THE DROUTH
II Will Pinch, but There Is no Wis
dom in Running.

Some scores of men have come
to Mountain Home and vicinity in
the past few months, with the in.
tention of making permanent To-
cations here. The greater part of
these people are from North Da-
kota, and all from the prairie
states. Most of them have already
located on lands. Some of them
have brought their families, and
others expected to do 80 in the
spring.
Now the failure of the, snow
crop--Idaho's most important crop
and the consequent prospect of
an insufficient water supply, has
filled the minds of some of them
with gloom and encouragement
and perplexity. The unfavorable
outlook for this season is not to be
denied. No good can come to any
legitimate interest from pretending
that we have now any reasonable
prospect of water enough to raise
full crop here this season.
But the discouraging conclu.
sions drawn from these phenom-
email conditions by some OF these
people, and the despairing view of
the status OF their enterprises. are
not justified by the real facts.
They arise chiefly from a lack of
understanding of the actual con.
ditions in Idaho, and a, failure TO
compare these conditions with
those prevailing in the countries
which they have left. They hap
pened to meet an extreme con-
dition at the time they changed
locations; and they are in danger
of being influenced by an extreme
view OF the difficulties before them,
forgetting those from which they
fed,
From recent observations of A..
Loveridge, Solon Mccoy, t. G..
Boardman, Marion Daniels and
others, which could be reinforced
by the recollections of w. J. Tur-
ner, Geo. P. Hall, A. w. Lockman,
A. M. Hall, G. w. Fletcher, w. A.
Reynolds, Commodore Jackson and
host of others, we are reminded
that there has never been, since the
settlement of the country, but one
season when there was such a
scarcity of water as there is likely
to be this year. That, we believe,
was 1889. With the improved
facilities for storage, it is extreme
ly unlikely that the new settlers
who hold steady through this year
will live to see another such
dearth.
Drouths are of frequent occur
renee, and sometimes very severe,
in the prairie states. One great
difference between a drouth here
and one there is this: There the
farmer has no forewarning of the
drouth until he has squandered his
stW and the labor of plowing and
cultivation, and his crops have
nearly reached the time OF ma
turity; and then a great share OF
that outlay goes for nought. Here
If q drouth does occur, it occurs in
the winter, and the farmer knows,
the same as in normal seasons, the
basis upon which he can make his
crop calculations.

MIR. JERoME's INTEMPERANcE.
IA Friendly Rebuke of His Reckless
 ss.- Speeches.

IA Friendly Rebuke of His Reckless
 Speeches.
 William Travers Jerome may be called upon to lead the contest against Tammany this fall as a citizen candi- date for the n1ayoralty. The possi- bility will bring closer scrutiny to bear upon his many admirable quali- ties as a bold leader and an energetic executive, it equally accentuates his gravest failing.
 Intemperance of language is re- prellensible at all times, but particu- larly so when it's tendency is to pre- judioe a good cause and discredit q splendid fight for the purification of politics.
 MT. Jerome at Chautauqua indulged in much exaggeration. He criticised Mir. Carnegie for giving $6,O0O,000 for llibararies, and said that the money should be, in the pockets of the work ingman.5 But that is not the question If the topic is pertinent at all the ques- tion is, Should MT. Carnegie be as- sailed for giving his money to- librar- ies merely because his critics belive that he should have made some other use of it? We should have preferred to have him spend his millions upon the Improvement of journalism; but may not MT. Carnegie have his own opinion and indulge in his own taste as to the money he gives away? It is better that he should devote it to any public use rather than to hoard it. Has a public library ever done harm in lany community? Is Is a good or bad thing to encourage the reading of good books?
 MT. Jerome is unquestionably right when he says that judges on the bench should not engage in private business. We strongly agree with him, but we disagree with the way in which he deals with this subject. He should not take refuge in generalities. One who is boldly denouncing public evils and whose language is at other times so free should not be delicate with one abuse. He should not use Language that may apply to all the | judges, and so do the harm of excit. ling supicion against courts and judges generally. It is a grave and great ir- justice toward all honest, upright judges who are not engaged in pri- Ivate business. He should name the men. t

another exaggeration. He says. Hill is vicious in politics, if you like. but a dishonest dollar never stuck to his fingers" The Hendricks report officially shows that Hill was one of ; the recipients of the moneys that the Equitable passed around to placata everybody who might possibly be ar rayed against it. Distributions Of that ] that sort are apt to be charged to ! legal services That has been since the Credit MObileier one Of the designations of what Mir. Jerome calls dirty money. In this case it appears to have struck to all fingers that , touched it. No legal service to the 1 Equaitable was ever publicly known 1 to be performed by MT. Hill. The sale of secret. services and the use of political influence are akin.
 Governor OdeI comes in not for the i first time for a liberal share of Jer- ome's incorporate language. The World" objects as much as anybody does to OdelPs methods as party boss, but his record in the Governors office, his achievements in things act- ually done for the public welfare, show I him to be the best Governor the State
 has had for twenty years. and we say this deliberately and carefully.
 As an irresponsible boss MT. 0dell is, part of the evil system which good ci-. tizens are called upon to revolt, As al responsible Governor he was the Gov
 ernor in fact as well Jas name. He took the cautious advances toward in direct State taxation which Hill had
 made but dared not follow up. and
 these he developed into a system up- der which direct taxation has been, practically abolished The revenue
 features of the Rains law are his, and i they are good. The Collateral Inheri-
 tance Tax law was by him made more productive. The savings bank tax is his. The Mortgage Tax law, erudely
 drawn but more equitable than any, thing which preceded it, was advocat- | ed by him for four years, though sign ed by his successor. The wholly ad-
 mirable Stock Transfer Tax law is I largely due to his initiative. To press
 such measures meant making power fuI enemies, but MT. odell never shirk- ed the issue. And the State owes
 much to his courage and resolution.
 Exaggeration and overstatement are MT. Jerome's faults. He should gov
 ern his tongue. He holds an office (which requires the possession of cool
 reason, the judicial temper and the
 use of sober language. He may hold
 an office more conspicuous, with a far
 land fair prospect over the fields of l State and national political prefer lment.

 for which he is fighting, and to weak

 At the close of this the monument was unveiled by Miss Marcia, the tWo- year-old daughter of Arthur B. and Mabel Howarth Thorpe, who enjoys the rare distinction of having had both grandfathers in the civil war.

FoRTUNE-BRING1NG DREAMS.
Numbers Seen in Sleep Considered tn

Numbers Seen in Sleep Considered the
 Buckiest of Onens.
 Has there ever been a lottery, we wonder, in which dreams of lucky numbers have not played a romantic part, as in the case, of M. Cousin, who won the second prize of eS,00O in the recent French lottery? ,.a g
 That, for instance, is a strange story that is told of Signor Fozzi merchant of Milan. Not long ago the signor dreamed of his daughter, who died several years since, and next morning with his dream still nournfully haunt ing his memory, something brought to his mind that it was one of the days on which the municipal lottery was, open. To the lottery he went, being man of sporting instincts and his dream suggested the, ventures His daughter having died at the age of A years 13 days and hours he selected these three numbers to bet upon, and two of the three proved highly lucky. One, on which he had laid Ss. 4d. brought him 250 times his stakes, or over 9100, and the other 4,250 times his stake of e1 12s Cd. or nearly e7,000.
 It was a dream that brought fortune too late for an Italian peasant called Luca. The peasant dreamed one night that he had been present at the draw | ing of the great State lottery and that the first prize of e8,O0O had fallen to ticket No 24O16. When he awoke he was so strongly impressed by his dream that he scraped together all the money he. possessed, and, after long 1 searching, was able to buy a ticket, | not of the number of his dream, but containing the same figures in differ ent order. Then he fell on evil days, his wife died of an illness brought on by hardship and starvation, and a few days later he, too, succumbed. Within
 a week of this double tragedy the tick ct he had purchased was awarded the great prize at the lottery drawing.
 A similar pathetic story is told of a poor blind woman, once a familiar | figure In Sackville street, Dublin, where for many years she earned scanty | livelihood by selling laces and other small articles. One night she dreamed !

Selectman D. Walter Patten in behalf of North Haven accepted the monu- ment in a. few well chosen words in which he said: "The memorial dedicat- ed to-day will always be an honor to this town, an emblem to be loved and cherished"
 The oration of the day followed, and was delivered by Chaplain William F. Hilton, c. A. R., of Hartford The speaker delivered a stirring and inter- esting address during which he satd:: Contrast the monument on the bat tlefield and the monument at home, the one marking the place where the strug- gle for supremacy was fought; the other where the principle for which the struggle was made had its birth. That upon the battlefield tells of the cour- age and heroism of the contestant and may be seen by few, while that at home daily speaks to the passerby and teaches it's lesson more clearly That upon the battlefield tells of rush and charge and exploits the daring and skill of military genius, while that at home calls to mind the ties of kindred and training of principles. The real battle is that at home where ideas and ideals find their exposition. Men went to the front to fight for what they had learn ed at home, and having fixed the bounds came back home to work out the principles they had learned in youth and which gave them their irl- spiration for the struggle.

 The noble art of wrestling, kept alive in the country by such meetings as the Grasmere Sports. has totally died away
 in London.
 Yet for some hundreds of years the London apprentices were passionately
 devoted to it, and on every St. Bartho-
 lomew's Day (Aug. 24) a great tourna-
 ment was held on Clerkenwell Fienlds, where Smithfield Market now stands, at which the champions from the city
 and all around the towns used to con tend. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs att. tended in state, and his lordship acted as judge and arbiter. Naturally, as local patriotism some times grew very excited, this was not always an enviable office. In 1456, for Instance, one Of his decisions gave of fense to the Prior of St. John of Jeru- salem, who called up a body of archers from the priory, close at hand. A fierce conflict ensued. The Lord Mayor cap was pierced by an arrow, and he was
 only rescued by the opportune arrival
 of strong body of citizens, who issued l from the gate with banners flying. From the London Chronicle. T
