THE COUNTY SITUATION.


The Republicans of Kootenai
County are divided into two fac
tions.
One faction is com posed of the
regular Silver Republicans who
endorse without reservation the
policies advocated by Senator
Dubois.
The other faction is composed of
what may be styled Mckinley Re-
publicans, an aggregation of gold
bugs, pie eaters and ringsters, who
have for their leader Governor Nc
Cornell.
The former believe that Silver is
the paramount issue of the cam
paign and that all local differences
should be laid aside by all true
patriots, until the great fight for
Silver is over.
The latter effect to believe that
county division is the par
amount issue of campaign and
that the selection of legisla-
tive ticket should depend upon
that.
The aggregation, knowing that
they are in minority in Kootenai
County, hope by trickery and de-
ception to win the day against
Silver and its gallant champion,
Mr.. Dubois, hence they have start
ed the howl against county divi-
sion and declare they will make it
the paramount issue of the cam
paign. 1t is their hope that the
Silver Republicans will split upon
this issue and in that lies their sole
hope of victory. And every time
they catch a sucker on their county
division string, they chuckle to
think that they have weakened the
Silver Republicans one vote.
For weeks the organ of this ag-
gregation has been sending up a
pitiful howl about county division
and shedding crockodile tears for
the dear taxpayerl How much
would it effect the pockets of this
pie eating, office seeking combina-
ton if taxes did go up? Just i'm
agin such fellows as Bill Ryan and
G. l.. Hoffman, who are now rush
ing frantically over the county on
this sham issue-just imagin such
fellows spending their time and
their money and racking their
brains in disinterested effort to
save the poor devil of a taxpayer a
few dollars! Oh, no; it is not an
increase of taxes they are afraid Of.
The dear taxpayer is fArthest from
their thoughts. 1t is the fear of
the loss of pie served out of the
public pantry-there is the rub.
One week from today the repub-
licans of Kootenai county will be
called upon TO decide between these
two factions in the party. If the
issues are clearly understood, we
have no fear of the result. The
Silver Republicans will control,
and the county convention to fol-
low will name a legislative ticket
which, when elected, will vote first
last and all the time for the reelec-
ton of Fred T. Dubois to the Unit
ed States Senate. And there will
not be name upon that ticket
against which there is a suspicion
of disloyalty either to Silver or to its
great champion in this state.
We have no doubt that the people
understand the situation clearly
Ii they had any doubts upon the
subject of the deceit and double
dealing of the aggregation. those
doubts ought to be dispelled by
reading what Sheriff Ryan said up.

this condition of the blood that women

THE SHAM ISSUE.

THE SHAM ISSUE.
The county division howl that
has gone up from the pie eating
aggregation Of politicians at Rath-
drum has received no attention at
our hands until this time. 1t has
been unworthy of attention.
The alleged issue is a pretense
and sham to- divide the friends of
honest government in order that a
set of political ringsters may main
tain their grip on the offices of Koo-
tenai county and prevent the re-
cords of Kootenai county from be-
ing exported.
The alleged issue is a pretense
and a sham also to divide the silver
republicans that the gold bug an
mex may name the legislative ticket
in the interest of old Mcconnell, or
at least to send traitorous Dubois
delegation to the legislature, after
the manner in which Bob Browne
and Rev. Gamble were sent to the
legislature pledged to Mr.. Sweet.
Who is responsible for the county
division fight two years ago?
Whose candidate was Mr.. Henry
the author of the bill? There was
not a dozen individuals in the
Kootenai Valley that knew such a
bill was to be introduced until it
was introduced into the legislature.
On that score the Rathdrum peo-
pie have nobody to kick at but
themselves. They sought to defeat
the will of the people in the first
place, and they reaped as they had
sown, and now they blubber like
the big blubbers that they are, be-
cause they got the worst of it.
Who is asking for county divi-
sion now? Certainly not Bonner's
Ferry. There has not been a eau
Gus or move looking to that end.
This county division howl from
Rathdrum is only to hoodoo the
voters.
The HERALD does not ask any
one to take the word of a Bonner's
Ferry newspaper nor a Bonner's
Ferry citizen upon this subject.
We simply say to the citizens of
all precincts, if you have any fears
of the terrors the Office holding ag-
gregation is holding up to you, see
to it that an instructed delegation
is sent to the Ceur d. Alene con-
vention on this subject, but while
you are sending an anti-divisicn
delegation, see to it that there are
none but true and tried friends of
silver and gifts great champion in
this state among your delegates, as
well. Do this and there will be no
trouble over the county division
question, the selection of a legisla-
tive ticket favorable to Senator
Dubois, and, last but not least, the
utter humiliation, politically, of the
pie eating, time serving, record
hiding, gold bug gang in Kootenai
county.

.sNYLADYS'S SLEEVES :

Rev. r. + vann, pastor Of the Bap-
list church, last Sunday preached
sernan on wonan's work in the church.
In the course Of the sermon he referred
to the new woman" in contrast 70 the
aold woman" meaning the woman al
ter the old order Of things.
While he did not allege that the
new woman" had made her appear
ance here, he paid some attention to
the woman IN balloon sleeves. He
said It had been calculated that an
enorrnou. amount Of money has been
wasted on my lady's sleeves" TIL.
great waste, said the preacher, ought %
have been used in helping TO care FOR
the poor and sending the gospel to the
heather. He said if the ladies would
pardon him for saving it, he wanted to
fell them that he would not wear the
things. Said he, at is sinful, positive
" wicked. and | wouldn't wear them.
There must have been some squirm-
ing under the cutting structures which
the minister laid on this particular lad
Of female dress, but every one who
thought in a straight line long at a
time was compelled to say he was
right.
And after all, the 'little foxes OF ey-
travaeance that are continually gnaW-
ing at our purse strings are affecting
the welfare of the country and 1mpov-
crushing the land much worse than

Mr.. DUNN S VIEWS.

The Raleigh correspondent to the
Richmond Dispatch a few DAYS ago
said that Mr.. w A. Dunn Of Scotland
Neck, member of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee, had written Mr..
Ed. Chambers Smith as follows:
IF there IS any straddle by our party
on the silver question, IN either State
or national convention, II would be the
.upremest folly to make a campaign in
this State. Our people by us have
been taught that free-coinage is right.
and they believe it, 1t is needless for
the gold-bng organs to say now that it
Is Populistic to advocate free coinage
The Democratic party in North Caro-
lima, by the press, and by those placed
IN high positions, is responsible for the
faith OF the people on this subject.

ing"

We can less afford a division now
than at any time since the days of recon
structlon. 1t is absolutely essential to
our complete success that there be no
breaking ranks within the party lines.
II we continue to present a solid front
we are stronger than we ever were.
There is no use in harboring the
thought that Democrat can step aside
IN this campaign and affiliate with
an alien party for the contamination Of
some pet scheme and remain a recog-
nized Democrat, returning to the fold
after the battle is fought and won Or
lost
The man, who for any cause whatso-
ever, leaves the Democratic camp and
consorts with some other party, no
matter by what name it be called. is
lost to Democracy.
The only safe course to pursue by
those who really have the Interests of
the party Of the people at heart, is to
stand by and stick to Democracy to
the end. Differences of opinion ex-
lst among the subscribers to all creeds
1t Is the general good that should be
aimed at by all.

SEXTUTLE TRAGEDY

Rockville, Ind, April 25.-This
morning at O'Clock Peter Egbert a
young man % years of age, shot and
killed Mrs. Hermann Haschke and her
two children, Herman and Maggie
Sheriff ". D. Null, and Constable W
NJ. SWeen. He then killed himself. and
mis- sister, Florence Egbert, who was
lying very i'll with typhoid fever, died
shortly after the tragedy, OF the shock.
About o'clock young Egbert was
sent into the back yard to saw some
wood for family use. Shortly after,
while Mrs. Haschke was out milking
her COW, Egbert secured a double-bar-
relied b2eech-loading shotgun, and, go
ing into the Haschke house, which was
next door to his home, shot the little
daughter, a child of 10 years, dead, and
wounded the boy, two years younger,
who ran out on the porch, where Egg
bert shot him again, killing him in
stantly. Thes murderer then went out
into the alley and levelled his gun at
Mrs. Haschke, who, seeing his inten-
ton, attempted to escape. He shot
her, however, the charge taking effect
IN the top Of her head, and removing
part Of her skull. Mrs Haschke lin
gered in an unconscious state for about
two hours, when death put an end to
her sufferings.
Having completed this WORK OF
butchery Egbert shoUldered his gun
and deliberately walked up into the
business part of the town. Sheriff
Null and Constable Sween were plan
ming a means of capture of the murder
er. Egbert was walking across the
north side Of the square, holding his
gun in position, with both barrels cock
ed, when he saw Null and Sween cross
Ing the street toward him. He called
ed out to them not to come any nearer.
The two officers then retired into a
stairway in the National Bank building
Tor moments consultation. when Eg-
bert turned, and, coming upon them
suddenly, shot and instantly killed both
men.
The murderer then started to run.
5aking westward course toward the
air grounds, a number Of citizens in
lose pursuit. He ran like a deer, IN
Il. while crossing an open field, Just
vest OF town, shot from his nursuers

ire from his gun ignited his clothing, |
which was nearly burned when he was |

STAND FIRM.

These are times that try mems
aoi1l. ]" wrote Thomas Paine more than
y century ago. And while the causes
that provoked these words were quite
different from the matter now to be
conzidered. vet the truth is applicable to
the Democratic party in North Carroll
ma to-day.
With the present state Of affairs in
tbi. State there is danger that some
well-meaning Democrats will make
aerions mistake. 1t has been often sad
during the past few months that the
Democratic party would have no show
ing in the coming campaign and that
defeat was foregone conclusion.
These aombre reflections were, Tor the
most part, weighing on the minds o.
ardent 1flcndS % lIcc 6lI'ol. ~
made such predictions under The
belief that the National Democratic
Convention would be controlled by a
gold standard influence. and that the
result would be democratic defeat IN
the south, at least.
But things have changed considers
bly within the past few weeks 1t now
begins to look like the silver influence
will control the national convention
There are perhaps some good Democrats
in the State who are 50 thoroughly con
viced of the righteousness OF the cause
Of silver that they are almost willing
to ioin forces with any party that
thinks as they do The Popullsts and
Renublicans in this State failed of fu
s1on few DAYS ago. Directly some
Democrat. thought it the wise thlnG
10 combine in some way With the Pop
ulists and secure cooperation TO defea
the Republicans
Now. let us see about this: Accept
ing the prospect that the Nationa
Democratic Convention will set forth ;
silver platform, what can the Popullst
of North Carolina ask more? Free
now, and if the Democrats make sucI
platform what further excuse will thu
Populists have for not coming bach
and voting for silver under the Demo
cratic flag?
And if free silver platform
should he adopted and by its adoption
the national ticket be lost to the Dem
ocratic party, as the gold-standard adj
yocates lear. what difference would il
make as regards the action OF the Pop
ulists IN North Carolina? With ma
tlonal silver platform and State sill
yer platform the Democrats voulC
have all that the Popullst, now ask
for.
So THE DEMOCRAT says, let us have
no fusion with the Populists. With
the possible and probable condition
here outlined 1t would be silly and
child-like III the Democrats of North
Carolina to make amy concession to the
Populists further than give them a
hearty welcome back into the demo
cratic ranks. Democracy has nothing
to lose through consistency but 1t has
all to lose through any foolish blunder-
ing.
