When American football can so
kick as to kick itself into the good
graces of President Diaz, and secure
his presiding at football contest in
his own capital, then there is some
thing to the American leg that rivals
the American cheek. Only this is
certain, by this move the engineer of
those games on the gridiron, has Sc
cured the attendance of the wealth,
beauty, social leaders and all that
is desirable in the Mexican capital.
1t beats the bull fight as three of a
kind beats two pair.

Cooper was not sentenced to join
Burt in the near subsequently. Those
jurors who convicted him, to imme-
diately join in petition for his par
don were set of daisies In their
Judgment he was either guilty or in
nocenA If innocent they should have
so declared him. If guilty they had
no right to petition for his pardon.
There is something utterly namby
PANTY in that course, and it is not
straightforward Cooper was tried
for brutal murder If he commit
ted it he should hang, that is if hang
ing is the penalty, If he did not COM
NIT it he should be acquitted of any
infraction of the law. There is no
room for any red tape business. Fool
ing with the life of a man on trial
for murder in that way, strikes the
average citizen as unquestionably
wrong, something to be condemned.
He could not have been sentenced to
two years to the pen for committing
murder, such as he was charged with
A review of the whole proceedings
by some competent authority would
be in order.

EXPERT SAFE ROBBERY.

Omaha; Neb., Dec. 2.-Expert cracks
men blew the big safe open in the
jewelry store of III. Hirschberg this
morning and got away with $1,000 in
diamonds and cash. The mutilated
vault was discovered this morning.
Not cent was left in the strong box.
The work was done in the most syste-
matte manner and the report of the
exploding dynamite was not heard.
The place is located in the heart of
the business district of the city.

UNCLE SANS DISGRACE.

No such misery, no such heartren-
ding scenes of rapine, lust and cru
city, no such pillage and arson as fol-
lows upon the heels of Weyler's pro-
clamation, has been witnessed during
the latter half of this country. Fail
ing all efforts to dislodge Maceo, he
has commenced war of extermina-
ton against the inhabitants of the
provinces occupied by Maceo and his
armies. Whole families of women
and children are driven out shelter
less, their food confiscated or burned
and all their household effects as well
as their houses given to the torch The
treatment that these unprotected wo-
men and growing girls receive from
the Spanish soldier may well be left
to the Imagination, for they beggar de-
scription. There is nothing to restrain
their lust, nothing to cool their cupid
ity, nothing to check their ferocity,
nothing to mitigate their brutality,
They are let loose by Weyler's order
to exercise their unbridled license up
on the inhabitants of three provinces
while the United States looks on with
calm equanimity, prays piously and
fervently, her president leading the
devotional exercises, and declares that
it is no business of hers. No business
of hers! and hell let loose upon the
innocent woman and girls and little
children Of neighboring island. Mon
ey, the possible money loss to this
country cannot be long permitted to
stand in the way of such interposi-
ton by this government as will make
such brutalities in Cuba thing of the
past. If Weyler is determined to del
uge Cuba with the blood Of the chill
dren of the soil, because the patriot
ism of her people is barrier that the
armies of Spain cannot override, shall |
this country accept the verdict of
such. damnable barbarity without pro-
test Patrick Henry would say-For-
bit it Heaven! What will Cleveland
say Nothing yet. Will he ever say
Who knows! All that is
known is that Weyler is such a
scourge to Cuba as old Attilla, the
Goth, was to Europe, and that it is
rank and gross, for the peo-
pie of this country to sit down and
fold their hands and say their prayers
and let such a condition of things |
continue. If intervention to prevent |
such cruelties involves this country |
in war with Spain it will be an hon
orable war, for it will be war Of hui
manity in its protest against the most |
inhuman cruelty that the half ccntu
ry has seen perpetrated by any So
called civilized government, Fortu-
nately the days of the present admin,
istration fly quickly and will soon |
come to perpetual end. Under the |
shadow of the walls of Christian |
Princeton the president defunct can
then sit down and piously give thanks
that he is not as other presidents are.

aoMr EXCLAMATION.

There are some things in connection
with the vote OF Senators Teller, Du-
bois, Mantle, Carter and Cannon on the
DlngIey bin which are not generally
understood. The Dingley bin was re
ported from the house to the senate on
December 9th. Its principal purpose
was TO afford sufficient revenue to
maintain government, but, at the same
time, IL was constructed along protec.
tive lines, designed to give about go
per cent Of the protection carried by
the Mckinley law. When the Dingley
billTeached the Senate, it was immedi
ately referred to the finance committee,
whose chairman, Mr.. Merrill, on Feb
rurary reported it back to the senate
with amendments The amendments
utterly destoyed the revenue and pro
tectiye features Of the bill and made 1t
q straight free coinage bill, exactly the
same, word for word, as the silver
amendments to the bonding bill which
passed the senate some time before and
was killed Ia the house by 100 majority
The Dingley bill, consideration of
which was voted against by all the
Democrats, Populists, and FIVE alleged
silver Republicans, was clean cut free
coinage measure. Proof of this may
be had by reference to the Congress
sional Record of February the 4th.
After the Dinghy bill was reported
from the house, 1t never again appear.
ed as revenue protective measure.
The senate committee took every par
ticle OF revenue and protection out Of
it and filled it chuck full Of free silver.
The only excuse the five silver Repub-
licans can make for voting against
consideration of the amended Dingley
bill is that Republican senators would
have offered further amendments re-
storing the Eayenue and protective
features. But in view of the fact that
these five silver Republicans, aided by
Democrats and popuhsts, could have
defeated such amendments that excuse
falls to the ground. The fact of the
IN liter is that while these great cham
plons Of free coinage voted indirectly
against a revenue protective measure
they voted directly against free coinage.
Any one who will take the trouble to
refer to the Congressional Record can
satisfy himself on that point.-Malad

Hon. r. A. Cowden was over from
Caldwell last Sunday on business con
neeted with the proposed enlargement
Of the Central Lumber Cos mills al
this place. II win be necessary to Sc
cure much larger storage ground for
logs than the company now control,
and it is understood that Mr.. CoWden
was here to determine whether suitable
grounds can be secured. The ground
chat the company win need for this
purpose is owned by Park Wardwell
and j. NJ. Martin and the saw mill peo-
pie will probably experience no diff.
Guilty in dealing with these gentlemen
TO a representative OF the Indeg Mr.
GoWden stated that he expects 20 start
for Omaha on the goth of this month
to meet the eastern parties who are in
terested in the enterprise and that on
the trip west they will stop off in all the
important towns, including Denver,
Salt Lake and Ogden, to fully inYesti-
gate the lumber market of those places
and to see what chance they will have
for supplying those points with the
product of the Emmett mills. Upon
their arrival in Idaho the party will
proceed at once to the mountains to
look over the supply of timber which is
available. and IL the fasteners are sat
isied with the supply OF timber in the
mountains as well as with the demand
for lumber in the towns east of us the
deal Will be closed at once. A force of
men viii be put at work on the new
mill aud a crew of timbermen will be
sent into the mountains to cut logs for
the next seasons run. The company
will give steady employment to from
100 to $50 men and it is easy to see that
in the event Of the proposition going
through it means everything for EN-
NETT. The monthly pay roll will
amount to more than that of all the
other towns of Canyon county com
bined ond it will not be long until EN-.
mett win be recognized as the chief
town Of the county.
An important feature of the PROPOSE.
ton is that If the numbering project is
a go the railroad problem will be speed

BILE to handle the output of the mills

divulged. The enterprise means much

MINER LOST.
James Campbell Supposed 10 Have Been
Frozen to Death.

James Campbell, a miner who has
been engaged for several months in the
Comora mine, is supposed to have froz.
en- to death in Saturday nights storm
while on his way back from Albion to
the mine. He came to town Saturday
forenoon and was around town with
friends for several hours and was
drinking quite freely as was his custom
when he came to town, Tut was not
supposed to. be very drunk when lie
started for the mine about 8 clock or
little later. lie borrowed a horse
of MIR. Brim to ride to town, and when
he started back ne had a shovel, sack
and a bottle of alcohol He arrived at
Mr.. Brim's about 5 o'clock on his re.
turn to the mountains and has not been
seen or heard of since. The horse came
home during the night some time.
Tuesday morning it being learned that
he had not been to the mine, number
of the people living near the mountains
went up into the mountains to search
for him, but all they could find was his
tracks going toward the mine. On
Wednesday a crowd went out from
town to search for the lost man, but the
result was fruitless as all that was
found was his tracks and the mark of
the shovel where he had used it as q
support in going through the deep
snow. The supposition is that he be-
came exhausted and lay down, aud as
1t was bitter cold in the mountains,
froze to death and the snow has drifted
and covered him up.-AlbIon Times.
