THE FIFTY INCH.
A week or so ago the Tribune had
a word to say. respecting a notable
discovery made by canal companies to
the effect that 50 inches of water is
ample to properly irrigate 80 acres of
land. No doubt this discovery is
well supported by facts, and the man
agers of t he big ditches will be on hand
with voluminous data and incompre
hensible statistics to prove that,
scientifically, 50 inches is the exact
amount of water ordained in the plan
of creation to profitably generate and
develop 80 acres of crop. And what
farmer dare go behind science sup
portod by the law and the prophets?
But it is strange that so important a
discovery should contribute to the
benefit of no earthly being or institu
tion but the canal companies whose
period of existence is now drawing
a close. If in the design of nature 50

inches of water be the amount suth
cient for each acre of land, why not
. ..
reduce the cost per acre tu the farmer
l "'"' ojein °r ner ilH 1
instead of increasing the cost per inch
of water? A discovery so far reach
ing ought to have, at least, a measure
of common beneficence. Apply the
principle in another direction and
witness the result. Suppose the mer
chants of Canyon county should or
dain that each family could get along
quite as comfortably with three eights
less sugar than is now used and then
proceed to add three eights to the
cost oer pound, would people tolerate
that kind of a regulation ? Not, likely,
Then will they submit to the opera
tion of the same principle applied to
water? This economic discovery is,
simply a contrivance whereby the
canal companies can squeeze from the
people $2.40 per inch for water which
has been selling at $1.50 per inch. We
will not dwell on this subject at present,
but it is quite evident that the canal peo
pie are blindly manufacturing a club
with which their own brains will be
beaten out. There is a legislature
coming and it will be a bodv devoted
to the interests of the people. When
that legislature meets there wili be
woe in the midst of the water-lords.
HUMBLY SUGGESTED.
— ...
The Tribune is not familiar with
the "ins and "outs of the city politi
eal labyrinth If there be hopes and
aspirations and slates and counter
slates, we are profoundly ignorant of
their purport or existence. It is well.
We understand, however, it is the
ancient and honorable custom in Cald
well to ignore party factlms and dis
tine! ions in the selection of city officers
and go in for the man irrespects e of
itical affiliations, lakiug all this
political affiliations. Taking all this
for granted and without reflection on
present incumbents, we may without
fear of offense take the liberty of mak
ing a suggestion. Whether or not Mr.
Skbree desires to longer occupy the
position he has filled with so much
hoiior and satisfaction is to us un
known. If he does, it would be but a
just tribute to his past services to re
elect him. On the other hand, if it be
his
portuneto mention a possible successor
We know of 110 man who would be
more generally acceptable or more
competent to perform the functions of
Mayor of the city of Caldwell than Mr.
A. K.m'eunenberrt. He has the credit
of an old inhabitant without the charac
teristics or stigma of mossbackism. 1 le
is known to be a substantial and pro
gressive citizen and has been largely
instrumental in promoting the up
building and prosperity of this com
munity. There could be 110 possible
mistake in his election with every
promise of an advantageous and satis
factory choice. Whether or not Mr.
Steuxenberg will consent to be a
candidate is something we know
nothing about and we mention him
merejy as a happy possibility. In
nuking favorable mention of Mr.
- .
intention to rerire, the time is op
une to mention a possible successor,
;
Stki nknbkkcj it is not our design to
detract from the merit or opportun
ity of any one who may aspire tp the
distinguished title of Mayor. Ours is
simplj a humble suggestion, ignoring
of which, will neither break our heart .
nor unseat ou r understa nding. ,
SENATORIAL INGRATITUDE, j
;
The public will be pained to learn
that through the dereliction of Semitor
llCBois, iûauo lias escaped the honor ^
of the reinstatement of our "Messiah"
into public office. If it had been a
! case of fruitless effort or even inat
! tention, there would be less occasion
for complaint, but the business savors
of ingratitude and desertion. The
"Messiah" wanted to be commissioner
of Indian depredations claims; he
pined to do a holy and philantropic
{ work for depleted and despoiled hn
manity; he longed to repair the little
evils incident to reclaiming the noble
"red" of Idaho. In the magnanimity
of his sublimated soul, he offered on
the altar of self-sacrifice his time and
energies and variegated accomplish
ments that those who had suffered
might attain compensation. He said,
the claims in Idaho are many but
trifling; man is naturally grasping
and mercenary and he is few who
will give his brain and brawn to the
pursuit, of little things. But I am
different. I will prosecute these little
claims until the last vestige expires.
Make me commissioner and it will be
' well with your soul. Forget not the
! hour of your own sore distress when
! a secretary's signature saved you from
j penury and want. Forget it not!
j Forget it not! ! But the Senator
j wrote a cold, heartless reply. He
; said, my venerable and fortuitous
i friend, the jig is up. lour î^ame is
pants. The Government at Washing
ton is fornenst you. Politically you
^ ^ ^ nu ;„hf
: the Messiah "Shook" and another hor
; exara p] e i s added to the wrecks
of human ingratitude, and the lustre
of Idaho's fame as an institution for
the elevation of political outcasts has
lost its wonted sheen.
IN SELF-DEFENSE.
The Idaho World, generally a fair
and discriminating journal, is moved
: to criticise the Tribune with some de
! gree of severity without just cause or
| provocation. Dazed by a new-born
zeal it has fallen into an error already
too common in this state—an error
which owes its sway to the foolish ani
mosities of the newspapers themselves
j and which does mye to cast discredit
! on the fraternity than all other influ
! ences combined. The error consists in
! this: An assumption that the whole
j purpose and business of a newspaper is
; to champion the cause of some political
' party. Working upon this supposition
and directed by pure malevolence or a
j bilious ambition for literary distinction,
the World, by implication, accuses the
Tribune of having no excuse for ex
istence except promotion of the Re
publican party or the McConnell
wing thereof. It is riot our purpose to
quarrel with the World, nor do we be
i lieve it possible to correct its wilful
j m j s ^ a j ies . y e t } if it can find any proof
- n SU pp 0r ^ 0 f assumption, except its
own p erV ersity, we would be glad to
, j tuow ^ jj ie \y or id i s ungenerous in
j chHrgillg hypocr iey on the Tribune,
un j ess deviation from its opinions im
• ^ degree of moral turpitude. But
( curious to know by what men
tal process such a conclusion ctm i d be
an .; ve( j 'p 0 sa y ^hat, differing from
j ( j a | 1(> Woi'ld involves any measure
^ depravity is to state a paradox ad-j
mitt'ing no possibility of truth in fact.
The World charges that the Tribune
is in travail over the possibile ascend
ency of the Populist party. Whether
the Populist party thrive or fall into
utter decay is a matter of very little
mome4 .1t to the Tribune . Our faith
rests in the American people and what
soever they will is our pleasure. The
T ribune , however, reserves the right
to express its opinion on passing events,
j t ma y w itH equal honesty if
less elegance than does the World. If
the Worhl manages to keep itself as
free from party entanglements as does
the Tribune , it will have little occh- j
sion to bewail its own subserviency ;
and fewer temptations to suspect !
truckling in others. The World ailirnis !
with more vigor than understanding
that the Populist party is not the ad- ,
vocate of an irredeemable paper money,
The World mistakes in trying to twist j
Populist politics to lit its ovvn financial
creed. The Populist theory of money;
rests absolutely and ultimately on the
fiat of government, and that the gov- j
eminent stamp, for monetary purposes,
imparts to a frayed dishrag all tiie
functions and powers of solid, gold.
Now, with respect to a political amour j
between the Democratic and Populists, j
the Tribune makes 110 pretentions to
actual knowledge 011 tfie subject, but
jf winsome smiles and coy approaches
gjg^jfy anything, the nuptials are at
j iau ^ however •'unnatitral the union."
j,i or particulars reference is made to
j(j a ho Falls Times, Pooatello Her
^l mor Bulletin and Silver Mes
senyer also the happy coincidences of
Populistic votes in the National legis
lature. We hope the World is not,
lago like, seurciiiag for ocular proof.

Last Saturday afternoon the farmer's
and citizens generally of Middleton met
in the school house for the purpose of
discussing and tatting preliminary
steps looking to the organization of a
farmers anu producers association.
The scope of the proposed association
is designed to be broad enough to in
clude promotion of the best interests ot
all agricultural, horticultural and stock
raising industries. At the meeting the
question of establishing a creamery
was discussed at some length and met
with favorable consideration. Mr. A.
E. Gipson gave some valuable informa
tion respecting the subject and said
that a responsible merchant of Cald
well would undertake to handle the
whole butter product of a first class
creamery at 3D cents per pound. The
matter of a pork packing establishment
was considered at some length and the
need of such an institution was forcibly
demonstrated. The fruit industry also
received attention, and facts were
brought out shown. g the immense pos
sibilities of Canyon county in that di
rection. The fanners discussed the va
rious questions with earnestness and
intelligence, showing that they were
fully alive to the conditions which sur
round them. A committee was ap
pointed to draft a plan of permanent
organization and another meeting or
dered for last Wednesday. Among the
reliable and progressive people taking
an active interest in this important
movement may be mention. Messrs.
Foote, Plow head, Blessinger, Watkins,
Chaney and others whose acquaintance
we do not enjoy. After adjournment,
the Tribune man lingered around to
hear various comments 011 matters
generally. We jotted flown the follow
ing: .
Hogs can be and are being success
fully raised on no other feed but alfalfa.
It is cut voung aud improved by chop
ping and boiling.
Caldwell is losing considerable busi
ness because goods can be purchased
cheaper at Boise or Nampa.
Money is sent out of the country to
purchase flour which is nowise superior
to the product of home mills.
Merchants refuse to pay cash for the
eggs of native hens aud then send away
cash to buy Utah eggs. When the
farmer's are organized thev will insti
tute retaliatory measures.
The great trouble with farmers is
that they run in debt too much. Hav
ing a good credit they overstrain it un
til they lose their independency.
The farmer's must unite and pull to
gether lor their common good, then by
exercising economy and intelligence
they can master the situation.
The foregoing are a few samples of
the voluntary and unrestrained ex
pressions of the farmers and contain
much good» hard sense.
On the outside we heard that Mid
dleton people were in dead earnest on
the county seat proposition and mean
to make a hard fight. It is claimed
that JSampa, Emmett and Payette give
them encouragement while 011 the other
hand Caldwell has never treated Mid
dleton with proper consideration.
Politics are bubbling up a little and
after the farmers meeting a Republican
primary was held for the purpose of
electing a precinct committeeman.
The ^feo^le'ü party held a meeting in
the evening which was larerely attended
but did not gather a very large club
membership. A Middleton citizen says
that Populism is losing ground in that
neighborhood.
The country surrounding Middleton
is the most delightful imaginable and
extremely productive. If the county
seat should go there it will be a
mighty tine place to live in or even go to
jail to.
