The new steam barge Albemarle,
whose attempted launch from Enoch
Moores shipyard on last Thursday was a
failure, was successfully launched at
2 40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
failure to launch the barge at the first
attempt was due to the melting Of the
tallow on the ways, and consequent
friction between the ways and the barge.

ton yesterday and the Albemarie pulled
of easily A lunch was afterward served

ter is beyond cavil, but that it will
pass is by no means certain; for
its passage will meet with the stren-
uous opposition of the representa-
tives of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Eng
land, and will pass in spite Of their
opposition, if at all. Should it pass
the House it will have to run still
more desperate chances in the Sen
ate, only to be vetoed should it, by
any accident, pass that aristocratic,
banking body. Who, then, is en-
thusiastio enough to hope for free
coinage? If any, we are not among
them. Besides, were the issue left
to the vote of this state to determ-
inc its fate, we believe silver would
be sacrificed for the success of the
republican psrty. This we believe,
because that party having absolute
power demonetized silver eighteen
years ago and has continued the
wrong from that day to this, al
though able at any time to have
repealed the infamy; but it has,
Notwithstanding this great wrong,
retained the votes of the men whose
property it has deprecated and
whose labor it has debased.

Only the Bosses Dishonest.

The effort of certain of our rephb-
lican exchanges to minimize the
wrongs of the state officials and at
the same time shirk responsibility
for those wrongs, would be pitiable
were it not contemplate. The Of
Tending officers were elected by the
republican party; they are, there
fore, its agents, and it is a rule Of
law and common sense, as well
known to republican editors as to
other people, Notwithstanding their
pretended ignorance on the subject,
that nations, parties and individu-
ais are responsible for the acts of
their agents, and are so held the
world over, unless the wrongful act
is specifically and timely repudiated
and the resultant wrong righted.
Moreover, silence or any attempt
to cover up or condone the wrong
full act of an agent makes his prin-
cipal responsible for the act and it's
consequences, in the domain both
of morals and law. Therefore, as
about all Of the republican press of
the state has, either by silence, de-
NAL or justification, become spon-
sors for Messrs. Roberts, Pinkham
& Co., the party must be held re-
sponsible for their acts, and the
Malad Enterprise and Post Falls
Post must be regarded as having
been driven to their renunciations
and denunciations of these men and
their misdeeds by personal desires
to serve the honest element in their
party, which, as honorable publish
ers, they could not endorse. They
are neither deserters Of their party
nor traitors to its principles unless,
indeed, those principles are in &C
cord with the acts denounced. If
such are the principles of the repub-
lican party, and if ostracism is to be
the fate of those having the temer-
ity to uphold virtue and anathema-
tie vice in the party, the honest
men in the state may be accurately
counted at the next election by
counting the votes cast against the
republican party; for no honest
man who possesses common sense
will vote to sustain such principles.
These papers have offended against
the republican bosses, but we pre-
dict their endorsement and the final
acceptation of their teachings by
the honest people of the state when
another election comes around, for
we do not believe the people OF
Idaho, however partisan they may
be, are dishonest or will give their
approval to acts that are either
brazenly dishonest or stupidity in
competent.
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1891-11-14

The late elections in the east
were certainly anything but encour-
aging to the republicans. Ohio and
Pennsylvania went republican to
be sure, but this was expected. But
to offset any advantage the party
might hope to derive from this. and
to cool any excess of ardor they
might feel, the democrats carried
Iowa, Massachusetts, New York and
New Jersey, and made very marked
gains in Pennsylvania. This gives
TO the democrats two states-Iowa
and Observation-Disclosures have here
tofors been counted as invincibly
republican, and classes both these
and New York and New Jersey as
certainly democratic states in 1892.
The democrats also made heavy
gains in Virginia and Maryland.
But whether they have secured the
legislature of Iowa we have not
been able to learn, as up to this
writing no official returns have been
published. 1t is certain, though,
that we are approaching radical
change in the political complexion
of the country. and were the demo
cratic party as thoroughly united on
silver coinage as it is on tariff reform
the election of a democratic presi-
dent IN 1892 would be certainty.
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1891-11-14

was assessed against the farmers.
Two-thirds of the wealth of the
whole country was not assessed at
all, while three-fourths of that as.
sessed belonged to the farmers!
OF the 81, 600, 900 people in this
country about 100000 own con-
siderably over half of its wealth.
Silver has been demonetised for
the special purpose of making a
gold dollar buy nearly twice as
much of products. out of which all
of our public debt must be paid, as
it would buy when the debt was
contracted.
The bondholders' bonds have been
corruptly exempted from taxation
by law.
The public highways have been
legislated into private hands.
The coal mines have been gobled
up by corporations, in which con-
gressmen and senators are among
the largest stockholders as they are
in the railroads.
Shipping has been subsidized /;
sugar-makers have been bountied,
enormous tariffs have been levied
for the special benefit of the iron
and steel and cotton goods manu-
facturers and of the coal barons,
and of all other monopolists; and
labor is taxed to pay all of these
bounties and subsidies and tariffs.
Are these things just? Was this
government established to fleece the
many in that manner for the en-
richment of a favored few. Have
our farmers and laborers no griev-
ances to complain of, no wrongs to
right? Are calamity howlers un-
caused? Surely, no fair-minded
man who is at all informed will seek
to belittle class for claiming under
this republican government equal
rights and equal privileges under
the law with all other classes.
