that the war department, be

one intended to ascertain the
cost of executing the order,
and about six weeks ago by
the secretary Of the war depart
ment, looking to the annual
exchange of stations of troops.
A regiment OF troops in Cali
tornia and further north on the

s. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor
AND THEY BOLTED.

For weeks it has been a mooted
question whether or not the Silver
Republicans would bolt from the
st. Louis convention if it declared
for the single gold standard. Peo-
pie have been used to so much de-
ception in politics that they did
not believe that the silver men
would make the sacrifice when the
crucial test came. The convention
is now a matter of history and the
world knows whether or not these
men were sincere. And history re-
cords that it was no grand stand
play" after all.
Not since the days of slavery and
secession has there been such an
exhibition of devotion to principle
as that exhibited by the silver men
at st. Louis under the leadership
of Teller, Dubois, Cannon, Hartman
and Pettigrew. They did not
walk out of the convention on ac-
count of any personal disappoint-
ments, nor in a petty spirit of
pique. 1t was a matter of princi-
pie, a great principle, the par
amount question, their convictions
upon which they could not surren-
der. 1t was an occasion like the
breaking up of political parties in
1860.
These men made a personal sacri-
flee. The party stood ready tC
honor them again as it has honored
them in the past. To these honors
they have turned their backs-un
less the people choose to reward
the sacrifices they have made il
behalf of the people, through some
other means than the republican
party.
Confidence in humanity leads u
to believe that ordinary gratitude
at least will prevail. Probably i
will be nearly unanimous endorse
ment.
There is one pre-eminent igur
in Idaho today. That man is Ere,
T. Dubois. He has proven a wis
leader. He has been faithful t
every trust. Let us follow his fear
less leadership.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
There is this much to be said in
favor of the work of the st. Louis
convention: The republican party
has selected as its standard bearer
an ideal citizen of the republic.
William Mckinley is personally
above reproach. His nomination,
from a republican standpoint, is a
credit to the party. The platform
is also a credit to the party. The
republicans have the courage of
their convictions. There is no
straddle on any question: vast
improvement on the last platform.
There is this much to be said
against the work of the st. Louis
convention:
The republican party has placed
itself squarely on record in favor
of the single gold standard,
/ (What himetallic strength, or hope,
there was in the party bolted the
convention and repudiated its
work. The republican party
henceforth makes no pretense in
favor of Silver. 1t has degen-

proposes to take care of the rich
mems interests in the Northeast to
the neglect Of the great common
people in the West and South.
Such a party should not, and,
We believe, will not receive a single
electoral vote from the Pacific Coast
States.

A Trick on Passengers.

1t is surprising how apt people are
to take advantage OF circumstances TO
grab little more than is fair or hon
est. Centralia is now a "jumping-off
place" for northbound passengers OF

Dor. Hours before the train arrives at
that station a speiler passes around
among those decorated with q Gen.

A Bold Presumption.

II the purchasing power of gold has
doubled, as the free silver people claim.
it is rather odd that wages. which are
payable in gold or its equivalent, have
not been cut down one half But they
haven't. Workingmcn are getting more
in these double dollars than they did
when they were paid in deprecated
greenbacks. If they are paid in some
thing the purchasing power OF which is
doubled, why should they wish to he
paid in something worth only half as
much?-P.-I.
Where, o where. are workingmen
getting more in these double dollars
than they did when they were paid in
deprecated greenbacks?' Where has
wages not been cut down one-half,'
though payable in gold or its equiv
alent? Not in the grainfelds where
harvesterers are working for 81 per
week; not in the vineyards or orange
groves of California where laborers are
glad to work for Is cents per day and
" find" themselves; not in the logging
camps OF our own State where good
men are working at ~ per week, with
no hope OF restoration of the $50 to
1920 per month, which was paid before
the goldbugs had got in their deadly
work on the wages of labor.
Nor has the skilled labor of trades
men Jared any better. We have in
our own town a first-class plasterer
who is glad to get ST. per day at odd
jobs; bricklayers who will work at
any price, who have sought labor in
vain in larger cities, and master car
penters who would gladly tackle any
jobs at one-half the wage-rate of "arld
lang syne." Printers, bakers, shoe
makers, foundrymen, engineers, and
all classes OF workmen are in the same
category, and are ready to work for
what is offered in majority of cases
and the trades unions which formerly
aided in holding up wages are no more
from the simple cause that it's mem
bers are reduced TO such straits that
they bid for work rather than CON-
mand its recompense.
What assurance is manifested in
such statements as the above, when
the intelligent reader has only to look
about him in city, hamlet or the coun-
try to see the PROSTATE industries and
idle men, ready and anxious to work for
a pittance of the wages paid up to five
years ago, when the goldbugs had per.
fected their plans for taking advantage
of the scheme laid when silver was de
monetized and corner rendered pos
sible on the currency that has been
stipulated as redemption money in
payment OF secured debts.
Oh yes; "wages have not been GU
down one hail." but have been actual,
quartered, and the quarters hid away
where labor cannot find them.

night to the largest audience that
had been ever drawn together in that
little city. The theater buildings
seating capacity is 800, and that was
filled and several hundred occupied

the stage. The meeting was as en-
thusiastic as it was large, and the

How Wealth Manifests Patriotism.

Nr Bryan in several OF his rcccn:

had big war on hand. We could not rely
"n the men who buy United States bonds
To- fight our battles, but We must turn to
the common people. II may he mat

any person who was old enough to re-
member the war of the rebellion, to learn

A usual the argument OF onr Seat

exceptions it notes prove the rule.
That there should not be some men of
means who served on the field OF battle
in war between the contepding
forces of a great nation would be an
anomaly in human nature, but that
either army was conspicuous for this
manifestation of devotion to principle,
which is the inference conveyed, is as
false as many other assumptions Of
that paper.
There are now said to be 1000

farther than the purchase of substi-

we will let that pass, and allude to the
place where wealth did play conspic-
uous part in the great struggle-that
was in ieathering of nests for the
Matching Of the golden eggs that the
national goose was compelled to lay.
This feathering took the form OF spe-
cial, or class legislation, which pro-
vided that interest on bonds should be
paid in "coin," while the greenback
was made full pay for the soldier in
the field, or the farmer on his ranch
who constituted the base of supply for
active operations at the scene of earn
age. The goldbugs, at a time when
the nation could not stop to cavil,
demanded class legislation before part
ing with the money necessary to sus.
tain the life of the nation, still there
are men who maintain that it was pat
otism which prompted this act Of q
Shylock, and who laud the attempt
to-day to corner" one half the cur

class to fatten off OF the proceeds oil

SOME of the goldbug papers are be-
rating Mr.. Harvey, author of Coins
Financial School" for demanding gold,
when he drew deposit from bank, in
Chicago, few days ago. AS the
amount was paid in gold, it is alto
gether likely that the deposit had
been made in that kind of coin, for
bank officials are not in the habit OF
substituting big gold dollars for those
that have had the stuffing knocked
out OF them by the heavy club of the
law. Harvey had the same right to
collect his deposit in gold as the bank
had to insert its gold-coiu contract in
every note made in its favor. Nobody
will say that the man who has done
the work of Mr.. Harvey is responsible
for the conditions that create the dis.
parity between the unit of value and
the money that is deprived of the coin.
