Idaho convicts Released.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 5.--f large
number of convicts incarcerated in the
Idaho penitentiary are turned loose
upon the people before many weeks,
1t will be the fault of the recent de-
clsion of the supreme court, nullifying
majority Of Idaho's laws.
Most Of the criminals sent up since
1898 We're convicted on information of
the district attorney, without grand
jury indictment. The act providing
for infornations, passed in 1891, is said
to be unconstitutional under the
supreme court decision, and habeas
corpus proceedings will be commenced
shortly which will unquestionably
secure freedom for number of the
men.
the matter will come up first as an
outgrowth of convictions at the pre-
sent term of the district court in this
county. The legislative records on
the passage of the information act
show that the constitution was sus-
pended by unanimous consent on the
passage Of the bill, the supreme court
holding that an aye and nay vote to
suspend IS mandatory and any act
passed otherwise is unconstitutional
Persons convicted under indictments
cannot secure relief.

anee after three months of travel and

says:
Wheat has risen because the for

The fact that silver and wheat have
parted company will cause no dismay
TO those who understand that the law
Of supply and demand regulates the
price of both.
IF the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the high price of wheat they
must assume the responsibility for the
