State Treasurer Rice has re-
turned from his home in Ere
mont county. He stopped at
Blackfoot and secured the money
due the state from the Bunting
bank. which was turned over to
him by Receiver Thum. The
amount of the claim was S11, ,022.-
48, which was increased by costs
to $11, 160.16, which sum the
treasurer brought to Boise. This
money was tied up by the fail
ure of the bank in February,
1897, having been deposited by
State Treasurer Storer. The
proceedings in connection with
the matter are fresh in the pub
lie mind. The state finally secur-
ed judgment against the re
ceiver for the money on the
ground that it was trust fund
in the nature of a special deposit
and could not be mingled with
the assets of the broken bank

The riot at Wardner. and the
blowing up of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan concentrator, is a
misfortune to the cause of union
labor, while we admit this COM
pany has been an aggressive foe
to organized labor, but dynamite
is not an argument that appeals
to public reason. 1t has the very
reverse effect. LawlessneSs al
ways retards.
In their dispute with mining
companies at Wardner, the min
ers had a just cause. By invok-
ing violence and the use of dyn-
amite they have brought disaster
to themselves. The governor
has invoked the aid of the feder-
eral troops. Whether this ought
to be done is not the question.
The facts must be met that it has
been done, and these striking
miners now have to face bayon-
cts. For this, the men who so
far lost control of themselves as
to blow up this mill will alone be
responsible. Bayonets have put
down more than one just labor
strike, and were invoked by just
such riotous proceedings as
these. The effect will not be
confined to Wardner district
alone. 1t will be felt all over
the United States. The cause of
union labor rests on reason and
justice, and is to be won by argu-
ment and the ballot. and not by
Winchesters and dynamite.
There are many union labor
leaders who recognize this fact
and they should be prompt to
denounee these proceedings at
Wardner-
