that Mr. Foote did not put him
self On record b a protest against
the salaries The commissioners
fixed for themselves, and we have
no desire to excuse Mr.. Foote,
neither have we attempted to do
so. He is as much responsible
as any member Of the board.
However, we are informed BY
the clerk Of the board that Mr..
Foote proposed a reduction of
commissioners salaries, but his
proposition met with the disap-
provaI 81 Messrs. Ryder and
Shaw The TRByNE does not
care snap what the people be-
Eeve about this matter. They
may believe if they want to that
the commissioners will cover back
into the treasury a portion of their
salaries, as suggested by the Rec
ord, and the general protest which
has been made may yet induce
them TO do that very thing. But
should theysdo SO, the people will
always believe that pressure Of
public opinion had more to do in
bringing it about than official con-
science. If the commissioners
should at any future time remit
any portion Of the salary fixed for
themselves, it will be tantamount
to a confession that nothing but
the dread of public condemnation
prevented them from giving them
selves the. maximum, which is
$1,000. The only consistent thing
for the commissioners to do is
stick fast to the $500 and swear
by all that is good that it is little
enough for the human sacrifice
involved. And, indeed, it may be.
In any event the commissioners
can not think or act otherwise
without stuitifying themselves.

1t explains satisfactorily why they
were SO anxious to conciliate the
Populists. 1t is confrmatorv Of
much that was interesting and

though that the initiation of this

much pressure or collapse for
want of wind. 1t was certainly

TAX COLLECTORS MUST
REFUND,

According to a decision of the
supreme court of Idaho assessors
and tax collectors are not entitled
to any commission on that portion
of the taxes apportioned to the
general school fund. 1t seems
that ever since 1888 tax collec-
tors, or most of them, have been
receiving commission on school
monies, and the court indicates
that they must return it. In
Oneida county the commissioners
made at their last meeting an Or
der directing the county auditor to
ascertain the amount of money as
SCISSORS and collectors had received
on school monies during the years
1888 to 1898 inclusive. The idea
there is to commence suit, where
necessary, for the recovery of the
amounts which have been illegal
ly paid. Here is a matter that
ought to be investigated in every
county in the State. In Oneida
county, it is estimated that, inter-
est included, some $4,000 may
be recovered. In other counties
the amount will be considerably
larger. We are not informed as
to the practice in this county, but
no doubt the county attorney will
take the matter up and act upon it.

ons. The spirit move and he
fires away, hit or miss. Again,
the Tribune says: I'VE know
the feeling of silver men in Coll
.orado, in Utah, in Idaho, in Ne
vada and in Montana, Silver
men who all their lives were Re
publicans until 1896, gave up for
the time being the principles of a
lifetime to support what seemed
to them most vital question.
But they do not feel as they did
in 1896, for the reason that in
each Of these States named the
Democracy has demonstrated,
that so far as they are concerned
they are hardly capable of self
government, to say nothing about
governing this Nation" Then
the Tribune goes on to part.cu-
larize, and shows that as between
Democracy with 10 to I and
straight Republicanism, every
sensible and patriotic man must
chose the latter. Now let us get
back again to the inspired gentle
man of Blackfooss. He says the
Silver Republicans will support
Bryan in greater numbers than
they did in 1896. If that shall be
true anywhere it ought to be so
in Idaho. What is the situation?
Last fall the Republican gains
amounted to about 125 per cent.
Whence came these votes? To-
day there is no visible Silver Re-
publican organization in the state.
Is that a good basis upon which
to form hopeful prediction Of
increased Silver Republican sup
port for MIR. Bryant We believe
it was Heber c. Kimball who
said that a prophet who struck it
once in ten times had the gift.
Dubois has had a close shave.
He only misses one too many
times.

HOW THE PROPHETS AGREE.

The Hon. Fred 7. Dubois has
come home, and he has. gracious
ly supplied all the political acu-
men it is necessary for common
people to have. OF course, it is
impious to question the judgment
or understanding of such an emil
nent authority as Mr.. Dubois
takes himself to be, and, unsup-
ported by other eminent author
ity, it would be mere presump-
ton in us to do it. Nevertheless,
we bear in mind that Mr.. Dubois
has been predicting and forecast
ing a great deal in the last few.
years, even excelling the scrip
tural seers who prophesied pro-
fusely with tabors and cymbals
and sundry other instruments of
music; but while Mr.. Dubois has
rivaled all the prophets, ancient
and inodern in fecundity, he has
been singularly barren in ac-
curacy. Being, however, estab-
lished in the prophecy business.
the mere fact of never, even by
accident, foretelling anything,
does not in the least disturb him.
His function is exhausted and his
obligation discharged when the
act of prophesying is complete.
1t is the business of others to fit
in the events, and if they fail, who
can blame Mr.. Dubois? Imme-
diately upon his arrival, MIR. Du-
bois went right to work prophe-
sying with just as much sang
froid as though he had been hit
ting the bulls eye regularly ever
since he went into business. He
says: "Sixteen to one will be
the paramount question in 1900"
and, "The Populists and Silver
Republicans are. satisfied with
Bryan and will support him as
Loyalty and in far greater num-
bers than they did in 1896" In
opposition to this we quote from
the Salt Lake Tribune, a silver
prophet of uncommon inspiration
itself, and probably the ablest and
most sincere advocate of 70 to
to be found in this day and gem
Grafton. The Tribune says:
"Our judgment is that it is use
less to make another stand for
silver in this country until condi
tons change And then the
Tribune goes on to give good
reasons for its Judgment. This
is something the Prophet Dubois
never does. He hasn't any reas-

YOU CAN LEARN.

One can learn something's with
out going to Botany Bay. Last
Wednesday afternoon a healthy,
robust, well-dreSsed individual,
wearing a nice watch and chain,
called at THE TRIBUNE office,
saying he was hungry and out of
employment. He looked fatter
and sleeker than our kind of fod-
der enables us to look. He wore
better clothes than we can afford
on holidays. He had a better
watch and a heavier chain than
we ever hope to own. He had
nobody to provide for but himself,
while we are struggling along
with a sizeable colony to feed and
shelter. Nevertheless, we bor-
rowed IS cents and sent him out
to restaurant to eat better vict-
uals than we devour once in cy-
Gle, and told him to come back
and we would try to give him a
little job, thus enabling him to
preserve his manhood and recip-
rocate to the extent of his ability.
This individual exhibited a paste
board document certifying that
he was member of the Miners
Union of Butte, Montana, in good
standing. After the banquet, the
prodigal returned and we gave
him work that lasted from D.
m. to 6 p. M, one hour. Being
called out, we left so cents in the
office to pay him. We felt that it
was more generous wage than
we could afford to pay. We
knew that in our most useful and
capable days we had never been
worth IS cents an hour and in
our widest dreams had never
hoped to earn that much. We
once had the gall to ask a man
So a day and he went into con-
vulsions and paralyzed US with a
stove leg. But we thought, here
is a fellow creature struggling
with adversely, away from home
and mother, without a wife to
support him and no children to
hunger with him. Perhaps this
so cents will lift up his dropping
spirit and encourage him to re-
new the battle of life. OF course
the thought stole into our mind that
he could soak his watch for more
than we could borrow from any
body who knew US, but probably,
we thought, it is against the laws

FIRST SENATORIAL BOOM.
The Pocatello Tribune saws +:

The Pocatello Tribune says:
The ShoshOne Journal perpe-
trates the following: "From The
state papers we see that the name
of the state senator from Lincoln
county, Hon. Frank II. Goodinr
is being put forward for United
States Senator to succeed Senator
Shoup. A better man to represent
Idaho in he halls of congress than
Mr.. Gooding, can not be found"
A moderately close reader of
the state papers may not have
detected the Gooding boom float
ing through their columns, but
that is not to say absolutely it
was not there. However, the
Journals discovery
confirms suspicion which has
prevailed for some months. The
Journal is very near to the Hon.
Frank R. Gooding and conse-
keenly observant of ev-
erything touching his political as
pirations. This item from the
Shoshone Jonrnal throws a ray
of light on the deep solicitude
which Mr.. Gooding, Mr.. Pink
