1t is said the discovery has been
made that it is possible to raise and
ripen grain in the Klondike, and large
fields of wheat, barley and oats are to
be sown. The country cannot be made
profitable for general agriculture, but
the raising of breadstuffs will be a
source of profit to some people. 1t is
likely that those who raise grain to
feed the miners will make more money
than the miners.

the law has no support but public
sentiment. It is bad for the min-
ers' cause, bad for the credit Of the
state that justice should miscarry
in this case. Nothing but the
sympathy and the prejudice excit-
ed by the unprecedented action OF
Governor Steunenberg could have
saved the necks of the murderers
at this time. This prejudice is
the fruit of a war against poiiti-
cal power and a class. 1t may
have been necessary TO declare
martial law 10 restore order and
apprehend criminals on and imme-
diately after the outbreak OF April
goth, but there is no occasion for
the imprisonment of a class OF
men indefinitely without trial. The
governor exceeded the demands of
Justice in this war, and he saved
and impaired the dig
nifty of government by prostituting
power to selfish ends.

A remarkable case developed i'll
the courts of this county this week.
Two debtors were arrested on an
affidavit charging probable at
tempt 10 defraud by absconding.
The case came to trial, judgment
was obtained in regular order for
the amount of the claim Of the
plaintiff. The defendants sur
rendered themselves to the officers
of the court to release their bonds
men, who went security for them
when they were apprehended up
on the warrant that instituted the
case. Though the complaint al
legged no fraud the evidence elici
ted brought out facts on which
the justice may have formed an
opinion Of the justification of the
crime alleged in the original war
rant. AT any rate the court COM
mit.ed the debtors to the custody
of the sheriff with the sentence
that they be confined in Jail till
they were discharged according to
law. This conviction and SEN
tence was brought under statutes
Of this state. The lesson of the
whole proceeding is that a man
may be committed for debt in this
state and kept in prison for the
term of his natural life without a
right of trial by jury at the option
of his creditors if the court should
prove merciless. One strange con
clusion of this law is that 10 Grim
inai action is necessary and nc
trial upon the merits of the case
The plaintiff is required 10 boart
the prisoner and when he refuse
to furnish the daily meals, tn
sheriff is instructed to discharg
. the debtor. In the Lewiston cx
amples of this week the plaintiff
, was not sufficiently heartless L
hold ithe debtors in Jail when hi
: collection seemed to be forlorl
: hope, and he permitted their dis
. charge. 1t will be a surprise t
!. many to hear that a man can b
4 imprisoned indefinitely in thi
, state for debt. AT least prece

books to support such a proceed

Gold Standard CneapenS Money.

Why is it that our populistic
friends and their popuiistically in
clined allies, the democrats, have
ceased to cry for cheap INTEREST,"
And why is it that we hear no
more about the bloodthirsty banks
with all the gold of the country |
boarded up in their vaults? The
calamity press is wonderfully
silent on these subjects. Here in
Lane county year or two ago it
took gilt-edged security to obtain
loan, and then it could not be
had for longer than one year. The
prevailing rate of interest then was
8 to 10 per cent, and it was seldom
that a loan could be had at the
lower figure. The prevailing rate
of interest TODAY in Lane county is
6 to 8 per cent, and some capital
lists have offered on extra good
loans to part with their money at
S per cent. Farmers who could not
borrow money a few years ago at
any rate of interest, can get all they
want today, at 6 per cent for the
greatest length of time that the
law will allow a loan to be made.
The gold OF the country is not
locked up In vaults to-day, but is
anxiously seeking investment. 1t
is within the reach OF the people,
but, strange to say, the people do
not want it, except in limited guam
titles. Although we have the rate
Of interest decreased nearly half,
the people are borrowing less
money than they were before the
panicky times, when interest was
stiff as 10 per cent. The mortgage
Indebtedness of the country is de.
creasing, and the people are going
out of debt and putting their money
!, into the banks. All this happened
, under a republican administration
although the free-silver democrat.
. and their allies, the populists, tolt
{ us during the last campaign that il
+, Mckinley was elected, dire result:
/, would follow. Our friends have
; got the cheap interest they asked
for, and without any effort on thei
, part, Will they give the party il

When the trying times come in

have had month Of hardships at

Justify than ever, that the cause

one course for the American army

only liz victory over the natives,

If Governor Sleunenberg had
waged his C9ur d'Alene war
against individual criminals and
not against a party, an organiza-
ton or a class, there would have
been none to criticise or oppose his
good work. If every criminal
Of that county could have been
given the maximum penalty under
the law for his acts of violence, not
even a protest would have been
heard in al the broad land. The
question involved Is not one Of
number or names, but of principle.
Ii every murderer in the Cnur
d'Alenc could be hanged, and the
limit of punishment could be Civ.
ell to every criminal Of less de-
gree the cause of labor would be
promoted, and the dignity of the
law would be upheld by citizens Of
Shoshone county. Of Idaho and Of
all the United States. AS the war
is waged against the miners union
directly, against principle gem
orally, and maniies,ly for selfish
reasons on the part of the COVER
nor, it is not supported by public
sentiment. The labor organiza-
tons are opposed to this war, and
they control IS 900 votes In the
west alone. Other organized la
borers in sympathy with the miners
are arrayed 400, 1000 strong. This
sympathy has developed into ac-
tive opposition to the martial.law
methods invoked by Steunenberg.
This influence will reach every
courtroom from Shoshone county
to Washington, d. c. This in
fluepce is a bitter prejudice that
will make no discrimination
when their men are put to trial.
This prejudice, which the govern
or's actions justify, will let the
guilty men escape. The state will
be disgraced when the murderers
are permitted to escape the gallows,
aud their escape is due TO the ex-
treme measures inspired by Steun-
berg's selfish motives. II the
governor had put men instead OF
political issues and class prejudice
upon trial the merits of the indi-
vidual cases would have been ex-
in a measure. When the
sympathy of hundreds of thous.
