ERROR ABOUT HEPBURN.
Senator Did Not Lose Appropria-
ton to Idaho.

Some time since the Idaho Daily
Statesman published rabid editori-
al denouncing congress and especial.
ly The United States senate for hav-
ing passed what is called the mileage
grab bill. Their attention was called
to the fact that no such bill had been
enacted and that the senate turned il
down cold; notwithstanding which
they go on cheerfully lying about 1t
as though it had actually happened
and show no evidence OF repentance
in their hearts. They have at all
times been supplied with. copy Of
the Congressional Record, but not
withstanding this fact they publish
any old rumor that reaches them
through any source whatever, and
the democratic papers suit them es-
pecially well. When they published
an item about Senator Hepburn hav-
ing lost $27, 900 to Idaho by talking
too much. which they profess to have
taken from New York democratic
paper, they had before them the
Congressional Record, which showed
that not only was Senator Heyburn's S
amendment not turned down but
that it was adopted by vote Of the
senate and further investigation
would show that it became and is to-
day part of the law of the land and
the appropriation is available to Ida
no for the purpose for which the
amendment was offered.
Z A reference to the Congressional
Record Of February 28, page 37oo,
will demonstrate the fact that there
was no foundation for the erroneous
statement. Idaho Press (Wallace).

K00TENAI COUNTY,
Court Decides the Division Ac
Unconstitutional. @@f

under the constitution to establish a
comfy seat at Coeur d. Alenc for the
same county in which the old county
t-Rathdrunl-was located. Now,
then, is it possible by saying they
abolish county and by the same act
reorganized the territory containing
the old county seat under a new
name, with county scat at another
town, they could accomplish the
ends forbidden by the constitution
and thereby circumvcnt its opera
ton?
1t seems to me, then, authority
granted by the constitution to create
new counties does not mean to reor-
ganize an old county under a new
name. 1t must mean a new county,
an additional county, and not reor-
ganization or naming OF an old coun-
ty.
Suppose some county should SO
far forget itself as to elect a set Of
officers distasteful to the powers that
dictate politics and fortunes, and the
legislature should suddenly conclude
that the county ought as matter Of
political expediency to be abolished
and new county organized from
the same territory and new officers
appointed, who would conform to
their ideas Of government, with the
county seat in a neighboring town.
Is it possible that such an act iswith-
in the purview of the constitution?

Monday afternoon, the supreme
court of Idaho handed down an oral
opinion deciding the law abolishing
kootenai county and creating the
counties OF Lewis and Clark, uncon-
stitutional.
The substance Of the decision is
that the legislature has no power to
abolish county existing when the
constitution was adopted; that it had
no right to abolish and create coun-
ties in the same act, and can not
move county seat by doing indir-
ectly what it is prohibited from doing
directly.
The question was decided upon
the case of Charles Mcdonald, sheriff
Of Clark county, VS.. Edwin Doust,
sheriff of Kootenai and qualified fol

a writ of mandamus and Doust enter
ing a demurrer thereto. The attor.
neys on the winning side were FIRE.

The decision is not unanimous. Il
was given by Justice A. F. Ailshie

Justice Ailshie in giving the deci
sion Of the court said, in part:
TO my mind, the controlling, ane
in fact, the only serious question ii
this case, is the power of the legisla
,ture to abolish and destroy county
existing at the time of the adoption
of the constitution. Ifthis question
is resolved in favor Of the exercise o
such power. then, in my judgment
the act under consideration mus
stand, If such power does not exis
then the act is unconstitutional ant
void.

but that the legislature had power t
