by the house, not because of any
open opposition to the bill in the
senate, but because of lack of
time. Besides, the senate has
another arbitration bill, which
has been favorably reported
from the Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor. 1t was intro
duced by Senator Perkins, and
provides for the creation of an
arbitration commission of 81 per-
sons, to settle all disputes be-
tween labor and capital. The
report accompanying this bill es-
Inmates that the loss by strikes
in this country during the six
years just passed has been 800,
$50, $50. A new bill has just
been introduced by Representa-
tive McEttrick, of Mass, max
ing employers engaged in inter
state and foreign commerce liza
bic for injuries received by their
employees while on duty. If ask
ed to guess what would come OF
these measures there is not an
intelligent man in congress who
would not make the same reply
nothing.
1t is on the program for feint
to be made of trying to get vote
in the senate on the bills admit
ting Arizona and New Mexico
but it is perfectly well under
stood that neither will be acted
upon. Utah was fortunate. L
she had not been admitted at tht
last she would not be at thil
session. N.

On the 18th of February In the
lower house of the Idaho legis-
lature, the Republicans voted
down a resolution introduced by
Mccarthy, the Populist repre-
sentative from Custer county,
asking congress for the free
coinage of silver, supplemented
by sufficient paper money to re-
store prices to basis of profit.
The Populists voted for the reso-
luton and were supported by six
Republicans and one Democrat;
but it was downed by pure ma
jority of Republicans. This of
course, is not surprising. While
perhaps majority of the rank
and file of the Republicans favor
free coinage of silver at a ratio
of Is to 1, the leaders do not,
There are, we believe, very few
men connected with national
banks who favor silver coinage
again at the old ratio. National
bank people are natural gold
bugs. They are bound together
by a common sympathy and the
majority of Republican legisla-
tors of Idaho are not removed
many generations from consan-
guineous relations with the
moneyed power. The action of
the Republican majority in the
Legislature must be accepted to
mean s.no friendship for free
coinage. Murray Sun.

NewS from Boise.

Our readers are interested in
news from Boise, and this inter
est will be particularly lively
during the session of the legisla
ture this winter. At the very
beginning of the session the con-
test between Hon. Willis Sweet
and Hon. George L. Shoup for
the senatorship will attract at
tention throughout the entire
state. After that shall have
been settled, many matters of
the highest Importance to the
people will come before the legis-
lature.
Those who desire to have full
reports of all these matters will
find the Boise STATESMAN most
valuable, as it is the only paper
so situated that it can give ex-
tended reports OF all the doings
of the legislature. For 81, the
SEnI- WEEKLY STATESMAN can
be secured for 6 months, or the
DAILY can be had for three
months for $3.50,

chaIIIs school of Mines.

At the opening of the after
noon session of the house on Feb.
20, McCal tn s Challis school of
m. mes bill was taken up and fav-
orably acted on.
The bill had smooth sailing
until the section locating the
school at C.lalis was reached,
when Crane, of Kootenai, sent
up an amendment substituting
Occur d'Alene City for CLallis;
lost, 6 to Is.
Hughes, of Shoshone, offered
an amendment to substitute Os
born.
Walker, of Fremont, offered
an amendment to the amendment
substituting Boise; lost.
Hughes and NELL strongly ad-
vocated placing the school at
Osborn, dwelling upon the adj
vantages of that place for such
an institution.
Mccarthy respond d with
counter claims for C'lallis.
Henry, of Kootenai, was OPP
posed to locating tie school at
either place named. The state
university had mining depart
ment, which fully met all the re-
quirements. He urged that
branch of the university should
not be disturbed.
Hughes amendment to locate
the school It Osborn was lost,
the four Shoshone members
alone voting for it.
BY viva voce vote the sec
ton establishing the school a
Challis was adopted.
When the section authorizing
a bond issue of $4,000 for the
school was reached, Gamble, O.
Latah, entered a vigorous pro
test against placing further bur
dens upon the people.
Mccarthy sail the sum would
only be a loan, and that thu
state would be fully reimbursed
from the roceeds of the sale o
! land granted by munificent gov
eminent for the benefit of tn
school.
By vote of II to IL the sec
: ton was adopted.
The remaining sections of tn
bill we're adopted without objec
. ton, and passage of the bill rec
! commended, II to II.
This bill should pass and be
: come law. If such a school i
= established in the state, and
a should be, to further advance on
d. great mining industries, Clalli

George W. Mcbride has been
chosen in Oregon to succeed
Dolph. He is Al years of age
and is a native son of Oregon,
and has served in the state legis-
lature and held the Office of Sec
Rotary of state for eight years.
On the silver question he is un-
committed. AS he was placed in
nomination by Dolph man, it
would indicate that he was a

Senator Hanrahan's bill to an
mex portion of Alturas county
to Custer county should not pass
unless amended. If we under
stand the boundary lines of the
bill correctly, a valuable portion
of Custer county is left out, viz ::
Seafoam and Sheep Mountain
mining district. Mr.. Hanrahan
has evidently followed the old
boundary lines in the west end
of our county, instead Of the new
lines which annexed that district.
This mistake should be correct
ed before the bill comes to avote
because we cannot well afford to
lose that district.

eff the senator had stood at
one end of a cable, as the secre-
tary of the treasury stood, and
had for days solicited all the
great money centers of the world
for their terms on our bonds, he
would not make such a state
ment." These are the words of
Villas, the venal servitor of our
imoecile administration, in re
ply to a true charge that our
bonds had been truckled off to a
favored clique for less than they
were worth. Such a statement
in the senate of the United Stat
es would indicate that the bottom
of infamy had been reached.

mediator between the silver men
and anti-silver men in the senate,
but he stated a truth which is
patent to all men when he said
that on general financial ques-
tions congress was further apart
now than it was six months ago,
and to prove his assertion cited
the proposition 10 issue gold
bonds, which although twice de-
feated in the house is still upheld
in the senate by d few n en-, on
the one hand and the bill for the
unlimited coinage of silve4', fav-
orably reported from the senate
finance committee, on the other
No proof was needed. The div
ision is apparent to all the world.
1t was proposed last week that
the senate should this week | ass
the bill for the unlimite / coin
age of silver, its opponents hav-
ing partially agreed to allow a
vote to be taken, after a day or
two of speech making, Tut moth
ing is now certain except the
speech making, certain senators
with presidential aspirations be-
ing dubious about allowing a
vote to be reached.
There IS still a great deal of
feeling in congress against the
administration ON account of the
manner in which those bonds
were scll, and there is more or
less mysterious talk about some
thing that may be done 10 pre-
vent the delivery Of the bonds,
but Il ere is no reason to believe
that anything can be done now.
1t is hard bargin, but it is legal.
Longing eyes are being cast
towards the very comfortable
vacancy LEFT by the cath of Hon.
Isaac P. Gray, U. S. Minister to
Mexico, by a number of gentle
men who will retire from the
senate and house after the 4th of
next month. 1t isn't considered
a desirable mission, Tut the SIT,
500 year attached 10 it must
appear very desirable to those
who are about to have their
names erased from the public
payroll. If the senate were on
better terms with President
Cleveland, Senator Ransom
would stand a good chance tc
catch the plum as he has been
endorsed by nearly the entire
senate.
Senator Hill had fn amend
ment tackled on the joint reso
} luton, extending from March
to April Is the time for making
returns under the income ta1
law, which may defeat the reso
luton if the senate insists upoI
the Hill amendment. According
to Cen missioner Miller of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, sons
OF the questions which Officials
are forbidden by the Hill amend
ment to ask are absolutely es
sential, and he has appealed tt
members of the house to eithe

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. ls-The neces-

by special message from the gov

Special stress was laid upon the
many horrors OF the county chain
gangs, where the misdemeanor con-
victs receive punishment infinitely
worse than that accorded TO the Grim
inals convicted OF graver offcnses that
send them to the penitentiary.
On his own motion Gov Atkinson
sent an expert through the state to Sc
cure the facts about these county sys-
TENS, and 1t is his report which Is now
submitted. He is ex.Prineipal Keeper
Wright Mr.. Wright has visited thir-
ty-three chain gangs In twenty-three
counties.
The average sentence was nine
months, and the average days work
ten hours. He found that the whites
and blacks, while not chained to
gether, were worked together, and
there was no provision in most cases
for separating the sexes, either al
work or in sleeping quarters.
lie found women wearing mems
clothing and doing mems work, ths
parties In charge saying that this mode
Of dress was less in their way, and, be
sides, II seemed TO be the tendency o
the new women. The sleeping quar-
ters were sweat boxes In summer, will
no arrangements for ventilation or san
itation, and in winter there was nj
provision for fire. There was no ar
rangemcnt for bathing, no change 0
clothing, and the places Of confinement
were infested with vermin.

tendent boasted that his gang Of twen
ty-five had not had the attendance Of

months Generally the food OF con
victs consisted OF corn bread and fric
bacon, and that was supplied in insu
