The republicans in congress, with
a few honorable exceptions, join
the democratic goldbugs in opposi-
lion to the Bland aeigniorage bill,
and all other bills that are calcu-
lated..to benefit silver, and yet the
campaign orators of the 8. o. p.
have the supreme gall to tell the
people that the republican party
favors free coinage. These gentle
men should bear in mind Lincoln's
saying about fooling the people.

How to Treat the Benedtcks,

Ella Wheeler Wilcox advises
women who would retain their hus.
bands love to depart twice year
from home, but warns them not t.
remain away longer than six weeks
that the limited absence of few
Aeeks feeds the heart with new fuel,
and gives each the. opportunity to
miss the others virtues, and con.
done each others faults.
The gifted and versatile writer has
evidently made q scientific study
of connubial love, and knows just
how to keep it at happy temper
allure. Lord Byron, who was ex-
perienced in all affairs of the heart,
once suggested something to the
same effect. Married couples often
tire one another, it is true, by ex-
cess of their own society. Love re-
quires a wholesome degree of sep
aration. If a woman would retain
her husband as lover, it is GER
tainly wise not to inhict him with
an ever abiding presence; let him
feel occasionally the want of her
presence, and he will miss her of.
forts, which contribute so much to
The comfort and pleasure of his
home. Above all things, a woman
should not surfeit her husband with
100 much affection. Men are queer
creatures; they prize most that
which seems a little beyond their
grasp.

John Y. McKane { Boss McKane)

years imprisonment at Sing Sing.
1t is claimed by New York parties
that the first election of Grover

latter offense, if it could be proved,

A week ortwo since tho miners OF
this locality signed : petition very
numerously and forwarded same to
Washington praying for legislation
suspending the annual assessment
work on mines for 1894. In view
of the present deplorable condition
of the mining industry Of the west,
in consequence of pernicious laws
affecting the standard character of
silver, and in view of the many
hardships and disasters which have
been imposed upon the thousands
Of laboring miners, prospectors and
small mine owners whose resources
have disappeared with the suspen-
sion of mining operations and wage
earning opportunities, the act Of
congress waving the necessity of
assessment in 1893 was Godsend
to the west, and it should be fol-
lowed by = similar act applying to
the present year. There are yet no
signs of any recovery from the fear
full blow that has been dealt the
miners, and the wisdom and justice
of such q measure as the petition
from Ketchum asked for will be
admitted by all fair-minded men.
Hon. Geo. J. Lewis has received
the following acknowledgment of
said petition from Senator Shoup:
UNITED STATES SENATE, !
WARRINGTON, D. g., Feb. 81, 1898.
Hon. GEO. ]. LEWIS, Ketchum, Idaho
Dear Sir: have your letter of the 18th
enclosing . petition addressed to Hons.
F. T. Dubois, Willis Sweet and myself.
and signed BY large number of mine
owners, urgiog that law be enacted sus.
the annual assessment work for
1894. recognise the distress brought
about By the repeal of the silver purchas-
ing clause Of the sherman Act, and that We
should do everything possible to tighten
the burdens Of our mine owners. will
therefore exert myself in securing the
legislation asked for, and I believe that l
AN vouch for my colleagues that they
will do tho same.
I would suggest, however, that petit
ions be forwarded from the different !
mining camps in the State, addressed to
Congress, making such request, a. We
would by such action be greatly strength
med IN our efforts.
Yours very truly, GEO. L. SHouP.

Populist Auditor Underestimsted Debt
tn Hide Extravagauce.


The figures given by the Posr-IsrELLI-
eEScER yesterday really underest timated
the debt OF Kitsap county. The Populist
auditor In making his report Of warrants
issued for 1884 was very careful to bring
his accounts down only to September 1.
1904 At that time the warrants issued by
the treasurer for 1894 amounted TO about
$is500. Ii was very shrewd scheme to
make the figures extend to September
only, for more than one-third of the debts
of the county did not come in and were not
allowed by the commissioners until octo-
Der. At the October meeting Of the board
of com mmissionsrs about $3.50 worth of
warrants we're ordered to be issued. The
expenses of the coming election will be at
least 81 200 more. The salary fund for the
balance of the year will amount to over
81, 900, and about 81 500 additional will be
required to pay ordinary bills.
As q consequence the county will prob
ably have reached its limit of debt by jan
nary /, 1885.
