SOMETHING ELSE ROTTEN.

Recently the writer Of these
few lines has been charged with
publishing articles designed to in
jure this locality. There is Just
now running in the Record about
400 distinct items, each and every
one calculated to speak louder
and do more damage to the repu-
tation of Caldwell and Canyon
county than anything we could
possibly print. Reference is made
to the delinquent tax list. Those
people who are so tender of our
repute abroad ought to have sup
pressed it, by all means. In the
last election Canyon county cast
exactly 1850 votes for Represent
alive in Congress. Not over 50
per cent. of these were free hold
ers and taxpayers, so that the
actually number of resident names
on the assessment roll does not
exceed, perhaps, 1900. The de-
linquent list therefore advertises
to the world that one-third Of the
people of Canyon county are hav-
ing such tough time of it that
they are unableto pay their taxes.
We never said anything half as bad
as that. Now, up in Oneida county,
where the writer operated for
some IS years, and the population
is approximately the same, there
are only 20 delinquents, or one in
90. Some people might learn
something if they would sit down
and think all this over in an hon
est and intelligent way. There
is something rotten in Canyon
county besides the TRIBUNE.
Possibly the people are beginning
to get tired of paying taxes for
no visible purpose than the en-
ployment of deputies to do the
work for sainted reformers. and
for special counsel to patch up il
legal bridge contracts and for ex-
ira elections, and the hundred and
one other foll-de-rolls which the
union of silver forces has imposed |
on the county and state.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-05-28

Down in his heart no fair mind
ed citizen of this state will endorse
Governor Steunenberg's appoint =
ment of John w. Jones as Lieu
tenant Colonel of the Idaho regi-
ment, and the general hope is
that he will not insist on leading
the boys any farther than San.
Francisco. Col. Jones is sixty
years of age and withal a man Of
delicate physique. For active
military service he is utterly in
capacitated, and there can be no
justification for his appointment
except that he attained rank in
the Confederate army. Had the
Governor been a Union vet
eran and Republican, the APP
pointment of Mr.. Jones might
have been excused on the ground
that considerable sacrifice of i'm
mediate interests is justified in the
complete restoration of the Union.
And no worse motive could be
charged than a desire to do a
graceful and benevolent act at the
expense of the service. But as
the Governor has no record as a
Unionist, and politically is in sym
pathy with Mr.. Jones, he can lay
no claim to grace or beneVolence
in connection with the affair.
There are any number of brave,
active Democrats in Idaho who
were always loyal to their coun-
try who cannot help but feel that
their loyalty is at a discount while
distinction acquired in COnfeder-
ate arms commands a handsome
premium.

eastern fringe; in 1892, the small,
er, but none the less pretentions
organizations began to collapse
and in 1893, nine -tenths of the
survivors became moribund. Ever
since that time there has been a
succeeding and unremitting flow
of obsiquies. The boards and
chambers came into life with the
boom; they rode triumphant on
the crest of the boom wave, and
when the boom subsidized, they
scatterlophisticated. When there
is no boom on, there is no more
use for board of trade than for
horticultural inspectors on the
Klondike or bug books in Para
disc. Moreover, boards and chamb-
ers are subject to the same vicis-
STUDIES during a boom relapse as
are other institutions depending
for vitality on wind, and in order
to maintain the breath of life they
have been driven to extremeties.
In the latter days of the board and
chamber regime, some of the most
picturesque and resplendant lies
ever invented were promulgated
under their auspices. The boards
and chambers did not lie because
they couldn't resist, but because
they had to or give up the ghost.
They cultivated large fertile i'm
aginations and drew on them
until some of their effu-
sions rivaled Munchasen IN i'm
probability and excelled Don
Quixote in fantasy. Finally their
regulations for strict veracity be-
came damaged and their useful
ness was thereby sadly impaired.
The fact of the matter is that a
bad odor attaches to the name,
and we need not marvel that they |
tried to resurrect the Salt Lake |
chamber by calling it something
else. But an alias couldn't save |
t. 1t persisted, because, like the
all of man, its vocation was gone.

BOARDS AND sooMs.

The Salt Lake city chamber of
commerce has disbanded. Its
reason for doing so, as given, is
that the business men have come
to the conclusion that the whistle
is not worth the price. In other
words, there is no profit in such
an organization. Any one who
will put his finger on the bridge
of his nose for as much as s sec
onds, meanwhile concentrating
his thoughts, will be likely to
come to the conclusion that chamb-
ers of commerce and boards of
trade were revivifed under the
influences of the boom spirit of
1886. In 1887 they began to
flourish in all western cities of
consequence. In 1888, they sprout-
ed like mushrooms in every town,
village and hamlet from the Mis-
souri, river to the Pacific, and for
two years there was a regular
carnival of such bodies. Boards
of trade and chambers of COM
merce, which is all the same, rag
ed among men like the Grecian
bend previously ragged among
women. 1t was greater in that
day to be a president of one of
those organizations than to be a
Roman in the time of Julius Ca-
sar. In 1890, the fad began to
show symptoms of decline; in
1891, there was some mortality
among the institutions on the

WE believe it was Lord Byron
who had a dream, and every once
in a while change came Ger the
spirit of his dream. We, too.
had a dream with a changing
spirit. We saw two beings, one
wrapped in the glory of a great
Trans Mississippi exposition and
shining like Bartholdi's statue of
liberty enlightening the world.
The other being was reading
letter by the dim light of a taper.
1t was strange epistle and relat-
ed to the transportation of ex-
hibits. When the taper burned
low, and the contents of the letter
were hidden in the gloom, the
first being was resplendant; but
suddenly a bright light shone
upon the written sheet and a
change came DER the spirit of
our dream. Objected minds to
their deaf pillows will discharge
their secrets"

NORMAL CONDITIONS,

The excuse made by silver men
for the fact that silver does not
move upward with the general
range of product prices is that the
conditions are not normal. Now
the question is, what are the norm
al conditions? Evidently the sill
yer man thinks that no condition
is normal except the one which
supplies proof for his doctrine, so,
of course, that settles all argument.
If prices of commodities in gener-
al are good, but silver is down,
it is sufficient to say it results
from abnormal conditions. If
times are prosperous without free
coinage, why, abnormal conditions
accounts for that. If money be
plentiful, but 16 to I waning,
that's abnormal conditions. In
other words nothing can be right,
nothing can work according to
natural order that does not prove
the silver mans case. When
wheat is at 80 cents and silver at
so cents, that is normal, because
according to natural laws wheat
and silver must be cheap at the
same time. If times are hard and
there is scarcity and want in the
land with silver at 48, that is norm
al. If silver should take a rise in
the next year or two, and prices
remain firm, then, we imagine,
the gold bug would be- talking
about abnormal conditions, and
the silver man would insist that
the natural order of things was
being restored. The whole truth
of the matter is that no man liv-
ing has yet found out what is the
normal condition of the world.
There is no such thing. War is
just as normal as is peace. Fam
inc and pestilence are just as much
an established norm as plenty and
health. They have always existed
and probably always will. There
IS no such thing as normal prices.
Men can never get as much
IS they want for what they
nave to sell, nor give as little as
hey would wish for what they |
must buy. When a man has wheat |
o sell he wants to make $500 a
oushel normal, but when he wants
O buy it, 10 cents is about the
light thing. The existing condi-
ion of prices proves absolutely
hat prices go up and down with
'ut any reference to silver, Just
IS beef may rise without consult
ng potatoes. Times may be good
free coinage of silver and
possibly with it. 1t probably does
lot cut any figure one way or the
'ther, except possibly in a local
nd temporary way. Silver men
re hard pressed when driven to
he normal condition argument.

 They used their queues as lashes, which they piled upon our horses amid a storm of abusive epithets, and to im- pede our progress laborers threw their carrying poles and baskets across the street, directly before us.
