Two Sp666h6S

honored by two political speech
es by prominent men, viz: Con-
gressman Burton L. French and
Ex- United States Senator Henry
Heitfeld.
Congressman French address
ed the people upon the issues
from a republican standpoint.
He was greeted with fairly
good house, comprised of demo
Gratis as well as republicans, and
many ladies were in attendance
at both meetings last week. In
Challis the people are not polit-
ically hide-bound for they attend
all political meetings regardless
of their party affiliation, for they
want to be shown, if possible,
the right way.
Mr.. French is without doubt a
bright young man and a fluent
speaker, and delivered such an
address as could be expected by
a boy of his age, that is to say,
a spread-eagle, Fourth of July
speech, with little logic or sound
argument. The republicans this
year have so many issues that
they are endeavoring to dodge,
they have little to say upon the
live issues of the day. The
party is like their leader at the
White House, Mr.. Roosevelt, on
the trusts, packing water on
both shoulders-for the trusts
and against the trusts.
Mr.. French dwelt mainly upon
the hard times under the admin
istration of Cleveland. 1t is true
Cleveland was elected on dem
ocratic ticket, but his actions
were republican, so we do not
claim him democrat. Again,
Mr.. French gave much praise to
his party in the passage of the
irrigation law. This act was
introduced by Senator Newlands
of Nevada, a democrat, and the
bill was supported by western
democrats and republicans, and
was never spoke of as a party
measure only by Mr.. French.
| He spoke briefly on state is
sues, but did call our attention
to how much more money there
is on deposit in Idaho banks to-
day than there was ten years
Iago. That's dead easy. Ten
years ago there were $4,000 peo-
pie in Idaho; today there are
nearly 100000 people in Idaho.
Why shouldn't there be more
money on deposit
On the beet sugar bounty Mr..
French was as silent as desert
ed mining camp. He is evidently
ashamed of his party in that dis
graceful transaction, where JAP
labor is employed and the dear
people are TO be taxed TO pay
this unjust bounty.
How about that Two Mile limit
law {? Well, Burtie could not
mention that without implicat.
ing Frank Gooding, the sheer
king nominee for governor or
the republican ticket.
Last, but not least, was the
Mormon question. That was
also treated with silence. Mr.,
French or no other speaker dare
defend polygamy or church in
reference in matters politica
on the public rostrum, yet at the
same time that party has mo-
the courage to denounce it fol
fear of losing the Mormon vote
A party that has not the cour
! to speak out against an existing
crime which is against the laws
of God and man is not entitled tt
again be returned to power. Ii
Utah the republicans and demo
Gratis alike by the hundreds have
Joined hands, and formed new
party, and commenced a warfar'

POLICE COURT DOINGS.
Row Over Game of Cards Brought
 Men Before the Court.

Through lack of an interpreter city court business this morning came near being adjourned to Monday morning. There was one Italian in the room and he was i'll the dock and necessarily, therefore, an interested party he was not acceptable to Judge Peasley. Officer Dodds went out and brought in Peter Bauby after a while and then the case against the man ill the dock, Carmine DeVecchio charged with breach of the peace, in assaulting fellow countryman went on. This was row over cards. The men were playing for beer and the complainant won. Then they played to decide which of tbem should drink all of the beer and the complainant won again. Then came the trouble. DeVecchio was fined $2 and costs and put on probation for sixty days. He has been but six months in the coun- try.
 A complaint against a boy named Gottlieb Goldstein for coasting on North Elm street was settled for $5. Clark McMahon prosecuted.

Bridseport Han Before the House
 Committee on Labor.

Washington, Feb 6.--The eight-hour bill was the subject of discussion the past week in the house commlrtee on labor. Samuel Gompers, president or tha American Federation of Labor said briefly that he did not believe 1t necessary for the proponents to enter into an extended argument for the bill. Judge J. NJ. McOammon. repre- senting iron, steel and shipbuiidlng 1n- terests. said that under thls Dill lt would be impossible for contractor to construct government ships TOT commercial purposes under q ten-hour 1aw ana That the measure is un- American and vicious. Mfr Gompers criticised Judge McCammon for ms statement that the bill is not suostan- tially the same as those already re ported in previous congresses, and ms failure to say that the bill. II any thing. is n modification of former measures. He said Judge MeCam- mons charge that the bill is un-A Amer1- can or vicious industrially is wholly unfounded

AFTER THEM YET.
Three More Policemen Ordered 10
 Appear Before the Safety Board.

The effectiveness of the police force was given another jab by the board of public safety deciding, at an executive meeting held in the Leavenworth street engine house, to summon in Off, cers Phelan, Simon Mccarthy and Myers for examination as to their phy- sical and mental ability. The busi- ness of the meeting consisted of the passing of few votes, which were as follows:
 Voted, That Patrolmen simon Me- Carthy. Patrick Phelan and Peter N. Myers be notified to appear before this board on Wednesday evening, Feb1u- ary 10, at 8 o'clock, to be examined as to their physical. mental and educa- tional qualifications for the perform ance of police duty
 So far as the above concerns Off, cers Phelan and Mccarthy, it is con sidered very strange, as they were ex. amined before when the entire force underwent examination, and what they should be called in again for the same purpose Is causing great deal of comment and giving the public the impression that the board does not know where it is exactly at ill this matter.
 The second vote referred to omis- sions of duty by the rolice and the re porting of the same by the chief, and also complaints against officers. The vote as 1t was framed is as follows:
 Voted, That the chief of police is hereby directed to promptly report to this board each and every member of the police department i'll accordance with the last paragraph of section Az of an ordinance of this city relating to the police department"
 In the third and final vote there IS practically nothing new. Following is the vote:
 Voted, That the chief of police be and is hereby instructed to report to this board the number of cases brought to the city court each month for violation of the Hcenee law. to gether with the names of the officers making the complaints"
 The only new feature in this Is that the chief shall make note of the name of the officer making the complaint, and though no specific 'lieense law is mentioned, 1t is assumed that me liquor law is the one alluded to. The board will meet again next Tuesday.
 Officer Myers is the only policeman who has not been examined. and that cause was illness.
