The Constitution Provides.

Since the recent decision OF the
supreme court in the fee bill there
has been much comment concern
ing the validity of other laws and
prominent among these the law
pertaining to the prosecution of
criminals on information filed by
the district attorney. All attacks
on the legality OF this procedure
are based on the assumption that
the law passed in ISoo,oI was in
valid for irregularities cited by the
court i'll its recent decision. But
the question has another phase
worthy of careful consideration.
The constitution provides for pro
secution by information and it is
doubtful if any action of the legis-
lature was necessary.
The direct language of the con-
stitu;ion, Sec. 8, Art. is. mo
person shall be held to answer for
any felony or criminal ofTense of
any grade, unless on presentment
or indictment of a grand jury or on
information of the public prosecu-
tor. There is nothing in the
language to show that this provi-
sion is not selt-operative. The
statement is direct and ample in
It's scope. 1t has no limiting
clause which can be construed into
need of legislative restrictions to
make this operative. Unless
learned counsel can see something
different it appear; that there is no
need of alarm in the matter OF
prosecution by information. The
constitution has made ample pro-
vision for this I method of proce-
dure 1884.

The monthly September state

The monthly September state
ment of the government receipts
and expenditures shows material
decrease in the deficit as compared
With August. The internal :ev .
enue officers cali attention to the
fact that already the receipts from
internal revenue exceed those of
last year by about 50. 900, 900. The
receipts from customs show a
slight gain and it is confidently
asserted that by the end of the
calendar year the receipts will
fully equal or exceed the needs of
the government. Under the new
management the government is
slowly drifting back to a cash
basis. There will be no more bond
issues TO raise money to meet our
current expenses.

The August examination ques-
tons given to the teachers of
Idaho proved a rock upon which
the fond hopes Of many strug-
Cling pedagogue were sadly
wrecked. The main complaint
coming from the members of the
profession is that the questions
were impractical! and of the variety
known as catch" questions. A
decided protest has been registered
by the teachers in mary parts of
the state and the local press has
taken up the discussion. Before
entering into discussion concern
ing the merits of the questions as
proper test either tor scholarship
or professional skill it would be
well to fix definitely what is the
end to be attained by the ex. nina
ton. There are many who are at
war with the wi ole system of ex-
animation on the ground that it
forms no true test of teaching abil-
ity but passing that by and accept
ing the system as we have it,
What results are we to expect
from the test and what trend must
the questions taEra Since it is OBJ
vious that the examination canno,
be test of professional skill il
should be made test Of
general intelligence along
the line of the teachers work. 1,
Is not enough to test the memory
alone and questions that require {
book answer are OF the poorest
educational value. The teacher
should have broad practica
knowledge not only OF books bu
Of the world. The highest aim o
the profession is to fit the child fol
the battle of life. The teacher theI
should have practical working
knowledge of the educational force.
and the test of an examination
should show of general intelli
gence III the discussion of the mat
ter with cue allowance for origin

Boise is making some needed
improvement in the line Of macad-

economic side as we'll as it's appeal

The occasion of the Inter. Noun
tain fair at Boise marks an event
in the industrial history of Idaho.
The state came into prominence as
a mining center and the activity
in this industry was for many
years the principal feature of our
civilization, Agriculture was only
an incidental industry. Ii had its
beginning in an attempt to supply
the mining camps with vegetables
and other food products. The
most fertile spots in the sheltered
and we'll watcred valleys were
selected, and agriculture began
with most unpromising future.
AS the mining craze snbsided more
energy was given to the cultiva.
ton of the soil till the cultivation
Of the fertile valleys and uplands
of the state forms one OF its chief
industries. The farmer and fruit
grower stand equal TO the miner in
recoun,ing the sources of wealth
and enumerating the resources of
the state. The promoters of the
Inter Mountain fair make plain in
their prospectus that they recog-
nize all Of the varied industries of
the state. The range, the farm,
the dairy, the orchard, the garden,
the mine. each aud all are TO he
represented. For the first time in
the history of the state an attempt
will be made to make an exhibit
of our various industries. The re-
suit will be surprise even to our
own citizens. The miner has had
neither time nor opportunity to
acquaint himself with the develop
ment OF the agricultural interests,
and the farmer and fruit grower is
almost stranger to the mining in
dustry. One design of the pro.
moters Of the fair is to bring to-

Wealth is pouring into the
United States in a golden stream.
Australia sent 81. 900. 900 last week
to San Francisco for wheat and
within four days the total received
and enroute from Europe amount
cd to IS. 500, 600. In August our
excess of merch and'se aud specie
exports over imports were $l2.-
500. 900 The present month will
show a considerable gain over
these figures. Gold will keep
moving to this side in an increased
volume. The gold reserve is in
creasing so rapidly that what to do
with it has become question oil
serious thought. After the first OF
the year the receipts from the
new revenue bill will more than
meet the expenditure Of the gov
eminent and the accommodating
surplus will no doubt be used to
reduce the national debt. The
prosperity Of the nation will be en-
phasized by the fact that we are
again reducing the public debt.

The Opposing Factions Are Either
Up or Down.

Wheeling, w Va, Aug 3O-The
strikers camp near the Montana mines
gained not fewer than 80 recruits today.
all of them men who have been work
ing. but the operators were on the look
out for assertions and hae nearly as
many new men to go into the mines.
In the New river region a few men
were brought out. but the district is
working practically full. Kanawha
valley working forces showed a de-
crease, but the agftators had the mines
pretty well tied up before.
At Clarksburg the operators have
been chahng because their mines We're
tied up early, while Fairmont carried
off good part of their trade. Thus
far no effort has been made to start the
Clarksburg mines, but it is given out
today that unless the old men return
to work before the end of the week the
operators will begin importing men next
week The Clarksburg strikers are firm
and are not likely to accept the offer.
Miner and labor leaders generally take
no stock in the st. Louis meeting ex-
cept it may aid the miners in cash
They do not believe an order for a gen
eral strike could be enforced and as for
annalgamating all labor unions and
starting political movement, not more
than the most preliminary steps can
be taken

vention. The indications are that it
will be a large convention and that

THERE IS A VACANCY.
At Least, So Says the State Com

Reading, Pa, Aug. Boy vote OF
SIS to 26 the state Democratic commit
tee tonight adopted a resolution de-
claring vacant the seat of William F.
Harrity, of Philadelphia, in the ma
tional Democratic committee. The
committee met in the rooms of the
Americas club by direction of the
executive committee to consider the
question Of the vacancy in the national
committee. The proceedings were eX-
citing from start to finish, and at one
stage policeman was called upon by
State Chairman Garman to eject
Timothy O'Leary of PittSburg for in
terTupting the speakers. O'Leary is
not a member of the committee.
Immediately after the meeting was
called to order John B. Keene Of West
moreland offered a resolution that a
vacancy has been created and now
exists in the membership of the ma
tional committee by reason of the
voluntary withdrawal from politics and
from participation i1athe deliberations
of the committee of the late incumbent
William F. Harrity and that Mr..
Harrity, not being in accord with the
principles of the Democratic party,
James NJ Guffey, of Pittsburg, who so
Loyalty supported William ]. Bryan be
and is hereby selected to fill the
vacancy"
Magistrate Charles P, Donnelly of
Philadelphia, said the committee would
make a mistake if it adopted this reso-
luton on the eve of the great battle for
governor 1t was the duty of the
organization, he said, to bring about
a. condition Of affairs that meant aG-
gressiveness and harmony in the party
and the Democracy could not go be
fore the populace with the expectation
Of winning victories with a divided
party organization Mr.. DoneIly denied
a right of the state committee 10
create a vacancy in the national COM
mittee.
a warm debate followed and then
Chairman Garman at the request OF
Mr.. Donnelly read the correspondence
between himself and Mr. Harrity. Mr.
Garman followed with a long argument
in favor of the resolution.
More heated argument followed, one
member suggesting the reference of the
question TO William J. Bryan.
The vote then followed with the re-
suit stated.
The action of the state committee
will. undoubtedly, result in an exciting
time at tomorrow's convention.

Denver, Colo. Aug. 3O.-A special to
the News from Terre Haute, Ind, SAYS:
Eugene V. Debs left for st. Louis to-
night to attend the conference called
by the national executive board of the
United Mine Workers He says that
there has been a YES nsrkable change in
public sentiment on the injunction ques-
ton; that whereas chree years ago
there was hardly any dissent from the
course Of judges who. were issuing re-
straining orders against the strikers.
the prepouderance of sentiment now is
in opposition.
The fact is, said he 1T has been
carried to the extreme and public SEN
timent revolts. If the injunction is up
held, no strike can be won. The court
issues the restraining order and fixes a
day for the hearing two or three weeks
ahead. In the meantirne the strike will
have been lost.
Speaking of the probable action of
the st. Louis conference, MIR. Debs was
not willing to be quoted. but it was
evident that he did not believe a gen.
eral sympathetic strike would be or
dered''
