THE abuse of the DingIey tariff by
Americans returning from Europe, be-
cause it compels them to pay duty upon
new clothing in excess of 800 in value
which they bring with them, will make
more friends than enemies for the new
law. Why should those who make
oheir money here buy their clothes in
Europe?

The Bryan dollar, which in last
campaign was worth So cents, is now
worth Az cents. At that rate it will
be worth about 10 cents by 1900. But
then a man who could calmly argue
that the people ought to make dollar
with only SO cents worth of metal in it
can lust as we'll argue for one with 10
cents worth of metal.

By way of London comes the news
that the government of Spain would
gladly welcome any excuse to declare
war against the United States. al
though it fully recognizes that the war
would mean the loss of Cuba and q

The editor of the Silver Blade whose
fondnsss for gambling is so well known,
attempts TO cover the weaknesses CT his
own frail nature by throwing mud at
others through the sewer pipes of his
Shiny sheet. He has no more regard
for his word or written contract over
his own signature than he has for his
reputation, cons' qnentIy he is now be-
ing sued by J. G. Brady, Of Rathdrum.
for breach OF contract for the sale OF his
newspaper plant. Subscribers to the
Blade who have become so disgusted
with its coarse language, untrutbful ut
terances and total unTeliabiIity, had
hoped that the sale of the paper. as
agreed TO in writing by Yost, would take
place, but they might have known that
he was liable to repudiate a written con.
tract or resort to any other dishonorabIe
act il it suited his fancy. However,
those who are afflicted with the paper
may yet see Yost compelled BY the court
to fulfil his contract or pay damages for
his double dealing. 1t looks to Us as
though our dear brother journalist at
Rathdrum had his hands foil.

The Boise Statesman says that the
multiplicity of tickets in the field in
Ohio and other states during the cam
paign just closed is due to the fact that
there are no great issues before the peo-
pie. There are those who will differ
with the Statesman. The financial CUES
ton IL yet unsettled and may be consid-
cred a great issue; and the Capitalization
OF capital into powerful trusts and com.
bines for the purpose Of controlling com.
merce, congress and the government il
also a great issue that must be settled
by the ballot. In fact no greater or
more important issues than these have
ever come before the people, and the
multiplicity OF parties is due to the fact
that they are unsettled, the people not
yet having come together on account of
differences OF opinion as to the best
means Of obtaining the end IN view.
But the time is not far distant when
these parties will be crystalized into one
powerful, determined organization for the
purpose OF settling the financial ques.
tion and checking The aggression Of
trusts.

SECRETARY Sherman stepped outside
ri an established rule that has been il
existence since the formation OF the gov,
eminent, to write political letter fay
oring the republican candidates in this
Ohio ca mpaign. Among other thing.
he said : Il look upon the pending can
vass in Ohio as a retrial OF the issues in
volved in the election of 1896" A man
of Secretary Sherman's political sagacity
ought to know what he is talking about
and il his statement is true, the result
in Ohio is q Tebuke to the administra
ton. The "retriaP'' is a reversal of the
verdict OF a year ago because the big
majority has fallen away over one-hali
and the republicans win have so slim a
majority in the legislature that Marcus
Aurelius Hanna is not sure Of election
TO the senate.

aserious blunder in passing bill making

holiday. While there could be no ser

About Pigeons.

Noticing in the newspapers recently
the fact that pigeons, once so plentiful in
this section of the State, have almost if
not totally disappeared reminds me- If an
incident of early times. In 1923 Capt.
Nathaniel Russell and Joseph Hook, two
old residents of this village whom
probably but few now living can remem-
Der, made pigeon bed on the lawn now
owned by Mrs. Vine Coburn. La com
pany with Isaac Reed of marlborough,
then boy at the Academy here, we
went to their camp before daylight
and at the proper time the net was
sprung aud as result 453 pigeons or as
they were recorded by dozens, 3734, wee
captured. This was said to have been
by far the largest haul ever made in this
region. This may seem to be big story
but if you could find volume of the
Somerset journal of that year (the first
year of its publcation) you would find it
there recorded. d.

CLEAN PARIS KITCHENS.


ea~ Ashes or Garbage There, Says Lecturer
Clarence Cook.
What becomes of the ashes and gar
bage in Paris was question raised and
partially answered by Clarence Cook in
an address delivered at the regular meet
ing of the League For Political Educa-
ton on Little Housekeeping In Paris.
The Paris which Mr.. Cook talked
about was that of some 25 years ago,
when the differences in domestic life in
that city and this were much greater
than at present. Since then New York
has adopted the fiat system in all its de-
tails, but there were still differences,
chief among which was the handling of
garbage and ashes. III the apartments
which Mr.. Cook occupied in Paris, and
which he described as being delightful
ly situated, though ION the wrong side
of the Seine, " according to the,ideas of
fashionable friend of his in the Amer
lean colony, there were no ashes that he
could see. The stove consisted of an iron
top, with six circular holes in it. When
ever anything was to be cooked an iron
basket of charcoal was put into one Of
these holes, and the food placed over it.
When the charcoal was burned what
was left fell through the basket and dis
appeared.
In the way of food everything came
to the apartment fully prepared for
cooking. In IA mutton chop there was
nothing but meat and BONE and when
the meat had been eaten the bone was
deposited on the charcoal fire. Potatoes
We're bought already peeled, carrots
without their green tops and all green
vegetables without any of the superfu-
Gus outer leaves or husBs or skins which
would go to make up garbage. All of
this cleaning and peeling was done at
the markets. and the resulting material
was saved IN clean condition. Even
coffee grounds, Mr. Cook said, were
used after leaving the flat
No one in Paris ever bought enough
of anything to be left over, and no one
was ashamed to ask the dealer for a sin
gle mutton chop or a small portion Of
any article of food. If there were any
garbage or ashes in Paris, Mr.. Cook
said, no one ever saw either of them.
which was certainly different from the
experience of "A New York woman he
told of, who after "A years residence in
the city wrote to friend that life in the
metropolis meant the taking care of an
ash barrel New York Times.
