that Spain will not dare 60 to war or
do other rash and unamiabIe things.
The Boise Statesman also contends
that there is no sense in a great nation
like this dallying with a little thing
like that; meaning, presumably, the
mere cutting OF Phryglan peasants
Knot with a proclamation instead of
Alexanders' sword. 1t seems a great
pity that the Boise Statesman could
not be made regent of the United
States SO that all these international
problems could be disposed of at once
and without any 'dallying." The re-
gent would Immediately proceed to the
cutting of Gordian knots and fat hogs
or anything else which might present
itself for dissection and settle up the
whole business In a surgical no time.
We wonder if the Boise Statesman has
ever devoted three minutes to a
thoughtful consideration of the Cuban
question. Does it realize that there is
nothing approaching civil government
on that i'll fated island except that rep
resented by Spanish authority Does
1t understand the nature of the Cubans
sufficiently that il they had their indie
pendence of Spain, they would at once
require the protection of some great
power to save themselves from utter
destruction through the processes of
civil wars? Does it understand that If
the United States should intervene 1t
would in all probability have consid.
cradle war on its hands, or at least
have to prepare for such an event ?
And in case of war millions upon mill
ions would be added to the public debt,
many American soldiers would be
killed or wounded and the pension roll
would be increased and extended indef.
initel5. And after all, when the nation
had whipped Spain and Germany and
half dozen other powers, what would
be the result? We would have Cuba on
our hands. She would at first demand
a territorial form of government and
to secure Der people in that would re-
quire battle ships, soldiers, Notifications
and a horde of political carpet baggers,
all to be maintained at the expense of
this nation. These are only few of |
the drawbacks and disadvantages. |
Therefore, the Boise Statesman might
afford to reflect moment and try to |
earn something about the Cuban
question before unsheathing its Alex
.ndEian sword and proceeding to the
iisseveration of prophetic knots.

Tor Republicans to keep hands off, and
let the Senatorisi night go merrily on

NEW YEAR.

The smiles and tears Of another yeal

For him life was a loom, the warp,

ideals were patterns, the days and their
duties were flying shuttles thrown by
mans will and purpose. Oft the weav-

beauty. But hope comforts itself with
the thought that 1t beholds the tapes

right side sits an unseen weaver for
whom each thread is interpreted by the
pattern. Looking up toward the mod

As we enter upon the days and du.

every one put our faith and hope in the
Unseen Weaver and believe IN our
hearts that most often we view the
pattern on the tapestry of life from the
wrong side. A beautiful design is be-

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.

Next Tuesday the County Commits
stoners will meet for the purpose OF
appointing a school superintendent in
accordance with the recent constitut-
ional amendment. The object of
the amendment was to segregate the
offices of probate judge and county
school superintendent and the purpose
behind it all was to aid the public
schools by deVOting the services Of Que
officer solely to their interests. Ex-
perience had taught that It was quite
possible and indeed quite common to
elect man who would make frst-
class probate judge and q very inferior
superintendent of schools. This was
mostly the case, and in consequence
the public schools suffered seriously.
One of the essential qualifications Of a
school superintendent Is that he shall
have had experience as q teacher, and
another is that he shall be q scholar.
1t is also essential that he should be a
man Of diScernmSnt, good morals and
SOUND common sense. In looking over
the field THE TRIBUNE has discovered
one man IN which all these qualities
are united and Blended man who fits
into the position aud fulfilIs every re-
quirement. We urge his appointment
in the interest of our public schools, in
behalf of the growing children of our
county. That man Is Rev. w. ].

ers should appoint him by all means.

OUR BANKING SYSTEM.

The history of banking in this coun
try shows the necessity, for sounC
banking under modern conditions, Of
the following requisites: Consolida
ton, practical OF legal, banking insti
buttons; government regulation and
supervision, and uniformity of regula.
ton. These qualifications our national
banking system has, and it would be
unwise to nullify their power by giving
state banks greater opportunity for
growth. The tax on state bank issues
ought not to be repealed.
But there are serious defects In the
national bank system. In the first
place, it does not afford adequate bank
ing facilities in agricultural communi.
ties. To remedy this defect the follow.
ing reforms are advocated:
l. Provision for the establishment
of branch banks. A small country vii.
iage which could not put up the CAPT.
tai necessary to operate a separate bank
might easily sustain a branch bank. A
separate bank with smaller capital
than now permitted would not be near
ly so effective as branch bank, for It
would require a full equipment of Off.
GERS and more capital than would be
required for the branch. The branch
would have the advantage, also, of &C.
tual identity Of interests with the par.
ent bank.
z. Introduction of the Scotch "cash
credit" system or some similar safe
plan to render borrowing easy to per.
sons Of small credit. This would great.

NOT UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
Decision Of the President Regarding the
Printing Office.
VIII Issue nm Order Shortly After the
Adjournment of Congress
to This Effect.

Star reporter was informed today on
good authority that President Mckinley
has decided that the government printing
offioe Is no. subject to the civil service law,
and will Issue an order shortly after the
adjournment of Congress to this effect
1t is said that after having heard the
arguments on both sides of the question
he has decided that the application of the
civil service law to the government print
ing office has been revoked by the provision
in the act providing for public printing last
year, which makes it incumbent upon the
public printer to pass upon the fitness OF
employees in his office.
A very large number of prominent re-
publfcans have urged upon the President
the propriety of taking the big printing
Office out of the classified service while the
civil service commissioners have claimed
that the provision of the public printing act
requiring the public printer to determine
the fitness of employees of his office in no
way conflicts with the civil service law.
The President however, is said to have
been convinced that the law does not in
clude the printing Office in the classified
service and that it is proper for him to an
nounce that fact in an executive order
BY delaying this action until after the
adjournment of Congress, dismissals will
then be made with a view Of permanently
getting rid of men not pleasing to the ad-
m1niStration, and when Congress reassem-
bles in December the public printer will be
enabled to make several hundred appoint
ments OF men and women upon the recon-
mendation of congressman.

SOLICITOR REEVES POSITION.
He Proclnims the Right of n Man Il
Keep Office.

Judge Reeve. the solicitor of the treas
ury. told Star reporter today that he re-
GREETED that any public reference had been
made to his official tenure, and especially
did he regret the suggestion that the Sec
retary of the Treasury has been displeased
with his opinions. This, he believes, is
without foundation.
Since the ith of March the solicitor mas
written or dictated over forty opinions for
the Treasury Department, besides larger
number of oral opinions given from day to
day to the various bureau and div ision
chiefs of the department.
He is not aware that ne has been over
ruled in single instance, or that the opin-
1on or advice given in any case has not
been satisfactory. Two appeals were taken
to the Attorney General. and. as lie rep
resents. he was sustained in both opinions.
In trying to sustain himself and his rec
ord as public officer. the solicitor said he
did not wish to be considered obstinate or
unreasonable. While every citizen has the
right to apply for office. it must be con-
session of an office has the right to ask for
retention.
The material difference he said, Is that
in one case the person is untried while in
the other case the incumbent may have
what is Of the highest Importance to the
public. good official record to back him.
1t was an aphothegm of George Ill he
said, that man was good enough for any
place he could get. The solicitor rather
thinks that a man is good enough for any
place he can keep
