knowledge their Leadership. It's
unfortunate that Boise has SO
many notable captains who would
rather go down to defeat than ac-
cept for a moment the leadership
Of rival. But despite this pleth-
ora Of greatness, the Republicans
managed to secure a victory
which is likely to bear good fruit
for the people Of Boise. Hon. ].
H. Richards, mayor elect, is ex-
judge of the grid judicial district.
He has the record of a clear head
ed, practical, just man. AS a
judge he showed himself possess
sed of a first class executive abil-
ity, and always anxious to do the
thing that he believed to be right.
We shall be very much disap-
pointed if the municipal affairs of
Boise are not better managed UNI
der the administration of Judge
Richards than ever they were be-
fore. He is honest. He is broad
enough to accept every innovation
that promises Improvement, and
level-headed enough to reject the
visionary and impracticable.
From a personal knowledge of
him, we feel justified in pronounc-
ng him an exceptionally good
man tor the place. We are not
personally acquainted with any of
the other officers elect, but are
reliably informed that they are all
right, 1t is much to be regret
ted that the Republicans were un-
able to adjust their personal and
factional differences, and work
unitedly. But it was perhaps too
much to expect.
The last Michigan legislature
enacted law creating a commits
sion and empowering it to pur-
chase for the city allthe street car
lines in Detroit, to be operated by
the municipal authorities. This
was radical step in the direction
municipal ownership of public
utilities. Coy. Pingree was the
moving influence in the undertake
ing, and people all over the coun-
try were watching the progress
af Michigan's enterprise. I'm
fortunately the movement towards
municipal ownership has received
a check. The supreme court of
Michigan has declared the law
unconstitutional. The constitu-
ton of Michigan prohibits the
t State or any municipality to en-
gage in business enterprises of
+ any character. 1t is probable
. that other schemes of municipal
| ownership will fall through for the
+ same reason that Detroits did.
There will have to be constitu-
tional reyisions all along the line
Z perhaps.
/, A terrible accident occurred
near Malad City last week by
2 which Frank Rumsey, a I3-year-
+ old boy, lost his life. He was out
e after cows and coming to a small
stream with rather high banks,
+ made the horse he was riding
; jump it. The banks gave way
: and horse and boy went back
wards inio the stream. There
! the boy was trampled to death by
! the efforts of the horse to get out.
His body was found some hours
. later, buried in mud and water.

able, isn't it? MIR. Sinclair's
Grafton was no doubt intended 10
awaken sympathy for the policy
he is pursuing towards the Min
ers' Union men and incidently to
glorify Mr.. Sinclair. Nobody
blames him for working up a
little boom for himself, but there
was no occasion for arousing pub
lie indignation. The people of
Idaho will cheerfully support Mr..
Sinclair in every legitimate effort
to put down his instruction, but
they will not be stirred very
deeply by his flamboyant speech
es. Moreover, he ought to be
satisfied with reasonable
amount of public alteration. AL
ready 10 per cent of the male
babies born during his reign have
been named after him, besides an
excellent variety of fruit. That
ought to appease the craving Of a
very rapacious ambition.
At Grangeville, last week oc-
cured shooting scrape in WHICH
a man named Duff Green lost his
life. AS nearly as can be gather
ed the facts are about as follows
BY inheritance, Green's children
came into some property and in
the transaction there was a deed
which he wanted to get posses
sion of in ORDER It is said, to Sc
cure a portion of the property for
himself. ]. T.Ailshie, a prominent
lawyer of Grangeville, had been
looking after the children's in
terests, and, by Green's lawyer
was instructed to destroy the
deed. Last Friday week Duff
Green went TO Ailshie's office
and demanded the deed. Ali
SHE told him he did not have it;
that he had destroyed it. This
Green refused to believe and i'm
mediately drew a pistol, telling
Ailshie that unless he produced
the deed: in 80 seconds he would
be a dead man. Ailshie protest
ed in vain and the time was near
ly up when Green thought he
heard someone coming Unto tbs
office and turned his head, Asi
that moment Ailshie Secured a
pistol from his desk and when
Green turned around, he, too
was confronted by a weapon
Then the shooting began with
the result that Green received
wounds from which he died las
week. Ailshie escaped unharm.

lawyer of good reputation. He

United States Senate, is the lead
er of Aguinaldo's forces in this
State, and it may be recalled
that he also was an active and
jealous supporter of the deposed
queen of the Hawiian islands and
warmly advocated her re-estab-
lishment on the throne. Mr..
Dubois finds it impossible to bring
himself into agreement with the
administration at Washington
which is extremely unfortunate.
He insists that President McKin-
ley is guilty of inexcusable dere-
LECTION in as much as he does not
announce a Philippine policy.
1t seems to have escaped Mr..
Dubois that it is no part of the
the Presidents duty to announce
a Philippine policy. People who
might be led astray by the
querulousness of gentlemen of
Mr.. Dubois odor should keep in
mind the plain fact that the for
mutation of policies is vested in
the American people, speaking
through their representatives in
Congress. When Congress
meets in December, President
Mckinley will lay the whole
matter before it, together with
such suggestions as to him seem
proper. His business now is to
enforce existing laws not invent
new ones,
The Hon. Bartlett Sinclair APP
pears to have his Idaho insurrec-
ton well in hand and evinces a
determination to hold lawlessness
in subsection. We give elsewhere
an extract from speech the gen
tleman made at Wardner on the
Fourth. The general sentiment
expressed by Mr.. Sinclair is COM
medable, but the style of his ora
tory is turgid and extravagant.
To appreciate this one must look
at the facts as they are. The
employees in several mines or
ganized a mob consisting of five
or six hundred persons; they
moved onto one of the mills and
blew it up with dynamite; during
the fracas one mana member of
the mob-was killed and one or
two wounded. The men sup
posed to have been engaged in
this breach of the law have either
left the state or been, apprehe nded
and are now confined in the "bull
pen", under civil and military
guards awaiting trial. Today law
and order prevail, the courts
are exercising their functions
without danger or interruption,
and we have Mr.. St. Clair's prom
Use that the guilty shall sbe brought
to punishment. Now listen to'Mr.
Sinclair's word painting: "A long
series of crimes have bfunted the
consciences of a zYast army o

1t seems that the Peace Con-
ference now in session at the
Hague is going to accomplish
something really good and sub
stantial. Nearly everybody has
at some time thought that the es-
adjustment of an international
court would BE- feasible UNDER
taking, and most of us have
vaguely looked forward to such
a contamination: Just now the
Peace Conference, composed of
the ablest representatives of the
principal civilized nations are
actually discussing that common
sense proposition. The details of
the plans for organizing the court
are very elaborate and complete,
and appear to cover every con-
dition that can arise. In brief,
this court, designed to hear and
settle cases growing out of differ
ences between nations, is to con-
sist of judges appointed by what
is known as the signatory nations;
that is, those nations which agree
to the establishment of the court
and promise to employ its offices.
Each nation may appoint four
judges from sIong its own citi-
zens or designate as its representa-
tives any member Of the court al j.
reay appointed. These judges
are to hold Office six years. There
is to be principal Office or court
house, probably at the Hague,
Holland, in charge of the Secre-
tary or chief clerk of the court.
Whenever any dispute arises be-
tween two nations, they will sub
NIT their statements of the case to
the Secretary and designate to him
any five members of the general
court, they may agree on, to try
the case. Then the Secretary
will convene the court at the most
convenient place and the trial will
proceed. OF course there is no
way of obliging nations to sub
NIT to this court, but the moral
sentiment of the world has now
become a law which no civilized
nation cares to offend, so there
will be few instances of dispute
which the nations concerned will
be unwilling to submit to a fair
and competent tribunal. The
signs all indicate that the day is
at hand when civil law shall rule
the world. There is no reason
why justice should not determine
the rights of nations as well as
the rights Of individuals. The
men who say the world is getting
worse are doing business on a
diminishing capital.
All along the line there is a
notable falling off of the rabid
anti sentiment. AS
people become more generally
informed on the subject and bet
ter acquainted with all the facts
surrounding conditions in the
Philippines they are ready to ad-
NIT that the government is pursu
ing the oaly course consistent with
duty, honor and justice. One BY
one American citizens of note ant
responsibility are returning from
Ethe Philippines after making
careful investigation of all tn,
conditions and without exception
they endorse the course being
pursued by this government. On

Mr.. Hayemeyer, president of
the sugar trust and a life long
Democrat, recently made himself
somewhat notorious by appearing
before the Industrial Commission,
which is investigating trusts, and
stating it as his opinion that the
Protective Tariff is the "mother
of trusts" No doubt Mr.. Have
meyers idea was to furnish a
slogan for the Democratic party
in the next campaign. A witty
writer, commenting on Have
meyers charge, notes that trusts
are just as common in free trade
England as in the United States,
and observes that if Protection is
the mother of trusts Free Trade
must be the father. Which is
eminently true. Democratic pa
pers all over the country are
quoting Mr.. Havemeyer on trusts
with great junction, but they
studiously overlook his structures
on organized labor. He con-
demned labor organizations as
severely as protection. but later
asked to have that part of his tes-
timony stricken out of the record.
1t is shrewdly suspected that one
object, and very important one,
had in view by Mr.. Havemeyer
was the destruction of the cane
sugar industry of Louisiana, and
the beet sugar industry which is
rapidly growing up all over the
West. Mr.. Havemeyer would
be glad to kill off every COMPETE
tor which his trust can not control
and as the cane sugar of Louisiana
and the beet sugar of the West is
dependent on the tariff, the de-
struction of the tariff would de-
stroy them and leave Mr.. Have
meyers trust with nobody to con-
tend with except the German re-
fners with whom he is said to
have an understanding"
1t appears that the country is
again in a fair way to enjoy a

More Troops Needed.

Manila. May 26.-The events of the past week emphasizes the need of a much larger army here, without which, according to best authorities iu Manila, it would be impossible 10 expect to maintain supremacy in the Philippine islands. Tue inadequscy of the American forces IS responsible for the large loss in the number of small engagements without material results as compensation. Most of the fighting has been in territory which Americans had swept but compelled to abandon because they could not spare the troops to hold it. Much of the country swept in- cluding scores of smaller towns ana some of the larger ones, have been left uncovered, simply for want of men to hold them and the insurgents returned and are now occupying the towns the Americans abandoned and are camping in the jungles and woods.

Call Out the Fence Cutters.

The timber thieves in the northern part of the territory and the land thieves in the southern part, have found that they could neither in timidate nor bluf from his duty, :. J. Holzinger, the inspector for the interior department, who has done more within the two years to bring before the eyes of that gentry a just fear of the law than have ali the men who have proceeded him in that position. They have endeavored to compass his removal, but failed in that. But they have succeeded in getting him transferred and another inspector sent to Arizona to replace him. Mir. Holzinger Is to be trans ferred to Colorado, and the new man will have to take up his work, familiarize himself with what IS to be done, and in how far he has car rjed out the work. While he is do ing this the timber thieves and land thieves will have a respite from the prosecution MT. Holzinger has in augurated, and they hope to be able Co make him one of the complainant kind of inspectors who will wink at their transgressions, ss have other inspectors Tn the past.
 lt Is unfortunate that the interior department should have been so hoodwinked in this matter, and all good citizens should bend every energy toward showing the depart pent the mistake made and induc- ing a revocation of the order trans ferring Mir Holzinger. The Oasis has reliable information that Mr. Holzinger was about to come to Santa Cruz county and enter suit against Cameron. ct al, 10 compel removal of the,r illegal fences from the public domain. Now that good work will be suspended until the new man gets the hang of things. That will mean a suspension for months. sndif Cameron can get in his work on the new man it will amount to indefinite suspension. The fence cutters might as well get out their nippers again and finish up the job.-Nogales Oasis.
