THE DEMOCRAT makes no apology fol
manifesting the deepest interest in the
Idaho Congressional election. The elec
ton of Delegate here to represent the
American element in Utah is out of the
question, and our law abiding people look
to their neighboring Territory to furnish
a representative who will ably and hon.
e silly present and urge their side of the
question, in which the loyal citizens of
Idaho and Utah are equally interested.

the Administration, has its confidence
and can WELD greater influence at WASH

party, even supposing the latter to DOS

hon for useful Congressional represent
alive, and aside from the other adyant-
age mentioned, is the best man of the

GEN. MILES AND THE APACHEs,

Our dispatches to-day bear out our posi-
ton taken recently on the action of Cen
eral Miles, in effecting the surrender of
Geronimo and his gang of cutthroats, and
prove that General Miles had full discre-
tlonary power in the matter of how the
campaign should be conducted and what
should attend surrender General
Miles states point-blank that even Sheri
dan did not choose to interfere in the man.
ner OF the campaign, and that he CMiles)
conducted 1T solely according to his iudg-
ment This proves all the envious tales
circulated concerning the positive orders
Tor unconditional surrender, to be false;
and worse than that, to have been the
work OF fellow officers, near headouarters
in Washington, who know just enough of
Crooks campaign to be able to post news
paper row and give the men in it very
welcome material for specials to their
papers. The army officers, who in their
dislike of General Miles, in every man.
ner helped to create premature and un-
favorable opinion of his work, will find |
some mighty good reading in the Gen
erals talk with an Albuqurque Democrat
man, while the common horde of civili-
ans who read it will see between the lines
that General of the army has been spit
ted by his own associates for no other
cause than that he was not in favor with
them. The common people, however.
will be glad to learn that the effect Of
the success of General Miles has been to
put fear in the hearts of the remain;no
savages, and to keep them from follow
ing in the footsteps of Geronimo and his
gang. BY the way, this was what the
army was sent to do, and now that il is
what cause exists for m
kind criticism of the methods usedp
Nothing succeeds like success, and Cen
eral Miles and his command are backed ]
by the American people, hence the petty
spites of some of his military associates
can in no manner detract from his laurels.
nor win the people to believe he obtained
MS success by other than honorable
means. q

SILVER Decentralization.

The Winnemucca New SiIUer State
publishes an interesting annual report OF
j. V. McCurdy, Superintendent of the
Paradise Valley mine, located in
Humboldt county. 1t shows that
the total value of the product
of the mine for the year was
1894, 1921, the loss by the reason of the
discount on silver being $92, ,22l.38 The
SaUer State, in commenting upon the
report, says: Z" Well and truly does SEN
ator Sherman, of Ohio, say, much as he
is opposed to the metal, that the silver
question is the greatest OF all political
issues OF the day. Legislation which re-
duces the value of the product of
silver mine, in which large part OF the
proceeds is expended in wages, fully
one-fourth, is to be condemned by every
body who places the material interests of
the State above the success of party.
From the establishment of the United
States Mint in 1892 to the passage of the
Decentralization Act Of 1873, the coinage
of silver was free at the mints, as it ought
to be to-day, and as every Democratic
platform from Massachusetts to Califor-
mia declares it shall be, notwithstanding
the objections of the gold-bugs, the Ad-
ministration and their Republican allies"
Everybody knows that the purchasing
power of a silver dollar is not changed
by the fluctuations in the silver market
and that if the coinage of that metal was
free, the Paradise Valley Mining Com
pany would not have lost $92, ,221 .3S in
the last year by reason of the discount
on silver. Yet though the company ex-
pends directly in California from s. 900
to $4,000 monthly for supplies, the Re- |
publicans of that State eliminate free
coinage resolution from their platform,
and endorse the Representatives from
their State who voted at the last session |
OF Congress against free coinage. by |
renominating them by acclamation.
Mr.. McCurdy believes that the silver
producers of Nevada and adjoining Ter
ritories should evince their disapproval
OF this political action, by Withdrawing
their trade from San Francisco, and he
avows his determination 10 purchase no
machinery or other supplies in that city
that he can purchase elsewhere, if the
party which so wantonly declared against
free coinage is successful at the polls next
month. The superintendents of mining
properties in Utah would do we'll to fol-
low the example of Mr. McCurdy, and to
50 express their determination before the
coming election in that State. There is
no wisdom, principle or policy in support .
ng people who are doing their best to de- /,
'troy one of the principal sources of their
own prosperity. They should be taught '
lesson, and perhaps the loss of the pat
'onage from the silver producing regions =
'f the Pacific Slope will offset the press
Ire from Wall Street, which evidently :
influenced the action of the Republican
convention OF their State. =,

HENRY GEORGE.

Henry George, the ex-editor anC

for Mayor of New York City, and by thai
act placed himself squarely on the public
stage, and subject to criticism as poll.

write his abstruse essays, and take part in
theoretical government, he was not OF
Importance as a political factor, but now
that he has obtained the promise of
the workingmen of New York to give him
control of the affairs of that metropolis.
he will find that the press, on which he
himself was a powerful writer, will
turn Its arrows against his ambitious
desires and, in the language of
the street, edo him up" Every city,
town and hamlet in the United States is
more or less affected by matters in New
York City, and if that great entrepot were
once in the hands of a sl.rewd theorist.
there is no telling what troubles would
result. Such condition of things could
not last long even if made, but the great
danger to the stability of government
threatened by such move should make
every good citizen in that city stop and
think before he gave his vote to it.
Henry George is decidedly a man of
theories, and all of his theories are of
mushroom growth, and he has never been
schooled in any practical matters other
than the publishing of a newspaper with
disastrous results to himself and partners.
He has no knowledge of the wants of such
gigantic community, and nothing in his |
record promises that he could adapt him
sell to the requirements of such posi-
ton. He would work more harm to
labor than to any other interest, in array-
ing against it, for self-protection, the
millions of business men whose bread
and butter depend upon the proper gov
ernment of that, the greatest city in the
Union. George is shrewd enough not to
make any pledges or promises, and if
elected he would be free to follow out his
ideas of government, and no
nan could call him to halt. The Demo-
RAT believes, however, that there are
more than enough solid business men in
New York City to spoil this revolutionary
Ittempt, and teach George that great
communities cannot be governed by men .
those stock in trade is only theory.

his excessive death rate in the Supreme

Attorney General Engle was recently
In Minneapolis and while there unbur-
dened himself to reporter. It appes rs
that he talked freely upon affairs of state
and in the course of his conversation he
gaze out the following:
don't look for the appointment of a
democratic governor until after the
expiration of Governor Pierce's term.
During the last presidential campaign
Governor Pierce, IN the capacity OF
correspondent of the Chicago News,
wrote numerous articles supporting Mr.
Cleveland, and tor this the president is,
Of course, grateful, and besides this,
Governor Pierce takes no action in re-
gard to territorial matters until he has
first received his cue from the president.
know this to be fact, although the
president is anxious to make it appear
that he is unwilling to coerce the COVER
nor IN any way, and is very careful to do
no advising by letter or telegraph, but
the governors frequent pilgfimages to
Washington does away with any neces-
sity for correspondence.
This is rank exposure of the secrets of
the official family and the man who made
it will be charged with ine1ousable
freshness. Though cognizant of the
situation his right to reveal it will hardly
be conceded by the mugwumps whom it
most affects. Mr. Engle, being demo-
crat. may have given out this exposure
with deliberate intent, in the interest OF
his party. which is yet compelled to
harber governor who was appointed by
republican administration, and is
nominally republican, though all the
evidence goes to show that he has placed
himself In the position of an apostate
and seeks to establish himself among
the enemies of the political power which
made him governor. The story as re-
lated by Mr.. Engle is disgraceful one
and will bring to Governor Pierce the
Just condemnation OF both political or.
ganizations.

There is fixed belief in Omaha, the
eastern terminus of the Union Pacific
railroad that that road is seeking an
eastern extension and direct connection
with Chicago. The belief in Omaha is
that ii will extsnd from Council Bluffs,
either by new lins or by the ahsorp-
ton of one CT the already existing lines.
But this is not an imperative result OF
the situation The Union Pacific may
seek an eastward route from any point
on it's line hundred or two hundred s,r
more miles westward from Omaha and
the indications now are that it does not
lose sight of possible diversion of this
nature. The westward movement of the
Chicago d. Northwestern to an ultimate
connection with the Central Pacific will
force the Union Pacific to reach to the
lakes ID self defence and it is not abso-
lutely necessary that it shall start from
!ts eastern terminus. The shortest
direct line Is the most available one and
this can be found far north of Omaha
The coming building seaSon will open
up new and startling developments in
connection with existing and projected
continental lines.

A movement now in progress against
the saloons of Sioux City will probably
result in the triumph CT the law and the
suppression OF places of business which
under the law are unlawful. In several
cases where lDianctions have been issued
against saloons and the orders Of
the court are not complied with
decrees for the abatement of nuisances
have been issued and the parties thereto
Gifted to appear to answer for contempt
of court These decrees further provide
that tho sheriff shall seize ell fixtures
and goods. etc., and close the building
for one year, unless ample bond is given
that the building will not be occupied
for saloon purposea. Executions have
have been issued and served against
twenty-three different parties. IDjunc-
tion proceedings have been instituted
against all the other saloon men in the
city and if compliance herewith is not
forthcoming proceedings in abatement
OF nuisances and for contempt will fol-
low. There are ninety-six cases now
inviting the attention of the court and
the sheriff is moving on them ali. In
Iowa City, where the same process has
been employed, all the saloons and
brewries have been closed and three of
the leading saloon men have been fined
five hundred dollars each

1t is the opinion of Attorney General
Engle. who is jast now profuse with
authoritative expressions, that the in
coming Legislature will he devoted ex-
clusively to the creation of necessary
laws and will give no attention to
matters political. He says "any attempt
at capital removal will be unceremo-
nionsiy smothered early in the session."
MIR. Ensle, fresh from Brown county,
expresses the opinion only of Brown
county, which has adopted conserva-
tive course until it can itself reach for
the capital. Should that opportunity
ever arrive truce will be declared
against conservatism and radicaiism of
selfish variety will ensue. AS all the
members are not from Brown county, it
is probable the capital removal question
will not slumber.

Outcroppings of the tariff sentiment
in the south through the medium OF the
November elections are exhibiting them
selves and they constitute indications
that the solid south is liable to go to
wreck upon the tariff rock. The south,
in its new born progressive condition,
finds that it has domestic industries to
protect and nnless they are protected

Under the free trade policy of the party
of their faith there is danger to these
industries and the south is awakening
to this fact. Free trade and whisky
go hand in hand and against both these
destructive agencies the south is
awakening. It is time 10 admit this
