of the right temper, the shameful and
criminal proceedings which have dis
tinguished their representatives would
never have occurred. But in any event,
IL the people had that high regard for
public decencY and public in
tegrity which they ought to have,
the JONES confession would have
thrill of horror sent through
the State which would have mani
tested ITSELF in indignant protests
from every town and village through
out the commonwealth. These would
have been made in such form and
force that the legislature would not
dared to permit JONES or any who
were suspected of completely to enter
the State Capitol until a thorough in
vestigatiOn had been made and justice
done. But the people laugh at 1t as q
huge joke and then turn about and yell
themselves hoarSe for reform, denounce
the gold bugs, hurl anethemas at cor
porations, shed tears over mOnOpOlies
and marvel how corruption and vice
are permitted to exist and flourish.
We tell you there never will be any sub
stantial reform as long as villainy in
public office is coddled with charity or
temporiZed with excuses. The wretch
who is poor and hungry and cold and
dirty has something Of a justification
for crime; but the man in public Office
has no excuse whatever. No plea that
\ he can make should be considered in
mitigation and in every instance the
extreme penalty shonld be promptly
applied. But as yet people do not look
at it in that way. A poverty stricken
ignOramus steals a saddle blanket and
the body polite is instantly in a fer.
ment of indignation; the pOnderOu'
mechanism of justice is put in motion
and the wretch is crushed. A fat
sleek and wellpaid official steals q
thosand dollars and at once society setl
about the invention Of mitigating ex
cuses. lie is good hearted man; but
he is careless. lie didn't understand
the law. lie means to be honest but
somehow or other slipped cog. o.
he is a crank and ought to be sent tC
the asylum. Such are the abundant
excues offered for official corruption
but the poor, half,starved, half,witted
devil who steals plug OF tobacco is g
natural born scoundrel, menace tC
society, a disease and a contemplation
and must be locked up. There viii
have to be some reversal of popular
sentiment before there is much rea
progress in reform.

Looks HOPEFUL.

Senator WOlcOtt has returned from
his European mission and announces
that he is highly encouraged with the
result of his visit. He says that an
international agreement on bimetal-
ic currency is not only possible but
probable and that he believes it will be
accomplished if the United States
takes prompt and vigorous initiative.
We apprehend that there will be con-
siderable opposition to the establish
ment of international bimetalism, but
yet there are powerful forces at work
in its favor. The conditions in India
have changed many European minds
and caused some pronounced English
mOnOmetalists to entirely revise their
views. There are reasons for firmly
believing that Senator Wolcott's hopes
are based upon substantial grounds,
and there is plenty of occasion for
thinking it highly probable that during
the first two years of the Mckinley
administration bimetalism will be re-
established on q Arm and enduring
basis. This is what all western Repub-
licans deVoutly wish for and the hope
of it no dount encouraged thousands
to vote for Mckinley, Protection and
Reciprocity and International Bimetal.

The Legislature adjourned early last

the honorable body is dispersed and no
body seems to regret it. 1t is too soon

but this much may be said with fair
ness and safety; the better element was
not much In evidence. 1t will be sOme
some time yet before the laws enacted
are published and charitably disposed

gard free silver IS the paramount ques-

given expression to some real sensible
views. He says the silver Republicans
will not antagonize or attempt to OBJ

willing to support the administration

SYNOPSIS OF THE INAUGURAL

Economy, Bimetalism, Protection and
Acknowledgements In Session Is
Not Dangerous and South No
Longer Divided
The following is e synopsis of Presi-
dent McKinley'S inaugural address
which outlines the policy Of the new
Administration:
"Bimetalism will have early and
earnest attention. A constant endeav-
or to secure it by cooperation with the
other great commercial nations of the
world.
"The seVerest economy must be OBJ.
served in all public expenditu les, and
extravaganza stopped wherever it is
found, and prevented wherever in the
future it may be developed.
1T has been our uniform practice to
retire, not increase. our outstanding
obligations, and this policy must be re-
| Sumed and vigorously emf creed.
Between more loans and more rev.
| enuO there ought to be only one opin-
ion. We should have more revenue.
and that without delay, hindrance or
postponement. Asurplus in the Treas
ury created by loans is not n safe or a
permanent reliance.
THE best way for the Goyernms Mt
to maintain its credit is to paw as it
goes, not by Tesorting to loans, but by
keeping out of debt.
"The country is clearly opposed to
any needless additions to the subjects
of internal taxation, and is committed
by its latest popular utterance to the
system of tariff taxation.
I'm the revision of the tariff especial
attention should DO given to the re-
enactment and extention of the reci-
prOcity principles of the law of 1890.
"COmmendable progress has been
made Of late in the upbuilding Of the
American navy, but VIC must supple
ment these efforts by providing as a
proper conEort for it q merchant mar.

ing trade to foreign countries.
1T will be our aim to pursue a firm
and dignified foreign yolicy, which

of our national honor and always in

lawful rights Of American citizens
everywhere.
II do not sympathize with the senti-
ment that Congress in session is dan

the people, and their presence at tho
seat Of Government in the execution of
the sovereign will should not operate
as an injury, but as a benefit.

nothing to be done that will arrest or

NEW PROGRAMME.

Within the last ten days a complete
change has taken place in the per-
sonnet Of the National Administration
ut Washi gton and It was all done so
smoothly and quietly that twenty
miles from the seat Of government no
body noticed that anything unusual
was transpirihg. While events as por
tentous as the dethroning Of the great
est ruler that ever lived and the crown
ing Of his successor, were progressing,
the affairs OF the country moved on
without jar or ruffie. A few years ago,
rs the lives of nations are calculated,
such thing could not have occurred
without the overthrow of a dynasty
and the establishment of a usurper on
the ruins. or surety this is govern.
ment Of the people, by the people, and
for the people. Congresses, Presidents
and Cabinets come and 60 as events Of
but ordinary, every day occurrence. A
few weeks Of campaigning with wind
and paper as the only implements of
attack and defense, a few weeks Of
rest, then little more noise, little
bunting and a short Introductory
speech, brief fOrSwell, and the Unit
cd States has undergone change in
gova lment almost as complete in its
physical structure az was ever brought
about by years of war, bloodshed and
devastation What have the American
people to hope from the change they
have wrought The promises of the in.
coming administration are ample and
straightforward and if fulfilled every
reasonable expectation will be salts
ned. President McKinley's inaug-
uration speech is an indication of what
we may expect from his administra-
tion. The programme set out may be
summoned as follows: Strict econ.
Omy in government expenditures, debt
paying rather than debt.making in the
management of our fiscal affairs, bimOt-
alism by international agreement. pro-
tective tariff and reciprocity, an Amer
lean merchant marine large enough for
our own carrying trade with foreign
countries, an American foreign policy
for the protection of the flag and
American citizens abroad, friendleness
and a respectful attitude between the
executive and legislative branches OF
government, and death to sectonalism
IL this programme is faithfully carried
out there will not be as radical a change
in government four yeBrs hence as hap,
pened week ago last Thursday
That may be depended on, because
there will be nothing to be desired.

ftld.
The scheme worked up by the Dubois
supporters for the unssating of Sena-
tor Heitfeld, and pushed forward
through the medium Of the poor half
witted JONES, developed yesterday by
the sending of the following telegram
to Washington, signed by the silver re-
publican members of the legislature
and a few sO.called democrats:
"The undersigned members of the
legislature of Idaho, now in session, re-
spectfully protest against Henry Heit-
fields being sworn in as Senator from
Idaho for the reasons set forth in the
protest heretofore filed and because of
the presence of fraud, bribery and cor
ruption in the election of said Heitfeld
as more fully appears from an affidavit
of Representative JONES, which has
been forwarded"
Later in the night another telegram,
as follows, signed by all members who
voted for Heitfeld, excepting Nelson,
Pugmire, bryan and JONES, and all
state officers except Governor Steunen-
