A RACE CONFLICT.

The whole of life is race conflict.
Europe is q vast military camp wherein
races are waiting for an opportunity to
get at each others throat. We of America
are not an exception to this general law Of
nature. Separated by oceans from the
great powers Of the world, we have never
theess continued to do about as much
fighting as the circumstances of the situa-
tion would allow. We have had war
with Canada, war with Mexico, and q
war among ourselves, all in century.

AN ADDITIONAL ANSWER.

Some time siuce, letter was re-
ceived at THE REVIEW Office enquir-
ing whether the present administra-
ton had purchased supply of army
blankets from England, and stating
that the local democracy denied the
allegation and "defed the alligator"
We replied, at the tim c,that the
charge was true.
We are now able to give the bids:
Bid for American blankets..... ..........$5l20
Bid for English blankets ................. 1904

ing correct literary taste.
1t is common to hear such expressions
as; shakespeare is too deep fer me-" or
81 never could understand Tennyson."
The simple truth is, that Shakespeare,
and, perhaps in little less degree Ten
nyson. are as easily understood as the cur
rent magazine and newspaper literature
of the day.
One can as easily cultivate taste for
good English as for bad.
The whole thing is merely question of
habit. ANY boy IL years old who will
spend as much time trying to understand
one Of Walter Scott's charming "Tales of a
Grandfather" as he spends in trying to
learn how to smoke cigar, will be re-
warded by a much quicker and peasanter
success in the former than in the latter
undertaking.
Parents should see to it that their chill
dren cultivate a proper literary taste.
Books are not only delightful companions
of youth, but are often the only solace of
old age.

JUDGE BUCK ACCEPTS.

Judge Norman Buck, who was nomi
mated by the mass-convention of North
Idaho annexationists. has consented to
make the fight for the people, on the basis
of having annexation determined by a vote
of the people.
Judge Buck Is well known to the voters
OF Idaho.
His career as a Union soldier is summed
up in sentence.
He served four years in the army, with
out furlough, never missing q single
duty or being absent from the ranks sim
gle day.
His claim to Idaho citizenship is based
upon the fact that he has lived in that Ter
ritory for ten years, and of all the men
who came out with Federal commission
in their pockets, he is probably the only
one who has taken root among the people,
the only one who is farmer, owning as he
does, three hundred and twenty acres of
land in the county of Nez Perces; one
half of which he bought under the pre-.
emption law, and the other he acquired by
residence, under the soldiers homestead
act.
His career as Federal official can be
summed up in a sentence.
After serving one term as United States
district attorney, and two terms as United
States district Judge, he retired to private
life poor mar. Not dollar of any man 8
money ever stuck to his palms.
The estimation in which his neighbors
hold him, their appreciation of his kind,
useful and upright life, will be attested by
their ballots on election day.
Such is the man for whom the friends of
lead aud the friends Of annexation have
decided to vote to represent them in the
next congress.
This separate annexation movement has
been forced upon the people of North
Idaho by the politicians.
The people of North Idaho were ready
to accept the Stewart bill as settlement
of the whole matter.
The Stewart bill provides for submitting
the question of annexation to vote Of the
people. Had ii become law, annexation
would have become non.political issue,
and the republicans of North Idaho would
have voted for Dubois, and the democrats
for Hawley, while both would have voted
for annexation. The politicians of South
Idaho and few office-holders and place
hunters in North Idaho would not permit
the issue to be taken out Of politics, they
would not allow the Stewart bill to become
a law, they determined that North Idaho
should not be permitted to vote on this
question. They met in convention in
South Idaho and nominated two avowed
Southern Idaho anti-annexationist for
congress. and put .anti-annexation planks
in their platforms; thus declaring to the
people of North Idaho: "We will make this
annexation question political issue, but
we will so manage it that, however, or for
whoever you vote, you are voting against
annexation" Such trickery may do for the
ward politics of eastern cities, but it won t
go down the throats of the free men of
this section. The people of N orth Idaho
have accepted the issue forced on them,
and will vote for the man who represents
their side of that issue.
The platform upon which he runs is
simple and direct. 1t favors annexation
and vote of the people of North Idaho
upon that issue, and protection for lead.
There is no mistaking the candidate or
the issue.

PROTECTION AND THE BLAIR BILL.


1t will be a long time before the
principle of protection takes root az
firmly in the South as it has in the
North.
The reason Ia obvious.
In the South the people are divided
into two classes, those who govern and
those who are governed. The govern
ing class, small in numbers, consists
exclusively Of men who make politics
q study and a business. There are
generally three or four such men in
each county, whose word in matters
political, is imposed upon an ignorant
and poverty stricken people as "the
law and the gospel" The masses,
whose wits have been sharpened by
neither books, nor travel, nor observa-
tion, who have followed the plough
from youth to old age, are incapable
of grasping the responsibilities Of cit
izenship or Of using the elective fran
chise in way to better their condi'
ion. They vote, for the most part,
as they are told to vote, or are fright
ened into voting by appeals to race
prejudice, or are bulldozed into voting
by social, religious and financial ostra-
cism.
The governing class favors free
trade. Free trade, with them, means
cheap wages for the laborer, as a
means Of keeping him in position of
dependence.
You never hear OF q strike at the
South. Strikes occur only where the
people do their own thinking.
The independence and intelligence
of the present generation OF voters, at
the North, is due to the wise system OF
free schools that prevail rywhere,
while at the South, prior to the war,
a "gentleman's son" was not per-
mitted 70 60 to free school; he gen.
orally enjoyed the supposed advant-
ages OF u private tutor, or the exclusive
training Of costly "select school,"
The term, "a free school boy" was
employed by the sons OF the rich to
indicate their contempt for their less
companions.
The opposition to the Blair bill,
which passed the senate but failed in
the house, was Southern opposition.
The bill provided for the expenditure
of seventy millions OF dollars, for pop
ular education, to be distributed on
the basis OF illiteracy, and would have
been, had it become a law, long step
toward securing the intellectual free
dom of the Southern masses.
The old feeling of hostility to "free
schools" has disap peared to some ex-
lent, notably in the progressive man.
towns, like Roanoke, Va,
Durham, N. O.. and Admission, Ala,
Ind it is striking coincidence that
wherever the doctrine of protection
,akes root, free schools find abundant
advocacy. Protection and intelligence
90 hand in hand. II is safe to say
hat nothing would 80 advance the
cause of protection at the South as
.he passage of the Blair bill. One of
she results of education is to create
wants, and the more wants person
mas the more production there must
be to satisfy them; thus a diversified
ion Of pursuits and the building up of
new industries follow, and new indus.
