FULL OF RESOURCES.

Perhaps, one Of the most remarkable
strokes in contemporary politics was
that of Chairman Patfie, when he as.
sumed to supplement the convention
call by request, over his own sigma
ture, that delegates be instructed to
support in convention a resolution ap.
proving the action of the five Republi-
can senators who voted against the
Dingley bill. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Patrie tried to force resolu.
ton of that character at the sta Q COM
mtttee meeting, and failed. That was
a plain notice to MIR. Patrie that the
committee did not desire to NEEDLE
with matters of that kind, and Mr.. Pa
trie was in honor bound, as chairman
of tde committee, to conform his con-
duct to the expressed wish of the COM
mittee. But, Mr. Chairman has little
respect for his committee, and believ
ing that the party needed discipline, he
proceeds, with great consideration, to
administer it. 1t is fortunate for the
party that they have such a consider.
ate and paternal man at the helm, es
pecially during the period of their adol-
escence. So long as Mr.. Patrie re-
mains chairman there is no danger
whatever of the party suffering from
lack of tutelsge. With almost miracu-
lous self.sacrifice, he is, at all times,
ready to drop everything in order to
administer little sound instruction or
sagacious advice. lie is not only pre-.
pared to run the mechanical end of the
machine, but to furnish doctrine, Is
sues, planks or any kind of mental pab
ulum whatsoever. 1t is fortunate, we
have SO versatile chairman.

THOSE EFFORTS.

A great deal Of fault is being found
with Governor Mcconnell because he
admits that all his efforts on behalf of
silver have been futile; that he thinks
the line of effort was wrong and pro-
poses to try something else. 1t was
not necessary that the governor should
have announced publicly the futility of
his efforts, but how any body can Criti.
else him for making such an eminently
truthful confession is a mystery. Win
some gentleman in Idaho please step
forward and show wherein his efforts
have been RVaillng9 Has anybody in
Idaho succeeded in doing anything in
particular for silverp We have all
been fighting for free coinage for
twelve or fifteen years and the results
OF our combined efforts as appears on
the record are these: In 1876 when we
didn't have vote in the National Leg.
islature, we got the Bland. Allison act.
No doubt, we are entitled to great
credit for that gigantic effort. On
July IA, 1880, while Idaho was stiIl
without q vote, we forced from the
ROldbug grip the Sherman law, and
great was our glory, therefor In 1898
by our united and persistent effort,
having then three votes in Congress,
We succeeded in repeating the whole
business and leaving silver utterly
stranded. There is the history of our
efforts and while 1t Is no disparage-
ment to the efforts, it can not well be
said that the results point unerringIy
20 the assurance Of future success. If
facts count for anything, 1t would seem
that our efforts have been slightly mis-,
directed.

THAT RESOLUTION.

WE would like to ask those Jealous
admirers of Senator Dubois what they
hope to gain by forcing through the
POcatello convention resolution en-
dorsing his action OH the Dingley bill?
What is to be made out of it? What
beneficial purpose is to be accomplished
1t may touch somebody or something
in Washington, d. G., or New York,
or Maine. 1t may make some old lady
IN New Hampshire tremble a little, but
what will 1t avail in Idaho? But look
ing again at those far away, invisible
effects, what do the people of the east
care about Idaho Republicans, any
way? Politically speaking, what will
the resolutions of our convention
amount tor As Republican state.
Idaho no longer has National status
1t is accounted Populist and a con.
ventlon resolution endorsing Senator
Dubois will only be something more in
testimony. These are the cold facts of
the case. But here iii Idaho such a
resolution will have effect, not because,
standing alone, there is any particular
objection to endorsing Senator Dubois,
but because that endorsement carries
with 1t reflection on Senator Shoup
And not Senator Shoup alone but on
all who regard the matter in the same
light he does. Therefore, that kind of
n resolution, while it can possibly do no
no good, is fraught with harm. 1t is
going to intensity feeling and embitter
men. But the strange thing about it is
that the friends of Senator Dubois
should be urging it. 1t can't materially
injure Senator Shoup, because he is
provided for for six years, but it may
vitality injure Senator Dubois. His on.
ly possible hope of succeeding himself
consists in harmonizing the party; in
putting it in lighting shape. That is
the first essential. In the second place,
he will need every friend he can get in
the state. lie can't afford to overlook
anybody, hence, his friends do him
great injury by stirring up the least
unnecessary strife. Altogether, that
resolution would better be dropped. 1t
is an unwise as well as unnecessary
thing, and besides, utterly, improper

c RIFTINo APART.


The two factions in the Republican
party are gradually drifting farther
and farther apart, until it begins TO
look as though a permanent and hope.
lesa breach will be created. The cause
OF the split Is based partly on fun la.
mental differences of opinion, and
partly on:other reasons. There are in
the party what may be termed radi-
cal silver element and conservative
silver element. The radicals have vir
tually awoved an intention of desert
ing the party provided an unequivocal
recognition Of silver is not had at the
national convention. The cOnserva
tIVes take the position that they will
abide the action of the convention
whatever 1t may be and continue the
battle for silver within party lines. In
other words, the radicals take the posi-
ton that-if the Republican party disa-
vow the principle of independent free
coinage, they can no longer be Repub.
licans; while the conservatives place
their Republicanism first, determine to
continue steadfast to the party in the
faith that as the Republican party has
hitherto correctly solved all the great
questions which have confronted it,
the same 1t will do by silver. 1t is diff
hcult TO see any basis upon which these
factions can tremendously unite. or
course, II the national convention
should declare straight out for silver
that would at once settle the issue, but
there is no possible hope of that. The
best that can be expected is a declara.
ton along the lines of the Ohio plat
form, virtually the plank of 1892. But,
Judging from all present indications,
1t is safe to say that the convention
will adopt q more radical anti silver
platform than that Of 1892. The de.
mand for plain spoken plank is uni
versal, urged alike by silver men and
gold men; therefore, it would seem that
the convention will be forced to plain
and UnequivOcal declaration, and it will
certainly not be for silver. The radical
silver men have already proceeded to
such lengths that the official party
declaration must necessarily Oblge
them TO withdraw formally from the
party and united themselves with the
silver party or POpulists. All, then,
that will be left of the Republican
party in Idaho will be the conservative
silver element, amounting to perhaps,
one half the original number. This, of
course, will leave Republicans hope
lessly in the minority, not only for the
present campaign, but for years to
come, However, it is better it should |
be so; it is better that all men should
be so aligned that they may be consist
ent with themselves and harmonious
with the whole. The principal suffer
ers will be the politicians; there will be
no offices tor them. Their vocation
will be gone.

AT the recent meeting Immigration
in Boise, Eugene Buchanan, of Mos.
COW, was chosen president of the or.
ganiZation having the movement in
charge. Mr.. Buchanan has long been
a citizen of this section of the state,
and is well known as an "all round
hustler" If he is properly supported,
we have no doubt he will do good
work. ...... .....

That's 1t. That's what always happens
when quaeks get to practicing on one.
There's the Signal been injecting some
OF its journalistic therapeutics into us
and we venture to say it is not regular

kind OF a nostrum on its own account,

fired it into us unawares, and then, who
can wonder at it, it made us smoke.
The Signal calls it mental miasma.
Well, just let it try bottle of its own
medicine and If it isn't mentally
swamped before morning, we pass. 1t
says We don't know anything about
the Gresham law. May be not, now,

He ip Interviewed on The Silver Question And Fr0'
pOandS A Question.

Ina recent interview by an OTegonadR
reporter, Gov. Mcconnell, among other
things said:
The conversation then turned on the
all absorbing silver question. This
reused the governor. II would like to
PROFOUND to conundrun on that CUES
ton" he said:
suppose company of brokers in
San Francisco, prominent on the grain
board, should dispose of tract of land
in the San Joaquin valley to a colony OF
farmers for 100000, or 10000 bushels
of wheat, they, the farmers, TO have
option, full payment to be made in 10
years. Suppose that this company OF
brokers, in their manipulatiOns Of the
wheat market, should within the 10
years specified succeed in bearing the
price of wheat to one half of what 1t
was when they sold the property to the
farmers, and that they should go to the
agent of the colony and say to him:
"Your people owe us an obligation
which is due on q certain day. We
agreed to talk either wheat or mo Q. :;
but, as wheat is not now worth more
than onehalf what it was when we sold
your clients the property. we think you
should pay us in coin insted of wheat.
We do not think it would be honorable
for you to insist on your option"
What do you suppose the agent of the
farmers, if and honest man, would say ?
Do you believe that such sophiStry
would induce him to overlook the in
terests of his clients and pay the obi
CATION in coin? hardly think so.
"Now, we have been confronted by
parallel case during Mr.. ClevelandS'S ad-
ministration. lie is the agent of the
people. In his hands were placed the
business interests of the country. We
have certain obligations payable in
either gold or silver at our option. Has
his management of our affairs been
such as we would expect from the
agent of the farmers in the case cited ?
by no means. lie has utterly ignored
the business interests of the country
and sold bonds to obtain gold to meet
payments which, under the law and in
honor, he might have paid out of the
silver in the treasury.
ut is not generally understood, how
ever, by the people that such is the
fact, and for some reason they are kept
in ignorance on the subject. No obi.
CATION of this government except gold
certificates are payable in gold, except
at the option of the government"

them. We are inclined to hopeful be-

Having made numerous inquiries
the answer generally seem to be in its
favor.
In two other counties where we
have made investigations, stock men
say that they have used it successfully
in feeding cattle for the market.
They do not agree as to it's value com
pared with corn bushel for bushel.
Some claim thati is better, others
deny this. But all agree that it can
be made to take the place of corn to
very great extent.
In this county the farmers all
speak we'll of it. One man who stall
fed cattle with corn and another lot
with Kafir corn, says the latter lot
did just as we'll
It is said to be better than Indian
corn for horses, especially when they
are not worked hard.
For poultry and general use on a
farm, for feeding such horses and
cattle as farmer usually keeps about
him it will take the place of corn
and do exactly as well.
Kafir corn -four is good foI pan
cakes and also for such uses as.
graham IS usally put to. Some say it
makes good biscuits. Tastes will
probably differ on this matter but
many are already using the -four and
there will probably be some demand
for it.
The conclusion we draw from what
people tell us is that every farmer will
do well to put in a small patch, say
ten acres, instead of that area Of
Indian corn. He will be pretty sure
to get a valuable crop.
Do not expect Kaffir corn to gro "
of itself, it won't. 1t must be carefully
cultivated. But when carefully cult :
waited the crop is very sure. 1t is
probable that we do not yet know all
about it that is to be known and it
will be well to begin with it in a
small way and branch ont when we
get more experience.

The Market Price Of Wives.

In the earliest times of purchase
woman was, bartered fer useful
goods and for services rendered to her
father. In this latter way, Jacob pur-
chased Rachel and her sister Leah.
The price of bride in British Column
90 to 80 pounds worth of articles.
In Oregon an Indian gives for her,
horses, blankets or buffalo robes; in
California, shell money or horses; in
Africa, cattle.
a poer Damara will sell daughter
for cow; a richer Kaffir expects from
three to thirty. Bauyai if nothing be
given family claim her childrea. In
Urgunda, where no marriage recently
existed, she may be had for half
deZen needles. for a coat or pair of
shoes. An ordinary price Is box Of
percussion caps. In other parts, goat
or couple of buckskins will buy girl.
Passing to Asia we find her price is
sometimes five to fifteen roubles, or
at others, a CARLOAD of wood or hay.
a princess may be purchased for three
thousand roubles. In Tartary a
woman can be purchased for few
pounds OF butter, where a rich man
gives twenty small oxen, poor man
may succeed with a pig. In Fiji, her
equivalent is whales tooth OF a
musket.
These, and similar prices elsewhere
are eloquent testimony to the little
value savage sets on his wife.
Her charms vanish with her girl
hood. She is usually married while a
child. and through sher cruel slavery
and bitter life, she becomes old and
repulSive at twenty-five.
