THE NEW SENATOR.

The Boise Statesman Is suffering
another spasm of yirtuous indignation.
The Statesman's piety, purity and
=iellcacy will yet be the death of it.
The last shock to its moral sensibillles
resulted from the election of Henry
ITeitfeld to the United States Senate.
The Statesman convulsed with grief
eobs: "He is lacking In those qualities
OF statesmanship which are expected in
a United States Senator" And mourn.
fully adds: ut would have been better
that no one were elected" or words to
that effect. AS everybody clearly un-
derstands the cause Of the Statesmau's
dolorous outpourlngs, 1t is safe to say
the equanimity Of the state win not be
much disturbed thereby.
The TRIBUNE knows nothing about
the Hon. Henry Heitfeld, except what
can be learned from common report
He has the reputation Of being a res
pectable citizen, an honest man and a
successful farmer. If he were a dude
arTayed IN collars and cuffs, cigarettes,
cane and monocle, he might be more
acceptable TO the Statesman. But the
great commOnality have not reache d
the esthesIc altitude requisite TO the ap-
probation OF sneh rtfnements. Mr..
Heittelds heighbors regard him as a
man Of sterling character and sound
judgment. Those may not be the
"qualitles" expected OF United States
Senator, but II strikes us that they will
not entirely incapacitate Mr.. Heitfeld
The Statesman yearns for popular cleo
tion Of United States Senators as a sure
preventative against the ascendency of
men lacking essential qualities" Were
not Hon, Jim Gum and Hon. Frank
Stsunenberg submitted to the "arbitra.
menl" Of the popular ballot? Are they in
any respect the superiora of Mr.. Hei,.
feldS THE.TRIBUNE believes in Civ.
ing every man a fair chance to demon.
atrate his quality. Henry Heltield will
soon have an opportunity in the Senate
t0show the kind OF stuff he is made of.
II he is man of character and judg
ment, he will no doubt successfully and
satisfactorily represent a majority of
the people of Idaho. We hope the
Statesman will try TO compose itself.
The world is progressing towards its
standard. Recently our minister to
Russia appeared in knee breaches.
The next legislature may elect a dude
ora duOdenum. That last word is a
typographical error.

GREAT MINDS DIFFER.

The Idaho World sharply criticlses
The TRIBUNE's suggestion that there
may be something said on both
sides of the taxing mines question.
The World also twits THE
tribune on its magnificent dis
play of ignorance respecting mining
matters in general. THE TRIBUNE
does not scruple to plead innocent of
any appreciable technical knowledge
on the subject Of mining. Perhaps we
said dump" where strictly speaking we
should have said stope, dip, spur or
chute. We will not contend with the
World along this line. Tine thought in
our mind was that system of taxation
which had reference only to "gross out.
put" might be unjust, but that taxation
of property and values actually in evil
dence at the time the levy is imposed,
seemed unobjectionable. We fail to
see any peculiar force to the Worlds
contention that it would be impractic-
able to accurately estimate the value of
ore on hand. Is it not practically i'm
possible to accurately estimate the
value of ninetenths of all property
subjected to taxation? But let us ex-
anime for one moment the "grOss out
put" proposition. Is it not a fact that
the cost of mining differs widely in diff.
ferent'parts of the state or indeed in
the same immediate locallay? Then
we may reasonably take suppOsitious
case: The "gross output" Of the Red
Bird is 100000 annually and the
"gross output" of the Red Eye is $780,
600. The cost of operation in the Red
Bird is $9500OO while the cost in the
Red Eye is $4,000. The capital invest
ed in the Red Bird is $5OOOOO and the
capital represented in the Red Eye is
$4,000. Now if tax of two per cent,
on the gross output" of these mines be
levied, would that be a fair PROPOSE.
ton?
But notwithstanding we suffered
keenly from the Worlds mOrdant
structures, yet, we suck some consola-
ton from the knowledge that experts
and experienced miners differ widely.
Note what our esteemed contemporary,
the Silver City Avalanche, says; THE
CALDWELL TRIBUNE has an able
editorial In its last issue arguing against
taxing the output of mines as suggest.
ed by Gov. Steunenberg in his maiden
message. Extracts from the same will
be reproduced in our next issue, and
other pertinent reasons given to demon
strate the inadvisability of such legis-
lation at this time. Don't kill the
goose that lays the golden egg"

BETTER RECONSIDER.

The action of the house of reprSSSn.
tatives Of the Idaho legislature in un-
seating Caps and Mulliner will stand
as a monument to its shame and dis.
grace.

pressed in the Turner case. 1t is HUI

acknowledge and correct an error.
The house can redeem itself in the pub

the public confidence by reconsidering
the matter and reseating Capps and

THE RECORD.

A cursory review of the record al.
ready made by the State legislature
should convince any impartial mind
that before the close of the session the
most exacting demands of genuine re-
form will have been amply satisfied If
not satiated. 1t is, therefore, no ex.
trayagant figure to describe the people
of Idaho as alternately stepped in CRATE

consideration. Great Britain has meyer
formally acknowledged the right of
this country Go enforce the principles
of the Monroe Doctrine, and while her
majeSty's government might never con-
tend in arms against US on this point,
there is no doubt but that it would
insist on submitting the whole cues
tion to arbitration, and under the pro-
posed treaty an European monarch
would have q determining voice. In
deed In every existing case Of diff
ference between Great Britain and the
United States, the benefits of arbitra.
ton would be altogether on the side Of
Great Britain.
With respect to international arbi.
tratiOn In general, this much may be
said: The condition antecedent to the
existence Of q general arbitration
scheme is good will. 1t must exist be-
fore the treaty and continue until Its
termination. AS there is no way of
enforcing the decree of an International
aEbitratiEg tfiSunal, therefore tho Of
fectiveness of such decree depends alb.
solutely on the complaisance Of the par
ties in litigation. This single fact
will serve to indicate the weakness of
general system of international arbi-
tFatiOn when considered in connection
with the further fact that no power
on earth can compel q nation to regard
its treaty obligations, and no nation on
earth will continue to regard them
after Il has been discovered that their
operation ceases to be advantageous.
International arbitration, therefor, is
simply question of international good
will. II this good will exists, arbitra-
ton win naturally be resOrted to in the
settlement Of all disputes to which ar
bitration is applicable. If the good
will does not exist and continue, ar
bitFatiOn must fail Great Britain and
the United States are simply putting
on paper record of there present NUT
ual desire to be decent and respectful
towards each other for the next five
years. If they didn't write it down
and seal 1t with gravity, they might
forget all about it before spring.

REPORTS ARE IEXAaoERATgD
The Famine In India Is Not Az Sewers
As RepOrted-NO Deaths By
Starvation.

A London dispatch says:-The spec
ial representative of the Associated
Press who is travelling through the
famine districts, in company with the
Governments party of inspection, sends
a dispatch today from KOlhapur. He
says that the reports which have been
sent to England and the Uuited States
of the acute famine said to exist in the
southern Maharashera States have been
exaggerated, so far as his observation
has extended. A scarcity of grain does
indeed prevail in the extreme eastern
portion of this region, but the people
there were able to escape want by mi
grating, most of them to the fertile
KancOrn plains and elsewhere, where
the shOrtness of grain supply is not
felt. Rice also is plentiful, and means
and measures for the relief of the
hungry are pronounced adequate
where needed.
The Maharajah, in an interview with
the Associated Press representative on
the prospects of his people escaping
starvation, said his State expected a
famine every five years. and he was
therefore not taken unawares or un-
provided when it came. They were
prepared, he said, to spend five lakhs of
rupees for relief In his territory.
The British Resident was also inter.
viewed and confirmed the statements
of the Maharajah as to the situation,
adding that the relief organization was
most efficient tE the Bombay province
and that the difficulties from famine
and of securing and distributing relief
we're lighter than In former famines
The Resident summed up his views as
follows:
My observation has been, In travel.
ing over the whole western country
that the famine is not severe there
though 1t may increase toward June
But in the districts in which 1 have
Travelled l have not heard of a single
death from starvation.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

Much as the civilized Christian ma
tons appear to favor peaceful methods
Of settling international disputes, the
arbitration treaty recently negotiated
between representatives Of the United
States and Great Britain does not
meet with general approval in this
country. This is due to some extent.
perhaps, to a lingering suspicion that
the British government never submits
to arbitration any question which
could by any possibility be determined
In its favor by any other method.
Great Britain resorts to arbitration on
the tolerably safe basis OF tails win,
heads you lose.
Many eminent American statesmen
object to any general system Of arbl-
tratiOn as impractlCablO and II practi-
cable undesirable. They maintain that
in the settlement Of moat disputes the
ordinary machinery Of diplomacy is
much more effective and satisfactory.
There is certainly some question % TO
whether or not a general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain would be- advantageous
to this country, There are many i'm.

people Of the United States could III
afford to submit to the consideration
