There were two republicans and

although the republican politicians
hereabouts made desperate pull
to have n republican appointed
to the vacancy, Messrs Meyer and
Riebold decided that as d demo-

Office a democrat was entitled to
hold it down. This may not be
good politics, but it suits the ideas
of the great mass of the people
who are not politicians and who
believe in fair play.

The GrOsUth of Deucer. .

AS 1898 is drawing to close our
thoughts run back to what our lit
tie city was a year ago, and we
cannot help noting that instead of
one small grocery we now have two
full stocks of general merchandise,
an excellent drug store, an exclu-
sive stock ofgents furnishing goods,
and the neatest post-oflice in the
west. Our school has more than
doubled and now comprises two
grades instead ofone. And last but
not least, our water service and
storage facilities have been extend
ed until the supply is ample both
for domestic use and stock purpo-
ses, including general supply for
the travelling public.
In addition to the above, and in
the way of buildings we have done
as well if not better than any town
in northern Idaho, and here is the
list:

Total, $33,7OO
The Town company, assisted by
the citizens, expended $4,000 on
the Denver Race Course last sea-
son, which is only a starter towards
the Improvements that will be made
the coming season. The Denver
school district has also voted to
build $4,000 school house. Ne
gotiations are also pending where
by our farmers may be enabled to
have their grists ground nearer
home. The Episcopal people are
contemplating erecting a chapel in
the spring. Brick has already been
contracted for to erect a double
two-story business block.
c. II. Matthews is arranging to
burn a large kiln of brick as soon
as the weather will permit.
j. S. Parker is arranging to open
a furniture and hardware store by
April /, 1894.

RhOades and others intend erect
ing residences after New Years
We have therefore no reason to
feel displeased at our record for the
last year, nor to complain of the
outlook for the future growth of
our infant city; we need but to
continue our present ratio of in
crease for short period and before
we are aware we will need assume
the airs common to metropolitan
cities, and Denver, Idaho, will
stand as rival to her Colorado
namesake for the hand of CONNER
cial affluence. j. A. SEELEy.

GERMANY.
DISCUSSION IN THE REIcHsrAa.

DISCUSSION IN THE REICHSTAG.
BERLIN, Feb. 28.-The question of
international arbitration came up in
the Reichstag today through the
question asked by DR.. Barth, leader
of the. .Freisinnigo party, who desirou
to know if the government would join
the governments of Great Britain and
the United States in the effort to estab-
lish arbitration as method of settlin
international disputes. Freiherr Mar.
shall Biieberstein, minister of foreign
affairs, replied that the imperial gov
ernment was entirely willing to accept
arbitration in special cases.
Herr Bebel, a social Democrat, sug.
gested that the future nationality of
Alsaace. Lorraine should be submit.
ted to international arbitration. This
suggestion brought Won Caprivi to
his feet. The chancellor declared
that if that question was submitted to
arbitration and the arbitrators decid-
ed that Germany should surrender AL
saace-L Lorraine, the nation would re-
fuse 10 acquiece in the decision
Rather than give up that country
Germany would prefer to shed the
last drop of her blood. The chancel
lor's statement was greeted with pa
triOtic applause.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
RIVAL HOUSE MEET TOGETHER AND
GO TO WORK.
Speaker Douglass Proposed to Pledge the
House to Enact Such Legislation as the
People Demanded, But the
Populists Objected.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 2S.-The popu-
list house in body, except those not
having certificates from the canvass
ing board, and four populists who
were unseated, 54in number, marched
into representative nall this morning.
The procession was headed by the
populist speaker Dunsmore and popu.
list speaker protein Semple, followed
by the popullst sergean at arms Rich +,
carry Ing a United States flag. The
populists were quietly received, speak
or Douglas suppressing any dem ~
stration on the part of the galleries.
The roll was called and all members
holding certificates answered, A few
populists entered protests coming into
the Douglas house but all submitted
to the DEGREES of the court.
Speaker Douglass toek tho floor and
introduced resolution pledging the
house to make all necessary appro-
rriatious, to pass laws providing tor
the election of railroad commissioners
by the people, enlarging their powers
and enforcing their rulings; providing
for mortgage law with reasonable
right of redempti0D; for complete
revision of the general statutes OF the
state; for needed amendments to the
statute relating to assessment and
taxation; for preservation Of the
purity of the ballot; for weekly pay
ment of wages; for an appellate court
judge to be elected by the people, and
tor the apportionment of the state
into congressional districts.
Mr.. Douglas moved to adopt the
resolution under suspension of the
rules. The Populists opposed the
resolution, claiming that il the Doug
lass house had been as industrious as
the Dnnsmore house the matters pro-
vided for in the resolution would now
be ready to send to the senate. If
these measures failed of passage the
blame must rest upon the Republi-
cans. The session would close by
limitation on March A, and there was
only time to pass appropriation bills.
After much discussion the resolution
went over.
The.rest of today was spent in profit
less discussion, most of the speeches
on both sides being of a campaign ma
ture. 1t now seems probable that no
legislation will be effected by the leg
islature beyond the passage of appro-
priation bills. The Populists say they
will stand before the people on the
record made by the Dunsmore house,
and will not AID the Republicans in
passing bills introduced only for Cam
paign material to be used in the elec-
tions of 1894.
The radical measures proposed by
both parties relating to taxation and
assessment, control of insurance and
railway companies and redemption OF
property sold under foreclosure will
not be acted upon this session.

White:aps in Mississippi.

night whitecaps, numbering about
fifty, went to the houses of several
negro laborers and took them out to
the woods, where they were whipped
and instructed to leave the commu-
nifty at once They also went to the
home of a negro preacher and took
him ut for the purpose of hanging
him, but before they reached the spot
selected for the hanging, which was
several miles distant, the prisoner Of.
fected his escape. The negroes and
many planters who employ negro la.
bor say whitecapism is calculated to
drive away cOlpred labor, which If
done will entail heavy loss to pros.

McKINLEY's MISFORTUNE.

tion of the mills takes place the
question of settlement of the

Our late experience at Homestead
has shown very conclusivelv that

land.
We are inclined to believe that n

posed will bring into the market q
class of conservative buyers who have
held aloof awaiting settlement and
should the mills resume work at the
same time, pave the way for good
advance.
One feature, however, has been par
tlcularly noticeable, especially by
comparison with the activity in fu-
lures. Spots actually declined l 1-6
cents, while sales were extremely
small, 500 by factors and $50 to ar.
rive.
The boom has either not frightened
exporters or they have lew contracts

leans expects tomorrow 1000 against
