Well, our esteemed contempor-
airy, the Caldwell Record is after
us once more. We have always
held to the idea that a "burnt
child breads the fire., but it seems
that there are exceptions to this
rule, and the Record is among the
exceptions. We have always
taken sort of fatherly interest in
the Record, the papar beng
young, and the editor a witless
chap. And besides we wanted to
act as a sort of public benefactor
and improve the intellectual tone
OF that organ. Drummond says,
without involution there can be no
evolution: that man can't climb
over fence by Juggling at his
boot ears, so we thought with re-
spect to the Record. It's sole
virtue-if virtue it can be called
is an infinite aptitude at making
mistakes. We thought that if we
would point out few mistakes it
would be more careful in the fut-
ure, and its mistakes would grow
less and by and by it would be a
sort of a decent paper, command
ing alike the respect of the COM
munity and its constituency. But
we see now that all our benevo-
lent intentions have been wasted.
When a man has an apple orchard,
the trees of which bear an inferior
and wizened fruit, it is simply a
waste of time and effort to attempt
to improve the stock. He must
pull the old trees out, and plant a
new orchard. So with the Re
cord. It's hopeless to expect it
to improve with its present editor,
and so the people must either wait
until he dies off or sells out. We
thought that the Record last week
had steared on its slow moving
brain little sense, but we find
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-08-19

UNE with lot Of silly twaddle,
which, no doubt, the editor Of the
Capital considered sound argu-
ment. THE tribune supposing
What the effort was all that it pur-
ported to be,-knowing the we'll
known weakness Of the editor,
Of that paper to indulge in pueril-
tiles, answered it in all candor.
And as result, we have been be-
slimed with another discharge of
filth. We ought to have known
better. We have observed that
when a yellow cur is cornered, it
curls it's tail between it's legs, lays
back its ears, and tries to get
away, all the time snarling and
showing it's teeth and, if it can,
takes despicable advantage of it's
Opponent-we would hardly COM
pare the Capital editor with the
yellow cur,-although he has all
it's traits,-the yellow cur has
little respect left, the Capital has
Mt any. In our article of two
weeks ago, we answering all the
argument that paper attempted to
present, and it having nothing to
say in return, resorts to insult and
abuse. It has always done SO;
that is the only part Of its char
acter as a newspaper that has
been uniform and consistent. But
as we stated before, we expected
all this, and were not in the least
surprised when it came: we
would have been surprised if it
hadn't answered as it did.
The Capital is pleased to as
sumo that Mr.. John T. Morrison
has editorial charge of THE TR1B-
uNE and therefore is the author
Of its editorial articles. This is a
compliment we had hardly ex-
pected and could never deserve.
We wish that something would
appear in the Capital that would
suggest relationship between it
and a writer of any degree of
ability and integrity. We are
only sorry that Mr.. Morrison is
not editor, for if he were, the
same splendid ability that has
been exercised in building up
he Republican party to the place
hat it holds in Idaho politics to-
lay, could no doubt be used to
lplift and elevate Idaho journal
SIN, so that such things as edit
he Boise CaBitalwould, perforce,
hide their diminished heads with
shame.

THAT RAILROAD

is the capital city, and, therefore,
the first city Of the State, and
ought not to be switched off on
the stub-en of "jerk water" line.
We believe it to be the wish of
all disinterested parties of the
State, that this great benefit being
placed on the main line) be ac-
corded that city. Once Boise
was a city of moss backs, and the
people thought it the only place
on earth, and when about II years
ago, an offer was made to place
Boise on the main line for small
consideration, $4,000, Boise
indignantly refused to put up the
stuff, and the o. S. l.. built it's
line about IS miles south of the
capital city. Since then Boise has
changed. 1t still holds to the old
idea that it is the only city on
earth, but thea all towns hold
that idea, and the citizens en-
courage it as a patriotic duty.
But Boise now is a city of energy.
1t has every thing that goes to
make up a comfortable sized city
It's citizens are pushing and wide
awake. The railroad company
has offered to put the city on the
main line for $4,000, and we
have no doubt at all, from the way
the people up there are going
about the matter, but what they
will raise it. But we should not
get an inflated idea about the
benefits that will accrue to Boise
by being placed on the main line.
It does not mean that Boise will
become a passenger division, be-
cause that is out of the question
entirely. Boise is too close to
Huntington for that, and hitting
ton is the terminus of the o. R.
& N, We even believe it too
close for freight division. So
much for that idea. Now with
respect to another idea that has
gained currency in these parts. cit
has been said that the o. S. L. |
railroad to put Boise on the main
line will tear up all the track be-
tween Owyhee and Payette and
build a new railroad entirely.
Such an idea is absurd. You
might as well expect a business
man who has been getting along
with the old-fashioned show win
dow for a good many years, to
tear down a brick block in order
to put plate glass fronts to his
building. Boise does not expect
any such benefits. If that COM
nittee expected any such changes
hey would not keep the matter
20 quiet. Such a change would
benefit Star, Emmett, and Pay
.tte, and Boise would be down
1mong those people, and the
money would be raised so quick
hat i would make your head
win. But the railroad, for and
n consideration of $27o,ooo
promised the Boise committee to
extend the main line eight and
:hree quarter miles and put Boise
IN the main track, and tear up the
rack between the sblind-siding
allied Owyhee and Nampa. That
$ all there is to the proposition.
This arrangement will hurt Nam
p some, and We are sorry for
hat place, especially for the poor
people there who have made for
themselves homes, but the change !
or Nampa win not be so great !
as is imagined. She win lose

A Pen Picture of Damascus,

Compared with Jerusalem, Damascus
is Partisan. The Jerusalem air presses
heavily with it's melancholy past. Half
4 score Of sects make it rendezvous for
pillage or for mummery, and its memo
rails of imperishable events have to be
looked at through the dust of persisted
dynasties. 1t is mystic. solemn, arcane.
Damascus is practical. positive and even
merry. The wall of Israel sounds along
the arid valleys of Zion, but Damascus
sings voluptuous carol by means of its
ice-cool. tabled river. The tinkle of it's
bells mingles forever with the gurgle of
it's waters, and above all you hear the
silvcry laughter of the Syrian girls, and
catch the dancing humor of their dark
eyes through their little wells. Jerusa-
lem has its austerc character to sus-
tain. Its temples are tombs. Its weight
of poignant history keeps it grave. But
in Damascus yOuzare under no obliya-
tons to the past that the present cannot
make you forget. Its innumerable shut
ties and armories call you back to the
,bustling cXigeneies of life The coffee
bazaars defy melancholy. So this
stranded city on the shores of time-the
gold on whose mosques never corrodes--
basks III the sun and eats figs merrily
just as it did when Saul of STarsus jour
neyed that way.-From Ghosts in Jeru-
salem." by 4. C.. Wheeler in Harper's
