Mr.. Blaine is reported as
saying that it would be the
"wisest stroke of policy for
the republicans in both houses
to unite, as soon as congress
convenes, upon a bill designed
to meet the popular demand
for a reduction of tariff taxa
ton" 1t is evident that tariff
reform has the floor, and that
the republican party is trying
hard to put itself in sympathy
with the movement. In fact,
a good many good republicans
are beginning to believe that
Cleveland was more than half
right when he wrote his cele-
brated message calling atten-
ton to the iniquities and in
capabilities of tariff taxation.

Spokane Falls Review
This seems to be Late season all

and The regular fall stampede and win

has been given that arrangements have

near Florence. Idaho. The usual mys

on occasions of this kind were going on

said that the circumstances and arrange

WINDOWS LEAD ORE DECISION.
Senator Woleott Gives His Opinion OF its
Effect the West.

A dispatch from Denver saws; In view
OF the fact that Colorado is the largest
lead and silver producing state in the
world, and that her citizens are ccnsid-
erably exercised over Secieta VIM
dom's recent lead decision, Senator
Wo!cott was seen to-day aua asked for
his opinion on The decision aud its
effect on the west. He said: "The de.
cision is an unpleasant shock aud sur
prise to the whole mining industry of
the West. Already some of the mines
carrying low ore and heavy in lead have
closed down, and others are following
suit. | saw the Secretary in Washing
ton last month on the subject, and GER
tainly expected a different result, a.
though the lobby in the interest of the
railroads operating in old Mexico was
very strong. l have hopes that congress
will reclify this fragrant wrong, perpe-
trated by the treasury department. In
its general treatment of the west, how
ever, it is on par with the apparent

The case of S. B. Davis VS..
sheriff H. G. Beason, appealed
recently from the district court
of Oneida county, has been ad-
vanced on the calendar of the
supreme court of the United
States and will be heard next
Tuesday. This case involves
the constitutionality of the
Idaho Test Oath, which has
been hanging fire in the courts
for the last four years. A de-
cision on this much vexed
question is earnestly to be
hoped for, as too many good
men are '''going wrong both
ways on the subject.

Colleges were built in soli-
tudes, with no pupils within
a hundred miles. Deserts were
sold for plantations and sage
brush wastes for orange groves.
The boom passed and Kan
sas and California were left
full of bankrupts. Now it is
in Washington, and it's life will
probably be longer there be-
cause Of the greater variety Of
resources possessed by that
state, but the record will be
the same, whether in parched
Kansas and California or in the
more genial climate of Wash
ington. Meantime the seekers
for cheap homes should not
overlook the fact that the very
best quality Of farming lands
on Camas prairie can be pur-
chased at prices ranging from
five dollars to twenty-five dol
lars per acre, the prices being
based upon the natural advan-
tages of the land, the presence
of water, nearness to town and
schools, etc. 1t may be well
enough to keep your eye on
Pasco," if you have money to
speculate i'll paper town-sites,
but for the business of farm
ing Camas prairie offers
more inducements and better
returns on the money invested
than any other locality on this
Pacific slope. In the first
place there is steady and per
manent increase in the value of
the land itself, consequent on
the increase of population, the
general development of the
country, and the certainty of
speedy railroad construction
all around us. Then, too, our
natural advantages are very
great, with our magnificent
forests, our matohless prairies
with their surrounding stock
ranges, our mountains scanned
with a network Of veins Of the
royal metals, the develodment
of which will ensure a high
priced home market for the
products of our agricultural
lands, the certainty Of access
to foreign markets, as well as
the advantages of living in a
country with so genial a eli
mate as we are blessed with,
makes this Camas prairie Of
ours region that would set
on fire the heart OF Kansas,
California or Washington ter
ritory boomer. In this favor
ed land we are not frozen in
winter nor blistered in sum-
mer, nor are we limited to the
cultivation Of half dozen
crops, nor does the severity of
our climate demand the whole
of one half the year
to keep starvation from the
other half. With the solid ad-
vantages Camas prairie has,
what an earthly paradise the
boomers would make it out to
be. But so far their efforts
have been turned to compari-
lively worthless localities,
while those sections which
possess solid advantages and
real merit are utterly ignored.
But that is the nature ofthe
boom. 1t is a Jim Crow, fly
by-night Will o the wisp, and
its foundation is unsubstanti-
ality itself Its philosophy is
activity without results, labor
without reward, speculation
profit and energy with
out recompense.
