PLEASANT REFLECTION.


The report of the condition of the
First National Bank which appears in
this impression affords occasion for
pleasant reflections. La May 1893, be-
fore the panic, aud according to present
ideas an era of good times, the total
bank deposits in this town was 1921
The statement published today shows
that at the close of business on the
18th, deposits in the First National
alone, amounted to S275,640, an in.
crease of Sl4S,538. Monday the Gath, a
TRIBUNE representative was informed
by Cashier Sebree that the deposits had
increased about S25, 900, so that taking
the condition at the close of business
Saturday, %, the figures show that on
that date about 100000 was on deposit
in the First National. But now there
are two banks in this town and a visit
to the Commercial Bank disclosed the
fact that that institution had ON deposit
$46,S04, at the close of business, Satur-
day, May %. 1t is thus seen that since
May 1898, the money on deposit in
Caldwell has increased in round num-
bers from $4,000 to S34S, 900, at the
rate of over $4,000 year. This is
certainly most satisfactory showing
in town that has been subject to all
the influences of the severe financial
depression which has prevailed in the
country. In addition, the assessed
valuation of the town is increasing.
The conclusion is therefore irresistible
that in spite of hard times the aggre-
gate wealth of the community is con
stantly expanding i'll all directions.
These are certainly hopeful signs and
should inspire confidence in the most
conservative. The thing next to be
done is to turn attention to the devel-
opment of the surrounding aud tribu.
tary country. Near by Caldwell is a
large area Of tillable soil which should
be put into productive condition, and
this is really the problem which at
present confronts the people of Cald-
we'll We are now too much depend
ent on trade which is uncertain and
shifting. The growth and prosperity
of the town is largly due to indus
tries which are not particularly identi-
fled with Caldwell, and the business
resulting from which may at any time
be turned in other directions. In order
that the town may so on increasing
in population and substantial wealth it
needs backing of local producers.
Let our energetic and enterprising
citizens recognize this fact and act
upon it, and not only will the bank de-
pOsits continue to increase but the
growth of the whole country round
about Caldwell win be proportionable
to its business.

EARLY SPRING EPIsTLE,

The Hon. Martin Patrie, Chairman
Of the Silver Republican party in and
for the commonwealth of Idaho is out
with an early spring, Drumhead- Savoy,
epistle, injected into the political arena
between spells, as it were. Between
promulgating epistles and cultivating
Senator Dubois lucerne patch, the hon
orable chairman must be very busy
mana modern Cincinnatus, who, at
his country's call, drops the imple-
Inents of irrigation and rushes into the
field of epistolary literature. 1t fills us
with pleasurabls emotions to know
that Mart. has lost none of his native
vim or rhetoric His opening salute is
directed at the ''union of reform forces
in this architecture: "1he mercenary
and utterly selfish trade made between
the Democratic and Populist managers
the carrying out of which through the
methods necessary for the its success
full completion, has disgraced the State
and injured its standing and credit with
all right thinking people" Mart's in
tellect appears to have become so com
pletely absorbed in agriculture that it
escapes his memory how awful hard he
tried to force himself into that "trade;"
and even after he and the party he
represents were cast out as unfit and
unelean, he chung to the head represent
atiYe of the nefarlous transaction and
is responsible in a measure for his cleo
tion. III Mart could only remember the
narrowress of his escape, how unutter-
ably grateful he would be to the mer-
coHary combination which kicked him
out body ana boots aud thus saved
from tarnishmenC the eiiulgeut glory of
his name. After disposing OF the
Peoples Democratic combine, the
epistle addresses itself to an apotheosis
of Fred Dubois and makes an elegant
job of it. Listen to this senator
Dubois is recognized everywhere in the
United States as among the ablest,
most honorable and upright statesmen
in the Union" Shot what's the use of
putting any limit ON a statesman like
thatp Why not say in the whole
Universe, and make it strong and
rich? Yet Senator Dubois, in
moment of youthful incontinency,
stroVe for two long days to get
into bed with that "mercenary" gang,
the very thought of which now
makes the patriotic breast of the Hon
Orable Martin Patrie rage with iudig-
nation. The more one looks into this
matter, the moro keen is his sense of
the miraculous escape the manager of
the Silver Republican party had. But
Mart. is on his patriotic ear now; he
was possibly on his political uppers last
fall and so was the greatest statesman

with admiration of this early, Drum
head Savoy epistle, that we must have
time to regain cOmposure before at.
