Consuming Some Economic Questions.

A good many of our readers, on laying
down this paper. will probably think
that it has gone over to the Farmers
Alliance, body and soul. This ia not
the cage, however. AS matter of fact
We rarely air our views on the questions
which enter into national politics. But
at the present time the situation is SO
grave and upon its correct solution such
momentous interests depend, that we
should not be good citizen if we failed
to contribute our version in the effort to
throw light on the subject in controver-
sy. 1t can not be natural condition of
things when a country of such great
natural wealth and resources and with
such an intelligent and enterprising
population as the United States should
be tottering upon the very abyss Of
bankruptcy. There must be a cause for
this state of affairs. The evil can easily
be found by an intelligent searcher after
truth. In fact, the evil has long been
known and its results predicted, but
such is the insane folly of the American
people in blindly voting their party
ticket year after year, regardless of the
interests involved, that they, or rather
their leader, finally bartered their liber.
ties for party supremacy. For thirty
years the national good has been ignored
and system of class and sectional lsgis-
lation has grown up until to-day every
department of this government is part
of monstrous system of machinery or
ganized for the specific purpose Of taking
money from the masses, where it be-
longs, and putting it in the pockets Of
the classes, where it does not belong.
| No mere increase of the currency will
cure the evil, for the effect would be to
still further enrich those who are In
partnership with the government. No.
the machinery itself mnst be abolished.
and the money of the people should be
allowed to stay in the pockets of the
people, where it will fructify in the pro-
motion of enterprises and in the further
creation of individual and national
wealth. We dedicate the thoughts con-
| tanned in to-days paper to the Farmers
Alliance on Camas Prairie, with the
hope that If these thoughts are not
true themselves. they may serve to put
somebody on the track Of getting at
| the truth.

Congressman Street and Free
Coinage.

The Lewiston Teller of February 26
says Representative Sweet has been
heard on the question of free coinage
but unlike his contemporaries from
Idaho he came out strongly against
that measure. He is reported as having
made one of the strongest arguments
against free coinage that has come out
of the west. He introduced a resolu-
ton, the preamble of which sets forth
that certain national banks are refusing
to loan except on contracts payable in
! gold, which tends to discredit the issue
| of currency. The resolution provides
that any national bank attem pting to
| degrade the currency of the country by
demanding other than lawful money
shall forfeit its charter. Mr.. Sweet has
presented new phase of the coinage
question and is riding into popularity
upon the sudden revulsion now being
felt towards that measure"
The Teller is republican, and
may therefore be expected to
justify and excuse the misdeeds
of its party leaders. But we
think Mr. Sweet is far more
apt to take ride upon the
ragged edge of a fence-rail in
to political obscurity, rather
than that ride into popularity
upon the sudden revulsion
now being felt towards free
coinage which our neighbor
affects to believe awaits him.
The alleged 'revulsion' against
free coinage is purely imagi-
nary, and we venture to state
that all the gold standard men
OF both political parties in all
Idaho can be counted on the
fingers Of one hand. The free
coinage movement was never
so strong as now, and the rein
| forcements which are hocking
to its standard are powerful
enough to decree its ultimate
success. AS the stars in their
courses fought against Sisera,
so the forces ofour modern life
contend against legislation and
conditions which favor credit
ors against debtors, lenders "a
gainst borrowers, manufactu-
rers against agriculturists, and
the few against the many.

Twenty-Six Inches of Snow.


Last Saturday afternoon a snow-storm
set in which continued without a mo-
ment's cessation up till daylight on
Monday morning, when twenty-six
inches of new snow covered what re-
mained of the old snow fall. On Sum
day afternoon our neighbor Frank Van
sise, htched up his snow plow and
broke roads all through the principal
streets of the town, but on Monday
morning they were all filled in again,
and he once more acted the part of a
good Samaritan by repeating the per.
formance in front of alm ost every house
in town, which was a great convenience
and led to many blessings being shower
ed upon him.
The storm was of the longest duration
and brought the heaviest fall of snow
ever experienced here since the first
settlement of the country. The oldest
of the old-timers remember nothing
like it,
There was no wind, but Just a steady
uOWniall OF snow without moments q
let up, or without a break in the horizon
from start to finish. 1t concluded about
break of day Monday morning, and
then the sky cleared and the tempera-
ture fell nearly to the zero mark. Mon
day was bright and sunshiny day, but
without warmth enough to melt the
snow, and the night promised to be
very cold, but the sky clouded up and
moderated the temperature. Tuesday
was also bright with the promise of a
chinook in the south west and the night
was not cold, but from present appear
ances there will be good "bobbing" un-
til April. Stock are in excellent con-
dition. and there is plenty of feed, and
the great snowfall is regarded as great
blessing to the country, and all hands
are enjoying it to the utmost. The ladies
in town got up sleigbing party Tues
day, but as there were none of them
able to handle a four horse rig, they had
to have horrid man along, and John
N. Rice was the lucky one

Railroad News.

Lewiston 1eler.
Cheering news is at hand this week
to the effect that the directors of the
Northern Pacific company will imme-
diately resume work on all the extern
sions and complete the work as soon as
possible. This is good news for Lewis
ton and good for Camas Prairie aud
Asotin. Chief Engineer Huson in a
recent interview at Spokane, said that
the Lewiston branch would be COM
pl eted at once and that arrangements
are being made to extend the line from
Lewiston to Camas Prairie. The route
is already located and the branch will
tap one of the finest grazing and agri-
cultural sections of Idaho. The con-
tract for building the branch will un.
doubtedly be let this spring. No OBJ
jec.iye point has been decided upon j..
A line also will be extended from this
city into Asotin county. Lewiston will
be the center of extended and active
work of railroad construction during
the coming year. Orders are expected
any day to begin work on the reser.
walton. The decision of the directors
to push the work is signal for the re-
moval of the distractions now in the
way of its completion. The road will
be in early in the season. The bridge
over the Clearwater at Lapwai forms
the larger part of the work to be com.
pleted but the timbers are being pre-
pared and a large force would soor
complete the work.

 He stated that the death was as plain 8 case as he had ever attended. Par nell died of rheumatic fever.

KINGSTON BANK AFFAIRS.
A Bitter Legal COntes Probable Over tn,
 Selection of Receiver RrodhnnI

KINGSTON, N. Y., Oct. 9.-The as .. .- t1on over the selection of a permanent receiver for the Ulster County Savings Institution continues, and evidence crops out on all sides of a bitter le: T contest.
 Judge Barnard of Poughkeepsie, on ap- plication of Counsellor Van Etten of tEi iS city, on behalf of Mary Proper, a deposi- tor in the insolvent bank, has granted an order to show cause why the appoint ment of N. E. Brodhead should not be set aside, as also that portion of Judge Fursman's order restraining and enjoin- ing all persons from bringing actions or proceedings against the defendant or continuing further proceedings in ac- tions already instituted The order will be argued at the special term here on Saturday.
 It is rumored that Linsen & Vau Buren have withdrawn as counsel for Ostran- der and Trumpbour. As they are out of town the report cannot be verified.
 Mayor John E. Kraft, in an interview, said: 'I did not receive any assistance in my contest for Mayor, either directly or indirectly from the Ulster County In stitution, as stated in the reported con fession of MT. Trumpbour. My oppo- nent Col. McEntee, is personal friend and ally of Gen. Sharpe and one of his staunchest supporters. Therefore it would be folly to expect any support from such a quarter, even if it could be given.
 ''That institution has never been a factor in politics. The trustees have all ways been divided politically and no in situation has ever been made to the con trary. MT. Ostrander is Democrat and MT. Trumpbour a Republican, and they both, as far as know, have al lways been unhampered in their political views. No foundation exists for the story that the influence of the institution was ever used in politics. n

 CORTLAND, N, Y., Oct. 9.-D. H. Bos- worth, a druggist of Marathon, at tempted suicide yesterday afternoon, by swallowing belladona. Emetics were promptly administered by friends, who found Bosworth lying unconscious upon the floor of 8 room off the store. The cause of the act is attributed to domes- tic infelicity.
 Bosworth came to Marathon two years ago from Cortland and apparently had been living happily with his wife, At noon, however, Mrs. Bosworth found a letter in her husbands coat pocket from a we'll known woman of the village. She went directly to the store and denounced her husband in unmeasured terms, where upon he at once went into the back room and swallowed the poison.
 Bosworth's people are prominent in Cortland county and are active church people. It is said that Bosworth was mixed up in a similar affair last spring, but the matter was hushed up. Bos- worth is ill a critical condition.
