Not long ago Boise gentleman
shipped some cattle to commission
dealer in Omaha. He sold the cattle
and deposited the money, s12, 900, in
the Stock Yards Bank. The bank
claimed the dealer was owing 1t more
than that amount and held the money.
1t is plain the money belonged to the
Boise shipper and not to the dealer,
and that the bank had no right to
hold it. AT the meeting of the
Idaho Wool Growers the other day in
Boise the members felt that the
interest of one class of Idaho stock
dealers and shippers was the interest
of other classes of stock dealers and
passed the following resolution:
RESOLVED. That we condemn the action
of the bank and the commission firm in
terrsted, and will seek other markets until
such time rs the management shows a
disposition 10 protect us.
That is eminently right When
financial or other concerns in market
centers adopt sharp practices that re-
fleet unsafety upon the growers and
shippers of this or any other state, il
is time to stop right there and notify
that united interests of patrons makes
the severance of further business re-
lations necessary.

The republicans of Idaho with returned
national prosperity In view and the demo-
cratic star again in the ascendant, are not
going much out of their way to dash cold
water on the talk of forming silver
party. They will talk for silver, fight for
silver die for silver, but would they bolt
their national ticket and vote for silver?
Not much And there is where they ex
pect To get in their fine work. A demo-
cratic split on the silver question is their
hope in the coming campaign. But the
democrats intend to do just like the re-
publicans will do--everything for silver
except throw their votes away on a new
party candidate. They know the only
show for free coinage lies in their party
and will stay Idaho Democrat.
There's just where you are mis-
taken, Jud Here's one democrat
(Monroe and Jefferson) who will do
anything for silver, even to throwing
away our vote We will vote for the
devil before we will vote for any
man who advocates principles we do
not believe in. We will not vote for
a democratic gold bug even if he
runs on free coinage platform.
Cleveland did that last campaign and
repudiated the platform upon his
election The eastern wing of the
