By What Authority of Lawa

Attorney General Hays and Au
ditor Sinclair, aided by Gen. Mer,

dispatches, have inaugurated q
government by injunction" in the
Occur d'Alene country, wherein, il
is alleged by the big metropolitan
sheets, that they have removed
Sheriff Young and one county com.
missioner, and seem to have County
Attorney Samuels Spotted" By
what authority of law are those
officers, who are the peoples choice
removed2 Our Idaho law provides
that an elected officer must be first
tried before a jury in the district
court for malfeasance of office, and
convicted, before he can be removed
and until that time he is an officer
despite all removals based on the
Hays-Sinclair- Merriam law.
They even go further than this
in giving orders to the mine own
ers as to what kind of men they
must employ. AS everybody is
presumed innocent by our law un-
til found guilty, an injury is thus
worked upon innocent men and the
rights of mine owner are tramp
led over under apparent color OF
law. The union miners said the
Bunker Hill must not employ scab
men-the government representa-
tives say that mine owners shall
not employ union men. They are
both right or both wrong in exer-
cising their power.

There is evident confusions in the
councils Of the administration over the
question of official dealing with General
Miles and the 'eEIbaimed" beef frauds.
1t has become clear even 10 the duh and
sodden brains of Algerian apologists.
mat me public care not rap for the
forthcoming report OF the purb!intl
tcadies of the War Inquiry Commission.
Any attemrto assail General Miles on
grounds laid down in that Commission 5
report would react strongly upon the
or!ginators of such Il movement. The
real point at issue, as everybody out
side of the War Office sees at once. is
not whether the senior Major General
has INDUCED in unprofessional conduct,
but whether bad beef has been furnish
ed to the army. This is the only ques-
ton which Military Court of Inquiry
could consider should such Il tribunal
be ordered by the Executive, and the
war Department officials know very
well what the answer must be. They
could not hope to overcome In n fair.
open investigation the tremendous
weight of testimony which has been ac-
cumulatcd in camp and field against
"embalmed" beef and its purvcyors.
What, then, is President Mckinley to
DO? VIII he run with the Miles hare,
or hunt with the hounds of the Beef
Trust? Upon his decision in this matter
hang many momentous events in the
future-among them, it may be, his
own denomination and reelection TO the
Presidency. Those who stood as his po-
litical sponsors in his initial canvass
are clamoring for General Miles official
scalp, as the only adequate revenge for
that shrewd and outrageous officer
expose OF the rotten methods by which
rotten beef was forced as n ration upon
Federal soldiers. The people demand,
on the contrary, that the perpetrators
of this infamous fraud. whether con-
tractors or officials. shall be visited with
exemplary punishment and public dis
grace. The standard of honor may be
low With this administra tion, but no
one will believe that il could st0op to
the defense OF carrion as food for
American men at arms. Only the Pres
ident can save for the time being the
carton monCers and their agents in
the War Office. VIII he do this. or will
he eXtricate himself from perious
situation by cutting loose AT once and

The. maxim of "facit per alum, facit
per Sc applies to governments as we'll
as individuals, and hence it Is the gov
eminent that is doing all this business
through the banks and for the banks,
against the people and their power and
money. The government gives Smith.
as agent of n bank $4,000 on his de-
post of 100000 in l.. S. bonds (say,
per cents.,) and 1t pays Smith the 4
per cent interest on the whole amount
OF bonds deposited besides; and it au-
thorizes Smith (agenD to lend the $780,
600 at from to IL per cent. Il year to
the people. guarantees the notes as
good and redcems them, IL necessary.
or required. Smith for himself, as an
individual would be glad to get the
notes on the same terms; but he can't;
he would even be willing to have the 4
per cent. interest on the bonds suspend
ed While they are on deposit as secur-
ities-he thus being accommodated with
currency at . per cent. less than he
could get it from the banks, while the
government would save or receive 4
per cent. on the 100000 of deposited
bonds.
But, 1t will be urged, that the notes
are issued in blank by the Treasury to
the banks, that they sign and complete
them, lend them. collect them, and keep
the accounts; but why could not and
should not the Treasury do oil this, SO
far as necessary? II does a deal of sim
liar and more difficult business in every
department.; and the objection Is no
better than the usual empty one, that
private enterprise is more economical
and trustworthy than public service:
to which the daily history OF dishonest
banks and officers gives the daily lie
in the public prints.
And then how elastic" would be this
system of direct dealing between gov
eminent and people. without cormorant
ntermediariss. How fair-and simple,
1t would be the people dealing with
their own steward, in their own funds
In time of need of money or scarcity
of currency, the deposits would secure
the necessary expansions: when money
was abundant, the dcpositors of bonds
could return the borrowed currency and
recover their investments. 1t would
work like Il clock, And the government
has all the necessary machinery in the
Treasury Department, Postal Money
Order offices. &c, &c
