Now that the session Of Congress is
50 near ut haud, 1t is well to agitate
with vigor that some concerted action
be taken by the citizens In regard to
opening the Nex Perez Indian reserva-
ton. The survey and allotment are
practically SO nearly completed that
that obstacle does not stand in the
way. The people Of all this Clearwater
country are interested in the opening
of the reservation. Some Of the hest
lands In the state are locked up here
by the government. 1t might be well
said that the Nex Perez reservation Is
the key to the development Of all the
Clearwater basin. 1t blocks railroad,
by causing endless delays In seeking to
comply with all the regulations neces-
sary. 1t retards Immigration and con-
sequently the development of wealth
and enterprise. Lastly. but by no
means lerst, it locks up the fairest and
most fertile of our broad acres from the
hands Of industry. Thousands Ofacres
Of " fine land Is lies In any state IL
locked up In the Nex Perez reservation,
fallow and unproductive. 1t could
yearly produce millions Of bushels Of
wheat, and feed thousands Of head OF
cattle for the markets. AL Of which
produce would add to the wealth and
development of this section and Of this
city. Senator Mcconnell while In

The national mining congress which
had u session recently at Denver de-
clared almost unanimously in favor Of
free coinage and in their resolutions
urged the political parties to make the
silver question dominant issue in the
next campaign. The resolutions de-
clare further that certificates of the
government, backed dollar for dollar
by gold or silver coin on deposit in the
treasury of the United States, is Il safe
and sound currency and has been APP
proved by the people; that the first
national mining congress Is unalterably
in favor of the principles of bimetal-
ism; that gold and silver, not one to
the exclusion of the other, are money
metals of the constitution; that gold
and silver should have by law equal
rights to be used in all monetary pur'
poses and to that end 1t Is demanded O
the congress of the United States the
enactment of laws by which silver shall
be coined free in all mints equally with

Congress introduced a bill to open the
reservati' II north of Clearwater, but
this is not enough. The whole reser-
walton should he thrown open. The
growth of the country demands
all the broad acres possible, opened to
attract immigration. With the reser-
walton opened, better communications
and better facilities would open to all
points now isolated because of this vast
expanse of vacant lands. 1t Is time
for vigorous concerted action, and the
citizens from all sections should at once
take some steps in the matter.

Senator Mcconnell goes to record
with the following review of the silver
question: III doubt whether anything
will be accomplished on the silver
question during the coming session.
My observation last session led me to
believe that the only true friends of
silver are to be. found west of the Mis-
sissippi river. 1t is true southern dem
ocrats spoke and voted for remonetiz-
alton, but it was too apparent that
they were working for political advan-
tage rather than the general welfare OF
the country. They would not allow a
vote to he taken on the bill which pro-
vided for the free coinage of American
silver, but forced upon the senate In.
stead bill which threw our minis
open for the coinage of all silver which,
might be sent to US from any part OF
the globe. 1t was evidently their Oh
ject to send q bill to the president for
his signature which he would feel in
duty bound to veto, thereby placing
the responsibility on the republican
party. We cannot expect the capital
lists IN the east, through their represen-
tatives, to vote an increase in our cur.
rency, owing to their being such q
limited amount per capita OF money in
circulation. A few wealthy capitalists
in New York and Boston can at any
time lock up q sufficient amount 81
money to produce such stringency al
will compel the 'sshOrts" to realize al
any sacrifice, something which they
do a. regularly as the farmer gathers
his harvest. The immense capital
controlled by few individuals makes
this possible at their option. The PEG
pie, however, will learn this in few
years, and will look to 1t that the SEN
atOrs and members Of the house are
lsuch men rs will represent not the few,

The republicans have started the
presidential campaign by locating the
republican national convention, which
was done by the national committee
last week. A dozen prominent cities,
representive of the east, south and west
contended for the prize, which fell by
lucky fortune to Minneapolis. Cincin-
natl was the second choice of the con-
ventiOn, with New York, San Fran
cisco, Omaha and Chicago scarcely In
the race. The choice of Minneapolis is
just recognition Of the merits of the
west. The admission of the new states
and their consequent rapid growth and
development is making them consid-
cradle factor in national politics, fac
tor, indeed, of such importance as to
demand recognition from the party
leaders. Since the silver question is
assuming such formidable proportions
the west becomes more than ever q
vital force in the next campaign. This
recognition of the claims of the west
will strengthen the party in the north
west. 1t will stimulate the leaders in
the states which have shown them
selves sbaky and uncertain, and great
ly enhance the party's chances for the
coming year. The east and the west
ought. by all means to pull amicably
together next year, for the campaign
issues are balanced equally between
them. Each has an ax to grind-the
west, free coinage, the east high tariff
and the west is to be congratulated
that thus early In the contest It's claim
has been recognized. 1t Is a good omen

AS TO THE SURPLUS.
Future Prosperity Mortgaged by Repub'

Future Prosperity Mortgaged by Repuh'
llcan Legislation.
We should all be sincerely gratified
that the republicans have kept one OF
the campaign pledges which they were
so ready to make. They promised to
reduce the surplus. They have done
more than this by extinguishing it and
leaving balance on the wrong side OF
the books The democratic administra-
ton left surplus in the treasury
of $780, 900, 900. Tne first republic.
an congress in succession has reversed
this and left the country to deal with a
deficit of 10000, ,0OO The republicans
have left their democratic successors
with one of the best'possib!e chances to
teach an object lesson in economy.
This task will not be an easy one, es-
pecially as the retiring congress has
mortgaged the income OF the future,
but it will be met, as every duty OF the
party has been met, and if the time
comes when the party of the people is
called upon to pass over to others the
| responsibilities of Office it is safe to as
sumo that it will be able to show a
solvent treasury and sound credit.
When the history of the congress
| that has now gone out of existence is
considered, one cannot help wondering
that the party which held its majority
did not do more serious and lasting
harm during all the years during which
| they held the undisputed control OF
both branches of congress and were,
as well, represented in the white
house. IT. is an interesting political
study. There was enough for the
democrats to do, in the way of reform,
when Mr.. Cleveland was elected, es-
pecially as the senate was hostile.
What could be done was done and
many things that proved impossible
were attempted by the way of declar-
ing principle. Mr.. Cleveland failed
of reelection because he was too
honest to resort to suhterfuge.
Then the republicans came into pow
er. One would have imagined that
there would have been lesson for
them in the defeat of Blaine, but, no,
there has never been such financial
profigacy; never such political usurpa.
ton, and never such individual corrup
ton rs since their reinstatement. The
party deserves the fate it met at the
polls last November, which will be
emphasized at the polls in the fall OF

How to Grow Fruit.

A novice, anxious to learn fruit
raising, would do we'll to select not
less than four nor mrre than ten acres
of his best corn land 1t ought to be
heavy rather than light, well drained,
on reasonably high, airy land, but not
exposed to sweeping winds. On this
plant apple trees so feet apart. Peach,
plum, pear and cherry trees can be
planted in rows intersecting the above
each way, leaving the completely
PLANTED orchard in rows 25 feet apart.
Or small fruit may be planted instead
between the apples in rows and from
4 to feet apart. Plant but few va
.rieties and only those doing we'll under
similar conditions. Experiment with
no new or wonderful things. Keep to
the beaten paths. Devote this land to
fruit exclusively. Keep all domestic
animals, except poultry, off of it
Manure it every year. Plow it at least
once and cultivate it several times each
year. Allow no grass or grain to be
raised in the orchard except corn while
it is young. Prupe carefully every
year and keep up q vigorous sgh.

RURAL BREViTiES.

SPECULATION is as dangerous to the
farmer as it is to the city man. Get
ting into debt to buy more land or
more implements is generally specula-
tion.
The horse that is given rest regu-
larly on Sunday will soon learn to

fed regularly.
TIE damage done by moles may be
great, but the damage done by the in
sects destroyed by moles may be
greater. No creature should be con-
demned as injurious until it is known
as fact that it does not confer CORE
spondingly as great benefit as the sup
posed injury inflicted.
THE Florida Dispatch says: Every
farmer who is troubled by moles ought
to try a few castor bean plants. We
knew an old gardener who was noted
for raising vegetables who always had
q few dozen of these plants scattered
about his garden for the purpose OF
keeping away moles.
AFTER the Towering season most OF

Facticnrl jealousy Cropping Out in the
Republican Ranks.
There is no lack of the element of
disscnsion in the republican ranks this
season, look where one will. Here in
Massachusetts trouble has long been
brewing: New Yoril's forces arc at log
gcrhealS, anl faction finds abundant
scope in the party's membership
throughout the west.
But the clouds of a far bigger storm
than these local disturbances are loom
ing up on the political horizon. AL
ready the western reserve is darkened,
aud the whole republican sky is likely
soon to be ovcrspread.
Thus carly in the Ohio campaign
long g-repressed icalousies of party fac
ton are beginning to flash out The
growth Of the Blaine sentiment has
angerel Maj. McKinley's supporters
into open revolt against the candidacy
| of the man from Maine.
While the rcciuse at Bar Uarbor was
accounted out of the field the Ohio
campa gners allowed him the title of
Reciprocity Bill without any spoken
protest. But now that the Blaine
boom is Enthusiastically under way,
they hotly aver that Mckinley and
Harrison arc as much entitled to a
share of the reciprocity hurrahing as
the mueh-vaunted secretary of state
himself.
Judge William Lawrence, stanchest
of Mckinlcyitcs, thus vigorously ex-
presses his opinion regarding Blaine
adulation in a letter published by
his permission in the Wauseon Repub-
lican:
I'VE want TO man as candidate for the
| presidency who opposed the Mckinley act, who
| wants reciprocity TO extend 10 free wool, who
| opposed legislation to protect the co.ored reo-
lie Of the south WHO apo,ogized for trusts ana
| is hostile 20 western interests"
This thrust at the Plumed Knight is
all the sharper because no names are
named. Everybody knows who is
meant perfectly we'll.
