THE Times Reuiew is after our
Senators because they voted for the
Dingley tariff bill, and claims that
this State has not been benefited,
but rather damaged by the passage
of the act. We are inclined to think
the law is more of detriment than
an advantage to Nevada, but the
Republicans have told US all along
that high protective tariff was a
sure cure for all the ills that allied
the country. Silverites have claim
ed that the money question was
paramount, and that enough money
to conduct the business of the coun-
try on a legitimate basis could not
be obtained except by the free coin
age of both metals-gold and silver.
The Republicans have the reins,
and we believe it is good policy to
let them drive the rickety old tariff
chaise to the end of the road. Had
Stewart and Jones prevented the
tariff bill from becoming a law, if
it was actually in their power to do
so, the sa me old cry would be made
during the next campaign that the
tariff had not been given a chance
to show what good it would do the
country. As it is, we have a tariff,
a good stiff one. 1t will benefit a
few in Nevada to the disadvantage
of the many But before the next
presidential election it will be dem
onstrated, we believe, that q tariff
will not bring genuine and lasting
prosperity to the country. The mat
ter will have been given a fair test
by that time. and if it fails it will
make many converts for the Silver
Party. Ii it brings prosperity that
is all we want. Let Us wait and see.

PRESIDENT ANDREWS. who was
forced to resign his position at the
Brown University because he be-
lieved in and argued for the free
coinage of silver, has been asked to
withdraw his resignation, and it is
said has refused. The Cosmopolitan
Magazine has undertaken to estab-
lish a college wherein a broader
education can be obtained by those
whose duties or lack of means ex-
clude them from the universities,
and DR.. Andrews has undertaken
the presidency of the new institu-
ton. AS no charges of any kind
will be made to students by the
Cosmopolitan, it is just like such a
man as DR.. Andrews to accept such
position. He is man all

HANNA is paying speakers to
stump the State of Ohio for Coxey,
the middle-of-the-road Populist
nominee for Governor. The boss
thinks by this means he can turn
enough votes over to Coxey to in
sure the election of the Republican
gold bug ticket. Poor Coxy has no
more show of winning than the last
time he ran. He is only assisting
the Republicans in their attempt to
beat the silver forces in Ohio.

THE Republicans of this State
are fixing up a Silver Party ticket
for the people and to their own lik-
ing Two states have been put in
the field, and an election will prob
ably be held next month or the
month after, and the bother of the
Silver Party putting up a ticket
done away with. The only man
the Republicans seem to think will
be elected on their Silver ticket is
Eugene Howell. They want him
by all means, according to the Re
publican press, and would probably
be glad to get him out of the Silver
Party. And still, there are others.

dug from the wall Of the building and
probably destroyed. What his
motive could have been is
hard to determine and the only
conclusion that can be arrived at is
that it was pure vandalism prompted
through ignorance and visciousness.
The prison board and Coy. Steunen-
berg deny that it was with their consent
or knowledge that the tablet was re-
moved but unless they rebuke che van
DIAL who did it, the people of the State
will believe that they sanctioned the
outrage. If there is not some stop put
to such outrages the next thing we
may expect to hear will be that the ex-
saloon keeper, gambler and tough who
poses as warden by appointment of
of the prison board of Idaho, win turn
the prisoners loose and destroy the
buildings, simply because the McCon-
mel administration erected them at al
most 40 cost to the taxpayers of the
State. Moscow Mirrow.

ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF
METHODTSM.

Last Sunday the pastor of the Boise
Methodist Church said: Methodism
was born in John Wesley's heart on
the oath day of May, 1888, when his
heart was changed and he had the con-
scious knowledge Of the fact May IL,
1888, the first corner stone of Meth
odist church was laid. November of
the same year an old foundry in Lon
don was bought and Mr.. Wesley formed
what was called the United Society"
The first Methodist conference was
held in June, 1744 Methodism thus
born was and is peculiar in the doctrine
taught and in its form of government
Having always put emphasis on assur-
ance and perfection, her government is
not congregational, Presbyterial, nor
not strictly Episcopal, but the three
forms combined. Unlike other churches
she has travelling ministry. and yet
we do not travel as often as other
churches. Every church has a pastor,
and every efficient preacher a charge.
One hundred years ago we had SO
preachers and $1,000 members, now II,
600 preachers and 100000 members
Then no parsonages, now 10, 600, the
most extensive publishing house of a
religious character in the world, $50 in
stitutions of learning with so, DOC
students, and 30 deacons, homes and
hospitals. We have 145 annual
organizations included in the plan OF
Episcopal visitation. One fourth OF
all our growth has been in the last
twelve years.

az THE PEOPLE.

If memory serve correctly, the COM
blned forces Of Populism and Democ-
racy carried substantially every county
in this State last November, and at this
moment nearly every Office from road
overseer to Governor is held by an issue
OF that alliance. 1t certainly cannot be
said, then, that Idaho is not governed
BY the people, because the popOcrats,
according to their own solemn declara
lions, are the people, the whole people
and nothing but the people, The Boise
Sentinel shrieks: "What rot 1t all is to
talk about this being a'Government by
the people," OF course the Sentinel
refers TO the National Government, but
the point is this; In what respect is
Idaho any better governed than the
average State? For arguments sake,
admit that generally speaking this is
not "a government by the people" ex-
cept as regards Idaho. Has anything
TRANSFERRED here since the people took
control to indicate that it would be
better for the country If every State
were governed as Idaho is2 Did the
recent legislature distinguish itself in
patriotism, integrity aud craftsmanship
very much above any one OF Il other
State legislatures? Are the people
here enjoying any better local govern
ment than the people of Maine or
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or Con.
necticut? Are the road overseers, con-
stables, justices, commissioners, sher-
ifs, clerks, assessors, judges, treasurers,
and other precinct and county officers,
elected last fall, men of superior quail,
ityP Are they so devoted to reform
that they cheerfully submit to econom
zeal measures when those measures
effect their own pockets2 These are
of the people! Why then are they cou-
spring together to establish the inva-
iiidity of law which reduces the bur.
den Of taxation2 The Sentinel viii
not deny that Idaho is governed by
the people. Il will not deny that this
State is now absolutely under the do
miniOn Of the people and that the
officers elected last fall were the free
choice Of the people, and as nearly as
possible those officers are representa-
tive Of the honesty and patriotism of
the peonle. Then JONES aud Perkins
are fair samples of the people of Ell
more and Blaine counties; the legisla-
tive iuHtst to Salt Lake City was a
manifestation Of popular sentiment;
the fight against q reduction of Official
salaries IS the voice Of the people speak
ing through their chosen mouthpieces

PEoPLE WANT ID KNOW.

The County Commissioners may not
be well advised in respect of public
sentiment therefore it is but proper that
they should realize that the people of
this county want TO know q few things:
First. did the Commissioners see and
reject THE TRIBUNg,s bid to do the
County printing at two cents line be-
fore agreeing to pay steunenberg Bros.
~ cents. Second, why the report Of
Assessor Horn and Clerk Dunbar was
substituted for the report of the inves-
tigating committee employed by the
Commissioners. Third, after consider
able errors were discovered In the as.
sessment books OF 1895 and 1896, what
the grounds were upon which the Com
missioners refused to order an investi-
CATION Of the books Of 1898 and 1894
when Irregularities were shown to exist.
Fourth, why Mr., King voted against
an Investigation after admitting to
Mr.. Peterson that an Investigation was
necessary. Fifth, why Clerk Dunbar's
proposition to make the Investigation
ii the Commissioners would give him
an additional deputy during the work
was rejected by Messrs King and Knox
The commissioners are certainly. able
TO satisfactorily explain those thing;
and the people are entitled to know
them. It would, therefore, be much
better for all concerned If clear anG
comprehensive statement were made
The very fact that there has been ar
air OF secrecy about those proceeding
provokes evil suspicious and does (
great deal more damage than a com
plete exposition Of ali the facts pos
sibly could do. In conclusion is it not
true that If the corrected report Of thu
investigating committee had been &C
cepted, the County would have been in
debted to Mr.. Horn instead of Mr.
Horn TO the County2 And If true
why did SfF. Horn pay into tho Count.
$24lp Another thing; II Clerk Dun
bar did not present THE TRBUNE'
printing bid in the manner in whiel
all business is placed before the board
and in its regular order, may he no
iuggle with other business in simila
manner, and, ifso, is he proper pcrsol
to serve as Clerk of the Board 0
County Commissioners? Two mem
bers of the board have made solemn
oath before God that TIE TRIBUNE
bid was never presented; that the
were not aware Of its existence. Cler'
Dunbar is willing to make affidavit
that 1t was presented; that it wa
sneeringly rejected. Who Is guilty Q
perjurg?

1t really seems as though Caldwell
were going to have tho grandest Fourth
Of July celebration in Idaho this year
The citizens have contributed literally
and all hands are taking hold to make
the day a splendid success. The Cen
eral Managing Committee has selected
all the necessary sub committees and
in few days operations will begin in
earnest. 1t is hoped and expected that
hundreds Of people from neighhoring
towns will be in attendance. Nothing
does more good, than an occasional
stirring up of the broad American
spirit.

PEoPlE WAN TO MUCH.

Just now the State press is iudustri-
ousIy discussing the fight that is be-
ing made to invalidate the fee bill and
considerable indignation is expressed.
The Lewiston Tribune, one of the
reform union" papers, says:
Tic beginning and end Of it all is that the
favorite officials Of the people will fight and die
in the last ditch before they win give back one
atom Ct the power and profits that the public has
bllndly submitted to year after year. The Tribr
une says now that there will be no substantial re-
trenchmcnt, no satisfactory reduction Of public
expenditures, until the people unite in move
ment strong enough to overwheIm the opposition
Of organized ofIiciaiism to the cause Of just and
economical government
We were under the impression that
the people did ''unite" last fall and act
ually kicked all the rascals out. We
can't understand this thing at all. Is
it possible that the "forces of reform"
the "fFiends OF the masses" are as great
rogues as the blasted goldbugs2 Are
not the "faVorite officials of the people"

and is to lp Should patriots of such
high order be stigmatized as "organized

chewing the names of Octopuses and
smashing organized plutocracy? Why
shouldn't they Idle in the last ditch?"
Why should they give back one
atom ?" Is not the world and all its
glories theirs to have and enjoy? Peo-
pie expect too much for their money,
They filled the public offices with high
priced reformers, then attempted to cut
down wages and not expect that the
reformers will not kick. The people dc
not understand the true meaning of re-
form. They are impressed with the
idea that it has some application to loca
government. That is all wrong. Il

bugs, roar at Wall Street, howl at cor

THE WORK OF 4 VANDAL.

Although the demo. pop state admin,
istratiOn of Idaho has only been In
power little over FIVE months it has
furnished a record of vandalism which
is without a precedent in the history of
the country. Not satisfied with their
attempts to besmirch the good name
and destroy the fame of their prede-
cessOrs, an instance is furnished at the
penitentiary where warden Charles
Van Dorm mutilated the administration
building in order to take from the view
Of the public the names of the men I'M
der whose administration the buildings
were erected. In the walls of every pub.

engraved on a marble tablet the names
of the officials under whose administra.
ton the building was constructed, and
when the state penitentiary buildings
were constructed the name of GOV.

were placed on a marble tablet which
was inserted in and became part of the
wall in the entrance driveway. This
tablet the warden of the penitentiary

THE people of Oregon arc Rgitating
for 'union of reform forces" to reno
vate State and county government, re.
duce taxation, purify public life and do
divers and sundry other things needful
to be done. And they propose to do it
all with "union of reform forces"
but what's the use going to the trouble
to coagulate another liquid stream of
reform. We have here in Idaho a
"union Of reform forces" all complete
and in working order. If they want it
over in Oregon, nobody is going to re-
fnse it to them. Come over neighbors
and get our union, it will renovate your
State and County government in no
time, We don't need it anymore.
We've been renovated enough and
salivated, too.

Of Idaho can consistently cast their
eyes on Washington, proclaiming we
are more holy than thou, they ought to
be able to make a little better showing
at home.
