pleasant Easter Service will be held at

WORDS OF PRAISE.
The People of Idaho and Montana Under Obli
gations.
The Washington, (D. C.) Pos£, of the
10th contains the following: Ex-Gov.
S. T. Häuser, of Montana, appointed
Governor of the Territory by President
Cleveland, and one of the few Demo
crats that after holding office only a
few months resigned, left for New
York yesterday. He has been in the
city for several weeks. He and Gov.
Burke, of Idaho, have been laboring
with Democratic friends in Congress
in the interest of the lead and wool
industries of their States. Before
leaving, the Governor, in a short inter
view, stated that at one stage of the
proceedings of the senatorial commit
tee they had adopted the lead schedule
of the Wilson bill, which made lead
and lead ore practically free. This, he
said, would be ruinous to his State,
following, as it would, so closely the
destruction of the silver industry, by
the repeal of the Sherman bill. He
was unstinted in his praise of Senator
Dubois, saying that since his heroic
fight in the interest of silver the peo
ple of his State regarded him as one
of their champions, both Democrats
and Republicans, and that he was
only too glad to confirm the wisdom
of their opinion; that he had found
the Senator had great influence with
all the Democratic silver Sentators,
and was an untiring worker, and that
he did not hesitate to say—adding:
"I mean no disparagement of our
own Senator, who is untiring and
watchful of our interest"—that the
people of Montana and Idaho were
under direct obligations to Fred. Du
bois for the good work he had done
in getting the small duty upon lead
ores—sufficient, he thought, to save
them from at least immediate ruin.
Evidently the Governor had fallen in
line with the conservative wing of
bis party.
WELL PLACED SYMPATHY.
Public Charity not Thrown Away aa
Claimed.
Editor Tribune : In justice to humanity
and that noble sense which prompts us to relieve
the distressed, in our midst, we reel constrained
their déeds of charity have not been unworthily
bestowed. Mr. Culson, being an old soldier,
made it a duty incumbent upon our Post to in
vestigate his character, service, and the alleged
distress of himself an0 family. We did this by
sending two commiitees, at different dates, to
the home of Mr. Colson to investigate. They
found him to be an ex-soldier of the 2nd, Ne
braska cavalry, having participated in several
fights with the Indians on the frontier. He
served about 13 months, and is recognized by the
Interior Department at Washington as a worthy
applicant for pension. The children are intelli
gent and the parents show evidence of having
seen better times and better conditions. They
came here with a little money but two failures of
crops and the burden of a large family have re
duced them to their present condition, one fail
ure was for want of water the other was a flood
of water. In the analysis of this official docu
ment the writer says the 4 'old man has not done
day's work for 18 months." Wh>? Because he
is ö7 years of age and not able to work. He said :
* "they are too lazy to haul straw when it is given
them. ' ' The truth is, no straw has been offered
them except a part or a load which was across
three sloughs which they could not get at.
Further: ''That one girl had a good place to
stay, but the family hung around so much that
the girl was sent home." The man with whom
the girl stopped, Mi. Lowell, says this is not
true, that the gil l stayed and filled her contract
then went home. He says "the old man cau
j walk further and faster than any man in that
vMnity." Think of it ! An old man 67 years of
age—an invalid, out walking all the young men
In that neighborhood. Further "the oldest boy
wasoffered 6o cents a day to teed-stock,. the ol<'
jnan demanded $l .oo otherwise he should not
go. ' ' The truth is, the boy was offered 50 cents
per day for three days when the boys were mak
ing that much or more catching fish for the
family. Then the boy would have had to walk
six or seven miles and back for three days work
at 50 cents per day. Mr. Colson further said:
"If the boy can get two weeks work I will let
him go. " Again : ' 'The neighbors have no re
gard for the old man whatever. ' ' Stronir language
isn't it? We are glad to note some have be
stowed charity on the family, however, and
eiven employment to one or two of the boys.
It is his opinîrm that the woman and smaller
children should have help but the old man and
boys should be put to work or else left to starve.
Will public charity intervene and seperate man
and wife after living together 20 or 30 vears with
a large family about them and cast the old sol
dier aside as worthless to this charity.? Mr.
Colson says he has offered to let any or all of the
children out into homes but has received no offers.
He could build better if lie had lumber. Could
haul if he had a wago'i—the one they have being
broken and worthless. They haul sagebrush on
trucks, the wheels of which were sawed from the
trunk of a tree. The inference, Mr. Editor,
that this man is a dead-beat, imposter, indolent,
and obtaining aid under false plea is wruiyj. We
have been in the house, talked with man and
wife, invoiced their stock of provisions at two
different times, and know whereof we speak.
At the time of our coldest weather there was
but two heads of cabbage as their entire stock
of provisions. It was the pinch of cold and
hunger that caused them to cry out—help
help, which caught the ears of the good Samari
tans of Caldwell. The merchants of our town
did a timely act in shoeing the children and as
soldiers and citizens we wish to say—we ap
preciate your kindness in behalf of a comrad,
and we trust that a kind providence may guide
your foot steps to peace and that the gaunt,
gray wolf of penury and dispair, may never
visit your doors. By order of tne,
