and his lady. Yet, surrounded by
all this splendor, fairly reveling in
luxury which ordinarily provokes
the most bitter envy and hatred of
mankind towards its possessor, the
Colonel is loved and admired with
fervid enthusiasm. Why? Ask.
the Nampa citizen and he will tell
you: "The Colonel made the town,
he builded the railroad; he i'm
proved and beautified Lake Ethel;
he is the soul and center of every
public enterprise, and-and, glory
to his name, it was his money, his
brain, his energy and his enterprise
that reared that noble, that beautl-
full, that sumptuous edifice, the
Dewey Palace hotel. 1t is that
above all else that attaches the Deo-
pie of Nampa to Col. Dewey" In
the light of these facts it seems to
US that the Dewey-Palace is rather
monument to consumate wisdom
directed by enlightened selhshness
than an exhibition of 'senile folly.
The money invested has yielded
magnificent returns i'll bodily COM
forts, qualification of pride, public
reputation, community esteem and
affection. Was money ever invest
ed to better purpose except in the
service of our Lord? The Dewey
Palace-the old mans folly, if you
please-has shed a luster on the
name of its builder which will
shine for generations to come, aud
impart a vitality to the fame of Col.
and Mrs. Dewey which shall cause
meuory of them to endure long
after all recollection of most OF Ida
hos famous men and women OF
this generation has been blotted
out forever.

ADMIRABLE CHEEK.

Some newspapers, like some men,
are blessed with such prodigious
cheek that we involuntari1y regard
them with feelings akin to those
experienced in contemplation of
the desperate deeds of highway rob-
bers. There is something about
desperation, whether exhibited in
acts of violence, in effrontery, or
downright lying, that inspires de-
gree of admiration. The bold
stroke, exerted in the worst possible
cause, diverts attention from its
author, confuses the mind, dazzles
the sight, and permits long record
of villainy to paas quietly into for
getfulness. At least, this would
seem to be a theory cherished by
the Capital Evening News, a Boise
newspaper which is pre-eminent in
the field of shameless audacity.
According to the testimony of its
friends and relations, it was con-
ceived in the womb of public plum
der; with its first futtering breath
of life it attached itself to a public
teat, and drew therefrom the nour.
ishment which for months was its
sole means of subsistence. The
diet was so agreeable to it, that il
grew in greed and capacity with
tremendous rapidity, until there
was not tap connected with the
public treasury which was not lait
under tribute to its appetite. In {
few years, according to its own ties
timony, it came to marvellous pro
portions and its ribs were swathec
in layers of fat, Tut on by the gen
erous hand of public patronage

WHAT. FOR?
aSSailant,

With the advance of civilization,
the pleasures of life have receded
until we are entered upon a period
that promises nothing but misery
and. toll from the cradle to the
grave. Philosophers have said that
nothing chastens like suffering and
that there is no true enjoyment in
life except in work, but the vanity
of philosophers has led them into
many sayings which, though they
pass current for wisdom, have very
little merit at bottom. With lash
and tongue, children from the age
Of six to sixteen are daily driven
to all but intolerable torture, and
we call it preparing them for the
battle of life, the preparation being,
as matter OF fact, ten times more
deadly than the real struggle.
Those that survive, emerge from
the preliminary treatment weak of
lung and dull of eye, with stunted
figures, impaired digestions, more
or less valueless stock of confused
information, and sublime faith in
the potency of elaborated engraved
diplomas. This is the ordeal of the
first period, and ten years of the
bloom and joy of life are consumed
in passing through it. Then comes
four to six years of special and
strenuous work devoted to untangl-
ing, arranging and setting in order
the accumulated learning of the
preceding ten years, when the half
worn out youth selects a career
and proceeds to prepare for it.
Three or four years of unremitting
toll is required to complete the pro-
cess, and another barque is launched
on the stormy pillows. After four
or five years of foundering about
years full Of anxiety and un'
speakable wretchedness-the weary
mariner drifts into a dingy little
haven in some 2x4 town and plunges
into the pursuit of wealth and fame
Yet a few years of feverish hope:
and sickening disappointments, anc

of summertime are lost, and life

and fever. Then comes the winte
time with its dreariness and loneli
ness, and melancholy regrets. Tn

down from the north, and the coll

JUST A LIE.

The TRIBUNE is loath to believe
that any man occupying the respon-
sible position of editor Of a daily
newspaper will deliberately and
maliciously lie, therefore, in charity,
we must conclude that the gentle
man who conducts the editorial
department of the Boise Capital
Evening News has been sadly misin-
formed. Commenting on the print
ing of the Governors message. the
aforesaid gentleman says: GAS a
matter of fact, the committee on
printing was in no wise connected
with the transaction referred to,
except to protest to the Governor
because he had ignored them by
usurping their duties and preroga-
tives." That is as perfect speci-
men of incxcusable lying as was
ever exhibited. The writer of this
met with the printing committee.
He was asked to state the. price for
which he would supply 1000 cop
les of the message. He stated the
price and received the order at the
hands of the committee. Thee chair
man of the committee, Hon. D. f.
Brown, was present and together
with Speaker Hunt subsequently
approved the claim and, with their
endorsement, it went before the
State Board. These are the plain,
simple facts, and could, if necessary
be established by affidavit.
Being human, we are enabled to
appreciate, in measure, the emo.
tons which torment the meditations
of the naturally amiab1e, but TEN,
porarily soured, gentleman who
edits the Capital Evening News
He had become so accustomed to e

Young woman that unless she was
bapti zed before her babe was born she
and the babe would die.
Mrs. sperry, days before she was
immersed, begged and beseeched OF
Rev. Jones TO postpone the service
until after her babe was born, but he
was obdurate and insisted, and the
mother. law, Mrs. sperry, ST., was
on the minister's side. and she liter

The little band was composed of the
minister. Mrs. sperry, sr.. Mrs. sper-

faith, which is within two Of the en-
tire number of converts in Hartford.
Mrs. sperry was immersed and kept
in the water. according to the state
ment Of eye-witnesses, for fully fifteen
minutes, and when she was taken out
she was unconscious. Then the ones
who were to blame for this foolishness
became frightened and picked up the
almost lifeless form and carried 1t in
their arms to Mrs. sperry's home.
The young woman was lsid on her
bed and before night her babe was
born. II was dead.

Hundreds Of W.. Have


London, Feb. 25-Tramping battal-
ions of the unemployed have takon the
place Of the movements OF the mighty
army in South Africa fighting the
battle of the empire. The commons
settled down, after ceremonial and
psgesutry, to a two days debate Of
questions OF paramount importance
connected with the poverty and ply
steal degeneracy OF the swarming
masses of darkest London. John
Burns, Jesse Collengs, Sir John Gorst
and Keir Hsrdie proposed remedies
for social leprosy which the nard-
working Wears and missionaries Of the
east end have been struggling to over.
come by organized religious and char
liable effort. The ministers took an
easy going view Of the existing evils
and declined TO commit themselves to
drastic measures for promoting emf.
grafton from overcrowded towns 20
the country, or for providing public
work on large scale or rehousing the
poor.
There are half million unemployed
In London in the worst seasons, and
another million may be irregularly
occupied with wretchedly paid work,
and the process of deterioration in
working capacity is constantly going
ON among the ill-housed and half
starved masses in the imperial capital.
It lie a question which appeals to
practical workers among the poor in
London. The march of ragged battal.
ions through the streets week after
week has forced 1t upon the attention
of parliament, where the government
majority has fallen to 80 and 40 on
two amendments to the address.
