A new Man in Politics, But Honest. Boise Jan. 28tb, 1897. Editor Examiner:— The agony was con cluded to-day and Henry Heitfeld of Nez Perce county was elected U. S. senator by a vote of 39 out of a total of 70. The democratic party has dis charged its honorable obligation to the Peoples party, against unpre cedented outside pressure both local and national, and the peoples representatives feel they have kept Jieir party pledges. Among the democrats who were recreant to their trust and pledges may be mentioned only J. M. Bal lantine of Ada, Thomas E. Bassett, of Fremont, C. C. Clawson of Blaine and J. W. Hayes of Fre mont, who after constant atten dance on the democratic caucus and with every protestation - of fealty to their party until last night—today voted for Dubois, Here they will explain for their constituents remains a matter for their solution. Great excitement prevails among the Dubois men. Protests was filed in the joint assembly* with the evident intention of pre venting Heitfeld from taxing his seat, but his majority of 3 over the necessary 36 will settle that point. Mr. Heitfeld is a farmer, a man of very Unassuming manners and said to be thoroughly honest, and better than all a democrat at heart and in principle. I have only time to say so much with the additional remark that we can now get down to. legislative work. invi< Yours* J. C. Rich. , Jury List.

The citizens cf Soda Sprfligs met on Saturday evening and elected a committee to go to Boise and lobby for a bill requiring a tax of five cents per head on all foreign sheep pastured in this county. This is certainly a move in the right direction and we hope they will receive support from other pre-> cincts — Adyance. An exchange says: Members of the Idaho legislature are allowed mileage at the rate of ten cents per mile for the distance traveled in going to and returning from the sèseions. The constitution pro vides, however* that the members shall not receive such mileage when ihey travel on passes. A bill has been passed allowing them full mileage whether they traveled on passes or not,—Idaho World, COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OLD OFÏDER OF THINGS HOLD, Probate Judges to Continue ai Ex-Officio School Superin tendents, The supreme court in a Uuani 4 mous opinion prepared by Justice Quarles yesterday decided that pro 4 bate judges shall act as ex-officio county school superintendents un til the expiration of their terms. The opinion was handed down irt the case of J. J. Blake vs the com missioners of Ada cobnty in Which a writ of mandate was asked for and granted compelling the com 4 missipners to permit him to quai, ify as county superintendent, AG ter reciting the facts surrounding the case the opinion says: "The said amendment does not in express terms* nol - . «s we view it, by necessary Implication, pro 4 vide that it shall go into immediate effect. The said amendment says that 'the legislature by Uniform and general laws shall provide for the election biennially in each of 1 the several counties of the state * * * a county superintendent of public instruction,' etc, Tnis lan guage clearly shows that it Was the intention that the separation of the two offices should not take* place until the legislature gKftll have provided for the election of a county superintendent of public instructions. It. requires legisla tion to give effect to the amend ment, hence the said amendment is not self-executing and is not in operation—nor can it come into full operation Until the legislature by general and Uniform law,' shall have provided for the election* at the general biennial election, of a county superintendent of public instruction* and such election has been had. The opinion recites that the legislature is authorised to provide for election* not appointment, of county supt's. and continuing* says: "The old order of things will continue until the machinery tot carrying the amendment in queS 4 tion into effect according to*the let 4 ter and spirit of said amendment shall have been provided.'* The opinion* in Conclusion, states that the probate judges are entitled to qualify as County superinten 4 dents and grants the peremptory writ prayed for.—Statesman. Governor bteunenberg has te 4 ceived from Commissioner Lam 4 or eaux of the general land office clear list No. 6 , or patent, for 3280 acres of land in Kootenai county in township 54 north, fanges 4 and 5 west. This makes a total of 348*39G.13 acres patented to the state under the various grants from the federal government. Professor Booth has arranged a unique way of encouraging his pupils to study. Those who have good lessons are presented with a badge bearing the letters D. P.* which stands for "deligent pupil,'* those who have poof lessons are required to wear one with the let 4 tern P. D., which stands for "pef 4 petual dunce." The scheme has worked well so far. The investigating committe promise pretty sensational de 4 velopments when they make their 'report on the state officials. One part refers to a certain school loan made on a piece of land not far from Paris, in which $1000 of the state's money was loaned on » piece of property worth about $500. Some other rotten deals are also to be exposed.
