In one of the many glass cases in the

story.
During centennial year Congress re-
solved TO provide the necessary funds
for the completion of the monument
which up to that time had been work
ell at only while the several smaller ap
preparations lasted. 1t was discovered,
however, that the original foundation
was likely to be incapable of sustaining
the enormous weight of marble neces-
sary for carrying the shaft 800 feet
above terra lirma. \ new foundation
was therefore needed, and architects
thought Il solid concrete bed 100 feet
square and nearly IT feet in thickness
would accomplish the strengthening
desired.
During the operation of replacing the

one morning a few months after
these careful precautions had been

anxious throng below that an owl in
seeking shelter in the lofty tower had
somewhat managed to catch It's wings
in the thread and WAS still hanging
there, suspended to the interior of the
monument. and innumerable happings
and struggles of his owlship had all
been recorded by the index as tcsti-
mony against the stability of plumb

1t is thus shown that during the first
year Judge Stewart was on the bench,
the public had to pay less than half as
much for court expenses as formerly.
The total cost of the preceding six
years was $4S, 42759, an average of
$8,07L26 year. The cost for the year
of Stewards administration was
$3,S1l,S5, only Al per cent of the aver
age of the previous years of statehood.
The figures of the present year have
not yet been made up, nor have any
itemized figures been furnished from
other counties in the district, but the
record has been the same throughout.
In every county the court has been run
at greatly reduced cost, and the people
in all sections of the district who keep
track Of such things have been pleased
beyond measure with Judge Stewards
administration.
1t is not only in saving money for
the public that Judge Stewart has been
conspicuously successful; he has made
a great success as a trial judge and is
recognized as one of the very best
judges that Idaho has had. Itrequires
peculiar qualifications to become a
good judge; these Judge Stewart DOS.
sesses in a remarkable degree, and as
a result he has made a record on the
bench that has seldom been equalled
in this state.-StGte8man.

NEEDS a GUARDIAN.

In a communication in the Re
cord ]. B, Wright makes the as
sertion that wool reached the low
est point in 1892 known in the
history of the country. Local
sheepmen here claim different.
They say the lowest price they
received for wool during 81 was
II cents per pound and some of
them claim they received II cents
1t was in 'o3 during Cleveland's
administration that wool went out
of sight. During those prosperous
Democratic days wool sold
here in Caldwell for S cents per
pound. The differences between
S and II cents is evident, Mr..
Wright should post up on the
history of his country. 1t is true
that wool did drop to some ex-
tent in 1899, but it was inmed-
lately after the November election
and it was known that Cleveland
was elected. The prospect of
free trade and Democratic rule
knocked the bottom out of every
industry in the country and it was
during those days that Idaho
farmers were selling their wheat
at from ~ to IS cents a bushel.
People who willfully make such
ignorant statements of political
conditions as are being made by
some Idaho people ought to be
looked after by their friends.

School SunerIntendent.

By the refusal of Miss Georgia Nc.
Farland to accept the nomination OF
county school superintendent, the Re,
publican county central committee
have substituted her name with that of
Mr.. D. A. Clemens, of Lower Boise.
Miss Netherlands reason for not &C
eepting the nomination is that she is
at present engaged in teaching school
in this city and does not care to give
up her present position.
The selection Of Mr.. Clemens by the
committee to fill the vacancy is, in our
judgment, a wise one. Heis a thorough.
ly competent and Efficient man for the
position and commands the respect and
esteem OF the great majority with
whom he is acquainted. Mr.. Clemens
was born and reared in the state of
Tennessee. He is a graduate of Marys.
vile, Tenn, college and also from the
Lane Theological Seminary. He also
held the position of principal of the
Huntsville, Tenn, academy for seven
years. Mr.. Clemens came to Idaho in
June, 1895. He is a competent and
intelligent man and the TRIBUNE
hopes he win receive the support he is
entitled to.

Upon the whole, we believe
the Republican ticket Of this coun-
ty is made up from the best men
Of the county. The TRIBUNE
has made up its mind that
every candidate it supports shall
be worthy and honorable man.
We are not going to make any
mistakes knowingly. We are not
going to say to the people of
Conyon county this is good
man, entitled to your suffrage, I'M
less we know we are speaking
the absolute truth. If any scrubs
are to be elected we don't want
them elected by the Republican
party. We would rather other
parties have that honor. If there
is a man on the ticket of doubtful
quality we are not aware of it.
In our opinion they are the best
men Of the county, and we be-
lieve the best interests of the peo-
pie demand their election. The
Republicans are in their campaign
on principle. They have SO an
nounced it all over the state.
None but men of principle should
be permitted to represent them.
The Republican party wants no
scrubs and will have none.
