THE reason why the Ceur d
Alene Press received the county
printing was that it had in the low
est bid-that and nothing else, un-
less, perhaps, the commissioners
concluded that it was due the public
that the official organ of Kootenai
county should not be blackmail-
ing rag. All talk about there being
a political job in letting the con
tract is but the stopping over Of a
disappointed bump of gall. The
public is getting on to these rene
gade methods of journalism so well
that any attempts to injure Messrs.
Clark and Quarrels from that source
falls flat or simply reacts in their
favor.

LOOKS BRIGHT FOR SILVER
CONTINUED from LIST Page.

States it is difficult at this stage to
estimate.
The probability Of the case is that
while the output of silver has been
tangibly reduced by the fall in its
prices during the past year, the ag-
gregate decrease has been less strik-
ing than if the matter were regulat-
ed solely by that fact, were not affect
ed by the production Of lead and
other metals in which silver plays
the part of by-product.
The demand for silver in con-
nection with Eastern trade is ac-
cordingly the main factor in regu-
lating quotations, itsinhuence being
even more plainly discernible than
when our own purchases Of $4,000,
900 ounces per annum were in pro-
gress. India has closed its minis,
and silver, instead of being available
as a medium Of exchange between
Europe and India, now occupies
the position of a mere article OF
merchandise in the latter country.
1t is true, showed after the minis
were closed an ability to absorb sill
yer which has not yet been fully
explained. The imposition of an
import tax of 8 per cent. by the
Indian government dose not alto
gether explain the marked and sud
den falling off of this demand,
which may, however, be partly as
cribed to the frmness of the Indian
money markets. China and the
East are for the moment at least the
chief absorbers of the white metal
The principal demand, in fact, on
which the recent recovery is based
appears to have come from that
quater. The situation in this re-
: spect is expressed by the London
Statist in the following words;
eve are now rapidly approaching
: the beginning Of the tea season in
China. So little is know of the in
: ternal economy Of China that it is
not possible to say with any GER
tainty whether the harvesting Of
the tea crops leads to a material in
crease in silver circulation of the
e empire. Merchants and bankers
2 who have lived in the treaty ports
e and ought, therefore, to have some
e knowledge on the subject think that
the circulation is very little effected
7 Bat, however that may be, there il
+ no doubt at all that the beginning
y of the export season does lead to q
: strong demand for silver. Already
the preparations for export are be
ginning. 1t is reasonably assumed
It that China will have a great advan
a tage over India in the coming sea
$ son. Roughly, the Indian exchan
It ges are 80 per cent, above the Chin
S ese exchanges, and consequent,
" the mechant in China exporting tel

i Europe about 80 per cent, below

A TERRIBLE BATTLE


Between Anarchists and italian Troops.
Sensational News From Carrara.
ROME, Jan. 16.-The most sensational
news is being wired from Carrara. The
inhabitants are terrified by the sounds
of firing in the hills near Tirano, where
a band of from 900 to 1000 anarchists
are reported to be fighting pitched
battle with force of infantry and gem
darmes sent to hunt them down. 1t is
judged that the loss OF life must have
been great, as the infantry, according
to the reports, has been firing voliey
after volIey at the anarchists. The an
archists are said to have talenup strong
positions behind rocks and other points
OF vantage in the hills and to have made
a desperate resistance to the troops.
but it lie reported they were finally d.
feated and fled leaving a number OF
dead and wounded on the field.

Tie reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
ono dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being q
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
System, thereby destroying the founda-
ton OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature, in do
ing its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Killing onIndustrics.

A Democrat from q hat-malking dis
trict of Connecticut asked Mr.. Wilson
to stifien him up for the Wilson bill
by placing on the free list sweatbands
Tor hats, and Prof. Wilson obliged him
with an amendment to that effect,
The manufacture of sweatbands for
hats is ono of the growing new indus
tries OF this country. We can make
them here as well MS they can be made
abroad, but we do not make them
with the same priced labor, and
SO we cannot make them without tar
if that will protect the industry. If
sweatbands go on the free list the
American wagc-earners who have pro-
duced them will have to look Tor other
employment.
A sweatband is little thing, but
the sum of all the sweatbands in this
country added to all other things big
and little which are doomed to come
under Prof Wilson's knife represents
a terrific cut in the employment of the
