holds true with this sheet. During the
last cOmpaign, some enterprising
gentlemen visited Colorado, Utah.
Montana, and Idaho, and succeeded in
raising fund for the publication of a
newspaper at Chicago, of $4,000.
These same gentlemen went to Chicago
Immediately thereafter, organized them
selves into publication company, and
at their first session voted $4,000 of
this amount to themselves as salaries,
which with Office expenses and incid.
entails substantially absorbed the pat
riOtic offerings of the silver men of the
West. The paper eked out a miserable
existence until after the campaign was
closed, and then suspened publication.
Recently a numcer of bimetallists of
national reputation mot III Beaver, and
arranged for the raising of money for
the propagation of the cause of free
silver. AS soon as their object was
accomplished this newspaper tramp
removed to Washington, and has now
made its first appearance, Vol.1, No. l.
In the editorial salutatory of its editor,
he remarks that it may be a continual
ton of the Chicago paper or it may be
considered as a new publication, in
other words "put your nickel in the
slot and take your choice" 1t is safe
to say, that as long as there is any
plumber in sight this journalistic tramp
will be omnipresent. Your correspond

money in sight at the present time, and

fifth day of the session, the Auditing
Committee appeared for the third

the adoption of the report filed
in behalf of Jake Horn and
it was promptly done. This adjust

conference, although the Commission
ers seem to disclaim it. However, we
happen to know that it was the result
OF secret understanding which was
so secret that it would have bursted one
honorable commissioner had he not let
1t out. We might inquire of the Com
missioners about that "1919," but those
are esoteric figures. Now, we submit to
the people of Canyon County If they
are satisfied with this sort of juggling.
Ii so, well and good. THE TRIBUNE is
quite ready to drop the matter, cry free
coinage and be popular with the
masses. We say that there are reasons
for suspecting irregularities in the as
SCISSORS Office in 1893 and 1894. We
do not say there is anything wrong;
We sincerely hope there is not, but if
not, can an investigation do anybody
any inJuryp We have before us at this
moment statement of facts which, if
true, it seems to us warrants a most
exhaustive investigation. we might
publish it, but then it is easier to curse

The people by trying to protect the |
taxpayers. We may yet publish it;
probably will.

FARMER DUBOIS.

According to the Blackfoot News,
ex-senator Dubois return to Idaho
Should occur about the first of this
month. lie has ranch on Snake river
and intends putting in about 200 acres
OF alfalfa. He will also purchase 800
mead or yearling steers, and prcsum-
ably, go into the ranching and farming
business upon permanent and exten.
siye scale. TIE TRIBUNE believes
that great majority of the people of
this State will cordially welcome the
return of Mr.. Dubois and be glad that
It is his intention to permanently settle
in their midst. Laying aside political
differences, there eau not be otherwise
than friendly sentiment towards him.
lie has been for many years the most
conspicuous figure in Idaho, and un.
questionably the most notable repre-.
sentative we have ever had in Con.
gress. In a purely political sense. he
probably has made warmer friends and
bitterer enemies than any other man in
the State, But the feelings of enmity
which grow out of political differences
should be confined to their legitimate
sphere. 1t is a narrow person who can
not appreciate the virtues of his polit.
lcal opponents and admire the man
while disappearing his politics. Idaho,
upon the whole, is proud of Mr.. Dubois
and will be glad to see him succeed in
his new enterprise. He will certainly
be most distinguished farmer and an
esteemed citizen of the commonwealth,
which largely to his efforts owes the
fact of Statehood.

THE MIDDLE.

Last week THE TRIBUNE published a
news item relating the fact that Mr..
q. A. Hand had served notice upon the
County Commissioners that he would
appeal from their action in refusing to
grant the petition of William Ireton
and others praying for thorough in
vestigation of the assessment rolls of
1861. In the published article it
was intimated that Mr.. Hand made
strong statements indicating that an
investigation ought to be had, and 1t
was said that TIE TRIBUNE had al.
ready heard enough to warrant the
belief that there were things which
needed explanation. In this whole
controversy The TRIBUNE has strictly
avoided showing any Partially. We
have felt no prejudice. We haYe not
particularly urged investigation, but
we have felt all the time that If any
investigation was had the interests in.
solved, public aud private, demanded
that it should be thorough. The inves.
tigation conducted by Messrs Handy
and Ollie has only served to mystify
the public. In their report submitted
in March, they claimed that they had
discovered errors which showed Elk
Assessor Horn to be short $1,000. For
some unexplained reason, this report |
was Withdrawn and a report made by
another set OF experts was substituted. |
The second report was recommended
for adoption by the experts who had
submitted the first one. Upon the face
OF the record the situation is this: An

Coanty Commissioners and paid by

MUST WORK BOTH WAYS.

The Paris Post deprecates what it
considers an attempt on the part of a
correspondent in the Malad Enterprise
to prejudice the authorities at Wash
ington against Mormon applicants for
Federal favors" The Posts attitude is
eminently just If its premises are cor
rect. Every American citizen has an
undeniable right to worship God &C.
cording to the dictates of his own con-
science provided his methods of wor.
ship are not in contravention of any
civil law; and the question of religious
faith should not be permitted to cut
any figure whatever In politics either to
mans hurt or advantage. However,
IT standing in the Mormon or any other
church shall be deemed good ground
upon which to base a recommendation
for political preferment, then with
equal justice it may be urged as a
ground of opposition. This rule must
work both ways. If we have correctly
understood the Enterprise correspond
ent, he takes the position that Mr..
George G. Parkinson has been recon.
mended for Federal favors" solely be-
cause of position and influence as a
member of the Mormon church and
that that is not valid ground upon
which to base recommendation.
This is a very different proposition |
from the one laid down by the Post,
It is as II one person should say, be.
cause Mr.. Parkinson is the president of
stake in the Mormon church he is
'or that reason not entitled to superior
consideration and to which an
'ther would say, position In the Nor.
non church is legitimate ground for
hyperion consideration in matters of
'Olitical preferment. The Post is right

SLIGHT ANAoHRoNlsMs.

TIE TRIBUNE is not unmindful of
the many excellencies of the outgoing
city administration. 1t levied upon

ficient amount of taxes to pay off the

preserved the peace and dignity of the

able, however, that IN the closing DAYS
OF a satisfactory and creditable minis
try it was induced, by too great desire
to expedite public business, to do some
thing which may expose It to unkind
suspicious. Having the ordinances all
nicely compiled, and and printed in pamph
let form was M admirable stroke Of
civic administration, but unfortunate
that the ordinance authorizing it should
figure as mere after thought. Upon
the whole, it might have been better to
have officially authorized the work first
and have it executed afterwards. Sup
pose, after the compiling and printing
was all carefully completed, the council
had been sliced with an ofTish spell, it
might have created an awkward situa.
tion. Anticipating the action of an
Official body sometimes distigures the
record. The adoption of Roman in
lieu Of Arabic numerals was Ito doubt
polite but the policy of setting forth
in ordinance No. SO. bearing date of
April q, that the ordinances, "as herein
amended and published shall be and
shall constitute all the existing ordi
nances of the City of Caldwell passed
and approved prior to april 49," may
be questioned. We hope, however, that
upon careful investigation it will be
found that the proceedings in connec,
tion with the compiling and printing
of the ordinances will not utterly in.

made for the hurry and excitement in
cident to closing up the career of an
active administration, especially when

ALL HOLLOW, HOLLOW!

A circular letter to Thomas Jetfreys
from the state school superintendents
office shows how some of the new state
officers are roaring over retrenchment-
the platform upon which they were
elected. The state superintendent
writes to County superintendent jeff
Teys that inasmuch as the legislature
made no appropriation to his Office for
the printing of questions for the ex-
animation of teachers, he will not pre-
pare the questions during his term, and
send to the counties as usual, but each
county superintendent must get up a
list of questions for his own examina-
tions. The lack of appropriation may
make it necessary for each county su-
perintendent to get the questions print
ed, but we cannot see how it abrogates
the duty of Mr.. Louis N. B. Anderson
to prepare them or have them prepared
and sent out from his Office. The law
makes it his business TO Go this. and
how is he going to avoid it? He might
not have them printed, but there is
plenty of time and he has clerk who
could type write twenty one copies of
each set of questions and send to the
counties from which the local superin-
tendent could have a sufficient number
printed to fill requirements. Lack of
printing appropriation did not relieve
him of this part of his duties. Is all |
this cry for retrenchment all hollow |
sound ?-Weiser Signal.

In saying that mans religion should
not be urged against him and the En-
tsrprise correspondent would be right
in saying it shall not b urged for him,
or if urged for him might be urged
against him. In reply the Post may
justly proceed to adduce proof going to
show that Mr.. Parkinson's position in
the church has had no influence in Sc
curing him recommendation, An easy
and proper way Of doing this is to show
that he has performed distinguished
and valuable services in behalf of the
Republican party; that he is entitled to
consideration by reason of superior
qualifications or by reason of any other
fact connected with his public and
political career as a citizen and Re
publican. The Enterprise correspond
ent pretends, at least, that Mr.. Parkin-
sons public record of meritonous SER
vice is a blank as a citizen, and as a
Republican, considerably worse; and
fails to discover anything that could
possibly be urged in his favor except
the fact that in the Mormon church
he holds a position of ecclesiastical
consequence. Therefore, the CORES.
pondent assumes that the recommenda.
ton Of Mr.. Parkinson rests upon his
position and influence as an ecclesiastic.
The Post makes a good point by citing
that Mr.. Parkinson was nominated by
the Republican convention as a Presi-
Dental Elector. 1t remains for the
Enterprise correspondent to show
whether or not that nomination was
made In recognition of Mr.. Parkinson's
position in the Mormon church. 1t
strikes us that this correspondent has
shown little too much spirit in this
controversy. but his right to oppose the
appointment of Mr.. Parkinson is abso
lutely as unquestiOnble as was the right
of Senator Shoup to recommend it.
Senator Shoup in making recommends
lions Is supposed to represent the
wishes of the Republican party, and
any Republican has equal right either
to acquiesce or dissent. 1t is not in
cumbent upon any Republican to
smother his objections because, by pro-
claiming them, he may cause party dis.
sentions. The old cry of keep still, or
1T will hurt the party" is worn out. It
was the inspiration of bossism. When
ever Republican feels that he is per
sonally aggrieved, his party or the
public injured, by the political conduct
OF any member Of the party, it is his
right, it is his duty to protest openly
and publicly. Let him make his fight
in the broad daylight and not stink
about III the shadow and darkness, or
resort to bewailing what he has not the
courage to oppose. AS to making
serious trouble in the party, Senator
Shoup was as much under obligations
TO avoid that as anybody else. The
seems to be that an extremely
.mpolitic course has been pursued in
of appointments. A few men
nave assumed ownership of Federal
patronage and are dispensing it as hap
pens to please them best. If their plan
makes trouble, with them must rest the
responsibility, for they made it. If
recommendations were made through
authorized party committees, as of
light they should be made, there
would be no danger of a party
mash up. Rules must always work
10Th ways.

ONE of the most interesting and en-
terprising features of the inter. noun
tain journalism of the day is a series of
articles and photographs running in
the Salt Lake Tribune, under the title,
Fifty Years Ago Today" The articles
are made up from the diaries of the
Utah pioneers and tell just what hap
pened to them in their migration across
the trackless plains from Council Bluffs
to Zion. Each article is ACCOMPANIED
by photograph of some one of the
noted pioneers or cut descriptive of
life upon the journey. The articles are
timed to correspond with the same dav
30 years ago. To one who has seen
many of the faces reproduced and ex.
perienced some of the things related
inAtheir diaries, it is all sweetly, sadly
interesting. These articles are peculi-
arly timely as appearing on the eve of
Utah's great semi-centennial Jubilee.
which will be celebrated on the Gath of
next July.
