A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch
say Governor Steunenberg wrote
Chairman Dick as follows :
while it is not necessary to
inform you of the relative posi-
tons of the State of Idaho and
the general government in the
matter, as this status is clearly
defined by statute, still it may be
proper for purposes of general
information to add that the State
of Idaho is responsible for all
that has been done in Shoshone
county relative to the call for
troops, the arrest, detention and
care OF prisoners, the regulations
under which the mines can and
have operated from the time of
the instruction up to the pres
ent time, and the regulation of
matters concerning the employ
ment of men in these mines, all
of the above matters having
been under the immediate super
vision, control and direction of
the officers and representatives
of the State of Idaho and not in
any way of the federal troops. l
further state that the State of
Idaho and not in any way of the
federal troops. l further state
that the State of Idaho assumes
and accepts all responsibility for
the manner in which affairs are
conducted in the Occur d'Alenes.
so long as martial law, as pro-
claimed, prevails"
The above is supposed to be a
letter written by our worthy gov
ernor of Idaho to Mr.. Dick, who
is chairman of the Ohio republi-
can party, by a democratic gov
ernor. At the time this letter

was written, Ohio was engaged
in a hot political campaign, and
this CWur d'Alene affair had be-
come a national issue. The Won
derful permit system and the in
human treatment of prisoners
had aroused the Indignation of
labor unions and friends of labor
throughout the whole country
against the Mckinley admins
tration, and the republican party
did not want to be in any way
held responsible for the affair,
for it would injure their political
hopes. Governor Steunenberg
fell into the trap. He tells us
in the above letter that the Ida
no administration fathers all the
blame, aud the National admin
istration is in no way response
BILE. But then our Governor
may be mistaken. Does it seem
reasonable that Governor Steun-
enberg could order federal troops
into Shoshone county and retain
them there if the administration
at Washington did not sanction
it ? This is all bosh. Do you
suppose the federal troops of
the United States could be used
by the State administration to
enforce the permit system-a
system that required a man in
order to secure work to sign
away his freedom and manhood
unless the Mckinley admins
tration favored it I? Governor
Steunenberg may write a thous-
and letters to help the republican
party in its struggle for election,
but he cannot change the respon-
sibility, for both the Washing
ton and Idaho administrations
are responsible. One is as deep
in the mud as the other is in the
mire. The whole affair has been
a blot on Idaho's fair name.

AS illustrating the local condi-
tions at the time of the COM
mencement of operations by the
pioneer smelter in Colorado, it
may be stated that every single
friedrich used in its construc-
ton cost one dollar, having to be
brought by wagon about 600
miles from the nearest point on
The Missouri river, and to that
point by railroad from st. Louis;
the iron cost % cents per pound;
the pay of skilled labor was SO
per day, and of common labor "a
per day; and the charge for
smelling ranged from 500 to $45
per ton. There was no railroad
nearer than the Missouri river,
about 600 miles away; wagon
transportation was high, as also
were all the necessaries of life.
Moreover, the ''matte," the pro-
duct of the plant, in the absence
OF any local means of separating
or refining, had to be hauled to
the Missouri river in wagons,
thence by railroad to New York,
and thence to Swansea, Wales,
where it was separated and the
gold, silver and copper refined.
Today, there are nine smelling
plnats in COLORADO. The aggre-
gate daily capacity is $500 tons,
and about 1000 men are employed.

nizing that they are paying,
without recognizing that a part
of the price they pay is nothing
less than a fax contribution.
To keep up our Philippine
policy all the taxes that were i'm
posed to help pay the expenses
of the war with Spain must be
maintained. The estimates of
the cost of our military estab-
lishment, army and navy, for
the fiscal year 1901 and that will
be submitted to Congress foot up
to over 5000, 900, 900. The total
sum appropriated by Congress
for the sopport of our military
establishment for the fiscal year
1898 was but $50, 1872, 57S-about
thirty-three million for the navy
and twenty-three million for the
army. And now over 1925, OOO,-
600 is wanted for the army and
S74, ZOO, 900 for the navy. In
short, it is $3.50, 600, 900 a year it
is estimated our new departure
will cost us.
The profits on a good deal of
Philippine and China trade it
will take to reimburse us for this
expenditure, indeed more profits
than there are to be made in the
whole eastern trade, and we r
not likely to monopolize all this
trade aud the profits because of
the establishment of a post in
the Philippines.

G. f. Jenkins, in the Scientific
American, says that during the
year 1898 the United States bur-
eau of printing and engraving
issued 2, 500, 900, 900 of the com
mon red two-cent stamps, enough
to go almost twice around the
earth. Stacked one upon anoth-
err they would pile up $50 miles
beyond our atmosphere; equal in
weight to two of our big locomo-
tives, and would make a blanket
to keep the frost off the city of
Washington. If these stamps
worked in relays, each taking
the letter as far as allowed by
the postal regulations, the mes
sage would be carried beyond
the most remote star; and, at
the fastest speed at the disposal
of the postal authorities, would
occupy millions of times the age
of the earth in transit.

1t is stated that Quay of Penn
sylvania, is to be seated by the
United States Senate at it's ses-
sion next month. Last winter
the Pennsylvania legislature
failed to elect a senator, and the
governor appointed Quay. If he
is seated the Senate will recede
from its long established prece-
dent IN cases of this kind. But
the Senate will have a republican
majority this winter, and QUAY
is a republican, and this is the
reason. The old rule will have
to be set aside when a republi-
can is at stake.

Col. John w. Clous, judge-ad-
vocate of the army, department
of the east, defending the action
of the Carter court martial, be-
fore the United States Circuit
court at New York recently, held
that the action of a court martial
can not be reviewed by any civil
court. This seems strange doc
trine. 1t constituted one of the
main contentious of the French
generals in the Dreyfus case, but
was overralsd. 1t appears to
be sound legal principle that the
sentence of any court, military
or otherwise, if it can be shown
to be contrary to law, is subject
to revision by the supreme court.

The Navy department will

The ice mans new foe will
soon be on tap and it is liquid
air. Three gallons of it now only
costs Is cents and equals a ton
of ice for refrigerating purposes.
A gallon in a refrigerator will
keep things at a freezing point

is nominal, so that every com

one. This is one of the greatest
