BLACK FOOT, IDAHO, JULY S, 1893.
Extras always come high, but the
country can stand the bill for an ex
tra session of congress this summer
when there is so much of thirst and
hunger for a square meal of finance.

should step down from the lofty

August, tlis absence from the Na

The call for an extra session of
congress to begin August 7th will!
have a good effect, for it will put :
the members to thinking, and cause j
them to discuss the subject of the call j
with their constituents and thereby j
return to the capitol prepared to do
something and do it quickly.

Secretary Morton puts this prob- '
Jem on the board for the class in fi- !
panee : If the purchase of 4,500,000
ounces of silver per month be paid
for in gold and tbe purchase be con
tinued for months, which will hold
out the longest, the gold of the United
Somethino is being done to purge
the pension rolls of unworthy mem
bers. Lists of persons found to be
undeserving are being made up, and
they arc being weeded out little by
little. In one list made public this
week eleven appear from the records
of the War Department to be desert
ers at large. Others did not serve
the required ninety days, others draw
ing widows' pensions had remarried,
several were found to be drawing pen
sions ou account of disabilities result

If
the facts are represented in these cases
there can be no doubt of the propriety
of dropping the individuals in quee-1

of purging cannot result in any harm

India's action in stopping the free

The appointment of J. C. Straughan
to be surveyor general for Idaho was
a sudden victory for the general. No'
oue, we take it, was more startled by I
' cs suddenness than he. lu point of
t ' cne H was a surprise to every one in
Idaho. But The News of last week
j rea d tbe sign aright and gave the cor
rect interpretation of it.
j A letter received from Washington
! touching upon the matter of the ap
j pointment says in substance about
this: The general's application
tbe only one on tile; the secretary was
! considering land appointments; strong
! eastern friends of the general knew
| these facts and by a coup de main mov
j ed upon the secretary for the nppoint
ment. There was but one applicant
; for the office, there could be
test, no friction; the secretary yielded,
; the appointment was made,
! the story in a nut shell,
j
j tion won a victory in the appointment
! over the State organization and Mr.
j Beano of the National Committee is
: without any foundation. The
pointment was plainly due to the ef
forts of eastern friends and
J- M. Bennett, of Pocatello, is
enlisted in a most commendable work.
She has been to the World's Fair and
knows from personal knowledge of
tlio attention paid to Idaho's exhibit,
She knows of the eager, earnest cn
quiriee made about Idaho aud of the |
eagerness with which information
touching her advantages and capabil-1
dies is asked for and sought. These ;
enquiries arc mostly from interested .
parties who arc seeking homes in a !
new country. Mrs. Bennett proposes
to place this Information before them j

Fremout, Bingham and Bannock
counties. To this end she asks each
county to contribute to her pamphlet 1

for.
We believe Bingham s commis- '
sioners will be prompt to do their
duty in this matter, and in doing it |
they will have the plaudit of the tax
payers for it. j
Bingham properly advertised will,
become a populous, wealthy county, ;

How long the extraordinary session

the tariff. There will be no delay in
