Freedman's aid and Sunday schools; Dr. ]. L. Nuel-
son, professor in the Mast Theological Seminary

St. James church, Chicago; Dr. Robert Mcintyre
pastor of First Church, Los Angeles, California; Dr.
Frank M. Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan church.
Washington, D. c.
The promotion of these worthy dvines was at
tended by of the kind of excitement that man
fests itself in political conventions though none of
the unpleasant methods of politicians were brought
into the contest
The conference settled upon men who have been
highly successfully in the promotion of the gospel
and who have exhibited marked capability in their
calling. The vgor of the church is exemplihed in
the selections and that most of them were taken
from the educational department of Methodsm as
sures the continued progress of the cause

Paris, Idaho, June l. To The Scimitar: Voters
who realize their responsibility for good government,
often have difficulty in deciding how to cast their
ballot. 1t is due to their interests it is due
to the interests of fellow citizens and it is due to
the claims of real merit that public offices only be
filled by those who Intellectually and morally
qualified to discharge the duties thereby required of
them. But how to decide between political parties
and sometimes between representatives of the same
party, is often complex question
While political conditions in Idaho are far from
ideal in respects at present. those very mperfec
tons are of such character to make the path of
the honest voter as plain as could we'll be desired
We may not be able inform ourselves satisactor-
lily regarding the character of each asprant for office
yet the policy of political party is sometimes itself
of such character that tells the whole story re-
garding those who endorse it.
If the principles of political party not entire
y in accord with the requirements of common hon
esty and truhfuness, those who sustain it by their
votes, will only have themselves to blame if those
whom they help to elect to office practice those dis
honest principles by taking possession of the si1ver
spoons" vauabes of the state.
Political facts written so large in Idaho at
present that he must be morally blind who cannot
read them If republican ofhce-seekers are unwil1-
ing to see anything wrong in regard to the pledges

letter to Senator Burrows, chairman of the COM

interest in the measure even though it had no effect
the conscience of the ma ority party in congress.
The bill under discussion did not reach Mr.. Bur
rows committee from the house until the 23rd of
May and the committee had no meeting after that
date. The bill therefore went over until the next
session of congress and this was accomplished, with
which had done all it could to render the measure
obnoxious to the democrats of the south

meetings Saturdays, during the hour preceding

may be charged the defiance of public sentiment that

corruption

A Heavy Judgment.

The Goldied Daily Tribune gives the following
account of the termination of lawsuit in their
county:
A decision involving approximately $1so,ooo, judg-
ing by the present market value of the stock, was
rendered yesterday by Judge OBrien of the district
court By the terms of the opinion Joseph H. Hutch
lnson, of Goldfied, and L. C. Van Ripper of New
York, are awarded about 10000 shares of stock in
the Consolidated Mines company the finding running
entirely against c. H. Botsford

has been tried in Esmera1da county in many years.
1t is undoubtedly the second biggest of its kind within
the history OF the county, the first being about thirty
hVe years ago, when Aurora was the county seat
Inc present suit grew out of the sale of the Com
Dlnaton mine to the Consolidated Mines company
now controlled by Senator G. S. Nixon and George
W1ngheld. 1t was claimed in court by Hutchinson
and Van Ripper that they were instrumental in bring
ing the parties to the sale together yet were deprived
OF their commission. Botsford admitted on the stand
that he had received 100000 shares of Consolidated
stock tor delivering the Combination mine Of this
tota BotSford received net 5000 shares and was

Unfair Statement.

The Yuma Examiner, in its report of
the action taken by Justices of the
Peace Redondo and Sargent ia the cleo
UiOn cases, makes bold Measurements
and is altogether unfair in its summary
of the eases.
Referring to w. A. Deal. the Exam
liner says that he WAS turned loose by
Il republican justice of the peace at
Somerton. when it is well known that
Justice Sargent is a socialist.
The Examiner of Tuesday admits
that it was mistaken in chasing Justice
Sargent of Somerton as Il republican,
pleading that the previous statement
was an terror" and that it should have
Tread socialist instead of republican. -
Possibly it really was simply an error,
but this is rather doubtful. But con-
ceding that it was, the Examiner offers
no apology or excuse for traducing
either Justice Sargent or Justice Re-
dondo.
The most contemplate inference to
be drawn from the Examiners screed
is that both jrstices were in s5me man
ner "uuduly influenced" in these elee-
tiOn Eases.
Judge Redondo has held the office of
Justice OF the Peace of Yuma precinct
for six years, and in all that tire there
has never been even the slightest init
nation of suspicion as to his honesty or
sincerity in the disposition of any case
of the hundreds that have come before
him.
AS TO Justice Sargent, he is 4 we'll
known citizen of the valley, highly re-
spected 10y his neighbors. and all who
know him regard the Examiners state
ment as libelous in the extreme. The
Examiner demonstrated its standing
in the late campaign by selling out to
the highest bidder. That is sufficient
to stamp its utterances as wholly unre-
liable. Justices Sargent and Redondo
are not for sale, but base their decis-
ions solely upon the law and the evil
dence IN any cases coming before them.
The fact is, the burden of proof in
these election cases was up 10 the pros
ecution. The district attorney had
these men arrested on charges of voting
illegally and it devolved upon him TO
prove that they were not legal voters
IN Yuma county. No such proof was

TIRED OF LIFE.
David Coffman, an Aged German
Suicides by Shooting Himself
Through the Head.

In an old shack near the corner OF
Fourth and CHA streets last Saturday
afternoon about o'clock David Coff-
man, an old German, ended his life by
shooting himself through the head.
The noise of the pistol shot startled
the residents OF the vicinity and an in

the dead body of the old man lying on

Justice Isedondo, having been noti-
fed, impaneled a jury which viewed the
remains and rendered verdict in ac-
cordnnce with the conclusive evidence,
which left no room for doubt as to the
manner of death.
Little is known here of Coffmann,
