THE LAW MAREKS.
Boise Letter.
Boise, Idaho, Jauuary 16.—It is con
fidently predicted that the ninth ses
siou of the legislature will go down in
the histoiy of the state as being com
posed of the most earnest and deter
mined set of men Idaho has ever called
together to do her bidding. The mem
bers throughout, so far as can be judged
by appearances, are all here with one
determination, and that is to do the
best they can for their state, to see that
such legislation as is passed is of value,
and to prevent the defeat of the will of
the people iu any particular.
Never in the history of Idaho has the
message of a governor made such a pro
found impression on both the members
of the legislature, and also upon all who
heard it or read it, as did that of Gover
nor F. R. Gooding, which was presented
to the legislature last Tuesday. Even
those who are opposed to the governor's
recommendations for tile enactment of
remedial legislation, have compliment
ed the message as being plain, manifest
ly, sincere .and filled with a fine dig
nity. The leading men of the city of
all political parties have expressed
their appreciation of it iu the highest
terms, aud it is constantly alluded to
as-oue of the strongest documeuts of
the kind ever seut to the legislature of
an American state.
The recommendations for new laws
which are made in the message are al
ready in the way of being enacted. Re
presentative Balieutyne has introduced
a bill providing (or the creation of a
railroad commission, his bill beiug very
similar to the law at present iu force iu
Wisconsin. It provides for a commis
siou of three members, appointed by
the governor, each member to bold of
fice for six years,
to be appointed will hold office for two,
four aud six years, so that a term will
expire every two years. It is expected
that a bill similar iu character will be

is expected on the measure,

From the
nein tiers, it is
appareul that a good majority of tiie
house members are iu favor of the bill.
As to the position of the members of
tiie state senate but little is kuowu.
Several of the very strong members of
that body are avowed advocates of the

charges.
An anti-pass bill, anti-trust bill, eight

bill, timber protection law,
election law aud anti lobby bill besides

a number of other important measures
have been introduced in tiie bouse and
are now beiug printed.
These aye all
Jaws promised Ihe people in the repub
lican state platform atid the republican
members of the legislature have ex
pressed the intention of seeiug that
every sue , promise is materialized iuio
a law at the earliest possible morneut.
The question of county division will
come up for cousideration at once. It
is now known that two division bills
will be up, providing for thecreatiou of
Carey couutv, with county seat at Twin
Falls, the uew county being lakeu from
Cassia county, and of Bouuer county,
with county seat at Saud Point, out ot
Kootei ai county. The creatiou ot
these counties is not beiug opposed by
anyone, both parties having eudoi eed
the division scheme, aud agreed upon
identical division liues. There has been
some talk about olhe> county division
schemes coming before the legislature.
Latterly, however, all Ibis has died
dowu, and it is not now thought here
that liiw proposals to divide Fremont,
B ugh am or Nez Perce counties will even
proceed so far as to see tue introduction
of bills for ihat purpose.

the proposition was before
Cougress to establish a currency for

the Senate called in Senators Teller .
and Aldrich to help formulate some
thing that would accomplish what was
I
needed. They had tried to degrade it? |
But, more especially, why should the
manufacturers a d exporting mer
chants of our country be kept in per
petual anxiety over a business proposi
tion which could be settled iu five min
utes by Congress?
As it is, when an Americau merchant
buys and seuds a cargo of merchandise
to Cbiua or South America he does not
know whetiier he is going to get his pay
in 80-cent dollars or in dollars worth
$ 1 . 10 .
Two years ago J. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads, put on two immense steamships
to run iu the China aud Seattle trade.
Iu one of his speeches about that time
tie said if China would buy Hour to the
amouut of $5 per capita for iter people
it would bring to the Uuited Slates
82.000. 000.000 per annum. He tried it,
but found that Chiua bad not the live
dollars. She would be glad to purchase
100.000. 000 ounces of silver per annum
aud pay for it through her merchandise
aud customs. She wants to develop her
wonderful but slumbering resources,
but she cannot for want of mouey.
Indeed, bad all the silver taken from
all our mines since the discoveiy of the
Comstock forty-eight years ago been
shipped to Chiua, it would not have
giveu her people 86 per capita. We
have over $33 per ca| it i in one aud an
other form of money a id yet we are
told that both New York aud London
are worried over tiie drain of gold that
lias come upon them. The Bank of
England has just borrowed 82,5UO,t)UO
from the Bank of Fiauce '"to tide Lou
don over Jauuary," aud the Bauk of
Euglaud has doub-ed her usual discouut
rate.
We believe that the aunuai demand
of Europe aud the United States for the
arts aud for subsidiary coinage, and the
amouut needed by Great Britaiu for
india and the Straits settlements, is
more than is taken from all the mines
of the Uuited States and Mexico.
Then why not consider the question
from a business standpoint?
Whv should not Congress pass a law
to the effect that while maintaining the
gold standard, the Government will at
the same lime, to place the business of
our export merchants aud manufactu
rers dealing with silver countries on a
stable basis, receive silver iu exchange
from such countries at the rate of On
eouts (or 81.00) per ounce, aud sell sil
ver to such countries at the same rate.
That would fix thé price of silver the
world uround as fast as the cable coold
carry it. If any congressman doubts
that, let the bill be made to take effect
60 days after its passage.
It would not only place silver ou a
stable basis but would be a uiigluy re
lief to the bonking centers, f r it would
stop the flow of gold to Spanish Antéri
eur, to Egypt and to Japan.
Finally it would he a great thing for
our trade with South America and the
Orient. Is it not worth trying for?—

Some men's idea of economy is to spend
less money for some other necessity and
more for clothes.
Because of the methods, organization and
immensity of the tailor shops that the
clothes we measure men for come from
no stinting is necessary to obtain here a
suit or overcoat of as good value as the
local tailor can give you for 100/ more.
And every garment made strictly to each
man's measure — to modify every abnor
mality— to build up every shortcoming.
