lessly insensibIs to public interests as
it might be. If the present legislature
could be induced to moderate its antip-
athy against capital it would be q good
thing, because the great natural re-
sources Of Idaho will never be deYel.
oped until capital undertakes the work;
and there is this popularity about capt.
tai which 1t is hard to comprehend, it
will not seek those fields which are un-
healthy for It. A capitalist is just the
curiOusest kind of a creature. He
usually has plenty Of money and is gen.
orally anxious to employ it, but, selfish
like, he won't invest q dollar unless he
thinks he can make more dollars by
doing It. Now, POpoerat is not
built upon that plan. If he have lot
OF money, he just explores the whole
country locking for some kind Of an
enterprise which will make every
body rich and respectable but
himself. One unfortunate conse-
quence Of this Popocratic pro-
chVlIy Is that ne never has any money
while he remains true to his politics.
However, this is depression. Idaho has
millions of dollars worth of timber
which she should turn into cash and
thus reduce the burden OF taxation and
build up and beautify her public in.
situations. The manufacture Of this
timber into lumber and the thousand
and one articles of wood ware which
people all over the world use would
create a vast Industry. It would give
employment to every idle man in the
state and would furnish home mark
ct for all our home products. In view
OF this, 1t seems to US that legislation
designed to induce capitalists to come
in and buy our timber would be an ex-
cellent thing. It would be just such
legislation as a Republican legislature
would naturally support and advance,
but we fear that Popocracy will fail to
grasp the situation and kill the bill.
hence 1t is wastful to stick type on the
subject.

COME INTO THE OPEN.

AS w. j. Mcconnell has been the
object of considerable newspaper criti
cism based on the supposed findings of
legislative investigating committee,
it occurs to us that if the said COM
mittee really desires to conduct a fair
and satisfactory investigation, It will
adopt different methods. In the first
place the investigation is being con.
Quoted secretly. Nobody, not even
members of the press, is permitted to
be present during the sittings of the
committee, Why should an inysstiga-
ton of this character be conducted on
the star chamber planP VIII not the
methods of the committee bear the
light of publicity Why is not WI.
Mcconnell called before the commit
teeP The committee is not grand
jury. Its function is not to find an
indictment. If there is a particle of
fairness and manliness in the compost
ton of the committee it will conduct a
fair, honorable and public invSstiSa-
ton. Is the committee afraid that the
process by which its conclusions are
reached is Of character that public
sentiment would condemn? If w, j.
Mcconnell. while occupying the ofiics of
Governor of Idaho, committed any
crime, he should be prosecuted and
punished for it. But he should have
fair and respectful hearing. He should
not be made the victim of q secret
'abal-a committee, il you please, that
works in the seclusion of dark0nsd
looms behind locked doors.

STATE TIMBER.

Without giving the matter much
serious thought it occurs to us that
legislation might be had which would
enable the State to secure great beno.
fit from the sale Of its timber lands or
the timber upon the lands. Thousands
and thousands of dollars worth of
timber is being annually destroyed by
fire and decay. This is a loss which
should not be sustained if it can be es.
capped. Furthermore, the time is ripe
for the exploitation of our natural re-
sources and legislation looking to de-
Velopment along any and all lines is
strictly in order. A Popocratic lsgisla-
ture is not usually good subject TO
operate upon when the object is the
Development of liberal and comprehen.
siye policies, but sometimes we think
that the Idaho article is not as hone. |

BUT THEY'LL 90 ON CUSSING
HANNA.

Last week the silver republican press
in this county, which is not over friend
ly to the demo. pOpuliSt members of the
state legislature owing TO Dubois, de-
feat, attempted to cast reflection on
these members by dropping a gentle
hint that it stood them in bad grace to
be accepting faVors from the railroad
companies after having voiced their
sentiments on legislation affecting
these corporations. These newspapers
evidently would have the public believe
that the demo pOpulist members
tumbled over themselves 10 their efforts
to be the first in accepting the courtesy
extended by the railroad companies for
members to visit Salt Lake last Satur-
day. 1t now transpires, however, that
the resolution to accept this courtesy
was introduced by a member who was
elected on the silver republican ticket,
and those members who remained at
home were all demo. populists. 1t is
safe to say that neither the Press nor
tho Herald will offer any furthur crit
icism on this action of the legislature.

FOR a REUNITED PARTY.

Several weeks ago THE TRIBUNE ad.
dressed itself to the Republicans of
Idaho irrespective of faction and laid
down what seemed to be q reasonable
basis for reunion of the party. Our
proposition, which we are glad to
note met with considerable favor, was
substantially this: That for the pres
ent all factions acquiesce in the policy
OF the National party to the extent
that every effort to advance bimetalism
through International agreement be
supported, and that no obstruction to
Republican tariff be offered. Then If
the operation of Republican. policy
failed to bring about satisfactory re-
suits, such action as the Republicans
of Idaho deemed advisable might be
taken in future. Last week an ad-
dress was issued by six Congressman
and six Senators which might be inter.
preted as Numerically opposed to our
views but which according to the in.
depreciation of Congressman Hartman
OF Montana is square in line with what
we proposed. Mr.. Hartman being one
of the signers Of the Silver Republi.
cans address undoubtedly gives
its correct meaning. While Mr..
Hartman does not think that inter.
national agreement can be secured or
that protection will restore pros.
psrity, yet, he is clearly in favor of
fair trial to secure the one
and restore the other. Respecting pro.
lection, he is especially clear and EN-.
phatic and speaks with authority. In
a word, the address of the Silver Re.
publicans is simply public notice and
confession that they can not comfort
ably abide in the Democratic fold,
neither are they quite at ease in the
Republican household as they now un-
derstand and regard the Republican
financial policy. That means that they
do not believe international agreement
can ever be secured They predict
that it will fail, but it must be held in
mind that their prediction will not
effect the result and it will be time
enough to take a stand on the issue
when the prediction has been duly YER
flied. This is exactly tho position taken
by TIE TRIBUNE. Let us give the Re.
publican party fair opportunity to
test their plan when if it fail, bimetal-
lists will be perfectly justified in propos-
ing and insisting upon some other
PLAZA. This is in our opinion the only
sensible thing to do, and we believe
that if the present administration fail
to secure international agreement and
fail to establish bimetalism by any
other means, that at the next national
convention tho gold Republicans and
not the silver Republicans will be the
boilers and their number will be few.
