The forthcoming Southern States Ex-
position at Chicago, the first Southern
Exposition ever held without the South
will be an invitation to capital and
population to come to the south. This
invitation will be sounded throughout
the world. If the exposition did naught
else but to sound this invitation, it's
value to the south would be beyond
calculation.

A meeting Of the State Republi-
can Executive Committee will
meet in Boise early in next month.
The object Of the meeting is to re-
organize the committee and to ar.
range definite lines Of policy for
party government. 1t is believed
that test of republicanism will be
applied to the members OF the COM
mittee and only those who will
pledge themselves to support the
nationa, Republican ticket shall
pass as Republicans. This is of
course right. The supporters OF
Bryan are not republicans in any
sense. On the orher hand some
liberality should be exercised in the
application of party tests. No
party can afford to throw away
votes. 1t would be we'll if we
could all vote together as we have
in years past for the best of COM
mon interests, but there are honest
differences of opinion among our
friends on the expediency OF sup
porting the national ticket on &C.
count of the silver question There
should be provisions made to hold
together as many Of our friends as
possible for the support ofstate and
county tickets. The fact that the
Republicans OF Idaho are uuani'
mously in favor OF free coinage
should be kept before the people e
maintain the party strength al
home. The idea of maintaining
r our state organization should not b
abandoned however, and the dele
gates to the state convention shoult
+ all be supporters Of Mckinley ant
q Hobart. They should also b'
pledged to do all they could for tn
s silver cause within party lines. AL

The transportation question is

The question Of profits and ex-

reason for the exchange Of his safe

he had when he was asked to sup

The republicans should affirm

Of their conventions. They should
do more; they should pledge all
state candidates to the silver cause.

On the other hand this paper ad-

plank of the republican platform is
not in accord with the views Of q
voter in every particular does not
drive him out Of the party. There
are many weighty questions to
consider in national politics. The
one question of silver is not
enough to convert true republi-
can to democratic or p0pulist
faith. The populists before held
favorable views on the silver quest
ion. but that did not justify the
endorsement, of their platform OF
vagaries as a whole. Not more
does the fact that the de mocrats IL,

lism. Free silver is just as desira-
bic as it ever was before; but the
other vagaries are jus, as danger.

las issued an address to the repub-
icaus Of Idaho His object is to
.econcile the position Of the repub'
leans of the state to the financial
plank Of the national republican
platform. That the republicans Of
Idaho are favorable to free silver
It the ratio Of Is to 1, is admitted
in this manifesto. The national
party has in its wisdom seen fit to
adopt the opposite view. Senator
Dubois argues that the free silver
voters should sacrifice party for
priaciple and Senator Shoup|
advises The sacrifice Of principles
for party. From this standpoint
Of the indie pendent voter this is a
serious matter. The true republi.
can is committed to other party
principles. Not the least import
ant Of these is the idea Of protec.
ton for home industries. This
idea Of protection in its application
to the Silver industry is the NOV
ing motive ofthc republican free
coinage advocates. With many
true silver men the idea Of silver
protection is uppermost in the
mind. To reconcile this class Of
silver men with the tree trade pol

would be impossible. To instill
faith in this class OF free silver
men. that party which has fought
every movement that was favora-
BILE to silver for all past years

the real free silver republicans.

All About Fiangings.

All draperies of a jute texture
are better with lining. They will
hang better and will not lose their
shape thea.
Very fine effects can often be
obtained in drapery by tying por-
tions of the fabric in loops with
strong Irvine and arranging the
folds to conceal the string.
If shades, besides short and long
curtains, are used on a window the
short lace curtains are put next to
the window, then the shade, then
the long curtains.
The cheap Nottingham curtain
is now considered common; it has
been entirely superseded by those
OfSwiss, Madras or easement muslin.
These are quite as cheap and in
tinitely more attractive.
Allow any curtain that is to be
fastened back to be two inches
longer on the inside edge and slope
it at the top. This will allow for
the pull back and let the curtain
fall straight at the bottom.
Library tapestries, lotus cloth,
Morris tapestries, yelYets plain and
figured, these usually lined in thin
silk to match or of a contrasting
shade, are some Of the materials
used for pOrtieres and overcurtains.
Cards with tassels in the center
are used two to one, compared with
anything else, for fastening back
curtains. Ribbon is still used some
what and a few ruffled Swiss cur
tains are seen fastened with Il piece
of ruffling to match that on the
edge.
Normandy dimities are very swell
and very pretty for bedroom
draperies. Have window curtains,
bed furnishings and canopy screen,
toilet table hangings and even the
wall covering made of it to match.

very nicely.

whenever an opportunity is pre-
sented for a proper alignment. The
remarkable and brilliant campaign
of Willign j. Bryan would have
aligned these forces and marched
them to triumphant victory if any
candidate or leader in America
could have done so under the Dem
ocratic banner.
The administration of Mckinley
cannot bring prosperity to the
American people. The mills can
not be kept open, idle labor given
employment and general prosperity
restored and maintained until the
wealth producers receive fair re-
turns for their labor, and are thus
enabled to purchase. The gold
standard and monopoly rule, to a
continuation of which Mr.. McKin-
ley stands pledged, means four
more years of falling prices, four
more years of lock outs and strikes,
four more years of reduced wages
and idle labor. This will cause the
patriotic rank and file of the Repub-
liean party to condemn and repu-
date McKinleyism, as the patriotic
rank and file of the Democratic
party has condemned ald repudi-
ated Clevelandism. | cannot be-
lieve otherwise, for l have not less
confidence in the patriotism of this
class of Republicans than the rank
and file of the Democratic party has
already demonstrated. Therefore,
a large per cent who, though not
fooled by the specious pleas of
"honest money" and promised pros
perity, yet who would not in this
campaign fight under the Demo
cratic banner, will surely join
hands with the majority of the
American voters outside Of the old
parties to overthrow a Govern
ment of trusts and monopolies run
in the interests of foreign capital
lists. The Peoples party has made
this possible; in fact, inevitable.
The position of the Peoples party
in this great contest has convinced
every patriotic American that the
party can be trusted to stand for
the principles of good Government
and the interests of the people
under any and all circumstances.
Therefore, the Peoples party will
be the nucleus around which the
patriotic hosts must and will gather
to redeem a betrayed republic to
restore prosperity to an oppressed
and outraged people.
