Ladies, Bewarel

The politician has a serious time
of it and his perplexities are many.
There is Bartlett Sinclair for in
stance. Lacking some Of the sin
ews of war possessed by some Of
his rivals for official honors, he
hit upon the scheme of making
friends with the ladies in the ex-
pectation that they would prevail
upon their husbands or their
brothers to lend him a helping
hand when the tug of war came.
The manner OF winning their friend
ship was where the novel feature Of
his campaign came in. Bartlett
had supply of rose bushes, shrubs
and fruit trees at his command and
these he commenced to bestow up
on the ladies. He commenced
promising rose bushes last fall and
now when it comes time to deliver,
he finds his orders taken equal to
six times his stock. Here was a
serious problem for even polite
ian, but a politician has a fertile
brain. Bartlett came bounding up
the steps of the HERALD Office the
other day with a light heart and a
sparkling eye, and swinging open
the door he shouted in his rich
melodious voice, "Eurekap
Eureka" and sank exhausted with
excitement into the EDITORS great
u holstered office chair. After
catching his wind, he related his
troubles as above and explained tha'
he had been at work all day digging
up wild raspberries and thimbJe
berry bushes which he was prepar-
ing to deliver to the ladies for rose
bushes, snow balls, lilacs, &C. HI
said he had trimmed them up nice
and cut them down so that The
ladies would never suspect the de
ception, and he would tell then
they would not bloom the frs
year any way, and that the deal
creatures would never know tn,

THE WILSON BILL PASSED
The House Passes the Bill to
Give us SampIing Works.
LOCAL NEWS ITEMS

Congressman Wilson has scored
another victory. He has secured
the passage of the sampling works
bill through the house. The bill
was origionally introduced as a
separate measure but Mr.. Wilson
succeeded in inducing Mr.. Dingley
of the ways and means committee
to have it ingrafted into what is
known as the administrative bill"
it being in the nature of an admin
istration measure. This was an
advantage in this, that there are
thousands of bills before the house
and it is slow progress when each
measure has to take its turn which
is the case with all except the
privileged bills such as the admin
istrative bill is. Its present posi-
ton will also facilitate its early
consideration in the senate, and of
its ultimate passage there is hardly
any doubt.
Mr.. Wilson wired the HERALD
Tuesday evening that the bill had
passed the house and that the
proposition was adopted almost
identically as origionally introduce
ed, Bonner's Ferry being designat-
ed as one of the points wheIe samp-
ling works should be established.

The message" is before the coun-
try, as unoriginal as its originator. 1t
tells nothing new, presents nothing
new, suggests nothing new and leaves
the country in doubt as to the inten-
lions of the administration in all
things where intent is supposed and
knowledge Of it desired. 1t is as
characterless as the administration
itself, outside of its logged Democra-
CIV, and that tells the whole tale.
British comment upon it is of course
favorable, for the opinions OF the man
who fathered it were never known to
be at variance with the views Of his
monarchical mentors across the wa
ters. Whatever of value there is in
it is connected with the state depart
ment, with Olney as its responsible
head. 1t is a message that will stir
no strife, for it advances no opinions,
and is particularly tame in those mat
ters where some force and fire might
have been looked for. In other direc-
tiOns. as in our relations to that north
west boundary question not a word is
uttered. 1t is a safe message just
the same as silence and deafness and
inertia are safe, and for so much,
thanks!

The immigration statistics of the
country show that a thousand foreign
ers landed on the shores of this re-
public for every day of the current
year. These foreigners did not bring
into the country an average of more
than S15 each, and necessarily had no
support but that which they could Sc
cure by undertaking the labor al
ready in the country, thereby swelling
the ranks of the unemployed by at
least hundred thousand. And this
thing goes on from year to year, from
administration to administration and
every one on the floors of congress
seems to have the lockjaw on the mat
ter. The time has come for radical
legislation preventing this evil. and
the people are looking to this incOm-'
ing administration for some measures
of relief. They have waited long and
patiently and their expectations
should not be disappointed. The I'M
employed American citizens have
rights that congress should respect.

There will be found on the floors of
both houses of the national congress
sufficient sympathy, expressed in pro-

that the great body of the American
people are in hearty sympathy with
their efforts to secure their liberties.
This is enough until after the retire
ment of the man who never lost an
opportunity to favor monarchy at
the expense of republic during the
eight years that he was president Of
the grandest republic of all ages. This
record Of his will go down to the ages
as history to be ashamed of.

Burrell, with the handle of Rev. at

his sense in so doing. He recognizes
that the Sunday press are doing a
large part of the work formerly done
by the pulpits on Sunday and doing it
better than the preachers do it. He
has the courage of his fears, seeing
that the Sunday reading offered
through the press is giving something
far better than the average sermon
to the readers, and necessarily keep
ing them home from church What
else is left, but for Brother Burrell to
attempt to boycott the press and run

1t is said that in the city of Chica-
go alone there are 800 families on the
very verge of starvation. 1t would
be interesting to note how many
thousands of dollars, within the past
twelve months, the people of Chica-
go have sent to foreign lands to con-
vert the peoples there from their own
methods of cheating the devil to the
more advanced American methods of
doing the same thing. The figures
are not at hand but there is every
reason to believe that enough has thus
been wasted to keep these 800 families
comfortably through the winter,
school their children and set the old
folks up in business in the spring.
There is food for reflection in this,
but none for the starving.

however, is an exceptional ruler and

grown to understand what govern

any question, nor is there any doubt
