Oshkosh Northwestern: We are
too apt to forget after election the
principles in which.we were most
interested before election.- This is a
year and an occasion when the par
ty must not, and the people Will not,
forget the pledges Oh which the re-
publican victory was won.this year.
The people who rolled up 10000 ma
iority for the state ticket aud elected
ten republican congressman and a
republican majority in the legisla
ture are entitled 10 have the policy
and the legislation carried out for
which they voted. IF there is any
virtue in representative government
it is that the will of :pcople shall
pass through the ballot box Into the
statute books. No party can hold
the full confidence of the people
which makes the will of the people
mere Office brokerage. II was not
for offices, but for certain principles
and for the enactment of certain re-
forms aud more agreeable policies
that the people voted at the last
election. We have never held AN
election IN the state when the office
or the individual who should hold
the office cut SO small IL figure in the
suiIrages OF the people. The repub-
liyan party had pledged itself to
abolish the issuance Of railway
passes To public officials. 1t had
promised to undertake such lecisla-
tion as should require the great
transportation corporations to pay
more equitable proportion Of taxa
ton. It had promised to do what
was possible to abolish the lobby
system about the capitol during the
sessions of the legislature

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making u better
article than your competitor if you
can not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our profits
are smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brough; prom
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass judgment on
them and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always
be depended upon. They may oc-
casionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with ex-
aggerated claims, but are certain to
return to the one remedy they know
is reliable, and for coughs, colds and

CATS GETTING OUT.
The Governors Doings Cause
Comment.
His Little Political Machine Does Not
Grind TO Suit-Cassia County Roar
ing About Her Grist.

Cats will get out of the bags in
the best regulated political fami-
lies. Under the head, "Politics
and Perfdity," the following arti-
Gle appeared in the Oakley Sun!
The other day when the members of
the Genesee militia company made an
energetic kick to the governor about
having their captain transferred, his
excellency remarked, Il have tried to
arrange this matter satisfactorily, po-
liticaily and otherwise" The Sentinel
would like to know what in the name
of the gods politics has got to do with
this war anyhow. Why should the gov
ernor try to arrange" these matters
politically? Merit and Fitness should
be the standards by which all men
should be tried at this time, even
though the political pull of Frank
Cornwall of Moscow had to be ignored.
The above is from the Boise
Sentinel of May 10. And in con-
sidering the extract it must be re-
membered that the Sentinel was
one of the papers that advocated
the demo-Pop ticket in the last
election. The words ascribed to
the governor, 81 have endeavor-
ed to arrange this matter politi-
calIy'' undoubtedly throws some
light on the appointment of E. M.
Holden as second lieutenant.
Frank Riblett was known as an
ardent silver republican. AS such
he was opposed to the demo- pop
organization of this county. This
demo-pop organization is known
to thoroughly hate every promi-
nent man that has in the past OPP
posed them, and it looks as if in
this instance they were able to
have their hatred bear fruit.
Now let us see what they over
come in knocking Riblett out and
then see if it can be ascribed to
anything except demo-pop politi-
cal action. In the first place Rib
lett was the choice of a large ma
jority of the recruits from this
county, as well as the minority of
our citizens. He was also en-

dorsed by Col. Wood the recruit
ing officer from this county, who
went to the governor at Boise
and explained the situation to him
and told him it was the desire of
the boys as well as of our citizens
that Riblett be appointed. In
addition to this Riblett's republi-
can and silver republican friends
at Boise did what they could to
have the wishes of the people of
Cassia county carried out but
without avail. A private letter
received in this county from
prominent citizen of Boise con-
tains the following: GAS to
Frank, all pressure at our COM
mand was brought to bear on the
governor for his benefit and the
company almost unanimously
asked for his appointment and
assurances were given that he
would be second lieutenant, but
this military organization seems
to have been handled on political
lines and there was not much
show for any one unless backed
by a strong democratic pull"
For democratic" read "demo-
pop" and you have the matter
more correctly stated as referring
to this matter. We hold that it is
shame and disgrace to our
state and county that an appoint
ment of this kind is given out on
the say so of democratic politi-
clans, or any other kind of politi-
clans.
The people of Albion are hot
on account of the treatment &C
corded their fellow townsman
Frank Riblett. Even Col. Wood
who is supposed to belong to the
faction that succeeded in getting
Holden in, is loud in his denunci-
alton of the wrong dene to Mr..
Riblett. The Colonel used what
influence he had to get Riblett
appointed, but there was some
body with a greater pull that got
the ear of the governor. Who
ever did it is keeping in the dark
SO far. The public would like to
know who it was.
