CAPPs AND MULLINER UNSEATED.
The House by Vote Of 26 to % De-
eide i'm Favor Of the Contestants,
Orr and Briggs.

The action of the house OF represen-
tatives of the Idaho legislature caused
a general surprise Monday by voting to
unseat Representatives Caps and Null
liner, of Bingham county, and to seat
the contestants, Orr and Briggs.
The action was so plainly unjust and
unfair to the contestees and to the peo-
pie who elected them, and savored so
much of the dishonest methods and
dirty work in the early territorial days
that there can be no wonder that the
people felt surprised and even shocked
beyond expression.
THE NEWS feels half inclined TO be-
lieve that that branch OF our law-mak-
ing department does not appreciate the
dignity OF statehood and of their high
calling-that many Of the members are
living in the dark days OF the past
when the laxity Of laws and morals
called might right and brutal force Of
numbers justice and integrity.
The good name OF Idaho suffered
much from the action of its territorial
legislatures. but when it was admitted
to statehood, the country at large ex-
pected better things Of its lawmakers.
and her people demanded right and
justice to all though the heavens fall.
The action OF the Senate in allowing
Senator Turner TO retain his seat Is a
rebuke to the house that will put to
shame many Of its members. Mr..
Turner was elected on the same ticket
with Representatives Capps and Multi
ner, and If the higher branch Of the
legislature felt constrained to give him
his seat, the lower branch should have
been as honest, fair and just TO retain
its sitting members.
Honesty is as good policy in politics
as 1t is in business. People may have
applauded might as right in days gone
by, but they will not do it to-day,
Crooked and disreputable ways find
few endorsers in this age of our state
hood.
A body Of men rcsourceful in such
slippery ways az to disappoint and de-
feat the will and wishes of the people
will not be soon forgotten, and the
glory they hope to gain from such
ways, like ill-gotten gains, will not re.
main with them long. Nothing is more
certain in Idaho than that the senti.
ment Of the people is on the side Of
honesty and morality, and it is equally
certain that the action of the house
Twill be treasured up against the q
members TO their modification, shame
and disappointment in future years
when seeking honor and prcicrment, n

The POpulist Future.

''What will the Populists do?" is one
Of the interesting questions growing out
Of the recent alliance campaign. An in
timation Of the answer as to part OF
them st least Is contained I'm the address
Of George +. Washburn OF the Populist
National Executive Committee.
Mr.. Washburn calls uponth Populists
to reorganiZe for an independent cam
paign on greenback platform. His adj
dress and the utterances of the leaders
comforting in this city emphasize the
fact that the Democrats and Populists
we're not held together by an enduring
bond. Many Populists revolted against
fusion before election day aud rejoiced
over the defeat Of the Democracy. The
bulk Of those who chung to fusion re-
garded the silver issue merely as a
makeshift and, as Mr.. Washburn ex-
presses it, ian entering wedge" TO the

The End OF a Great Struggle.

The defeat OF the Pacific funding bill
in congress yesterday was the end OF
one OF the most remarkable struggles in
the history of legislation. The Pacific
roads have been striving for an extern
sion of time in which to pay off their in
debtedness. Already the roads interest
ed in the bill owe the government Sll2,-
900, 900. The object OF the bill was TO ex-
tend the time in which payment should
be made, so years, with interest at 2
per cent, and an annual payment on the
principal OF 1866, 900 for the first ten
years, $3.50, 900 for the second ten years
and $3.50, COO for the remaining years. 1t
was evident TO all observing men that
the scheme was in the interest of those
who have already robbed the govern
ment Of millions; that the extension OF
time for so years simply meant that the
conspirators were to pay per cent on
Indebtedness and small amount per an
mum on the principal, thus practically
gaining possession of the road and its
profits for song. During the first ten
years the boodlers, most of whom are
well along in years, would accumulate
vast fortunes in addition to those which
they already possess. They would fleece
the road, rob the government and in all
respects continue the game which they
have been playing for years.-Miner.
