Government Running Behind.
To the person fond of figures
an interesting bit of reading is fur
nished in the perusal of those re
lating to the national expenditures
for the past ten years.
It is generally believed that our
government revenues are largely in
excess of government expenditures,
but such is not always the rase.
In the four years of President
Cleveland's first administration
the excess between income and out
go was $100,000,000 per annum.
When he retired from office he
left a full treasury of which Presi
dent Harrison speedly made ducks
and drakes.
When President Cleveland again
took office there was no surplus in
the United States treasury, and he
was forced to meet the exigencies
of a currency crisis and immencely
increase the national obligation by
borrowing money.
President McKinley increased
the debt so begun to meet the de
mands of the war with Spain, al
though war taxes were imposed
and customs and internal revenue
receipts were greatly increased.
The fiscal year ending Juno 30,
1903, Bhowed'a surplus of $54,000,
000, and the fisoaljyear ending
June 30, 1904, showed a deficit of
$42,000,000.
If the tax-payers of the nation
would take time to do a little fig
uring they would discover that it
was not possible^ for the govern
ment of the United States to make
"both ends meet" without the im
position of war taxés in time of
peace, the deficit of. 1904 being
caused by army and navy expendi
tures.
The question of stamp taxes is
being vigorously, though quietly,
agitated among tbe "standpatters"
of the east, and it is not unlikely
that such a source of revenue will
be adopted to meet the great out
go which the ultra military char
acter of the present administration
necessitates.—Butte Miner.

Some people get the mistaken
idea in their heads that the only
thing necessary for success is to
"toot their own horuB.
a man that is proud of his business
or profession and has the courage
to say to the world that his goods
or his ability is equal to the best.
But when a man thinks that he is
'IT' and tries to tell an intelligent
public that he is the only mau that
accomplishes results, that he is the
only man that can do good printing
we simply pitty him. If such peo
ple had half the ability they try to
make people think they have they
would certainly be gobbled up by
curio hunters instead of being left
to bloom alone and waste their
fr agrance on the desert air.

The Idaho legislature will con
next Monday at Boise and the
vene
people are wondering what new
laws will be enacted. With no
senator to elect we should get
some good and wholsome legisla
tion. At present the most promi
nent issne seems to be whether or
not an extension of time will be
granted for the removal of timber
fiom state lands, the timber having
recently been purchased by an
eastern syndicate.
Is republican prosperity a farce ?
Since the late election there is a
general slump throught the United
States in business matters, with no
indication of improvement.
Parker had been elected we should
have seen the republican news

success, and saying " I told you

The annual meeting of the Ida

January 17 aud a large number of
newspaper men are expected to be
present.

The Philippine railroad subsidy
bill has passed the senate and will
be promptly approved by the
president. It provides for the pay
ment of four per cent, annual in
terest, for 30 years upon al! capital
invested in the Philippines in the
construction of railroad lines. The
equipment is also to be admitted
into the islands free of all duty,
and the investors are permitted to
import all the Chinese coolie labor
they may require in the construc
tion of the roads. This is one of
the greatest grafts of modern times,
and is for special benefit of E. H.
Harri man and the other heads of
the Northern Securities merger,
which has purchased all the fran
chises granted by the old Spanish
government for railroad purposes.

There is a strong effort being
made to increase the number of
forest ranges on the public reserves,
it being- claimed that the increase
is necessary to protect the timber
from fires. It is well known by
people living near these reserves
that the rangers are practically
powerless to prevent or extinguish
fires and if the force was increased
several times the loss from fires
could not be noticibly less. Our
titulier, it is true, is one of our
most valuable public possessions
but it is in greater need of protec
tion from land sharks who are re
ceiving special grants from our
public officials, than from fire.
The Standard Industrial edition
is out and, apart from thé few
typographical errors that are bound
to creep into such work, is a very
neat production.
Don't resolve that you are going
to do better at the beginning of the
new year but do it.

Tucker, of Centre, Ala., "I have
used it in my family for piles,
cuts and burns for years and can
recommend it to be the best salve
on the market. Every family
should keep it, as it is an invalu
able household remedy, and should
always be kept on hand for im

of North Bush, N. Y., says:
had a fever sore on my ankle for
twelve years that the doctors could
not cure. All salves and blood
remedied proved worthless. I
conld not walk for over two years.
Finally I was persuaded to try
DeWitt's With Hazel salve, which
has completely cured me. It is a

Teacher Receives Present.
The pupils of the Big Butte dis
trict surprised their teacher with
a beautiful and useful Christmas
present last Friday. The teacher,
D. M. Story, had arranged to have
Christmas exercises on Friday
afternoon and the pupils plauned
to give him a present to show their
appreciation for the efforts that he
is- putting forth for their advance
ment. The present was a beauti
ful writing set and was presented
by Miss Kate Moynaugb with ap
propriate remarks. After this in
terruption the program was re
sumed which consisted of recita
tions and songs. All the pupils
joined heartily in the exercises.
This school- is one of the best
equipped rural schools in tbe coun
ty. The buililiug is large and well
finished aud equipped with patent
seats and hardwood furniture.
With such a house and the harmony
between the teacher and pupils it
is useless to say that the pupils are
making rapid advancement in their
work. There were a few visitors
present.*

One of the recommendations
which Governor-elect Gooding will
doubtless make to the legislature
will be to abolish the office of state
sheep inspector aud substitute the
office of veterinary surgeon. The
question of creating the latter office
has been agitated for some time.
It is claimed that such an official
is needpd who would have authori

animais. It is further claimed that
he could handle sheep disease as
well as it is being done under the
