Mob Rule En- ded.

Wardner, Idaho, May 2.-The suspense
is ended. Once more the law exists, prop
erty may be respected and life has little
value in the Occur d'Alenes. For the
blue-coated soldiers of Uncle Sam have
come at last. The nightmare is ended
There is trouble yet to come-much
trouble. The pledged efforts to bring the
guilty to justice may excite fresh riots,
cause new bloodshed; but mob rule at
Wardner is a thing of the past. For 10
days the people of this town have lived
in terror. No one knew what hour might
bring an outbreak or where it might end.
No one would have been surprised by
dozen murders; 10 one would have been
surprised by the burning of the town.
Even last night at midnight came fresh
rumors that an armed force was on its
way from Canyon Creek ready for more
violence. And now, at last the troops
have come.

The correspondent of Reuters News
Agency thinks it is evident that the home
authorities have misunderstood the situa-
ton in Samoa. The Germans and rebels
are already jubilant and claim victory
over the British and American forces.

NOT AN OFFICE SEEKER.

Not a single mau who distin-
guished himself in either Cuba
or the Philippines, has been more
fortunate in his utterances since
his return from the scenes of war
than General Fred Funston. He
has shown in every way that the
laurels of victory have not unbal-
anced him nor the praises of men
dethroned his reason. He does not
pose as a hero who must, of course,
command the patronage of an ad-
miring nation, nor does he claim
exorbitant reward for service done
One of General Funston's latest
utterances, and one that is charac-
teristic of the man is this:
Il hope that none of the men of
the First Montana or the Twentl-
eth Kansas will permit themselves
to become professional old soldiers
or heroes, l hope they will not
go home and seek public office"
Funston is the sort of man that
will fill any position in an entirely
satisfactory manner, not to win
the applause of the people, but
because it is right so to do.

Illustrated, as its title indicates, is
S richly an army publication, and
its editors are officers of the serv-
ice. Its utterances, therefore, on
the Transvaal trouble ought to be
worthy of. consideration 1t says;
at is said that Gen. Joubert has
summed up the situaron in South
Africa in a formula which has the
not inconsidera bic merits of being
brief and being accurate. The
question according to him is wheth-
er the Beers or Britons are to be
masters in South Africa. 1t would
be difficult to put the case better.
When two men have only one horse
between them, and both want to
mount, it is clear that one must
rice behind. This truth was re-
vealed many centuries ago. In
South Africa we have tried hard
to solve the problem how to allow
both to ride in front, but it won't
do. Our management has not been
above reproach from the begin
ming. When we first came to the
Cape it was as deliverers. The
rule of the Dutch East Iudia COM
company, which governed the
colony, was harsh, as it was every
where, We found many who were
prepared to help us among the in
habitants. Unfortunately we gave
the colony back, and did nothing
to protect our friends. When we
took it again we got no help, and
the answer made to us when we
inquired how that came to be the
case was the query whether we
could give security that the people
who made themselves useful to us
would not once mole be handed
back to the tender mercies of the
Dutch East India company. That
was the beginning of grudge,
which has been fed by other causes

COURT MUST DECIDE.
Assessors Are Not Inclined to
Abide by the Ruling.

1t looks now as if the uncer-
tainties regarding the states fin
ances would not be settled for some
time to come. According to the
Denver Post the changes made by
the board of equalization in the
assessments have, so far, been ig-
nored by the county authorities
The abstracts were returned over
a week ago and so far three replies
have been received to the govern
or's letter that accompanied them,
requesting the assessors to make
the changes
These replies came from the as
SCISSORS of Lake, Pitkin and Cone
Jos counties. In view of these
facts meeting of the state board
was held yesterday.
The mem bers were all in an un-
pleasant frame of mind over the
ignoring of the changes, and es-
pecially were they chagrined on
account of the attitude of Assessor
Ames and the Arapahoe county
board As it seemed to be the
general opinion that a majority of
the counties would decline to re-
cognize the boards power to raise
the assessments, the board voted
unanimously to take the matter to
the supreme court in the shape of
a test case in order that their act
ion may either be sustained, as
legal or declared unconstitutional
The court case will not be com
menced though until something
definite is learned regarding the
plans of Araphoe county authorit-
les. Secretary w. Fl. Griffith was
therefore, appointed a committee
of one to call on the assessor and
county commissioners, within the
next few days and ascertain exact
