In looking over the co-opera-
tive ticket any one at all familiar
with the situation in the silver Re-
publican camp sees instantly that
Dubois has smashed Sweet. The
Observation-Disclosures combination
was too strong for the Sweet
Borah-Price element, which
shows that ability of the better
order was not influential in effect
ing the deal. The cooperation
existed only between Dubois and
Steunenberg. 1t is difficult to
understand how such men as
Sweet and Borah can tamely sub
NIT to an arrangement which
sounds their political doom. 1t
must be clear to them that, if the
corporation ticket succeed, Du-
bois or Steunenberg will have the
inside track on the senatorship
two years hence. But Dubois
will not figure as silver Repub-
lican. He will, by that time,
have developed into a full fledged
Democrat. Sweet and Borah
will have the distinction of being
the principal representatives of
an obsolete party, or at best, a
surviving political frament of no
greater consequence than long
Taylor's Populists. We should
think the gentlemen would now
come to a full realization of the
humiliating fact that they are to
be put off at flag Station, near
Kuna.

silver Republicans outraged their
consciences in order to secure to
themselves a few Offices. They
prostituted their principles that a
few individuals might draw sal
aries. 1t seems to us that had
these parties been truly sincere
they would have met together IN
Joint convention and arranged a
common platform upon which
both could stand, but there was
not the slightest pretense OF an
effort to harmonic doctrine. They
go forth to the people saying we
are enemies at heart, friends for
the spoils. But they say, we
agree on silver. True. So do
Mohammedans and Christians
agree on the existence of a God,
but they differ radically upon
nearly every other religious tenet
The silver Republicans and Dem
ocrats are no nearer in accord
than are Democrats and silver
Republicans taking their own
scriptures for it.

members of any of the other par.
ties. In fact, they loudly arro-
gate to themselves the only pur-
ity in politics. They have par
ticularly thrived on the assump-
ton that the other parties were
merely Office getting contrivances
and wholly bereft of any decent
political virtue or principle not
stolen from them. The Populist
party, with all its saintlike pro-
fessions, is split wide open on the
rock of office. 1t has destroyed
itself as a political potentially by
quarrelling over the spoils while
the country is lettering on the
brink of destruction. 1t has
brought itself into shame and ridi-
cuIe by wild, greedy scramble
for swag. 1t has kicked over all
the gods of reform at once; thrown
initiative and referendum into the
back yard and buffeted about like
filthy rags the beautiful and re-
sonant drapery of imperative man
date and proportionate represen-
tation. Oh, it is awful, to have
those longitudinal vibrants put to
such ignoble purposes. The ashes
Of Cesar stopping a bung hole is
divine TRANSPORTATION in COMPARE
son. The Populists have talked
much and profoundly about the
imperative necessity Of union of
all the reform forces for the bene-
fit of silver. They have bitterly
chided the other parties because
they hesitatcd to fuse, and charg-
ed on them inordinate lust for
office; yet the Populists them
selves are disrupted over Office.
They have assassinated silver in
quarrelling about congressman.
They abandoned reform to fight
Jim Gum. That is the whole |
story and no amount of quibbling
can hide the disgrace of it. Look
ing at this matter fairly and |
can any intelligent man
still honestly believe that there is
a spark of sincerity in the Popu-
list organization. Individual Pop
ulists may think they are sincere
may imagine that they are de-
voted to principles-but they are
deceived. Their disorder is an
inextinguishable longing for office.
1t has taken such hold upon
them that they imagine the coun-
try will go to the devil unless
they get the office. This sort of
insanity is the dominating inspira-
ton of Populism as was clearly
at the recent con-
vention. Silver is purely means
to an end.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-09-10

The Democrats and Silver Re-
publicans, or faction thereof,
fused. 1t were well, indeed, if
some element except office had
entered into the negotiations.
First the Silver Republicans met
and adopted a creed, setting forth
formally and categorically each
item of their political gospel.
Then the Democrats set forth
their canons. Then without
changing word or syllabel in
their platforms, they cody pro-
Ceeded to a division of the offices.
AS a result, if both be elected.
Edgar Wilson will go to congress
advocating free silver and pro-
lection while Frank Steunenberg
will remain at home to propagate
free trade and free silver, and
this is called cooperation. 1t is
the established belief of all honest
silver Republicans that free silver
without protection would not
bring about a normal degree of
prosperity, and, on the other hand,
the belief of honest Democrats is
that protection is legalized rob-
bery-the enrichment of the few
at the expense Of the many. tits
clear that both Democrats and
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-09-10

bers of people came to the con-
clusion that a terrible wrong was
being committed against human
ity by the Spanish government.
and to right that wrong they laid
aside all differences and united
upon the issue. For the time
political lines were obliterated,
parties were forgotten, and hun
dreds of thousands of men vol
unteered to risk their lives in the
cause of humanity. We are told
by silver men that the demoneti-
cation of the white metal was a
greater crime against humanity
than all the tyranny and Cypress
ion in the history of the world;
that it has cost more money than
all the wars of all time; that it
has caused more misery and want
than all the pestilenCes and fam
ines, and that, unless restored, the
resulting evils will continue to in
crease and multiply until 90 per
cent of the men and women and
children of our country are re-
duced opoverty and rags, slavery
and degradation. If silver men
believed this in very truth and
earnestness, would they not sac
rifiCe as much to avert the i'm
pending calamity as they cheer
fully did to free the Cuban insur-
gents from the yoke of Spain?
We believe they would. If, then,
we find them unwilling to make
the slightest sacrifice in the inter-
est OF silver are we not driven to
the conclusion that their profess
sions are lamentably insincere?
Senator Butler, an accepted au-
thority, has said very recently
that silver would never be re-
until all silver men
were united, and this merely
echoes the repeated expressions
Of all the leaders Of the Populists,
Democrats and silver Republicans
Of this state. Then we are bound
to inquire why the silver forces
failed to unite at Boise when they !
had met there for that express
purpose?

! formation that the borough authorities have
taken no official action in the matter. but it is
thought the concessions asked for by the
railway company will be granted At least
several members of Council, who have been
active in bringing the Traction Company to
terms, express themselves as willing to meet
the former half way in any concessions they
may have to offer.
The recent visit of Manager Ash to Phila-
delphia to consult with the officials of his
company has been productive of results. as
VIII be seen by the notice published in an
other column. Beginning with tomorrow
miners and laborers, regularly employed at
the mines, in going to and returning from
their work, will be carried ON all cars from
the point of their residence to the point of

VIII be welcome news to those residing here
ana down the valley, who have, under the
increased rate of fare, been compelled to pay
ten cents each way.
Inc Traction Company has re-establshed
the cld rate of fare between Ashland and
ullardvllle five cents each way These con-
cessions are all that the borough authorities
OF Ashland have contended for and it is be
heVed that at the next meeting of the Town
council OF that place the ordinances placing
a tax on the polls and cars of the company
will be greatly modified.
While the old rate of fare between the two
points above referred to has been restored,
there has been no reduction between Shenan
doah and Girardvile, except for miners and
Iaoorers going to and returning from their
WORK All others must pay ten cents, or five
cents from here to Lost Creek, and a like
sum from that place to Girard vile. If the
traction Company can afford to carry passen-
gers from Girardville to Gilberton for five
cents there is no reason why the same rate
should not prevail on this branch, and we do
not believe that the people will submit to this
apparent discrimination

Pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Some years ago had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched
condition. procured a bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as before the attack
have recommended it in many cases of pneu-
monia since, and have never known it to fail
in efecting a cure"

tween EnGland and America.
LONDON, March 2s.-The Daily Mall.
under the caption OF "A Voice From the
West" this morning prints a poem by Al.
based on the idea OF sympathy and co..
operation between Great Britain and the
United States. The poem follows:
What Is the voice hear
On the wind OF the Western sea?
Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear.
And say what the voice may be.
IT'S proud. free people calling loud
To people proud and free.
And 1t says to them. Kinsnen. hal.
Now let have done with a worn-out tale.
A tale OF an ancient wrong.
And our friendship last long as love doth
And be stronger than death is strong.
Answer them sons of the self-same race
And blood OF the self-same clan.
Let us speak with each other face to face,
And answer as man to man.
And loyalty love and trust each other
As none but free men can.
Now fling them out to the breeze
Shamrock. thistle and rose,
And the Star-Spangled Banner unfurf with
A mes7a.e to friends and foes.
Wherever the calls Of peace are seen
And wherever the war wind blows
A message to bond and thrall to wake.
For wherever we come. We twain.
The throne OF the tyrant shall rock and
quake.
For you are lords Of strong. young land.
And we are lords OF the main.
The final verse. which is not cabled. re-
echoes the second.
