DEFoRD Is MODEST.
Will Not Seek Office of County At
torneY Again.

Ottawa, Aug. 26.-W. A. Deford has
returned from ST. Louis today and has
made the positive statement that he
will not be a candidate for county at
torney. He expresses great bitterness
toward J. B. Chapman, saying that he
was responsible for Chapman's appoint
ment and Mr.. Chapman has shown in
gratitude and dishonesty in opening a
fight on Mr.. Deford. Mr.. Deford says
he will not contest Chapman's nomina-
ton, but stick to his declaration in the
telegram sent to Judge Franklin saying
that he would not be a candidate. Mr..
Deford further said that whatever the
convention does, he'll support the ticket.

SCHOOLS MAY NOT OPEN.
Emporia Having Trouble Over School
Tax Levy.

Emporia. Aug. est is quite likely
that the public schools will not open
in this city this fall and winter, owing
to differences between the school board
and the city council, they being unable
to agree on a tax levy.
On August Is, the last day allowed
by law, the school board sent to the city
council a levy of Is mills on the dollar
the largest sum allowed by statute
This levy the council last night refused
to allow and passed a resolution agree
ing to allow IS mills. This the school
board claim they cannot legally accept
as according to the statute they have
no say after August Is.

polygamist to participate in

fuence will be felt before the con-
test is over. 1t seems to us that
the nomination and election of
Mr.. Roberts was not only grave
mistake but a misfortune from
which the people of Utah will
not soon recover, and the only
possible mitigation is the remov-
al, by expulsion or otherwise, of
the aggravating cause. Under
the circumstance, Mr.. Roberts
had no business to aspire to the
Office of Representative, the
Democrats had no business to
nominate him, and the people had
no business to elect him. But
they did it and the consequence
will be trouble, not only for Mr..
Roberts but for the Mormons in
general. By the way, it is cur
rently reported that there will be
a polygamist or two in the Idaho
legislature, and in this connection
the name Of State Senator Nc
Murrin's has been mention
ed. We may soon hear of an
anti -polygamy organization of the
Idaho women.

REooRo.seIsToRrIon

Our esteemed contemporary.
the Caldwell Record, by quoting
a single sentence from this paper
undertakes to make us censure
Chairman Morrison's manage
ment of the recent CAMPAIGN
There was in our article no criti-
cism of Mr.. Morrison, either direct
or implied, and no fair minded
person would attempt to place
such construction upon it. Mr..
Morrison was not responsible fer
the date of the Republican con-
vention. That was determined
by the state committee in gen.
eral meeting of the COMMITTEES.
Besides, in the article referred to
the TRIBUNE especially COM
mends the management of the
campaign and expresses satsfac-
ton with the results. We do not
hesitate to say that Mr.. Morrison's
management was entirely salts
factory to all the Republicans Of
the state with the possible excep-
ton of a few individuals who are
never satisfied with anything I'M
less it be the work of their own
hands, which is an aggravation to
everybody else. When the TRIB-
UNE has occasion to crlticise MIR.
Morrison, it will do so in such
manner that the Record will not
be obliged to resort to distortion.
But up to the present writing the
occasion has not arisen and there
fore, Mr.. Morrison receives our
unqualified endorsement. The
Record is not as apt as well dis
posed in the matter of creating
dissention. 1t fails because of its
cordial detestation of truth and
matchless reputation for willful
peversion.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-12-17

THE Paris Post, after purloin-
ing little of our thunder, adds
insult to injury by designating the
TRIBUNE as estate Chairman
Morrison's organ" The Post
may learn in the course of few
geological periods that the TR1B-
UNE is the "organ" of no individ-
ual on this earth, living, moribund
or defunct. Politically, this pa
per is Republican and, therefore,
supports Republican policies and
men when they are not repugnant
to what seems to be the best pub
lie interests. Whatever support
or endorsement Mr.. Morrison re-
ceives in these columns is due to
no act or suggestion of his but
the untrammeled volition OF this
paper. Mr.. Morrison, in every
walk of life, has shown himself to
be a man of ability and integrity;
he is at the head Of the kepubh-
can organization and, on these ac-
counts, the TRIBUNE is in hearty
accord with him. If ever he
should pursue a course in pubic
affairs inimical to the views OF the
TRIBUNE, it will probably be our
pleasure as well as our duty 70
oppose him as cordially as We
now support him.

DRY FARMING.

During the past eighteen
months the writer has had an OPP
portunity to investigate the con-
ditions under which dry farming
is successfully prosecuted, and OF
seeing large fields of excellent
wheat which had never been irri-
gated. The yield throughout
Oneida county and the southern
portion of BannoCk county has
ranged from 22 to s. bushels per
acre. There are two sorts of
wheat adapted to dry farming
the spring Sonora and the fall
Sonora. This wheat will mature
when the straw is not above s or
10 inches long and yield a fair
crop. For spring planting, the
ground is prepared by blowing in
the fall and the grain sowed as
early as possible in the spring.
For fall planting, the ground is
prepared in the early summer,
and planting is done between the
middle of August and the last of
September. Some farmers claim
that from the Goth of August to
the 10th of September is the
proper time. According to the
Idaho Enterprise, a half million
bushels of wheat was raised in
Oneida county without drop of
water. AS a matter of fact, irri-
cation of wheat has been practi-
cally abandoned in that section of
the state. 1t is our belief that
dry farming can be successfully
prosecuted in every arid county
of the state in localities where
there is a considerable snow fall.
The writer recently sent a few
pounds of spring Sonora to a Mr..
Keeney of Center, Boise county,
for experimental purposes. We
are confident the experiment will
be successful in that county, if the
preparation of the soil and plant
ing are properly done. 1t might
be wise for Canyon county farm
ers to investigate this subject.
First2grade spring or fall Sonora
wheat can be procured in Oneida
county.

A NEW REPOSITORY.

Democratic papers and individ-
uai5 announce that the time has
now arrived for the establishment
of an immigration bureau. The
arrival from Omaha of three sill
yer and two gold medals, all COM
posed of an alloy of copper, tin
and zinc, seems to have fixed
the exact period for the in
auguration of another repository
for unrequited patriots. The
fateful moment is now here and
the opportunity must be seized as
it may not recur in many cycles
of time. We have waited, 10
these many years, for this partic-
ular epoch, and began to think it
had escaped without observation,

But that was a mistake. The
time could never arrive until De-
mocracy was triumphant in the
state and bronze medals issued
from Omaha. By all means let
the immigration bureau be estab-
lished. 1t will constitute a beautl-
full companion piece for the politi-
cal furniture constructed two
years ago. The immigration
Bureau will tend to set off the
Horticultural Portfolio, the Valise
of Adjudication and Control and
other bits of astonishing brlc-a-
brac, now the sole and appropriate
adornments of the Democratic
household.

THE Record seeks to squirm
away from its sarcastic fling at
the city administration. We hope
its recantation may be received
with favor. But it insists that
there is IaXity in respect to the
enforcement Of the ordinance
against gambling. The inference
is that gambling is being carried
on in violation of ordinance and
that the city council, appraised of
the fact, will neither vindicate nor
repeal the debauched law. Now,
If the Record has proof of a VIC
lation of law, would it not be
good citizenship on the part of its
editor, or some member of the
staff, to lodge proper criminal
complaint with the police magis-
trate? That would bring the
matter up in such way that the
authorities could not ignore it.

OUR GALLANT OFFICERS.

Reports from Manila indicate
that Col. Jones and Major Higgins
have sigually distinguished them
selves in the service of their coun-
try. By the exercise of unap-
proachable prudence, they have
succeeded in keeping themselves
and the Idaho volunteers safely
out of dangers reach. At crltl-
cal moment, when the ColonePs
presence with his command would
have involved the Idaho troops IN
a serious engagement, he cautious
w withdrew to the seclusion OF
the sea shore and busted himself
with the collection of calcareous
specimens. The Colonel no doubt
thinks that zoology is a much
more profitable pursuit than
glorious war, so he gathered shells
from the shore, while the officers
and soldiers from other states
gathered them from the enemy.
We cannot resist the temptation
to commend the Colonels wisdom
and circumspection and we trust
he will be promoted for gallantry
in action and meritorieus conduct.
He deserves to be made general
officer by act of the congress of
Idaho. Major Higgins is also en-
titled to distinguished consider
alton. He stormed the fortifi-
cations of an abandoned cockpit
and compelled its unconditional
surrender without the loss of a
man or the disturbing intonations
of gun. With equal success
and immunity from slaughter, he

Of such gallant officers and red

them, today there would be no

WHAT OF BRYAN.

Over the wires comes the news
that Col. w. ]. Bryan has asked
to be discharged from the army.
This is but natural. Mr.. Bryan,
however patriotic he may be,
certainly would not care to spend
two years of the best part of his
life in barracks. No one can
consistently criticise him for wish
ing to return to civil life under
the circumstances. This incident
naturally provokes some specula-
ton as to Mr.. Bryan's present
political status and future pros
pect. The impression is growing
that his political career, in a
national sense, is at an end; that
he will be turned down by his
own party in 1900, and that his
last recourse and only hope is in
the bosom of Populism. Of
course, this is largely speculation,
but there are flying straws which
indicate the trend of events.
Nebraska and Kansas have given
Organism the cold shoulder, as
have all the Pacific coast states,
and in looking for the enemy's
country, the boy orator will here
after be obliged to turn his face
to the setting sun as well as to the
orient. Indeed he would seem to
be hedged round about with enc
mics, and it is serious question
whether he can successful combat
the rising opposition. The peo-
pie seem to have come to the con-
clusion that free coinage of silver
is not the sole and perfect remedy
for all economical diseases, and
that the gold standard is not quite
a universal curse. This opinion
has strengthened and expanded
marvelously since the Inaugural
ton of President Mckinley and
the rehabilitation of Republican
policies. Then there are other
great and absorbing questions
-a@.ag ID lie .rout Expansion,
with Ill tle term implies in poll
tics, commerce, religion, civiliza-
ton and economics, now demands
popular attention and, when the
prospect is broadly viewed, it is
an all sufficient question. 1t means
a revolution in ocean traffic; the
development of a commerce on
the Pacific coast which shall rival
if not surpass the Atlantic trade;
the building of an adequate navy
and the advent of mighty mer-
chant marine. 1t is not merely
question of territorial expansion
it is expansion along all lines of
human endeavor from theology to
commerce. Silver and Bryan
may accidentally be lost in the
shuttle.
