Reports Regarding Change In the
Command OF the Army.
Adjutant General Corbin says the report
that he may be called to the command Of
the army is absurd. as the law Of promo
ton and command practically precludes
such a thing. "The commander of the
army" says Gen. Corbin, will always be
taken from the major generals of the army
or as reward to some general of the line
greatly distinguishing himself in battle
This will not be departed from. No more

PAY OF SOLDIERS.
The Yearly Salaries Paid Uncle Sam S
Defenders.

The pay that the troops who have
just now entered the service Of the
federal govern nent will receive is a
matter of interest. In the case Of
privates and most non commission
ed officers it appears small to the
average civilian, but it must be re-
membered that the troops are board
ed and clothed and receive medical
attendance free. Few excuses for
legitimate expenditure Of money
remain. The officers of the army
are well paid. The pay of the vol
unteer army is the same as for the
regular army.
The following is the pay per year
of all the officers commissioned or
to be commissioned by Governor

THE goldbugs in Kootenai coun-
ty have played their trump card
and failed. They offered the demo-
Gratis everything in sight except
the auditor and two commissioners
if they would come to their assis-
lance. Only some two or three
democrats in Kootenai county
could be found who were so per
verted as to accept the bride, and
they could not deliver the goods, -
so the scheme has been declared
"of" since the meeting of the demo-
cratic county central committee.

Silver Republican Resolutions.

The Silver Republican state cen.
trail committee at its meeting at
Boise, March 1,adopted the following
resolutions defining the position of
the panty 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.
"Ihe 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
monetary commission while that body was
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 ad-
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
60 sustain the utterances of his secretary;
indeed. had, by his silence, always sup
ported him. This action on the part of
the administration makes the issue clear.
snd no voter can consistently sustain the
present administration at the polls, and
at the same time be faithful to the cause
of bimetallism.
eve declare the reinstatement of BIZ
netallism to be the paramount issue in
American politics. and vital beyond all
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 indorse
the recommendations made by the nation
81 chairmen of the silver republican, demo
cratic and populist committees for con
certed action on the part of all true BIZ
Ketallists and, be it further
Resolved, That. in line with the rec
concentrations of the national chairmen
we urge a union of the voters in Idaho
who believe in bimetallism and a iust
measure of value as the vital principl,
sround which inevitably cluster the ma
terial hopes of the people
Owe welcome the women of the stat,
60 the ranks of eligible voters, and cal
their attention to the fact that the silve
republican party was among the first t.
pronounce in favor of extending the fran
chise. We recommend that the organiza
ton be extended throughout the severa
counties that the women of the state ma,
be thoroughly represented in the organi
Iation of the party and we cordially in
Vite them to affiliate with the silver repub
lican party.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse tn
proposition to secure a proper representa-
tion Of the state at the International an

Lying.

It was said of Dr. Johnson that he always talked as though he were talk ing an oath. He detested the habit of iying or prevaricating in the slightest degree and would not allow his sery. ants to say he was not at home if he was "A servants strict regard for the truth, said he, must be weakened oy such practice If accustom my servant to tell lie for me, have I not reason to apprehend that he will tell them for himself?" A strict adherence to truth the doctor considered as a sa- cred obligation; and in relating the smallest anecdote he would not allow himself the minutest addition to en- bellish his story.

NO TRAIN IN FIVE DAYS.
H,0h Waters, Washouts, Landslides and Wrecks Cause Much Trouble.

The first train to arrive from the north over the Pittsburg & Gulf did .o, reach here tlll nearly o'clock Sun. aov afternoon and that train had been on the road south since the Tuesday previous, or five days. ltwas the first train to arrive here or to bring any mail from the north in five days and our people experience much inconveni- ence from the delay. This train came over it's own track as far as Sallisaw. exnecting to run into Fort Smith over tbe Missouri Pacific railroad and then over the Frisco to Poteau. It, howev- or. was compelled to retrace it's steps, AS bridge was washed out between sallisaw and Fort Smith, and returned to Gulfton, Mo-. where it took the Frisco track to Monett and from there across Arkansas to Fort Smith and Pc. teau, connecting at the last named place for Mena. This train did not bring any late mail matter, but in about halt an hour another train ar rived, bringing a big mall and late news.
 Passengers on these trains report floods and serious loss of property in all directions to the north of here. At Fort Smith the river bottoms were covered ten miles in width from one to ten feet deep, and the loss in crops. fences and stock within radius of ten miles of that place was estimated as being not less tban s1, O0n, 000
 On last Monday it was reported that the morning train from the north would reach here during the afternoon but as the time drew near for it's ar rival message was received announc- ing that the south bound cannon ball over the Frisco was wrecked between Fort Smith and Poteau and that our train was behind the wreck, conse- quently could not reach us for an ir- definite period of time.
