There is a curious little tale about
Captain Bagot, NJ. P. for South West

those superstitiously inclined. 1t is SAID
that, some generations ago, witch
cursed Leyens Hall, the seat Of Captain
Bagot, and said that there would be no
direct male heir to the estate as long as
the Kent-the river which runs through
the prounds-howed. Such has indeed
been the case, until in 1895, when.
owing to the severe frost, the Kent was
for a time, entirely frozen up, and few
months afterward Mrs. Bagot presented
ner husband with little boy.-London

Register establishment. Our
postOfice may be coming; and i
it ever does arrive, We too may
acquire the luxury of fine Eaimen'
and the art ofwearing it. The Reg
lister in fine scorn asks, how do we
know that Hawiian annexation is
the popular and rightfUl thing.
Our process of getting accurate
knowledge has lately been very
simple. We first find out what
Mr.. Dubois says and the Register
repeats, then we are dead sure
the reverse is true. No charge
for this recipe. The Register
offers to wager that MFR. Dubois
could convert us to his views in
go minutes if we would listen 10
him. Possibly he could IN much
less time by judicious employ
ment of the substantial arguments
peradventure, determined
his own convictions. However,
we are glad the Register came so
promptly to MIR. Dubois support,
for it removes any lingering
doubts we may have had on the
Hawiian question. We are never
quite sure we are right until we
end Ourself in antipOdal relations
with the Idaho Falls Register.

THE PARWaMlMO POwER.

During the last state adminis-
tra:ion. it was currently talked
that Mcconnell was trying
through the Pardoning power, to
dePcPulate the penitentiary. 1t
seems new that the present board
are going to out Mcconnell, Nc
Council himself. Of what use
indeed are the courts if sentences
are thus to be ruthlessIy set aside
uaIess new aRd extenuating evil
dence is brought before the board
that did not develop at the trial.
One man shoots another
through the back and gets IS
years, but is pardoned at the end
of six years.
One man beats another to
death with ashovel and gets three
years, but is pardoned in a few
months.
Now comes an effort, yet un-
decided, to pardon forger, and
worst of all the board is wasting
valuable time considering a par
don for a man ~ from Bauuock
county, who, after a most sicken-
ing trial was convicted of incest
with his family of daughters.
1t would seem to an ordinary
observer that either the pardon |
ing power should be curtailed, |
from the President down, or else
abolish the courts. |
Turn them loose, from bank
to insect fends, that
the inhuman devils can 20 back |
10 their nefarious crimes.-Boise

They had a riot in Havana
the other day, when a hundred
Spanish officers headed a mob Of
citizens in sympathy with the
Spanish cause who destroyed the
plants of newspapers advocating
the Cuban cause and beat the
employees. The Spaniards have
an intease hatred of everything
American, and when aroused as
upon the present occasion, do not
hesitate to show it. Appearances
became SO threatening that
Americans were in danger and
flocked to the United States con-
sulate fer protection, The Presi-
dent at once took steps to have
the Key West and White squad
rous ia instant readiness to steam
to Havana, and the United States
will at once intervene should the
situation demand it. In the pres

cipitste war, il which case Spain
will receive a richly merited casti
cation from her uncle Samuel.

THE REGISTER sMoTE u

Our usually amiable and estim
able contemporary, the Idaho
Falls Register, is deeply dis
tressed over what it fancies 10 be
an attempt at belittlement of the
Hon. Fred T. Dubois; and with
cOmmendable zeal rushes to the
defense of its injured idol. We
admire the Registers spirit and
do it no more than exact justice
by paying a high compliment to
its powers of stimulation. One
unacquainted with its genius
would readily mistake its staging
for genuine passion and convict it
OF virtues utterly repugnant to its
nature. 1t is pleased to call THE
tribune a liar, as though lying
were hateful to the Register,
when all know that the grace
with which it distorts the truth is
the brightest ornament of its
character. In confirmation of its
impeachment of THE TRIBURE's
Veraclty, the Register declares
that we wouldn't know what to
do with a forty dellar suit of
clothes if we had it. Is it not un-
kind in our wealthy and pamper-
ed rival to thus tlaunt our rags
before the public gaze and ieer
at our poverty? Was it gener-
Gus to wiring from us the humil-
iating confession that we never

in our sensibilites. The holes in

THE PHILOSOPHY OF REFORM.
The action Of the estimable

THE PHILOSOPHY OF REFORM
The action of the estimable
gentleman who compose the
Board of County Commissioners
for Canyon County, in the mat
ter Of public printing, must fill
with JOY and praise the heart Of
every true reformer. Last jan
uary the Honorable Board eluded
responsibility by swearing before
God that they were ignorant of
any bid save the one of Steunen-
berg Brothers, which was az
copied; and the Hon. Dug Knox
gave weight to the force of his
affidavit and color to his integrity
by declaring that had he known
there was another and lower bid,
ne would have voted fol its ac-
ceptance. This very upright
gentleman will now be obliged to
torture some faculty other than
his robust ignorance or delicate
Neracity when he undertakes to
explain why the Board again
awarded the printing contract TO
the highest bidder. But FORUM
ately for the consciences of these
eminent reformers, the difference
between the bid accepted and the
one rejected is only triling
matter Of two hundred and sixty
per cent, a mere bagatelle. The
methods of the Board should APP
peal with irresistible force to the
economical instincts of the tax
payers of this County; not only
IN respect of awarding contracts
but also in the business of special
elections. The value of reforms
may not be measured by the be-
nefcent works actually consum-
mated, but rather by the number
and character of the sanitary
introduced and com
to public notice. The
political orgauiza-
lions had progressed no further
in the art of public plumber than
to modestly reward their faith
full supporters. This was the
work of amateurs in corruption.
The master stroke remained for
the finished artists, who, in the
name of Reform and Purify
cation, despoil their constituency
for the benefit of their avowed
and most violent ira >
aucers. This is new departure
ia benevolence. When the Saw
or rejected the old Mosaic law,
'an eye for an eye and a tooth t
or a tooth. - and commanded tbo+
good should be returned for evil, i
he Jews thought the last ex-
remity of moral obligation was /
exceeded. But now comes a new &
IT revelation which by practice c
transcendentaI philos- k
'phy, for these latter day reform G
RS would practice the supreme /
Christian virtue even though they a
upture the Decalogue and rob q
he community in doing it. !;
