The People OF Ketchum.
Idaho Statesman.

1u8IlO CCAtcSMAA.
Those who were at Ketchum dur
ing the past week are unanimously
of the opinion that the people o.
that place constitute the most hos
pitable community on the face Of
the earth. This may sound like an
extravagant statement, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if there is another
town anywhere that could match
the record made by the people Of
Ketchum on the occasion of the re-
cent conventions. The manner in
which visitors were entertained is
more remarkable by reason of the
fact that the business Of the beauti-
full mountain town has been seri-
ously crippled by the paralysis of
the mining industry.
It was particularly toward the
members Of the press that this spirit
of boundless hospitality was pri-
marily manifested, though those
who went solely as delegates to the
silver convention we're beneficiaries
of it and are equally enthusiastic in
admiration of those people. Visitors
were not only formally welcomed,
they were made to feel that the well
come came from the heart and that
the hospitality extended gave those
who dispensed it as much pleasure
as those upon whom it was be-
slowed.
When Mr.. Lewis on behalf of the
people of Ketchum, invited the
press association to hold it's annual
meeting in their town, he stated
that the members of the press would
be entertained to the extent of the
ability of those whom he represent
ed but none realized what such
an assurance meant coming from
the citizens of that place. 1t is not
necessary, nor would it, perhaps, be
to enumerate the mani
fold forms in which Ketchum's hos
pitality displayed itself. Suffice it
to say that an impression was made
upon those who shared it that can
never be effaced. 1t was overflow
ing and unbounded; it was not
confined to material things, but was
enriched with all that is transmitted
from face to face as the outpouring
of noble generous hearts.
The character of the reception
and entertainment extended to their
visitors by the people of Ketchum
cannot be described in print; the
pen cannot outline it; words can.
not be found in which to paint it.
1t was one of those things that can
only be felt, language being made
quate to convey any idea of it.
In so far as it may assume to
the press of the state, the
desires thus to acknowl-
edge the obligation under which the
ne wspaper men have been placed !;
and it wishes to add that the crush
ing or crippling of such commu-
nifty by adverse legislation or other
misfortune is an injury both to the
state and to the country. Such a
people is to be priced, and no such
community is to be found outside
of the boundaries of our western
mountains. The enemies Of silver
sheer at silver miners, but if they
could be brought into contact with
the people of a place like Ketchum
they would presently feel that it
would be better to blot out entire
counties elsewhere than to strike
down one such settlement of whole
souled mountaineer5.

Some Booms VIII Die Adjoining

The following is a correspond
ence written from Ketchum on the
23d inst, by Editor Bert Venable, to
his paper, the Payette Independent
Politics came near wrecking the
state silver convention. Personal
ambition of some of the delegates
and extreme partisanship were at
the bottom of an unseemly wrangle
that marked as we'll as married the
preliminary exercises of the session
Monday.
Representatives of all parties were
invited to participate in the con-
vention and republicans, democrats
and populists responded. But on
the part of some there was a dispo-
sition manifested to make SUI
preme occasion, for wheeling Idaho
into line in movement of vital i'm
portance to the entire intermoun-
tain country, an event for the man.
ufacture of political capital. Some
booms will die ADJOINING as the re-
suit Of this interjection of politics.
The issue was far more satisfac-
tory that an onlooker had right
to anticipate. Stirring resolutions
were adopted, which are creditable
to the trainers, and will reflect credit
on all who passed upon them.
The address sent out in the name
of the people of Idaho, was in
every sense patriotic document,
yet fearless demand for constitu-
tional rights and a protest against
any experiment as to the relief for
the existing financial stringency.
Our representatives in congress
were called upon to accept no COM
promise but to insist on the long
tried ratio of Is to as the basis
for the free coinage of silver and
gold. Ample reasons were presented
IN augmentation form for the in
sistence of the rights of the silver
miners and of all the people.
1t is 10 be deplored that men
prominent in public life should
have forgotten the duty they owe
to all citizens, in trying to obtrude
their personality and in making the
silver cause a matter of minor i'm
portance to their own interests.
On the other hand it was source
of qualification to find that all the
members of the state press associa-
ton, who assembled here in conven-
ton, were of one mind on the silver
question. By them politics were
ignored. All the members united in
sending a telegram to ''Silver Dick y
Bland, recognizing in him fearless
and faithful champion of Western
interests on the floor of congress.

pleasure Of meeting with the repre-,
sentatives Of the press Of Idaho. |

circumstances ready to make any
sacrifices and to sink personal and
political opinions and prejudices
for the advancement of the interests
Of Idaho and all sections Of the
state.

Rathdrun Post: The silver men
of the West should not swerve one
inch. They should stand firm for
the white metal, the success of
which means so much for our peo-
pie. There should be no cornpro-
mise. Better suffer defeat than to
give one iota to the shylocks of
Wall streets and Europe, who have
drained our cup of prosperity to
the dregs Of starvation. The fight
is on. let it be to a finish. The West
is an empire within itself. Let US
fight for it, let US die for it, if neces-
sary but let us not sacrifice one
principle. The time has come when
we should cease to pay tribute to
foreign countries, and if our repre-
senta,ives in congress do not stand
by the wishes of our people, as
promulgated and set forth by the
masses assembled at every cross
road school house in this vast do
main. they should be burned in eth
~ at every flag in the country.
