HOW THEY LOOK TO HIN.

The editor of the PocatellO Tribune
mas enjoyed the privilege of visiting
the Idaho Legislature and this is how
it occurs to him:
"A couple of years ago The Tribune
advocated the nomination of Frank
Fem for governor, 1--WE have done
penance for that folly and it was the
delight of certain papers in the state
at that time to say that he was s'the
ornerlest looking man in the state. +"
In this legislature, however. Fem is
almost lily in beauty when comDared

ooUNTY PRINTINo.

Elsewhere in today's TRIBUNE will
he found some interesting facts in con-
nectiOn with the now somewhat no
torious County printing business. The
only comment we desire to offer is this /:
Either Messrs Knox and Peterson have
perjured themselves or w. G. Dunbar,
Clerk of the Boald of County Com
missioners, Is totally unreliable and ir-
responsible. Mr.. Dunbar has in the
last two years made su excellent
record as a careful, methodical and
painstaking Official. Every citizen
who has had occasion to transact bust
ness in his Office, and with whom we
have conversed upon the subject, says
emphaticalIy that no more careful and
accurate man was ever seen in public
Office. That exactly comedies with
the opinion Of Mr.. Dunbar which THE
TRIBUNE entertains. Then in our
Judgment it is a simple question of
veracity and upon that point we desire
to say that If all the County Commits.
sioneFs in the State should swear
themselves black in the face, it
would not shake our faith in Mr.. Dun.
bars truthfulness. We believe Mr..
Dunbar's statement in toto and before
the end comes we feel confident that
every respectable and intelligent
citizen in Canyon county will believe
as we do.

KEEP COOL.
subject.

1t goes without saying that a great
majority of the readers Of THE TRIB.
UNE are thoughtful and conservative
people; yet the best Of us are liable
to get off on the wrong foot. There,
fore, we desire to caution them against
going to extremes on this Cuban ques-
ton. In the nrSt place about nine
tenths OF the reports Of Spanish atrocity
in Cuba are utterly Enthusiastically. In
short the alleged correspondence from
Havana and other places in Cuba are
sensational fakes. A short time ago
long account was given of insults to
the American Consulate in Havana.
1t was said that the American flag was
torn down and trampIed upon by
Spanish officers. Naturally that story
created great Outburst OF indignation
throughout this country. Consul Cen
eral Lee omphaticallY denounces the
whole story as fabrication and says
that the Americans in Cuba have uni.
fOrmly been treated with respect and
courtesy. Next came the report that
two American ladies had been stripped
on board a steamer and searched. 1t
was lie. Nothing of the kind occur
ed. Then a sensation was created over
the imprisonment Of one Sanguilly an
alleged American citizen. The report
said that he had been subjected to the
most inhuman barbarities by Spanish
authorities. The chances are that San.
gully never saw a foot of United States
soil and that the naturalization papers
he holds were originally issued to some
other Cuban who discreetly remains in
New York or some other American sea
port while his beloved Cuba is bleed
ing. We probably all of us believe that
Cuba ought to be freed from the Span.
ish yoke. Many Of us may feel that we
would like to lend the struggling pat
riots material assistance. No doubt
Cuba has suffered terribly at the hands
Of Spain, but let us not get excited over
It, The Government at Washington
still lives and 10 better able to Judge of
what should be done than many of us
who are naturally more capable but
have not enjoyed so many OppOrtuni-
ties. Therefore, let US keep cool. Let
US try to remember that few years
ago We had something of an insurrec- |
ton in this country and that we did |
not like it a bit when outside nations
lntOrfered with their acknowledgements
Of bellOgerency and Independence. We
warn you to keep cool; because If you
DO not you are liable to say things that
a few weeks from now would sound
very silly and which, II you value your
reputation for good sense, you will
wish you had never said. There IL no
'ush about this Cuban business. If it
'e Gods will that Cuba shall be a free
md independent state, so will it be.

FURTHER LIGHT.

1t IL impossible to contemplate the
miserable wretch, JONES of ElmOre,
without rejecting that a decent and
self'reSpscting community could never
have elected such 4 creature to public
office. Society may be deceived by
shrewd but dishonest men, but society
can not be imposed np0a by Grass stu
pidity and palpable yillainy. The peO-
pie Of Gilmore county are responsible
for JONES, and whether they relish II
or not will have to endure much Of the
odium which he reflects. 1t is dis
cOuraging to think that there is a
county in this state where moral and
mental decay have progressed TO that
point where JONES becomes rspresen.

IDAHO FALLS EDUCATION.

Says the PocatelIo Tribune: Last
week Prof. Wells, principal of the Ida
no Fail Schools, whipped a son of
School Trustee Clark and thereupon
Clark and an older son went to the
school house with the express intention
OF licking the Professor, 1t however
was nOS the Professors fighting day
and the two Clarks cursed him to their
hearts content. The schOolboard has
adopted resolutions upholding the
course of Professor Wells and branding
the actions of the Clarks as unworthy
OF honorable gentlemen or good citizens.

original offenders in the dirty business
are the people of Elmore County who
voted for JONES and thereby confessed
that he is the psrSonification of their
virtues. The offenders in the second
degree are the men who hired JONES to
execute their damnable purpose. Who
are theyP THE TRIBUNE believes that
that part ~ the JONES affidavit which
refers to Perkins and Fuller is true.
We believe that JONES received money
from those men, but we do not believe
that those men used their own money.
The indications are that Henry Heit-
field furnished the money but there is
also room for a suspicion that certain
so-called Mckinley Republicans were
Cognizant Of the excursion to the Hot
Springs and that they knew what the
object of it was. We have no good
grounds for charging that money was
put up by Republicans, but if respect
able citizen were to testify that it was,
it would require strong evidence to
shake our faith in that respectable citi-
zen's testimony. The belief in our
heart is that from motives of personal
prejudice and hatred, certain McKin-
ley Republicans in collision with
Henry Heitfeld conSpired to bride Rep
resentatiVe JONES. Afterwards, GER
tain Dubois Republicans in collision
with Populists and Democrats succeed
ed in hiring the pitiful wretch to con-
TESS the first bribery. JONES himself
puts it thus graphically: 81 was paid
$3.50 to vote for Heitfeld and then paid
$1,000 for swearing to it. Why shouldn't
l do itP My conscience is now clear
and leave the whole matter in the
hands of the dirty scoundrels who
worked up the business. That
sounds like the rawlings of mad man.
but there is truth in it. 1t must not
be thought for one moment that the
men who bribed JONES to make con-
fessi0n were inspired by any better
motive than the men who bribed him
to vote for Heitfeld. 1t was simply
the result of close business competition.
After JONES vote had been secured
for Heitfeld, the opposition embarked
in the enterprise of neutralizing that
vote, not for the purpose of accom-
plishing any public good, but in order
that grounds of contest might be laid.
In word the whole business amounts
to this: Some Republicans who pinned
to defeat Dubois conspired with some
POpulists to elect Heitfeld, and, some
PopulistS and Democrats who opposed
Heitfeld and pined to unssat him con-
spired with Dubois friends to do it;
and in both cases bribery was resorted |
10 and the miserable, pitiful wretch,
JONES, was made the common tool of |
