PHIL oil OGiCAL COlLABORA-
TORS.

The Hon. Bartlett Sinclair and
the Hon. Weldon B. Hepburn have
become co1laborators in the field of
pathological research, and in
Justice to these eminent gentlemen
it shall be said that they have made
some novel discoveries. The Hon.
Bartlett, after fixing a moral and
political status for the Republican
party, learnedly proceeds to inter-
pret the meaning of its declarations
from the premises established by
himself. His reasoning is clear and
his conclusions overpowering.
Speaking of the. plank in the Re-
publican State platform which has
reference to the permit system, he
argues on this line: my conten-
ton is based upon facts" Bartlett
is to be congratulated on choosing a
strange and untried battle ground.
First" says Bartlett, "it would
be wrong to condemn 1.-THE per-
NIT system. Now, that is genuine
inspiration, isn't it? "And," says
Bartlett, ''the Republican party
seldom does wrong" Wouldn't
that knock you off. the sidewalk?
Bartlett Sinclair, who, for the last
tour years, has been ramping over
the State solemn1y accusing the Re
publican party ofevery crime known
to political greed, tyranny and cor
ruption, turning about and cody
announcing that the Republican
party seldom does wrong, and even
before the echoes of his last curses
have ceased to audibly vibrate.
We most heartily congratulate the
Hon. Weldon B. Hepburn On the
stroke of fortune which made it
possible for him to become COLA
borator with the Hon. Bartlett Sin
clair. We ought to explain here
that the fruits of the 1abors of the
affiliated philologists appear con-
Junctlvely in the Boise Statesman
OF July goth in the form of queries
and answers. The Hon. Bartlett
Sinclair, addressing himself to the
Hon. Weldon B. Hepburn with
reference to the clause in the Re-
publican platform which affirms the
right of every man to seek employ
ment' says, in effect, that plank
means nothing in, particular, does
II not Weldon? Whereupon Wei:
oon responds, nothing, except an
animation of the right of those
owning the mines of the Cnur d.
Acne country to operate them, free
nom the interference of the e1e
ment that has caused the trouble
IN that country, Those gentlemen,
after carefully determining what
the Republican party ought tc
mean if it would not insane1y risk
acontiict with their views, mutually
ana lrrevocably announce what it
does mean. Mr.. Sinclair, with I'M
fufned calmness and superb gail
announces that the Republican
q party of Idaho meant to and die
unaualifedly endorse the Demo
uauc State Administration, per

BONDS CARRIED.

With unaninity rarely equaled
in an election of such Importance
the people of the Pioneer Irriga-
ton District voted to authorize the
issuance Of $500, 900 of bonds for
the purpose Of completing an irri-
cation system for the district. We
cannot but regret, however, that
such light vote was cast. The
reason of it is, of course, we'll un-
derstood here, but abroad it will be
hard for people to understand. The
fact that everybody seemed to be
favorable was not a good excuse
for anybody to be Indifferent about
voting. We apprehend though
that majority of the voters have
not yet come to a full realization of
the Importance Of the step taken
and it will require time to make
them thoroughly sensible of it.
We firmly believe that one Of the
wisest movements ever known to
this section is now we'll under way.
We believe it means more of sub
stantial prosperity and contentment
to this locality than any single
thing that could be accomplished.
There will, no doubt, be more or
less friction before the machinery
is put into smooth working order.
But there will be no serious troub-
lie if the people of the district are
animated by the right spirit. 1t is
| incumbent on each and every one
of them to feel that he has a direct
personal interest in the success OF
the undertaking; that if there is a
hitch in any particular he is more OF
less responsible for it. Every man
should take hold with will deter
mined to work harmoniously and
energeticalIy with his neighbors'
There should be frequent meetings
and discussions touching the best
methods of working out the prob
lens that will from time confront
the directors, and above all there
should be a general feeling of con
fidence in the final successful out
come, The proposition is purely
! cooperative. Every individual
must be willing to yield something
for the general good. Every mai
must feel kindly interest in his
neighbor's welfare as well as hi
own. Cotnmonsense, honesty ano
a moderate degree of enthusiasm
!, will surely work success. There l.
no mystery about irrigation. It i
all plain matter of business. w

the Washington 7asdsbeNde0t. Il
u Il is this way. The man >who
contends that Congress, which is a
creature OF the Constitution, can
leglsIate for Porto Rico or any 9TH
er people not under the jurisdic,
fion Of that instrument, is simply
fool or a liar. The Constitution
is the organic law and grant of
power and Magma Charta Of
this country. Congress has no
more authority to legislate where
its power does not extend than has
q foreign power to make our laws
in this country.
There might be some little point
in all that if the Constitution itself
did not say, "The Congress shall
have power to dispose Of and make
all needful rules and regulations re-
specting the Territory and other
property belonging to the United
States" Ifthe Constitution of its
own force located itself and spread
itself over all of the territory be-
longing to the United States what
occasion for that provision7 But
let us look into this thing. The
United States when the Constitu-
ton was formulated consisted of
thirteen separate and independent
States. The territory then that en-
tered into the composition of the
United States was merely the terri
tory owned by those States, and at
the time of the adoption of the Con-
stitution the United States did not
own a foot of territory anywhere
under the broad canopy of heaven.
The several States, though, when
creating the United States gave it
power to acquire territory in its
own name and its first territorial
investment was the acquisition of
the District of Columbia. It next
went into the business of territorial
acquisition on magnificent scale
and in 1903 purchased the Province
of Louisiana from France and pro-
ceeded to make all needful rules
aud regulations for its government.
In 1879, Florida was purchased
from Napoleon without the consent
or even the knowledge of the gov
erned. In I845 Texas was forcibly
annexed and in 1848 nearly all the
territory now constituting Ca1ifor-
MIA, Arizona, Nevada and Utah,
and parts of Wyoming, Colorado
and New Mexico was acquired by
conquest and purchase. The very
first thing Congress always does
and always has done upon the ac-
quirement of new territory is to
make rules and regulations for its
government, and Thomas Jefferson
himself was the first great states
man to announce the principle and
put into operation the practice OF
Withholding from such territory the
full operation of the Constitution
until Congress in its discretion
might deem it wise to extend all
its privileges to the people of the
new territory. AS a matter of fact
and common, uniform experience,
Congress has from the very begin
ming withheld the Constitution OF
parts of it from all the Territories
belonging to the United States,
even the Territory of Idaho. Fo1
upwards of generation the flag oi
the Union floated over the Terri.
tory of Idaho before it passed from
the territorial condition into that Of
Statehood, but we only had tc
console and encourage us in all
those years such such fragments o.
the Constitution as Congress saw
fit to inject into Our organic law.

LITTLE OCCASION FOR RE.
JOICINGS.

VVbNhlNVOa ssEsaha'
While there is to Republicans
some degree Of qualification in con
templating the eruption, disruption
and corruption which characterized
the conventions Of the reformers at
Pocatello, there is nothing in the
overthrow of Governor Steunen-
berg pleasing to the senses of any
respectable political opposition. Of
all the fusionistic elements in this
State at the present time, that rep
resented by Governor Steunenberg
is probably the most respectable,
and, contradictory, as it may seem,
this is true despite the fact that the
leaders Of his fight are less reputa-
BILE than the leaders of the opposi-
ton. This latter statement can be
easily verified by a glance at the
leaders of both factions. For Steun-
enberg are such men as Phil Averitt,
Arbuck1e and Asa Abbot; against
him, Judge StocksIager, Jim Ried,
Major Wood, Judge Quarrels and
Jim Hawley., Yet, we believe that
of the rank and file of the Democ-
raCy the more conservative and
substantial element is favorable to
Steunenberg. We also believe that
with some of the leaders in opposi-
ton to him, his Coeur d'Alene pol
icy was not the principal ground of
antagonism. They simply used
that as club, conformab1e to the
demands Of the National organ
ization. Upon the whole it is
not complimentary to the general
good sense and honest purpose of a
considerable portion of the people
of Idaho that Governor Stennen-
berg should be turned down in the
manner he was by the forces at
work, neither is it a pleasing pros
pect to contemplate the possibility
of the element triumphant at Poca-
tello controlling and directing the
affairs of this State. In such an
event the last condition would clear,
| ly be much worse than the first.
However, such are the legitimate
fruits of fusion Governor Stenu-
enberg has enjoyed the sweets, he
must try to endure the bitter with
equanimity. The people of Idaho
are in the same fix. The majority
of them have been hot for fusion
or four years, and if it roasts them
to a finish, they must try to look
pleasant over it. We believe that
Governor Steunenberg is wholly
responsible for his own downfall
It has been his fixed policy to gath
er about him the most inferior mer
of his own party. His bosom
friends and political advisers have
been men of questionable repute
little influence and no ability. His
methods within his own party have
been borrowed from Dubois, whose
creed is, no equals. In, this day
and generation, no man will Ions
maintain political prestige withou
the support of men equally a:
strong and able as himself. A pol
iticians strength is the aggregate
strength of his friends and. not hi
personal superiority. Alas, how
many men tumble down because
they fail to realize this simple fact
How many men so early to a po
! litica1 bone yard because they at
tempt to march to glory over tht
political corpse of every possible
rival! The true test of greatness
is ability to discover it in others
and the only conservator of powel
is the friendship of able and con
scientious men,. .t--..

POLITICAL POINTS.
BY POLITICIAN.

Fron1 the laws Of Idaho, respect
fully dedicated to Governor Steun-
enberg, Bartlett Sinclair and w. B.
Hepburn: Il.
Any officer who shall knowingly
bring, or cause to be brought, or
aid in bringing into this State any
armed or uaarmed body of men for
suppression of domestic violence,
shall be liable in a civil action etc, J"
Approved February 2, 1899, Frank
Steunenberg, Governor. In, less
than three months the same COVER
nor utterly ignored that law and
brought armed bodies of men into
the State to suppress domestic vio-
lence. From the laws of Idaho, re-
speotfully dedicated to Governor
Steunenberg: "It shall hereafter
be unlawful for any private corpor-
alton doing business in this State
to give employment in any way to
any alien who has failed, neglected
or refused, prior to the time such
employment is given, to become
natura1ized or declare his intention
to become a citizen Of the United
States - That is Democratic bait
for catching the labor vote. And
it is a daisy. 1t was approved by
Governor Steunehberg Feb'y 10,
1899, and the penalty for its viola
ton isfne and Imprisonment. Ever
hear of its being enforced against
anybody, and yet there are Japs and
Chinese employed by the thousands
in this State. #-:- " '"
The DeLamar Nugget advises
candidates who have announced as
pirations subject to the Owyhee
County Silver Republican Conven-
ton, to haul down their signs, be-
cause there wont be any Silver Re
publican county convention until
the death gurg1e is heard in the
throat of another dying century,
or words to that effect.
Wonder if the Miners Union has
filed its trade mark, the. Bull Pen
Button, with the Secretary of State,
as provided by law. Governor
Steunenberg on February IS, 1899,
gave his approval to an act of the
legislature specially protecting the
trade marks of labor unions. 1t
carried the emergency clause, too.
When Jefferson wrote into his
great international campaign docu-
ment, governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed" he had no idea his fol-
lowers hundred years later would
construe it to mean that govern
ment should be turned over to the
ungovernable.
According to Sam Jones the
thing which is grieving the Demo
cratic party at present is what they
shall do for remains after the
election is over. The Republican
victory will be so complete that
there wont be any Democratic
remains" SD.
After being rejected by the Dem
ocrats, Silver Republicans and Pop
ulists, Bartlett Sinclair thinks he is
bad enough to receive an endorse
ment from the Republicans, and
Hepburn seems to agree with him.
When Jefferson announced the
consent OF the governed doctrine,
the Colonial army was in the field
persuading the Loyalists to sub
scribe to that doctrine and the ar
gument employed was a bayonet.
There is said to be serious con
