A PASSING ISSUE.

Whatever ones views may be
respecting the merits of the
silver question, no dispassionate
observer can help but be con-
WINGED that as a political issue.
for the present at least, it is pas
sing away. No clearer proof OF
this is needed than one may meet
in his daily intercourse with people
of all classes. The condition which
prevails is practically this: The
most radical and vociferous silver
men have become moderate and
decent spoken; firm but reason
able silver men have reached an
inquiring and doubling stage, and
are seriously asking themselves
If there are not questions of
equal or greater importance and
many have concluded that there
are, while all that vast body of
men who were never thoroughly
"sot" in their convictions have
completely abandoned silver.
This condition of mind among the
masses of the people is reflected
in the utterances and conduct of
acute leaders all over the coun-
try. Wharton Barker, wealthy
Philadelphia manufacturer and
pillar of bimetallism, who has
spent a fortune in advocating
silver, has given up the fight.
At the meeting of the National
Democratic committee a month |

acre rental, In other words, II
proposes to make the farmers pay
100000 for $I25.oOo canal,
and then make them pay forever
one. dollar per acre, or 100000 a
year, maintenance, whereas the
actual maintenance is only So
500 per year. Let us try to make
this clear. The canal mans pro-
position is to get $4,000 clean
profit on $125,ooo investment
and $26,5oo a year for nothing
throughout all ages to come. 1t
is admitted that the canal mans
scheme does not work out, but
that is no fault Of his. The trouble
is so far he has been unable to
compel the farmers to purchase
his perpetual rights. But he is
doing the next best thing. He
is making those who have not
purchased perpetual rights pay
an annual rental of $3.50 per
acre, which gives him net in
come, after paying maintenance
and interest, of about $4,000 a
year. He is not really getting
that yet, because he has not found
the required number of customers,
but the fact is that every farmer
who gets water is paying for it on
the basis of these immense profits.
# farmers will carefully study the
question of irrigation in all its
bearings, we believe they will de-
termilie to own and operate their
own canals, and when they do
that they will prosper. If they1
will not do it, the best thing
they can do is go where the good
Lord sendeth the rain alike on the
just and the unjust.

HAVE BEEN oUsTED.

On the 10th of this month
Judge Stewart rendered judg-
ment ousting the three commits
sionerS and the sheriff of Sho-
shone county. On the same day
Governor Steunenberg appoint
ed two Democrats and one Silver
Republican to fill the vacancies
caused by the ousting of the com
missioners. The governors &C
ton has the merit of promptness,
and indicates determination to
have none but friends in control
of Shoshone county affairs, OF
course, the governors commits
sioners will now see to it that the
right kind of a man is made
sheriff. The specified charges
against the commissioners ousted
by Judge Stewards decision were
that they allowed bills to the sher-
lit in excess of the lawful fees, is
sued licenses to liquor dealers
without proper applications or
bonds, and accepted insufficient
official bonds. 1t will readily be
that these offences
were not the inspiring cause of
the prosecutions, when it is con-

sidered that probably not halt a
dozen boards in the State are IN
nocent Of all of them. 1t is well
known fact that thousands and
thousands of dollars have been
paid to tax-collectors as commits
sion for collecting public school
monies, a thing the supreme court
has declared illegal; yet, we hear
of no County Commissioner being
removed on that account, and
there does not seem to be any
particular activity in the direction
of even recovering the monies
thus Illegally paid. 1t is also very
well known that many of the Of
fetal bonds are insufficient, and
that it would be practically i'm
possible to recover on them, but
in no case in this State, except the
present one in Shoshone county,
has there been any effort to GUST
commissioners because of it. The
truth of the whole matter is, that
the offenses of these Shoshone
county officers were used as a
pretext for getting them out of
the way, and placing the county
administration in Democratic
hands. 1t does not follow that
the removals are not a good thing
on general principles. Those
Shoshone officers are probably
strong sympathizers with the dy-
Mantle element, if not in actual
collision with them. They are
possibly dangerous men IN public
office. But it is nevertheless
interesting to note the promptness
with which the State administra-
ton turns the situation to political
account. The ousted officers will
but that is not likely to
avail them anything.

took with him the ark of the COW
enant and the ten tables with
him departed the last shred Of
goodness and wisdom. And now
he has transferred, with himself
the entire world -stock of political
virtue into the camp of Demo-
cracy. He tells us that the Re-
publican party has finally de-
termined to demolish the Repub-
lie and the Democratic party has
girded up its loins to avert the
disaster. We cannot doubt for
one moment that the darkness in
the Republican party, which is
the absence of Dubois light, has
fastened on this prodigious vii
lainy, and we are dead sure that
it is the presence of his light in
the midst of Democracy that in
spires that organization to noble
effort. If the Dubois light should
accidently be snuffed out alto
gether-G-whizz! The con-
temptation of such a catastrophe
would unnerve julie Bassett. Ac-
cording to Dubois, England and
the Republican party are going
in cahoots to enslave the Ameri-
can people, and put chains on the
wrists of all the weak and help
less nations of the earth. We
can't see any possible way of
stopping this horrible business
except by electing Mr.. Dubois to
the Senate of the United States.
1t viii be remembered that during
the time he was there he did not
allow any such tomfoolery. The
worst thing he permitted was the
continuation of the peon system
in old Mexico and he would have
broken that up if he was not
obliged to have it in his campaign
speech. But if we send him back
to the Senate, he will quit giving
down his beautiful philosophy and
that will be a calamity greater
than the downfall of the Republic.
We are indeed in a bad dilemma.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-07-15
BAD DILEMMA.

We can't understand how it
comes that some college or Uni
versity has not conferred a few
degrees on the Hon. Fred T.
Dubois of Blackfoot. He is truly
a political doctor and as much en-
titled to wear p. d. on his name
as is the Hon. Grover Cleveland.
Can't the College of Idaho do the
business? 1t is too bad to let a
political physician of Dubois
quality founder around all this
time without degree to his back,
except the grand bumper. He
has recently relieved himself of
some very ponderous ideas, quite
as bulky as anything ever deliver
ed by the Hon. Grover Cleveland.
and very much OF the same tex
ture. 1t is most fortunate for the
world at large that Mr.. Dubois
was retired from active politics.
Had he continued to hold Office
his grand and melancholy phil
osophy would have been lost to
mankind, for which misfortune
his services would be but poor
recompense. It is fortunate, too,
that he took himself out Of the
Republican party at the oppor-
tune time; for, had he remained,
the splendor of his fame would
have have been hopelessly tar
nished by contact with the in
creasing folly and corruption of
his associations. When he left
the Republican party it is clear he

ONE FOR ALCOHOL.

Prof. w. o. Atwater, of Wes-
leyan University, good old
Methodist institution, has had an
able bodied Swede in a cage for
six or seven weeks feeding him
whiskey for the purpose of as
Certaining the physiological effects
Of alcohol on the human system.
The result of the professors ex-
perimentationS prove that a Swede
can take about two ounces of alco-
hol daily with beneficial effect, and
the popular inference is that to
the extent of about three drinks
of whiskey a day, alcohol is a
nourishing and Strengthening diet.
This announcement coming from
a scientific Methodist is awaken
ing lively but diverse emotions.
The school book authors and il
Illustrators who have been exhibit
ing vermillion stomachS as the
penalty imposed on the most
moderate imbibers are filled with
CONSERVATION and are heaping re-
proach on the heretical professor,
while those ola Convivial turn are
gleefulIy clapping him on the back
and urging him to raise the limit
to at least six ounces. In order
to measure the value of Prof. At
waters discovery, it is necessary
to ascertain and analyze all the
facts surrounding his experiment.
That one Swede has been able to
take two ounces of alcohol a day
and get fat on it, does not prove
that all Swedes would derive the
same benefit, much less does it
prove that all people would. The
evils of alcohol, however, on the
physical man, are minor consider
atoms and we have always
thought that the public text books
IN the subject were extravagant.
They were never designed for
ne purpose of imparting scientific
knowledge, but rather as disguis- !
ID emissaries of temperance. We

Mantle persists in keeping his
silver speeches in his grip sack
and talking nothing but expansion.
In Kentucky the Democrats got
silver plank into their plat
form and put a gold candidate
for Governor on it. In
Utah, expansion and Mormon
ism have displaced silver as a
practical issue. In Idaho, no
body but Fred Dubois and a
Boise weekly paper seem to pay
any attention to silver, and recent
w Mr.. Carruthers, associate editor
of Senator Stewards great silver
paper, took occasion to tell the
people of Ogden, Utah, that, "Sil-
yer as a national issue is dead. :"
"There is no more chance" said
he, "to resurrect it in the cam
paign of 1900 than there is to
elect a Populist President" Mr.
Carruthers believes in the princi-
pie of free coinage, but he has no
hope for it.

Boise has begun building rail-
roads again at a terrific pace. Sta
tistics tell us that before the end
of the present year there will be
railroad enough in the United
States to build a double track to
the moon. Evidently Statistics
had no information of Bosses in
tentions or they would have re-
ported enough to reach the sun.
Among other roads, Boise will
build one to Caldwell. That is
all right. 1t will put Boise in
touch with the great outside
world. They are going to build
a wagon road to Cape Horn, too.

given everything its approval and
operations will begin next Mon

IRRIGATION

For a number of years TIKI
TRIBUNE has believed and adj
vocated that there would be nc
considerable development Of the
vast agricultural resources of this
section Of Idaho until few things
happened. Among these was
such a settlement of the water
question as would put the irri-
cation systems under the direct
management and control of the
farmers themselves. The expert
ence of this season has fully con-
firmed all we have ever commended
for along the line. The situation
briefly described is this: Thous :
ands and thousands of inches Of
water are daily running to waste
down the Boise river, while at
the same time the crops along its
course are burning up. The
blame for this deplorable condi-
ton does not attach to any in
dividual but is chargeable TO the
irrigation system in vogue. 1t is
not necessary to enter into detail
and argument. Everybody knows
that the system is a failure.
Everybody knows that the canal
companies are loosing money
every year, and that farmers are
in the same fix, Let us present
a few plain facts. In the arid
country irrigation and everything
pertaining to it is just as much
part Of farming as is blowing, or
sowing or reaping. The irriga-
ton canal is as much tool of the
farm as is the plow or drill or
horse. Could a farmer succeed
who every year hired his agricul-
tural implements and teams and
paid big rental for the use of
lhem9 He could not. But this
would not be as bad as hiring the
use Of an irrigation canal. Here is
what farmers who deal with ir-
rigation companies have to do:
First, they must pay interest on
he alleged cost of the canal which
s always two or three times more
han the actual value; they must
pay dividends on the stock which |
s the only thing about the canal
lbundantly watered; then they
must pay extravagant salaries 10
he managers, This win be de-
lied by canal owners. But here
ire some figures made by a canal
,wner. The value of certain
anal is placed at $1a5 600 and
he number of acres it is calculat-
d to serve is 10000. The annual
maintenance cost, actual, is $4,000, I
interest on bonds, at 7 per cent
$3.50, total annual expense Sra

ents. Now this company
as been demanding $40
