The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-11-05

THE statement that Judge Hey
burn is not a resident of Idaho, is
too ridiculous to merit serious
consideration, and only tends to
show the well grounded fear of
the man as political antagonist
and opposing candidate. MI.
Heyburn's home is at Osborn,
Shoshone county, Idaho, where
he was registered in September
of this year by a Democratic-P Pop
ulist registrar. Because he and
many other Idaho people are for
tunate enough to own property
in Spokane surely does not make
them lose their lights as citizens
of Idaho.

THEY CAN'T HELP 1T,

Did you ever notice how I'M
reasonable people get during po-
litical dog days? Under normal
conditions the people of Idaho are
generally regarded as industrious,
intelligent and fairly honest, but
now, all the Populists are de-
scribed as fools, all the Democrats
as liars, and all the Republicans
as knaves, and the Prohibitionists
would be denominated hypocrites
if their number was considerable
enough 10 cut any figure. Why
can't people be reasonable and
just about these things? What is

TIE STATE TICKET.

1t is matter of prime impor-
lance to publican voters that in
conducting their county campaign
they do not lose sight of the
superior claim of the state ticket
and of state and national issues.
If the present state campaign
means anything for Republican
voters, it means that the success
of the state ticket is of the very
first importance. 1t means that
as far as Republican voters can
assist in making it so, it must and
shall result in electing a Repub-
ican governor and all the State
officers, including Idaho's next
member in the national house of
representatives. If it was a proud
boast in olden days to be called a
Roman citizen, surely every Re
publican should glow with pride
of party when he remembers that
the present national administra-
ton has placed our country in the
fore front of the nations of the
earth.

IN these political times the

all know that among Populists
are some sensible people, among
Democrats some truthful men,
and among Republicans some
honest folks; well, why can't we
be fair and just and give to each
political class the credit to which
it is entitled? We Americans
pride ourselves on being great,
broad gauge people, Jealous for
the right and patriotic to fault;
yet we cannot differ with each
other on mere distractions with
out turning to and abusing each
other like pickpockets. There is
nothing large and broad about
that. The Populists believe in fiat
money and government ownership
of railroads. They can't help it
and they have as good a right
under the organic law to believe
that as Catholics have to believe
in the infallibility Of the Pope.
You can't Backyard them into
different faith. Be fair and Just,
respect their right 10 believe any
thing they want to, and after
while they will see what folly is
theirs. The Democrats believe in
free trade and cheap labor; that
is their weakness, It is a veneer
able tradition, handed down from
the halcyon days OF slavery. For
merly the southern states were
composed Of two castles, the white
lords and the black serfs. The
whites were all Democrats be-
cause they did not believe in lib
erty for all men, irrespective Of
race or color. They believed
that black men were created to
work and white men created 10
boss. They didn't pay anything.
The true value Of any commodity
is esteemed to be its actual cost.
The actual cost of black labor
was hoecake and hickory shirt.
The Democrat was bound to be-
lieve that that was all it was
worth. When he came to en-
ploy white labor he wanted to ap-
ply the same rule. He encoun-
tered difficulties and blamed it to
the protective tariff, but his iudg-
ment told him it would not do to
fight tariff because it made high
wages, SO he shrewdly started at
the other end and began to de-
it because it made products
high. Having been boss so long,
the Democrat was naturally self {
willed and self-contained. Any /
thing that detracted from his per- {
sonal dignityor immediate interests |
must essentially be wrong, The !
tariff was altogether favorable to :
The hired man and against the !
boss, hence in the eyes of the a
Democrat it was villianously i
wicked system. He was afraid, I
hough, to frankly state the real !
cause of his dislike, SO he preached
against protective tariff because it
enhanced the price of products to
he consumer and fostered mo-
1opoly. After preaching along t
hat line for many years he ac- :
ually lost sight of the original ;
orovocation and began to believe a
n his own subterfuge. Then he I
ook hold of his doctrines by the r
all and did as Munchausen did
With the wolf, pulled it inside out. G

CITY DARK FOR 4 TIME.
Accident at Electric Light Plant Af
fected Are Il1uminatOrs.

An accident at the power house Of the
United States Electric Lighting Company,
at. 14th and B streets northwest last night
caused the extingnishment of every light
on all the circuits. AS result, the avenue,
from the Capitol TO the treasury, was
shrouded in darkness, the street arc lights
sputtered out, the electric light advertising
signs were mute and black, and some of the
theaters were inconvenienced by having to
resort TO gas.
One Of the pipes that supply steam to
the dynamo engines at the power house
burst about 500 o'clock, and filled the sur
rounding space with steam. At the same
time a large section OF the broken pipe
fell and struck corner of the SWITCH
board, cutting off the lights In the power
house. The accident was attended by
tremendous crash of glass from broken Win
doWs, and all the employees fled to the
yard. The machinery continued to revolve,
but in the complete darkness it was neces-
sary to cut off all the currents in order to
fe-entef the dynamo room and make the
repairs necessary to the steam pipe.
Before 10 o'clock everything was running
as usual again. None of the men in the
room where the pipe burst was injured,
though the switchboard attendant was only
a few feet from the pipe as it fell. The
Columbia. Lafayette and Kernan's theaters
having their own dynamos, were not at

the delay in reliehtng being only the time
necessary to clear the dynamo room of
the escaping steam. With the exception of
the short space of time Slluded to. there
was absolutely no interruption Of lighting
and today everything is running as usual
at the power house.
President Norris stated today that the
present capacity of the new power house is
24,UoO lights, with an additional 1000 that
may be available by the use of the large
storage battery, which is always ready.
Prior to the accident the normal capacity
of the new plant was 10000 lights. The high
est maximum load ever carried on the sys-
TEN was something less than "a 600 lights.
Should such an immense load fall on the
plant at the present time there would yet
be 1000 lights to spare, to say nothing of
the entire reserve capacity of the old sta
ton. The repairs to the switchboard will
require hut a few days,

hhSton during this cool weather as went
there when the days were hot. The grounds
are as beautiful as ever, and the sunsets
are unusually fine. Sunday continues to be

where Gen. Lee formerly lived. The only
direct route TO Arlington is the electric cars
which start from the Aqueduct bridge
These cars make the run in good time, are
comfortable and most convenient to all Sec

Of thousands Of women in the United States.
The initial women's movement is to take
organized form In this city at a meeting OF
the Presbyterian Women's Board Of Home
Missions, on December 20, in the Presby-
terrain building.
There are a hundred thousand members
of the Presbyterian Home Missions Socierv
alone in the United States. The Home Mis-
sion Societies of the Congregational and
Baptist churches are preparing to make a
similar campaign against Roberts, and the
womens societies of other denominations
are becoming interested in the fight. 1t is
intended that all shall cooperate. The
Congregational Home Missionary Society
will take the matter up at meeting to be
held at the ST. Denis Hotel In January
This movement Is not TO be confined to
missionary societies, but is to be started
through them as convenient way of
arousing interest over the entire country
The women are to give information re-
garding the Roberts case and the supposed
danger Of the revival of polygamy, and to
unite in obtaining personal letters to repre-
sentatives in all districts throughout the
country, protesting against the seating of
an avowed polygamist.

Somebody has thrown a shadow on the
plans of Tammany and the tip has gone
out that no report on sites and terminals
may be expected before June or July OF
next year. This sudden twist in affairs Is
said to have been caused by wholesome
fear of legislation at Albany next month,

division of spoils for the insiders. BY

sioner Shea is disposed TO admit that moth

the delay will be caused solely by inability

FIRE AND POLICE PROTECTION.
Request Made by North Capitol and

The following communication. received bv
the District Commissioners from Mr. Theo.
7. Moore, chairman of the North Capitol
and lexington Citizens Associations com
mittee on fire and police protection, has
been referred by them to the electrical en-
gineer:
Il am instructed by the North Capitol
and lexington Citizens Association 10 re-
quest your honorable body to direct that
fire alarm box be placed at or near the
corner of ID and r streets northeast
There is but one fire alarm box in Eek
ington-No. 61S-and when this section was
visited by q destructive fire night of De-
cember 2 this box was found to be out of
order by Policeman John Pearson of the
eighth precinct, who had noticed the fire
and hurried to the box to turn in the alarm.
Finding that the box would not work Po-
liceman Pearson rushed with all speed TO
No. u engine house corner of North Capt.
tol and Quincy streets northwest about
five squares away. Fortunately the watch
man of No. II engine company had noticed
the light, and he immedia tely turned the
company out "On the light and notified
the fire alarm headquarters, who struck off
box 61S by hand, before the policeman ar
rived at the engine house.
Had there been another alarm box in the
neighborhood much valuable time and pos
siby property, would have been saved
In this connection, and in view of the
frequent mention by the press of boxes fail
ing to work: would it not be well to have
a more frequent inspection of the boxes of
the fire alarm service?
IF the fire alarm service have not suffi-
cient number Of men for a daily inspection
of the boxes would it be asible to have a
fireman detailed each day, from each COM
pany in the District to tap in and test
the boxes TO which their respective com
panies respond on the first alarm.
The mere fact that when a box is needed
it should be found in perfect working order,
would seem to warrant a daily inspection
of the entire system"
