AN UGLY SITUATION.

At the time OF the visit OF Emperor
William to London, II was freely given
out, ION excellent authority" that the
question OF the repartitlon OF eastern
Africa was the subject Of discussion
1t now looks as II an agreement had
been reached on that occasion, by Eng
land and Germany, to ascertain JUST
what can be done in South America
without coming In conflict with ue
Monroe doctrine. 1t looks as II Ameri-
co rather than Africa had been con-
sIdered
The situation in Venezuela begins to
look decidedly interesting. The two
allies have dytroyed some of Venezue-
las ships, without declaring war, and
President Castro has imprisoned Ger
man and British subjects. Mobs have
stormed the residences Of foreign rep
resentatiyes, and Castro appeals to the
people to take up arms, 1t certainly
has the appearance Of war, whether
declaration Of war has been made or
not. Il is a reassuring fact that in
this controversy there Is no excitement
in this country. There is no desire to
NEEDLE with affairs that belong entire
ly to the countries that are parties to
the dispute. This removes one element
of danger, because when the passions
are aroused reason IS likely to speak
unhcard and unheeded
At the same time, the Washington
authorities are watching With keen In

The Hartford Courant discus
subject in this way:
LADIES AND STREET CARS.

New York ladies have entered the
warpath In behalf OF the public that
patronizes the street cars OF that city.
II Is evident that some trouble exists;
some grievances there must be that call
for attention. But the great question
Is, as always, how TO proceed.
At meeting OF ladies interested in
the matter. held recently a number Of
propositions were made. Everybody had
ideas different from everybody else.
one lady favored a line OF cheap cabs.
Another thought "trallers" would be
the thing. Another spoke for a bus sys.
TEN. One fair speaker saw the only
remedy IN more cars, which another
promptly objected to on the ground
that lower Broadway and the narrow
cross.town streets are always blocked
now, and in the event Of more cars
traffic must stop entirely.
Then the debate OF the ladies took
another turn. One speaker expressed
the opinion that more ladies would get
seats n they would say thank YOU"
when "A gentleman offered one, Kisses
greeted this reflection on lady-mahners.
and another speaker continued Every
man Is Just as much entitled to a seat
es a woman. am sorry 10 see any gen
ueman stand He is tired from his day
at business. much more so than am.
ia rather he would have a seat any
time than !"
From this II win appear that the stu.
alton In New York Is very serious end

called for But what can De doue2 ono

NOT UNNECESSARY"

The new ordinance for the regula-
tion and restriction Of the liquor traffic,
does not suffer much from the criticism
which II has evoked from certain quar-
ters Its chief and distinctive features,
as pointed out In the Deseret News,
cannot be reasonably objected to. In
deed they are generally praised. and It
Is conceded that II they are only en-
forced to the extent that other laws
are executed. the problem that has con-
fronted the city win be solved as nearly
as possible,
The only real fault found with the
ordinance by would-be critics is, that II
contains some unnecessary legislation.
But those needless features are not
specified. II appears. however that the
alleged unnecessary parts are those
that were In force before the new or
dinanoe was prepared II that Is all
that Is meant, the objection is without
basis. In state legislation II is re-
CURED by the Constitution that amend
ments to any statute must not be made
without the re-enactment. In full. Of the
act as revised or the section as amend
ed, The rule should hold good in mu-
Idcipal legislation. Its repetition, there
fore, cannot be fairly regarded as "un-
necessary"
Apart from this constitutional rule
II is desirable that one ordinance shall
contain the entire regulation on the onS
subject. There are a number Of orlin.
ances. one patching another. on the
llquor traffic, and extending over a per.
Tod OF many years. II Is very desIra.
BILE that they should be abolished OF
merged into one measure. These FIRE,
quent amendments confuse the law, anc
the new ordinance does away with tn,
confusion by repeating oil the Old pro
visions. and Incorporating with the new
those that are desirable TO retain.
We think the promoters Of the meas
ure, with the City Attorney who fran
ed II, are entitled TO credit for the goot
work done, In making one ordlnanc
cover the whole ground OF the subject
and that their labors were by no mean
unnecessary" II the executive depart
ment win see that this legislation d
reasonably yet vigorously enforced. th
public will have no real reason TO com
nlain.

TOO POETIC FOR THE AGE.

II is evident that we live In very
prcsaic age. sadaklchi Hartman has
lately found this. The gentleman In
vented novel entertainment. He pro-
posed to take his audience around the
world by means Of perfumes. He called
his devise perfume orchestra" and he
succeeded In having the perfume con-
cert made feature OF a Sunday night
concert at New York theater. 1t
was a complete failure. The account
says: when he launched rose fra
GRANGE over the sort of crowd that at
tend such things, and followed 1t with
vioets-the people left, hootlng as they
went Mr.. Hartmann's poetic notion
was simply out Of place."
Ana that reminds us Of a musical
genius who some years ago conceived
the idea Of composing music to accom-
pany popular lectures on astronomy.
The music was to represent the har-
mony of the spheres But II was as
much Of a failure as was the perfume

prosaic. They fail to hear the "har-
mony Of the spheres" in the wild
shrieks Of q fiddle. and they refuse TO
be led round the earth by the nose.

HOPE FOR IRELAND.

Mr.. Walter Wellman, who has been
studying the irish question, is of the
opinion that II new era Is dawning up
on the Emerald isle. He Is corrobor-
ated in this view by the great Irishman,
T. T. O'Connor, whose views he sets
forth in letter to the Chicago Rec

ity "the promise of this hour Is that
the soil of Ireland is to be owned by the
Irish people and that by some sort OF
home rule an Irish governing body is
to have full charge Of purely Irish leg

He concludes;

HE CAPTURED
HORSE THIEF
Merry Action Of Hugh B. Fulton, Nom
inee on the Democratic Leg
islatiYe Ticket.
BROUGHT HIS NAN TO CRANGEYILLE
Arrest Was Made Without Going
Through Formality Of Requi-
siti0n Papers.

Hugh B. Fulton, one Of the nom-
inc on the democratic legislative
ticket for this county, arrived quite
unexpectedly on the stage Sunday
morning, having in tow horse
thief named Bob Childers. 1t ap
pears that Mr. Fulton was camped
at Burgdorf's hot springs, near
Warren, on Oct. 8, when Burgdorf's 8
horse was missing. After search
ing for As hours Ii. ascertained that
the animal had been stolen and he
set out in pursuit, and notwith-
standing that Childers had got a
4S-hours' start, Mr.. Fulton sue
ceeded in overtaking the fugitive
at Baker City, Ore, and arrested
him there on October r. The ar
rest was made without waiting for
the formality Of requisition papers
and Mr. Fulton started out for
Grangeville with his man without
assistance, having captured him by
sheer bluffing. At Colfax, on Sat
urday, they had wait of several
hours for the train to Moscow, and
as the fair was in progress the
horse thief in some way commnni-
Gated with his friends with the re
suit that later in the evening Mr..
Fulton found him in possession of
loaded six-shooter with which he
would undoubtedly have killed Mr..
Fulton on the first opportunity.
But Mr.. Fulton has had much ex-
perience in dealing with the Grim
inal element during the time he
was in the service of the peniten-
tiary, and Childers found himself
cup against the real thing" with
no chance Of getting away from it..
Mr.. Fulton has also secured a
written confession from his pris-
oner implicating a whole gang OF
associates win. are in the horse and
cattle rustling business, and who
have been camped at the Burgdorf
springs all summer. Sheriff Dixon
and deputy left early Monday
morning to capture the entire gang,
together with such stolen property
as may be found in their possession,
and of which Childers gave de-
scription.
The man Childers has bad rec
ord as a desperate, having killed a
man in Canyon City, Ore, and
done time therefor in the Oregon
penitentiary. The capture of this
notorious criminal by Mr.. Fulton,
acting single handed and alone. is
a big feather in the cap of our leg
islative nominee, and bears out the
record he brought with him into
this county-that he is a man OF
sheer grit and bulldog tenacity,
and this latest emprise will not
lower him in the public estimation.
He is a good man to tie to, and he
was never known to desert a friend.
The people Of Idaho county will
find no more loyal and faithful rep
resentative in the halls Of legisla.
tion than Mr.. Fulton.
