NINE men out of ten wOuld give
much substance to have had the oppor
tunity recently afforded Frank Hart
kopf to do handsome and chivalrous
deed. When he discovered that Mrs.
Harmon had secured a large majority
of the votes for Councilman, why didn't
Frank gracefully propose that she
should take the long term? The op-
portunity of lifetime to make him
self solid with the ladies has passed
him by unimproved.

IRRIGATION DISTRICT.

For some inexplieable cause few
persons are disposed to work up oppo-
sition to the preliminary steps are be,
ing taken looking to a possible reorgan-
ization of the Caldwell Irrigation dis.
iri:t When people thoroughly under.
stand that the sole object Of the move
ment now on foot is to place matters
in such condition that the district can
he Eeorganized if the people desire to
do it, it seems to us that the opposition
will have very little weight with sensi-
bic men. One trouble appears to be
that here and there is found an indi-
vidual who is laboring under the i'm
preston that some honor or glory will
grow out of the movement and that he
will not get his share. We sincerely
hope that all such will try to appreciate
the fact that there is enough glory for
everybody in the organization of an IT.
rigatlon system that will tend to the
development and prosperity of the
country. Right now is the time for
every man who loves fame to get in
and by his works make himelf famous.
Considerable talk is being made about
excessive taxation and all that sort of
thing, That kind of talk is all for effect.
The taxation proposition is not up for
consideration now, and a tax can not be
imposed upon the people without their
consent. Nothing is to be done at the
election next Saturday bnt chose a
board of five directors whose business
it will be to thoroughly investigate the
situation. The directors when elected
win probably take steps to inquire into
the possibility and feasibility of pur-
chasing the Phyllis canal. They will
also ascertain the probable cost of con-
structiDg lew canal and make nee
essary inquiry into the matter of water
supply, rights of way; and in short pro-
coed TO secure ali tine data necessary to
enable the people to judge intelligently
as to what, If anything, had better be
done. IL people will use their own
good sense and pay no attention to the
idle pratings of jealous or otherwise
indisposed persons, they will at once
appreciate the wisdom of the course
that is being pursued. One thing may
be depended on, IL Caldwell opposes a
movement of this character, it will be
started in town where it will not be
opposed If people want to cut off
their own noses to crafty the spite or
envy of few persons, there is no law
to prevent It.

WHILE the Honorable, the Board of
County Commissioners, are in town, it
may be we'll enough to remind them
that another affidavit is due. They now
stand before the public in very awk-
ward and unenviable light. 1t would
have bad effect abroad to let sus.
picion, such as Mr.. Dunbar's statement
conveyed, remain fixed upon the name
of reform. The letting Of large con-
tract for three or four times the price
it could have been done for was a bad
enough job without aggravating it with
the Odor of perjury.

locations sent out by the government
are of the greatest value to the people,
and would be appreciated, and accom-
plish great deal of good, if they were
properly distributed. They are all ed.
vocational in character, and in their in !.
tent and scope. Some are of benefit to
farmers, others to miners; some treat
on topics of interest to laborers, and
others to professional men; some are of
value to educators, and others to Stats
ticians. A Congressman distributes
these works among his constituents to
the best of his judgment, and with all
the care he can exercise, yet innumera-
BILE mistakes are made.
l remember on one occasion when I
was mining in Alturas county, on a
barren mouDtainside, at an altitude of
between seven and eight thousand feet,
the Department of the Interior sent me
publication treating on hog cholera!
That work might have done farmer
some good had it reached him. In or
der to prevent mistakes of this kind,
new plan will be adopted for the distri
button of such literature as may be
assigned to the Idaho member of the
House of Representatives. The an
nexed list embraces the major portions
of the books and pamphlets now at
my disposal. Any of my constituents
desiring these works are entitled to Sc
lect the particular book or pamphlet
they want and communicate with me
by mail. If any one wants more than
one publication, they are required to
designate their first choice. If there is
enough to go around they will get what
they ask for, otherwise the first selec-
tiOns will be sent.
The adoption of this plan will entail
a great deal of labor on my Office, this
l am willing to assume, provided it
works successfully in the distribution
of such literature as is now, and may
be in the future, placed at my disposal.
Very respectfully,
JAMES GUM.

THE sincerity of pre- election pledges
and professions is aptly illustrated in
the fact that the officials in every
County in the State have combined to
fight the law enacted last winter to re.
duce fees. Seeing that about 80 per
cent. of these same officials are reform
ers of the first rank, the spectacle is, to
say the least, highly edifying. 1t may
after awhile dawn upon people that a
belief in free coinage does not neces-
sarily purge the human system of guile.

SENATOR SHoUP made grave mis-.
take when he recommended the man
Parkinson for appointment. We are
not able to fully judge the consequence
upon the Republican party, but it is
very apt TO be serious. If men are to
be given lucrative federal offices solely
because they are supposed TO be influ-
entail with the Mormon church, then
there IS going to be trouble. This man
Parkinson has no single claim upon
the Republican party or the people of
the State. He is utterly selfish and
wholly unpopular. He is possessed Of
no single virtue, OF even vice, that could
operate as a recommendation, from q
political point of view. He is a Re.
publican for what there is in it for
George Parkinson, and he viii be Dem.
ocFat, Popullst or anything else when
ever he can see that there is dollar to
be made by changing politics. If the
Republican party is to be run for the
benefit Of ecclesiastical dignitaries, It
might as well stop running, and prOba.
bly, win.

The Park Rhinoceros, Too, Coated Twice
q Year with Neatsfoot OIL.
Twice a year the elephants and the
rhinoceros in the Central park menag.
erie get a coating of neatsfoot oil, which
is thoroughly rubbed in with the palm
Of the hand. The oiling and the manip-
ulation cleanse the skin, remove the
dead skin, and open the pores, freshen
the animals up, and improve their
health, and they seem to like the proc
ess. The oiling is done only in the
spring and summer; if done in the win
ter the animals would be likely t take
cold from it.
The ~rhinoceros at the park is in good
condition and lively, and rather frisky
for SO big a brute. Sometimes it steps
about with a step hat is very much like
a dancing step, and likely to surprise
one who sees it for the first time and has
been accustomed to regard the rhinoc-
eros as an animal always slow and lum-
bering in it's movements. When the
~rhinoceros' cage is cleaned out, which
is done daily, the keeper first attracts
the great creature to n side with .
tempting mess of food. Then he slips
y AoosS VI rope over the anIH1aLs morn
and settles it down around the neck
and makes the other end fast around
a bar or two of the elephants cage ad-
joining. This is done to keep the rhi-
noceros from pitching into the keeper
If it should cake a notice,
The same %precaution is taken when
the rhlpoceros is oiled. The elephants,
however, knee1 at the word of COM
mand. 1t IS not necessary to plant 9
ladder against them in order to reach
the upper part of their sides in rubbing
in the oil.

TAUGHT HER A LESSON.

She TroDaDly round u New Place for

The other day a very estimable lady
came 10 tow to do a little shopping,
says the Atlanta Constitution. OF
course the key was put under the door
mat so that her son, whom she expected
to return before her, could get in. In
her absence a tramp, who had been
hanging around the place a number of
days and had caught on, boldly went
into h house, got some of the choicest
viands out OF the pantry, put them on
the table and pitched in. He also found
a bottle of wine that revived his spirits.
He did not expect anyone there for a
number of hours and so he took it easy.
In the meantime the lady of the house
having finished her shopping returned
home and, seeing the front door I'M
locked, expected to find her son inside.
Imagine her horror when she opened
the dining-room door and saw sitting
at her table the rustiest-looking tramp
that ever We'd with his companions in
accommodating dirt on his epidermis.
The lady was dumfounded. In the 81
lence that followed the tramp coolly re-
marked: Madam, L shall become

The Struggle for Liberty.

From the Kansas City Times.
The events taking place around lis
make this one of the most dramatic
periods in the worlds history. In the
colonies of Spain and Turkey the people
are rising in a desperate struggle for
liberty. By their revolt they threaten
not only the downfall of two old mon
arches, but also the ENHANCEMENT of
the European nations in a contest whose
consequences, long as the outbreak
event has been expected and feared, are
impossible to foresee.
The internal affairs of every nation
are characterized by the same element
of unrest. The anti-Moslems of Turkey
watch for the signal to rebel against re-
ligious and political prosecutions. The
CarllSts In Spain want only an OppOrtu-
nifty. The dissatisfied of other countries.
though being less oppressed and more
enlightened, their aspirations take an
other form than bloody revolution, are
scarcely less eager for change.
In England there is little desire for
reform, but the summary way in which
the people forced Lord Salisbury to
abandon his autOcTatic attitude toward
Venezuela, showed a strong determine
ton to extend popular government on
occasion. And the action Of the Lib
erals in d~isregarding precedents by
making a party question of England'S
policy toward Turkey, is no less signifi-
Germany, too, has her popular
movement. Aside from the socialist
propaganda, which has assumed such
alarming proportions as to drive the
government in defense to emphasize the
lmperiol power, there is the recent out
burst of indignation at the unlicensed
brutalism Of army officers toward civil
ians, which, though the emperor APP
proves the arbitrary actions of the aris-
tocracy, conceiving it the bulwark of
the empire, has forced him to favor
nominal reform.
Our own country also shows the pre-
sentiment. No dissatisfaction
of conquence is felt toward our form of
The complaint is hat it
has not been administered with suffi-
cient regard to the fundamental princi-
pies of liberty and equality. Conse-
in those legislatures whose
bears evidence of the strug-
gle for reform, scarcely a day passes
without the introduction of measures
intended to embody the instructions of
people. Even congress and those
in which the party of re-
form does not predominant, show I'M
both in the demands of the
minority and the apparent or assumed
of the majority, a realiZa-
ton that the people are earnest in the
determination to have reforms.

Russell Montgomery, who was q
popular cadet in the naval academy a

having failed in his examination, much
to tho disappointment of his father,
has disappeared and is thought to
