That cooperation is all right if it

THE RAILROAD IS COMING.

President z. A. Johnson of tn
Nezperce & Idaho railroad raisec
$500 in lilo last Monday in the way
! of stock subscriptions, to be app lei
on the construction of the road from
Tammany to Vollmer. This stool
was subscribed as follows:
D. H. Lowry, S shares $500
w. T. Simmons, S shares 50(
Star Hdw. & Implement Co.,
5 shares SOC
George E. Tatko, S shares soc
R. N. Broker, shares SOC
R. A. Damrose, S shares soc
c. S. Watson, S shares SOC
This represents the start on this
work at lilo of securing the funds
necessary to guarantee the completion
of the road and Mr.. Johnson states
that if the same hearty response is
maintained there and throughout the
balance of the territory tributary to
the line, he will construct more road
during the next twelve months than
in any previous year. He is highly
gratihed at this ready response on
the part of the people of the lilo COM
munity and the citizens of Nezperce,
many of whom have given liberal
financial assistance to the road, join
him in extending to them hearty
hand-shake of congratulations for the
spirit of good will and appreciation
they thus manifest toward the enter
prise.
Mr.. Johnson has demonstrated in
his successful construction and oper-
alton of the line from Nezperce to
Vollmer and from Lewiston to Tam
many that he is the man on whom
the people can safely depend to sup
ply the long-needed transportation
connection between this vastly rich |
plateau and tributary valley country
and the outside markets. His great
est task will be completed when he
draws his lines of steel from Tam
many up the Waha hill and connects
them with the awaiting ends at Voll-
mer, and he will thereby give equal
opportunity of developing virgin
forests and fields and mines of con-
structive material that are not sur
passed in the knowledge of men.
This he will accomplish by the
the continued corporation and as
sistance of the sturdy manhood Of
the country which he loves and in
ahich he has spent his best years,
and of which type he is fair ex-
ample.

LET EACH MAN DO MS BESr
THE SANE MIDDLE GROUND

~ ETWEEN the peace-at-
p any-price advocates such
as those who have been
signing pledges against enlist
ment and radicals on the other
side such as Col. Roosevelt who
wants a monster navy and COM
pulsory military service for all
men there is a sane middle
ground. Those occupying this
middle ground do not want
America to become a warmad
nation and do not subscribe to
the view that great preparati-
Ons for war serve to preserve
peace. 1t is known such great
preparations invariably lead to
war sooner or later, as has been
the case in Europe. But on the
other hand the sane course is
to maintain a first class up to
date navy and keep abreast of
the latest methods of warfare
both on sea and land. If we
don't maintain a large army,
which this country never will
do, at least we may have suffi-
cient equipment on hand to out
fit such an army at short notice
in the event of need. In other
words we do not need to keep
at all times of the day and
night in such condition we may
whip the earth yet it is we'll to
know enough about the game
that we may defend ourselves
in good fashion if trouble |
should come.

MUNICIPAL ELECTRICITY

IN JeCl ol nlunlclpaI eIec-
trio plants is coming to
be a live issue in the United
States. 1t is a general senh-
ment that municipal ownership
Of such utilities means lower
rates and the experience of mu-
nicipal ownership cities points
to this end,
Bearing on this subject the
following from the Christian
Ccience Monitor is timely:
A number of American cities
are swapping notes, a number
of them are drawing upon each
other for information regard
ing the comparative cost of el-
ectric light under private and
public operation. The great
dam at Keokuk was expected
to prove a boon to St. Louis in
the matter of furnishing a
cheap electric supply. 1t does
not appear that the expecta-
ton has been realized. In
fact, it is held by the advocates
of cheaper electricity through
public ownership in the chief
city of Missouri that the muni-
cipality is paying 100 per cent
more for electric light at pres
ent than it should be called up
on to pay. In this connection
reference is made to the expe-
rience of Buffalo, n. Y, and
Toronto, Canada. Both cities
are supplied from the same
source-Niagara Falls-but at
entirely different rates.
The difference, it is held, is
caused by the fundamental diff
ference between municipal and |
private ownership. The Ca
madam city, it seems like many
of its sister communities), is
under the municipal ownership
and operation system and has
a maximum rate of 8 cents
Buffalo is under the private
ownership and operation sys-
tenn and has a maximum rate
Of 8 cents. st. Louis has a
maximum rate 2 cents in excess
1f that of Buffalo, or 7 cents
higher than the maximum rate
If Toronto and other Canadi-
an communities. The Buffalo
.ate is to be reduced next Sep
,ember, however, and a rebate
'or excess charges of 100000
S to be paid back to consum-
rs. According to the Star, a
'ebate is more than the con-
of st. Louis ask, "but
hey have the right to ask for
|-cent electricity from the city,
because that is easily possible
md the city should give it," 1t

A suit was filed in the Supreme
court to gain compensation for work
performed by slaves during the years
from 1859 to 1868, in the production of
cotton in the southern states and
preparation of this cotton for the
market. William G. McAdoo is made
the defendant in his official capacity
as secretary of the treasury. The
plaintiffs are H. N. Johnson of Lou
isiana; R. Bowers of Texas; C. B. Will
liams of Mississippi. and Mamie
Thompson of Tennessee. who say in
the bill of complaint that they sue for
themselves and others similarly in
terested
The bill sets forth that the secretary
of the treasury Of the United States
obtained possession, and the defend
ant herein now holds the custody, of
certain money which was a part of
the fruit Of the labor of the plaintiffs
amounting to $68,072, 1888 under "in-
ternal revenue tax on raw cotton.
and that this sum is not the legitimate
property of the United States, and
should be paid to those by whose Ia
Dor the cotton yielding this revenue
was produced.
Another paragraph of the bill reads:
plaintiffs and such of them as claim
here as heirs were subject to a sys-
tenn of involuntary servitude in the
above named states. and other states
commonly known as the Southern
States"
Referring further to the conditions
under which the services were rem
dered, the petition says:
That the system of involuntary SER
vitude by which plaintiffs were domi-
mated, to wit: under and by force
plaintiffs and their ancestors. against
their free will of action and by
coercion and justifiable fear of bodily
injury or destruction, to render said
labor"

E. M. Hewlett, as the local attorney
representing Attorneys Cornelius j.
Jones of Muskogee, Oklahoma, and H.
A Guess. Jones, who is said to have
prepared the bill of complaint, is a

that the case be referred to a master
in chancery, to take proof of the
claims of the parties interested, and
that bill Of discovery be issued to
ascertain among whom the money
shall be distributed and the amounts
that each shall receive. and to have
the secretary of the treasury disclose
the source from which the sum held
by him was derived.
