The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1897-01-09

As result of the legislative or.
ganization' the State of Idaho is
now absolutely in control of the
Democrats. They have the Cover
nor, Attorney General, Treasurer
and Inspector of Mines, and while
they now control they must also
assume the responsibility. This
coup d'etat of the Democrats, as
sisted by the silver Republicans,
has created the most intense parti-
san feeling. The Populists accuse
the Democrats of the basest kind
of ingratitude, and remind them
that it was Populist votes that sent
the Democrats to the Legislature.
The Democrats claim in return that
thus far the Populists have had the
best of everything since their al
lance last fall, that they have the
Congressman and most of the State
officers and they may probably get
the Senator.

CAPITAL Gossip.

The bevy of charming young
ladies who have haunted the corri-
doris of the Capitol hotel. button
holing members in an effort to Sc
cure their support for places IN the
legislature, are on the. warpath.
They claim that the populists mis-
led them by the confidence mani
tested, when the members began to
assemble, in their ability to control
the organization. The girls devoted
their attention largely to represent
atives of that party, with the result
that most Of them were left out IN
the cold when the upheaval came.
There is a good story told in the
Hobbies respecting the manner III
which members Of the house were
taken in by lad who secured an
appointment as page. The boy had
seen all the members and told them
moving story to the effect that he
was the sole support of widowed
mother and that he needed the en-
ployment to preserve her from sut-
fering. His appeal was so effective
that he occurred the appointment.
1t was discovered afterwards that
the boy has an able-bodied father
living in the city. Some of the
members talked about having him
removed, bot others put their foot
down on it on the principle that a'lad
should be encouraged who shows
himself to be so literally endowed
with the stuff that politicians are
made of.-Boise Statesman.
The populists have one house
employee; be is Henry Nelson, OF
Latah county who was elected JAM
itor Wednesday. When his nsme
was presented it was stated chat be
and his family had assisted the flu
sion ticket by giving concerts and
it was further announced that he
was a democrat-populist. Perkins,
of Blaine, thereupon said he would
vote for democrat populist, indi.
eating by his manner that he did
not think such were very mum
erous. The remark was frequently
repeated in the Hobbies last evening
as a good hit.

A Fighting Angel of Mercy.

A pretty woman attired In seal
skins and diamonds, bslaboring
bowling expressman with a heavy
whip was sight that attracted hun
dreds of spectators, says the Chi
cago News, to Wabash avenue and
Adams street the other day. A few
moments before the horsewhipping
began the expressman was driving
a poor broken down horse east on
Adams street. His wagon was heav-
lily loaded with household goods,
two or three stoves and a number
of trunks being among the stuff.
The load was almost too great for
the starved looking horse to haul,
and the driver was cursing the poor
brute and belaboring it with heavy
whip at every step. A number of
citizens called to him to stop when
near Wabash avenue, anG for reply
he turned the whip about and used
the handle on the jaded beast. AT
this point a handsome, stylishly
dressed woman ran into the street
and called on the brutal driver to
stop. He paid no attention, and as
his whip descended once more she
seized it and pulled it from his
grasp. He jumped from his wagon
with a curse and a number of men
rushed into the street to interfere.
The young woman, who afterward
gave her name as Miss Warner,
pushed them aside, and with fash
ing eyes and flushed cheeks she
commenced to belabor the express
man over the head with the butt
end of the whip. Once, twice, three
times it fell, and the blood spurted
from deep cuts in his face. Still
she did not desist, and only ceased
when she broke the whip over the
brutal drivers head. Then she
turned and picked up her bundles,
which she had dropped, and the
arrival of a policeman. who allowed
the expressman, bruised and bleed.
ing, to depart, dispersed the crowd.

"Pernicious Political Activity"

President Cleveland removed sew.
eral officials during and since the
Presidential campaign for PERM
cious political activity" The Pres.
ident exhibited considerable discre-
ton in making those removals.
Office holders from Secretary Car,
Isle down, who advocated the
election of Mckinley, were not mo-
Tested, while those who declared for
Bryan were removed on the charge
of pernicious activity in politics.
The Silver men in the Senate do
not like this unjust discrimination
and while ordinarily they have no
disposition to interfere with the
preroga,iyes Of the President, they
think that in cases where men have
been removed for advocating the
silver cause, justice to all demands
an investigation of the charges upon
which the removals were made
Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is
an avowed silver man, has the mat
tor 10 his hands and the indications
are that the Silver Republicans. who
bolted at St. Louis. and the Popu.
lists will stand with the Silver Dem.
ocrats in opposing the confirmation
of gold men appointed by President
Cleveland TO succeed those whom
he removed for supporting Bryan
1t is urged in remonstrances sent
10 the Senate against the contirma
ton Of those appointed that those
removed participated in the cam
paign to no greater extent than did
Secretary Carlisle, Controller Eek
els. Secretary Morton, Postmaster
Hesing ef Chicago and many other
officials. Senator Jones wants the
facts laid before the Senate and
then have tho nominations con.
firmed or rejected. If active par
ticipation in politics is cause fol
removing federal officer the silver
men in the Senate will probably
desire to know Why the rule doel
not apply to those who advocated
the gold standard as we'll as L
those who favored binetallism.

DO SOMETHING Or DIE
silver Must Be Restored to 1ts
Proper Place.
Failing tn Accomplish Such Result the
Republican Party Will He
Thing OF tho Past.

A special to the Salt Lake Tribune
from Washington, January 1st says
"Sllyer must be rshabilitated by the
action Of Republican administration
within the next two years, or the Repub-
lican party will he thing of the past
in the near future"
These are reported to have been
the words of Senator Wolcott in the
Republican caucus subcommittee,
which upon his motion was chosen
to formulate bill for an interna.
tional monetary conference. Sen.
ator Wolcott sails tomorrow for
London. He goes to take a mes
sage to English bimetallists and
investors. That message in briei
is this: If England refuses to join
in restoring silver to its place, En-
gland will be the chief loser by the
certain succeeding action of the
United States. Senator Wolcott
will warn the opponents of bimetat.
lism that they are grossly misin'
formed regarding silver sentiment
in this country. He will tell them
that free coinage in the future is q
certainty. He will inform the bank
ers that the defeat of Bryan was a
scratch which could only have been
accomplished because thousands Of
voters accepted the pledge of the
St. Louis platform that every effort
of the Republican party would be
directed toward securing interna.
tional bimetallism. SenatorWolcot'
will act after. full conference with
Major Mckinley, and will speak 70,
him. 1t is understood that McKin-
ley agrees with Woicott, Hoar and
Chandler that it is of the highest
Importance that English fnaneiers
should be at once informed that
their best interests are involved in
getting out of the wet before the
flood breaks, and that failure to
appreciate public sentiment and
the inevitable will be Of far vaster
damage to England than to any
other country.
The bill for a new international
conference is already prepared. Maj
Mckinley will appoint the commits
sioners. The pledge has been given
that they will be all free coinage
advocates, pure and simple. Sen
ator Wolcott carries to England q
menace and a promise. The menace
is, if England does not join with
the United States and France in re-
storing silver, the United States will
attempt the task alone. The prom
Use is that with proper cooperation
the United States will give full con
sideration to vested interests, 81
called and will not act alone with
out due notice.

GOV. srEUHHNBRRa's MESSAGE.
Many Important Matters Treated BY
Idaho's New Chief Executive.

The first message of Governor
Frank Steunenberg to the fourth
session of the state legislature was
read before that body Tuesday
morning.
Many important matters are
treated in an able manner by Idaho 3
new chief executive.
The lawmakers are urged to use
their best efforts in the interest OF
an economical administration OF
State affairs.
ECONOMY URGED.
The message continues: "Of all
matters that will engage your at
ten,ion as legislators, it will hardly
seem necessary for me to urge that
the strictest economy consistent
with good business methods be OBJ.
served. The demand for retrench-
ment and reform in all matters OF
legislation and administration is
so universal, and the justice of the
demand so patent, that any extend
ed discussion in this paper on this
subject would be superdous. Econ
omy in public affairs in Idaho is no
longer a catch-phrase to beguile the
unwary or subterfuge to mislead,
but is an absolute necessity"
The Governor recommends the
adontion of the Colorado plan to
tax mines and presents strong argu-
ments in support Of the proposition
that he advances.
He favors increasing the revenues
of the State by placing the pro-
ducers of precious metals on the
same plane as other property in
this respect. He asks for taxation
of mines on the Colorado plan,
which takes a percentage of the
gross output in excess OF $1,000 as
the valuation of the mine. "
II can see," he says, mo reason
why the system prevailing in Colo
RADIO should INST obtain in Idaho.
All the changes of the specious ar
gument that it will drive capital
out of the country will be persist
emily rung. A tax on possessing
rights and on the valuation of one
half of the gross output in excess OF
$1,000, would add something like
$5,OOO,O 900 to our valuation. | can
not urge too strongly the necessity
for such increase, to say nothing of
the justice of the matter"
SOLDIER HOME.
The Governor says of the Soldiers
home: Il think it advisable to re-
model the governmental features Of
the home, abolish all the military
clap-trap and shoulder-strap non
sense that pervades the present law,
and provide in it's stead for direct
management on business lines. As
the home is located SO near the
capitol, board of control-com-
posed of State officials could very
we'll take the place of the expensive
trustee system. Give the board
authority to appoint a superintend
ent who shall have complete charge
of the home, with power to appoint
assistants, with the consent of the
board"
Tho message reviews the condi-
ton of the various state institutions
and makes a number eff important
suggestions.

Some Queer Ideas About Finger Nails.

The Japanese have some curious
ideas about their finger nails. One
of them is TO the effect that they
must not be cut before starting on
a journey, lest disgrace tefall the
person before he reaches his desti-
nation. Neither should they be cut
at night, lest cats claws. should
grow ont. To throw rail parings
into the FIRE is TO invite some great
calamity. If, while trimming the
nails, a piece should fall in the fire,
the person will soon die.
