One of the noticeable things about a
political street argument is that the
party that knows the least about it
works his face the hardest. The same
rule applies to those who do much
talking about the relative merit Of
candidates. The fellow who works
his face the hardest in the latter argu-
ment must do the bulk Of lying.-Rath-
drum Blade.
A telegram announcing the sudden
death Of S. L. Boyer, a brother of
Mrs. Burt Venable. at Silver city, on
Sunday evening was received Monday

The Idaho World delivers itself of
the following pertinent sentences:
1.-THE Duboisites are for Bryan and sill
yer. They are fighting the Republican
platform and nominee; therefore they
have no right in the straight Republi-
can convention. The Republican par
ty of this state supports Mckinley,
Those who are out of the Republican
party have no right to participate in
its primaries and conventions. The
Dubois faction has declared, by its acts
and its words, that it is out Of the
party"

it has always stood, for sound and
stable currency and for the mainte-
nance of all its money of every kind at
parity, always equal to the best money
of the most civilized nations Of the
earth. A disordered currency
is fatal to industry, frugality, and econ
omy. 1t fosters the spirit of specula-
ton and extravaganza. 1t is the most
efFectuaI of inventions to fertilize the
rich mans fieldf with the sweat of the
poor mans brow.-McKinley at Can
ton.
