BLEEDING SHAME.

It is distressing to observe that
Governor Steunenberg is being
literally censured by the faithful.
We had hoped and trusted that
none but uncircumcised gold bugs
would be so unpatriotic as to
openly protest against his excel
lency's laudable efforts to repair
his political establishment. 1t is
not only unpatriotic in such pa
pers as the Boise Sentinel and
Oakley Sun to raise their voices
against the administration, but it
is treason to 10 to I and the I'M
ion of silver reform forces. Who
dares think or even dream of such
venal things as Office while the
ineffable Dubois is electrifying
the upper and neither atmosphere
with the noble vibrations of ''hon-
orable co-operation"7 What right
has the Oakley Sun to breed dis
cord in the camp of the angelic
hosts over a Riblett? Nothing
short of complete set deserves
to be made a bone of contention
in these formative times. What
excuse has the militia of Genesee
for raising a row over a captaincy
before the financial question is
settled? How can a solid, serried
front be presented to the common
enemy if the champions of the
plain people shall be doubted or
questioned? 1t is bleeding
shame, the way the oracles are
being treated. The Oakley SIM
and Boise Sentinel ought to be
torn from the heavens and beac-
on heights and stepped upon.
And the complaining militia men
should be dumped into the sea of
Gennesaret and devoured by the
fishes.

NEW OR DER OF ENooH.

1t might occur to superficial
observer that young and vaIor-
GUS gentleman, such as is the
Hon. Fred T. Dubois, would
catch the war spirit and inspired
with the prospect of a thousand
glorious actions, hasten to the
CORY battle field. 1t is true he
has neither wife nor child de-
pending on him, but he has bust
ness of prodigious weight on
hand. The fact is, Mr.. Dubois
could not possibly spare himself
at this time. He needs himself
all the time and every hour. There
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-06-04

is none other but he to do the
thing that needs be done. There
is no deficiency of men compe-
tent and willing to preserve the
nations honor at the front, but
where shall we find, save Dubois
himself, another man able to eS-
tablish in Idaho a political Order
of Enoch. Under the Cali See
ing Eye and Holiness to the
Lord" the Mormons started the
Order of Enoch some IS years
ago, but it did not thrive as a re-
ligious annex. The basic prinCi-
pie was cooperation. The par
amount issue was salvation. For
the purpose of promoting their
salvation, the lay members of the
Mormon church transferred all
their effects to the church. The
"Authorities" managed thechurch.
Well, you know how it was.
There was bitterness in Israel
when the Order Of Enoch got
well under way, and then there
was such a smash up as few people
live to see. Patterning on the
defunct religious establishment,
Dubois proposes a New Order of
Enoch. The basic principle is
corporation; the paramount issue
silver; the lay members, the vot-
ers of Idaho; the "Authorities, ="
Mr.. Dubois. Great scheme, isn't
it. Who'll join the New Order of
Enoch? We suggest that an in
vestigation of the old one and its
workings might be profitable as a
preliminary step.

WHICH is MEANER2

A short time ago the Salt Lake
| Tribune was distressed and en-
ragged almost beyond the capacity
of its generous vituperative vo-
cabulary because some papers
had irreverently poked a little fun
at the Hon. w. Jennings Bryan.
Here is a sample of its out :
pourings:
The newspapers that are now most
sOlicitOus for the soldiers lest they be
paid off in Ehort.weight dollars, and
which denOunce as traitors all the men
in the Senate of the United States who
do not approve of an immediate issue
of $500,O00,O00 of bonds, true to their
cOwardly A percent intelleCts, are every
one sneering at Mr.. Bryan because he
Is trying to raise a regiment for the
war. They impugn his motives, charge
1t is not patriotism but thirst for dis
tinctiOn that impels him, and some of
them are base enough to insinuate a
belief that he will not be at the front
when trouble comes. Could anything
be meaner?
The Salt Lake Tribune is a
leader among that school of think
ers which has discovered that
everything beautiful and lovely
and patriotic emanates from a be-
lief in 16 to I, and everything
mean and selfish and traitorous is
connected with those who are I'M
able to accept the silver doctrine
in its entirity. Out side of the
charmed silver circle there is no
good thing to be found. Day by
day it grows bitter and sourer.
Every misfortune, beginning with
matrimonial infelicity and travers-
ing the entire range of human
misery from divorce to dissolution
is dumped at the door of gold
bugism. But it is characteristic
of pure silver philosophers to be
at once the most abusive and
tenderest of mankind. They
assume the right to browbeat and
villify without restraint, but look
upon the slightest criticism of
themselves as proclamation of holy
things. 1t was blasphemy in any
newspaper to lightly chaff the
immaculate Bryan, but divine
grace in the Salt Lake Tribune to
charge upon the National Gov

son. Speaking of the recent call

DEAD oANKER.

In these bustling times when
the public mind is strained with
the pomp and circumstances Of
war, it is we'll to seek relaxation
amidst the quiet walks, swelling
sweets and lingering fragrance of
horticulture. Many of the Idaho
horticulturists have been touched
with pain and grief by some of
our observations made in regard
to publication recently projected
by the pursuers of chronological
curios. Some have even gone so
far as to express their emotions
with a degree of earnestness
quite affecting, and words of de
probation have been uttered
which do us great injustice. The
pictures and the descriptive
sketches in the "Bug Book" were
SO beautiful, the language so vo-
luptuous that we felt it a patriotic
duty to invite public applause for
them. Perusal and frequent ref
erence to the Bug Book have in
spired in us a zest for horticultur-
al pursuits, entirely unexpected.
We have now turned from the
realms of theoretic speculation
and are devoutly, though in
cheerful spirit, engaged in practi-
cal study and application. We
know of no reason why we should
not now be added to the estate
Board of Horticultural Inspection"
except a political one. Pending
our appointment, we have opened
a free dispensatory and are pre-
pared to compound remedies or
make diagnoses any hour sOf the
day or night. We have not yet
begun to practice orr any of the
fancy ailments which horticulture
is heir to, because we cannot ar
ticulate them felecitously. We
wrestled one whole night with
Gloesporium Fructigenum but
the nearest we could get to it was
Gloriafritz Duodenum which did
not seem to convey the correct
impression. We have therefore
decided not to permit any of our
horticultural patients to contract
Gloespordium Fructigenum. 1t is
just as easy to have them taken
down with dead canker or bilious
fever, like the regular official in
spectors do. Our method is to 90
through an orchard, looking wise
and critical, until we find a little
globule of resinous substance ex-
tending from tree, then we
shake our head ominously and
order a foot bath and mustard
plaster, applied to everything on
the ranch, including the hay der
rick. The trembling freebooter
is informed that the premises are
alive with dead canke1. We /
learned that trick down on Shell
by's ranch where it had been
worked before. When we find a
tree with hectic flush on its
trunk or limbs, we prescribe
change of air and advise the own
er to move his orchard to a high

for $4,000 more volunteers II
punctuates its objections with OBJ
servations like these:
The belief is forcing itself upon the
country that the contractor and the
politician, and behind both the bond
holder, are in the saddle; that utter in
competency pervades the war depart
ment and that the purpose is to bring
such pressure upon Congress that it
will be forced to pass the $5O0OOO,OOO
long-term bond bill, and that it is not
the intention to have any active work
done in Cuba until the harpies who are
preying upon the Government shall,
like the vultures of Cuba, be surfeited
with their foul feast.
And in concluding adds:
Are there some moro sons of million
aires and those who have pull who
need commissions? Has Mr.. Gage
concluded that in the interest of his
friends, the interest gatherers, those
bonds for $5OOOOO,OOO must be issued?
Have the politicians decided that the
advances must be postponed until Oc-
tober that the people may show their
loyalty then by voting more gold-bngs
into Congress in November? 1t has
that look.
In the Salt Lake Zrf6mne'S opin-
ion nothing can be meaner than
playful criticism of Mr.. Bryan's
tardy demonstration of patriotism,
but the American people are very
apt to regard such utterances as
it is continually venting as quite
as mean as meanness can be.

WRECK OF THE LONDoNIAN.
Surviving Members Of the Crew
Reach Boston.

BOSTON, Dec. 9.-The surviving
members of the crew of the steamer
Londonian rescued from the wreck by
the steamer Vedamore, reached this
city to-day from Baltimore. The names
of those who are supposed to have been
lost besides Captain Lee, First Officer
Murray and Third officer Cottier, are
Carpenter Wickham, a Russian; Boat
swain Bohem, Seamen Carson, Peter
son, Hennessy, Crowley, Corness, Webb,
Johnson, Hendrickson, Howard and

Hull, England; Third Engineer Slater
of Grove; Fireman James H. Ford of
London; Chief Steward Nichols of Hull,
England; Second Steward DARRELL, also
of Hull; Engineer Stewart H Water
man of London, Second Cook Charles.
The names of the two cattlemen were
Daniel Coveney and Thomas Doyle of
this city.
In addition to these was a young
stowaway whose name is supposed to
be Cresse.
Second Officer Cuttings of the Lon
donian, in talking of the disaster to-
day, said that the report from Ralti-
more that after the forty-five men had
been taken on board the Vedamore the
steamer was soon lost sight of, and it
was supposed that the remainder of her
crew remained on board, was an error.
The second officer states that they left
but one small boat on the Londonian,
and that boat was seen on the wreck
by the King Arthur when she sighted
her abandoned, and carried the first
intelligence of the disaster to liverpool.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The discus
sion of the details of administration
of the government of affairs in Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Philippines. under
the treaty of peace, which is about to
be signed in Paris, occupied a large part
of the time at to-day's Cabinet meeting
The establishment of a new postal
system in Cuba was regarded as a
pressing necessity. The present pur-
pose is to fashion the new system, as
far as practicable, upon our own model.
Cablegrams were read from Admiral
Dewey and General Otis at Manila, Civ
ing their views as to the number of
troops that it would be necessary to
keep in the Philippines during the ad-
ministration of the military Govern
ment. Further than this the contents
of these messages were not made pub
lie, but the information received, it
was stated, was entirely satisfactory TO
the President. Nothing had been heard
from Paris up to the close of the meet
ing.
The Cabinet also talked over an elab-
crate tariff measure, which is now in
preparation here, to go into force, as

This tariff measure, ii is said, will show

of about fifty per cent. from the Span
ish tariff rates. The understanding
now is that there will be no export
duties, and that in other ways the bur-
den of taxation will be reduced
Postmaster General Smith remained
in consultation with the President al
most the entire afternoon, talking over
the scheme of postal administration Of
Cuba. There are two projects consid-
cred, one to establish a United States
system similar to that now operated in
Porto Rico, under direct administra-
tion ard full control of the United
States, and the other TO give Cuba an
independent postal system, to be estab-
lished and equipped by the United
States Government. but to be operated
and administered and all expenses paid
by the Cubans, this Government mere
~ furnishing equipment at cost prizes,
and assuming only supervisory con-
nection with it. A decision on this
point will be reached shortly.

REORGANIZATION OF ARMY.
Important Measures Under Consid-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The House
Committee on Military Affairs to-day
began consideration of the important
measures for the reorganization and
Increase of the army to meet the con-
ditions arising out of the war Such
progress was made that Chairman
Hull said at the close of the meeting
he expected not only to report the bill
to the House before the holidays. but
also to pass it by that time.
In order to expedite the work, daily
committee meetings will be held. be-
ginning next Monday. General Miles
and General Schofeld, the present and
the late commanding officer of the
army, will be invited to be present ON
Monday to offer suggestions and rec
concentrations. Following them, the
various heads of staff bureaus. the Ad-
jutant General, Commissary General.
Quartermaster General ETC., will be
heard.
More than usual interest attaches to
the meeting to-day, in view of the eff
feet of this legislation upon the future
status of the army. The bill immedi-
ately under consideration was the Hull
bill introduced by Chairman Hull. and
having the. approval of Secretary AL
ger.
The other army bill, drawn by General
Miles, probably will be introduced in
the House on Monday and referred to
the Military Committee, so as to be
taken up when General Miles is heard.
Mr.. Hull explained the plan of his
measure in so shaping the arms of the
service as to bring the total ef-
fective force up to 100000, and this
led to general discussion. No decisions
were reached, and no votes taken on
any of the features of the bill. the

CHICAG0ANS IN EARNEST.
TAKE UP THE FIGHT AGAINST
CITY COUNCIL.
Mass Meetings Held to Protest
Against Proposed Extension of
Railway Franchises.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Democrats, Re-
publicans and citizens, irrespective of
party, assembled in mass meetings in
various wards of the city tonight and
declared themselves unalterably opposed
to any street railway legislation under
the Allen law. Acting under this law,
it is proposed in the City Council to
extend the street railway franchises
fifty years.
Prominent speakers were in attend
ance at all of the meetings. The war
machinery of the Democratic party took
up the cause, just as the Executive
Committee of the Republican party had
a few days previous.
Chicago has never witnessed such a
spectacle before, and it is doubtful if
any other city has. Mayor Harrison
called for volunteers to-day to help him
win the fight against the fifty year
franchise ordinance on the proposition:
mo franchise extension ordinance OF
any kind until the Allen law is re-
pealed.' To-day he wrote his name to
the following:
Every political, social, religious or
ether organization which takes action
against the proposed traction ordi-
nances is requested to send delegate to

In addition to political speakers, the

Judges. ministers. professors, business
men and workingmen, who have offered
their services.
Mayor Harrison to-day put The brakes
on some hot-headed citizens who talked
ropes by telling them that in the
first place there would be no necessity
fo., any overt acts, because the gang
could not muster enough votes ta pass
the ordinance over his veto and Sec
ond, that all talk of mob violence, vig-
lance committees and escorts to Al

to demonstrations which would be con-
strued as lawless.
A score of men started out tonight
distributing white badges, on which
were printed a gibbet from which dan
gled a moose The words printed on the
badges were "And-fifty year steal"
Before the theater crowds had reached
home these badges were all over the
city. One of the men distributing. the
