last election. There is no ques-
ton but that the Populists are
bad lot. They have the faculty
of doing a great many things
that any other party could not
do with twice their number. The
same article tells us ssthat
Populist legislature was liable to
repudiare most any proposition
that could in any manner be con-
strued to be benefit to the
money loaner." AS the Idaho
legislature consists of 20 memb-
ers, of which the Populists have
25. or trife more than one-third.
it can readily be seen how easy
it was for them to enact any laws
that they want to against either
foreign or domestic capital No
account should be taken of the
fact that we have a Democratic
governor whose career and
lineage distinctly stand for con-
servation of the rights of prop
erty as well as the individual.
These 25 PopuIists can easily
overcome the other As, consti-
tute themselves two thirds of the
legislature and pass any radical
measure of reputation over the
Governors veto No wonder
the money loaners of Wall street
tremble I? 1t is not strange that
the house that Bunting built has
gone toppling from its founda-
ton ! What an outrage that the
State Treasurer should call in
outstanding warrants, stopping
the interest thereon and embar-
RAISING Bunting by requiring
him to dig up the States money,
the money of the people, which
Bunting had been loaning out at
high interest, instead of paying
off these warrants and stopping
the payment of interest by the
people. North Idaho Star.
