l$I2, 900, year out of which they
had been cheated by the Demo
cratic administrations. Meantime,
the present administration continued
I to make investigations and discov-
cred that about $500, 900 had been
slowed away in divers sinking
| funds. This money ha d accumu-
lated from the sale of lands
belonging to various public instltu"
| tions, and was laid aside, construct
lively, to'meet some bond payments
coming due in IS or 90 years. Halt
a million in the sinking funds,
could be so utilized as to return the
State Treasurer IS or 80 thousand
year, and, of course, was nice
thing to have. However, the books
showed about $500, 900 tied up in
sinking funds, and the inference
naturally to be drawn was that that
was where it legally belonged. 1t
occurred to the present administra-
ton that it was damphool fnanceer-
ing to tie up all that money and
future accumulations and let it lie
around idle when it might just as
well be earning something for the
people of the State. So the Attor-
ney General set about looking up
the law. and after careful investiga-
ton, he became convinced that put
ting that money into sinking funds
was an illegal appropriation of it,
and that it should be turned loose
and loaned out at interest. Now,
it has taken little time to get at
these things, but the administration
is getting there all right. 1t should
also be understood that money has
been furnished to every legitimate
borrower who has made application,
and the $500, 900 will soon be avail
able unless some one starts alawsuit
to prevent it. There is the whole
thing in nut shell. The Lewiston
newspaper didn't understand the
situation, and naturally got off
wrong.
The Boise News does not bother
itself about matters of public finance
but is shocked at the immoralities
of the Republican administration.
1t is highly propitious to have Mr..
Flood come out as moral teacher.
The times and circumstances which
have contributed to his reformation
are potent to work miracles in every
direction. From among us all of
convivial tendencies, Mr.. Flood is
the hrst with courage to pose as the
horrible example and cry out
against his companions in dissipa-
ton. He should, however, endeav-
or to be merciful to those from
whom he was wont to borrow the
price OF a nerve settler before the
days of his own regeneration. But,
possibly, that would include the
entire catalogue of inebriates and
leave him without text. We are
much inclined to emulate Mr.. Flood,
and, while he is devoting himself
to the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, direct our efforts to a critical
examination of the moral graces of
Mayor Hawley, Judge Flenner and
other notable Democratic gentle
men, as disclosed by historical
events of their careers. By uniting
our efforts, we may, at once cleanse
both parties. Mr.. Flood has taken
upon himself a great and noble
work, bat let him beware that he
destroy it not by himself tumbling
from grace as did near contempo-
rary.

some cases o spontaneous combus.

the results OF storing partially green
