The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-09-24

the war ended 90 years ago.
Here at last the lesson has been
taught and learned that you can
not chain the eagle, you dare not
harm the dove, but every gate
barred to hate will open wide to
love. And the flag; God bless
the flag Can you doubt the
loyal sincerity of those who from
house top and roof have thrown
it to the breeze Let some sac
riIegious hand be raised to haul
it down and see. These are
honest flags with honest hearts
behind them. They are the
symbols of nationality as prec-
ious to US as to you. And why
not? What is left for you and me
to cavn about, far less to fight
about ? Slavery is gone, seces-
sion is dead. The Union, with
it's system of statehood still in
tact, still survives. Lifting oenp
the gates of these gateways to
the South bid you welcome in
the name of the people whose
voice is the voice of God. You
came and we resisted you; you
, come and we greet you; for times
change and men change with
them. You will find here scarce
, ly a sign of the battle; grim Wis
aged war has smoothed its wrink-
led front and, whichever way
! you turn on either side, you shall
/ encounter, as you pass those
, smouldering heaps, which re-
, mind you of valor and travail,
only the magnanimous spirit of

I Sherman and Thomas and Nc

Another case may be cited
from Custer county, this state.
o A gentleman who recently came
, from that section says the Popu
} list commissioners fixed the rate
J at the highest legal limit and
n were twisting and squirming In
IF an effort to find some cOnstruc-
n ton of law that would enable
d them to pile on an additional
% special levy.-Wallace Miner.
ir The above is false, and only
i shows to what extreme the Re
= publican press will stoop to boil
o ster up its own rotten party. The
o levy of Custer county this year
! is high, but no kind of a party
a Board of Commissioner could
,e have avoided this, owing to nee
d essary county expenses aud a
6 light assessment roll. The enor-
/. nous State levy, caused by an
y. expensive Republican admins
n tration, helps beautifully to heap
re- taxation on the people We adj
a wise the MiRer to tell the truth or
say nothing in regard to Custer
county affairs. Why is it that
C. Lemhi county. very thriving
ct county, has a levy of S6.16t on
TX each 800 ? That county has a
ne Republican Board of County
ne Commissioners.

of a swamp. This road cannot b

July, there being no bridg

en- across Payette the road coul
