The Double Standard, the
paper founded by Willis Sweet,
and managed by Mcdonald, was
attached last week and is now in
the hands of the Sheriff. This is
the third time it has been attached
within three months, and this
time it viii probably go up. The
Standard was one of the best
silver Republican papers in the
state, and judging by the support
the paper received we may as
sumo that silver Republicanism is
rapidly on the decline.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1897-10-23

According to advance reports
from Washington, the annual re-
port of the Commissioner of PEN
Sions will show that there were
over 1900 more pensioners on
the roll at the close of the last
fiscal year than there were at the
end of that preceding. This in
crease is understood to be owing
to the fact that the commissioner
took up and disposed of a num-
Der of old claims for arrears of
pensions which he found on file
when he took charge of the office.
Others Of those claims remain to
be passed upon, and it is intima-
ted that the number likely to be
allowed will at least meet the re-
auctions on the rolls which may
be occasioned by death during the
year. The Commissioner expects
however, that after the year 1898
the number will begin to drop, and
that once it does it will rapidly
decline. One reason for the fact
that pension payment continue at
their present high figure is found
in the opportunities which the
law offers to women to secure
pensions by marrying old soldiers.
Commissioner Evans expects to
recommend change in the law
which will prevent those marry
ing soldiers hereafter from draw
ing pensions after the death of
their husbands.

While newspaper stories have
been somewhat exaggerated, it is
an absolute fact that the western
farmers financial condition is
wonderfully improved. During
the past three years he practiced
such economy that with slight
improvement of wheat prices last
fall and fair values of cattle, sheep
and hogs, the thrifty farmer
gradually reduced his debts. With
good prices this fall, he is indeed
paying off the mortgage. The
fall in the interest rate is as re-
markable as the other features of
the rising tide.-American Agri-
