THE OUTLOOK FOR 'es.

THE TRIBUNE believes that the
coming year will be the most
prosperous experienced in this
section since 1892. Our belief is
not based on national or political
events, but on purely local con-
ditions. There is every prospect
of intense activity in the mining
industry and therefore a vast
amount of the very essence OF
prosperity is likely to be dissem-
mated among the people. From
Silver City to Willow Greek and
from Boise Basin to Snake river
comes the news of active and
productive operations. Every
day some new strike is reported
and in every direction develop
ment work is being vigorously
prosecuted. The attention OF
capital is being gradually but
surely attracted and confidence
and hope is being instilled into
the minds of all classes. People
generally seem to realize that This
country is on the eve of mighty
mining development, and we be-
lieve that the spring of go will
mark the beginning of the great
est gold producing era this state
ever knew. In addition, the
same general conditions seem to
prevail throughout all western
mining sections. Cripple Creek,
Colorado, is yet in its infancy;
Mercur, Utah, just beginning to
be and the vast gold belt of south
western Idaho barely known.
They are all fraught with mighty
promise and boundless possibili-
ties. Next spring they will be-
gin to put forth the precious metal
in a regular and bountiful stream
and then will come that prosperity
which makes life worth the living.
We believe the people of this sec
ton have much occasion for look
ing forward with hope and assur-
ance, The clouds of adversely
are rapidly dissolving and the
light of prosperity begins to rift
the darkness. Ninety Six comes
laden with good cheer and happi-
ness for Idaho.

A BLOW AT ExrRAvAoANoE.

The supreme court has handed
down another decision that sounds
a note of warning to extravaganza
ly disposed officials and proclaims
to the people of Idaho that the in
depreciation of their laws and con-
stitution has been intrusted to
able, Conscientious and broad
guage men. We cannot help
but admire the attitude of the SUI
preme court on constitutional
questions, especially, where the
financial interests-which are
fundamental-of the people are
directly concerned. The case
here referred to is one wherein
the commissioners of Logan
county employed steady counsel
under the provision of the consti-
tuition which says:
The county commissioners may en-
ploy counsel when necessary.
Referring to this the court SAYS
This provision, it is claimed, invests
the commissioners with plenary pow.
ers in the exercise of which they may
%illfully abrogate or ignore any and all
provisions Of the statutes enacted by
the legislature for the economical and
proper conduct of the affairs of the
state and the counties. Under the "di-
vine right of kings" as arrogated by
the house of Stuart, they were not
more lawless and disregardful of the
peoples rights than have been some of
the boards of county commissioners of
this state In the assumption Of what
they claim to be their powers under the
constitution.
The language of the court is
admittedly a trifle florid, but it is
just and it is wholesome. 1t is a
dictum that should be memorized
by every county commissioner in
the state and repeated in concert
by the full board at the opening
OF each session, The court after
reciting that the constitution had
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-01-18

Great Britain has finally landed
herself between the devil and the
deep sea. When Lord Salisbury
wrote that sarcastic message on
the Monroe doctrine, he forgot
that Great Britain had a Monroe
doctrine of her own to support.
She wants to exercise a sort of
suzerainty over all Africa and
proposes to fight anybody that
questions her right; then she pro-
poses to fight any country that
tries to uphold a similar idea any
where else on the globe. Great
Britain is getting largely mud
died and soon the mighty empire
will begin to tumble from the eff
fects of inherent incongruities.

The Malad ENTERPRISE and Pc

The Malad Enterprise and Po-
catello Tribune have set an excel
lent example to the Republican
press of this state. Those two
journals started in to have a reg
ular old fashioned literary scrap,
but suddenly light flashed on
them. 1t simultaneously occur
red to them that they were doing
a most absurd and useless thing,
so like sensible and Christian
newspapers they extended to each
other an olive branch, clipped
from adjacent hills, and concluded
an honorable, and let us hope,
perpetual armiStice.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-01-18

anticipated emergencies where it
might be necessary to employ
counsel, says, emphatically:
Before the authority given to boards
under section 6, article IS of the consti-
tuition can be exercised, the necessity
which authorizes it must not only be
apparent, but the facts creating such
necessity must be made matter of
record by the board
That language conveys a hint
capable Of home application. The
court proceeding says:
Under the necessity clause the
Logan board assumed to incur an in.
idebtedness of S4,142 for legal services
for about three-quarters of-a year,
compensation in excess of that received
by the attorney general and the district
attorney for the same period and for
the performance of the duties which
the law expressly imposes upon said
officers. Surely there should be some
means to stop this reckless, extrava
CANT and illegal disposition of the mon
ey of tax, burdened, financially de-
pressed people. The appellants
claim filed with the board was for
$3642. He had besides received $500
in the year 1893 81, 142 charged to a
county with a voting population of 788
according to the returns of the last
election, little over So per capita for
the voting population of the county for
services which the law had already pro-
vided for and which the taxpayers of
tho county had already paid for.
No higher encomium could be
pronounced on the justices of the
supreme court than their own ut
terances. Their decisions have
been uniformally on broad lines,
and in constituting the constitution
they delve beneath mere verbiage
and seek to arrive at the true
meaning and intent of the men
who made the constitution and
the understanding of the people
when they adopted it, in doing
which they have attained sue
cess that entities them to the con-
fdence and esteem of every fair
and intelligent citizen of the state.
Few men would have discharged
their trust as we'll, none could do
better. Lest there should be any
misunderstanding, it is only just
to say, in this connection that the
commissioners of Canyon county
do not come under the class to
which the the supreme court adj
ministers such a severe rebuke.
They have shown a laudable dis
position to protect the taxpayers
from superficial interpretations of
the constitution, and in the event
of the court ever having occasion
to advert to them, specifically, we
believe they will be the subject of
eulogy rather than denunciation.

Oh, yes; we had nearly for
gotten it. The Weiser Signal
seeks to impugn our sincerity on
account of something we said in a
private chat with the editor of
that eminently conscientious jour
nal. The editor of the SIGNAL is
evidently verdant shoot, or he
would not have violated the pro-
prieties in such a perilous di-
recion. Suppose we were equal

the Signal with insincerity be-
cause of the reasons its editor pri-
vately conveyed to us for oppos-
ing one irrigation enterprise and
advocating another. Whatever
else may be said, we have never

Being disinclined to account for
the immense decrease in the
sheep herds of the United States
by any other means, Secretary
Morton puts forth the brilliant
idea that $35, 900, 900 worth of
sheep were destroyed by sheep
eating dogs. That is simply an
other way of abusing the Cor
man Wilson tariff law.

COLLATERAL COMMENT.

1t would seem that in some
quarters it is sought to create an
impression that Representative
Wilson'S denunciation of Jewish
Americans is an expression of
Dubois politics. We believe that
this is an erroneous idea intended
to discredit Senator Dubois who
is known to have warm friends
and supporters among the Jews.
We are extremely loath to believe
that Senator Dubois endorses the
sentiments expressed by Mr..
Wilson, and apprehend that the
representative himself did not
realize the full import of his utter
ances. The friends and admirers
of both Senator Dubois and Rep
reseniative Wilson could not but
be panied and disappointed if it
transpired that the gentlemen
were employing their high posi-
tons and acknowledged abilities
as vehicles for matchmaking a
class of citizens against whom
nothing particular is charged ex-
cept rare shreWdneSS in trade, a
tireless industry and a direct de
scent from the patriarchs, legis-
lators and prophets of Israel. 1t
is true they were kicked out of
the temple and rejected the Christ,
but how many thousands and
millions of our own generation
who would scorn the imputation
of even collateral Hcbraic line
age, richly deserve the same
treatment and boldly deny the
same Savior! Yet, the Messiah
was circumsized Jew, his moth
er was a Jewess, the original
apostles of Christ were Jews, and
according to the Scriptures the
Jews were from the beginning
the chosen and anointed of the
Most High; and there is the evil
dence of sacred promise that they
shall some day return to their an
cient glory and again enjoy their
rightful heritage. In view of all
this, the devout Christian will
