HOGS FIVE HIGHER
Light Saturday Run and
Quality Just Fair.
BULK 1925 TO 1897 ~
Very Good Week and Year
Closes With Gains.

The local hog market yesterday was
strong five cents higher, with very in
different supply and the quality only fair
1t was a light day in point of receipts,
and it was not at all unexpected. The
closing day of the week is always apt
to be light in receipts, but at this point
for many weeks this rule has been offset
greatly and the day of Saturday has long
been about as good as any other day of
the week Yesterday, however, there was
added to this circumstance the other ele-
ment Of its bling the day previous to a
legal holiday and the last day of the
year. There were present clear up 10 the
last vestige of change of later offerings
all the several interests. including the
buyers and all commission firms. 1t was
a normal day, though the demand was
were at once snapped up and
at all times good. Any hogs offered
were at once snapped up and there as
an eager demand for more, and they
would have been taken in at equally good
figures had they appeared. But as they
were not especially expected, they were
not missed so much and no one was es-
pecially disappointed The market was
a strong five higher for all the hogs which
were sold, and this price would have been
placed upon any more hogs of like quail
ity and grade. Weight was about the
same as the day before, and It was of
just medium weight. The quality was on
ly fair with nothing at all choice in
sight, there being strong element of
common and inferior hogs mingled with
the better grades. Feeling was buOyant
and hogs were always in demand and
the higher tone of the market is sug-
gestive of firm feeling and good healthy
demand. The few cars in arrived at an
early hour and were readily disposed of,
Dold taking all the cars offered and would
have several times doubled his line of
purchases had there been sufficient hogs
to buy. The apathy just preceding a hol-
iday was in evidence and yet the lack
of hogs can be said TO have been more
the cause of this than anything else.
The week has been very satisfactory in
every way. The top has been s. 40 and the
market comparatively bettr than a. any
point among the western receiving points.
always satisfied. The week and the year
closes with gains over the same time
last year which are very encouraging.
New shippers are listed among the regu-
lar corners and the business is grow
ing simply because this point has proven
among the best in the country as a strong
live stock market

Since the matter of patronage
was adjusted by the legislature
public interest seems to have
waned. The old laws have been
made new and the members have
collected their milage and per
diem. After collecting their
money the solons seem to have
taken respite from public duties.
The Illuminating over mutilated
laws has perhaps cooled the ardor
of would be reformers and this con-
dition may save the state food
of experimental legislation. The
Legislators must have learned a
deal of law in ten days of COM
pulsory education. They have,
doubtless, learned that every
fleeting public sentiment is not
worthy of crystalization into re-
form statutory measure. In the
calm after the storm there are
healthful signs of discretion if not
wisdom. This condition bodies
good for the people.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1899-01-21

Justice Quarrels in an address
before the bar association in Boise
last week justly rebuked the an
archist press of the state for the
attack upon the supreme court for
requiring the compliance of state
laws with the constitution as was
instanced in the famous fee bill de-
cision. The papers cried out in
despair that chaos would follow
this decision. The justice pointed
to the fact that the ship of state
was still afloat and that even some
of the papers which were badly
frightened were still permitted to
do business IN the state. The les
son of the fee bill decision was far
reaching. 1t forever put ar end
to haphazzard legislation in this
state; and hereafter even the most
rabid populist will comply with
parliamentary forms in the de-
velopment of his pet measure into
laws to govern rational beings.
1t will also promote respect for
judiciary authority, another crying
need.

The political strife manifest in
the reported actions of the Idaho
Legislature is matter of public re-
greet. In this off year the general
veal should overshadow political
issues. On the contrary every
resolution, memorial or bill is
branded as partisan, and regardless
of object it belongs to the party
that elected the author. 1t is most
ridiculous to observe the political
child's play Of giving personality
to public measures. There was an
abiding hope that fusion would
obliterate party lines, but the re-
verse is the result. In the state
senate a measure must have pop
ulist or a republican sponsor and
in the house it must have demo-
cratic fusion faint to give it safe
passage. While this influence
prevails, we are only safe when
the lawmakers are doing nothing,
or when they are expending their
energies in bucking opposing lines
like we'll matched football teams.

The Indians have petitioned tn

The Indians have petitioned the
Legislature for relief from the
gambling nuisance. The United
States has seriously interfered with
the state authorities in matters of
government on their reservations.
A state law would be largely inn
practical so far as protection for
Indians is concerned. The
whole trouble with the peace
regulations for the Indians lies in
the fact that they are between con-
fiicting authorities. The gam
bling nuisance should be abated
but ten times worse is the whiskey
traffic and this is prohibited by all
kinds Of statutes with heavy penal
ties. What is needed is simpler
process in the hands of good Off.
GERS. Put these wards of the gov.
eminent either under the agent OF
make them wards of the state and
the matter of their protection will
regulate itself. IF the indians
would petition the department tc
put authority In the hands O.
Agent Fisher to protect them the
object sought would soon be ac
complished.
