LITERARY NOTES.
THE APRIL CENTURY.

THE APRIL CENTURY.
The Century Magazine is redeeming its
promise to cover the war of 1898 as author
itatively as it did the campaigns Of 1S61-65,
though the late and shorter war demands
much less time and space in the magazine,
and, in fact, as magazine feature, the
April and May numbers will practically
close the series so far as it relates to active
operations. In April an article of extra
ordinary interest and importance is Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS full and frank state
ment of the part taken by THE Atlantic
Fleet in the Spanish War" Major. General
Francis V. Green, one of the highest living
authorities on modern warfare, gives a full
account from personal experience of the
actual capture of Manila, and John T
McCutcheon describes the surrender of
Manila as viewed from Admiral Dewey's
flagship. Mr.. McCutcheon was on the
bridge with Dewey during the action. An
account by the American Director of the
School at Athens of recent American dis
coveries at Corinth includes the turning m
of "a Relic of st. Paul" In this con-
nection should be mentioned an entertain
ing description Of Jerusalem and its en-
Vironments, written especially for The
Century, by the distinguished French artist
j. James Tissot. Now that Russian affairs
are so much before the world. the "Notes |

NO CHARITABLE INSTITUTION
To assume that a newspaper is an
object of charity is serious mistake.
No matter how good may be the inten-
tions of those who dispense it charity
cannot make a newspaper. Newspapers
real newspapers-are the combina-
.tion of labor, money, intelligence and
principle. The relation of their makers
to the community is identical with the
relations CT business or professional
workers, aud all the elements ofsuccess
are the same in all cases. So are the
ends for which all are striving. Then
the newspaper commands support just
in proportion to its eserts.-Seaford

Jud BoyakIn Dead.

The old timers scattered
throughout the Boise Valley, one
and all, irrespective Of politica
affiliations, win be sorry to learr
of the death of Old Jud Boyakin
which occurred Tuesday. All
the old-timers knew Jud, and
were readers Of his vigorous pa
pei, the Boise Democrat. In
those early days there : was a
hot, glowing FIRE in the old man,
and his trenchant pen was quick
to oppose the rings and cliques
that dominated early politics. He
was a forceful writer, with indie
pendent convictions and fearless
in expressing them. While a
plain-spoken man, and having a
rough exterior, he had kind and
generous heart and was a true
friend to those in trouble. He
had his faults, it is true-and who
has not--but he sinned more
against himself than his Fellow
man. His remains were laid at
rest Thursday, and many old
time friends and comrades fol-
lowed them to their last resting
place. In his death Idaho loses
a great journalist, and fearless
champion of the common people.
The following sketch of his life is
taken from the Boise Statesman.

Business is not frightened, Ell
Their by the great capitalization of
new companies or by the wild
fluctuations in Wall Street. 1t
goes ahead with calm disregard of
speculative performances, and
payments through the principal
clearing houses have been for the
week 78.2 per cent larger than
last year, and &c. per cent larger
than in 1892, but for cities out
side New York 3o.2 per cent
larger than last year and 44.3
per cent larger than in 1892. No
matter how much the stock OPP

business elsewhere is large
enough to warrant a wonderful
expansion Of industries, and that
is the thing most important to OBJ
serve. In no considerable branch
has production diminished, but in
practically all it has been increas-

ing manufactures Of the country.
1t is needless to enumerate them
as scarcely a day passes without
its record Of important advances.
The Democratic press is notably
reticent on this subject and acts
as though facts which are essen
tally occasions for great rejoic-
ings are painful to it. This is an
unfortunate predicament to be in.
A political party, or an individual,
is in bad case when nothing but
woe is joy to its soul. At the
same time we must candidly adj
NIT that Democrats are really in
a sorry dilemma. Every raise in
wages is a vital thrust at Democ-
racy, and they would be a little
more than human if they could
sing songs and throw up their
hats while all their cherished
theories and traditions were being
smashed to splinters. 1t is very
hard for man to give up those
old idols. And he will 60 right
along worshipping a musty,
senseless tradition or a busted
and Collapsed theory when every
fact of life proclaims the folly of
the one and the iniquity of the
other. Now, to the average
Democratic mind the difference
between conditions today and two
years after the Inauguration of
G cleveland doesn't signify any
thing except that the facts are in
conspiracy to blaspheme Demo
cratic gods. Their faith in their
gods is not in the least shaken
no combination Of truths no mat
ter how indisputably established
could do that-but simply the
-acts are wicked faOrantlv
neartlessly wicked. A fact that
lends to overturn a Democratic
theory is crime and must not be
,ountenanced whatever it may
ldd TO the sum of human happi-
less. And this is why you do not
Zee anything in Democratic pa
'ers about the wage advances
which are taking place all over
he country. This is why the ut
err absence of idle men is never
mentioned by them, and this is
Why they snarl and growl in the
midst of the splendid prosperity
which is upbuilding, developing
nd rejoicing the whole country.
these happy facts are death
ealing thrusts to Democratic
lois.

THE TRIBUNE is thoroughly
pleased with the municipal ticket
put up by the people of Caldwell
last Friday evening. There is
not a dishonest, incompetent, nom
progressive, unpatrioic name on
1t. We feel that if our ticket is
elected, which it certainly will be,
the municipality of Caldwell will
be absolutely safe and secure for
the year to come. With such
men at the helm no ship of state
could drift on to the rocks of des-
citation or run amuck on the
shoals of ruin. In the selection
Of candidates, the people have
been exceptionally happy in every
particular. The men named are
thoroughly in sympathy with all
the hopes and aspirations of the
community and well able to bring
to full fruition our most sanguine
expectation. In giving express
sion to these sentiments of praise,
we would not have it thought
that there is even an implied der
ogatory reflection cast upon the
administration about to retire.
Onthe other hand, Mayor Doan's
administration has been satisfac-
tory in the highest degree. None

As it seems to be foregone

word of admonition to the few
designing and scurvy individuals
Who cherish secret and despicable
