Expressing Regret at Not Being Able
to Visit the Camp al Chfckamauga

Washington, August 12.-The presf-
dent has sen the following letter to
Major General Breckenridge, COM
handing at Chickamauga, in response
to an urgent invitation from the lat
ter hat the president visit the COM
mand while it is still intact:
Executive Mansion,
washington, August II.
Major General Breckenridge, Chicaka-
manga Park, Ga:
Replying to your invitation, I beg
to say that it would give me great
pleasure to show, by a personal visit to
Chickamauga park, my high regard for
the 40, 900 troops of your command who
SO periodically responded to the call
for volunteers and who have been for
upwards of two months making ready
for any service and sacrifice the coun-
try nigh require. My duties, however,
will not admit of absence from Wash
ington at this time. The highest trib-
ute that can be paid to the soldier is
to say that he performed his full duty.
The field of duty is determined by his
government, and wherever that
chances to be is the place Of honor.
All have helped in the great causs
whether in camp or battle, and when
peace comes all will be alike entitled
to the nations gratitude.

ticipated in the ceremony: Eighth
Massachusetts, Twelfth New York,
Twenty-first Kansas, Twelfth Mime

Of the First corps go to their new
camp grounds at Knoxville and Lex

FINISH THE JOB.

The TRIBUNE don't know as it
has any particular bushes to mix
up in the little pleasantries that
the Record has been poking at
Sheriff Taylor over the Parma
murder trouble, but it seems to us
that had Sheriff Taylor succeeded
in bringing about a fusion of the
local Populists the Record would
have tuned up to a different key.
We do not know where the blame
properly belongs in this instance,
but seems to be no doubt but that
there are others implicated as well
as Mr.. Taylor. Why not criticise
impartially?
AS far as politics are concerned
Sheriff Taylor knows exactly the
attitude of this paper towards
himself and party, but as public
official, in this instance, we firmly
believe that he did all that was
possible to capture Lyons. He
and deputy, Mr.. Madden, and a
half dozen others spent some sixty
odd hours in the search and their
failure to get their man was due
entirely to circumstances-not
neglect. We hope our contem-
porary will endeavor to locate this

that equals it. Its reputation is
known all over Idaho and students
come here from all sections to
take advantage Of the opportuni-
ties it holds forth. The attend
ance the coming year promises to
be much larger than ever and the
arrangements have been made ac-
cordingly. The first term Of the
year commences next Tuesday,

out with good attendance. If
you contemplate attending the
college this year yon should COM
mence with the opening day.

a CHANGE.

Just now the leaders Of the 10
to I forces are trying to explain
to the rank and file what loyalty
to silver means. They tell us
that in order to be truly and
beautifully loyal to the white met
al, it is absolutely necessary to be
subservient and cringing to the
party bosses. The bosses are
the Moses to lead us out Of the
wilderness Of goldbugism and
bondage. If we reject the men
and measures they may put up
by fusion, trickery or any old
method, verify we are goldbugs
and octupuses and shall be damn
ed. For some reason or other
people are not such fools in the
matter Of loyalty to 16 to as
they used to be. They are com
ing to a realization of the fact that
every disgruntled politician in the
state is simply using the beautiful
fabric of 10 to I to hoist himself
into power and office. People are
getting into a habit of thinking on
their own account, and their
thoughts are not operating to the
advantage of the 10 to I politi-
clan. They are absorbing all
kinds of heretical ideas and the
croak of the leaders fall fiat on
irresponsible ears. This all means
that the people are commencing
to take hand in politics themsel-
yes; they are tired of being han
died like SO many cattle; they are
commencing to understand that
to silver in this state has
no other result than the promo
ton of office seekers and politi-
clans. The 10 to I theory is not
half as popular in Idaho today as
was twenty-four months ago, and
in it stead sentiment is growing
that the political camp follower
must be gotten rid of even
though the silver cause suffer.

COLLEGE OF IDAHO.

Caldwell is proud of her schools.
Together with the best public
school in the state, the College of
Idaho furnishes every facility for
a finished and classical education.
This institution, though young in
years, is equipped with every
modern essential. Here the young
men and young women of the
state may have their highest as
perations for learning satisfied
and at a cost within the reach of
moderate means. A trained and
competent corps of professors, de-
voted to their work, have charge
of the college and are indefatiga-
BILE in their labors for its success
and the elevation of the students.
Caldwell may well feel proud in
the possession of such an institu-
ton. No other town of its size

VIEWS OF OTHERS.

The work Of four conventions
held in the past week, is now
before the people of the state,
and it is safe to say that of the
$4,000 voters represented by
those four conventions, there is
not single voter that is satisfied
with the result, while the vast
majority are loud and outspoken
in their denunciation of the shame
full record made.
The people of Idaho were sin
cerely in earnest in a desire for a
union of the silver forces, and
their wishes were trampled under
foot in a mad scramble for office
by this candidate or that. There
is now a union of two parties
whose belief in the inherent prin-
ciples of government, save on one
question alone, are as widely
apart as those two parties have
been for forty years past. To
neither party to that unholy al
lance can the result be satisfac-
tory, and suspicious of one an
other are already sprouted and
must continue TO rankle. Then
again the peoples party is split
asunder for various reasons that
are now unnecessary to refer to,
and against this condition, will
every loyal Populist in Idaho
raise a hue and cry that will pen
citrate to the reasoning faculty of
every man who hopes to make
this condition lasting.
AS a whole these conventions
were total failure; they mis-
represented people, they become
the prey of INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans, they were lashed into do
ing the will of place hunters, and
every thought of principle or
good government, was totally
lost in the foul atmosphere of I'M
clean politics.
Such are the results, and must
ever be, of all efforts to unite
parties for principle, while the
spoils of office, like a grave yard
draws to the control of |
affairs the buzzards of American |
politics,-Boise Sentinel, Popu-
list.
Jubilation over the fusion of the
Democrats and silver Republicans
S not very great. The desire
was evidently sincere for fusion
Of these two parties and the Pop
llists. The Populists, and not
he silver Republicans and Dem
ocrats, are to blame for the fail
ire. Neither party is pleased
With the selection for congress-
man. Edgar Wilson is by no
means a favorite of any party.
He is not a strong man in anv
sense of the word, has no warm
IT enthusiastic following and his
could not be received
than coldly. He is
high protectionist. The fusion
icket is not satisfactory to either
he Democrats or silver Repub-
leans, and they contemplate it
With heavy hearts. The Popu-
lists are likewise bowed down
With grief. Revengeful schem-
rs are responsible for the un-
satisfactory outcome.-Idaho Civ
World, Populist.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-09-17

blame where it properly belongs,
whether it may be Sheriff Taylor
or someone else who has to
shoulder it. There is niger in
the fence somewhere and we hope
the Record win smell him out.
