The only Good Paper Currency.

All propositions for the retirement Of
the legal tenders and the abolition of
the treasury reserve as a feature Of our
currency system are coupled with the
demand for a banking system that would
afford large note circulation, one more
responsive to the fiuctuating demands Of
business and one whose reserve would be
maintained by banks which would be
compelled by the conditions Of their
existence and by law to protect their
notes, and which, through their discount
business, have the necessary machinery
for increasing their reserves or decreas-
ing their liabilities. Such n banking sys-
tenn would provide the paper currency
which the American people would rather
handle in their daily transactions and
carry about as pocket money than specie.

A Book Full of Errors.

One of the most valuable books for
the professional collector is esteemed
solely on account of its errata and the
authors peculiar explanation of how
so many blunders came to be made.
The book is entitled the Anatomy Of
the Mass" 1t consists of 172 pages,
and is accompanied by a list of errata
of Is costly-printed pages. The au-
thor, in his explanation, attributes
the mistakes to the devil, who, hesays,
first caused him TO drop the manu-
script in a ditch, and thus made it al
most illegible; and, secondly, by be-
fuddling the printers, made them
commit number of blunders never
equaled in work of thatsize.

Japan In 8 Now LIght.

Now that Japan is on the brink OF
replacing her currency on the exclusive
gold basis, we presume that we shall
no longer be worried with fearful vi
sions Of her growing industrial suprem-
acy, which was alleged to be due to the
silver standard. It was affirmed that
whatever goods Japan sold in this coun.
try, being paid for in gold, practically
doubled the sellers income when the
proceeds were converted into silver.
And this tremendous advantage the Jap
anese now relinquish.

The Church In Politics.

A startling message comes iron
Salt Lake stating that Presiden
Woodruff speaking at the Mormon
conference this week, used the fol
lowing language.
The day has come when tn,
mouths of MILFORD Woodruff, Geo
10. Cannon, Joseph Smith and tn,
II apostles should not be closed
God Almighty requires you t.
unite i'll your temple work ane
unite in your politics. You should
unite to elect your city council ane
all the state organization. Yor
must put aside democracy and re.
publicanism and, as Latter Day
Saints, unite and you will not be
taxed to death"
If that means anything it means
that political lines are to be obliter.
ated among members of the Nor.
mon church and that they will
unite in solid body to control the
state and make it subservient to
the church. To those who are &C.
quainted with the great power of
the Norman priesthood over their
people, this announcement comes
with all its forceful significance.
To the people OF Idaho it means
that six populous counties will
pass entirely into the control of the
Mormon people, aye, 1t means
more than that if followed out to
its ultimate end, it means again the
old and bitter anti Mormon fight.
The men of Idaho will not tamely
submit to the full fruition of the
edict las Latter Day Saints unite"
1t is to be sincerely hoped Presi-
dent Woodruff can explain a way
all that his declaration portends,
and that even though it is not
the Mormon people
will not be dragged back into the
rut that has caused them such dis
aster in the past Boise Sentinel.

True Citizenship.

The Caldwell Record of las,
week affects to sheer, because the
Tribune takes the ground that q
strict compliance with constitu.
tional law is essential 10 good
government. We can endure speers
based upon such grounds and
cheerfully invite them. We are
simply plain, American. We be-
lieve the voice of the people is the
nearest thing earthly to the voice
OF God. When the people of
Idaho adopted constitution we
believe they did it in sobriety and
earnestness. We stand ready to
respect and uphold the result of
their work while exercising the
prelogatives of sovereigns. The
Record may not have much respect
for the dictum of the American
people. Possibly the laws they
enact bear heavily upon it at times.
We cheerfully abide by the letter
and the spirit of the fundamental
law. and take the position that
the disrespecter of the constitution
and the supreme tribunals is a
traitor to his country. Caldwell

h;u Governor Steunenberg is of

a.uuted he trippe ed merrily up the
steep fight of steps, followed by

in order to get on the water tower
and view the seen e to the best adj
vantage. On attic mpting to pass
over the grounds they were
brought to bay by chubby red
headed little girl, who bravely in
formed tllsm that they were tress-
passing on private grounds. Here
was an unlocked for dilemma. All
hands appealed to the little miss
for chance to go up in the tower,
and with twinkle i'll her eye she
finally consented TO oblige them.
She was accompanied by little
"6ce" dog, which kept close to
her heels, but had a knowing look
as though there was some fun
ahead that the thr ee populist Off
Gals from Idaho was not "on'' to. |
There was. When State Treas
urer Storer opened the door Of the
water tower, out plunged a big |
bull dog, who made directly at the |
chief executive of the Gem of the i
Mountains state. This seemed to
be the cue for the "fce" to play |
his part and the frowsy canine
made carom on the trousers of
Secretary Lewis with a visciousness
that startled that official. The lit
tie red-headed miss put in her time
bringing the bull dog to terms, and
finally muzzled him before he had
aunihilated the governor, and safe
from further attack, the party got
upln the tower to view the scenery.
They say the scene was enjoyable,
out there was little too much dog
in it for comfort.
