unemployed, the depression in
agriculture, and howl against
government by injunction. Capt.
tai has already enslaved and de-
vastated nearly every State in the
Union. Idaho alone hears no
elanking chains, nor feels no
grinding hoof. The Record
should not, by the remotest init
nation, indicate a friendly dis
position towards capital. 1t is
heretical for it to do so. Did not
the sinister influence of capital
perpetsate the Crime of '73. Did
it not demonitize silver in 1893?
Is it not the bane of the world and
the slave driver of the common
people? A capitalist is a thing
to be dreaded and harpooned.
The money power must be kept
out of Idaho at all hazard.

A FRAUDULENT LETTER.

Two weeks ago an article APP
peared in these columns setting
forth the fact that a rumor was
current to the effect that officials
of the Oregon Short Line had
instructed their employees to vote
affirmatively on the proposition to
validate the bridge warrants, and
that a letter purporting to have
been written by said officials had
been exhibited. THE TRIBUNE
takes great pleasure in being able
to announce that it is authorized
to make the following statement:
Neither Superintendent Calvin,
nor Mr.. Bancroft were aware of
the fact that an election was being
held in Canyon County at the
time, and do not, even now, know
what the controversy was. They
have never taken any part in such
matters, and have no desire or in
tention of doing SO in the future.
THE TRIBUNE felt at the time the
charge was made that it was
false. And here it is proper to
remark that railroad officials are
frequently accused falsely and
unjustly. We are glad of the
opportunity to refute the charge
made against the Oregon Short
Line, and caution people to here
after accept such stories with
great hesitancy. If the gentle
man who exhibited the letter in
question on election day would
exonerate himself from attempt
ed deception, he must publish that
letter to the world. We suspect
he can not do it, and his dupes
must be content with such expla-
nation as he may be able to in
vent.

CALAMITY NOT CAPITAL.

In plaintive accent, our'esteem-
ed contemporary, the Record,
adjures thusly: "Will somebody
rise and explain why it is that
capital is apparently so chary
about making investments in Ida
no." Can it be possible that the
Record is backsliding.? Capital
does not come to Idaho because
the people hate capital. Capital
is wicked, grinding monster.
1t puts its foot upon the neck of
the common people and brushes
the life out of them. Capital is a
gold bug; capital is banker, a
corporation, aye, an octopus.
Would the Record have Idaho
become the prey to this diabol-
ical agency? What good would
capital do anyway? Would it
add anything to the States pros

is the only infallible remedy, the
only true elixer. Besides, there
is only one legitimate channel
through which prosperity can
come. If it attempts to force it
self through illegitimate channels
it must be scorned and rejected.
Who wants prosperity without
free coinagea Who would &C
cept it at the price of eternal dis
grace to the white metal? What
Idaho needs is more calamity, not
more capital. What the Record
should do is hurl anethemas
against capital; it should shake
up the trusts and monopolies and
National banks. 1t should sing
anthems to Bryan and the Chica-
go platform, and talk about Kan
sas mortgages, the millions of the

ant is cheaper in the end than the
eastern one. Give the business
man of the town your trade. He
pays taxes here, helps keep the
roads in condition, builds bridges,
sidewalks, etc, buys your butter,
eggs, and any other produce you
may have for market. The stores
of Caldwell are well stocked with
serviceable new goods, and at
prices that are reasonable, and by
patronizing them you assist the
town and not the merchant in the
far off east.

THE Hon. William O'Connell
Bradley, Governor of Kentucky,
must have hesitated long between
duty and the promptings of
the imagination and the heart be-
fore he refused to pardon the
Hon. Nimrod Watkins of Lyon
country, sentenced to ten days
Imprisonment and to pay a fine of
S25 for carrying concealed weap-
ons. There must have been
strong pleadings in Mr.. Watkins
nobly sportsmanlike name. What
should a man of the name of MINI
rod do but carry weapons? Why
should he not conceal them so
that fowls of the air and beasts of
the field might take no fright
thereat? If Nimrod can't carry
a "gun" in Kentucky, that State
should now order her Ascension
robes.

THERE is day coming" says
the Louisville Dispatch in the APP
proved ancient phrase of melo-
drama, "when the overshadow-
ing issue in this country will be
the wealth producers against the
robbers, who in the name of
Government and under the sane
tons of law, take and appropriate
to private use the earnings of
honest toll. :" If the overshadow-
ing issue is not settled by "a sue
cessful peaceful revolt" then
there will be "the bloodiest revo-
luton ever recorded in the annals
of war;" Hot language for hot
weather, and in the true King
Cambyses vein, and yet there
may be ways of inducing the re-
volution to postpone its appear
ance. We suspect from COM
plants that have been made by
the Louisville Dispatch, which
was founded to boost Organism,
that the robbers don't advertise
in it, They are imprudent and
neglect this struggling heroic
word-producer.

Conditions sometimes force
men to assume positions on ques-
tons of political economy to which
they formerly vehemently re-
fused to assent, and Mr.. Bryan's
late concession to the law of sup
PLY and demand in the matter of
wheat and silver is plainly only a
lucid interval. He goes back at
once to his theory Of cheap mon
ey, without reckoning that the
same great law will operate
against that also. If money is
cheap, nobody will want it, and
there you have the law of supply
and demand again and an inevi-
table further cheapening. How
anybody is to be better off for the
possession or a lot of money that
will buy less the more he has of
it, perhaps some old man who re-
members the days of Confederate
scrip can tell.

THE Government maintains a
peculiar combination at the Ma
tional Park. The visitor is met
at the entrance to the Park by
one of the guards, and the lock of
his gun is fastened and sealed so
that it connot be used without
breaking the seals, which is a
punishable offense. Recently
visitors have been robbed by ban
bits who did not care a snap for
the regulations. Another danger
is that bears are so plentiful that
as many as a half dozen have
been seen at one time, and the
government has neither instructed
these wards in the rules of eti-
quette, nor provided them with
muzzles or boxing gloves.

The time is approaching when
Ex-senator Dubois shall return

nant with financial lore, amassed

by the Emperor's argument.
There was familiarity about it
that convinced me that he must
be familiar with my own speeches

into the English tongue, was
substantial reproduction of my

Their patronage, the cream producers are

their dairy as when selling milk-consider-

calves or hogs. 1t is good for any domestic
animal that will drink it. Skim milk has
also very rich fertilizing value, as any
one can know by turning some on grass
ground and noting the result in the rapid
and increased growth of grass. So we are
robbing the farm by selling off the milk
but we still continue to do SO and except
the price at the contractors terms, yet it
is according to custom of trade to buy as

milk contractors are only doing as others

Lecture Course Tickets.

Monday evening at o'clock in banquet
hall the choice of seats for the Y. M. c..
A. lecture course was determined. As
each holder Of tickets entered the door he
was given number, the numbers deter
mining the question Of priority in selection
alter the bidding had ceased. L S. Hayes
as chairman of the educational committee
stated the object of holding an auction of
seats, and FL. d. Ryder did the auctoneer-
ing; G. E. Capron and DR.. Edward Kirk
land looked after the checking off and the
distribution OF season ticket. The bids
for options ranged from five cents to so
cents, the former being the popular price.
The sum derived from the auction was
about $15 and 257 seats were checked off.
The arrangement seemed to pass off to the
entire satisfaction of all.

The Cotton Crop.

The situation of the cotton interest is
suggestive. Last season at this time there
was larger visible supply and better crop
prospects; yet now the price of the staple
is one and one-half cents lower than it was
year ago, when the stock in sight was
639, 600 bales greater. Owing to drought
in the cotton regions former estimates Of
the common crop must be revised, and ex-
pert opinion in New FORK points to yield
of not over 100000 or 100000 bales.
Yet prices are depressed. If the Indian
minis were reopened and the British gov
eminent should redeem its pledge to pro-
mote stable par of exchange between
gold and silver, Worcestershire could spin
and America could sell cotton. Then we
should have decent prices again.

Death of Rev. Dr.. Andrew Oliver.

This brief sketch, taken from the Church
man of October %, will be of especial
interest to the former Pensioners of the
Rev. Andrew Oliver, d. d., in Bellows
Falls
Rev DR.. Andrew Oliver, professor of
New Tes ament Literature and Interpreta
ton in the General Theological seminary,
departed this lite on Sunday, October II,
1897, in his 74th year.
Professor Oliver was Of English descent,
his family having originally come from Sus-
sex, Eng. His paternal grandfather, the
Rev. Thomas Fitch Oliver, was among the
first clergy ordained by Bishop Seabury in
this country. He held parishes in Provi-
dence, R T., and Marblehead and Salem,
Massachusetts, and died in early life,
while rector of small parish near the city
of Baltimore.
Professor Oliver was born February %,
Daniel Oliver, M. D., was professor in
Dartmouth college. He was graduated
in 1912, given the degree Of M A. by
Trinity college in 1858, OF d, d. by
Hobart college in 1868, and by the Gen
e1al Theological seminary in 1885.
After graduation from college he studied
law in the office of Rufus Choate and was
admitted to the bar in Boston. Subse-
quently he studied theology under the Rev.
DR.. Pynchon, sometime president of Trim
ity college, and was ordained deacon JAN
uary 81, 1854, in St. Johns church, Ports
mouth, N Il, by the Ri. Rev. Carlton
Chase, ID ID bishop of New Hampshire,
aud advanced to the prie sthood in St.
Paul's church, Waterloo, n. Y, March 4,

Stephens college, Annandale, in 1864.
He was appointed professor OF Biblical
Learning in the General Theological sem
mary June %, 1873, and continued in the
active discharge of his duties up to the
last week of his life.
A devout interpreter of the Holy Scrip
lures, a gentleman of the olden school,
studiously courteous in his manners, he left
a deep impress upon all the students who
came under his care. and his death creates
a vacancy in the faculty which it will be
very difficult to supply.

The result was that Judgment was
given against Mr.. Joslin for $l2,346 90.
In the other two cases after conference
among attorneys, the Nashua bank paid

call OF 81 per share and costs, and the
cases were continued to next term with
view of final compromise.
