On the 18th of last month at Bry-
ans old home in Marion county H.
linois, the Populists Of that county
held their county convention. Al
most to man they were admirers
of Billy Bryan. The meeting was
in the very room where they heard
Mr.. Bryan make his first political
speech. Personally they loved him
as height Dor and friend, The ques
ton before the convention was flu
sion or no fusion. There was no lack
of democrats present to espouse the
fusion cause. But the parting of the
ways had come They we'll knew the
difference Billy Bryan and the old
willy democratic machine, and they
were not there to endorse it over his
shou ders because he was their
friend. They wanted all the world
to know the diff ference between be
tween William jennings Bry an and
the ring-rotten, boss ridden hypo
crital democracy that for years has
consumed and helped consume tht
vitality OF this nation. They wanted
the world to know that whereve.
the old machine had dominated
misery, poverty, bonds usury, cor
ruption had, like hideous night
mares, stalked up and down at Its
heels. They wanted the world te
know that while they loved and re.
yered good man, they could no.
endorse his zeal to reform part,
whose machinery was in the hands
of a vile set of plunderers and cor
ruptionists. They inserted sevet
ringing planks, each of itself pub
fishing to the world most poten
reason why we could not entrus
the liberty and prosperity of tbs
American people to the old mothe
democracy, who appear docile anc
harmless as the tiger until the lamt

Palouse Branch To Be Built

1t is said to be an assured fact
now that the Palouse branch will
be extended up the Clearwater as
far as Evans ferry this summer.

the route for the last week, begin

The building of the road up to Ev-

settles the route to be taken to the
Camas Prairie country, which will
be through Big Canyon from the
river, thon through Little Canyon
to the Prairie, following natural
route that crosses Lawyers Canyon
and enters the Camas Prairie
country. This route is considered
the shortest and best, as 1t passes
through territory that is capable

EDITOR REPoRP.-Since last writ
ing you our experience has heen
varied to say the least.
Wednesday evening May 4th the
Company marched out and Joined
a long procession passing through
the principal streets of the city.
Music by the band cheering by the
great crowds gathered along the
way made us think we were of some
Importance,
After marching through the
principal streets we marched into
a vacant lot and listened to num-
Der of short addresses by promin-
ent men of Lewiston among them
being Hon. B, f. Morris,
After the speaking the g. A, R.
presented US with flag which was
received amid the widest enthu-
siasm.
The next thing in order was
supper, prepared by the Grand
Army post of Lewiston, to which
we all did justice. The supper
being over the floor was cleared
when those who were go inclined
tripped their hearts content.
Thursday morning bright and
early preparations were begun for
our trip down the river on the
boat.
The brass band again turned out,
stores all closed up and everybody
was out to see us off. After a
touching and impressive prayer by
the regimental chaplain the Rev
NcConkey we marched aboard the
Almota where we were photo
graphed when the boat turned down
,.ream and amid cheering of the
crowds on shore and the hip, hir
lurrah Of the boys we passed down
he river and out of sight
Our trip down the river was
without incident excepting a few
RATS that were blown overheard by
the wind.

All along the line the firing c
cannon and every conceivable forr

and literally covered the pavemen
with fragments of fire crackers

The rafting and roaring made
utterly impossible to hear the bras
bands playing the national air.

IN THE HOUSE.
Adroit Diplomacy In Preventing a
Debate On Cuba.

Washington, Jan. Alt was the in
tention of the house managers to pro-
coed with the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill today, but owing to
the excited condition of affairs in Ha-
vana and the wildly exaggerated re-
ports afoat, they decided to avoid the
possibility of opening up a Cuban de-
bate by relinquishing the day TO the
committee on claims in charge of bills
on the private calendar. Before this
order was entered upon, the agricul-
tural bill was passed.
The resolution accepting the invita-
ton of the government of Norway to
participate in the international fisheries
exposition at Bergen from May to Sep
TENDER, 1898, was called up by Mr..
Simpkins (Rep., Mass.). Mr. Cannon,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, said that he thought the expo
sition question in congress was running
wild. We had had international expo
sitions at Philadelphia, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, New Orleans, Atlanta and
Nashville. and we were now about to
have one at Omaha. Now here comes
the exposition at Bergen. Twenty thou
sand dollars to be appropriated now.
If this resolution passed congress would
be called to foot the bill for a deficiency
of $4,000
Mr. Dolliver Rep., la thought we
would not in the next decade partici-
pate in an exposition which would be
of more practical value to the United
States. The resolution was adopted
Another resolution was adopted. on
motion of Mr.. Perkins (Rep, la. di-
recting the director of the geological
survey to prepare and have printed 49,
900 copies of a map of Alaska, showing
the most feasible routes to the gold
fields.
Most of the day was consumed in a
flibuster against a bill to pay the pub
fishing house of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, South. at Nashville, Tenn,
S2SS, 000 on account of seizure and use
of property of that corporation during
the war This took up the time until 5
O'Clock, when the house adjourned.

Reno Journal: Lompey, the man
who was Knocked out with piece of
scantling in the hands OF young Jones
at Vinton, Sierra Valley, Thanksgiving,
visited Jones' house near Chat a few
days ago and asked to see man
named Adams The latter came to the
door and after a few minutes converse
ton Adams pulled g. gun and bored a
couple of holes in Lompey's anatomy,
the wounds causing death a day or
two later 1t was reported yesterday
that the Swiss in the valley were quite
demonstrative and it was believed that
an attempt would be made to lynch
Adams last night, but up to a late hour
nothing could be learned. From re-
ports there seems to be something out
there in the nature of a neighborhood
feud and it is likely to end in serious
trouble.
Captain Coryell of Virginia, who was
sentenced by the court martial to dis
missal from the military service of
Nevada, will, it is said, commence civil
proceedings to set aside the judgment
of the military court. 1t was discovered
at Reno that several sets of the har-
ness used by battery A, n. n. g.,
were cut up in such a manner as to
make them next to worthless. The
party or parties who committed this
deed are unknown, but suspicion rests
on some of the privates who were SEN
fenced to dismissal from the battery.
The matter has been reported to Colo
mel Lord and an investigation insti-
tuted. There is considerable feeling on
the Comstock over the result of the
court martial.
