When any Spanish sovereign dies, the
body is at once submitted to the proc
ess of fossiization, nor can it be placed
in the royal pantheon until the body
has been absolutely turned into stone.
Curiously enough, the period required
for fossilization varies considerably.
Some royal bodies have become solidi-
fed in a very short period, while others
have taken years before the fossiliza-
ton took place. 1t took exactly thir'
teen years to convert the body of the
father of Alfonso XIII. of Spain into
stone.

Our Country's Need of Home
Missions.
BY ROBERT +. SPEER.

1t is not necessary, and it is injurious
to make comparisons between home and
foreign missions We are not so reduced
that we must make choice and sacrifice
one t o extend the other. The Church is
abundantly able to do both. 1t is a case
of which our Master will say when we
meet Him, This ought We to have done,
and not to have left the other undone."
Moreover, only by doing both can we do
either. To abandon foreign missions is
to invite the curse of God upon selfish
ness, and to stihe the spirit upon which
the success OF home mission dept nds. To
neglect home missions is to stop the
spring from which the missionary work
flows out through the length and breadth
Of the world. We can do both and we
must do both, each for its own sake, and
each for the sake of the other.
And how appalling is the need at home!
Consider one great city like the city of
Chicago alone.

Riding Away With the Bride.

In many of the border counties of
England the quaint old bridal customs
Of hundreds of years ago are still in
vogue. The parents carefully abstain
from appearing at the marriage cere-
mony, clinging to the idea that the
bridegroom still rides away on foam
ing steed with his bride behind him as
in the good old days. The brides pre-
fer the custom to the modern method
of being given away at the altar in the
orthodox fashion.

SCANDAL EXPLODED.

Norman Jackson's letter which
appears in this TRIBUNE should be
carefully read by all who desire to
be truthfully informed respecting
the States land selections on Jo-
seph's Plains. It thoroughly ex-
plodes the charges of corruption
and collision which have been
made against Mr.. Jackson, and
shows that the State administration
did nothing by way of wronging
settlers, nor was anything done ex-
cept what was necessary to safe
guard the peoples interests. The
part played by the man Harbaugh
is completely and satisfactorily ex-
planned. His relation to the State
Land Board was simply that Of
teamster and guide to the chief clerk
of the board. The friendly let
tiers" were merely formal notes
couched in courteous language, and
the sum of his official functions was
to point out the road and steer the
team. 1t seems that even the fees
which Harbaugh was said to have
extorted by false representations
were never paid to him and probab-
ly never will be. So the Joseph S
Plains scandal vanishes into thin
air and the State Administration
stands fully exonerated, being found
guilty of nothing more reprehensible
than the accidental employment, by
the chief clerk of the Land Board,
of rogue for teamster. On the
other hand, the facts disclose a com
mendable effort on the part of the
administration to save to the people
a most valuable inheritance. 1t &C
tually begins to look as if the Dem
ocrats will have to fall back OF
Rees Davis as the sole issue of thu
next campaign.

A BUNCH OF ANARCHISTS.

Meditation on Socialism naturally
awakens reflections on its antithesis
Anarchy, and in pursuing the
subject of 1awlessness one soon be-
comes astounded at the amount of
it which actually exists among a
professedly law-abiding and law
loving people. Should it be charged
that among one million American
citizens, taken from the average,
not one 1aw-loving man may be
found, the charge would be ac-
counted an outrage. The common
thought and expression of the aver
age American citizen is, II love my
country, and revere its laws. Is
that true? If a man revere the
law he will respect it voluntar-
lily and cheerfully, and be overcome
with remorse if by any chance of
ignorance or accident he should
happen to ignore or violateit. How
many men are so affected? How
many are stricken in conscience be-
cause of the violated law? Remove
the penalties and you shall soon see.
But, say our good citizens, it is not
the fear of hanging that prevents
us flom doing murder, nor the fear
of imprisonment that keeps us from
highway robbery. That may be
true as to those particular crimes,
but let us consider some other
phases of the subject. How many
good citizens are there, who. loving
gambling, forswear it because of
the law against it2 A good. many
do perhaps because of the penalty,
but how many would, if the penalty
were removed Let us look about
a bit. How many men would re-
spect a law against stealing water
during the irrigation season if there
were no penalty for doing it7 The
law says that every man shall rem
der to the county assessor true
statement of all his taxable prop
erty and shall pay taxes thereon at
its actual cash value. How many
men in Idaho revere that lawl But
one would expect that, at least, the
officers of the 1aw--the embodiment
of the laW-wou1d hold the law

SUCCESS.

According to present day teach
ING. which are necessarily ding"
donged into the ears OF old ana
young, male and female, the prime
business OF life is to achieve success
and success means the requirement
of a stock of worldly goods largely
in excess of the reasonable needs OF
life. In other words, success means
dollars, nothing but dollars, and
the more dollars, the more success
In reading those old tales OF days
gone by, we are tempted to believe
that there was "a time in which
money was not the sole measure OF
success: when real success consisted
in the development of virtuous
quality of soul, but those are tradl-
tons and may be as unreal as the
gods of Grecian mythology. How
ever, in this day and generation,
the Alpha and Omega of success is
the requirement and possession OF
money. Yet, and this is the strange
ness of it, the thing which during
a mans life is the emblem Of his
SUCCESS becomes his badge of dis
honor after death. For, is it not
easier for a camel to 60 through the
eye of needle than for a rich man
to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
Nevertheless, the burden of present
day gospel is, get rich. But this is
not all. Look about you, and you
will soon perceive that the success
full man is, during life, an object of
the hatred and envy of all his fell
low creatures. He has not friend
who warms to him in genuine affec.
ton, and when death comes scarce
an honest tear is dropped upon his
bier. His own offspring, if SO I'm.
fortunate as to have any, live In
daily hope of his taking off, and
rejoice in their hearts when he is
safely embalmed and entombed
Success? What a mockery! a
taskmaster that drives it's devotee.
to premature graves, that murders
the sweetest of human sympathies
and invokes the eternal curse 0
Almighty God.

TIVE SPLENDID PROSPECT.

At the meeting of the Directors
Of the Pioneer Irrigation District
on the 28th, the board succeeded in
placing 100000 Of the $42,5oo of
bonds offered. Howard Sebree,
president of the First National
Bank, Caldwell, guaranteed the sale
of $4,000 of the bonds, at par,
making the funds available at once,
and w. P. Garter, director of the
Citizens State Bank of Nampa,
guaranteed the sale of $1,000. on
the same terms. This practically
settles the matter of completing the
enlargement of the Phyllis to Nam
pa and the construction of the
Caldwell High Line to Indian creek,
and guarantees ample capacity for
next year. Indeed, with this work
done, it is probable that the canals
will be large enough for any de-
mands that may be made for ten
years to come. Thus, it may now
be said, the people of the Pioneer
Irrigation District have finally
surmounted and overcome all the
great difficulties which confronted
them, and the prospect OF years Of
prosperity stretches out before
them. 1t has required courage and
patience to endure the trials of the
past two years, but the reward is al
hand. and the coming years will be
full of rejoicings. The main works
being completed. attention can be
given to perfecttng the details O.
the plans of the District. The sys
TEN of laterals contemplated will bt
constructed; proper headgates anc
measuring devices put in, and every
thing done to make the District :
complete success. This all mean!
a period of wonderful growth anc
development. 1t is good to feel tina
the people of the Pioneer Irrigation
District stand upon the threshold
of unparalleled prosperity.

sacred. How many Of them do il?
At the last session Of The legislature
a law was enacted requiring that
all county printing must be done
within the county which has to pay
for it, providing no moreis charged
the county than is charged private
individuals for the same class of
work. A county officer who disre.
CARDS that law in letter or spirit is
just as much a law breaker as the.
man who violates the law against
burglary or highway robbery, and
he is no more excusable on the
ground that the law is unwise or
unjust than would be the burglar
robber. There is law which pro-
hibits county treasurers and the
State treasurer from receiving d.
rectly or indirectly any benefit from
the use or placement of public funds,
yet, in one way or another, nearly
every treasurer does receive bene-
fit. We have instanced a few laws
which are fagrantly disregarded
Notwithstanding that by disregard
ing them people and officers are in
constant risk of detection and pun
ishment. Now, if laws, for the vio-
lation of which a penalty is pro-
vided, are so lightly regarded, what
law, may we ask, would be respect,
ed if there were no penalties for
violation? From what has been
shown we may fairly assume that
practically all men are at heart, and
in fact, law breakers, or natural an
archists. They revere only such
laws as meet their private approval
and promote their peculiar interests,
and violate all others when it suits
their purpose to do so, and the
chances of escaping punishment are
| fair to middling.
