TO De SETTLED.

The County Commissioners APP
pear to have determined to appeal
from the decision of the district
court in the matter of employing
a deputy for the sheriff. With
out at this time entering upon any
discussion of the merits of the
subject, or expressing any opin-
ion in respect thereto, which, as
our views are so we'll known,
would be entirely unnecessary,
we believe that it will be conced-
ed on all hands that the commits
sioners have adopted a wise
course, The question involved
Is one Of great importance to the
officer concerned as we'll as the
taxpayers of the county and it
should be settled. We believe,
Sheriff Campbell took the case
into court in order that settle
ment might be effected and it
would not serve his purpose to
have it remain even in its present
condition. Mr.. Campbell, we
believe, views his right to have a
deputy employed at public .ex-
pense as a proposition of law,
and takes the ground that if the
law entities him to a deputy, he
oughttph5ye one. He believes
he issS6Septitled; the commission
ers think not, There is only one
way to settle the controversy, that
Is by submitting the matter to the
supreme court. There it will be
Settled for all time, and we con-
graduate all sides on the prospects
of a speedy settlement.

UTAH SENATORS.

THE TRIBUNE did not last week
express its regret that Judge
Goodwin had not been selected
to represent Utah in the United
States Senate, because, to speak
candidly, Utonians are as a rule
a religious people and we cher
ished the hope that heaven would
reward their piety by sending
down a bolt of light that would
smash the caucus action to smith
Greens. But the ways of heaven
are inscrutable, and for the great
er good of humanity frequently
erdains what would seem TO be a
great sacrifice. At present our
mortal vision sees only the injus-
tice that has been done a good
man and a great state; at future
time we may discover beneath it
all a wise and benefcent dispen-
sation. At any rate, we know
that Judge Goodwin will, in his
present place, continue to WELD a
mighty influence for good, but
we don't know what harm might
follow should some one less able
or less honest succeed him. 1t is
possible that congratulations are
as much in order as regrets. We
know but very little about Mr..
Arthur Brown, senator elect, but
sincerely hope he may prove to
be an able and conscientious rep
resentative. Of Frank Cannon,
nothing need be said. His fame
has gone abroad over the land,
his works compose a worthy
monument. He is native Utah
product, bright as a silver dollar,
and has the genuine r6 to I ring.

local jealousy that flames up on
slight provocation sometimes; and
had it been called the Boise Min
ing Exchange, that jealousy
might have been ignited and done
considerable damage. AS it is,
the most tender sensibiIities can
not pretend to be offended. We
believe that the outside towns in
this vicinity will all be able to un-
derstand clearly that the organiza-
ton will rebound as much to their
benefit as anybody's and that
presently they will give it active,
substantial support. At all
events, we sincerely hope such
will be the case.

IDAHO MINING EXCHANGE.

The TRIBUNE feels that the
men Of Boise who have so ener-
getically pushed and successfully
accomplished the organization of
the Idaho Mining Exchange are
deserving a word of encourage
ment and warm endorsement.
The movement is in the right di-
rection, and a world of good will
flow from its operation, provided
1t be conducted on right lines,
which is amply assured by the
sterling character of the direc-
tory. Every member of the
board is known to be substantial,
honorable man, with broad ideas.

faith in the grand possibilities of

DISTINCTION IF NOT DIFFER
ENCE.

We were highly gratifed the
other day to find the Boise States
ma" strenuously defending the
eastern gold bug press against
the gross suggestion of Mr..
Earle, member of the Populist
National Committee. Mr.. Earle
minated that with $500, 900 he
could buy up the principal gold
bug organs, and the Statesman
resents the imputation with a spirit
that does credit to its knowledge
of the financial value and moral
sensibihties of the monometallic
press. Mr.. Earle has either will
fully or ignorantly underestimated
the price placed upon their virtue
by gold bug papers, and it is no
wonder that the figure shocked
the Statrsman's sense of proper
tons. Why, half a million dol
lars would scarcely give the great
organs twenty-five hundred dol
lars each. Besides, Mr.. Earle
employs the language of the mar
ket place. The press can not
be bought like cabagge head or
a sausage, and a gentleman of
Mr.. Earle experience and cult
ure ought to knowit. The press
resents with indignant scorn the
imputation that it is in the slight
est degree meretricious, but it is
not wholly insensible to the gen
teel influences of subsidy. The
press demands to be treated as a
sovereign power, not chattels. |
Its favor and cooperation may |
be secured for a consideration, |
but the consideration must be ad-
equate and the negotiations must
be conducted on formal and ele-
giant plans. We cannot DENY

great industrial unions, not yet

to iuaugurate a universal strike
for the same purpose was reject
ed. The event will be watched

The former is decorous coopera-
ton actuated and cemented by
reciprocal benefits; the latter bar

cry, A wide distinction as you
will, no doubt, readily observe.
Possibly, Mr., Earle, and perad-
venture others, has mistaken the
fervent illusions of the silver press
to the subsidized gold bug organs
as conveying hint of moral OBJ
liquity, Indeed, it would be
quite natural to fall into that kind
of an error; and it may be some
thing of a surprise to those unac :
customed to Analysing, and inca
pable of approaching, the finer
shades of meaning to be appraised
that "suhsidized'' in connection
with the gold bug press is a term
of encomium rather than an ex-
preston of reproach. Possibly,
too, Mr.. Earle was just fresh
from reading the "Reminiscences of

Forum, wherein that icOnoclastic
individual is pleased to say: 81

That editor S experience was con-
fined to the great cities of N. Y,
Philadelphia, Washington and
Boston, the very hotbeds of gold
buggism, wherein all the great
dailies are rampant goldbugs. 1t
is not astonishing, then, that Mr..
Earle thought he could buy them
up for $500, 900 in view of the
moral sensibilities ascribed to
them by one of their most exper-
fenced editors. But Mr.. Earle
was wrong, positively in error.
He couldn't buy them, but he
might, if so disposed, touch them
with a subsidy.

METHODS OF sKINNINo THE
DAT.

CATs
Major Handy, who is supposed
to know about as much of the i'll
side workings of public life at
Washington as any man living,
recently wrote a letter to the New
York Mail and Express in which
he exposes the methods of ex-de-
partment officials of all grades,
ex-representatives and ex-sena :
tors and some representatives and
senators who have not been
obliged to bless their country by
adding ex to their titles. If what
the major says is true, and there
is no reason to doubt it, there are
some pretty tough servants in the
public employment. One of the
things he mentions, which ought
to arouse the whole country, is
the fact that many representatives
and senators are the regularly
employed and salaried attorneys
of trusts and corporations whose
professional service consists in
opposing or advancing Legislative
measures as happens to suit the
interest of their clients. There
does not appear to be any attempt
to conceal the relations existing
between those So called attorneys
and their clients, on the other
hand, the facts are notorious, and
the system is growing in favor.
In fact it is considered as quite
proper to designate Senator Grab,
of New York, counsellor to the
Great American Sugar Trust; or
Hon. Flip, of Pennsylvania, le-
gal adviser of the Standard Oil
company, etc. etc. We are not
so much surprised that men in
high office should engage in
such public traffic as that the
people can have their eyes OPEN
ed to it all without the slightest
perturbation. Consideration of
this subject calls to mind that our
own state legislature has been in
tested by a few pretty active
practitioners who would be hor-
rified at the suggestion of a bride,
but were always open to employ
ment as special attorneys for a
reasonable compensation. The
funny thing about it all is that
these frugal gentlemen appear to
think such conduct not only Iegit-
innate, but commendable to a de-
gree. 1t enables them to help a
weak or failing cause without, in
the least, compromising their
public integrity or wounding their
conscience; and mere than that,
most people think it, at worst, a
happy continuance for turning an
honest penny, and laugh heartily
over a particularly successful deal.
But some day, the people will
wake up to the real cussedness of
the system and there will be such
a lexowing among Legislative bod
les from top to bottom as this old
world never saw.
