CUT DOWN IN YOUTH.
Sad Death OF Miss Grace Kin
cai(, of Fairview Precinct.


caitl, of Fairview Precinct.
At an early hour on the morn
ing of Saturday, September 25,
1897, Miss Grace Kincaid departed
this life after a three weeks sick
ness of typhoid fever, at the age
of Is years. Miss Grace was well
and widely known in this commu-
nifty, her parents being pioneer
settlers here, and her many ailn-
able virtues and lovable DISPOSE
ton had endeared her to all with
whom she came in contact. Last
winter she resided in Grangeville
with the family of Henry s. Jones
and attended our public schools.
Prior to the fatal attack she was
preparing to attend the University
at Moscow and was looking for
ward with great eagerness to the
courses of study which she had
outlined at that institution to fit
herself for q useful career in life.
The funeral was set for Monday
last, but owing to the non-arrival
of her brothers from Dixie it was
postponed until Tuesday, when a
large concOurse of friends from
Grangeville and surrounding coun-
try assembled to pay the last sad
rites to their young friend thus
untimely snatched away by the
cruel hand of death just as the
door was opening for her entrance
into life of promise and useful
ness. To the stricken parents and
relatives we extend the heartfelt
sympathy Of the community.

Monica has nothing but a straight
shore line for miles either way. The
writer is familiar with the situation
there, having been over the ground.
The Santa Monica appropriation
was so fragrant that it was held up
despite Huntington's influence.
Now Secretary Alger refuses to
authorize the expenditure of the
money al San Pedro, thus making
himselfa "bigger man than congress"
the peoples representatives. The
people can judge what influence has
been at work on Alger. The writer
has nothing at stake in the matter
except the desire to see the will of
the people paramount. Alger by
this action writes himself down an
anarchist and a boodler. The VOICE
does not believe in mincing with
such cattle, though they are

Advertisements in Republican as
well as Populist newspapers pro-
claim the fact that package cofees
can now be had at "two packages
for 25 cents about half what it
sold for before the Farrelly antitrust
law, passed by the late legislature,
went into effect. And coffee is only
one article. The trusts control
about 500 staples in all of which
there has been more or less huctua
ton since the Farrelly law went into
effect. But it seems that all this
benefit flowing from open competi-
ton is to be destroyed by grace Of the
faultiness of the Republican federal
law-the Sherman anti.tru law.
The wholesale grocers met in Kan
sas City last week and received the

plan TO evade 1t. In reporting the
wholesale grocer's convention and
giving history of legislation along
that line the Kansas City Star O
Sunday said:
! Then followed the decentralization
OF the wholesale business in Kansas
while the great trust lawyers Of New
York, Boston and st. Louis were ex-
aiming the Kansas statutes. FL
nally the sugar trusts and the biz mo
nOpOlies were notified that the Kansas
law could not reach them so long IS

said: "These are my goods and you

Senator Shelby Cullom has been
converted to the tariff commission
idea. For he writes: 81 have for
many years thought that there ought
to be some means devised by which
we could avoid these constant and
extreme changes in tariff legislation
first going far in the direction Of Il
high tariff, and on the changing of
politics, going as far the other way.
| believe that through the judiciods
agency of permanent tariff COM
mission, composed Of expert Stats
ticianS and business men, such
changes could be made year to year
by congress as might be indicated
and clearly shown to be wise"
Senator Cullom is right. Few people
outside of the manufacturers and
trusts care what particular articles
are placed on the tariff schedule.
So much revenue must be raised and
it matters little whether they pay it
or one article or another, beyond the
general idea that luxuries should
bear the brunt Of it, which they do
not under the Mckinley and Ding
ley regime. Why stir up turmoil
among the manufacturers and put
our industries on the rack Of
suspense continually Why not
adopt some settled policy and let
them rest?-and let the people rest
also, so that they can get focus on
the real causes of their distress?
But that would be just what the "wise
fnancierS" of the country do not
want, and FIR that reason it will
not be done until the people de-
throne present powers.
