REFRIGERATION

The political remains of Fred
Dubois have been placed on ice
and deposited in the cooler. Mr..
Jones, Chairman of the Democra-
tic National Committee, says that
he does not wish to be under
stood as in any way suggesting
to the Democrats Of Idaho the
ACCESSIBILITY of supporting Mr..
Dubois; and Charles H. Jackson,
member of the State executive
committee, has been instructed
to state emphatically that under
no circumstances would the
Democrats support the unhappy
renegade. The Populists cordial
ly, and with good reason, detest
Mr.. Dubois, and the Silver Re-
publicans have practically given
him the grand bounce, so the poor
fellow is out in the bitter cold with
out hope and without consolation
save such as he may derive from
contemplation of a few shivering
wretches who, partaking of his
vices, are now sharing in his mis-
cry. We have now probably
heard the last of Mr.. Dubois as
an advocate of the union of silver
forces. The silver forces may
scatter and go to the devil for all
he cares. A union that does not
involve support of Fred Dubois
for the United States Senate is a
union that Fred Dubois has no
earthly use for. And, as a mat
:er of fact, his feeling upon the
subject is a reflex of the feelings
which animates majority of the |
silver unionists. /

WAIT a WHILE.

Lieutenant Peary, lecturing on
the Arctic regions, says that he
felt no more inconvenience from
cold, in the dead of winter at the
most northern point of Green
land, than is experienced in win
ter in the temperate zone. This
shows the adaptability of the Ang-
To- Saxon race to every climatic
condition and should remove any
fear of suffering, on account of
cold, from those who contemplate
going to Alaska. However, this
should not occasion any particular
haste or anxiety to get there, be-
cause there are other things than
cold to contend with and which
make life in the gold fields of
Alaska anything but pleasant.
The solitude of the long Arctic

did not know the American
people, and possibly never will
appreciate them until she has re-
ceived at their hands a drubbing
from which she can never recover.
1t is really amusing to note the
changed tone of the Spanish press,
Its grandiloquence, its supersciI-
iousness, its war-fain spirit are all
gone, and its voice is as melan-
choly as the bleat of a lamb in the
embrace of a coyote. How the
Cuban insurgents must rejoice
when they hear the proud Castil-
ians wall?

THE unity and patriotism mani
tested by the Congress of the
United States in promptly voting
fifty millions for National defense,
without a dissenting voice was a
startling revelation to the Span
ish grandees, and their insolence
has suddenly subsidized. Spain
had mistaken our family contro-
versies for serious national rup-
lures, and expected to find in us
a contentious and reasonable
people, ready to jump at each
others threats, tear down our own
flag, or at best give it but feeble
and indifferent support. Spain

THE WHY OFT.

Some of the State papers
laboring as we think under mis-.
apprehension, are disposed to re-
greet that the Republican State
committee did not adopt resolu-
tons endorsing the Omaha ex-
position scheme. 1t should be re-
membered that the present COM
mittee is the creature of the last
State convention. 1t has no auth
orlty to construct platforms or
promulgate doctrines. There is
no mention of the Omaha exposi-
ton in the Republican platform,
State or National, and, therefore.
the committee had no right to
either endorse or condemn it in
the name of the Republican party.
Furthermore, the refusal of the
last legislature to have ANYTHING
to do with the exposition, removes
1t IRON the field of political action,
The effort of private individuals

shall be,,representedis perfectly le-
Ultimate. This is very free coun-
try in which people may contrib
ute to private enterprises as gen.

The purchase by this Govern
ment of two Brazilian war vessels
which were builded in England,
is a striking argument against the
policy of those Democratic states
men who are forever protesting
against increasing our navy. For
years the ship builders of this
country have been thoroughly
equipped for producing first
class, modern battle ships, and
the money now paid to foreigners
should have been paid to them.
This transaction demonstrates
the wide application of the max
i'm, in time of peace prepare for
war. 1t is sound advice not only
from considerations of national
safety but also from the economic
view point. The building of
these battleships here would have
afforded months of employment
for hundreds of our workingmen
at time when it was much need
ed, and the cost would have been
no greater. But this is only a
beginning. In case of actual war,
many more ships will have to be
purchased, all of which must
come from abroad and the stress
is liable to be so great that many
inferior vessels may have to be
taken at eXorbitant prices. If
war shall not come, then let the
country profit by the lesson it has
learned, and proceed at once to
the establishment of a naval force |
equal to any emergency. This
threat of war has disclosed the
TACT that the United States is not
prepared to contend with
seventh rate power, where then
would it be in case of war with
England, France, Russia, Ger
many, or even little Italy?

THE Powow.

Some of the Silver Republican
press playfully dub the Republi-
can committee meeting as Mother
Heyburn's quilting bee, which is
really quite Piquant satire.
Quilting bees are not as common
as they used to be, although, as
economic institutions they are
still held in much esteem by plain,
honest people who would rather
be warmed beneath the products
Of their own ingenuity and indus
try than seek shelter elsewhere
at the price of virtue.and decency.
The Republican meeting at Boise
was a gathering of substantial,
old fashioned people, brought
together by charitable and honor
able impulses. They realized that
through the folly of the Silver
Republicans, the lust of the
Democrats and the susceptibility
of the Populists, poor Idaho was
being denuded Of everything re-
spectacle, and becoming offensive,
through indecent exposure, to a
considerable portion of the Chris
tian and civilized world. So the
Republicans came together to set
in operation the looms to weave
a mantle otrespectability in which
to clothe the unhappy State. If
this "bee" was the conception of
Mr.. Hepburn, he need not be
ashamed of it whether he acted |
in a maternal or paternal capacity. !
1t was a wholesome and legiti-
mate offspring. But what shall
we call the Silver Republican
meeting which preceded Mother
Heyburn's quilting bee? 1t
would not do at all to use any term
suggesting the dominion of honest
matrons, and it would be cruel to
suggest pornocracy in view of
the presence of gentlemen of
stoical CONTINGENCY. Among the
Indians, in former times, when re-
duced to extremities by sickness
and disease, a grand powwow
was inaugurated. These gather
ings were characterized by wild
TOM tom beatings and all
sorts of outlandish noises and
antics, Frequently they increased
desperately the rate of mortality, I
and ended in general breaking l
Of heads in which the medicine
men were the principal sufferers. l

IAN meeting in all its phases and {

BADLY SCARED
nine.

The few straight Republicans
credited to this State must be the
most formidable political force
the State has ever known. Ac-
cording to statements recently
made by able and probably well
informed members of all the
other parties, there are hardly
enough Republicans left to hold
a caucus, yet all those parties are
in mortal fear of these few rem
nants. From every quarter come
appeals for unity against the COM
mon enemy. The cause of silver
is trembling on the verge of a
bottomless abyss, say the Dubois
ties. Let us to the rescue, yell
the Democrats. Terror takes
hold on the Populists and with
pale, affrighted faces they scamp
er hither and thither as though
pursued by all the armies of Je-
hovah. Initiative and referendum,
state ownership and fiat money
have been scared out of them,
and they take an ague whenever
Republican is mentioned. In or
der to keep up some appearance
of fortitude, Dubois proclaims
that he believes the Silver Re-
publican is the strongest party in
Idaho, then, alarmed at his own
audacity, turns tail and scampers
away like frightened jackrabbit.
In the bosom of the triple al
lance, he seeks safety, and from
his portage in the far east issues

ton which would reimburse every
simpleton who saw fit to put
money into the exposition scheme.
The committee POLITELY refused
to do any such crazy and unwar-
ranted thing. 1t may be well to
look into this matter a little further.
The Governor has designated
certain individuals to act as com
missioners of the Omaha EXPOSE
ton for Idaho. There is no stat
ute authorizing the Governor to
make such appointments, conse-
quently no responsibility attaches
to the appointees, These COM
missioners, by courtesy, now pro-
coed to raise funds on the implied
promise that the next legislature
will appropriate sufficient public
money to pay back to each con-
tributor the amount of his contri-
outaron. The 1rst step taken by
the commissioners is to secure
pledges from representatives of
all political parties that the legis-
lature will make the appropriation.
Having secured these pledges, the
commission will proceed to issue
warrants, and, not being in any
way restricted, it is fair to assume
that the amount issued will be
quite liberal. Of necessity, every
commissioner or other function
airy will have a comfortable bill
OF expenses to present, and so will
every friend of every commission
er and every friend of a commits
friend. Not being able
10 determine accurately the dis
position of the legislature, and not
ncllnlng to unwarranted risk, the
expense bills will be made out on
he assumption that warrants are
worth only about IS cents on the
ioIlar, so if a trip to Omaha of a
and his wife entail
IN actual cost of $500, the bill
will come up smiling a large $4,000

themselves to foot these bills, it

SPECULATIONS ABOUT PEACE
Believed That Spain VIII Sue Imme dlate'
ly-1hought sho Will Give Porto Rico
and Coaling Station In Philippines.

Boston, Mass. July 1.-THE Journal to-
morrow will publish the following Wash
ington special:
Spain has not yet asked for terms of
peace but some movement in this direc-
ton IS foreshadowed. Gables from the
American embassies at London and Paris
inform the President upon the subject.
'rhey state that in government circles at
both of these capitals the belief is very
positive that Spain will sue Immediately.
The fail of Santiago was expected TO fur
nish the occasion for action.
The embassies are relying not alone
upon sentiment and information at Lon
don and Paris. They have sources of in
formation in Spain. From Madrid, throug n
agencies in which implicit confidence is
felt, come reports of the growing desire
for termination of hostilities. Accord
Ing to these sources the fail Of Santiago
will be the signal for the Inauguration
of peace policy by Spain.
In cable received by the government
from London to-day, the statement is
made BY an American officer on what he
believes to be good authority, that Spain
Will consent to the independence of Cuba
Will cede Porto Rico for the indemnity.
and will give coaling station in the Phil
ippines, If the United States end the war

There Is some apprehension lest the over

to consider terms. This the United States
does not want. The fear is that Spain
would negotiate for peace in the same UNI
satisfactory and Ineffective way that she
carries on her diplomacy. If a request
is made for an indefinite armistice there
is doubt about IT'S being granted. The
President may reply as Napoleon did, that
peace can be discussed while the fight
ing goes on. He would very much prefer
that Spain should ask for terms and that
direct and definite proposition should
be accepted or rejected rather than that
this should drag on with "A series Of coun-
