We would call your attention to
the article, in the last issue of the
Forum, headed “Capital Needed”
and then refer to the work that is
being- done on Idaho bar ami on
Hoosier. These are the only two
instances, in the history of the
camp, where one d >11 ir was spent
to develop a claim, before a bonan
za was in sight.
It is, Or should be, the fPttficy of
all news papers, which are not per
sonal organs, to call attention to
all abuses; to support and advocate
law and order; to publish the news
impartially; to try and benefit the
community from which it derives
its support. This, the Forum has
done in the past, and will continue
to do.

When Judge Wickersham arrives
here to hold court, some interesting
legal points will be settled. Great
confidence is expressed in the in

fact, that when on the bench, he
is strictly impartial, prefering none.
The Filipinos are surrendering
daily, in large numbers. The pro
babilities are, that the savages in
the interior, will still hold out; just
because they are savages.
