Notwithstanding all predictions to the (
contrary, this years congressional cam

be fought on the same issue.--Lemhi

The CGuR 'DALENR Pass inquiries !
with some concern, whats the matter
with HANNAH" Well, so far as we are
able to learn, the main trouble with
Hanna is an aggravated attack Of ''get
there" fever, which is quite likely to
prove fatal-to Bushnell. Emmett In

A small rat can gnaw hole that will
sink great ship. John Y. MeKane's
political rascality at Gravesend defeated
the viii OF the people Of tue entire coun
try. Had there been fair dealing at
Gravesend in 1854, James G. Blaine
would have been president 81 the United
States--Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The Mirror will allow the silver Re-
publicans to return to their first love,
but it says the party cannot with safety
take them into the councils. The silver
Republicans feel thankful to the Mirror
for thus allowing them to return to the
fold Such display OF magnanimity will
no doubt unite the two parties without
further delay.-Genesee News.
Congressman King. Of Utah, made
visit to Cuba during the holiday recess
and returned to Washington firmly con
WINGED that it is the duty Of this govern
ment to intervene there. Every one
who goes there comes away with the
same impression. Still the pro-Spanish
organs insist that there is no foundation
for the demand for intervention by this
government.-IdahO Statesman.
Some papers seem to think that Hanna
has won great victory. 1t is in reality
anything but that. As Mckinley car
ried the state by almost $1,000 plurality,
it would appear that if the Republicans
had not lost ground there badly, Hanna
should have been elected senator by
more than one vote to spare, and with
no great fight, either. His election will
not cause party harmony in Ohio

Last March a loathsome creature was
taken out of Wardner for insulting a
lady teacher in the public school. Sher-
iii Heney arrested something over fifty
OF the people of Wardner and boasted
loudly that every citizen in this county
should be protected in his rights, if he
had to call upon the United States troops
for assistance. 1t seems to make whole
lot OF difference to Mr.. Heney whose
rights are invaded.-Wardner News.
Senator Heitfeld, the Idaho accident,
voted against the Immigration bill which
passed the senate early in the week.
Further restriction of immigration was
generally demanded, especially by or.
gained labor, yet this legislative potato
digger says, let the hordes of Europe
come and destroy the wage field Of the
United states. Heitfeld did not explain
his vote. When he returns home his
subjects" will have forgotten the Incl
dent.-Ceur d'Alene Sun.
1t matters not what the party name.
1t is the principles that control, that
should control, men who desire to attain
an exalted end. A sincere silver man
cannot afford to be q stiekler for a party
name. Union being indispensable 10
success, and some voters having preju-
dices against two or more parties, while
all have a prejudice against at least one,
Why not adopt new name? Why not
"christen" the organization "the Silver
Union party ?''-Wood River Times.
The Herald still waits for the Moscow
Star TO make a direct accusation against
that silver Republican leader whom it
charged with offering to lead his follow
ing back into the ranks Of the old party
for a political consideration. Express
sions from which the public might draw
inierences don't go. II the charge be
true, it is worthy OF a direct, personal
specification. The manner in which the
Star has treated the subject is rather
suspicious-like some Of its political as
sociations, and unless the Star will make
. direct, personal charge, the public will
conclude with the Herald that the silver
Republican leaders are all right. and
that the yarn TO the contrary originated
with the Stars goldbug allies.-Kootenai
