The populist leaders of Kansas
are trying to delay the time of
their final overthrow by a Gerry
mander of the state which will
secure them every congressional
district except one. In seeking
thus to perpetuate themselves in
power by questionable means they
ape the very worst features of the
party policies they have come into
power to reform. If populism
cannot depend upon the sponta-
neous uprising of the people its
day is doomed.

The courts have decided that the
county attorneys and school super

November must remain in the

women have wisely kept silent

badly afraid some unforeseen power
might set them back few years.

strue verb in the present tense to
mean the next century as the next
year.

The postoffice department has
decided to try the experiment of
free delivery in thirty-six country
districts. Yakima county in
Washington has been selected for
the experimt nj in the Northwest
1t seems that the question of rural
free delivery will depend upon the
question of profit or loss to the
government in the districts selected
for the experiment. 1t is doubtful
whether or not question Of re-
form should be accepted or rejected
as the result of the balance of the
ledger. A subject of such vast i'm
portance as free mail service
should stand upon principle. The
success Of this policy has been
established in England and other
states Of Europe. The rural peo-
pie of the United States are far in
advance of the peasantry of Europe

cial needs are fast advancing upon
those of business men of the towns
and cities. The farmers of this ge
are students Of the markets as we'll
as workers in the fields. The
farmer with a business that returns
profit sufficient to support his
family has as many aud as vital in
terests as the average groceryman
or the dry goods merchant, all of
which depend upon the condition
OF the markets and the general
news OF the day. The farmer too
is more continuously engaged with
his promiscuous duties than any
other business man. 1t is esti-
mated that three mail carriers can
accommodate the people within

of the largest in the country that
is served from one postoffice. If
this is true the saving to TIE peo-

The present legislature is taking

memorials to congress asking for
free and unlimited coinage of sill

resolution opposing any form OF
bimetallism if sanctioned by inter.

The tour years past have inau-
gurated new business methods,
especially III the great west.
Economic industrial policy would
have saved this land of rich, vir-
gin fields from the distress that
comes from other causes to less
favored regions Money came so
easily to all business men from the
farmer to the merchant that habits
Of extravaganza became too COM
mon. The lessons of the imme-
diate past have corrected these
business policies. The people Of
the west have never been lacking
IN energy. The progress Of the
new west has been phenomenal.
The energies which redeemed
our deserts and built up our cities
when gagged to lines of present day
business methods will build a
grand commercial edifice upon the
cnaos of the past, Debts and
credits have been the ruin OF this
country. From an object lesson
the people have graduated in the
science of economies. There are a
thousand new families in this
county and many of them were
driven from their homes in other
districts by debts, mortgages and
court DEGREES. They have started
again under new and favorable
conditions. Their hope for future
independence is in the study OF the
past. Their danger lies in a re-
vival of the credit system.

Senators Shoup aid Dubois are
both grand humbugs" when it
comes to supporting a measure of
particular benefit to Idaho Nez
Perez News.
The Nez Perez News is blind
with prejudice. What measure
before congress of interest to this
state did Senator Shoup ever neg
lect? Ifit had not been for the
effective work of Shoup the Nez
Perez reservation would have re-
manned waste for years to come.
And Senator Shoup worked and is
working at his post for the free
homestead bill. He was so sick
that he had to be assisted TO his
seat when the free homestead bill
was pending; and he sat in distress
for three hours to watch the pro-
gress and vote for the measure.
The News IS ungrateful when it
attacks Senator Shoup even if his
efforts for it's immediate district
were all he had ever done for his
state.

ing over the state. In the face of
these facts it is safe to say the
present law is a failure. In the
Lewiston valley the fruit interest
is menaced by few infested or
chards. The scaly fruit is sold in
open market, and the pest is scat
tered broad cast. This fact IS
known to the state inspector and to
the county commissioners, but no
measures are provided to prevent
the sacrifice. The work of com
batting the scale this year can be
done only III the next sixty days;
and this county is now without a
local inspector or other official with
authority to prosecute the work
The warfare against the San Jose
scale can never be executed sue
Cessfully by individual effort.
Well directed work at public ex-
pense will save our orchards; but
two years more under the present
law will ruin them.

The dispatches sent to the ma
tional capital set out the fact that
Senator Heitfeld will affiliate with
the democratic caucus upon all
questions of national interest.
There would be nothing strange in
such procedure. Senator Heit-
field is only recent convert to
populism, and those who know
him best concede the fact that his
democratic tendencies are very pro-
nounced. Indeed, such a move
ment on the part of the senator
elect would be matter of wisdom,
for while it might disappoint men,
bers of the populist party in the
state it would certainly strengthen
his position in the senate. The
national populist party will hardly
survive the shock of the recent
defeat. 1t lost prestige IN the last
campaign, and every day brings
added evidence that forces are at
work which will eliminate in the
disintegration of the party. In
deciding to cast his lot with the
democrats, Senator Heitfeld makes
a shrewd move. This is look
toward future interests. 1t is evil
dent that the wave of pop ,lism
has spent it's force. Six years
from now Senator Heitfeld can
very properly stand for reelection
in the new alignment of parties as
a democrat.

Political Cant.

One has only to read over the
current reports OF the proceedings
of the state legislature to be con-
WINGED OF the truth OF the adage
which proclaims that "a little
learning is dangerous thing
Half Of the political madness of
the present age of unrest can be
traced to the fact that in seeking
for the solution to some of our
social and economic questions peo-
pie grasp at half truth, jump to
conclusion and go to parading
their fetch and fighting the crea
ture of their imagination.
Some Coiner of eaten phrases
furnishes a name and the rank and
file of phantom Chasers take up
the hue and cry. A case in point
is the bugaboo of "class legisla-
ton 1t would be amusing il it
were not quite SO silly to watch
our pseudo-rciormer, Ike a gal
lery play and behold in the pro-
posed measure the apparition OF
"class legislation which, like
Banquo's ghost, will never down.

lation;" if the member happens to

ment that the tendency of the

rushes to the field ''to protect the
American home against the iron
grasp of monopoly" These bril-
liant pyrotechnics take the place Of
any real discussion of the question
in hand. and the verbal conjurer
quits the field under the impress
sion that he has slain another
dragon.
In fact, our modern embryo
statesman ranges the field like an
other Don Quixote, fighting wind
mills, overlooking the simple fact
that the questions to be decided
are very commonplace questions of
every day business life. This may
be necessary stage of human
development, but ifso hasten the
day when we can have less cam
paign fireworks and more common
sense business methods.

ANOTHER ANTI-MKINLEY MAN
TURNED DOWN.

If the specials from Washington are
to be credited the appointment of Mr..
Blanchard as postmaster at San An
gelo is a square rundown for our
friend Millspaugh. 1t may be remem-
bered that Mr.. Millspaugh was elect
ed as a Mckinley delegate to the Aus
tin convention, and after getting to
Austin turned over to the Allison for
ces. Mr.. Millspaugh put his confidence
in Terrell & Co., and no doubt saw his
vision of big hunks of pie when he
left the Mckinley ranks for the Quincy
crowd, but there has been Waterman
on the tower looking out for just such
ducks as our friend Millspaugh. Mr..
Blanchard is the editor of the Enter
prise and deserves the piece of pie for
his constant and loyal course during
the campaign. If President Mckinley
will just put in good sound pencil
showers wherever they can be found
the party will flourish, and the cause
not be betrayed. We congratulate
Blanchard, and hope it may prove a
lesson to our friend Millspaugh-never
to go back on the white people. N.
