The threatened damage to crops
in the Tammany district, from
continued hot weather, brings to
mind the importance Of irrigation
for the Clearwater basin. The wa.
ter shed Of the mountain side above
this broad wheat district, is ample
to supply the water to irrigate all
the land between this city and
Craig mountain. Waha Lake is
a natural reservoir for the storage
OF this water. There is broad
plateau adjacent to the lake that
supplies numerous creeks that run
their waters to waste. These little
streams could we'll he diverted to
storage basins on the mountain
and in the lake. The land is very
rich from the mountain to the river
aud the climate is favorable to the
growth Of all irrigated crops. Ma
ture has placed these advantages
within easy reach Of the people.
Only neglect Of business interests
holds this important matter abey-
auce. Cooperation Of the land
owners or the organization of cap
ital would make this valuable
work ceatainty. There would be
no expensive bitches or fumes and
the water would be Immediately
available from the reservoir to the
destination without any long
stretch Of ditch with attendant
wastes and expenditures. There is
no better opportunity in the west
for Investment than this irrigation
scheme 1t is peculiarly commend
able to t he citizens of Lewiston. 1t
should be forward ed by substantial
support and by advice to those who
seekin investments.

Secretary Carlisle says IN his
bland and euphemistic Kentucky
way that the Government had to
sell its bonds to a private syndi.
cate because Of the emergencies

stating it is to say tina. such action
was necessary because the Treas.

celluneous and indefatigable folly

From Exchanges.

Those who walked out Of the
Republican convention and an
nounced they had left the party
are drifting inevitably into Popu-
lism. Experience shows that
there is no stopping point, that alb
sorption into the party Of discon'
tent and disorganizatio.l is the fate
of those who drift away from safe
mornings.
Four years ago the democracy
of this state assisted the Populists
in carrying their presidential cleo
toral ticket. Two years later the
Democrats felt the effect, coming
out third in the race. Now there
is open talk Of union between the
two organizations; and if those
who have abandoned the Repub.
lican party contemplated union
with the Democracy they would be
swept into Populism through this
force already operative.
The question for those to consid-
er who contemplate following the
lead of the boiling delegation is
whe ,her or not they wish to turn
this State over to Populist control
They will certainly land in the
camp OF those who are striving to
bring about that result if they
leave the Republican ranks; when
they shall have once started upon
their melancholy journey they will
be unable to find stopping place
until they bring up in that unin-
viting haven.--Boise Statesman
The withdrawal of the .ree sill
yer delegates from the Convention
was in a sense the happening OF
the expected. That is to say,
while it had been hoped that they
would not take that extreme step,
such action was but the fulfillment
of previous threat. Their posi-
ton from tie start was menacing,
and its logic led inevitably to that
result. 1t is notorious fact that
they came to the convention not
for the purpose of trying to effect a
peaceful adjustment of the contro-
versy about the currency, but with
view to insisting upon an abso.
lutte surrender to their view Of the
matter. At no time did they man.
ifest a disposition to make the least
modification OF. their demand. or to
accept any form of compromise or
Cancellation. They rejected all
overtures that involved less than
the full Endorsement of free silver
coinage at the ratio OF Is toI. A
plank Of this kind was out of the
question. and they we'll knew it
and frankly acknowledged it; but
they were not willing to take any
thing else. They assumed the
right to dictate platform to suit
themselves, and to commit the par
ty to a doctrine against which a
large majority of its members had
declared in the election of delegates
to the convention. That could not
be permitted. Of course, and SO
they walked out.-St. Louis Globe

office of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mine. Wardner Idaho.-Dear Sir. we
are in recent Of your letter of the 10TH
inst. soliciting help in the matter OF
raising funds for the purpose of spread
ing the gospel of free coinage OF SILVER
If we were mining silver we have no
doubt that we should prout by the Tree
coinage of silver, and self-interest would
probably prompt US to contribute ioer-
ally 10 your fund for promoting the
enactment Of a free coinage law, regard
less of the loss and misery such Iegisla-
ton would entail upon others. But We
are mining lead ore, and the free com
age Of silver would disastrously affect
us. and would almost surely cause such
a general paralysis Of business as would
shut us down altogether We are do
ing business on the gold standard which
We believe to be the only standard that
is fair alike TO everyone, and we are
quite satisfied with that standard, ana
desire no change. Consequently, we not
only can do nothing to further your ef-
forts, but shall do all we can to defeat
them.
So far as our employees are concern
ed, we are satisfied that YOU could get
no assistance from them. We believe
they are all aware that the free coinage
Of silver would mean higher prices for
and consequent decreased
purchasing power of their wages. with
this knowledge they are naturally en-
thusiastic supporters OF Mckinley and
Hobart. Yours truly.
