ABOUT THE MAYOR AND RICE

Our neighbor the Record puts this
question: If the city council allow a
bill and the mayor refuse to sign a
warrant on the treasurer for the
amount thereof, shall the cost Of liti-
CATION arising therefrom be charge
on the municipality or on the mayor?
Possibly that all depends on the final
issue of the case. The city council is
provided with regularly constituted
legal adviser. The claim of John c.
Rice was duly submitted to him for
examination and he returned the bill
endorsed illegal. The city council set
aside the opinion of its duly constitut-
ed adviser and allowed the claim in spite
of strong primG taciG evidence that
it was illegal. The mayor refused
to sign the warrant because in the
judgment of the city's attorney it had
been ordered issued in violation of law.
Now Mr.. Rice resorts to mandamus
proceedings to compel the mayor
to sign the warrant. These pro-
ceedings will probably raise the
question of Mr.. Rice's claim, and If
the courts hold that it is legal claim
the mayor may have to take care of the
cost bill. But, on the other hand, II
the courts sustain the contention'of the
city attorney, it seems to us that the
cost ought be assessed against Mr.. Rice.
This may not be law, but it is clean cut
justice. We forsee how it is possible
that the mayor may lose the case on
technical grounds. The courts may
hold that in such cases the functions
of the mayor are strictly ministerial;
that is to say, that he is obliged to sign
any warrant the city council may be
pleased to order issued. We rather
think, though, the courts will go direct
ly to the merit of the case which in
wolves the legality of Mr.. Rice's claim
We do not agree with our neighbor in
the proposition that what the people of
Caldwell want to know is who shall
pay the cost of litigation growing out
of this affair. What, in our opinion,
the people really want to know is
whether or not Mr.. Rice's claim is a
legal one. We can not see clearly how
the city attorney can escape defending
the mayor, in the case at hand, with,
out stultifying himself. He has pro,
nounced Mr.. Rice's claim illegal. That
was official notice served upon the
mayor and city council that if money
to pay that claim be taken from the
city's funds it will amount to defraud.
ing the taxpayers. At the present mo-
ment it would seem that the mayor has
the best of the case because he is act
ing in accord with official legal advice
while the council is acting directly in
opposition thereto. But whatever the
outcome of this business let us hope
that the world will continue to revolve
on its axis and that in the eternal, i'm.
mutable justice will prevail

THE TRIBUNE, at this moment, has
but one appeal to make to the legis-
latureelect. We pray of them to let
the district irrigation law now Cd our
statutes severely alone. Any attempt
to modify, amend or reconstruct it,
should be frowned down. AS it stands
there is no question of it's validity, but
should it be doctored there is no know
ing what mistakes might be made, en-
failing long and expensive litigation
and, besides retarding the progress of
the country seriously. Please do not
monkey with the Idaho irrigation law.

WE understand there is some disposi
ton to criticise Sheriff Campbell for
PERMITTING the escape of the prisoners
last Sunday. 1t strikes us that the
officer does not deserve censure. The
escaped prisoners were being held for
trial, and it would have been almost in
human to have kept them in close con-
tinement pending a determination of
their guilt or innocence. A jail that
can be perforated in three minutes with
a stick of stovewood is not adapted
to the safe keeping of desperate men.
1t is the first duty of the county to pro,
vide substantial Jail, then the officers
may be held strictly responsible for
escapes. The Jail should be provided
with an inside lining of chilled steel.

May BE sTEUNENBERo.

II is currently rumored that Governor
elect Steunenberg will figure largely in
the Senatorial contest as candidate.
Looking over the whole situation, there
would seem to be substantial grounds
for such rumOr. 1t is clear that Cap
tain Gum has an ambition to become
the recognized leader of Populism in
the state, If Claggett, Cooper OF some
other equally able Populst should be
elected Senator, Capt. Gum would suf
fer eclipse. On the other hand, if
Steunenberg should be elected, that
would make the Populist Lieutenant
Governor, governor and virtually place
the state. administration completely
Under Populist control with Gum in
the popular branch Of congress.
Under such conditions Gum would
unquestionally be the dominating pol
itical personally in the Populist party,
and could leisuerly and in detail kill off
his dangerous rivals. Two years hence
he would stand for re election and in
four years would be the logical candi-
date for Senator Shoup's seat in the
upper house. 1t is therefore not i'm.
probable that Gum and Steunenberg
have a through understanding and will
work together to the end that the one
may become chief of the Populists and
the other United States Senator.

yer propaganda and exhibit to the
world the true character of the men
who have Ostentatiously proclaimed
themselves martyrs to principle. There
is much evidence of internal strife in
the Populist camp and also strong in
dicatiOns that the Democrats are not
enthusiastically urging a consumma-
ton of the fusion contract, and it is
this which gives Senator Dubois hope
and inspiration. The TRIBUNE is not
deeply or directly interested in the issue
of the senatorial contest any more than
we would like to see the state as ably
represented as possible under the cir
cumstance. But If the Populists have
no man among them of sufficient merit
to deserve their united and conscien-
tious support, we shall be content with
an expression of coincidence and urge
them to hasten the election of Senator
Dubois or any other political mounte-
bank whose superiority they are willing
to acknowledge. TO facilitate matters,
the Populists need only resolve them
selves into monkey parrot perform
ance and have hi of time.

ACCORDING to the New York Sun
the greatest danger that menaces this
country is the too rapid assimilation of
American bora, Revolutionary stock
citizens. The Sun adduces statistics
proving that reputation and anarchy
are peculiarly American character
istics. This knocks out the argument
against unrestricted immigration.
What the country needs is a strong in
fusion of foreign scum, according to
the Sun.

THE infamy of the money power is

wheat was so cheap that farmers
were obliged to feed it to their hogs.
Now it is so dear that they are obliged

Peck & Bishops Absconding Clerk,
 Henry T. Clarke, Arrested in San
 Francisco-Tells a Marvellous Story. San Francisco, Nov. 16.-Rev. G. W. Shaw of St Luke's Episcopal church called on the chief of police with a man whom he introduced as Henry T. Clarke of New Haven, Conn. MT. Clarke had a queer story to tell. He said that for two months his mind had been blank, and he wanted the police to trace his movements during that time. The last he remembered was leaving his wife to go to work in New Haven last September. Sunday morn- ing he awoke in a lodging house here and found he had registered as A. Walker. He had no idea how he got there, and was seeking for information. This the police readily furnished by placing Mir Clarke in jail, charged with embezZlement.

Has the Frenchman Solved the
 PrOhIpm

If an intelligent physician were to be asked the question, Why do most popular remedies for dyspepsia fall short of the mark ?' he will promptly say that is is be cause they aim at correcting that form of indigestion which arises from deranged condition of the stomach. whereas in truth three-quarters of all dyspepsia is attribu- table to faulty intestinal digestion
 When, therefore, Claude Bernard the great French physiologist discovered that Ether stimulated the digestive secretions of the glands of the small intestine he laid the foundation for q rational cure for dyspep- sia. He did not, however. go far enough. for he failed to show practical means of administering this drug.
 This we have accomplished in our Ether ol, and beside the valuable remedy in aues- tion, it contains harmless ingredients which act especially in the stomach, and so it does not much matter where your trouble is To- cated, Etherol will afford immediate relief If chronic sufferer, you have doubtless run the whole gauntlet of popular remedies for dyspepsia, only to be disappointed. This product eXerts a most wonderful ef- feet in wasting diseases such as consump- tion and anaemia. It insures the absorption and assimilation of all the food that such l sufferers eat, and stimulates the appetite so that they can eat more. As a result, a rapid increase of flesh almost invariably follows.

At the office of Peck & Bishop it was learned that the Henry T. Clarke above referred to is undoubtedly the man for whom the company has been looking since September. An official of the company stated that Clarke disappear ed with $460 in cash and $S20 in checks. About four days after his disappear ance the checks were returned, uncash. ed, in an envelope postmarked Cincin- nati, o. There was no accompanying writing. After his disappearance it was learned that Clarke had been seen in Springfield Mass. the day following and he probably took a train thence for the west.
 Peck Bishop announce that they will push the case against Clarke as soon as he is brought east.
 The police, who received a telegram stating about the same facts, are loath to believe Clarke's story. They have submitted the. case to State Attorney Williams, and that official, when asked whether he had decided to apply for requisiticn for Clarke, said he had nothing to say.
