ToNldHT's ADJUSTMENTS
IGNORANCE AT A PREMIUM

In turning down Dubois in Idaho and
PETER in Kansas the Populist-Demo-
cratic combine struck the cause of BIZ
metallism hard blow. Not that these
senators have enough true Democracy
in their composition to commend them
to the Democratic party, but since 1t was
good politics for the Democrats and Pop
ulists to combine to prevent the election
of administration senators in Idaho and
Kansas, they should have selected the
men who not only had been tried and
not found wanting in the battle for the
remonetization of silver, but who were
able to cope with the ultra gold standard
advocates in the senate.
Senator Dubois is succeeded by a man
by the name of Heitfield, an individual
who knows a good deal about the culture
of beets and cabbages, but knows moth
ing whatever about the science of gov
ernment He is said to be good farmer
and good neighbor. but is down near the
bottom of the pile in the matter of states
mamship. He has twice represented his
county in the legislature, but he neve,
gave any evidence of being up to the av-
erage state legislator in point of intelli
gence 1t is claimed for him that he is
an uncompromising Populist, and mar
row enough to believe that but for the
Populist party the god of civilization
would quit trying to make something out
Is the peer Of the leaders of the senate;
besides, his position on the money ques-
tion would make him the right man in
the right place in the coming battle
against the adoption of Cages monetary
system.
PETER lacks great deal of being an
that he could always be found in the
front ranks when the battle against
trusts, monopolies and corporate greed
was raging, and, moreover, Senator Pef-
fer compared favorably with his senato-
rial associates in craftsmanship. AS be-
tween Peffer and his successor, w. A.
Harris, there is no room for comparison
Mr.. Harris, like Heitfield, is a good
farmer, but he is not quite certain
whether political economy is a mineral
or vegetable. In defining his politics.
after he was elected, he said he was in
favor of the use of both gold and silver
"at ratio to be determined by the cost
of the production of the metals" 1t is
hard to understand how such an igno-
ramus could so get the start of the people
and have himself elected to the United
States senate. If there is a schoolboy
in Kansas who does not know that the
value of an article does not depend upon
the cost of its production, he should be
given up as a hopeless idiot Mr.. Harris
is a farmer and he has the evidence of
his bank account that he receives differ
ent prices for the product of the same
field. He may sell a portion of his
wheat at harvest time, more of it in the
fall, and the balance in the following
spring, but what has the cost Of produc-
tion to do with the value at harvest

YOUTHFUL ROBBERS.

About 10 o'clock last night three boys
entered the liquor store of c. F. A. Last
on Main street and each grabbing Dot
tie of wine ran away in different direc-
tions. Officer Walker took after one OF
the boys. pursuing him to Los Angeles
street. where Officer Dyke took up the
chase After lively sprinting match
the policeman caught the boy at Los
Angeles and Third streets. He turned
him over to Officer Walker, who con-
Quoted him to the police station.
The boy was booked as Roy McGur-
ney, charged with petty larceny

time, in the fall or IN the spring? More
over. the cost of Professionalism. min
eral, industrial, and all kinds Of pro-
ducts, varies according to circum-
stances, hence there is no such thing as
a uniform cost of production. When Mr..
Harris said he was in favor Of the use
of both gold and silver at a ratio to be
determined by the cost of the produc-
ton of the metals, he invited the legisla-
ture to reconsider the vote by which he
was elected, and either elect a man of
sense or leave the office vacant. 1t is
Just such ignoramuses that weaken the
cause of bimetallism. The business in
terests of the country have reason to be
apprehensive when such men are clothed
with lawmaking authority.

According to the report of the police
commissioners the Good Samaritan mis-

to be filling the town full of tramps.

There have been several proposals Of this nat

that some of them will be disapproved as not

1t would be wanton addition to the burdens Of
the people TO impose duty which would fail
to develop a successful home industry and would
not add apprecably to revenue But in some
other instances 1t seems probable that the cOur-
age of Republican protectionists may again be
shown In the rapid establishment and growth
OF branches of industry hitherto not adequately

cause it is "even higher than that Of the Nc
Kinley law" sensible people will remember the
tinplate duty and examine the facts 10 see
whether there is good reason for the change.
