Counsel or the United States Steel Cor
poration claim that the suit which has
been brought against that concern to pre-
vent it from carrying out its plans to
retire $500, 100000 of preferred stock and to
issue s25o, 600 of bonds. is a blackmai-
ing scheme. similar to the suit that was
brought against the Northern Securities
Company. If go. no pains should be
spared by the court TO expose 1t and to
expose those who instigated it. When
SUITS of this character are brought in
good faith by stockholders who feel that
they have been aggrieved, or that their
interests are in danger, it is all right,
and the officers of corporations have no
business to get in a rage and talk about
baking great enterprise and the like.
But when suits are brought for black
mail the compliments should be dealt
with as blackmailers, and treated with
nc greater consideration.

The Blackstone Courier says:

..Mr. E. c. Glass, the able superin-
tendent of schools of Lynchburg, says
the public schools of Virginia are the best
of any Southern State. This is some
consolation, still it should not make us
satisfied. We all know they are not as
good as thew should be, and therefore
should work hard to make them better.
The Farmville Herald throws out
hint as follows:

that Virginia is paying over S3l3,Go9 every
year for negro education in excess of
amount of taxes collected from them.

Here is another insolent attempt from
New England to discipline the South.
The meaning of the Transcript is that if
the South does not behave the govern
ment should make her behave. It is but
the outbreak of the abolition spirit in
another form. The question of child labor
in the South Will be settled, and settled
right, but the less meddling there be from

Idaho matters in Washington
are being carefully looked after
by our Senators and Represen-
tative. Congressman Glenn, who
has just returned from the State,
reports a very healthy demo-
cratic sentiment. From advices
from various parts of the State it
is quite clear that what ever diff
ferences there are among the
democrats nothing will prevent
the massing of the entire reform
forces this fall under the demo-
cratic banner as against aggres-
sions of the republican machine.
Besides this the republicans
are having all kinds of trouble of
their own. The old time ele-
ment under the leadership of
Shoup, Perrault and others, who
have been holding the offices for
a number of years and who have
no idea of resigning, are making
the other fellows extremely tired.
1t may be counted on as certain
that Shoup is in the senatorial
race and does not mean to give
the young fellows any show if
he can help it. Up north the
people generally are disguised
with the lot of Federal appoint
ments that have foisted upon
them by the Shoup regime.
Standrod is merely a figure head
so far as the Federal appoint
ments are concerned; Shoup is
the real power behind the throne.
Not withstanding the fight made
against Surveyor General Per-
rault it is altogether likely that
he will be reappointed and that
very soon.

SMUGGLING CHINESE.
Part of the Game Is 10 Have Tmmf-
grants Arrested Upon Their
Arrival.

Customs officers and secret service
agents of the United States have
learned that the Chinese who are be-
ing struggled across the Niagara
river from Canada are being brought
into the country by an organized
gang. The smugglers are said to
have headquarters in several large
cities of this country and Canada, in
Guiding Montreal, Toronto, New York,
Chicago, San Francisco and Boston,
reports the New York Times.
The Chinese that are brought
across the line in that section make
no effort to evade arrest; in fact.
1t is part of their programme to be
arrested. If they get in without run
ming into the arms of the officers
they do not feel safe. They prefer to
have themselves 'jugged" as early as
possible, as they are able to produce
evidence that they have a legal right
to stay here. When placed on trial
they declare they were born in San
Francisco, and they were taken back
to China when they were babes. Then
it is up to the government to prove
that their stories are untrue. Smug-
glers at Boston, Chicago, San Fran
cisco and New York find employment
for the newcomers, and also find wit
nesses, when necessary, to prove that
the clients are in the United States
legally and not contrary to law. The
fee charged is $500.

measure is the bill to allow Pub

The Irrigation bill, which is OF
more interest to Idaho than any
other bill likely to come before
Congress for long time, slipped
through the Senate without a
Dissenting vote. The House ir.

amendments which will not mat
erially injure the measure, and
agreed to report it favorably by
a vote of z to 2. The admins
tration is favorable to the meas
ure and it will undoubtedly pass
this session. Senators Dubois
and Heitfeld gave careful atten-
ton to the details of this bill, and
it is owing largely to their in
fuence and good work that the
western fellows were organized
in its favor. While Senator War
rem of Wyoming was the chair
