ton.
After the announcement of the COM
mittees w. p. Roberts of Hennepin
county got the floor for the introduce
tion of a strong Mckinley resolution.
In offering the resolution he said:
New York state is today wasting
her time in convention ON the favorite
son racket, and we should take warn.
ing by her probable fate. The time has
gone by for uncertainty. We all know
where Minnesota stands at this time
and should gladly give voice to our
true sentiments"
This statement was received with
cheers, and then Mr.. Roberts read his
resolution, which was adopted by a
unanimous rising vote. 1t follows:
Resolved, That the well considered and
pronounced preferer ce of the Republicans
of Minnesota for presidential standard

alternates at large today to be elected by

| Wes George took II trip through
Lincoln county last week, and this
is how he writes it up in the Call:
THE train stopped at Bliss. Now
Bliss is unfortunate. The town is
never placed on the 0. S. L. time
card. No one knows why, but it
is fact; while Ticeska, the water
tank just west is always there.
Bliss is the home of State Com
mander J. L. Fuller, G. A. R.,
has postoffice, express office, a
store, saloon. is the headquarters
for the Mullens reservoir and is a
distributing point for a big faru-
ing section from Snake river on
the south to Glover creek on the
north.
Bliss is the point where VIC |
Bierbower switches off to go to his
crab grounds on the Snake. Vic
eats crabs, calls them great deli
cacy, and is ready to prove it.
Then comes Shoshone, the coun-
ty seat of Lincoln county, The
railroad division was there once,
but the immence shop buildings
are now deserted, and the good
boys won't even break the windows.
The division will return to Sho-
shone when the Pocatello reserva-
ton opens, when the Minnie Moore
mine at Bellevue is pumped out,
when the HALEY people don't want
my more county lines changed,
when the Boise barracks are moved. |

We would like to inquire what
right the English had to create the
late disturbance in Africa? The
Beers have owned the country that
has caused the dispute and riot for
years, and they are not to be blam-
ed for fighting when England at
tempts to take it away from them.
This row in Africa is only another
instance of the hoggishness of Eng
land. The African country has
proved rich in mineral and agricul-
ture, and England wants it. She
would suck it dry and then turn it
over to the Beers again, if she could
have her way, but the sturdy Beers
were not such an easy prey as Eng
land thought, and they will, backed
by Germany, put up fight that
will make England very weary be-
fore she has been in it any length
of time. England has of late been
jumping on the necks of a number
of weak countries. and she may 90
a little too far some day. Then the
weak brothers will combine and
thrash the daylights out of Johnny
Bull.

THERE will be no war with this
country and England, not just at
present, however. England has too
good a thing on America now. She
has her finances so tied up that we
are tied hand and foot and cannot
enter a business transaction of any
kind without first consulting Eng
land. A war would be great deal
more expensive way to keep this
country in subjugation. But the
war will come when the people of
this country understand how they
have been made slaves and once
more get ready to declare their in
dependence.

THE Carson Nesos says it won't
join the Silver Knights because Bill
Steward is at the head of the organ
ization, and he is not Republican.
The Silver Knights is an organize
ton which has for its motto "Free
coinage of silver at the ratio of is
to l." therefore it was not supposed
that the Nesos or any other Repub-
lican paper would help the cause
along. The NeOs stands in the
unique position of advocating free
coinage through the Republican
party, nine-tenths of which is unal-
terably opposed to such action. If
there is any sense in such position
we would like to haveit pointed out.
