The Pennsylvania Meets Competition.

The Pennsylvania Meets Competition.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
announced that. beginning next Monday
tickets will be sold from New York to Chi
cago via Washington, with a ten-day stop
over privilege at the national capital at the
same rate now charged for the direct route
This will be reduction of 81 and the cut
will be made in order to meet competition
in this direction by the Baltimore & Ohio
and the Chesapeake & Ohio roads At Chi
cago and at all points between that city
ana Columbus tickets for New York will
De SOLD with the same privilege. On the
eastward trip a stop-over is also allowed in
Philadelphia. The PENNSYLVANIA road will
also sell tickets from New York to Pitts
purs WIN stop-oVer at Washington at a
rate OF $l2 90 and from Philadelphia to
Plttsburg, by the same route, at $11.50
Representatives of the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road Company, the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Company and the Philadelphia q Read
ing railway Company met in Philadelphia
yesterday, and for several hours the condi-
ton OF the business there and at Baltimore
was gone into. The Reading officials said
the meeting was purely an informal one,
ana without interest to any one but the
railroads concerned 1t was subsequently
learned that the meeting was called to try
and bring about a restoration of freight
rates on West-bound business from Phila-
delphia, in which all the roads were inter
ested, ard from Baltimore in which the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio were
concerned. Baltimore & Ohio official said
nothing had been done, but there had been
general exchange of opinions, all of which
would no doubt have a good effect at the
proper time. It appears, however, that the
meeting was principally for the purpose of
creating harmony among the three roads,
and for the maintaining of freight rates.
For some time past the freight situation on
west-bound business has been in deplor-
able condition. especially on loW-claSs
freight, and an effort is now being made to
bring about a restoration of these rates.

That means 3o,ooo,ooo weeks
which at $40 per week amounts
to the enormous sum of three
hundred million dollars. That is
only a small portion of the loss
For six months before an election
and for one month after the entire
newspaper force of the country
talks nothing, thinks nothing but
politics. If those seven months
were devoted to educational mat
tiers, what marvelously enlight-
ened world this would become.

There would be no courts, no

poor would become the night
mares of dark electioneering
past. People would have three
Sundays a week and use silks
and broadcloths. And to think
that all this could be brought
about by holding elections every
quarter century instead Of bien-
nially. But, Lord bless us, how
much solid fun we would all miss.
Aye, there's the rub.

HAS KEPT FAITH.

The regeneration of the country
which has taken place during the
past IS months under Republican
rule can best be appreciated by
comparing present conditions with
those which existed under the
Democratic administration that
ended March 4, 1897. During
the four years Immediately pre-
ceding that date, the chronic and
constitutional incapacity for gov
erning which is the chef charact-
eristic of the Democratic party,
was manifest as never before.
By the enactment of that
stupendous failure known as the
Wilson bill, the mills and factor

les Of the country were compelled
to stop work, industry was par
alyzed, insufficient revenue was
secured, the national debt was
needlessly increased by hundreds
of millions Of dollars, and conf
dence in the business world was
utterly destroyed, The country,
in every respect, was IN a lament
able condition when the Republi-
cans came into power.
Yet within The space Of two
years ali this has been changed
Republicanism resumed its old
job Of national housekeeping, the
country and its affairs were
speedily put in order, energy and
wisdom supplanted slothfulness
and folly, and we are again on
paying basis. The Republican
party has kept its promises, has
maintained faith with the people,
and has once more demonstrated
that it IS able to graPple with any
emergency and guide the Union
into the path that leads to plenty
and prosperity.

mistake for the people to now
elect Congress that would
hamper and oppose the President.
Mr.. Hepburn would have more
influence and could accomplish
more than either of the other

Elect Hepburn.

The time when voters blindly
voted with party, regardless of
the fitness of men or correctness
of policy has gone by, especially
in Idaho. The people of the
state have it entirely within their
power to elect their brainlest man
to Congress, Hon. w. B. Hey
burn, and at no greater expense
of time or effort than is required
to go to the polls on Nov. s and
vote for him. His course has been
consistent and in full accord with
President McKinley's admins
tration. There is too much at
stake. To turn such able men
down at this time would be a loss
to Idaho. No public good can re-
suit from the election this year o.
a Congress opposed to President
Mckinley. The condition of the
country is now better than it wa,
before Mckinley took his pres
ent position, and the condition
will continue to improve if the

THE RICH.

The life blood of Populism is
war upon the rich. II lives and
has its being in an effort to des-
troy wealth wherever found. Any
man who has been so unfortunate
as to have accumulated a little
money by frugality and industry
is an outlaw in the eyes Of this
class. It is a foregone conclusion
among orthodox Populists that all
wealthy men acquired their riches
by thievery and evil practices and
consequently ought to be annihi-
lated. Why this hatred Of the
rich we are unable to conclude
unless it be a feeling of anarchy
and socialism that is gaining root
among the poorer classes of this
country. 1t is undoubtedly true
that some rich men have acquired
wealth by unscrupulous methods.
But are there no thieves and
scoundrels among the poor? Why
should we hate the rlch2 Be-
cause they have been industrious
and saving? They never stole
anything from us. They merely
saved what we squandered. 1t is
time we poor people were get
ing a little sense on this subject.
Infinite wisdom has ordained that
there shall be some poor, some
comfortable, some well-to-do and
some rich. 1t is a natural and
devine law and we can no more
change and escape it than we can
change the face of the universe
or escape in old age the conse-
quence of youthful follies. Who
is it that supports the hundreds
of charitable institutions in our
great cities? Do you know that
in nearly every large city in this
country there are regularly or
ganized societies composed of the
very wealthiest that systemati-
cally support thousands of poor
and unfortunate? We have no
business to hate the rich because
they are rich, but if man en-
ploys his riches for wicked pur-
poses, then we ought to dispise
him and thank God we are not
like unto that man. But we tell
you there are good rich men and
there are noble, highminded and
most estimable poor men; and
there are rascals in all classes.
Neither poverty nor riches make
the man, Nature or Natures God
did that.

INVESTIGATE


OF late it has been frequently
said that the coming election, in
this county, would turn more
upon men than measures; that
the merits Of Candidates would
have more to do with their sue
cess than the policy OF the party
to which they belonged. II would
seem that the Republicans have
provided wisely for this contin :
gency; they have put up q ticket
unexceptional in every respect;
they have nominated men which
should curry the county on merit
alone, if unsupported by any po-
litical faith. 1t is needless here to
name them and call particular at
tention to their individual virtues
the whole ticket is representative
of the highest and best citizenship
of our county But beyond all
that is something which appeals
to the enlightened interest and
patriotism Of voters, The Canyon
county ticket is physical en-
blcm Of the grand principles of
Republication. The men on that
ticket were placed there, first, be-
cause they were Republicans, and,
second, because their characters,
as men, and lives as citizens en-
tile them to the respect and con
fidence of their peers. 1t seems
to us that the voters of Canyon
county will commit very grave
error if they fail to place the man
agement Of county affairs in the
hands of the Republican party.
The year and half of Demo
Populist rule that this county has
undergone ought to convince
thinking people that these parties
are incapable of conducting pub
lie affairs to the betterm ent of the
taxpayers. 1t ought to impress on
the minds Of voters that they must
place the handling of their affairs
in the hands of mCSuwllo are com
petent and capable of using sound
business judgment and common
sense. This county has endured
nearly two years of reform and
retrenchment and is in a worse
condition today than it has ever
been since the county was organ
lied. We believe the great ma
jority of the people of this county
are satisfed-satisfied that the
past year and half of "referm"
is failure and should not be con-
tinued. Think this over when
you 90 into the seclusion of the
voting booth on the 9th day of
November and pass your verdict
according to the facts and evil
dence.

FAILURE OF JACOB BALDNER.
Ruined by the state of Minnesota Co.
ing Into the COrdage Business.

CINCINNATI, o.. Aug. 4.-Among the
first cases under the, new bankruptcy law
was the voluntary petitlonin bankruptcy of
Jacob Baldner, of Xenia, o., filed here to-
day in the United States Circuit Court. Mr..
Baldner gives his total liabilities at 1854, 900,
of which $2500O0 is to the Drake Realty
Company, of st. Paul, Mimi; Salie Rogers
and A. M. Drake, of st. Paul. Mimi, are
put down as entitled to $500. Mr.. Baldner's
assets are stated to be nothing.
ST. PAUL. MINI, Aug 4.--Jacob Baldner
came to this city about seven years ago
from xenia, o.. to accept the position of
superintendent in the newly organized
Northwestern cordage works, one of the
largest concerns of the kind in the country.
Besides his official connection with the COM
pany Mr.. Baldner invested largely in it.
Business prospered some time till the State
went into the cordage business, buying
plant and putting the convicts in the State
prison at Saltwater to work on it. This
was too much for the cordage works in
this city, which soon went into the hands
Of a receiver. This failure crippled Mr..
Baldner to such an extent he has been UNI
able to recover, and 1t also seriously i'm
paired the financial standing of several
Northwestern capitalists One of the Off
GERS of the company committed suicide by
jumping off the high bridge in this city
some five wears ago.

culiar character and disposition She has
able woman and has taken great interest
and an active part in public affairs. But
the people will never cease to regard her
as a foreigner. an alien in whom they have
no interest and who has no interest in
them, and she has been so imDrudent as TO
invest her surplus income in Austria in
stead of Spain.
Since her husbands death the character
radically changed for she is moralist of
the strictest type. She revoked conces-
sion her husband had given for gambling
resort at Huelva. 1t was to be a second
Monte Carlo and the crown was TO receive
a large royalty as a rake off" but she
wouldn't touch the money. and ordered the
place to be closed. It is now hotel.
Under her reign the court has been as
serious as that of Queen Victoria. No man
or woman with a tainted name has been al
lowed to hold office or visit the palace If
she could have her way. She has never at
tended q bull fight, which, is the national
sport of Spain, and. much to the indignation
of the people, has pronounced it cruel and
barbarous The invitation lists of her balls
and banquets are scanned with the closest
scrutiny. in order that the seal of her con-
domination might be fastened upon those
whose lives are rot such as she believes
should be led by the attendants of a Chris
tian court. Her mother-in-law. the ex-
Queen Isabella. dares not go to Madrid. and
her sister-in-law the Infanta Eulalia, is
very seldom seen there, because the re-
straints are too great for her frivolous dis
position.

The Real Prince of Wales.


Here is an instance that came within my
personal knowledge. A few years ago an
attempt was made by certain philanthrop-
lists to influence the sovereign of a CONT
mental nation in favor of a certain class of
his people who were suffering from i'll treat
ment. which was not knoWn-so ii was be-
leved-to the sovereign in question. Cir
cumstances so complicated the matter that
the mere study of the facts so as to grasp
the situation, was no mean test of any
mans abilities. The prince sent for the
person concerned in the negotiations and lis
tened Acknowledgements without taking a
notc-to long statement bristling with tee
technicalities and side issues. Shortly after
wards his Royal Highness again sent for
his informant. and read to him a lengthy
letter, of at least dozen pages addresses
to the Princess of Wales who happened at
the time to be staying at court where the
sovereign concerned was also guest. This
letter was a mastery description of the
whole situation without emitting one essen
tial point or including an irrelevancy, and
was, in short. document that indicated an
endowment of memory and intellect given
to few professional lawyers or statesmen
When the special request involved was
granted no one knew that to the Prince of
Wales was due the gratitude of those he
had secretly helped. 1t may be added that
this episode took place at Homburg where
the prince is not generally believed to de-
vote himself to secret and laborious phi
lanthropy. The incident is only one Of a
number.

Water Company and MOnOn Road at
Outs Over 1t.


AS the result of a misunderstanding be-
tween the indianapolis Water Company and
the Monon Railway Company, concerning
the latters bridge over the canal at Broad
Ripple, a temporary restraining order was
yesterday made by Judge Harvey, of the
Superior Court. The order is to operate
against the railway company
The trouble between the two corporations
grows out of the attempt of the railway
company to drive piles. Wednesday after
noon, under its bridge over the canal at
Broad Ripple. Wednesday night employees
of the water company removed the piles
that had been driven during the after
noon. Immediately the railway company
put down more piles, and early yesterday
morning the water company cut them out
again. When the railroad company tried It
a third time the water company procured
the arrest of the foreman and gang and had
them put under bond. r. A. w. Davis, of
the water company. with gang Of men,
kept watch on the canal bank while the
railroad men were at work. Early. yester-
day morning, when 1T was seen that the
railroad company meant business ana
water company went into the Superior
Court and had a temporary injunction
granted. At o'clock this morning the
the injunction dissolved.
The water company contends that when
the railway company was granted permits
sion to build a bridge over the canal, it
agreed not to put in pile bridge The
water company contends that this would,
in a way obstruct the flow of water, and
would be a violation of the companys
agreement. Recently the railroad company
found it necessary to repair the bridge. and
on Wednesday began driving piles into the
canal. The water company contends that
the railroad company's agreement calls Tor
span bridge while the Monon people
contend that they can repair the bridge In
any way they see fit. 4
