but observe that he is now making
entirely too much noise for man
whose silence was so oppressive
when his services were needed in
1896. His uncalled for disturb
ance at this time will not win any
additional confidence to him from
silver republicans.
Mr.. Sweet is an able man. We
shall now see whether he is a great
man. If he allows his personal
ambition to stand in the way of
the success of his party, and of the
silver cause, as this critical time,
he will demonstrate that he is a

state the argument of the silver re-
publicans for bimetallism with
great force. He has placed him.

not of the head.

THE McKinleyites in Idaho
year ago proclaimed they were just
as good silver men as anybody.
Many voters were deceived by their
pretensions and followed them to
the poles. Now the leaders of the
party say they once believed in free
coinage of silver, but have changed
their minds. The voters who were
deceived a year ago will follow
them no move-at least large
numbers of them will not. But
what care the leaders? They made
themselves solid with Hanna and
secured the pie they were after, and
the voters that followed them can
go to the ID for ought of them.

Sweets Bad Break.

When goldbug newspapers of
Idaho quote the utterances of a
silver republican approvingly, it
can be depended upon that that
silver republican has said or done
something inimical to the best in
terest of the party as whole. 1t
has already developed that the
goldbugs have inaugurated a policy
of deception and confusion to try
TO break the silver republican lines,
for by such policy alone have
they hopes.
At the present time these gold
bug newspapers are crowding their
editorial columns with quotations
from Willis Sweet, and with favor
able comments thereon. 1t is a
fair surmise, therefore, that Mr..
Sweet has, in some manner, been
playing into their hands, and the
prominence they have given the
subject leads to the further conclu-
sion that he has done them no
small favor.
1t is we'll, therefore, for earnest,
sincere, silver republicans to in
vestigate this Subject and arrive at
a clear understanding of the matter.
To get at the facts, it is necessary
to state that the goldbugs obtained
their campaign thunder from a
four-column editorial recently APP
pearing in the columns of the Mos
COW Double Standard and from
the pen of Mr.. Sweet. The sub
stance of that lengthy article con-
sisted of childish attacks upon
former Senator Dubois and the
formal launching of Mr.. Sweets
own senatorial boomlet, as q candi-
date to succeed Senator Shoup, al.
though that election is still nearly
three years off.
But it was Mr.. Sweets attacks
upon Senator Dubois that ticklec

to down Dubois" is a companion
to their rallying cry of anything
for office" They will pat Mr.
Sweet on the back and tell him h,

Silver Republican Resolutions

The Silver Republican state CEN
trail committee at its meeting at
Boise, March l ,adopted the following
resolutions defining the position of
the party upon certain questions of
present importance:
The following resolutions were adopted:
''The silver republicans of Idaho renew
their allegiance to the principles of BIZ
metallism. They appeal to the record of
the present administration as a vindica-
ton of their judgment in rejecting the
platform adopted at st. Louis. 1t has
now been demonstrated that the promise
made favoring international bimetallism,
and to which many republicans chung as
last hope, were meaningless.
"The secretary of the treasury, who is
charged with formulating and sustaining
the financial policy of the administration,
not only did not sustain the efforts of the
abroad, but through daily utterances,
widely published, declared that this coun-
try was firmly committed to the gold
standard, and that the object of this adj
ministratiOn was to so firmly establish the
single gold standard that it could not be
shaken in the future. The president i'm
proved the first conspicuous opportunity
TO sustain the utterances of his secretary

ported him. This action on the part OF
the administration makes the issue clear

of bimetallism.

metallism to be the paramount issue il
American politics, and vital beyond al
issues, because upon its success depends
the just solution of the financial question
and the political, social and business free
dom of the people; therefore,
Resolved, That we cordially indors'
the recommendations made by the nation
al chairmen of the silver republican, demo
cratic and populist committees for con
certed action on the part of all true bi
metallists; and. be it further
Resolved, That, in line with the rec
concentrations. of the national chairmen
we urge a union of the voters in Idah
who believe in bimetallism and a jus

around which inevitably cluster the ma
terial hopes of the people.
eve welcome the women of the stat
TO the ranks of eligible voters, and cal

PENITENTIARY NO PLACE
FOR YOUNG OFFENDERS
So the State Prison Directors Decide
in the Case Of Lad at

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Oct. s.
Never was the awful mistake on the part
of the courts in sending youthful Grim
inals to a State penitentiary better illus
trated than at the monthly meeting of
the Board of Prison Directors to-day
when Chaplain brahms personally ap-
peared and begged that 17-year-old
Charles Kelly be transferred to the lone
Reform School. The boy is a cripple,
and is serving a sentence of seven years
for burglary committed in San Francisco.
This lad is entirely too young to be
IN San Quentin declared the chaplain.
Il am convinced that he is good at heart,
and, If removed from the communicating
influences by which he is now surrounded
and placed where he can learn a trade,
will in time develop into a useful citi-
zen. 1t is a shame that he was ever sent

Warden Hale warmly seconded this
opinion, and the four members of the
board present, Director Devlin being the
absentee, were yisibly affected by the APP

hand available for sale, and enough jute
to last until next May. The price has
been reduced to Az cents bag. The bids
for jute were laid over indefinitely, as
several bidders appeared before the
board and said the scarcity of vessels
at Calcutta delayed shipments. They said
the price of jute had risen, but that it
was of better quality than usual.

WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-To-day's ses-

was devoted largely to the consideration
