"UNCLE, GEORGE HEARST.

He Says that Idaho Is One Of the Best.
Watered and Best.Timbered Regions
In the United States.
In the United States Senate on the
18th instant Mr.. Stewart of Nevada
made speech favoring the admission
OF Washington and the dismember-
ment of Idaho, and spoke disparaging.
ly OF the lands and of Idaho generally.
Senator George Hearst of California
took issue with the distinguished
Senator from Nevada, whereupon the
following colloquy ensued: =
Mr.. Hearst-Are you perfectly ia
miliar with the valleys of Idaho?
Mr.. Stewart have been through
them.
Mr.. Hearst-Does the Senator not
know that around Lewiston is one of
the finest agricultural countries in the
United States?
Mr.. Stewart-Certainly.
Mr.. Hearst-From there up Snake
river there is fine land, and when YOU
get through the canyon there is a val.
ley there about 600 miles long and 40
miles wide that would hold two or
three million of people. 1t has the
finest land in the world. Besides there
are many valleys running up into the
mountains, which are fine agricultural
lands, and that eastern portion does
not need irrigation, as the Senator
we'll knows.
Mr.. Stewart-I should like to ask
the Senator if there is any waste land
in Idaho?
Mr.. Hearst.-There is very little
waste land in Idaho. l should like
the Senator to tell me where there is
much waste land in Idaho. 1t abounds
in rivers with large rich valleys, and
the tops of the mountains are covered
with the finest kind of timber. Take.
:or instance, the Owyhee river, with
valley rs miles long and G or 8 miles
wide, and Bruneau river putting into
Snake river, with valley 20 miles
dong and 5 or miles vide. The
Territory abounds in rivers such as
Snake river, Clearwater, Palouse,
Pend d'Oreille and Kootenai. At the
lower end of these the hills and val
leys are rich, and at the heads of the
valleys there is the finest timber pcs
sible. The mountains, where there
are mountains, are terrible mountains,
but there is no better country for
mining that | know of in the United
States. But that is the toughest
portion Of Idaho. l think itwould
make one of the grandest States in
the Union.
Mr.. Slewart.--I am glad to hear
such an estimate of it. 1t did not oc.
cur to me SO.
Mr.. Hearst.-Certainly there is
very little waste land there.
Mr.. Stewart.-l do not think you
can irrigate at the very outside more
than 10 per cent. of the land. The
other land is pasture land, ranges for
stock. That does not make a State;
it will sustain but a few people; we
have had experience in Nevada of
large stock ranges. You can not
build up State in that way.
Mr.. Hearst The Senator must adj
nit it is one Of the best watered re-
gions in the whole United States.
Jack Gilmore staged over that coun-
try tor 10 years, and he tells me that
the Snake River valley, above the
falls, will carry 100000 of people.
Where that land is not rich it
abounds in the best kinds of timber.
1t is the best timbered portion of the
United States.

THE st. Cloud Times, strangely COIN
cident with the meeting of the democrat
&c bosses in St. Paul, at which it was
decided to scalp Mayor Ames, proceeds
to tear the genial doctor into flinders,
and scatter the fragments to the polite
al winds. Two years ago the Times felt
differently-at least its utterances were
quite in another vein. Something or
somebody has changed radically. It
can't be the Times which has always
been the embodiment of political consist
ency-that is, ALWAYS true to the bosses.
This is what it says now:
There is considerable talk in the state
newspapers as to the democratic candi-
date for the governorship, and especially
with regard to the availability of Dr..
Ames. Two years ago Ames received the
largest majority in this county ever polled
by any party candidate. This was not
due to the doctors popularity, although
he was much stronger then than now.
There were other complications, among
them kick" against McGiN by the
friends of Gov. Gilman, who thus resented
the work of the republican bosses, in the
defeat of our fellow citizen. Anes cannot
poll the same vote here again. Indeed,
his supporters hereabouts were very
much disguised at his utter failure in
! Hennepin county. He had promised a
majority there of 5000 or 5000, and
yet he polled bnt 900 votes more than
McGill. 1t was this failure in his own
county which defeated Ames, and it is
this knowledge that has led many to
think that another candidate should be
selected this year. This demand is very
general among democrats in this locality

SENATOR Buchanan, in recent inter-
view has this to say relative to the con-
gressional nomination in the fifth dis
trict:
Some of my friends have urged me re-
peatedly to make fight, and they think
my chances are excellent. But l don't
want it. I've got my business in good
shape and before the year is over shall
have it just about where want it, and
DO not propose to let any political organ
ization allure me from it. i'll was older
l should probably go in for it. Of course
the fight is between Stearns, Barto, and
Comstock. Otter Tail county will push
Corliss,. but the struggle will be between
those three, think. Who will be sue
cessful is too much of a conundrum for
me to guess. They are all good men and
have hosts of friends.

THE republican party will be untrue to
itself if it permits its party managers to
thrust upon it defensive and apologize
campaign, either state or national. The
principles of the party, clearly stated and
courageously voiced, command respect,
and a vigorous and aggressive fight
which will end in triumphant victory
is not only possible, but well assured
providing the party conventions do not
resort to Juggling with words in framing
platforms which may mean anything and
may mean nothing. A frank, unequivo-
cal avowal of principle, and clean, able,
and fitting nominations will insure sue
cess. This will be bad year for politi-
cal trickery and personal jobbery in con-
ventiOnS

On Saturday an election of two school
directors will be held to succeed presi-
dent Barto and secretary Lamb. Mr.
Barto perenptorily declines reelection
i'll fact he has repeatedly talked of re-
signing, but his fellow directors have per-
suaded him to serve out the term for
which he was elected. He has been an
efficient officer, and the public schools
never have had truer friend and more
efficient promoter. No one has been gen.
orally mentioned for the succession. Mr..
Lamb, the secretary of the board, has
charged his arduous duties with rare
ability, and under no circumstances
should he be permitted to retire at this
time. 1t is true he pleads long service as
al excuse, and the plea is not without
force from his own standpoint, but he is
too public-spirited citizen to decline
position for which he is so eminentlv
qualified.

THE vice-presidential boom for orr

THE vice-presidential boom for our
own DR.. Ames having been frost-bitten
in the tender shoot, the genial mayor of
Minneapolis will be nursed by his faith
full followers for the gubernatorial bios
som. Circumstances, not at all probable
of repetition, brought him in sight of the
governors chair in 1886, and he has
accordingly deceived himself into the be-
lief that he is far greater in public esti-
nation than the facts will warrant. He
will discover sooner or later that it was
not his fitness, but his luck, that ran
him ahead Of his ticket, Or rather with
held votes from the republican candi-
date. Gov. McGill is far stronger now
than then, while DR.. Ames is inmeasur-
ably weaker. The leaders in his own
party do not want him on the ticket,
but itnot infrequently happens that lead
ers fail to lead

THE candidacy of Gov. Barto for the
congressional nomination meets with
favor throughout the district, although
there seems to be dispositions in certain
quarters to present candidates for no
other purpose than to hold votes togeth-
er to await developments, and not with
a view to making bona fde effort to
secure nomination. Such political tactics
do not tend to produce harmonious
action in convention. Suppose, for illus
tration, every county in the district
should present candidate with united
delegation back of him-would it not be
almost certain to engender bitterness?
There are four candidates in the field
seeking the nomination and perhaps as
many more who have not the remotest
hope for it. Of these four none are better
equipped for the position, and none of
them better deserves the honor providing
past services are considered. From one
end of the district to the other the
governor has done heroic party work.
During every campaign he has been called
upon to contribute to the common cause,
and he has never failed to respond, giving
his time and talents to furthering the
interests of the party. In conventions,
in councils and on the platform he has
always cheerfully contributed effective
aid. In view of these facts the party
owes him debt of gratitude which it
now has opportunity to discharge.
