A REPUBLICAN CRISIS.

Matters have at last come to a cri-
sis between the monometallists and
bimetallists in the republican party.
Sixteen republican senators, having
become worn out in their efforts to
have the party adopt bimetallism,
have signed a declaration which
means in effect that there is to be
no more protective legislation until
there is free coinage legislation, if
it is in their power to prevent it.
The effect of this agreement has
already been feltin congress. About
two weeks ago the single standard

republicans in the senate proposed
to take up the tariff bill. The sill
yer senators said that it could not
be with their consent unless coupled
with the free coinage of silver, and
the motion to take up the bill was
defeated. Then came a storm of
abuse from the eastern press coupled
with threats to read these senators
out of the republican party. After
denouncing them day in and day
out, the gold bugs must have
thought they had the silver men
fully cowed, for last Tuesday they
again moved to take up the tariff
bill, but it was again defeated by
the decisive vote of 80 to %.
The gold monometallist now fully
understand that the silver senators
mean business. In this connection
we are pleased to note that Senator
Dubois is one Of the leaders of this
movement, along with Teller and
Carter, but we regret to find Sen
ator Shoup voting with the gold
monometallists to help them pull
their chestnuts out of the fire.
Wharton Barker, editor of ''The
American" who poses as the leader
of the silver forces, has addressed an
open letter to the manufacturers of
the East. He tells them that the
responsibility rests with them; that
they can force the republican party
to adopt bimetallism and thereby
save the protective system. He tells
them that they must endorse BIZ
metallism, according to the plat
form adopted by the silver men,
and force its adoption by the repuh-
lican party, or that there will be no
republican party. Each mauufac-
turer was mailed blank petition
to have signed in accordance there
with.
Senator Dubois, in an interview
in the New York Times, says that
if the republican party, in its ma
tional convention at st. Louis, re-
fuses to recognize silver both in its
platform and its candidate, the sill
yer men will refuse to support the
action of the convention. They
mean business.
The eastern press may denounce
Senator Dubois all it pleases. but
the gentleman may rest under the
consoling thought that every voter
in his state who is patriotic enough
to place the interests of his country
above those Of his party-in other
words, who is for country first and
party second-applauds his cOur-
ageous stand.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK.

Two weeks ago the HERALD pub
lished an article calling attention
to the alarming condition of the
finances of Kootenai county. We
pointed out how the debt Of the
county had nearly trebled in four
years and how the rate of taxation
had gone up. We quoted from the
official reports to show that $412,-
309.27 in revenue in the last five
years had been raised; that this had
melted away, leaving a deficit of
$8S,461.15 more. We told the
people that it was time they were
giving these facts their careful con-
sideration. 1t seems that the HER
AID article did set many a tax
payer to thinking, and the matter
has been the subject of much COM
ment.
And now comes T. e. Anderson,
of Rathdrum, through the columns
of the Spokane Review, in its issue
of the 9th, and Celebrates upon
the HERALD article and attempts to
show how the taxpayers pay "too
much for the jug" We are sorry
that we have not room for Mr.. An
derson's article in full, as he makes
some remarkable statements. He
attempts to show that the salaries
of our county officials are higher
than those of our state officials. He
then charges malfeasance or mis-
feasance, and cites instances. He
claims there is a rake.off in several
instances, notably in caring for the
county poor, where it costs SIG
week for each person. Altogether
it is red hot document and sure to
set on foot further investigation.
OF course Mr.. Anderson's article
should be taken with some degree of
allowance. In the first place the
gentleman is said to be candidate
for the legislature, and may be
anxious to pose as a reformer. In
the second place, he has been a
deputy countyoficial off and on,
for a good while, and it is to be
taken into account that the spirit
never moved him to make any
charges in print until the county
commissioners at their last meeting
concluded to dispense with his serv-
ices as a clerk in the auditors office.
We do not mean to question Mr..
Anderson's statements. He has
made them openly and above board,
and in manner that calls for re-
buttal, but at the same time the
public should not be too hasty in
passing judgment.
The HERALD is satisfied that dis
cussion of the subject of retrench-
ment or reform, whichever is the
remedy for our financial ills, will
be productive of good and will lead
to a solution of the problem. But
it should always be born in mind
that the object sought is not to put
somebody in the hole, but how to
reduce taxation and at the same
time keep the county from running
in debt.
But reverting to Mr.. Anderson's
article, and considering his past
associations and present surround
ings, we are forced to recall the old
saying, "When Greek meets Greek,
then the tug of war begins"
Is there anybody else that knows
anything about Kootenai county
finances?

London, April 22.-Rt. Hon. Joseph
CHAMBERLAIN, secretary of state for the
colonies, made n speech at the Constitu-
tional club tonight containing many inter
estlng references to the political situation
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the whole
policy of Lord Rosebcrry, the late Lib
eral premier, was Il long record of un.
broken failure.
yet he never loses n chance" said Mr.
Chamberlain, ''of snecring at his success
sor's efforts to preserve the peace and
maintain the honor and interests of the
empire"
With reference to the colonies. Mr.
Chamberlain declared that there were
two governing factors in the situation in
South Africa. The first was that Eng
land must continue to he the paramount
power and would. at all risks and costs,
take action against any foreign interfer-
ence. The second was that owing to the
peculiar situation that the Dutch were
likely for many years to he in the ma
Jorlty, 1t was the duty of statesmen to do
their utmost TO maintain their friend
ship between the English and the Dutch.
The Dutch in Cape Colony. he said. were
as loyal ms were the French Canadians,
but they sympathiZcd with the kindred in
ncighboring republics
With reference to the situation of the
Transvaal refusing the common rights of
citizenship to a ma jority of its poulation
Mr.. Chamberlain said that formerly the
sympathies of the Dutch in South Africa

Transvaal, We're with the JTitlanders
Lately n revulSion of feeling had oc.
Cured. but he was confident that he
would ere long restore the situation as il
was before the invasion of the Trans.
vaal. He intended. he asserted. to cx.
haust the resources of persuasive arts
and negotiations to attain that object.
The Matabcle rising, he pointed out
was quite separate affair. The gov.
eminent was alive to its gravity, but
they believed that the local forces would
he able to suppress it, and they. therefore
did not intend, unless in an unexpected
emergency. to send large detachment
OF the British army to South Africa.
British troops were unsuitcd for such
warfare.
In conclusion the colonial secretary an.
