here last night to large and spprecis-

his ability in handling the political is
sues of the day, and he was roundly

that under the present condition our
public schools are suffering from the
inability of the farmers to pay wages
sufficient to call the best teachers into

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

"The first quarter of 1895 presents
the largest list of actual commercial
and Industrial failures in business IL
the United States, those In which liza.
bilities exceed assets, ever reported fol
II Ike period. The total (incladiHg fl
nancial institutions is 4,6l2, or zoe
more than in u like portion of 1895, 543
more than in 1894, and ,443 more than
in the first quarter of 1893, increases OF
10, ii and of AZ per cent respectively
The largest preceding like total, 1850
was reported in 1885. Liabilities of
those failing this year amount to S62,.
$4,000, an increase of 30 per cent as
compared with a year ago, % per cent.
as compared with the first quarter of
1894. aud 60 per cent as cOntrasted with
three years ago."
The foregoing, taken from an eastern
exchange, certainly affords material for
reflection. The question every think
ing man must ask is this: To what
extent is legislation responsible for
such disasters? To say that it is
wholly so would be as far from correct
as to say that legislation is not at all
answerable. No system of legislation
can possibly be devised that will en-
tirely prevent failures. A certain pro-
portion of failures to the total number
of business enterprises is normal, just
as a certain ratio of deaths is normal.
Again, entirely independent of legisla.
ton, there may be epidemics of failures
and the history of commerce seems to
indicate that these epidemics recur
with some degree of periodical regular.
ity, just like Asiatic cholera and vel
low fever. The country has evidently
been enjoying a most malignant cpl
demic of business disaster ever since
March 4, 1892, and It is unfortunate
that it began contemporaneOusly with
the installation of a complete Demo
cratic administration. Unfortunate,
we say, because it makes it difficult to
determine what proportion of the dis
tress and depression which still hangs
like pail over the land is due to nat
ural causes and what due to the fear
and fact of Democratic legislation. 1t
would be palpably unjust to charge
every business disaster which has oc.
CURED in the last three and a half
years to Democracy, A certain por-
ton, at least 10 per cent, are due to
other causes and in making up the bill
of charges against the Cleveland adj
an allowance Of 10 off
may be fairly made.

Bobby was arreted and brought before
Jnstice Driscoll of Payette who held

THERE are some remarkable minds
in the Republican party. Their latest
cry is, "free coinage and protection.
not one, BOTH" Of course that makes
protection dependent on free coinage
and-free coinage dependent on pro-
lection. There you have brilliant
thing. Under the terms of such plat.
form, those same bowling free silver
men couldn't accept free coinage un-
less coupled with protective tariff.
Well we are a different sort of silver
man from that. We are ready to take
free silver with or without protection.
