The state administration papers
are still harping On the $roo. 900
saved by the present officials but
the people are not deceived. They
remember that the tax levy was
SAN this year the highest ever
known in the history of the state
The high water mark of the so
called republican robberies" was
only SS.o5. If the 500, 900 was
saved who got the money? Not
the taxpayer for he has paid more
this year into the state treasury
than has ever been demanded
before.

The farmer will do a little thin1

The farmer will do little think
ing of his own accord this fall
when the wall of. the demagogue
Is heard OH the stump, that a new
panacea is needed to cure the po-
litical ills Of the day. The farmer
of Idaho. like the farmer Of Oregon,
siikely toreason that the measures
aud policies that have a ways made
the country prosperous are more
certain grounds to pin faith to,
than visionary heresies of a party
that has made no record, save one
Of plumbers and failure. All talk
Of monopoly and corporations, ol
crosses of gold and crowns of silver,
will fall this year upon idle ears.
Last years crop,last years prices,
aud this years prospects are po-
tent arguments to the man who
puts good common sense into his
politics. There is increased and
increasing prosperity in every line
OF business. The manufacturer
sees il, the laborer sees it, and the
farmer sees it. Seeing is believing
and not all the STUFFED prophets
in the land can convince them that
the facts Of the past years exper.
fence are not true.

The populists in Nez Perez
county rave developed more politi-
cal aCumen than their erstwhile al
lies had given them credit for.
Prominent populist leaders now
propose that the division of spoils
of last campaigns fusion in county
affairs be now reversed and that
the populists this year take the
Offices held by the democrats last
year and the democrats take those
held by the populists. This is a
form OF reciprocity not at all to the
liking of the democracy and if the
populistic back bone is equal to
the occasion there is every promise
of a lively time when the fusion
forces attempt to form a union this
fall.

What Will the Women Do?

One among the many uncertain
factors in the coming state cam
paign is the doubt concerning the
action of the women of Idaho. We
are coming rapidly now to the
practical test of equal suffrage in a
state election. What will the
women do9 What, if anything,
will the politicians do III consider
alton of the fact that the women of
Idaho are voterso We were told
when the equal suffrage campaign
was before the people that if the
women were given the ballot the
party candidates would be selected
from among our best citizens, be-
cause women would demand first
o. all the highest standard of man
hood in candidates seeking their.
suffrage And now that the women
are to vote, will politicians and
political parties make any couces-
sions. in naming men to fill the
offices. Will the caucusing COM
mi,tees recognize this important
factor in canvassing the field for
available political timber? II
woman suffrage is to be the potent
factor it was heralded to be, we
may expect that no candidate
named ON either state or county
ticket contain the name of man
whose public or private life has any
suggestions of reproach upon it,
Ii, Oh the other hand, the pol
iticians are short sighted enough to
urge for nomination and thrust
upon the people candidates whose
public and private lives are objec-
tionable, will the woman of Idaho
rise above party and par.isanship
and declare for manhood and high
integrity? We think SO. We be.
lieve that the woman of Idaho will
above all things take firm stand
for the principles that make for
better citizenship.

Democratic Fairness.

There are some deluded followers
Of a vanishing ambition who, like
the boy whistl,ng in the woods tc
keep up his courage, confidently
assert that the democratic party
will be absolutely fair" in an effor,
to bring about union of the silver
forces. While the Sentinel is
neither prophet or SON Of pro-
phet just stick this prophesy in
prominent place: That the dem,
ocratic party will go it alone unless
they are awarded control Of the
state administration. The trouble
is that opinion differs as to what
constitutes fairness, and unfortu-
nately the democratic idea of fair
ness is analogous to that of the
Irisliman who disagreed with his
wife and proposed the following di-
vision Of the family property:
.Now Biddy you be after taking
the outside of the house and I'll
kaps the inside. Boise Sentinel.

Several South Idaho papers have
mentioned fusion tickle, that

ton, for congress. Such a ticket
did not eminate from the present
democratic machine hence no
mention has been made in the
organs that uphold the machine.
1t IS well known. too, that Mr..
Morris is an avowed candidate for
governor of Idaho yet no mention
has been made Of his candidacy
locally or otherwise. The state of
Idaho has no more reputa bic a cit
izen than Mr.. Morris. His can
didacy would be an honor to the
party and the stlte, but the dem
ocratic machine wishes to perpet-
uate the present state adminstra-
ton and to that end no outside
candidates are recognized. In
stead o! this there appears in the
editorial columns of the subsidized
press long articles lauding the high
and efficient efficacy of the officials
now in power.

The alleged cause Of the removal
of President Gault was that he
was incompetent Yet we learn
from democratic source that only
one of the three who voted agains,
the President was a callege man.
and 1t is certain that not one of the
three has been within the past ton
years, if ever, in such touch with
University work its scope and
tendencies as to qualify him to pass
Judgment in the premises. The
removal Of President Gault is only
in short, a political play, nothing
more, nothing less.

THE BURNED WEENAWKEN.
Committee Of Pilots and Navigate ion
Take Testimony in Philadelphia.
i'ilot Not to Blame.

On Monday the committee Of pilots
and navigation Of the Philadelphia Board
of Port Wardcns met in the Bourse
building that city to inquire into the
burning of the British oil steamer Vice.
hawken, in the Delaware river off this
city, on October 10 last.
A statement was made after the dis
aster that few minutes previous to the
fire breaking out the big tanker scraped
on the bottom of the river Just after en-
tering Cherry Island Flats and while fol-
lowing the channel as indicated by the
range lights. 1t was said that the fire
was directly to be attributed to the
shock, which caused the b"lkheads to
give and the oil to pour into the fire
room. The steamer was then beached,
the crew barely escaping with their lives.
The subsequent survey made at Cramps
drydocks showed that she had been
damaged to the extent of $4,000. The
Wee hawken has since Deen taken around
to New York for repairs.
The inquiry was made to determine, if
possible, the existence of an obstruction
in the channel, the proof of which wonld
logically release Pilot II. II. Church,
who was on the bridge at the time, from
all blame.
The testimony Of the men was taken
in full and the evidence elected was to
the effect that the vessel was in the chan
mel when she struck. Pilot II. H.
Church stated positively that he had
felt a slight shock, which was also no.
ticed by Chief Officer Coghlan, both "e.
ing on the bridge at the time. 1t was
then about 4.30 in the morning.
a few minutes aftcrward W. Arthur
Richards, third engineer reported to
Mr.. CoghIan that the bulkheads aft had
been strained by scraping on the bottom
of the river and that the oil had broken
through and was pouring into the stoke
hold. The officer and the pilot further
stated that the course indicated by the
channel lights was being exactly fol.
lowed.
Alter reviewing all the evidence it was
resolved by the committee to refer the
entire stenographic report of the pro-
cecdings to Lieutenant Colonel Ray
mond of the Board of Engineers, before
taking any action in the matter.

THE burning need of larger pipes with
which to connect the fre-plugs Of tHis
city with the water main is vividy inn
pressed by the trouble experienced at
the big fire on Walnut street Monday
night.
The fire was fierce one and had gain
ed great headway when the department
arrived. Every stream that could be
secured was needed to coIfine the con-
fiagration to the doomed building and
save the large church adjoining
The ~ Washington Fire Company was
stationed at Sixth and Walnut streets
hence the closest to- the fire and expected
to give the best service.
Good service from the "Washy" at
that time was impossible. Its stream
did not command 40 pounds OF water
pressure. Pacing the "Washy" engine
at higher speed availed nothing. The
fault lay in the narrowness of the pipe
which connected the fire-plug with the
water main.
The Water Department is responsible
for this trouble and the danger to which
much property is thereby subjected.
Repeated complaints have been made
that small pipes were causing the
same trouble in various parts of the city.
The Water Department has not remedied
the fault and owners of property want to
know why this negligence.
Firemen cannot save property it the
Water Department does not furnish
them a good supply of water, running
through pipes of sufficient size to give
volume to the stream.

TROUBLE OVER A SCOW.
The Young Men Arrested in Chester
For Larceny released by Mag.
istratc Daley.


On account of insufficient evidence
Thomas Mayden, David Mcguire, and
Louis Peirce, who were arraigned before
Magistrate Daley last night on the charge
OF having stolen a scoW belonging to
William II. Danzenboger last July, were
ordered released.
The prisoners claimedst that the scow was
floating up the Delaware river and was
captured and towed ashore iby Thomas
Mayden, small son of Thomas Mayden.
The scow was captured opposite Ches-
ter in the Pennsylvania channel, and
several witnesses testified to having seen
Thomas Mayden make fast to the scow in
mld-stream and tow it ashore.
Mr. Danzenboger identified the scow
but was unable to offer any witness who
saw the boys steal the scow, or even
take her from her moorirg place at
Namons creek.
Hiram Hathaway, Jr., Of Chester, rep
resented the boys and won the case with.
out any trouble for the defen dants.
The chief witness for the defense was
William Aldrich, who stated that one
day in July he saw what looked like an

being satisfied with his own ewes he
went into his boat house and brought
his glass to bear on the floating object

had been too quick for him, and was al.

According to the testimony OF many of
the witnesses the scow lay at Mayden's
place for about three months, when by
permission of John Mayden, Sr., his son
ana the other boys implicated, built a
mouse on the scow and made such other
alterations as suited their fancy. The
boys have been in hot water ever since

will prove his four serious charges against
