The Campaign Of 1890.

The Chicago News, figuring on the
indications of the political struggle
in this years, concludes an article as
follows:
That this contest is to be largely
fought in the west is made evident
from the tenor Of present discussion.
A convention of the farmers of the
Mississippi valley demands free trade,
that they may be furnished with d
market as open for their purchases as
1t is for their sales The Knights of
Labor have freed themselves from the
domination Of Pennsylvania thought
and will brook no further levy upon
their toll through tax upon those
materials upon which it is to be ex-
pended. The miners of Illinois and
Indiana are longing for an opportunity
TO express their condemnation of a
policy which has made them hewers
of wood and drawers of water for
greedy monopolists. Dwellers in city
and PLAIN have seen the folly of a
policy which is rapidly concentrating
the wealth of the country in the hands
of few. The many are in revolt
against policy which enriches the
few at their expense.

The great barrier to politicians has
been removed by the United States
Supreme courts decision in the Idaho
test oath case and now we hope Gas
STA county politicians, or rather office
seekers, will come out and show their
colors. Cassia has always been plac-
ed in little different boat from the
other counties. Before Judge Berry
decided the registration law a promi-
Lent Republican said his party did
not propose to run an anti-Mormon
ticket because '.as many as twenty
Mormons had told him privately that
they intended to vote the Republican
ticket" The political question in
Cassia county has reached that point
when it demands all parties to frank.
ly and honorably come forward and
show their hands. Many of the Dem.
ocrats have already shown up, not
outstanding the test oath decision
was pending. Now let's all watch and
see, by the actions of our political
friends, whether 1t was sure enough
principle or merely political prln-
ciple that caused certain parties to
take the course that we all know has
been taken in this county.-Cassis

per cent. This was Immediately fol-

alternate for the farmer is to hold his
corn for go or 80 days. If they all
hold their crops for a couple of
months or SO they will have no trouble

NINE HUNDRED RESCUED.
The Men Who Saved the American
Whalenen In 1871 to Be Reimbursed.

Among the private bills recently passed BY
the House Of Representatives is one awarding
u liberal SUN Of mouey towards the losses sus-
tanned by the owners of five whaling ships in
rescuing some nine hundred shipwrecked off,
GERS and men from the frozen regions Of the
Arctic ocean in the year 1871. The owners Of
these whale ships have been before nearly
every Congress for nineteen years. Exon
gresham Grape of the first Massachusetts, dis
trict and ex-Congressman Bowman Of the 9Th
Massachusetts, district introduced bills and did
great deal of work in the matter while they
were In Congress- Mr.. Gambler OF the ninth
Massachusetts, district introduced the bill dur
ring his former term IN Congress and again at
the present session, und has been jndefatigable
in urging the House to give the matter its ut.
tention. The hill was referred to subcom-
mittee of the committee on claims, and Mr..
Smith Of the twentieth Illinois district rs chair
man OF the subcommittee, made an exhaustive
examination of the matter and through his
recommendation u unanimous report was made
In favor OF tho bill. though on figures consid-
erably less than the petitioners claim was the
actual loss to them occasioned by abandoning
their whaling voyages and making the rescue.
The bin il now pending ON the Senate side and
Is in charge OF Senator Hoar, who has intro
duced 1t in at least three Congresses. Senator
Dawes introduced IL in one or more Con-
crosses. 1t 10 said that several OF the owners
of these whale ships became financially en-
barrassed in consequence Of their great losses
in making this rescue. They had these nine
hundred shipwrccked human beings on board
them all in safety. The whale ships were fitted
ont at great expense for q two years cruise.
The rescuing SO large u number Of imperiled
seamen is unparalleled.
