Some More Blundering.

1t is reported that Mr.. Gates of
Arkansas, who has been employed
by TIE State land board to estimate
and appraise the States timber
in Latah and Shoshone counties, is
at work on the lands which are in
contest. to which the State has no
title, may never get the title and
cannot in any event get title for at
leasl two years. While the State
has title to some so, 900 acres of
these lands which could be ap-
praised and put upon the market,
it seems that Mr.. Gates has re-
served these lands till the last and
is now spending valuable time in
working upon lands that under no
circumstances can be put upon the
market for a term of years. We
persume that Mr.. Gates is follow
ing the instructions of the land
board. If so it is one more in
stance of stupid laundering. 1t
shows that the ruling spirits Of the
board are not nearly so anxious to
put this timber land upon the
market as they assured our people
they were some time ago. Mos

Give rs a City Hall.

The question of a new city hall
is being agitated again in the coun-
Gil. From expressions 90 the out
side it is evident that the people
are in favor Of the project. They
will stand with Alderman Weis-
gerber in pressing this needed i'm.
provement. The city owns val.
liable lot on the cite OF the presen,
city buildings. A neat commc,
dious building soxioo feet a brick
two story structure can be erected
at cost not to exceed $4,000. 1,
can be made to answer the pur-
poses of city hall. council rooms,
and Jail, and eau be SO. constructed
that when the needs Of, the city
demand larger city building this
can he converted into store room
at no loss to the city.
The movement now on foot will
probably terminate in the letting
Of a contract to erect a city hall.
II is a needed improvement, one
that every citizen will stand up
for, and one that will add material
credit to the city and community.

The Paramount Issue.

Every silver paper in Idaho still
prates about free coinage being
the one great and overshadowing
issue, the one paramount issue,
and every meeting of fusion politi-
clans from the precinct primary to
the state convention shows that
greed for Office is the only soul
satisfying issue that actuates the
factions. Independent voters all
over the state are getting their
eyes open to the fact that while
the politicians are seeking to blind
the voters by free silver chaff they
are in reality working solely to
form combinations to secure and
hold official control The free sill
yer farce is worked out in Idaho
politics. Save in name only it
does not exist.
A great overshadowing issue
always unites parties and factions.
Men forget their grievances in the
presence of great paramount
issue. Free silver in 1896 was the
paramount issue. Great parties
united for it forgetting for a time
all minor differences. The popu-
lists forgot about the referendum,
the democrats overlooked the tariff
issue, the prohibitionist deserted
his fight against the demon drink,
and each and all made a fight for
free coinage. A perfect union of
these discordant elements was
easily made.
But i'll 1898 free silver is not the
paramount issue and nothing
stands in better proof of the asser-
ton than the evident disruption of
all fusion elements. Not only is
there discord among the several
elements but there are factional
differences in the several party
ranks. The campaign as it pro-
ceeds shows more and more each
day that official control and spoils
Of Office are the principal things
that govern the campaign move
ments. The free silver pap is what
Is given the voter but free fight for
Office is the issue paramount to all
others as demonstrated by facts too
patent to be successfully denied,

Give Us Good Men.

The time is drawing rapidly tol
hand when the various conventions
will meet to nominate men to fill
the offices in the state and county.
In the light Of the experience of
two yeasr ago with the Idaho
legislature it seems quite peril
nent to urge upon the conventions
about to assemble the desirability
of nominating for the legislature
aud other Offices our very best
men.
Every citizen Of Idaho remem-
bers with shame the record Of the
last session of the state Legislature.
How the proceedings show that
members were convicted of bribery
and corruption and yet allowed to
discharge their duties unmolested;
how the police court records can
he produced to show that the
nights of many a member were
speut IN drunkenness aud revelry.
The gambling rooms held high
carnival and many prominent
members became notorious as high
rollers whose nights spent in revel-
ry left them in the days Of the SEES
Sion 10 condition we'll fitted to
produce the series Of blunders
which the supreme court has un-
earthed during past two years.
DO the citizens of Idaho want a
repetition Of the events that made
the last session infamous? We
think not. The remedy is still in
the hands OF the people. In the
primaries soon to be held and in
the conventions to follow effectual
work can be done to check the
aspirations Of men who are mani.
testify untitled to represent the peo-
pie Of Idaho in any capacity.
Give US good men. Honest
men, sober men, capable men.
The laws Of Idaho are in great
ENHANCEMENT. Attorneys and
judges are many times at a loss to
know just what laws are left in
violate after the work Of these In.
competent legislators. Great prop
erty rights are endangered by this
condition Of things, aud there is an
urgent need Of the plea that politi-
clans consider the rights and needs
of the people in the choice of candi-
dates for the next legislature.
Give us high minded men, men
Of sober judgment whose natural
abilities have been warned by the
successful conduct OF public affairs.
II is true that successful business
men are 10th to make the sacrifice
necessary in leaving private inter.
esss to serve the public good, but
i'll The exegencies Of the present
time some can and should be found
who are willing to serve the best
interests Of the people. At the
prima ries the work of redeeming
the state can be done effectually
by the promotion OF such men
only as will make a record for
honor, uprightness and integrity.
