the United States navy, There is
large and varied assortment of Dem
ocratic patriots who feel different about
it and Governor Steunenberg is foremost
among them. Bingham county has
substantial occasion for jubilation. julie
has been very irregular in the matter of
paying his taxes during the past five
years and this Job will enable him not
only to redeem what has been repeatedly
sold to the county but hereafter pay up
in advance. The appointment of julie is
perfectly satisfactory to julie.
The game warden bill which passed
and was duly approved is going to make
trouble. Representative Bates of Canyon
county was promised the job of game
warden and so it seems was Representa-
tive Arbuckle of Owyhee and thirty-two
other and separate and distinct
malaise and is beginning to curse
Steunenberg audibly because Arbuckle is
three links ahead in the race. There is
SI2oo year in the game warden job,
lots Of deputies and plenty Of printing.
H. B. No. 2oS created State Bug in
spector at $9 day and nine or ten dis
trict inspectors at $500 day. There is
an abundance of pie for the printer in
this job.
In wading through the jungle of APP
preparations last week an item or two
was overlooked. There is 100000 for
the State University and $500 bonds for
the Lewiston Normal school. These
will help swell the deficit.
The profound anxiety for "jobs" is
evidenced by the fact that substantially
all the job-creating bills had the en-
Urgency clause. It is possible that in
the multitude of job bills dozen or
more have been overlooked, but enough
are given to indicate the appetite of the
legislature on the reform side. From
this prospect we may readily Judge what
would have resulted, had the legislature
been in full sympathy with the admin
istration.

Case Of Captain Carter.
Chicago Record)

| About 1890 Captain Obein VI. Carter
| was put in charge Of the harbor work at
Savannah, Ca, where extensive improve
ments were projected. In 1896 Carter was
relieved and sent to London as military
attache Of the American Legation. His
successor at Savannah discovered and eX-
posed corrupt practices on the part OF
Carter by which the United States Gov
eminent had been defraudod Of about
S20o0.00O Carter was recalled from Lon
don. tried By court-martial. and found
guilty on every charge. The trial court
was made up Of military officers of high
character. The finding was that Carter
should be dismissed from the army, pay a
fine of $4,000, and undergo a term Of i'm
prisOnment
From the beginning occult influences re-
tardng the prosecution manifested them
selves. Anticipating the courts finding,
Carter's counsel went direct TO President
Mckinley and induced him 10 send the
case for review 10 an Outside lawyer"
an unprecedented proceeding. Ex-senator
Edmunds was chosen by the President.
Mr. Edmunds reported that some OF the
papers were not properly introduced. but
that without these the findings of the
court were fully justified. From Mr., Ed
munds's hands the President had the pa
pers sent to the Attorney General. pro-
ceeding also without precedent. and they
are there at this time non-action being
justified by the absence OF one Of Cartor's
counsel In Europe.
The case has been the mostremarkable
OF its kind In the history Of the govern
ment The extent OF the frauds was UNI
eXampled. while their character was of
tlagrancy never before attempted. But
the most extraordinary feature OF the
whole matter is the apparent purpose of
the President 10 find for Carter a loop
hole Of escape IL is known that politi-
cal influences far-roaching and potential
in many States have been brought 70
bear on the President and that he did
not stand firmly against them at the out
set. as ne should have done. until az this
time the contention Is so deep-seated that
it has engendered a moral vendetta be-
tween the elements involved In its
broader aspects the prosecution Of Car
ter has been an EFFORT of the army, and
NOTABLY Of the Board OF Engineers. TO
purge itself Of Carter and Carterism.
Against this has risen up the power of
politics, with President Mckinley yield
