Governor Steunenbe eFg Continues
His Testimony Before House
Commit tee.
ontinnance Of Martial Law
Justified by the Condi ditions
Existing,
Believed Civil Process INSULT

nation.

WASHINGTON, March ~ Governor
zSteunenberg cross examination con-
.tinued in the Occur d 'Alene inYestiga-
ton before the house committee on mil
itary affairs. Representative Sulzer OF
New York directed the cross examina-
hon, inquiring how the governor justi-
fed the continuance of martial law.
The witness said there had been q con-
tinuous state of rebellion in the Occur
d d'A1ene5 district, and while it did not
take on the form of armed resist
ance, there was at all times opposi-
ton to the policy Of the state author
tiles and an effort to thwart them and
to bring a renewal of the old condition
Of affairs. Mr.. Sulzer pressed for a
for specification of names and events
in this disorder. The governor said he
was not in favor Of solitary confinement
OF prisoners unless they were guilty of
some infraction Of prison rules. If such
imprisonment had occurred, he said, he
was responsible for it, although he did
not favor it except on the conditions
stated. When asked il he had con-
ferred with the Bunker Hill mine Of
fcials and others with a view to break
ing up the labor organization the gov
ernor said he had not He added that
in his Judgment, the labor organiza-
lions in Shoshone county existed only
in name, their real policy being ssdom-
mated by criminals. 2
Comitatus Not sufhcient.
When asked to specify the so-ca11ed
criminals, the governor said he did not
care to give names. Governor Steuen-
burg was asked why he did not resort
to the posse comitatus, calling on citi-
zens to aid the sheriff in maintaining
order. He said he did not believe the:
ordinary civil procedure was sufficient
to deal with the situation. He was
confronted with crisis, he said, and
acted to the best Of his ability and jjndg-
ment to meet the crisis, although it was
possible, he answered Mr.. Sulzer, that
he might have erred. .3555. II

this to say of another exposition,
and which may I've called for at an
earlier date than our somewhat
pessimistic contemporary ina
gines:
after the Buffalo, Charleston
and St Louis expositions there is
promise of still another. It is Just

the event shall occur, by q Univer-

There is positively no excuse
for able bodied negroes to be idle
these days. The farmers are after
hands every day and pay good wa
ges, but these loafers We see daily
about the saloons and streets have
no means of support, if not the
colored cooks that we empty in
our kitchens that can carry enough
grub to feed these burly negroes.
The marshall should drive all
these idle negroes out of town and
get clear of such nuisance. All
those who cannot show visible
means of support, of honest en-
ployment should be chased out to
the fields the place they belong.
We hope the councill will inforce

Mr.. ,Bryan's "Plain Duty"


It is q noteworthy fact that while
the Republican leaders claim that
Congress has eliminated the free
silver issue and that a Democratic
House and Democratic President
would be powerless' TO change
financial conditions as the gold men
are in majority in the Senate
and will so continue for at least
four years, they yet put fourth a
platform in which they bring the
silver question 10 the front again,
as if they believed impinent and
vital, and as if they REGARDED the
question represented by the two
words Monopoly and Imperialism
as of relatively very small impor-
tahoe.
There would appear to be two
reasons for this cunning dodge
one to provoke the Democratic
convention to retain the silver
plank in its platform, and the 9TH
or to divert public attention from
the military and commercial
crime of the party.
Mr.. Bryan is reported to have
positively declared that he will not
accept the nomination if the silver
plank is stricken from the platform.
One can readily understand how
an honest, conscientious man
could be inclined to such Q resolve,
as that is the issue upon which he
has been making the fight for four
years; how he would consider a
campaign Invested of that issue as
very like the play of The Prince
of Denmark with Halmet left out.
But at the same time, it would be
no reflection upon his sincerity
and political integrity to accept
q nomination unanimously tend
cred him. If the convention should
be willing to select him. with his
known views on silver. as the man
most fitted to stem the tide of Mo-
nopoly and Imperialism; in short,
to save the Republic from utter
ruin, he would have no moral
right to refuse the nomination.
These be perilous times, and it
behooves every patriot to face the
breach in whatever capacity is as
signed him, whether as comman-
der or as private soldier.

THE BRIKBAT CROP.
The Southern Farmer.

10 a recent issue of the Southern
'Cultivator, published at Atlanta,
the editor recounts an outing IN
the country he had recently enjoy
ed. He expresses his delight with
the extraordinary wheat crop now
growing in Georgia, indicative OF
the capacity of that great state to
raise something else than cotton,
the miles and miles of wi eat fields
now ripening showing the capacity
of that state to produce its own
supply of breadstuffs. The vary
ing quality of the wheat as shown
in the fields leads the editor to
some moralizing as to the cause
of the apparent productive OF the
crops, and the editor inquiries as
to when the time will come when
the farmers of Georgia will learn
the great lesson that the soil must
be pulverized before it will yield
up its plant food to the little roots
of the growing crops?
The largest crop he saw was the
sun dried brickbat crop. The land
had been plowed when it was too
wet and the spring winds and the
sunshine had done their work, and
the fields we're filled with millions
of little cubes of all sizes and de-
vrees of hardness. These little
cubes running from the size OF
squirrel shot to that of a cow pea,
q marble, a walnut, a mans first or
= mans head, can do nothing to-
ward producing a crop; only that
part of the soil which would pass
through a fine sieve willhelp any
in making a crop, and the proper
reflection upon this fact ought
70 lead our planters and farmers
70 a far more careful consideration
of the condition of the soil than
they now give to it.
II has been thoroughly proven
that the underlying soil, or hard
pan, does not posses the elements
of fertility 80 conductive to plant
growth that are present in the top
coil. It is necessary, however to
break up the bottom, or hardpan,
in order that our copious rainfall
shsll have a more spongy soil into
which to penetrate and to there
be held in reserve and yield its
moisture slowly as needed by the
growing plants. The fertility OF
the top soil and the moisture bear
ing capacity of the sub-soil are
equally requisite for the develop
ment of the plant growth.
The extremely rainy cultivAting
season that we have been having in
Louisiana during the last two
months has doubtless led to the
production of the brickbat crop
In many a Louisiana field. This
is very much to be regretted, but
the situation in some cases has
been SO desperate that it has been
difficult to determine whether to
lose the crop in the growing grass
or to work the land too wet, taking
the chances on the resulting injury.

Poison Rings.

The origin of the pretty custom Of plac-
ing the wedding ring upon the finger of
the bride seems to have sprung from the
Egyptians, who presented the bridal ring
as a token of intrusting the wife with all
the husbands property. The custom was
adopted by the early Christians, and thus
it has reached us in the present day,
when the ring is placed upon the brides
finger with the words, ''With all my
worldly goods thee endow."
Rings, however, have had other associ-
atoms besides those of marrying and Civ
ing in marriage. Some Roman rings were
hollow and filled with poison obviously
for the purpose of suicide, crime then
considered virtue. A modern instance
Of this carrying death upon the finger Is
that of Condorcet, who when arrested by
the notorious convention tore the jewel
from his ring and drank the poison which
lay in the hollow.

The Canny Scot,

A droll old Scotch farmer rode up to a
toll bar, and, finding the gate open, he
wheeled his horse round about just as
he passed through and shouted for the
tollkeeper, who was invisible.

git through yer gate VII horse"
"A shillin," shouted the tollkeeper,
making his appearance
"a shillin?'' echoed the farmer sarcas-
tically- mo shillin dye git frae me- I'll
ava hame again." And, wheeling his
horse for the second time, he rode off in
the direction he wished to go, chuckling
at the trick he had performed upon the
foIlke per.-London Tit-Bits.

slouch at looking out for itself. No
matter how high price car of mel
ons brings, they succeed in getting

The shipments will be made by

drop in prices since the season has
opened at other points makes express
shipments Improbable.
