by tn session at length.
In his complaint Mr.. Maxwell cited
a series of cases told him by others
and from his own observation, in which
he claimed that Justice had not been
properly administered, charging the
court with dictatorial and naughty

for the last two years. announced that
his increasing engagements as an evan

ing to the society the steady work he
has given heretofore.
The board, after considering the mat

an agent to take up Mr.. Wiley's work
until such time as he may be more at
liberty. 1t is hoped that the Rev. Ar

GROVER CLEVELAND.

Grover Cleveland, ex-President of
the United States, is dead, at the age
of II years. The ex-president was a
strong, forceful, tactless man. It will
be so years before his definite place in
American history can be fixed. Preju-
dice even to this day, is so strong
that we cannot measure his true
worth. Had he been less blunt he
might have had more pleasant life,
and enjoyed a kinder reputation
among his countrymen. He was
abused, ridiculed and hated He was
accused of dishonesty and even
.treachery. It was claimed that he was
tool of Wall street. 1t was even in
timated that he was in coIlusion with
English financiers and toadied to Eng
fish royalty. When the Venezuelan
tro uble arose, the lattor charge was
proved absolutely untrue. We are
confident that all the others will
prove false.
If this be so, Grover Cleveland will
take on a new dignity, and receive
greater honor from the American
people as the years roll on. We are
confident that he was an honest, up
right man. We know he was a great
man, both in intellect and force of
character. He arose from obscurity.
District attorney, sheriff, mayor, gov
ernor and president were the steps in
his political life. It was typical Of
America, and Grover Cleveland was a
typical American. Let us cherish his
memory.

BORAH AND HEPBURN.

Senator Borah is coming up to ex-
pectations. What could be nobler in
man than his honest and sincere ex-
preston of appreciation of and con-
fdence in his one-time political oppo-
nent and rival and now his colleague
In the United States senate. Senator
Borah is In favor of the reelection of
Senator Hepburn and is in sympathy
with all means to that end. 1t augurs
good for the future of Idaho. With
two men like our two senators in the
senate. Idaho will command a respect
exceeded by no other state and
equalled by but very few, If any. Both
men now enjoy a national reputation,
and they have honestly earned it. Let
them continue to work together in an,
important matters as 1t affects Idaho.
They will have differences of opinion,
from time to time, but each is big
enough to allow the other the right
to his opinion.

HEYBURN,S RETURN.

Senator w. B. Hepburn will return
to Idaho in few days. and as he will
stop in these parts for a short time,
fitting reception should be rendered
him. We understand that he Is to de-
liver the Fourth OF July grafton at
Boise. This will give the capital city
an opportunity to show him the re-
spect his honest worth and great &C
complishment deserve. The people of
Idaho take great pride in their Sena-
tors. Boise is the home Of Senator
Borah and of course is ever ready to
do him honor A. Senator 4Heyburn's
home is in north Idaho, but the people
Of this section have an equal claim
upon him. We hope that the people
of Boise will rise to their opportunity
on this occasion. 1t is freely ac-
knowledged that Senator Hepburn has
accomplished more in his term than
any senator from a western state. The
work of others dwindles into insignifi-
canoe beside that of Idaho's senior
senator. He has cared for the welfare
of Idaho and of the country generally.
He has gained rapidly in the estima-
ton of the people of Idaho. When he
was elected we all thought he was q
proud, arrogant aristocrat. We con-
sidered him minion of plutocracy-
or at best q corporation lawyer. Bit
closer acquaintance with corporation
lawyers have changed the opinion of
them. Root, Knox and Lands were
corporation lawyers because they
were honest, upright, capable men. So
was Senator Hepburn. When he was
elected, some Of us, even thought he
owed his first allegiance to the state
of Washington. But all this has
changed. Senator Hepburn is now
acknowledged to be an honest and
capable man. He deserves an enthu-
siastic reception at Boise. Caldwell
will gladly join in showing apprecia-
ton of his work.

anything the matter with them, we
would like to see him. 1t cannot be
that the Caldwell people object to the
men. M
1t must then. follow that objections
are to the object or3methods of the
organization. The object of the Club
Is to promote harmony at home, build
up the city and surrounding country;
and to spread broadcast the good
name of Caldwell. That Is certainly a
worthy object. The method is to ad-
vertise in magazines and by pamphlets
and to provide pleasant and comfor-
table place for the citizens of Caldwell
and strangers to the city to meet. That
is the method Of every organization of
the country, The method has been
tried In thousand places, and has
always proved successful. What OBJ
lection can then be to the method?
We don't know. but would like to find
out. We would like to know what is
ailing some Of our citizens. We
would like to know what's the matter
with the Commercial Club. We have
examined 1t carefully and can't find
wrong. We know 1t is the
envy Of our neighboring towns. We
know 1t has done a great deal Of good
at small outlay Of money. What's
the matter, anyhow? will someone
