OUR DEAD CHIEF JUSTICE.


A true and noble man has fallen in
Idaho. Chief Justice Jas. b. Hays is
dead. He died at his home in Boise
City, Thursday morn, May 3lst, 1888.
But single day before, Decoration
Day, the patriotic people of the Ter
ritory had paid befitting homage to
the memory of the gallant soldiers
who had fallen in battle for their
country's cause and had strewn their
graves with garlands and wreathes
of richest flowers, and ere those flow
ers had faded or their fragrance had
been waited away they were called
upon TO mourn another who had fall
en- in his country's service-this time
not a soldier in uniform, but civilian
in the ermine of his Office Judge
Hays died in service and it is almost
true ne fell from the Judges stand,
0verwork may not have been the i'm
mediate cause, but, it appears to us,
the remote cause of his death. With
an ambitious spirit stretched for
months to its greatest tension to per
form the labors heaped upon him the
silver cords were loosed-frail nature
yielded, his system gave way,
and he bought with life of the great,
est usefulness a home in the eternal.
When monument is reared to his
memory let their be written in relief
to catch his country's eye far above
the inscription-"Sacred to the Mem
ory" the sad word-0vERwoRK.
Judge Hays came to Idaho three
years ago as a stranger in a strange
land but as acquaintance grew with
rolling years and the people became
to know him well they learned to adj
mire him as a man and respect him as
an honest, upright Judge. He was one
of Natures noblemen and his death
is mourned as a great loss by every
law abiding citizen of the Territory
As a citizen he possessed many
traits that drew friends close about
him. as a patriot he loved his country

The Democrats Continued Mis-
representation.

Two weeks ago the HERALD showed
conclusively that the Democrat mis-
represented the republicans when It
charged them with being In favor Of
free whiskey. Last week it has the
audacity to re-iterate the charge, and
then to make it appear that it is tel
ling the truth, is guilty of garbIing
the platform offense fully as bad
as the former one. The Democrat
says:
The platform declares eve favor the entire re-
peal Of the internal taxes" The Herald in view Of
theses facts, must see il owes US an apology.
We have not miFrepresentedi We have stuck by
the record. Turning to the Chicago platform we
find the following words:
"We fGUOr the entire repeal Of the
Internal tar rather than surrender
any part Of our protective system"
Now that the public may see how
our contemporary has garbled the
statement of the platform we here
with copy the two planks in full, re-
lating to the liquor question:
The Republican party would effect all needed
reduction OF the national revenue by repeating
the taxes on tobacco which are burden to agri-
culture and the tax upon spirits used in the arts
and for mechanical purposes, and by such reVls-
ion of the tariff laws as will tend to check import
Of such articles are produced by our people
the production OF which gives emplOyemenI 10
our labor and release from import duties those
articles OF foreign production except luGnrles,
the like OF which cannot be produced at home.
II there shall still remain larger revenue Lnan
is requisite for the wants OF the government we
favor the entire repeal OF the lnternal taxes
rather than surrender any part OF our excellent
protective system ut the OiEt behest OF the Whlsk
ey trusts and the agents OF foreign manutactur-
efs
The first concern Of all good government is the
virtue and sObrety OF the people and the purity
OF their homes. The Republican party cordially
sympathizes with all wise and well directed ef-
atty.
It may thus be seen how our con-
temporary twists and turns to make
out his case and then fails. On this
subject the New York Tribune says:
The Democratic party has never been known to
vote against the real interests OF whiskey. From
JeffersOn's time until the war it was a free rum
party. 1t stands today behind the saloons IN
every state in the union. fighting high license ana
prohibition TO the death. 1t is the Repu ollcan
/ party that has supported temperance legislation
wherever it has been enacted, and the saloons the
I distilleries and the WhiskeY barOns are leagued
| together to compass its defeat. When the Chlca
go platform declares that protection shall not be
abandoned at the dictation OF the Whlskey trusts
| IL strikes at the combination OF distilers and
''Whiskey kings" who are making great fortunes
every wear through the aid and protection OF the
Internal Revenue system.

The Republican state platform.

The Republican State Platform adopted at To
Peka, uly p. is too lengthy for publication in
full this week. We cOndense il as follows:
II opposes free trade and declares IN favor OF
protecting American Industries denounces the
Wnlskey trust as menacing and all great trusts
as oppressive 70 the people, demands free schools
everywhere so that every child shall acquire q
good education, which IS necessary for the pres
erTatlOu Of free Institutions; expresses sympathy
for the Irish people in their struggle for freedom
against English tyranny; il declares that ReDub-
llcans Of kansas believe i'm the protection Of the
home against the saloon. We demand the com
pleLe execution Of the prOhibitOry laws in every
part OF the State. including vigorous prOsecu-
ton Of officers who fail TO perform their duty un-
der the law well the prosecution of the viO-
lators OF the law. The Republican party of Kan
sae is convinced that prohibition Is right and Is
success and assert that those who seek refuge in
the Ihird or Prohibition party bhndly seeks
reFOluL4On IN cur government Tor InaJ which q
revolution cannot give.
We point with pride to the fact that the laws
OF Kansas protecting the rights and interests OF
wage workers and labOrers are far in advance Of
those of any other State in the Union We
pledge continuance of that policy against all
encrOaChmeuts- The condition of American Ia
bOrers, superior as they are TO those of Europe.
must be not only protected but promoted and ell
eyated. We favor American markets for Ameri-
can products and American wages for tho Ameri-
can working men, and we favor such additional
Legislation viii secure weekly payments OF
wages to employees of municipal and private cor
poratiOns. and also practical apprenticeship law
so our handicrafts men may have additional pro
lection against foreign labor
All sO-Called trusts or supplies combinations to
mOuOpOIlZe LOCu or control productions are dam
gerOus 70 the interests OF the people, ma snOuIu
be prohibited under the severest penalties OF the
law
The Republican party will ever retain a sense
of gratitude TO those through whose valOT Kansas
and the nation became free and the union of our
States preserved.
We request our Railroad Commissioners to DO
all in their power to protect the farmers of the
State against excessive charges in the removal of
the vast crops which are assured to Kansas this
year.
We favor legislation reducing the legal rate of
interest on money to six per cent reducing the
maximum contract rate to ten per cent, the pro
hibItiOn of usury and providing penalties for
/ violations thereof
/ We rejoice in the entrance of women upon
| more extended fields of usefulness, and we be
/ lieve that the honest demands of any class OF
/ citizens for additional rights ought to receive
! respectful consideration.

In the proper place in this paper
may be seen the state ticket placed
in nomination by the Republican
State Convention held at Topeka
July 25th. It is pronounced a strong
one by the leading daily papers.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat speak
ing of the nominee for Governor says:
The Kansas Republicans have nom
mated an exceptionally worthy and
popular man for Governor in the
person Of Hon. L. II. Humphrey.
He began to fit himself for the posi-
ton at the early age of II by enlist
ing in the Union army; and his course
ever since then has been that of a
sound Republican and an honest and
useful citizen. It is safe to predict
that he viii be elected by a majority
Of at least $4,000.
All the other candidates on the
ticket are men Of character and abil-
ity. 1t Is a good ticket.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1888-08-03

The reason stated by the Ultra Pro
hibitionists why they favor the re-
moving of the internal revenue tax,
from alcoholic liquors, is, that as it now
IS the general government is under
obligation to protect the liquor sell
ing business as it must protect the
business It licenses. IF the tax were
removed and the protection with
drawn then the states could deal with
it and prohibit it. Again, It is con
tended that it Is wrong for the gov
eminent to get a revenue from the
sale of liquor as a beverage. Our
readers viii Of course know the differ
ence between an Internal Revenue
tax and a Protective tariff levied on
goods imported into the United States
from foreign countries.
