SOUND THE AlARNa.

Our friends, the Idaho Prohibit
ionists, are up against the real
thing. Adjustment Of the army
canteen, while something of an I'm
dertaking in its way, is a picnic
taske when compared to the next
job on hand. Now, there must be
adjustment of small, imperfect and
decayed fruit, or possibly prohibition
Of fruit raising entirely. A staid
professor, one Alexander McPher-
son, Of the State University, para
site on the public treasury, a man
Of hendish inspirations, has per-
fected an invention or discovery, or
formula, whereby from four bush
els Of rotten apples-very rotten
he extracts one gallon of the very
finest brandy, delicious Of favor
and filled with convivia1ity. This
excellent product readily fetches
$500 per gallon, wholesale, and
the cost of metamorphosing putrid
fruits into pure, sparkling spirits is
only about 10 cents per gallon.
From three bushels of rotten
peaches, gallon of equally fine ex-
liberation is made; and with rotten
primes, ah, the generous prune, 100
pounds yield of fluid nectar, a
round gallon, of the value of three
good plunks. The MANNED, crippl-
ed, atrophied and wormy fruits yield
quite as handsomely as the decayed.
Every kind and quality is, so to
speak, fish for the Mcpherson net.
Now, here is the crux. Up to the
present time fruit growers annually
suffered heavy losses on account of
decayed and imperfect fruits. This
formerly waste product will hence
forth yield handsome return. The
profits of the orchard, therefore,
generously augmented, and inciden-
tally the manufacture of spirits
vastly increased. What is to be
done? How can the propagation
of rotten, imperfect and wormy
fruit be prevented? Then to think
that the Mcpherson discovery can
not be wrapped up tight in his viii
famous bosom, but must be publish
ed to the world. And moreover
and again, imagine your Idaho
orchardist, perhaps of temperance
inclinations, going out of a raw
morning in quest Of a rotten apple

him a bumper of fine old brandy.
The outlook is threatening, and the
forces of prohibition must bestir
themselves.

a NEW PROJECT,

Some Of Our citizens are talking
up project which, if practicable,
possesses great merit. The idea is
to convey water to a point near the
Gipson place, northeast Of town,
where 1t can be utilized for irriga-
ton of farms and orchards, for irri-
cation of town lots and for supply
ing power to generate electricity.
1t is believed that the scheme is
feasible and that in time it would
become a profitable undertaking.
The gentlemen who are interesting
themselves in this matter will have
careful surveys made together with
plans and specifications aud esti-
mate of costs. The land owners
who would be benefited are will
ing, it is said, to bear a share ofthe
burden, the irrigation district
might also give some assistance and
the town will be asked to do what
is right. THE TRIBUNE is not in
position to say anything respecting
the practicability of this undertak-
ing, but clearly sees the great bene-
fit that the town would derive from
having good supply of water for
ty or fifty feet above town-level.
We think the people Of Caldwell
should give this project careful
consideration, and suggest that
they take interest enough in it to
assist in such preliminaries as are
necessary to determine its feasibil-
bility. $3.50. II.

ing the taxes is proven to be true
for Porto Rico. This revenue will
be constantly increasing as our
trade increases, as it is sure
to do. 1t has helped the con-
sumner, for it has lowered the taxes
he has to pay, not only ON Ameri-
can goods, but upon all goods that
enter our our market in COMPETE
ton with them. This results in an
increase of importations. This
helps the producer by constantly
providing him a means to carry his
goods to the American market,
which is always SO hungry for the
products this island has to dispose
of. Again, unless we have a traffic
both ways, the steamers must make
one trip without a cargo and the
freight is thereby doubled.
A tariff helps us as borrowers;
it will give our securities a stand in
the United States, which they
could not have without a perman-
ent revenue like the tariff revenue.
The argument SO often advanced
in flavor of a tariff tax as against
other means Of raising revenue,
that it is easily collected, is especi-
ally forcible in Porto Rico. We
would advise that the tariff is nee
essary,s and if it were not it would
still be the most convenient and
logical means ofraising our revenue.
Let the tariff stand at IS per cent. !"

should demand that Congress enact

with heavy penalties, against haz-
ing or anything that smacks of it.

sible is being done to smooth over

FaVOrS The Tariff.

Speaking of the Porto Rico tar
if, over which the Bryanites made
such a dolorous outcry during the
late campaign, the San Jaun (Porto
Rico) Daily MezOs says:
If the people of Porto Rico
through the Legislature desires to
continue the tariff it can be done.
A precedent has been established
which viii permit this class of tax

thatsuch action is constitutional.
If the tariff is abolished, it is at
once evident that more burden

Where and upon what shall this be
levied, is indeed a perplexing
question.

that may or will arise from the
abolition of the tariff let us

GALL 1T VICTORY

Recently the writer took occa-
sion to congratulate good Demo-
cratic friend on the victory of his
party in this State. ''Victory,"
said he, suffering Moses! where is
it! Would you call decentralization
victory? Just look at the situation.
In order to secure two or three
State officers, we have bartered
away the integrity, the very exist
ence of our party. We have pledg-
ed ourselves to replace Mr.. Dubois
in the United States Senate, than
whom Democracy never had more
vir1lent enemy. We have elected
to Congress Populist nonentity-
harmless, inane creature, full of
smiles and vacuity. Do you call
that Democratic victory?" But,
said we, those gentlemen will afdli-
ate with the Democratic members
Of Congress. Affiliate" groaned
our Democratic friend, affiliate, of
course they will. And they will
keep on afiliating as long as we
pay them for doing so with fat Off
ces. They would affiliate with the
Boxers or any old thing for Office.
When we quit giving Offices to
them they will quit affi1iating, just
as, in the past, every other Silver
Republican and Pop. has done. Do
you find Clagett 'filiating any
more? Any 'ffi1iation on the part
Of Edgar Wilson or Mart Partrie?
Not a bit of it. Then we made
Pop. Jones, State Auditor, and the
Respondent julie Bassett, Secretary
of State. Do you regard that as
Democratic victory? I can swear
by the big toe Of the Holy See that
never was Democracy more 1ibeled,
Inundated and demoralized than
by its upstart leaders in Idaho"
But, we interposed, you have the
satisfaction of defeating the Repub-
licans. YES" said he, "there is
room for a little feeting consola-
ton in that. But I want to tell
you something. The Republican
party is only defeated; the Demo
cratic party is destroyed. 1t is
broken up into warning and incon-
gruous factions. The better e1e-
ments are disguised and discour-
aged. Two years hence there will
probably be five parties in the field,
the Republican, Populist, Demo
Populist, Labor and Prohibition.
The Republicans will win and
think 60 on winning for many
years. Those are my views" Do
you think Mr.. Dubois will be elect
ed to the Senate? we inquired.
"T>hat's hard one," he answered.
dubois has no personal following
in the Legislature. His whole
hope hangs on the Pocatello pledge.
There is probably not a Democrat
or Populist in the Legislature who,
down in his heart, does not want
to break that pledge. They realize
that it was a political trick and
they bitterly resent the imposition.
They are not in anywise legally
bound to fulfill that pledge; and
there certainly can be no moral OBJ
legation. 1t is merely a matter of
political good faith akin to the debt
honor which the greehorn owes to
the sharpers that robbed him.. If I
were in the legislature, would not

FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES
Two Oklahoma Towns VIII PrObab iy
Buy Their WaterwOrfks.

Guthrie, o. T., July 2L-Municipalities
in Oklahoma are going in for the owner
ship of public utilities. Oklahoma City
and FL Reno will probably purchase their
water works system. At Oklahoma CITY
the people will vote next Tuesday upon
a proposition to erect city hall, cen
struct sewer system and purchase 1the
plant of the Oklahoma City Water Works
company. The price asked for the wafer
works plant is sS5, 900. In the discussion
of the proposition the question of the ad-
visibility of municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities has been involved and the
fight has become a heated one. Among
the opponents of the water works propo-
sition the claim has been freely urged
that the purchase price asked is con-
siderably more than the actual value of
the property.
At FL Reno, according to the News
there, a proposition has been made by
the city council to purchase the city
waterworks. According TO the proposition
made the city will pay 100000 for the
plant in installments of $1,000 per year.
Under the present plan the cost for The
use of the plant is 50, 500 besides the cost

The opinion seems quite general that
the town should own the water works
The only question or difference Of opinion
is one Of terms. The company wants TO

sition. The question then is. is the plant
