Emperor Williams Tenants.

The German Emperor, as is we'll
known, has since his accession done
all in his power to improve the con-
dition of the working classes, with the
happiest results. During his recent
visit to his new estate at Cadinen,
which is in every respect considered a
model for the rest of east Prussia, the
Kaiser was greatly shocked at the ap-
pearance of the workmen's houses on
the estate, and remarked thathis cow
houses and pigsties were palaces com.
pared with these novels. He further
gave orders that the dwellings for his
work. people should be improved be-
fore his next visit, and said he hoped
that his example ouldbe followed by
other land owners. In east Prussia
there is great necessity for improve
ment, and it is to be hoped that the
fact that the Emperor has now an es-
tate there will have very good effect.

Keep the Butter Firm and Sweet.

During the hot season the butter all
too frequently shows disposition to
run, too, and the housewife is often
at her wits end to know how to keep
it firm and sweet.
An expert butter maker says that in
order to prevent rancidity butter may
be worked up with solution of bicer-
Donate of soda, allowing three-quar-
ters of an ounce or an ounce to each
two pounds of butter. After washing
thoroughly in this until the rank taste
has thoroughly disappeared, the but
ter should be rinsed we'll with fresh
cold water, and then salted imme-
diately.

Effects on the Autumn Gowns.

On the first autumn gowns many OF
the summer effects are repeated, the
skirt sheath-shaped and clinging at the
top, but expanding very much on the
extreme lower portion; the sleeves
small, the bodice fancifully trimmed,
the skirt repeating its decoration more
or less elaborately, according to ma
ter.al and use. As rule, however,
there is much less of extravagant cut

Because Of an inquisitive turn OF
mind, Snb-Policeman John Atkinson,
of the Twenty-second District, had
his new summer uniform thoroughly
drenched. Atkinson was stationed
near the Undine boathouse, along the
Schuylkill River. Prior to the arrival
of the parade, he became very much
interested in the boats and fixtures in
the clubhouse. Finally he came to a
sign posted on the wall which read:
Pull the Rope and See the Monkey
Jump" Atkinson gave the rope a
jerk and then proceeded to do the
jumping. He had pulled the rope at

Short-Llved Indians.

Recent observations among indians
show that in South America, as well
as in North America, the red woman
lives longer than the red man. But
the average duration of life IS only
seventeen years for both sexes IN the
South, and twenty-five per cent. Of
the Indians die during the first yeal

which animates the leaders Of
Republication in Idaho, as indi :
Gated by their ewn expressions,
lis to harmonic all conflicting
elements and thereby secure the
greatest possible party efficiency.
We know Of no man in the Re-
publican party, worthy of serious
mention, who will not cheerfully
immediate personal interests on
the altar of party success. The
thing desired is to restore Idaho
to the Republican column-to
throw its weight on the side of
those wise policies which have
ever exercised a beneficent in-
fiuence on the fortunes of the

QUESTION ANSWERED.

The question lie sometimes
asked by the Silver Republican,
who as yet have not finally de-
termined on a course, "What will
the Republicans do with US if we
return" Well, we do not know
what some Republicans might
like to do, because there is here
and there a mean Republican;
but speaking for the vast majority,
we may safely answer, the Re-
publicans neither have it in their
hearts nor in their power to do
anything with the Silver Repub-
licans, Republicans do not re-
gard Silver Republicans as chat
ties to be disposed Of by decree
under foreclosure. ItRepublicanS
have succeeded in convincing Sill
yer Republicans that, all things
considered, the policies Of Repub-
licanism are best for this country,
why we are glad Of ii, and we are
sure we shall be very glad to
have the corporation Of the Sill
yer Republicans and all other
good people. Nothing has been
done with the thousands of Silver
Republicans who have returned.
They have pot been put through
any probationary process; they
have not been lined up on the
mourners' bench; they have not
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-12-02

been exhibited in the market
place-unless the show was of
their own making; they have not
been put at the foot of the class TO
work their way upward, and
neither have they been exalted to
high places simply because they
thought wise to change or modi-
fly their political ideas. Repub-
licans naturally feel vexed when
good men desert them, but they
cherish no revengeful feeling
when these good men resolve to
return. Indeed, after an exhaus-
tive examination of all the laws
and customs of the Republican
party, we fail to find a single
thing on retributive justice, touch
ing this class of cases. Nowhere
in Republican jurisprudence is
there asline or word to indicate
that ii was ever contemplated
that anybody should be rewarded
or punished for exercising the po-
litical liberties given him under
the Constitution of the United
States. Therefore we conclude
that the fate awaiting returning
Silver Republicans is simply "be-
nevolent assimilation"

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
Rev. WildeF's Innovation FaEOrably
RecelTed-A GOOdly Number Of
Caldwell People Listen TO
the Laymen.

On Thanksgiving day, accord
ing to announcement, services OF
an exceptional kind were held in
the Methodist church. Two
Caldwell citizens, unidentified
with any church, and one uniden-
tilted, delivered the thanksgiving
sermons. This was the develop
ment of an idea conceived by
Rev. Wilder and it proved to be
a success. After appropriate
prayer by Mr., Wilder and music
by the choir, the several speak
ers addressed the congregation.
Assessor Wells made an eloquent
and effective plea on behalf of
the observance of Thanksgiving
day. He pointed out the many
things for which the people
should be grateful and showed
the sin of ingratitude. His was
a NEST appropriate and edifying
sermon. Attorney Grifiths fol-
lowed with a carefully prepared
and impressive discourse. 1t was
a clear, earnest and sincere pre-
sentation of the higher duties Of
life, and awoke a responsive
chord in the heart of every mem
Der of the congregation. Both
addresses are highly praised by
all whe had the pleasure Of hear
ing them. In the beginning the
"Bishop" dropped a few remarks,
the purport of which escaped US.

ALAsTwoRD.

THE TRIBUNE would like to
say a last word to the people of
this section respecting the pro-
posed irrigation districts. We
hope the larger one will be Or
ganized. 1t seems to US there are
so many weighty reasons why it
should be. Just now there is a
considerable immigration into this
section. Few are settling in the
territory to be covered by the
proposed district. Few will set
tie so long as the present unsat-
isfactory system of water distri-
button prevails. But let the
larger district be organized and at
once there will be a marked
change. All the new people will
desire to locate within it. A large
and prosperous community will
grow up. The fame of
it will travel abroad, and Canyon
county will enjoy such a period of
and developments as was
scarcely ever hoped for. Organ
ize the little district, and what Is
It? A little local affair-simplv
