POLITICAL POINTERS.

/ Some Of our ropulist exchanges are
attempting to evolve a scheme whereby
delegates to the 81. Louis convention
may Be elected without calling a state
convention. No one seems to be anx
ions to squander money on forlorn
hope--Lemhi Republic.
After Boise wire puliers have exhaus-
ted their list of aspirsnts for governor,
in the west and north OF the state, We
would advise them to pay = visit to
HALEY, as they will find available can
didstes at that place for any Office from
road over<eer to president OF the
United Ststes.-Shoshone Journal.

Tuesday morning without saluting his

a man who so recently passed through \

the Democrats and Populists are
evidently going to stand by the beer
interests. A Democratic president
pleads piteousiy for more revenue, and
when Fred Dubois wants to amend the
Filled Cheese" bill so as to provide a
tax OF - cents additional on beer Der
keg, which will give about $4,000 900
more revenue, IS Democrats, Populists
ami Republicans voted against it in
the senate; while for it were IS Republi.
cans and : Democrats. We hope de.
mocracy will some day realize that
revenue must be raised some other wsy
than By bond issues.-Weiser Signal.
The measure introduced in the sen
ate last week by Mr.. Dubois providing
for an additional tax Of IS cents per
Darrell on beer, porter and ale. ior the
purpose Of raising the necessary revenue
TO meet the expense Of the government.
Is certainly more just method Of tax
aion than that provided for in the
Dinglsy bill. The burden Of the beer
tax would fall most heavily on the
wealthy brewers who are mostly citizens
OF Eng land and Germany and who have
amassed great fortunes in the business.
On the other hand the D.ngley bill.
should it become a law, would protec,
the wealthy manufacturer in the east
and enable him TO receive a higher price
for his product. which the western con.
sumner would have to pay while he n
turn would enjoy no advance in the
price OF the product Of his labor. The
Ding!ey bill is sectional and unjust.
The beer TAX would be no respeetor of
persons or localitv.-Emmett Index.
