Wilhelm II. has caused the imprison-
ment OF another editor for criticising
one Of his speeches. Vain kaiser,
foolish man. who requires every Ger
man editor to shout his praise when
he makes speech. He not only
misses lots OF fun, but he loses all the
advantages of criticism. He would
certainly make better speeches than he
has ever made If he gave the critics
show, permitted them to point out
the faults in his oratory. and carefully
studied all their utterances. BY so do
Ing his voice would be tempered, his
presumption reduced, his swagger mod
lied, and his rhetoric improved. Every
kaiser ought to keep a squad of crit
'cs in his pay.

A REVERIE.
druggist

During the last campaign we
for good and sufficinent reasons
to anyone but blind partisan took
occasion to criticise Governor Nc
Connell. Some of the followers of
Mr.. Sweet Joined in big jamboree
of indignation against Us for so do
ing and even went so far as to say
that they would have us walk out
of town for the offense-that is to
say they would boycott us and
starve us out. Now comes the
Moscow Mirror, Governor Neon
nell's personal home organ, and
uses the following language against
the Hon. Willis Sweet and his sup
porters:
"Idaho will soon bury the Sweet
carcass and then the sickening
stencil of political dishonor will no
longer shock the senses of honest
men and they be compelled to en-
dure it. The good republicans of
Ceur d'Alene city are deserving
the sympathy of the people for be,
ing compelled to endure the impos-
itions of the cott-Sweet crowd,
but they are not alone in the stencil.
Latah county has its share and
more, because the main carcass
claims this as its home"
Now if these good, Sweet republi-
cans were sincere in championing
Mcconnell, why don't they spring
to the defense of their man Sweet?
Why don't they call their club to-
gether and pass some more reslu-
tons?
Or was the whole darned thing
ribbed up by few fellows to vent
their spleen against the editor of
this paper? Well, fellows, we
haven't done the walking act yet,
and, what is more, unless some un-
expected misfortune overtakes us,
we will not use our pedal extrem-
tiles as a means of locomotion on
account of journey for a period
yet extending somewhat into the
future. We trust none of our late
adversaries will be less fortunate.

Utah, and will put up works for
reducing the ore, the mill to have
capacity of 100 tons per day.
Ignatz We'll has won his suit
against Fred Suffer and others in a
case involving the title to one
sixth interest in the Continental
mine in the Priest lake district.
The decision was rendered by Judge
Holleman IF the district court sit
ting in chambers 1t is to be hoped
that the litigation will end here
and not be carried up to the higher
courts. If Mr.. We'll and his part
ners, principal among whom are
Mr.. VIM. Huston and Mr.. c. S.
Smith, have undisputed control
and owership of the mine, they
will go on and develop it and make
something out Oft that will not only
bring them fortune, but help out
the country as well, for, that the
Continental mine has big ore
body, no one disputes. But the
owners cannot afford to go on in
creasing the value of the property
until their title is secure, as it only
makes a bigger prize for claim
jumpers, conniving attorneys and
men of that ilk to fight over and
scheme after. The HERALD is glad
to hear of Mr.. Wells victory.

Better Times Ahead.

The year just closed has been a
fairly prosperous one to business
men of Bonner's Ferry. Had it
not been for the great flood, few if
any would have had any complaint
to make. The new year gives
promise of better times, and as
most of the firms are now estab-
lished on a solid financial basis, we
look for better times, and less Of
that heart-rendering anxiety which
not few have experienced to keep
their heads above the financial
waves. There seems to be a general
feeling that with the close of win
ter we will see the last of hard
times at the Ferry. This does not
mean that money will be laying
around on the sidewalks, but that
any man who has his business on a
solid business footing and will get
in and rustic can make good returns
on his capital. The next two
months will doubtless be dull, but
those few days will soon fly by and
spring will probably see a resump-
ton Of railroad work in this local
ity. This will give business a
send off and start the ball Of better
times rolling.
