FACING THE FUTURE.


That the election of November third
was not a test of the strength of the
two great political parties of the
country, is no more to be denied than
any other political fact concerning
which there is no question. That cleo
ton was the expression of the sound
brains of the nation on the question
of practical Reputation and discredit
of national promises, outlined in the
Chicago platform. 1t is as unwise as
it would be ungenerous to the sound
money Democrats to deny this fact.
The vote polled in New York City is
alone conclusive evidence of this fact.
Then, unless the same conditions OPP
crate to throw large Democratic
vote into the Republican column, four
years hence, or some other conditions
producing practically the same result,
it is not expected that the Republi-
can party will be thus aided. On the
contrary. this same sound money vote
which has aided the Republicans to
sweep the country, will be arrayed
against it i'm the contest of 1900. 1t
is manifest wisdom on the part of the
Republican of the country to early
acknowledge this fact and so shape
things for the future that they will
enter upon the contest of four years
hence with no false promises of an
assistance that in the very nature of
things they will not receive. The best
preparation for this contest will
be such an able and patriotic and
honest administration of the public
business that there will be no vulner-
able point in their record when the
time comes for again appealing to the
people. While political parties live
and will continue to live, and pOliti-
cal names will count for much, this
late election has shown that the sub
stance of things count with the peO-
pie. Party name is not so potent a
factor in political life as it was
quarter of century ago, This fact
the late election demonstrates. 1t is
the wisdom of the Republican party
to accept this change and run the ad-
and congress upon broad
lines of general delimitation. rather
than on sectional or party ones. There
is no doubt that the drawing away
from old party lines which has char
acterized this last election will leave
4 considerably larger body of intelli-
gent voters free from the trammels of
party than have ever appeared at the
polls. These men can only be induced
to support the nominees of the Re
publican party four years hence by
IN appeal to their patriotic support of
what is best for the country, and this
can only come through such record of
actual work done by the Republican
as shows that its work
has been thus beneficial. A union Of
all branches and factions of the Re-
publican party is needed to strength
IN the hands of the incoming admin
to pursue its work for ma
tional growth and prosperity. along
such lines as are really demanded in
the general mind of thoughtful citi-
zens. Sentiment will not count four
years hence. The enquiry will be into
what the Republican party has actu-
ally accomplished. Wisdom and
American ideas must govern now.

one-third of the entire vote of the
country at the last election, AGO. 600.

votes that are in the electoral college.
The little silver states cast more
votes in the electoral college to pro-

matter Of improvement thorough
cleaning UP of the streets and alleys
Of the town, and that the street COM
missioner be specially instructed to
clean up the alleys and If the resources
at his command are insufficient to do
this in a tirst-class manner, little
money could be spent judicially in
this direction. Some portions Of the
town are In deplorable condition in
this respect and are an eye-sore which
would make it seem that this matter
has been much neglected. We can
not blame the old board for neglect in
this matter as they were badly handi-
capped on account Of obligations
which the city had to meet. These
obligations are now paid and there is
money left in the treasury, so there
will be no excuse for neglect in max
ing necessary improvements in the fu-
ture. Private property within the
city limits also should he kept clean,
and all owners who neglect to do this
should be promptly notified to that ef-
feet. The health of the community
demands it. Now is the proper time
to look after such matters and in fu-
ture The SILVER BLADE will have no
scruples against telling the public
what the nuisances are and where
they may by found.
NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that a
delegation OF Occur d'Alene republic
cans came to Rathdrum last Sunday
to ascertain if there was any truth in
the rumors to the effect that a move
ment was on foot to send an anti
Dubois delegation to the Pocatello
convention and that Chairman G. l..
Hoffman was refusing to call the COM
mittee together on that account, all
of which was proven untrue to the
full satisfaction Of all present, includ-
ing ]. P. Quarles, our assessor, that
gentleman proceeds to Spokane and
in an interview with a Spokesman
Review reporter practically reiterates
the senseless statements which ap-
peared in last weeks Occur d'Alene
Press. 1t would be we'll for republi-
cans to consider this action, which
will no doubt give them clue how
the tissue OF falsehoods started.
Broad republican principles are
against such selflShness.
A FALSE report is being circulated by the
Rathdrun ring to the effect that the republi.
cans of this precinct joined with the saloon
men in cutting the vote for Gov. Mcconnell
This is simply untrue and the story is beins
circulated for political effect. Many repub
licans did refuse to support Mcconnell be-
cause he held the school of mines bill in hi.
pocket until after the legislature adjourned
and then vetoed it. By so doing he injured
the whole county.-Coeur d'Alene Press.

Poor Indeed.

There are degrees and kinds OF poverty,
just as there are differences of opinion among
those who compute and measure poverty and
riches by different standards. Some men
deem themselves poor because they are less
rich than others, again there are compare
lively poor people who are satisfied with a
competence. There is kind of poverty for
which no amount of wealth can compensate.
namely, poverty of Bodily stamina, eyinced
by nervousness and arrangement of the
fun ctions OF digestion. bilious secretion and
the bowels. To restore vigOr upon perman-
emit basis there is one remedy that fully
covers the requirements, '.fills the bill,'' and
this is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By re-
storing digestion, giving healthful impulse
to the action OF the bowels and liver and
tranquillizing the nerves. it fulfiills the con-
ditiOn necessary to a resumption of strength
by the system. 1t also OvercOmes malaria
and rheumatism.

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PER1TY: BIMETALLIsM.

PER1TY: B1METALL1sM.
A GREAT effort is being made by
some republicans at Occur d'Alene to
make the people at large believe that
Rathdrum is arrayed solidly against
Senator Fred T. Dubois on every
proposition even to sending him as a
delegate to the national convention at
ST. Louis, and their mouth-piece, the
Occur d'Alene Press last week
came out with an article charging
that Hon. Chas. L. Hoffman, of
this city, chairman Of the re-
publican county central com nittee,
was refusing to call the committee
together until such time when it
would be too late to hold the custom
AIRY primaries and county convention
to select delegates to the Pocatello
convention, in order that the CON-
nittee would be compelled to select
such delegates and that they were to
be men who oppose Dubois as dele
gate TO the national convention. In
justice to Mr.. Hoffman whose loyalty
to the republican party and the inter-
ests of Kootenal county can not be
questioned by any good republican or
citizen, we wish to say that the arti-
Gle above referred to was the first in
timation the republicans of this pre-
cinct had in regard to the matter,
and the utterances of the Press is
simply the rankest kind Of rot. There
is NO such movement in Rathdrum
and IL there is anywhere in KoOtenal
county we have not heard OF it. Du-
bois has many more friends in Rath-
drum than the enemies of the town
would have the people believe, and
perhaps many more than he will have
it his over-zealous supporters IN other
parts Of the county persist IN circulate
ing such false reports.
When the executive committee of
the republican county central CON-
mittee met here in February it was
understood that the committee should
be called together Immediately after
adjournment of the district court and
not later than the 1st of May, and
nothing has since transpired to change
that understanding. We do not be-
lieve there is one republican in Rath-
drum who would oppose sending Sen
ator Dubois as delegate to St. Louis.
II there is we have failed to find him.
Rathdrum republicans are hardly in
need of lessons 10 loyalty to republic
can principles. and their record will
bear out that assertion. They aim to
settle differences before the ticket is
nominated, after which they work
with their might for it's election,
whether the candidates are friendly
to the town or otherwise, so long
as they are good republicans.
