Two items in the "Mining Men
tion" in this issue of Nugget are
worthy of the careful consideration
of the parties seeking a route for a
railroad from Snake river south
ward to connect with the Central
Pacific. If they leave the traffic
which will eventually originate at
the great South Mountain
out of consideration and go further
west with their road they will find
that they have made a mistake.

Oregon appears to have bred
a set of rascals who could give
the St. Louis boodlers and the
Philadelphia grafters cards and
spade and then beat them. Why,
they are almost as bad as the
managers of the life insurance
companies. There seems to be a
gang of these rascals who, for
how long is not known, have
been forging certificates of title
to Oregon state lands,
counterfeit of the state seal and
notarial seal. These lands they
have sold to eastern investors
and many of these forged titles
have passed county recorders
and been placed on record with
out being detected as counterfeit.
This affair will cause the state
endless trouble and great loss to
many investors.

Congress convened last Tues
day, for the short session. Uncle
Joe Cannon was again chosen as
speaker of the House. The great
fight of the session will be made
on the question of , regulating
railway rates and extending the
powers of the inter-state
merce commission. Backed by
the support of the president, the
proposition will readily carry in
the House, but will meet with
bitter opposition in the Senate,
composed so largely of great
corporation attorneys,
tariff revisionists and the stand
patters will also have an inter
com
The
esting contest. The committee
on privileges and elections will
continue the Smoot investiga
tion, and here is where Senator
Dubois of our own state, a mem
ber of the committee, will make
a strenuous fight. Free trade
with the Philippines and the
question whether the Panama
canal shall be water level or
lock, are other national ques
tions which will come up for dis
cussion.
The leading industry of the
northwestern states, at the pres
ent time,is building railroads—on
paper. Almost every newspaper
one picks up has dispatches from
New York, Chicago, or other
eastern points, telling what is
being done by Harri man, Hill,
Gould, the Milwaukee, the C. &
N. W., the I). B. B. & S. F.,
some other company, toward
reaching the Pacific. Then some
body is interviewed who is able
to tell all about where the routes
will run, whether over Lolo Pass
and down the Clearwater, or
crossing some other pass and
down the Salmon, Payette or
Boise and so on and so on, all
conjecture. We here are inter
ested in seeing some of these pro
jects point as near South Moun
tain as possible. There is to be
a great mining district of lead,
copper and silver, which will
some day, when a railroad sup
plies transportation facilities,
supply traffic. Recent develop
ments denote that when depth is
attained it will be a wonder
among copper producing dis
tricts.

M'CONNELL'S CRITICS.
You nicy have noticed that
some good republican newspap
ers are very severe and rather ill
tempered in their condemnation
of ex-Governor McConnell. They
labor under the sinister delusion
that sufficient argument to si
lence anything he may propose
is to animadvert on his past.
Mr. McConnells past may not
have been all that could be de
sired. Indeed, few men have a
past that is free from serious
blemish. When the final account
ing is made, and the lives of all
men, even unto the deepest
secrets of their hearts, are laid
bare, there are going to be some
tremendous surprises. But, what
has Mr. McConnell's past got to
do with agitation for a fair and
equal taxation? It is patent
that taxation is monstrously
unfair and unequal, therefore, it
would seem that anyone who en
gages iu an attempt to right the
wrong ought to be encouraged
in that particular, whetjier his
past be as pure as an editor's
dream or as rank as a printer's
paste pot. From this it should
not he inferred that Mr. McCon
nell's past is uncommonly bad.
Thousands of eminently respect
able men, who are lauded for ex
emplary conduct, are secretly
practicing about everything that
McConnell was ever accused of.
We knew an editor whose great
soul revolted at mention of Mc
Connell's name because it
associated with the gentlemanly
sport called poker; yet, that
same editor would shoot
in a back room with a moke all (
night, and turn up busted the
next morning, but all cocked (
and primed to lead the fight for
higher morals and nobler aims.
You might call that hypocrisy, (
but it wasn't. I11 the weakness

temptation and temporarily fell; (

while, for the good of mankind,
he publicly inveighed against all
others who were similarly afflict
ed. One of the greatest mistakes
in the world is to judge a doc
trine by the reputation of the
man who advocates it. About
as much trouble has come into
the w'orld through the errors of
good men as the vices of bad
ones, so the source from whence
a doctrine comes is not an infall
ible index to its merit.
Covernor McConnell is preach
ing the doctrine of equal taxa
tion. If the doctrine is sound,
and the need of agitation is
present, he should be encouraged
by all who stand for a square
deal.—Caldwell Tribune.
