spite of Senator Morgan's advice that
it should ignore the President; and
the Senator got but very equivocal
compliment, in the resolutions, But
one county convention IN Alabama
criticised the administration. Several
county conventions in Illinois took
conspicuous pains to compliment the
President. The Louisiana legislature
has just put itself IN line, by electing
Mr.. Cafrey to succeed himself in the
Senate, on the record of holding the
Presidents money views. The fac
tionists are sitting in bad luck. So
far no Democratic State convention
has failed to be something more than
courteous to the head of the national
organization.

JUDGE BEATTY, speaking from the
bench in the United States court room
at Boise this week on the Industrial
army movement, made these pertinent
remarks
"The people made great mistake
in feeding these people and sending
them on to prey upon other commu-
mites. The better and only safe way
was for the people everywhere to re-
fuse them except on condition that
they go back where they belong. No
good citizen should have any sympa-
thy with this movement All should
discourage it, because it will lead only
to disaster to them as well as inter
fering with business and damaging
other laboring men and the interests
Of the whole country"

THAT SECRET MEETING.

The press reporter az Boise had
field day last week. He warmed the
wires with his dispatches to Montana,
Utah and Oregon papers, and, we
take it, to the great metropolitan
dailies Of the eastern cities.
He wired with great deal of gusto
and relish of a secret Democratic
meeting in that city at which the
newly elected chairman, McNab, pre-
sided, and was attended almost, if
not entirely by Boise City and Ada
county Democrats.
The inference that was drawn from
the dispatches flashed so quickly over
the wires was-that it was an official
meeting and that its actions-its reso-
lutions were official and were to be
binding on the Democratic party Of
the State.
The tidal wave that struck the west
coast of South America a few years
ago and lifted steamers from the
waters high up on the rugged heights
of the Andes was not more startling
TO the inhabitants of that country than
these dispatches we're to the Demo
Gratis of the State outside Of Boise.
The NEWS is unwilling to believe
that it was claimed to be an official
or even semi-official meeting by those
present as was intimated 10 the num-
erous dispatches sent out Immediate
ly following its adjournment.
The State Central Committee ofIici-
ally called had just held a meeting at
Nampa and discharged the duties for
which it was called. This committee
represented every county in the State.
it was clothed with authority to act
for the entire Democratic party, and
It's action will be respected and bind.
ing. When the meeting adjourned
the committeeman returned 10 their
respective homes and the press gave
publicity to what it had done. II it
had omitted anything no one, two or
even three members could get to-getl-
er and officially supply the omission.
But the dispatches said the meet
ing was made up Of private members
with perhaps one and possibly two
committeeman all from Boise and Ada
county except the chairman, and that
its action was to revoke Chairman
Tillinghast's endorsement of Mr..
Beane for marshal, and to declare
against fusion with the Populist in
the coming campaign.
Now, it is apparent to everybody
that this action in the one case was as
futile and unnecessary as it was in
the other The Populist committee
IN session in that city not ten days
before had officially declared against
fusion with either Of the old parties,
and how illtimed and useless it was
after that declaration for any meeting
to say: awe, the Democrats, will not
fuse with you" How child-like and
bland: And as to the meeting reyok.

Mr.. AEsoP, the worlds renown
fabler of olden times, tells the story
of Mr.. Fox and the sour grapes
The action of that secret Democratic
meeting at Boise last week, increasing
and resolving not to fuse with the
Populists, recalls to memory that an,
cient and thumb-worn story.
The Populist committee, few days
before this secret meeting, had offici-
ally pronounced against fusion with
either of the old parties, and then for

SENATOR JARVIS, of North Carolina,
listened attentively to Senator Cor
mans speech on the tariff bill, in
which German defended the McKin-
ley style of tariff, and interlarded all
this with much palavar about his own
Democracy. When the Maryland Sen
ator had concluded, Mr.. jarvis turned
to Senator near him and SAID: "Do
you know what Mr.. Germans speech
reminds me Of? Well it seems to me
like the small boy who set the house
on fire and then ran with the engine

Jarvis hit it; the alleged conservatives

THE House committee on election
Of members of Congress has reported
favorably the proposition for election
of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people. The same propo-
sition has been reported in the House
on several occasions within the past
few years, but it never got beyond
that stage, and most people in Wash
ington think it never will II is very
doubtful whether the Senators would
ever consent to a change. Many of
them would prefer to take chances
with a legislature than with the peo-
ple-Anaconda Standard.
But the people would prefer to have
say, and it is right and proper they
should. Eliminate the election of
Senators from legislative bodies, and
more earnest thought and care will be
given to law making.
