THIS is the way the Post Falls

time that Kootenai county repub-

lost. Remember, the party will
have no walk-away, and every good

EX-PREsrDENT HAYES figures &C.

Ex-PREsIDENT HAYES figures oc-
casionally at public meetings, and
undoubtedly means well, but is
sometimes, like all others, misrep-
resented. Perhaps he was by the
telegraph the other day, when it re-
ported him saying that he wishes
to see a flag on the top of every
church. In one sense the senti-
ment is good-in another it recalls
some melancholy periods and
events in the connection of church
and state.

j CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-J. V. Farwell, jr., was
emphatic in his denial of the story that the
firm OF ]. V. Farwell g. Co. is crippled or
likely to be by the Potter-Lovell failure.
Such rumors have been in circulation since

Senator Quay and Representative Ken.

WAsH1NGToN, Sept. 5.-Much indignation
exists among republican senators over Rep
resentative kennedys attack upon the SEN
ate as a whole. and Senator Quay in partic-
ular. Several consultations have been held,
but no plan of action has been agreed upon.
MIR. Kennedy's remarks do not appear in
the Congressional Record as yet, the reporter
noting that they 'are withheld for revis-
ion.' Unless they come before the senate
in the Record, or some other authoritive
way it may be that nothing will be done,
Senator Quay knew nothing of the delivery
OF the speech until this morning, and after
his arrival at the senate he conferred
with several OF his colleagues, spend
ing considerable time with Senator
ingalls,. He said to a reporter that
he had not determined what course of ac-
ton to pursue. He had under consideration
the making Of statement under the rule
governing questions OF personal privilege,
but he has not fully decided what to do.

North Dakota's Laws Proving of No Force
or Effect.


BISMARCK. n. D., Sept. 5.-The laws of
North Dakota are of little Importance to
the people. Attorney General Goodwin has
rendered an opinion in which he says GER
tain sections of the elevator law passed and
supported by the most eminent men in the

tax law, and upon that opinion the state
board OF equalization based its action,

members of the board, voting to compromise
with the Northern Pacific railroad on the
rate of taxing their property in this state.
The ''iron-clad'' prohibition law, which
requires two hours in which to read it and
was supposed to be as strong as human
hands could frame it, is relic of history
with no visible power. Orders were issued
over a week ago to close all saloons in the
stale, and these orders were issued by the
attorney general yet there is not a city or
town of 500 inhabitants in the state where
liquor is not openly sold. Judge Rose, of
the Fourth judicial district, holds that
liquor can be sold in original packages.
The game law has been openly violated and
not an attempt made to bring the offenders
to justice. All laws yet brought to a test
have been proven unconstitutional or GER
tain sections annulled.

Manufacturers Combine to Repel the Ag-
gressions of Organized Labor.

PITTsBURG. Sept. Ga number OF the
richest corporations in the country have
formed an alliance against strikes. Among
the members are the Westinghouse SYSTEM
the Yale Lock company, the Colt Arms
company, and four or five other big facto-
ries, and, presumably, the Pullman inter
ests. In the compact it is agreed that in
case strike occurs to enforce unreason-
able demands, whether the strike be
against one or all of the associated fac
tories all work is to cease. The strikers
are to be allowed to remain idle until they
see fit to return to work, and no factory is
to employ any worker who may have left
another factory on a strike. Neither is an
associated factory to seek workers during a
strike from any of the federated works.
The institutions named employ between so,
900 and 60. 900 workers and directly support
from 1000 to 100000 people, exclusive Of
the other interests depending upon earnings
of these people. 1t is claimed by these
manufacturers that the action of their
workers forced the alliance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Gland Commits
sioner Croft has issued to the registers ana
receivers of the land offices a circular re-
leasing from reservation the lands OF the
arid region. 1t calls attention to that por-
ton Of the act approved Aug. 30. 1890 which
ropeals SO much of the act OF Oct. 2. 1885,
as withdrew lands in the arid regions i'll the
United States from entry. occupation and
settlement, with the exception that the
reservoir sites heretofore located or
selected shall remain segregated and
reserved from entry or settlement
until otherwise provided by law,
and reservoir sites hereafter located or So
lected on public lands shall in like manner
be reserved from the date of loca-
ton or selection. The circulars of
Aug. 5, 1850, and Aug. 9 1890, are
rescinded. The entries validated by this
act will be acted upon in regular order and
all patents issued on entries made subse-
qnent to this act and on entries so validated
west of the Tooth meridian will contain a
clause reserving the right-of-way for
bitches and canals constructed by authority
of the United States. Particular attention
is called to that portion OF the law which
restricts The requirement Of title under the
land laws to 800 acres in aggregate. The
circular says:
You will require from all applicants who file
to enter under any of the land laws of the
United States aftidavits showing that since
Aug, 5, 1890. they had not filed upon or entered
under the arid laws. a quantity of land which
would make the tracts applied for more than
800 acres. Or, provided a party should claim,
by virtue of exception as to settler prior to the
act OF Aug. 80, 1890. you will require an AFFIDAVIT
establishing that fact
