WHEN THE HEART SPEAKS.

Words are vain and useless things
Sounds that fret the ear,
Lips and tongue may silent be.
Soul and thought still wander free.
What are words TO me, or thee.
When the heart speaks, dear.
Silence wakes eloquent,
When thou, love, art near.
Soul to soul Its message brings;
Thought meets thought On fairy wings;
Words are vain and useless things.
Whea the heart speaks, dear.

There are times when Aunt Hetty

LOOKS ODD.

The People s-Democratic party
is party with a mission. TWAS
organized for the express pur-
pose of waging relentless war on
the money power. Yet it is a
notable fact that in this county
campaign, the most active worker
and stump speaker is a member
of the People s-Democratic par
ty, a candidate for the legislature
and at the same time President of
the Caldwell Commercial bank.
In measure there seems to be
some inconsistency about this.
If Mr.. John C. Rice were a Re-
publican, the People Demo-
cratic party would have raised a
howl against him that would have
startled the nation, but being a
Popocrat, IT'S all right. The
Republican party is consistent.
1t has just as much respect for
bankers as laborers, as long as
bankers are decent and respect
able. But the Popocrats pretend
to hate the money power and pre-
tend that they are engaged in a
holy crusade against bankers and
bond clippers. If they are sin
oere why do they place upon
heir ticket prominent represen-
alive Of these evil forces. THE
TRBUNE believes that Mr.. Rice
S an honorable man notwithstand-
ng the unfortunate fact that he is
of a bank.

NO SCRATCHING.

The Republicans of this state
have determined to vote the
the ticket from top to bottom,
straight. There viii be no trad
ing or scratching. There should
be none. This campaign by the
Republicans, and them only, is a
campaign of principle, and prin-
ciple should dictate every Repub-
lican vote. Vote your ticket.
Vote your principles. Vote for
Mckinley and Hobart, good gov
eminent and prosperity. Vote the
state ticket which stands for Re-
publican principles. 1t is the best
ticket in the field. Vote the
county ticket that represents Re
publican principles. Vote it all.

JUST A WORD.

The time for argument on the
political issues of this campaign
has probably past. Most men
have made up their minds and
determined how they win vote.
but it is not yet too late to say a
word respecting local matters.
Without detracting in the least
from the importance of selecting
good and competent men for all
the county Offices, THE TRIBUNE
believes that the interests of the
people at large are more par
ticularly effected by the character

HAVE GIVEN UP.

The Bryan managers have
given up the battle. They ac-
knowledge defeat and are pack
ing up their effects preparatory
to a speedy and permanent retire
ment, Some of them will re-
main at at the Chicago headquar-
tiers until the returns are all in,
but the majority will go home
and engage in dismal reflection.
Next Wednesday morning, VIII
liam Mckinley will be President
elect of these United States and
Garrett Hobart will be Vice Pres
ident elect. William Bryan's
meteoric career will come to an
end and the political comet with
two tails will disappear forever.
AT the same time the great sill
yer champions of this state, who
are silver men for office only,
will sink into oblivion and their
voices will be heard no more in
the land. The great reform
party of the nineteenth century,
the Populist, will fall back into
the bosom of Democracy, an ac-
knowledged flzzle. Let us all
rejoice in the wise dispensations
Of providence.

FRANK CANNON told the people
OF Malad, in speech made there
last week, that it was more i'm
portant to elect Dubois than it was
to elect w. ]. Bryan, and yet
the institution of which Mr.. Du-
bois is the recognized head, claims
to be the only silver party in the
state. Mr.. Cannon also said in
the same speech that if it had not
been for Dubois the silver ques-
ton would not have been an issue
this year. If this modern Caesar
should die it is fair to presume
that this state and nation would
go down to the everlasting bow

THE COUNTY TREASURER.

About the most interesting local
contest appears to be on the coun-
ty treasurer. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the Commercial
bank is pulling hard for Sam
CLANCY and that the First Natio-
nal bank favors Bob Boone,
while William Ireton is backed bv
the people. In this contest it
strikes us that it would be best to
support Mr.. Ireton. He will dis
charge the duties of the Office
without reference to the interests
of any bank, taking care only
that the money of the people
shall be placed in a safe deposit
tory, and that warrants will be
promptly called and paid when
ever there is a dollar in the treas
ury. Mr.. Ireton is the man to
vote for.

legislature and county commis-
sioners. Therefore, we urge
each and every voter to pay par
ticular attention to the candidates
for the legislature and commits
sioners. See to it that the men
you vote for are men of substance
and good repute; that they are
men who have lived among you
and established themselves in your
confidence, not as political ex-
perts, but as men of sterling in
tegrity and patriotic citizens.
Such men as S. S. Foote, w,
R. Whipple, George Alley and
O. G. Van Houten are men to
be trusted. They came up from
the people and are for the best
interests of the people. Such
men as d. P. Dodd, Alexander
Blessinger and Edward Allen are
worthy of your support. Real
"old timers, - pioneers that
helped to reclaim and civilize the
country. Think this over seri-
ously and earnestly; and as citi-
zens and taxpayers decide where
your interests and welfare lie.
Take no chances on unknown
men or men who make politics
the business Of their lives.

THE Pocatello Advance, a
pronounced and leading Populist
Journal says: "There are not
over 1900 Democrat and Popu-
list traitors who are not supporting
the People s-Democratic ticket. -
For the Lord sake, then, how
many traitors are supporting
the Peoples Democratic ticket?
According to Democratic and
Populist estimates, the Peoples :
Democratic ticket will win by
about 8, 900 majority over all.
1t must be then that something
like IS, 600 ''traitors' are sup
porting that ticket and that I 500
''traitors'' are supporting other
tickets. 1t does not seem that a
party unanimously composed of
traitors ought to win in Idaho. 1t
is regretted that the Advance has
such a poor opinion of its own
party.

against John Sherman and said
in effect, that if the congress
which enacted the law of 1873,
did not know the intent thereof
the said congress was composed
OF a set of idiots, unworthy and
incompetent to represent the peo-
pie Of this country. Mr.. Borah,
however, insisted that he gave
no credence whatever to the re-
port that fraud and secrecy had
been resorted to in connection
with the coinage act of 1873.
About six feet from where Mr..
Borah stood, sat two delegates,
one from Oneida county, the
other from Canyon county. The
delegate from Oneida county
leaned over and whispered to the
delegate from Canyon county,
saying: ''That's the talk. 1
like to see a man come out
square. That young man will
be a power in the state yet. -
The delegate from Canyon coun-
ty was very much impressed by
the comments Of the gentle
man from Oneida county and pro-
foundry moved by Mr.. Borah s
eloquence, candor and evident
sincerity. The delegate from
Canyon county was the writer of
these lines. He may have mis-
understood Mr.. Borah; he m4shDe
have been the victim of some wiits
phantasy or hallucination. But
to this day every circumstance
and detail seem so palpably reaf
that the belief that those thing|f
did occur, as related, cannot b4
shaken off. But stranger thai 4
all is the fact that a large numbe4
of delegates should have labored
under a similar delusion, ands
even discussed the subject atF
length after the convention adj,
journed. Such men, as c.. T :
Rooms, Hon. George c. Par f;
kinson and S. D. Davis, all ola
Oneida county, must also have,
have been afflicted as grievously J
as the writer. Then Mr.. joint
T. Keegan of Payette, Hon. =

others must have suf- (,
fered likewise. Perhaps, though i
it is all a dream, and if so, we (
cheerfully retract and offer here
an humble apology. i

lat Voters should not forget the

of their patriotism Abraham
