Washington. March . 2.-Senator-elect
Turner of Washington, in an interview
today said. While l am doubtful
about what should be done In the way
of Cuban recognition. believe a strons
policy ought to be adopted when the
rights of American citizens are leopard
lied. l was a republican up 90 the last

PoSToFFICEs.
Washington, March 2,-The confrma-
ton by the senate yesterday Of 81 nom-
nations of postmasters is expected to
be unavailing so far as about five-siXths
of them are concerned. The obstacle
is the fact that the filing of a bond is
the requirement of the issuing of COM
missions. Most offices are or course
too far off to allow this technicality
to be overcome. and the result is the
leaving of about 25 per cent of these
offices to Mr.. Mckinley to fln.

Risky KIondyke.

The discovery OF the gold fields at
Klondye will be followed with evil az
well as good results. The tide will rise
and fall as it has done at new discoy-
cries before. The novelty will soon
wear away and the slow heavy ways OF
digging gold must follow.
Not every man who starts on the way
viii reach the fields, not every one who
reaches them win grow rich in shining
gold. Some will fall by the wayside
some will fail in sight of the precious
metal. Nature scatters grains of gold
In gravel beds and when these are
found men scramble for them like
boulders rubbing and grinding against
each other in whirlpool. To go to
klondye at any time is to invest in a
lottery With slim chances for a prize:
TO go now when winter is locking the
mountain doorways and covering the
trails with snowdrifts, is an undertake
ing which none but the hardest noun
taineer should dare to make.

MONTANA KLONDYKE.
Blackfoot Reservation Will Seen BE
Thrown Open to Settlement.

There are many Montana men who
are OF the opinion that this state con-
tains Klondike, and they are anx-
iously awaiting the time when the
Blackfoot Reservation shall be thrown
open. Late advices are to the effect
that the government survey, OF the
ceeded portion now in progress, will
be completed and the maps and plats
filed In Helena land Office by about
September 18th. The understanding is
that soon as this Is done the ground
will be open to location. In the mean
time Ross Cartee, civil engineer who
had charge of the government party
when the preliminary survey was made
and whose work Is the basis for the
present survey has, from his notes and
sketches, prepared map Of the coun-
try that will be Of value TO the prospec-
tor. The coded portion is about Is
miles long and averages ~ to Is miles
in width. IL is all mountainous coun-
try, having for its western boundary
the main range. The section is surely
rich Ia minerals and some remarkable
stories are told about discoveries made
in the old times when they could nei-
ther be located or worked. The Black
foot reserve has long been a dream Of
the prospector and the time is fast APP
preaching when it may prove a reality.

Second Shot at the Fee Bill.

The supreme court OF the state has
put itself on record again on the Fee
Bill. Itrefuses TO recede from its former
position. II denies rebearing.
The Fee Bill stands now as unconsti.
tutlonal, as nullifed law. The far.
reaching opinion Of the court places
the state in the territory OF No Mans
Land, and where no man knows the
laws that govern him.
The second opinion of the court does
not modify in "a single particular the
original decision, but it shows that the
court was not as harmonious on all
points as in the first decision. nor was
1t as dignified in giving it. What will
become of us in a legal way not even
a Philadelphia lawyer can tell.
What high points we viii touch In our
course through the courts will be as
difficult to mark as it will be to tell
who struck Billy Patterson or to point
10 the grave Of Moses.

BLAcKFooT. IDAHO, AUGUST IS. 1897.
DissOlying.

Evidences multiply daily of the rapid
.disintegration of Populism. The forces
that short while ago co-operated un-
der this name are seeking natural chan
nels and forming alliance with estab-
lished agencies for the promotion of
good government and the working out
of reforms
The desperation of the extreme ele-
,ment is corroborative proof of the fatal
decline into which the Populism that
asserted itself with such disastrous re-
suits to both old parties three or four
years ago has fallen. 1t was first devel-
.oped at the recent national conference
held at Nashville. The affairs attracted
no attention from political students and
genuine reformers in any part OF the
country, and it has already been forgot
ten by most everybody except the few
misguided spirits that actually partici-
pated in it. Two or three events of
special significance have since occurred
which give additional proof Of the truth
of the observation OF the keenest-scent-
ed Reader in the coun-
try, Tom Watson, to the effect that the
party was dissolving into its natural
elements. The fiery address of Milton
Park of Texas, Chairman OF the Ma
tional Organization Committee, urging
upon Populists everywhere to s.stick
together" has fallen fiat and is being
laughed at by thousands of voters who
were seriously influenced by such docu-
ments year ago. Coxey is in the sad
die in Ohio and is known to be riding
an unwilling steed purchased with
Mark Hanna's corruption fund. This
performance has driven the sincerest
and honest element out of the party in
Ohio and Disguised it in all other parts
OF the country. Last but not least. news
comes from Kansas, the birthplace of
Popuiism, that the Populists in g5 of
the LOG counties OF that State have by
formal degree decided to abolish their
party autonomy and cooperate heartily
and in good faith with the Democracy.
As Kansas sets the example for West
yern Populism, States like Colorado. Ne
braska, Wyoming, Washington and
Idaho may be expected to fall in line
when the opportunity is presented and
assist the regular Democratic organiza-
tion in its fight against Hannaism in all
its varied and dangerous forms. The
Observation-Disclosures can stay in the
middle of the road with Hanna, and
pick up whatever scraps of plumber he
may see fit to drop from his chariot.
Coxey has so thoroughly exposed their
motives that Democrats will not stop
10 argue with them. They are free to
take what is left OF Populism and do
what they please with it.-Republic.
