LEFT US IN THE SOUP
The Republicans Nominate a
Weak Sectional Ticket.
DEMOCRATS ARE SMILING
The Republican Convention Nominates
a Ticket Without Naming Single
Officer North Of Rathdrum.

The republicans attended to
their funny business at Rathdrum
last Thursday. And very funny
affair it was. Not a single officer
was nominated fran that part of
the county north of Rathdrum,
which will poll over half the votes
of the cocnty. But a nomination
does not mean am election in Koo-
tenai county, 50 there is no partic-
ular need to worry over the mis-
deeds of the republican conclave
that met in Rathdrum on August
4, A. d. 1892.
The first fight was over the ques-
ton of temporary organization.
I'll. M. Jorgens, of Hope, and Mr..
Manning, of Post Falls, We're the
candidates. Jorgens was the man
who did not propose to allow
Bonnner's Ferry her five delegates
G. L. Heitman pulled in with him
on that scheme. But being Rath-
drumite that might be expected Of
him. They say that Jorgens was
Extensively active against every
thing pertaining to Bonner's Ferry
or her delegates. Bat he paid the
penalty for his conduct. Manning
done him up by q ~. Of ~ to A.,
The rangling over temporary
organization took up 50 much time
that the convention took a recess
till s. p. M, after having appointed
committees on credentials, order of
business and resolutions.
At the evening meeting all the
extra delegates that had been elect
ed from the different precincts were
seated, and the noted contest of Mr..
Rosegrant's was settled in that
gentleman's favor. Here again
Jorgens made a show of himself.
Jorgens mistook Mr.. Keat, who was
speaking in behalf of Mr.. Rose
grant, for Mr.. Rosegrant himself.
After Keat had finished speaking.
Jorgens shonted, "Now let us hear
from resident of Idaho"-insinu-
ating that Mr.. Rosegrant was a
nonresident. Mr. Keat retorted:
81 would have you understand, sir,
that | am resident of the state OF
Idaho, and not only that, but | am
citizen of the United States" J"
This silenced the Dutch ponderos-
ity from Hope.
Then came the nomination of
state senator. Fred Burgan, of the
Ceur d'Alene Press was nominated
over Jorgens, Of Hope, by vote Of
eight majority for the former.
For representatives,, E. A. A.
Crane, of Harrison, e. Crockett, of
Rathdrum, and G. r. Raymond, of
Bonner's Ferry were nominated.
First ballot, Crockett, 26; Crane, 26;
Raymond, 26; Daggett, 20. Second
ballot: Crockett, 30; Crane, 27;
Raymond, %; Daggett, 15, Mr..
Raymond was not a candidate Of
his own choice, but our delegation
unanimously agreed to present his
name. 1t had been found that the
other aspirants were not eligible by
reason of the new law requiring
eighteen months residence.
For Sheriff, VIM. Martin, OF
Rathdrum, was nominated. He
received 25 votes to 20 for John
Sterns and four for Judge Hoffman,
both Of Ceur d'alene.
For Probate Judge, a. X. White,

Democrats Attention.

1t is earnestly requested that the
democrats in Bonner's Ferry pre-
cinct and adjoining precincts see
that the proper notices are posted
at once for the holding of primaries
on the Sth inst. In case delegates
can not attend the county conven-
ton at Rathdrum, it is desired that
they send their proxies to the
chairman of the primaries of Bon
ner's Ferry precinct.

The Bebriag sea Question Up FOR Discus
sion by the senators
MAsuINGroN. March 10 The senate
IN executive session Monday spent an
hour In the discussion OF the Bchring
sea question. The matter came before
the senate IN the shape Of message
from the pre-, dent. The president sent
extracts from official reports OF the
Bchring sea commissioners showing
that, contrary to Lord Sal sbury's state
mcnt,. the british commissioner hId
conceded that the seals had diminished
I'M mum her by the hand of man. which.
OF coarse. meant largely through the
acts of the poachcrs IN killing the seals
az sea. The message was laid before
the senate, and Mr. Sherman moved s
reference 10 the committee on foreign
relations But the senators wished 60
hear the extracts inclosed by IN" pres
idcnt, and defeated the motion. The
matter was read in full, and then fol-
lowed debate very similar in char
Actcr to those which occurred last
week. The point OF difference was 60
be seen in the strength shown 10y the
sentiment favorable To the protection
Of the claimed rights OF the United
states in Bchring sea by all of the re-
sources OF the government, pending ar
bitrauon. Short speeches were made
by Senators sherman. Butler and Nor
gan, OF the committee on foreign rcla.
tions, and by Mcssrs. Platt White and
others At their conclusion the papers
were referred to the committee ON tor'
cigh relations.

cordauco with the plans of the miners
federation. which in its manifesto, issued
few days ago. declared that the holi-
day the men proposed 10 take was for
the purpose Of clearing the market OF
the surface coal and for restricting the
output ia order to prevent the masters
from using the low prices as an excuse
for lowering wages.
At ocloek Saturday afternoon the

cashire. Cheshire and Yorkshire stopped
work. and the ponies were removed
from the pit The only men now at
work are the surface men, bumpers,
ven,ilator attendants, etc, whom the
federation has not called out.
Twenty thousand miners In Noting
ham also quit work at noon. when
they came out OF the pits they brought
their tools with them.
The coal stocks in the Bristol district
are already nearly exhausted The
miners there have also stopped work,
and as a result the price of coal has
gone Mp four shillings ton. Many
manufacturers refuse to pay the price
demanded and have closed their fac.
tories In this respect the action of
the miners is working greatly to the
harm of operatives employed in other
industries One Of the results OF the
