DIRECT LEGISLATION

The rules of the majority is the
cardinal principle of the democratic
party, and it is to obtain this, tina t
the party has pledged itself in Idaho
to the initiative and referendum sys
tenn of legislation by which the PEG
pie can force vote upon any PROPOSE
ton and demand that any law be
submitted for their approval. This
would make truly democratic form
of government. In the last legisla
ture, every republican senator voted
against the submission of a consti
tutional amendment embodying this
principle, and although the measure
was supported by the combined demo-
cratic and populist strength, it could
not receive a two-thirds majority.
1t, therefore, behooves the people of
Idaho to elect democratic lesisla-
ture with two thirds majority in
each house.
OF this system of legislation, the
republican governor of South Dakota
speaks in praise as follows:
''Since the referendum law has been
part of our constitution, we have had
no charter mongers or railroads pecula-
tors, nor wildcat schemes submitted to
our legislature. Formerly our time
was occupied by speculative schemes of
one kind or another, but since the refer
endum has been part.of the constitution.
these peopl edo not press their schemes
on the legislature. and hence there is no
necessity for having recourse to the refer
endum.
And yet it is to this great reform,
the republican party of Idaho pre-
sents a solid opposition, upon
which the republicans state senators
would not even permit the people
to vote.
The way to help in Washington
County to lnaugerate this reform is
to vote for the democratic lepisla-
tive nominees, who are pledged to it
by their state platform, regardless
OF personal feelings or prejudices.

We call attention to the fact that the
tax levy for state purposes has been re-
duced under democratic administration.
The levy amounted to IS cents on the
SIOO for the year 1895, and the sixth and
last year Of republican administration in
TINS state, while in the present it amounts
to only AZ cents on the $780, Believing
the people of this state favor an honest,

the result of the election in Oregon,
where both members of congress are
returned by increased majorities. I'm.
perialism was the issue in the cam
paign. Wherever political meetings
were held the Philippine question was
discussed. The republicans took the
position that the United States must
stay in the Philippines and complete
the work it has undertaken. The dem
ocrats fought ON the same lines thai
the minority party in the senate usei
in opposing the Philippine bill. The
democrats in congress profess to bt
unmoved by the Oregon result.

THE BEET G GAME.
Committee Of Cancellation Have
Been Appointed.

8fN
Been Appointed.
Chicago, June 5.-The Chronicles
Washington correspondent avs that
the beet sugar senators scored their
first victory in the Cuban reciprocity
battle yesterday. They forced the
presidents friends to seek Cancellation
for the evident purpose OF agreeing
on some kind Of a bill which will pass
as a measure OF relief. The commit
tees on condiliation representing both
sides of the controversy, were appoint
ed.
The beet sugar committee is compos-
ed Of Senators Elkins of West Virgin
ia, Burrows Of Michigan and Jones
Of Nevada. The presidents friends
appointed a committee consisting Of
Senators Plat Of Connecticut, Spooner
Of Wisconsin and Cullom Of Illinois.
These committees were empowered
by their respective organizations to
exchange views and endeavor to reach
a basis of compromise which will per-
NIT the senate to pass a bill and get
away from Washington.
The beet sugar senators have en-
bodied their views of the legislation
required for Cuba in a bill which was
introduced yesterday by Senator Diet
rich of Nebraska. It provides for a
reduction ct % per cent from the Ding
ley tariff rates on Cuban products
and repeats the differential on refined
sugar. In introducing it at this time
the beet sugar men are simply serv.
ing notice Of procedure which they will
follow if they are forced into a cor
ner.
They have assurances that the dem
ocrats will support the DIETRICH bill
practically without exception and
those assurances mean that the meas
ure can pass the senate under certain
conditions. They are also holding in
reserve the French reciprocity treaty
the Argentine treaty and some ably
drawn amendments to the hide seized
ules Of the Dingley act. It is begin
ming to be apparent that if any legis
lation is enacted for the belief OF Gu
ba it will be rebate legislation.

Will Return to Work.

Chicago, June 5.-Ffve hundred
teamsters assembled at Corcoran hall,
near the s~tockyards, at noon and rati-
fed unanimously the agreement made
between their representatives and
packers at 4 o'clock this morning.
The document was signed by Al
bert Young, president OF the National
Transfers union, and by John Meyers,
president OF the local union.
1t was then taken by President Job,
of the state arbitration board, to- the
several packers for their signatures.
The utmost harmony prevailed, the
occasion assuming the character Of a
jollification over the settlement of the
strike.
The men decided to return to work
tomorrow morning.

GUN TESTS.
Interest in Forthcoming Trial Of
Monster Rifle.

tvtACuVot III AstSVIIISsuS M . u " !
Monster Rifle.
Washington, June 5.-Arrangements
have been made by General Crozier,
chief Of ordnance of the army, for the
testing Of the big 16-inch rifle recent
~ completed at the Watervilet IN.
W arsenal. This is the largest mod
ern rifle ever built by this government,
and the greatest interest attaches to
the forthcoming trial Of the gun. 1t
is realized by ordnance officers that
the construction of such a gun was
a mistake, but there was an impress
sion at the time it was authorized
that there would be an opportunity to
use this type Of gun for coast defense,
which could thereby be increased In
defensive power by the adoption OF
this larger rifle.
The difficulty in testing the rifle
when it was completed was the mount
for the gun. No carriage was built
for this purpose, but General Crozier
will make use of the Gathmann gun
mount. 1t will not require much work
to convert this carriage SO as to have
it serve as a mount for the 16-inch
rifle.
General Burlington, who preceded
General Crozier as chief of ordnance,
had made for his own satisfaction
before he went out of Office a model
carriage ct the disappearing type, with
the idea that it would serve as q gun
carriage for the 16.ince. It is possible
that the gun will ultimately be placed
at one Of the New York harbor forts,
but 1t is not likely to be more than a
curiosity in high power ordnance.

London, June 5-In accordance with

rapid promotion. He said it had been
given to few public servants to COM
pass SO much work for their country
in so short a time as Lord Kitchener,
who was commander-in-chief in South
Africa and was commander-in-chief
designate of India.
Mr.. Balfour concluded with formally

COOLING MACHINE.
Public Trial Of Prot. Willis Moore's
Gravity Apparatus.

Washington, June 5.-Professor Will
lis Moore's gravity apparatus for cool
ing dwellings, patents for which were
recently secured, was placed in opera
ton fer public demonstration today.
The machine looks like a cylinder
stove, and the inventor claims will
in time come to be considered as es-
sential to the comfort of a dwelling
in summer as heating apparatus is in
winter.
Professor Moore's invention, in addi-
ton to reducing temperature, washes,
cleans. and renders the air dry and
healthful. Hot air filled with dust
taken into the machine at q tempera-
ture Of nearly 100 degrees is expell-
ed almost instantly at q temperature
of 80 degrees, and with its relative
humidity lessened by nor than half.
The gravity machine makes use of
the difference in weight between air
at a high and at a Low temperature.
The gravity cooler is, however, auto
matte. It works solely on. the prin-
ciple OF gravity, requires no motive
power, and is self-adjusting. When
the weather is hot the machine works
faster than when it is only moderate
~ warm, and when the weather is
temperate the machine ceases its oper.
alton altogether.
1t is necessary to charge the ma
chine only once a day. preferably in
the morning, and it will then auto
matically keep the dwelling in which
it is placed at a cool, even tempera,
ture.
ProfessorM Moore says that when the
foreign patents are granted he viii
make public the formula Of the com
position with which the machine is
charged. He said, however, that the
composition contained no ammonia
or any of the usual ingredients Of or
binary freezing mixtures.

BORN CRIMINALS.

The famous professor Lombroso, of
Italy, says that nearly all children
are born criminals. What he means
is that they are wanting i'll the
moral sense and that small children
are much more inclined to do wrong
than to do right. Such inclination
is shown in the tendency to act as
savages-to be cruel and selfish, to
get into rage and scream or fight
when thwarted or disappointed. Sucl
child often gets punished by violent
scolding or whipping. This is
wrong. The child is only following
its natural impulse. What it needs
is not punishment, but training
calm, patient teaching fimness
but kindness.
