Congressman suizsr. Puts the Rspub-
IIesn Party on Record.
Continued from page ID

to the test ana ind out By your votes
on this amendment II you think less
OF our own Negro workingman than
you do Of q Negro laborer from the
West indisS-if you are willing to
pay the latter's expenses TO and from
the Canal Zone and refuse TO pay the
transportation expenses OF the Ameri-
can Negro to and from the Isthmus.
The vote on this amendment win tell
the story more sloquently than words.
and I am ready for the vote, and ]
shah hereafter point TO the record.
The Chairman: The question is on
agreeing to the amendment.
The question was taken: and on
division demanded by Mr.. Sulzerl
the Chair announced that there were
ayes rs, noes 50.
So the amendment was rejected.
The actions Of the Republican mem
bers OF Congress IN rejecting or de-
feating the amendment offered by
Congressman Sulzer, which would
have made It possible for Colored men
IN the United States to have gone to
Panama and worked on the Canal on
the same footing with the same class
of people from the West Indies is
further proof that the leaders Of the
party are not interested
in the welfare Of the Negro except to
use him for political purposes.
For the record of that party for the
last forty years has been filed with
hypocrisy and false pretenses. It will
be remembered that a Republican
Congress under the leadership OF
James G. Blaine, The Plumed Knight
Of Maine" defeated the Force Bill"
and later on another Republican Con-
gress defeated the blair Educational
Bill" which was the most practical
so far brought forward for
the benefit Of the great mass Of the
Colored people. !
In addition to the record Of the Re
publican party in this respect, 1t
robbed the Negro out of more than
S57 900, 900 through the failure Of the
Freedman's Savings Bank. and none
Of its orators have ever attempted to
explain that greatest Of all crimes
which was perpetrsted upon the Ne
gro.
The civil Rights Bill" was also de-
dared unconstitutional by the Repub-
ican members of the United States
supreme Court, thereby paving the
way for the Acknowledgement Of the
Negro, the Jim Crow" car laws, and
,very species Of injustice which has
0een inflicted upon him.
With this treacherous record in
Iealing with the Negro cnngins to
he memories Of the leaders Of the.
party, and while its high
PRIESTS at the present time are en-
aged in robbing life insurance COM
'anies, looting banks and fostering
gigantic trusts and monopolies, they |
.ntertain the idea that all Negroes
must close their eyes to their repre-
actions, and continue to vote !

CANYON CREEK WATER
RIGHTS IN LITIGATION
Injunction Issued Against Richard Bennett
Fred Bennett Pulled for Gut
ting Dam.

The old trouble over Canyon creek
water rights, between the Great
Western Beet Sugar company and
Richard Bennett, eliminated this
week in the institution of civil and
criminal proceedings.
Tuesday Judge Price granted an
injunction, on application of that
company, against Richard Ben
nett, or any one in his employ, re-
strainnig them from interfering in
any way with the company's ditch
es. The complaint alleges that MIR.
Bennett has of late been cutting one
OF its bitches and using the water,
that he will continue to do so un-
less restrained, and asks for 5000
damages. The injunction was re-
ceived here by mail yesterday,
while Mr.. Bennett was on one of
his ranches seven or eight miles
from town. E. M. Wolfe is attor-
ney Tor the company.
On complaint of Prosecuting At
torney Green, Judge Stimson issued
a warrant for the arrest of Fred
Bennett, son of Richard Bennett.
charging him with having cut the
dam of the Elmore Irrigation conn
pany, one of the old corporations
owning the Mountain Home rcscr-
voir, which is now controlled by
the G. w. B. S. Co., the water
rights being those of Canyon creek,
the same as those involved in the
above mentioned civil suit. Wyman
Wyman, of Boise, are attorneys
for defendant and will appear at the
trial, which has not yet been set
for hearing.
This civil suit and Injunction
will doubtless result in bringing
the case to trial on it's merits, de-
Gliding who has the prior right to
this water, as Richard Bennett
will, OF course, seek to have the
injunction dissolved. 1t was re-
ported some weeks since that he
himself intended to institute a suit
to determine title, and had his at
torneys look up the case. 1t is the
general impression that he is acti ng
on the advice of his attorneys and
has forced the company to start the
proceedings; though, of course, that
is merely a surmise.

Mountain Home, The Beautiful.

People who have lived here for
years and grown accustomed to their
beautiful surroundings, don't, can't
fully appreciate the favored spot in
which their lot are cast-in other
words, you don't know your luck.
But those who have lived in the
high attitudes, where the vegeta-
tion consists of pines and frs; or
these good citizens who are coming
here from North Dakota, where hot
houses are needed to grow shade
trees, they are enthusiastically ap-
preciative. Nothing could be more
attractive than the many homes in
and around town, scores of them,
embowered in sun proof mass of
green foliage, trees laden with
fruit; flowers every variety of
roses, queen of the floral world
blooming everywhere, ladening the
air with fragrance; climbing vines
and broad velvet lawns, all COM
binc to create a charming picture,
that can be excelled in loveliness no
where on earth. These scenes in
evitably arouse covetousness in the
hearts of those who are not yet in
on the proposition.

Race Meeting Here Occasion of Wide
Spread Interest and Many Horses
Entered

Judging by reports that come in
from every direction, 90 per cent
of the people in this county who own
a cayuse will enter for one or the
other of the races to be pulled off
here during the big celebration on
the fourth and fifth of July. In
town and on the prairies the horse
men are discussing the event, tell
ing each other whose horse can run
and which one couldn't make the
requisite speed in a scavenger cart.
The other day Billy Wilson was
handing out a few inside tips to
a group of friends, when some one
mentioned horse that Adm Hall
owns, a galloper that he thinks is
goer. Mr.. Wilson disposed of that
aspirant for swift fame with the
remark: ''Say, I've got an old
skate out at my place that can run
away from that horse any where
along the road, from one jump to
forty miles, and l don't think he
could pass man with a wheelbar-
row, either. " Mr.. Hall has not
yet been heard from on the subject.
The greatest interest is, appar-
emily, being taken in the five mile
relay race, in which the rider must
change horses at the end of each
mile. There will be from forty to
sixty horses entered for this race,
with perhaps a dozen riders. Many
contestants are now training for
this event. Among those who have
announced their intention to enter
. string are F. P. AXE, w. E. Will
son, A. M. Hall, a man from

Search for MCGinnis Estate Assets.

The heirs of the John McGinnis
estate, who are in litigation with
the widow over division of proper
ty, and who allege that Monte
Gwinn, the administrator has not
secured all of the assets of the es-
tate, are still searching for what
they think is being withheld from
them. Some days since Cashier
Cannon, of the Citizens State
bank, was cited to appear before
Judge Stimson to answer questions
regarding the deposits in that in
stitution. He testified that shortly
after the death of John McGinnis
check for $4,000, purporting to
have been signed by him, was pre-
sented through a Boise bank, pay
ment on which was refused. The
administrator now has possession
of moneys deposited there.

BILL" Smith, SHELF
MAN. IAlKS SHOP

w. R. (Bin) Smith, who has
sold sheep on comm ion at the
Chicago stock yards for twenty
years past, was in town Tuesday.
He makes a trip to Idaho OCCASION
ally, but has not been here before
for two years. He is swinging
around the circle, calling on his
friends and rounding up business;
spent a couple of days at Boise,
put in Tuesday here, went to
HALEY that afternoon and will stop
over at Pocatello. While in Nav
erick office he was trying to get r.
p. Chattin by phone, remarking.
II simply can't get away from here
without seeing Bob. have done
business with and for him for
years.
Mr.. Smith says that the Chicago
sheep market has never been in bet
ter condition since he has been in
the business. Prices are good, the
demand is active and he can see no
reason why this condition should
not last indefinitely. The recent
packing house exposures caused
considerable excitement at the time,
he says, but that is quieting down.
1t never affected fresh meats to any
extent, mutton apparently not at all,
but made canned goods, sausage and
cured meats a drug on the market.
He handled the first lot of sheep
Governor Gooding ever shipped to
Chicago, getting the top notch price
for the lot, and claims to have paid
to Idaho sheep men most seasons
the highest prices for which sheep
were sold.

order to do the subject justice. AS
a matter of news, it should be stat
ed here that Chief of Police Boyd
will contest the democratic nomi-
nation for sheriff with w. w.
Fountaine. Under the laws
of this state, the occupant of
this office is limited to one term,
so Sheriff Ross cannot succeed him
self. Deputy Joe Winters will,
therefore, seek the republican nom-
ination. The present incumbent
denys the rumor that he will change
places with his deputy, says that
he is satiated with public office
and honors, and will in future de-
vote his time to chasing the elusive,
fleet-footed dollar; several of them,
in fact.
