lies are wiped out of eXistance BY acct
dent, but seldom is it the terrible ex-
perience of parents to lose seven child
rem in less than two weeks by disease,
especially in a cool climate, where
there is no trouble with the death deal
ing fevers. Joseph Kershaw the father
of the diseased, and the mother are
now very ill and it is not improbable
that one or both may follow the child
rem before many days. Their suffer
ing was pitiful in the extreme. No one
is allowed to go to the house to console
with them, their children have been
taken from the house during the night
and buried without much ceremony
aud without mourners to follow the
cotfins, and the Prevailing storm makes
even the well-to, do and comfortably
situated people feel respondent. All
these things make the misery of the
poor parents beyond endurance. Tho

MAJORITY SHOULD RULE.

Congress is now in extraordinary
session and has been convened for the
express purpose of enacting law which
shall produce sufficient revenue to pay
the necessary expenses of government
and give adequate protection to Ameri
can industry. By the largest popular
mojority received in any election for
years William Mckinley was elected
President of the United States because
he was the foremost advocate of the
Protective system. If any one thing
is clear it is that majority of the
American people are in favor Of such
a bill as has now been presented in
Congress and If the principle that the
majority shall rule Is correct, the bill
should be enacted into law. A few
years ago when measure of an entire
ly different character was before Con-
gress, TIE TRIBUNE urged that there
should be no interference with its pass
age because it was representative Of
the views held by majority of the
people at that time. For then advocat-
ing that the people were entitled to a
fair trial of any policy they deemed to
their advantage, we were criticised by
some Republicans and possibly now
for advocating the same thing we will
be criticised by some Democrats. But
after all we are right and the only cor
rect rule is to cheerfully submit to the
expressed will of the majority. This
does not involve an admission that the
majority are right, but it is an acknOw-
ledgment of the fact that the majority
have alright to be wrong. We were al
ways of the belief that whenever free
trade policy was given a fair trial, the
results would be so disheartening and
damaging that it would be completely
repudiated at the first opportunity.
Our belief was amply verified We be-
lieve now that if the protective policy
he given fair trial the results will be
so beneficial and satisfactory that no
attempt will be made to change it for a
generation. Before, we advocated the
right of the majority to do that which
we believed to be wrong; now, we in
sist on the right of the majority to do
that which we believe to be right. We
hope Idaho's representatives in Con.
gress who occupy the position we did
few years ago will act upon the wise
and liberal principle that the right of
the majority is supreme and especially
when every development of fact during
the past four years demonstrates that
at present the majority is right. To
MessrS Heitfeld and Gum we would
like to say this: Though you were not
elected as Republicans, yet you must
know that majority of the people of
your State favor a protective tariff;
you know that majority of the people
of the United States favor a protective
tariff, therefore it will be wise in you
to also favor protective tariff.

WHITE PINE DEAL.

Recently the Statesman contained a
report purporting to emanate from
Attorney General Mcfarland which
proceeded to relate how one G. D.
Brown had succeeded in completely
bunkoing the State Land Board and
robbing the public educational institu-
tiOns of many thousands of acres of
valuable timber lands If the account
given by the Statesman is true and no.
body doubts it, an irreparable
loss has been sustained by the state,
amounting perhaps to several hun
dred thousand dollars. This unhappy
event must reflect seriously on the
present State Administration, more
particularly as it is the first executive
act of any consequence and closely
connected in time and character with
the late, unlamented legislature. The
facts related in connection with this
administrative incident which is singu.
larly illustrative of "the ordinary eau
ton incident to good business meth
ods," are substantially as follows: C..
o. Brown was engaged by the State
Land Board to locate and file upon, for
the benefit Of the State, some $4,000
acres of the most valuable Of a large
amount Of timber land previously Sc
lected and withdrawn from public en-
try. The time given the State for FL
ing was about to expire and the facts
were brought to the attention of the
legislature which promptly passed a
bill making an appropriation of some
$500 to cover expenses of location and
final entry. Mr.. Brown, aforesaid was
duly commissioned and proceeded to
Lewiston to do the work. Well he did,
it. He put lot of Michigan friends
on all the land that was of any account
and secured for the State a lot of bar
rem, burnt, worthless country, scarcely
worth a postage stamp to the acre.
The land secured by the friends of q. o.
Brown is said to be very valuable as it
consists of the best white pine forrest
in the west if not anywhere in the
United States, Anybody can calculate
approximately the value of 10 or Is
thousand acres of unexcelled whit pine
timber land. 1t could easily run any.
where from $2o to 500 per acre. We
do not believe that there is anything
tending to criminally connect the State
Administration with the transaction,
we can not overlook the fact
that ii the same thing had occurred
three months ago a mighty howl
against the gold bugs would have rend
the air and there never would have
been any end to the denunciation of
Poker Bin and his White Pine Deal
II Governor Steunenberg should re-
ceiye a few pious reminders of what
under similar circumstances Governor
Mcconnell would have been deluged
with, he must try to bear it patiently
.hough it rupture his philosophy.

never does anything from a good
motive, he honestly believes that every
body is moved by evil design. You
have all met the political degenerate.
You meet him in business, society, il
church. Sometimes he has the ex-
terror of an open, generous man,
but just sound him on politics and
the mask will disappear instantaneous
ly. Sometimes, he is a close, crafty
party, but may be constantly wreathed
in a more or less hypocritical smile
which becomes actually repulsiVe in
articulation. He is absolutely desti-
tute of any idea of political morality
and regards with mingled suspicion
and contempt anybody who seems to
respect public integrity. In his opin-
ion any one who takes an open stand
for political morality is q mere actor,
playing for political effect. He scouts
the idea of honest convictions and
snsers at honorable conduct. lie really
believes that to deceive and plumber
the public is the legitimate end of poll
tics, and his respect for every public
man is gagged by the mans ability as
a hypocrit and thief. But political
degeneracy is disease and the victim
can no more help himself than can the
leper or the kleptomaniac. He is
built that way. Political degeneracy
is germ product, both contagious and
infectious. 1t has already secured a
mighty grip on the body polite. If
you do not believe it ask the first man
you meet what he thinks of the JONES
affair and il he be a thoughtful party
he will promptly reply by saying that
JONES principal ofTense consists in his
confession. Then inquire of the same
individual what he thinks of the men
and newspapers who are earnestly pro.
claiming against the JONES and other
publiccrimes, and three times out Olive
the answer will be, oh, they are play
ing for political effect. These political
degeneraLes do vast amount Of harm
in the world, directly and indirectly
They frequently get into public office
because they can conscientiOusly resort
to methods which would paralyzo an
honest man; and when in office they
diligently and Zealously practice their
political religion which is public plund,
er. Their success naturally incites
others to emulation and the positive
evils of the disease spread. Indirectly
they do iEcalculabls harm by impunCing
the motives and thereby destroying the
influence of good men. 1t is therefore
the duty of every patriotic citizen to
suppress the political degenerate. The
way to do it is to sit down hard on the
man who has no respect for morality in
politics and who habitually sneers at
every man who attempts to promote
public integrity and political purity.

THE manifesto issued by the Silver
Republics as appears to have aroused
the Silver Democrats. Last Monday
a secret meeting of the Democratic
leaders was held al Denver and we may
expect the appei rance of another
manifesto. The rock upon which the
silver forces united last fall is apt to be
the rock upon which they will split in
to fragments. It takes more than one
principle to firmly and eternally cement
politicians.

THE Boise Sentinel is shocked at

devote themselves with redoub led vigoT

Mrs. MERIT of the Idaho Recorder
has made the mistake of her life but
busted the ancient superstition that
women alone are peculiar in
that they never stop talking
because every one of them wants
the last word. This observation
is called forth by the performances of
two long winded political correspond
