THE PROPOSED BRIDGE.-Secretary
Lamont yesterday transmitted to the
House the report of Major Davis re-
garding the bridge to be constructed
across the Eastern Branch of the Poto-
mac river in the District of Columbia.
Major Davis gives it as his opinion that
the most available location for the pro.
posed bridge is at the foot of First street
southwest, Washington, and he esti-
mates the cost of building the bridge at
that point at $779, $50. In closing his
report Major Davis says: "The site OF
the bridge estimated for has been Sc
lected so that in case Congress should
decide on having the bridge built it
would subserve the best interests both
of the public and the United States,
but it is my opinion that no such bridge
should ever be permitted to be built"
The proposed site lies below the navy
yard, and Major Davis calls attention
TO the fact that at the present time
there is no drawbridge between any
navy yard and the sea in the Unite d
States, and that there should be clear
and unobstructed channel from the
Washington navy yard to the sea and
to its important proving grounds at In.
dian Head.

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLISM.
THE CAMPAIGN LIAR AGAIN.

THE CAMPAIGN LIAR AGAIN.
The campaign liar has put in an
early appearance at or in the neigh
borhood of Bonner's Ferry. For in
stance, it is said that Joe Varcoe,
who was some time ago appointed re-
publican committeeman from Boulder
precinct was, and now is, rank
populist.
II so, then when inquiries were
made as to who was suitable person
to fill the Boulder vacancy, why did
not less than three Bonner's Ferry re-
publicans, one of whom is a candidate
for office, write letter to Rathdrum
to the effect that there were only two
republicans in Boulder precinct-that
Joe Varcoe was one Of them. and that
he was suitable man to fill the COM
mittee vacancy? Why did not these
self same republicans notify the chair
man of the committee that w. E. r.
Brewster, a staunch and well-known
republican, had become resident of
Boulder precinct?
IT Joe Varcoe is, and was popu-
list, why did not the loyal republicans
from Bonner's Ferry and vicinity, VINO
attended the central committee meet
ing, protest against his participating
in the convention deliberations? The
truth is that upon the recommends
ton of a well-known Bonner's Ferry
republican, by letter of February 9th,
Jacob Lang was first offered the place
on the committee. Mr.. Lang declined
for business reasons. On March 9Th
a letter came from another BOnner's
Ferry republican, to the effect that
there were only two republicans in
Boulder precinct, naming them, and
Mr.. Brewster's name was not men,
toned. On March 18th still another
letter came from another Bonner's
Ferry republican, stating that there
were only two republicans in Boulder
precinct, and Mr.. Brewster's name
was not mentioned, but Mr.. VarcOe
was both named and Endorsed. A let
ter was written at Leonia, some time
after all this had taken place, and
after Mr.. Varcoe had been asked to
serve, stating that Mr.. Brewster had
become resident of Boulder precinct
and suggesting him for the vacancy.
Not once was his name suggested from
Bonner's Ferry.
II the committee chairman ap-
pointed populist in the person of
Joe VarcOe, then he was deceived by
three republicans from Bonner's
Ferry. II Joe Varcoe is, and was a
populist, and the men from Bonner's
Ferry knew it, they perpetrated a
fraud upon the committee and the
party by allowing him to sit and vote
in a republican convention, without
