WANT AMENDMENT.

A Salt Lake 7rf6une dispatch
says: A mass meeting was held
here today in the First Congre-
gational church, corner of Tenth
and G. streets, under the auspices
of the Woman's Inter-Denomina-
tional union, in the interest of the
proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States pro-
hibiting the practice of polygamy
in the United States and in all ter
ritory under its jurisdiction.
The auditorium of the church
was filled with interested listeners
to the addresses on this subject and
they rose as one when a vote was
called for upon the adoption of
resolutions urging Congress to act
on the amendment during the pres
ent session.
DR.. Josiah Strong, President o.
the Social League of New York
presided and delivered the opening
address. He called attention tc
the fact that about one year age
a mass meeting was held in thi:
church to oppose the seating O
Mr.. Roberts Of Utah in the House
of Representatives, and that peti
ton was sent to Congress to this ef
feet. This petition asked that
law be enacted prohibiting poly
gamy in all the States in the Unio1
| but that SO far nothing has beef
done in regard to this matter as re
quested, beyond referring the mat
ter to the judiciary committee
DR.. Strong then explained that th'
purpose of the meeting was tt
interest the general public as to tn
need for legislation relative to tn
practice Of polygamy and to bring
pressure to bear on legislators ii
this regard.

HOTEL AND SENATOR DEWEY

Hotel Dewey, at Nampa, now
looms up in the CHEEKY sunlight of
the plains with its fine proportions
and great size sufficiently outlined
to give beholder some conception
of what the biggest and finest hotel
in Idaho is to be when completed.
The framework is now all up to the
roof rafters and the towers which
are to adorn the ends of the long
building, and the brickwork which
is to face t0 its broad and ornate
cornices will be begun at once and
carried to completion as rapidly as
the weather will permit It is
pleasant for us to say nice things
about the doughty and enterpris-
ing Colonel-upon whom we enjoy
the distinction Of having bestowed
the title-and we take pleasure i'll
saying for him that he, more than
any other Of the citizens Of Idaho
who acquired wealth from her
mines, is eSpending his dollars in
the State where lie was one of the
early pioneers. His many enter
prises are building up southern
Idaho, and the Junction City, where
he has chosen to make his perma-
nent home, is rapidly growing into
bvSy business mart almost entire
ly through the impetus which his
lavish expenditures have given it.
The Colonel has already earned a
position which entitled him to sub
s.untial public recognition, and

as it possibly will, grow weary OF
wrangling over the choice Of sue

ARISTOCRAT ARRAIGNMENT.

Now that the elections are over
in Great Britain and the United
States, there is a disposition evi-
dent among literary philosophers. to
moralize over the result. One of
this class, apparently a very much
disgruntled Scotchman who has
lost faith in his brother men, writes
in Blacka00Od's Magazine (Novem-
bcr). His opinion of democracy in
general is interesting. Referring
to politics, he says:
"The silly paradox of those who
believe that the greatest wisdom
lies in the greatest number of fools
has been covered with ridicule.
Universal suffrage is happily a
sham. No member obeys the or
ders of his constituents; no member
goes to Westminster to carry out
the wishes of others. He goes
there for his own ambition, to sup
port his own frie1ids, or to expound
the theories which he keeps near
his heart. . For sixty years un-
iversa1 suffrage has been esteemed
a virtue beyond the reach of discus
sion; and droller theory was new
er put forth upon a state. We are
told that the intelligence of the
people is superior to the intelli-
gence of the expert-that any man
who can make his mark upon a
piece of paper is good enough to
have voice in the government of
the country. We would not choose
our carpenters or bootmakers on
these easy terms. But the theory
was accepted in 1882, and ever
since its application has been wild
ening. And the strangest truth Of
all is, that the extension of the
franchise has had no appreciable
effect upon the House of Commons

has always been, an oligarchy

WHAT ARE. WE COMING TO?

No one will attempt to dispute
the fact that Our higher institutions
of learning all over the country
are now devoted principally to
the encouragement of a number
of shock headed young fellows in
the dangerous and brutal pastime
of footbal1-a game which is far
more deadlyin its resultsthan prize
fighting, and does not all the evil
dence show that it is more degrad-
ing. Professional prizefights are
usually conducted with some sort of
secrecy, but football games are
witnessed by thousands of men and
women and children of both sexes.
It is we'll known that the players
intentionally slug and MAIN each
other and break each others bones
and thousands of spectators weekly
see men thus wounded carried from
the field in various parts of the
United States. It appears that ou1
universities have almost a monop

dangerous sport. Those who at

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Postmaster General Explains
Advantages.

Rural free delivery has proved to
be the most salient, significant
and far reaching feature of postal
delivery. Besides swelling the pos
tai receipts, the value of farms are
enhanced, through the necessity for
good roads and the opportunity af-
forded the farmer to keep abreast Of
the times by being put in closer
communication with the outside
world. The isolation and nonoto-
ny which has been the bane of
country life, is sensibly mitigated
through the effect Of rural free de-
livery in placing the farm within
daily range of the intellectual and
commercial activity of the world.
The farmer is also given cause to
feelthat he shares the Governmental
advan ages of the townsman, which
stimulates his loyalty and patriot
ism. ..-:~5... . ..r~st...,.
"With all these results clearly in
dicated by: the experiment as thus
far tried" says the Postmaster
General, rural free delivery is
plainly here to stay" -
Of the 1000, 900 people scatter
ed over 1,ooo,o 900 miles Of territory
to whose doors it is the task Of the
Government to arrange to carry the
mails through rural free delivery.
Postmaster General Smith says that
by the end of the current fiscal year
one-sixth of them shall have been
served, and 4,3oo routes in opera,
ton. The net annual cost of a
complete rural free delivery system
is. estimated at $I3787,254. On
this point the report says:
cit will hardly be disputed thai
the great result Of carrying the
postofice to every home, if it car
be accomplished at such compare
lively small cost, is an object wei
worth undertaking.

COPPER IN IDAHO.

Here in Idaho there have been
few finds of the native copper, and
it is not the general belief these will
prove permanent, but instead the
teachings from base body at a
greater depth. There are two es-
pecially prominent district where
copper is mined in Idaho--in
Washington and Custer counties.
Here are found ore ranging from
to SO per cent copper and the bod
les are large and permanent beyond
question. There is probably IN
the Seven Devils district of Wash
lngton county the greatest showing
of copper ore ever mining man
looked upon, in several instances
there being cropping of hundreds
Of feet in length and some of them
running up to 100 feet in width,
while in almost every instance the
values run above II per cent.
The character of the ore and the
country can best be described by
the statement that on the Blue
Jacket there has been shipped with
In the past year over $I5o,ooo
worth of copper ore-and not a
pound has run less than IS per
cent copper. This ore was not
robbing the mine, but, instead, de-
veloping it, as none of the gopher
Ing so often noticed in new sections
can be seen. The Peacock has also
shipped probably $4,000 of ore o
the same grade, but this property

MUST PAY TAXES.
Mining Property In Idaho Passed
to Patent Taxable.

Mining property, title to which
has passed from the Government to
private parties, is subject to taxa
ton in this State exactly like any
other form of property. Thisspoint
has just been decided by the su-
pre1ne court in the case of o. T.
Salisbury, respondent, VS.. Carl
Lane, assessor, appellant.
Under the decision a mining
claim is no longer a mining claim
within the meaning of the statute
of exemptions. after, it has, been
passed to patent, but becomes prop
erty. The decision is Of far-reach-
ing Importance, affecting most, if
not all, the valuable mining proper
ties of this State. The aggregate
value of these properties is very
large, and if it is added to the as
sessment roll of the State it will
make a material increase in the
taxable property. 3.
The case in which this decision
has been rendered grew out of the
assessment by the Assessor of Gus
ter county of certain patented mill
ing property belonging to Mr.. Sal
isbury. The assessor was proceed
ing to sell the property for taxes
when Mr.. Salisbury paid them un-
der protest and. then brought suit
for recovery. The case was sub
mitted to Judge Stocks1ager at
Haley on an agreed statement Of
the facts, and was decided against
the assessor. An appeal was taken
) to the Supreme court, where the
decision is reversed.
Mr.. Borah briefed the case and
argued it OH the theory that the
term mining claims" covers only
possessory claims, title to which
mas not passed from the Govern
ment.

WHERE THE CAMPAIGN FUNDS

# is interesting to know the sources
from which are levied these vast
sums of money. Some light is
thrown on the subjectin the W0r(d'S S
Work (November), from which the
following is condensed:
"The fund used to elect MI
Cleveland in 1884 came, in the
main, from dozen men, Mr.

and later advanced SIoo, 900, which
was never repaid. It is thought
that it was mainly to retrieve this
loss that he wrote his Twenty
Years in Congress-
":Mr. William Z. Scott contribu-
ton to the Democratic campaign
fund i'll 1888 was $3.50, 900. Other
generous contributors were Messrs.
Christopher G. Baldwin, E. c, Ben
edict, and Wi1lim c. Whitney, who.
added perhaps another quarter mill
ion to the fund; but the 1ibera1ity1
of Mr.: Cleveland's friends did not
prevent deficiency at the close of
the campaign Of 5000, 900, which
Senator Calvin S. Brice, then chair
man of the Democratic national
committee, is said to have paid out
of his own pocket. A large sum,
it has been said $500, 900, of the
Republican campaign fund of 1888
was collected by Mr.. john %Wana-
maker. An equal amount was
raised in New. York City through
the efforts of Mr.. Cornelius N. Bliss
and Governor Levi P. Morton.
Four days before the election, Sena-
tor Quay, who managed the Repub1i-
can campaign, felt the urgent need of
an additional $500, 900 and appeal
ed to Senator T. c. Plat. Senator
Platt at first protested that, in the
brief time, the task was an impossi-
bic one; but he finally accom-
plished it by discounting note
which, according to common belief,
bore the Endorsement of Mr.. Coils
P. Huntington. The largest con-
tributions to the Democratic CAM
paign funds four years ago were
made by the Silver interests'-the
owners Of silver mines.
"It is an open secret that the lar
gest subscriber to the Republican
campaign fund in 1895 was Mr..
William K. Vanderbilt, who volun-
t@ri1y sent his check for $4,000.

Just Why.
Editor of The Tribune

f-ultOr OF Inc IrlDunc-
Sir: In your editorial of December 20
last. detailing the great and growing
crime OF our county, you ask for suggcs-
tons When the rum-crazcd Ludden
was borne battered and insensible TO jail
after having murdered ore officer and
badly wounded another, the papers re-
marked that terrible things have taken
place at Old Forge of late years"
Why?
When the judges and the jury are con-
vened to inquire into the causes of I.ud-
den's act and to pronounce his doom let
them journey to the place where the
crime was committed When they have
traverscd its principal street and have
viewed the facilities permitted by the
men of Lackawanna county to be spread
before this prisoner, and toiling men like
him, to induce madness and crime, they
will have before them completely both
cause and effect. They will wonder, also,
II another place in the universe can show
more rum holes side by side than this
street of Old Forge.
Why? When every drop of liquor sold
there is offered in direct violation of the
contracts made by the men who bought
the lots on which their homes stand.
The owners of this land. ir opening it for
sale, fOreseeing the great misery possible
to the miners through liquor, forbade 1t
absolutely here in contracts which the
purchasers accepted as binding. Instead
Of being able to enforce these plain con-
tracts by the laws under which they
were made, the old owners have been
forced to stand aside and sec this devil $
work made of the whole place. What
reason have they or any others to deny
the charge long made against Lacka-
wanna county that 1t is easier to obtain
conviction for murder here than Ia
touch liquor selling in any manner what
sCever? Il. j.. Smith.
