or regardless of their. personal treat
ment violated the established rules of
war by putting insurgents to death
when captured as prisoners, this gov
eminent is in a position to demand
reparation. But it Cd nnot voice rnar
demand peremptorily, suntil it has as
certained the circumstances beyond
question It's efforts to inform itself
on these points, through its own cnan-
nels of inquiry, have been up to this
time blocked by the lack of telegraph
facilities and possibly by improper
conduct on the part of the Nicaraguan
government in depriving the American
representative at Managua of facilities
for communicating with the state de-
partment
In these circumstances delay is IN
evitable, but delay does not prejudice
the case of either side as regards the
merits of the immediate question at Is
size. 1t does, however, operate to the
DISADVANTAGE of the Zelayan govern
ment in that it is strengthening the
hands of the insurgents now operating
against the officially recognized Near
aguan authorities. The other day the
commander of a British war vessel
paid a formal visit to the leader of the
insurgent army at the port now con-
trolled by the revolutionists. The
American government has recognized
the existence of an effective blockade
on the east coast of Nicaragua "a cir
cumstance OF distinct advantage to the
insurgent cause, though not quite the
equivalent of recognition of belig-
erency.

| ment.
Says Ministry Is Responsible.
They were told that the rejection
of the bill would cause financial chaos
.ut Lord Lansdowne's offer of assist
ance to avoid Inconvenience had not
been cordially received by the gov
eminent Therefore, he said, if chaos
came, the responsibility would rest
upon the ministry. The government
wanted a single chamber, independent
of any check, while the lords had
been fighting for one principle, name
ly, the separation of the judicial and
administrative functions.
The people, Lord Cawder concluded
could get rid of the decision of the
second chamber by an election, but
they could get rid Of an autocratic
single chamber only by revolution.
The Earl of Crewe, secretary OF
state for the colonies, and lord privy
seal, closed the debate in a speech
frequently interrupted by ministerial
cheers. Lord LansdOwne's amend
ment, he contended, was the negation
of all precedent and flouted all usage
All agreed that it was necessary this
year to raise a large amount of eX-
ira money by taxation, necessitated
by the claims of national defense and
the adoption of old age pensions. The
sum total of the long debate, he de-
clared, was that the opposition con
sidered the governments method of
raising money illusory and that that
justified revolution.
Turning to the charge that the in
PRODUCTION of the budget capital was
leaving the country and there had
been a serious fall in securities, the
Earl of Crewe said he admitted capt.
tai was timid and that some people
had been induced by what they had
heard to sell British securities and
invest abroad But that, he said, was
due to the speeches of the lords, who
wished to bring about what they pro-
fessed to deplore. Industrial concerns
of Great Britain had found difficulty
in securing and keeping all the money
necessary for their requirements.
The position of liberal ministers in
the house of lords, declared the
speaker, was becoming almost impossi-
BILE. In all the years he had been a
member he could not remember a sin
gle case where suggestions Of his had
the slightest effect. In conclusion, the
Earl of Crewe said:
I'VE must, after the action you
are taking tonight, set ourselves to
obtain guarantees-nOt the old guar
antees sanctioned by the course OF
time and enforced by accommoda-
ton between the two houses but, it
necessary, and if there is no other
way. guarantees fenced about by the
! force of statutes, which will prevent
| the indiscriminate destruction of our
| legislation, Of which your work to-
night is the climax and the crown"
The following abstained from vot-
| ing: The Duke of COnnaught, the
| Archbishop of Canterbury, Viscount
| ST. Aldwyne, Earl de IA War;, the Earl
of Lytton and the Marquis Dufferin
and several other peers and bishops.
The Archbishop of York and the
Bishops of Birmingham, Chester and
ST. Asaph voted against the resolu-
ton.

CONGRESS AND THE CANAL.

The latest congressional party 70
visit Panama is en- route home, and
members are quoted by cable as much
pleased with the canal conditions, and
convinced that the great enterprise
will be completed according to the
present promises of those in charge
of the work.
This, we may be sure, will start the
pessimists again. What do these men
know about the canal conditions?
What are their words but an echo of
something they have been told They
are neither engineers nor contractors,
and with months instead of weeks Of
time could not have mastered what
was set before them. They were hur-
ried from place to place, and obtained
only hasty chances at things.
Their hosts prepared for their COM
ing, and had everything smartened up
for the occasion. Everybody breathed
an atmosphere of jolly. How could
visiting statesman resist? He was
bound to believe and to approve. Open
doubt, or a too critical attitude, would
have been an offense against hospi-
tally Good cheer did it's usual work.
Toothsome food washed down with
palatable fluids, and conversation
spiced with patriotism, brought every
body to one mind, and that a happy
one.
The total cost of the canal will prob
ably be five times as large as the orig
inal estimate. The half billion mark
is really in sight. We may have to go
even beyond that We entered upon the
scheme in a cocka-whoop spirit, and
nothing was properly scrutinized. AS a
result we shall have to dig deep into
our pockets, and meet figures that will

citizens of this country, who were en-

privilege of communication with the
representatives of their government,

building. The proposed i'm.
provements will cost the county
a good deal and this in the end
will be worse than wasted. Nc
amount of money can ever make

is, an old barn of a building that
can only cause a grin of disgust

thing to be proud of and no doubt
they are. The county commits
sioners are in no way to blame

and are only carrying out the
will of a few miserly tight.wads
who take no pride in their own

citizens of the county are against
putting any more improvements
in the exact geographical center

YOUNG MAN, BUY LAND.
Pocatello Tribune

Pocatello Tribune
The value of land in southern and
southeastern Idaho is increasing at a
marvellous rate. Tracts which a few
years ago could be had for the asking
are today selling for from $40 to
800 per acre And the price is still
going up. There is no investment
which young man can make and
paw for on the installment plan that
will lay as firm a foundation for the
future as the purchase OF land in this
region. Planted to potatoes, he can
raise enough In two years to pay for
1t. One rancher near Bancroft held
his S0-acre farm for sale at $40 per
acre, with improvements. He could
find no purchaser. so he tried dry
farming. His first crop OF wheat net
ted him more than the sum he asked
for his farm. Planted to an orchard
the young farmers land in this fer
tile region will produce an income
In few years greater by several hun
dred dollars per acre than the oirgi-
nal price of the land The time is at
hand when the young man who owns
a few acres of agricultural land in
this part of the state. If he properly
cultivates it. will be absolutely indie
pendent To the ambitious young
man. to the young man who wants to
build for the future and become in
dependent, we say--invest your saw
ings in land and you can achieve
whatever you desire.
