Boise, Ida, Nov. o.-There no longer
seems any doubt that Dubois stands no
chance for reelection to the United

cratic party now have forty four mem

to congress. A host of populists are
pressing tn -ir candidacy for United

Dubois's seat; Williams, a wealthy mine
owner of Atlanta; Boyce, a federation
labor man, who until lately was confined
in the Lesdville Jail, and Ruick, who
was distinguished in the first legislature
by having mucilage bottle thrown at
his head by a fellow senator, are all
talked of.
The only interest left in the result of

and it is probable it will not be known
whether the woman suffrage amend

decided what is meant by majority of
the electors voting. The other two
amendments, regading the offices of pro-
bate judge and county superintendent
of schools, and creating the Office of
county attorney, have been adopted by
large majority.

of the proposed exhibition. Iowa and
Louisiana legislatures have met since

preliminary expenses for arranging a
state exhibit. Legislatures of other
western states will meet in January, and

congress so that plans may be arranged
to induce legislatures of western states

he could to further the interests of the
exposition. The visiting delegation

meet about Dec IS. No definite action.

Indications of "a Prominent Funeral

New York, Nov. Io.-A Times special
from Washington says:

Senator Blackburn. He makes light

Blackburn lays his probable loss of all

Washington, Nov. S.-The campaign
waged with vigor during the next four
years in preparation for the election in
1900. The directors of the American
Bimetallic union, who constitute the
bulk of the silver leaders in three par
ties, have decided to maintain headquar-
tiers in this city from which to send out
literature. The branch Office at Chicago
will be consolidated with the Washing
ton office, but the San Francisco branch
is to be continued. Al the request of
the directors, Gen. A. J. Warner, the
president of the union, has issued the
following address to the silver leagues
and bimetallic unions of the United
States.
Silver has lost In this election, but
the battle for the overthrow of the gold
standard has not ended. The disa itrous
results that must attend upon the con-
tinuance of this standard make it i'm
possible to relinquish the struggle
against it until 1t is finally overthrown.
"The gold standard cannot be main
tanned by increasing revenue because
revenues are not paid in gold. The
attempt to maintain the gold standard by
perpetual loans must also sooner or late
tail The only other way is by contract
ing Il currency and forcing down
prices so low that gold will come here
of itsc f in such quantities as to con-
stitute, in part at least, the currency
with which revenues are paid, and no
debtor nation can maintain such poll
cy Either course, therefore, leads to
inevitable ruin, the one by bankrupting
the government and the other by bank
rupting the eople. Either policy will
subject the United States absolutely to
British domination, and hence the re
ioiciug of the British press over the de-
feat of silver here The victory for gold
is victory of trusts and syndicated
wealth, brought about by corruption
and coercion, and not a victory of the
people or for the people, and it cannot
! last There must be an end also to the
constant appreciation of money. The
appreciation of money alone, if allowed
to go on at ratio it has gone on for the
past twenty years, will, in half genera
ton more than transfer the bulk of all
the wealth from this country from those
who have created 1t to the hands of the
few who control the money and own
the debts. No power can be conceived
so porent to gather wealth into few
hands as the ceassless all-pervading
power of an approaching money stand
ard. No civilization can stand against
it. It must end or the foundations upon
which free institutions rest will be bro
ken up.
"The battle, therefore, for the restora
ton of silver must go on without abate-
ment, and urge upon all silver and BIZ
metallic leagues and unions to keep up
their organizations and to continue the
fight until victory for the people is fin
ally won.
1.-THE noble fight made by our intrepid
leader in the campaign just ended en-
dears him to all who believe in the
righteouness of our cause, and under
his leadership we believe victory will be
won in 1900"

Fell Into a Grave.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. S.-Blanche Baird
a young woman of Homestead, had a
gruesome experience this afternoon,
when she fell into the grave prepared
for her late friend Nellie Chapman.
The two young women had been devot-
ed friends, and Miss Baird was among
the most affected mourners at the
funeral. She accompanied the remains
to their last resting place, and was close
to the grave when she was obliged to
move to get out of the way of an ap.
preaching carriage. 1t happened so that
she stepped on the lid of the rough box,
which tilted, throwing her, feet first,
into the grave. AS she fell, she struck
her head and shoulders on the side of
the grave, and the lid fell on her, strik-
ing her on the back of the neck.
The young woman was pulled out in
an unconscious state and removed to
her home, where a physician attended
her. She did not regain consciousness
until three hours later. Her injuries
are said to be slight, but she was great
ly frightened.

Comments of the Press.

London, Nov. o-The Daily NeVs
comments with severity on Mrs. Cas-
ties case. saying:
"This woman, whose dishonesty was
serious, deliberate and repeated has
been sentenced to three months. We
favor short sentences, but we should
like them to be applied to the poor as
we'll as to the rich. The case will fOs-
ter the impression that when rich Peo-
pie steal it is not stealing but klepto-
mania. 1t is difficult to believe that,
even at the instigation of counsel, Mrs.
Castle would have pleaded guilty if she
were not So"
The Morning Post on the other hand
says: "Most people will be surprised
and panied at the sentence of the hap
less lady We hope the Home secre-
tary will give his attention to the case"
The Graphic says: at should be i'm
possible for even the most cynical un-
believer in the plea of kleptomania not
to sympathize with Mrs Castle and her
friends"
The Chronicle says on the subject:
1.-THE result of the trial was inevitable
but it was unsatisfactory. Certainly it
was a distinct case of kleptomania. We
presume that the sentence will be re-
mitted."

The gold men are making desperate

see that every candidate for the leg
