FOR COAST DEFENCE.

T. IS wise to derive as much profit rs possible
from painful experiences and one recompensc
for present anxiety and possible future complied
tions will appear If Congress shall be induced
by the suggestions Of this controversy to make
a liberal appropriation for coast defence. Very
few persons in this country, we suppose, really
expect war with England or any other nation,
but a multitude OF citizens must have been led
TO reflect upon the dcfencecss condition of our
ports by the events OF the last week. Hitherto
public opinion has never demanded that they
should be made secure with sufficient force 10
compel suitable action by Congress We do not
believe that an Indispensable work will be neg
lected much longer.
The prompt provision Of as much money rs
can be well employed for this purpose during
the coming year and a beginning Of energetic
operations would not arouse any needless ex-
citement or convey any false impression; for
every intelligent person, at home and abroad
would comprehend how long and slow job had
been undertaken. 1t has hitherto secmel I'M
possible to produce general realization OF the
necessity Of the work begun nine years ago. ana

Although the financial uneasness arising from
the warlike and aggressive tone of President
Cleveland's Venezuelan message has extended
even to Vienna where the B0urse yesterday
was in a state of collapse, yet there appears TO
be good reason tc believe that the worst OF
what panic there has been Is over, and that the
Christmas week-the season Of peace and good
will-will bring about not only the recovery OF
the money market. but also the restoration OF
public confidence, as we'll as of friendller senti-
ments between the two great English-speaking
nations Of the world. Both in London and in

Ing feature of the situation is the determination
Of the leading fnanciers and business men on
both sides of the Atlantic to bring about re-

Austria and Hungary have been in times gone

succession thet certain amount of apprehen-
sion naturally prevails in Europe just now in
connection with the semiofiiclally announced
determination Of the Emperor TO bar from the
throne his brother Charles Louis and his
nephew Otto-the latter, presumably. in conse-
quence of his dsreputable character, the former
on account of the open warfare which for years
past he has waged against every measure of re-
form. every act Of progress. liberallty and pop
ular enlightenment achieved by the Governments
Of Austria and Hungary. The question, which
is discussed elsewhere in our columns Of today
by "Ex-Attache," has been a subject Of court
and club gossip for several years past in Eu

Of Crown Prince Rudolph. But the serious con-
dltion Of Archduke Otto's elder brother, who Is
dying Of pulmonary troubles, seems TO have
brought the matter to a crisis, and according TO

week. II is being discussed in the Imperial Par
Lament and in the official press.

Public interest in Europe as well as in America
has been SO completely absorbed during last
week by the Venezuelan question that the Sultan
has been permitted to drop out Of sight, and no
one seems TO have paid much attention to the
remarkable announcement which has Just been
officially made to the foreign Ambassadors at
Constantinople by the Sublime Porte. 1t is to
the effect that, owing TO the obstlnacy OF the
Armenians who have sought refuge at Zetoun in
refusing TO surrender the town to the Turkish
troops, It's bambardment will be begun at once.
And although the place is declared TO be entire

The II. II. Employees Picnic at Occur d.
Alene a Success.
The picnic held at Occur d'Alene,
last Saturday was highly enjoyed by
al present. The excursion train from
Sprague steamed into the city at 9:45
A. NJ, with eleven coaches comfort
ably filed.
Twenty minutes later the regular
Occur d'Alene branch accommodation
came in with little standing room in
the passenger coaches.
There had been light shower the
night before, which had settled the
dust and cooled off the air, and added
to the general beauty of nature for a
few hours though it became quite
warm during the afternoon.
There were several excursions out
onto the lake, and skiffs were darting
hither and thither all day. The lake
was perfectly calm and as usual grand
to look upon.
There was dancing in the pavilion
on the lake front all the afternoon,
with music furnished by the popular
Fort Sherman band.
Out at the fort everyone was enjoy
ing himself watching the foot races
by the little girls, little boys, and
young men; also bicycle race, and
foot ball. base ball, ETC., -interspersed
with music by the Sprague band.
Excellent refreshments were served at
the various restaurants and first-class
meals at the hotels, while many
brought luncheon with them and ate
picnic fashion on the green sward of
Uncle Sans domains.
The bath house was an especial at
traction during the warm afternoon;
also the photograph gallery of Mr..

tention from the young people.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The taxation of lands covered by
the Northern Pacific railroad land
grant is matter which is receiving
the consideration of courts in several
states at the present time.
In this county the delinquent taxes
on the railroad land grant amounts to
something over twenty-seven hundred
dollars.
AS the supreme court OF the United
States in the Tyler case, reported in
Vol. l49, United States Supreme
Court Reports, LAID down the rule
that property in the hands of receiv-
ers could not be sold for taxes. the
court holding that in such cases the
tax-colector must apply to the court
which appointed the receivers for an
order directing the receivers to pay
the taxes, our assessor and tax COL
lectOr could not collect the taxes by
levy upon and sale Of railroad lands.
Accordingly Chas. L. Hoffman of
this city, in behalf of Assessor J. p.
Quarles. prepared petition stating
the facts, and forwarded it to Judge
Beatty of the United States court,
asking for an order directing the re-
ceivers of the N. P: r. R. to pay the
delinQent taxes.
Judge Beatty replied in the follow
ing letter, which explains itself:
BOISE CITY, Idaho. July 25, 1s95.-Chas. l..
Hoffman, Rathdrum, Idaho.-Dear Sir: l

cent act of congress providing for the CLASH
fcation of the N. p r. r. grant lands that
any land named in the act can be taxed
until after the classifcatiOns are made and
approved. Judge Knowles granted tenn
porary restraining order against a tax-col-
lectOr in Montana, and on hearing before me
while holding court there l continued the
order. That 1 suppose will be made test

none of the lands in the odd sections can bt
taxed. My opinion will be published in the
Federal Reporter-it has been sent to thu
publishers You can there see my reason fol
my conclusions.
There is nothing the tax-collector can dt
but wait until the law shall be finally de-
claret by the supreme court. Yours truly.

States sustains Judges Knowles an(
Beatty in their views of the law
there will be for years large sums O
taxes levied upon this railroad lane
grant in many states, which canno
be collected, and which may never b,
paid. On the other hand, if the su

Supt. Melder has frequently been
asked by parties holding normal school
diplomas and certificates from other
states, to grant them permits to teach
in this county. Some time ago ne
wrote to State Supt Foresman, asking
his opinion on the matter, and he
holds that under the law of this
state county superintendent have no
power to grant permits, except in
cases where the applicant could not
possibly attend the preceding exami-
nation. and the fact that the appli-
can't holds a diploma is not to be con-
sidered.

per cent. provided for in case of de-
