day in Denver new party was pro-
posed, to advocate free coinage and
denounce government ownership of
railroads. 1t balks its object on the
start by lacking on the last half of
the platform 1--WE believe in govern
ment control of railroads, with all
government employees DISTINGUISHED,
but hold that as nothing compared
with free coinage and would see it
relegated to obscurity until the nation
is given sound, honest and equita-
BILE money!. Thus, right on the start,
a barrier is put up between those who
differ on the railroad question. The
silver question is acknowledged to be
the greatest and most vital. Silver
men have but one thing to do-drop
all but that upon which they agree
and fight out and win the battle.
Other differences can be settled after
ward. AS long as we continue in
this chaotic state of dissension on
minor matters the gold bugs can
laugh at our howl This is not a
case of "when rogues fall out honest
men get their Dues" but condition
of when honest men differ rogues
continue to steal them blind.

A GROWING DANGER.

We publish today an article good
and sound on the water question. We
endorse the article in full. We have
been thinking considerable of late on
the question and we honestly believe
that therein hangs a cloud which is
rising on the horison and threatens
the welfare and development of the
arid region of Idaho. If any man of
good intelligence will divest himself
of all prejudices in either direction
and study the matter from the stand
point of equity and reason, we think
he will agree with the facts set forth.
The trend of the danger lies in the
localities where the big canals of
Idaho are situated. There are none
of them, perhaps, that are now even
making interest on the investment, but
rumors indicate that they are playing
for huge stakes in the future. We
hear that the large canal companies
in Ada, Canyon and other counties
are 6evising ways and means, which
we know but little of, to place the
perpetuality of their institutions be-
You'd the reach of legislative power,
before it sits again, through perpetual
contracts, colonization and otherwise,
that will put lands under them in
their perpetual power and build up a
kind of tenantry system, lasting and
in its effects to the state, but
which to them will bring a harvest of
rentals.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1893-09-07

satisfaction of all, we hope. AS the
populists all went in favor of silver,
their policy is settled, as far as their
present fighting weight is concern
ed. The Democrats were more di-
vided, but still there were 5 majority
in favor of repudiating the national
platform of last fall, and as the ma
jority rules we have got to accept its
policy as the policy of the party.
The Democrats, however, have shown
themselves to be far, far greater
friends of silver than the republicans,
and if the man at the head had been
silver man we believe the party would
have shown its true policy to be that of
free coinage. With the gold bug there,
it can be seen easily by politicians
how the majority sentiment for silver
might have been brought to goldism
by the pressure we know has been
used. A man owes his election to
the influence of friends who expect
him to obtain a part of the fourth
coming patronage for them, and he
knows he cannot obtain it unless he
votes with the views of the admins
tration, and that if he opposes it his
friends are left, and will look upon
him as a traitor to their interests. He
is in a quandary which will bring a
man with weak will to vote against
his silver convictions for the sake of
his political friends We do not ex-
cuse him, and his friends are worse
for asking it, This may have made
the democrat gold majority a false
one, but we must accept it. The
more honor to those democrats who
did stand up in the face of that and
stay by their convictions. The re-
publicans had no such pressure to
contend against and could have car
ried the day for silver had they OPP
posed the democratic majority-but
they didn't.

Reese Davis is never caught with
out a ready reply in any emergency,
and when someone recently challenged
the politics of his paper, he settled
them with the following reply, the
broadness of which bellies its length:
"The Tribune's politics have been
called in question. 1t is gratifying
to know that we are as good demo-
crat as Bland, as good populist as
PETER and as good republican as
Governor Mcconnell. Fire away
you can't wound us without shooting
the head off Of bigger game.

Last Monday in the senate when
Cullom was speaking in favor of re-
peal, Mitchell, of Oregon, asked him
what was to become of the forty or
fifty millions of ounces in the treas
ury. Cullom replied that he "sup-
posed the party in power would de-
wise proper and wise measures to meet
the situation. Indeed We have
no doubt that the next play of Eng
land after total demonstration will be
to offer to buy all the silver bullion it
has, and our government will accept
and-then we'll see new deal of the
financial cards.

RETROSPEOTION.

Gratis lis, Republicans Ill total, 226.
1t appears, therefore, that if the Re-
publicans had refrained from voting
altogether, the anti-silver Democrats
would have beaten both silver Demo-
Gratis and Populists. As the Repub-
licans went almost solid against silver

Gladstone, the grand old man Out

umphed in the English House of
Commons. His home rule bill has

her. But we seriously doubt the
ability of Erin's Isle to govern her

governing itself without English aid,

Hoarding Gold Certificates.

1t is singular how the average way
faring man and woman regards the gold
problem. Only few days ago 1 met q
man who is moderately well to do, and
who has come to the conclusion that the
country is in a very bad way and that
gold will soon be at q very substantial
premium. Acting on this idea he has
been for some years accumulating and
boarding gold bills. Every time he has
received payment in currency he has
sorted it out carefully, preserving all
those bills payable in gold and passing
away those calling for silver or not spec
flying any kind of coin. He had quite a
large box full of gold bills in his safe,
and he told me their aggregate value was
about 500, and that he had been collect
ing them for over eight years.

tanned in the way Of interest and what q
serious thing it would be for the country
If all business men withdrew money
from circulation in that way. He lis
tened courteously, but with an incred-
ulous smile, and it has occurred to me
that it is more than possible that many
thousands Of dollars, if not millions, are
being boarded in this distinctly unsatis-
factory and improbable manner.-St.

csmstitationsi pfotisions which Afe oivn'-
~ and Mast Bs changed soon.
The struggie IN Belgium for a popular
government is far from being ended. The
legislative chambers have only revised ~
yst one clause w the cons,itution-that
referring to the right Of suffrage. How
much need there was for an extension OF
the electoral franchise will appear from
The following exhibit of the number OF
voters IN proportion 10 population In the
United States and 10 Of the parliamen-
tary states In Europe;

sweden-one voter IN every 1900 Of popula-
tion.
Hungary One voter in about is of population,
Begium-On voter In every $50 OF popula-
ton.
Some of the provisions respecting the
extension of the electoral franchise ap-
pear very strange to an American. One
vote Is to be gwen to every male Belgian
citizen who Is 25 years old and has re-
sided in a commune for one year. Bel
gian male citizens who are 35 years old,
have family and pay property tax Of
at least 81 are to have two votes. Such
Of these persons as own land or govern
ment stock realizing at least 800 year
are to have three votes. Four votes are
given to those who have taken-a univer-
sity degree, but then, by q provision In
consistent with this, no one can cast
more than three votes at any one cleo
ton. 1t is not very likely that such
complex provisions will continue very
long. Then, too, by another provision
voting is to be compulsory on the part
Of those to whom the electoral franchise
has been given. We doubt whether this
provision will last very long, and if it
should it will be difficult to enforce it.
Other proposed provisions seem very
grotesque. 1t is proposed that minori-
ties shall be represented, and also that
the senate shall be divided into groups,
respectively representing various inter
ests, such as industry, science, art, etc.
When these subjects shall have been
disposed Of, there will be general elec-
ton. And it requires no prophet to fore
tell that then there will begin fresh
agitation for universal suffrage. The
masses in Belgium will certainly not be
satisfied with such crumbs Of conces-
sions and such clumsy, complicated ar
rangements as the proposed new polit-
ical constitution will contain.-Cathohc

are expected this evening.

hold camp meetings. They expect to
have a camp meeting sometime in Sep
