wait
ing to see where it is coming from to
give it their aid and encouragement.
