Statement of the case in the
of the business men themselves
ment is unnecessary; but, nevertheu. 8S '.
it requires a considerable exertion oî
faith to believe, in the face of such evi
■ dence, that business in Caldwell is ab
normally depressed. With the opening
*oT spring the unnatural and misap
propriated gloom which has hung over
the community for the past nine
Tmonths ought to be cast off. Condi
tions do not afford even a pretext for
melancholia. The evidence of reliable
witnesses affirms that business is fair,
money easy and prospects bright.
These are not reasonable grounds for
dejection. The main cause of calamity—
the time for gloomy apprehensions
has gone by and the catastophe did not
come; now let the natural spirit and
energy of the community assert itself
aud despond give way to cheerfulness
and enterprise. It seems to us that
this is a most fitting time for general
and happy congratulations. We have
passed under the shadow of financial
•woe and a vista of prosperity opens
to view. A little effort will shake off
the last dismal foreboding and the
stress and trials of a brief season
will serve to chasten our characters
and correct our habits. A certain
amount of affliction is necessary to
maintain man's relation to humanity.
Jin prosperity, the higher sentiments
sind impulses are dormant; in adver
sity, the brotherhood of man and the
mercy of Cod became tangible realiza
tions. And let us remember through it
all, that though there has been much
mental and physical pain; yet,
the heart of man has been softened,
the spiritual has been quickened and
elevated, and the same conditions
. 'hich have caused the loss of mater
ial goods have brought untold thous
ands nearer to their Creator. There
is a compensation in every seeming
misfortune and the present has been
110 exception. In this realization we
may view life in a happier mood and re
gard its tribulations as necessary and
profitable discipline and look forward
with certainty to the enjoyment of
its beneficence. The coming year is
full of promise and the good times
with
AFTER THE FLOOD IS OVER.
The flood is come and gone and
things are beginning to resume a
normal aspect. It is needless to talk
about the damages and distress caused.
The suffering in every direction has
been severe, and while we may take
some consolation in the reflection that
it might have been worse, yet, the pal
pable fact remains that it ought not
have happened. The bursting of a
large reservoir is essentially in some
measure a casuality, but, nevertheless,
such accidents are not to be mitigated
by a mistaken zeal for the development
of the country. However important
aud wise it may be to encourage the
construction of reservoirs, it is yet
more imperative to condemn unsub
stantial structures. Whether or not
the demolished dam was a substantial
structure is no longer question for con
troversy. It was not. It makes 110
difference whether it was perforated
and weakened by the clandestine
machinations of a depraved ground
squirrel or overpowered by a cataclysm,
it was a dangerous and inefficient work.
The dam was designed to hold back an
immense body of water; the fact that
it gave way demonstrates one of two
things, viz: It is physically impossible
to hold such a body of water in that
location or the construction was faulty.
No one will entertain the idea of im
possibility, hence the method of con
struction is answerable for the so
called casuality and the people who
built the dam should be held responsi
ble for all damages growing out of
defective construction.
It is claimed that the dam will be
immediately rebuilt. In that event,
the people whose lives and properties
are jeopardized should take some steps
looking to protection. If the dam be
rebuilt this spring, it will, in all proba
bility, be hurriedly and indifferently
done, becoming a greater menace than
ever. It is all very easy for people who
have suffered nothing to take lightly
and even sneeringly of such fears, but
those who were in the late flood are
not in a frame of mind to regard it as
a good joke. In the abstract, a flooded
cellar is not a very grievous calamity
but to the man who has to bale out
water, scrub off mud and live in the
damp and stench it is very remote from
a perennial joy. The Tribune may be
accused of vindictiveness, but, never
theless, we believe that the owners of
the demolished reservoir ought to be
made to pay all accrued damages be
fore being permitted to rebuild, and
then it should not be filled with water
until it has been inspected and ap
proved by state authorities. The de
velopment of this country will not be
materially advanced by constructing
death-traps on every or any eminence.
THE RABBIT PEST.
In vie w the fact that there is a
strong senti »^ ent the county favor
ing a bounty on rabbits, Mr. Gwinn,
Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, has had printed, at no
expense to the people, petition heads
which will be sent all over the county.
This will enable the taxpayers to ex
press themselves on the proposition
and if the majority sentiment favors a
bounty it is probable that the commis
sioners will order it. At the same time
there are serious objections to the pay
ing of a bounty under existing condi
tions. If Canyon county alone should
adopt a bounty, it is possible that she
will have to pay for a considerable ex
termination of the pests for the benefit
of adjoining counties and indeed the
state of Oregon. How will any one be
able to distinguisn a Canyon county
jackrabbit from a native of Ada
county or our sister state across Snake
river? As a matter of fact, it is possi
ble to financially swamp this countv.
This is a serious matter. If joining
counties could be induced to pay the
same bounty that this one may, then a
great part Qf the difficulty wçuld be
overcome. The Tribune submits this
j matter for careful consideration and
hopes some method may be found
whereby the rabbit can be exterminated
without grave injustice to this particu
lar county.
ONLY THREE.
In the last few days two hopeful
newspapers that had "come to stay"
have quietly climbed the golden stairs
and gone to meet their reward. The
Logan county Review was first
to succumb and then followed in
its dolorous wake the Montpeliei
Republic. Theirs was a brief but
pathetic history. In the flush and
promise of a vigorous youth, they
were called on to lay down the bur
dens of life and slump away into the
trackless waste. The whole story is
told in a few words. It ta if es money
to run a newspaper. In its valedic
tory the Republic is compelled to
make a harrowing confession. In all
the broad land, it had only three paid
up subscribers. Think of putting into
operation the whole machinery of the
press—think of the mighty and foree
ful engine expending its intellectual
throbs on 3 lone souls in this wilder
ness of humanity; then, the pride
and arrogance ot those 3, when they
came to realize that for months the
energy and brains of the Republic had
been devoted to moulding their
thoughts, elevating their hearts and
informing their understandings. But
the contemplation is painful.
SOME MORE FUSION.
It will be a happy day when a news
paper may state a fact or give an
opinion without being accused of sin
ister motives. Positively denying any
intention to animadvert, censure or
criticise, may we be permitted to state
thai the Moscow Democrat has come
out in open advocacy of a Democratic
Populist fusion. In its issue of the
15th the Dbnucral says:
An open, honorable fusion of the Democratic
and Populist parties would certainly ensure the
overthrow of Republican corruntlonists and ring
sters. The combining of the masses against
these parasites would route them completely,
and the fair state of Idaho would become some
thing more than the festive board of maladmin
istrators. But can a fusion be made? The Popu
list leaders seem to be adverse to it and the
Democrats are not particularly fond of the
proposition. This fact, however, does not
make the joining of forces impracticable. Party
differences should not be considered in local,
county nor state elections, and especially in
times such as the present, when a change must
be had. We must work for the common good of
the people, and if a fusion would result in the
bringing about of that good a fusion should be
made.
We have heretofore held that fusion was unnec
essary to bring about a change, hut from figures
now before us we find we were mistaken and
stand corrected. We therefore will readily favor
any step that will tend to rid the taxpayers of
the state of the Republican yoke they have borne
in of "
st
»I

Republican ring masters' reign will soon be over.
The boodlers will not even remain to erase their
black records.
these many years. Let each of the weaker par
ties get together, amicably agree upon a ticket,
putting up the best material obtainable, and then
let everybody stand firm on that tic"
