Not Very Enthusiastic.

The Salt Lake dailies are great
newspapers, and have welded no ut
tie influence in Idaho affairs, some
times not altogether to our beneht.
The Tribune has been specially ad-
mired for its outspoken and intein-
gent advocacy Of silver coinage, IN
which it has seemed to lead all 9TH
or papers having a circulation in
the state; ). though there have been
times when some of our people
doubted its sincerity, and not with
out reason. But never until its issue
of the 9Th of the present month did
its columns present indubltaole
proof that it does not want silver
coinage unless it can be so managed
as to give the entire credit OF Its
securement to the republican party.
On that day it published the dis
patches informing the country that
a vote had been had in Congress to
set a time for the discussion of the
Bland bill, and that March 22d had
been specially chosen for opening
the discussion. !.
Against this proposition was ar
rayed in determined and angry OPP,
position all of the prominent gold
bug attorneys, in and out of Con-
gress, in the country. The vote
was taken resulting in 191 for to "a
against-an overwhelming victory
for the silver men. 1t was victory.
if not to arouse enthusiasm in the
breasts of free coinage advocates, at
least to inspire pleased comment !;
but to the dismay Of the readers OF
the Herald and Tribune at this
place the dispatch was all they
found to read. Not word editori-
ally-not even in the Tribune
cheered them or the men who had
labored and voted in Congress for
the point gained.
The Tribune, however, makes such
amends as it can by publishing q
long wiLded but exceedingly stupid
diatribe against Cleveland. II is
stupid because the Tribune should
know that Mr.. Cleveland is no
longer living issue, nor even a
"side issue" He is, as the Tribune
admits, an honest man. lie is also
in point Of intellect the equal OF
most of his political contempora-
ries but he 10 honest and his hon
esty has killed him. He is honestly
opposed to silver coinage, and the
we'll known fact that he cannot he
tempered with puts him entirely
out of the presidential race. SO far
as honest advocates of free coinage
are concerned. That he has his adj
mirers who overrate his qualities
need not cause the Tribune great or
unnecessary purturbation OF mind.
as that paper is itself q victim OF
hero-wolship. Less than two weeks
ago it began an editorial with the
bombastic and entirely groundless
statement that "Mr. Blaine is big
man, about the biggest man in the
nation if not in the world Yet
Mr.. Blaine has never done anything,
but make million or two, "that any
| one of 90 per cent of the 100000
voters in the United States could
not have done just as we'll = News
papers which have idols should not
be too rampant in breaking the
idols of their neighbora; and silver
advocates should find room for a
word of encouragement even fo'
political opponents when they gain
point in the common cause.

the summer, and the wall is abso-
lutely necessary.
When this work is completed,
or before if thought necessary, a
farm should be purchased by the
state, near the penitcntiary, and
the produce would go far toward
maintaining the institution, and at
the same time give employment
to the inmates. Then there is yet
a large amount of work that can
be done on the capitol grounds.
There is no emergency that
calls for the proposed action of
the penitentiary board and they
may we'll go slow before they en-
gage in the business of farming
out the labor of convicts to con-
tractors and thereby lower the
wages of every laboring man in
the state. The contract system is
universally recognized as a per
nicious one and is opposed by
every labor organization in the
world.

kind and has won an enormous circu-
lation by giving practical informa-
ton as to salaries paid in different
parts of the country, manner of ex.
aminations, promotions, etc. An H.
lustration showing the teachers and
district clerks of this county will soon
be engraved and appear IN of the

Since 1872 prices have declined
about 100 per cent. The explanation
is found in the fact that the number
of sheep as we'll as the average weight
of fleece has rapidly increased from
year to year in all the countries from
which the London market is supplied.
In 1870 Australia produced l34,O00,0 900
pounds of wool, in 1890, 265, 100000
an increase of nearly 100 per cent.
During the same time the production
of the Argentine Republic went from
167,000,00O to 295, 100000 pounds per
annum, while that of Africa increased
from 100000 900 to 100000 pounds.
Our W production in the meantime
sprang from 1874, 900, 1000 to 27l, 1000, 900.
Would it not be wonderful if prices
did not go down all over the world
under the pressure of this phenomenal
expansion in wool production! And
does not the free traders charge that
American protection is the cause of it
appear silly in the light Of these
facts? The truth is that the Ameri-
can wool industry would have been
ruined during these years of falling
prices in the worlds market were it
not for the protection afforded by our
tariff laws.-NeW York Press.

At the Theater.

Last week the Caroline Gage COM
pany entertained the theater-going
people each evening and gave a matt
nee Saturday afternoon. The house
was we'll filled each night. and all
were pleased with the excellent man.
ner in which the company played.
The company is a very strong one,
and above all other things, the men,
bers are all excellent people. and
made friends of all with whom they
came in contact. Kent Thomas, the
business manager, has a happy faculty
of being pleasant under all circum-
stances. and II has only to meet him
to admire his good nature and the
pleasant gentleman. we are all pain
fully aware of the ineficiency of our
theater accommodations; but notwith.
standing the great inconvenience to
which a company playing the plays
that were rendered by the Caroline
Gage company, they fulfilled their
parts nobly. Caroline Gage is an ex-
cellent abtress, and we do not think
she has n superior, in the parts she
undertakes. She has q splendid ap-
pearance on the stage; has a fine voice,
and her method of delivery and
GESTURES are easy and graceful. The
other members of the company stand
high in the profession, and are de-
serving of praise. The company
promises to return in the course of q
year; and at that time they will have
a better house in which to play; and
they will meet with good houses here.

IT is the duty of all republicans
to overlook past differences and
to perpetuate true republicanism
rather than dissention. We owe
it to the party if we carry in our
hearts the success of clean repub-
lican principles such as are en-
bodied in the fundamental doc
trine of the party; and to secure
solidity in the party ranks the
work of the coming campaign
must be carried out in unity and
harmony. And these ends can
only be achieved by fairness and
letting a majority rule. Do the
right thing, boys, and the republi-
can party will surmount every
known obsticale in its way and
come off more than victorious.

THE republican meeting at Tay-

THE republican meeting at Tay-
lor, this week, was a move in the
right direction and will be follow
ed up by forming leagues through
out the county. There seems to
be a sincere desire for complete
harmony among the members of
the party which is encouraging,
and the CORY Ratchet of the bloody
faction fights of bygone years will
be buried amid r~ejoicings of all
loyal republicans. No success
will be possible unless this desire
for harmony becomes an accom-
plished fact.

The republican party of North
Dakota cannot afford to NEEDLE
with the question of convict labor.
1t is a knotty problem, one which
has been a perplexing and dis
turbing element in nearly every
state that has taken it up, and the
PRESS does not believe the state
penitentiary board is justified in
advertising for bids for this labor.
SO long as there is good and
wholesome employment around
the penitentiary buildings and
grounds, and the state capital
buildings and grounds which are
not far from the penitentiary, the
PRESS thinks it unwise to bring
our convict labor into COMPETE
ton with other labor and labor
organizations.
Editor Packard of the Mandan
Times, is thoroughly acquainted
with the situation of our state
penitentiary, having been a men,
Der of the board and what he says
can be taken as good authority.
He says, March 9Th:
1t has been announced that the
state penitentiary board intends
to advertise for bids for the labor
of the eonvicts in the Bismarck
penitentiary. The Times wishes
to protest against any such action
being taken on the ground that it
IS at present wholly unnecessary
and until it becomes so their labor
should not be placed in competi-
ton with that of respectable men.
There is plenty of labor for the
convicts for a long time to come
about the penitentiary itself. The
prison yard is at present surround
ed with a Temporary fence built OF
pianks. which has now stood for
seven years and is unsafe. Beside
the yard is only about one half as
large as it should be. A new en-.
closure should be made and il
should be surrounded with a sub.
stantial stone wall at least sixteer
feet high. This wall could bt
built of boulders taken from the
ridges in the vicinity of the prison
and which could be had for al
most nothing. The labor would
all be done by the eonvicts ane
give employment to all whose ser
vices are not needed about tn
prison building for two or thre,
years. The work of getting GU
and breaking the stone could e

LOUIS A. DODGE has been hav-
ing trouble as general appraiser
in the Boston house of custom.
The Boston Journal thinks that
Dodge has encroached on Col
lector Boards grounds, and says
that the merchants of Boston look
upon it as an arbitrary exercise of
official power. Two and three
years ago Mr.. Dodge was coloniz-
ing this part of the west and pro-
jecting railroads-on paper. Sub
sequently he went down to Wash
ington and was pleased to style
himself "a hustler from North

Republican Organization.

Pursuant to the call published in
the PRESS last week, for a meeting to
organize Il republican league in Stark
county, a number of representatives
from Richardton, Taylor, Gladstone
and Dickinson, met in the school
house at Taylor Thursday afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by
G. j. DeFrance, member of the re-
publican county committee. j. X.
Slack was elected chairman and w.
w. Brooklngs secretary. The advisa-
bility of organizing leagues in every
town in the county was discussed and
unanimously agreed upon, and the
Taylor league was started by electing
j. NJ. Tracey temporary president,
and A. b. Berry temporary secretary,
to call another meeting for that pre-
cinct. 1t was afterward voted to
have that meeting the 26th of March.
After a full expression of views and
opinions looking to the early organi-
cation of the grand old party in the
county, the meeting adjourned, and it
is hoped that the good work then
begun will be kept up until the repub-
lican ranks will be so thoroughly pre-
pared for the coming fight that defeat
will be impossible, and victory will
perch upon the banner of the local
subdivision of that glorious party
under whose administration the nation
has seen its most prosperous years,
and upon whose continuance in power
depends the commercial and financial
stability of the country.

Mentioned as Possible Arbitrators in

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 11.-A report
Is current here that the members Of the
congressional committee which will be-
gin an investigation of the trouble be-
tween the Carnegie company and their
men, will, in their individual capacity,
suggest arbitration, and that canvass
Of men who would be eligible has re-
suited in the talk of selecting James g.
Blaine, Major Mckinley and Governor
Pattison. Governor Mckinley is named
to represent the protection interest and
Governor Pattison for the other side,
There is some doubt as to the accent
ability of Mr.. Blaine, as he Is known to
be close friend of Andrew Carnegie.
1t is also doubtful If he would accept.
The mill men say that they will not
listen to any proposition in favor of
submitting matters in dispute to arbi-
tration until Mr.. Frick OF some one
higher in authority retracts the ulti-
matum issued by Mr.. Frick that no
union workmen would ever In future be
employed in the mills. The workmen
are also averse to submitting their
troubles to arbitration by strangers to
them. They hold that II there is any
disposition to make a settlement the
agents of the company can confer with
their representatives and basis Of
agreement found if one is possible. They
are satisfied that tho Carnegie people
want no settlement other than the com
plete dissolution of the Amalgamated
Association and the opportunity TO deal
with the men as individuals. The men
declare they will starve rather than
submit to the latter alternative.
