war, if the quota is not already
filed. paying his own expenses
He is a strong and healthy young
man and will make a good sold
ier. There are others in Custer
county desirous of fighting for
Uncle Sam if they had opportun-
ity, but it appears that Custer
county is not recognized in the
call for volunteers from Idaho.
Owing to the fact that no re-
cruiting officer has been appoint
ed in this county we have had no
chance to send troops to the
front-although some of our boys
have enlisted in different coun-
ties in the State. We desire to
state that Custer county is just
as patriotic and jnst as loyal to
the flag as any other county. but
for some reason our county has
not been asked to furnish q single
person in I1aho'S quota Of troops.

William Sebree. who has Just
returned from Dyea. reports an
utter collapse in the freighting
business at the latter point He
says both passenger and freight
traffic to that place has also prac-
tically stopped. To illustrate,
Mr.. Sebree mentioned the fact
that one of the big steamers ON
which Mrs Sebree went TO Dyea
not long since only had half
dozen passengers and but a few
tons of freight He says the
business appears to have shut
down almost without warning,
and the inference to be drawn
from his report is that the Klon-
dixie boom is a thing of the past
and that thousands win be
stranded i'm that desolate nortss-
west region. Caldwell Record.

Ihe American people are proud
of their sailors, proud of their
Dewey, proud of their navy.
And they have just cause. A
more splendid and decisive vic
tory than that gained by Dewey
in the far off Philippines has
seldom been won by any navy on
any sea. By one action has the
power of Spain been broken be-
yond retrieve On one side of the
globe. in one short day has an
island empire over which she
has tyrannized been wrested
from her. Skillfully tanned
aud boldly executed was the dash
into Manila harbor, the destruc-
tiCn of the Spanish feet under
the guns of Cavite and then the
silencing of the guns of that and
the other fortresses defending
the capitol and metropolis of the
Philippines. OF greater tonnage
were the American ships and CT
more modern build than the more
numerous vessels of the hostile
feet and greater weight of metal
could the American vessels
thr- wv. But this in no way de-
tracts from the glory of the vic
tory for behind the Spanish fleet
and reinforcing its guns were
the batteries of the Spanish
forts. The guns of the Spanish
forts and ships together were
more numerous than those of
Admiral Dewey's squadron and
more men stood behind Spanish
than American guns. But the
men behind the American guns,
the men at the helms of the
American ships, were of super
ior stuff to those who fought the
Spanish guns, perhaps not sup
erior in courage to the men who
fought their guns while their
ships sank beneath them and
perished rather than strike their
flags for such courage was heroic
but superior in skill, in coolness,
in calculating Judgment in the
midst of danger. skill and cool
ness that minimized dangers,
made most effective the often
sive force of ships and guns, aud
so Dewey and his men fought
and annihilated a superior force,
superior in numbers but not In
skill.
The American sailor who
fought his way to fame by his
skill in handling and fighting the
sailing frigate has shown him
self no less at home on the mod
\ ern ircnclad. His superiority in
handling and fighting the mod
ern vessel. in working the mech
anism of electricity aud steam
in effectively using the moderI
ordnance he has shown, as th'
men of Perry and Decatur show
led their superiority in handling
the warships of masts and sail
and wood in the early years o
the century. The Americas
sailor has grown with his fight
ing machine, he has failed il
nothing that the American peo
pie expected of him; when th'
hour of supremeSt test came Il
the men of Admiral Dewey
squadron they We're not founC
wanting and so the American
people rejoice, rejoice that the.
are of the same nation from
whence hail Admiral Dewey anC
his men. rejoice that they cal

CHICAGO POLICE METHODS.
Chinaman Says lie WAS Imprisoned
For '"Tallliug TOO Much.''

Chinaman Saws lie was Imprisoned
For ''yallliug TOO Much.''
Chicago, Jan. 26. -- The committee
from the state senate Investigating the
Chicago police board heard testimony
yesterday tending to show that a regu-
lar police system of blacllmail on the
Chinese and white opium joints exists.
Several Chinese appeared before the
COMMITTEES, but witt, one or two excep-
tions said they were afraid to testify.
Sing Tin, the proprietor of an opium
Joint, said i'm reply to questions that if
Governor Tanner or Mayor Harrison
would guarantee him protection he
would tell all he knew. Sing Tin said
that within the past ten days the po-
lice had visited all the opium joints and
warned all keepers against giving tes-
timony before the senate committee.
Whep asked if police in uniform had
not called on him for tribute Sing Tin
said the question was too hard for him
TO answer. He created somewhat of a
sensation by stating that he and Sam
Moy had once been imprisoned for 10
days on the north side for talking too
much" and that Sam Moy had been
compelled to leave the city. MOy Tin
was more free with his answers. He
said that most opium joint proprietors
paid $40 a week for police protection.
He, however, paid but SO a week, tell
ing the man who called to collect that
amount was all he could afford. This
man, according to Moy Tin, said that
Alderman Coughlin was the benefici-
arV.

There is no measure more wide
spread in its application, or more
sweeping in its effect, than the so
called Loud bill now pending in Con
gress. The same measure was up in
the last Congress, and although it
bore, as it now does, the name Of the
Chairman Of the House Committee
on postonices and Post Roads, it was
in point of fact prepared and fathered
by the Cleveland Administration. 1t
passed the House OF Representatives
in the last Congress, but failed in the
Senate.
On its face the bill proposes to pro
hibit the sending of newspapers
through the mails under the pound
rates, except to prepaid subscribers,
unless at ruinous charge for
postage. 1t proposes to greatly re-
strict the nature and form of supple
ments and other matter sent by pub
fishers frequently as adjuncts to in
crease the attractiveness of their pub
lications. Without going into detail
with reference to the measure, which
is somewhat lengthy, it is enough to
say that it should be designated "A
Bill to Restrict Other Peoples Busi-
ness"
There are many reasons why the
public is, or should be, awake to the
danger to the general welfare which
turks in this pet bill of Mr.. Loud's.
1t is not only a blow at education,
and at general business interests, but
also strikes at labor, and thus reaches
every home in the country however
humble.
The full scope of the measure has
not been appreciated by the public
Rtlarge. It's effect would be greatly
to decrease the amount of printed
matter issued from the press and
circulated through the mails. Should
IL become a law it would decrease the
demand for white paper by thousands
OF tons every year; it would throw
thousands of printers, machinists
and pressmen out OF work. 1t would
curtail perhaps 80 per cent. the de-
mand for presses, and its effect upon
the great shops where printing
machinery is constructed would be
ruinous, not only to the proprietors
but the artisans employed. The
hundreds Of articles that are adver
tised in the newspaper press in al
sections OF the country would suffer
a decrease because OF the restrictions
on cheap avenues OF publicity, and
the thousands OF people engaged in
the preparation OF all kinds of goods
would suffer accordingly.
With all these reasons, and many
others that might be cited for hostility
to the measure, it follows that the
only way the bill will pass Congress
will be through the neglect Of the
people. II the constituents of the

II IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who ncglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If YOU are
''not quite well" or "half sick hive you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause Of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty-fuur hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence Of kidney trouble, Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
Of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you
need medicine take Swamp Root cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar, or by sending your address and the
name Of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. y, you may have a sample
bottle Of this great discovery sent to you free

THE MONETARY CONVENTION.


1t Presents the Appearance of Ma
tiona Political Convention.
Indianapolis, Jan. 2G.-Four hundred
delegates We're present at the Grand
Opera House yesterday when Chairman
Hanna, of the executive committee
called the monetary convention to order
This was an increase of 100 over the
number Of delegates that attended the
first indianapolis convention of a year
ago. The hall presented the appearance
of a national convention of one of the
two great political parties, the various
delegates being indicated by standards
bearing the names of the various states.
Governor Mount delivered the speech
of welcome and Governor Shaw, of
Iowa, spoke for more than an hour on
the gold standard and the retirement
of the greenbacks. His homely and
forcible comparison of our financial
system with the gradual growth of a
pioneers home, gradual addition Of
'lean-to's" and thatch roofs, which
ought to be replaced in our more ad-
yanced condition by a new structure
upon firm foundations and of harmoni-
Gus architecture, caught the audience
with great effect, and brought forth
round after round of applause.
Among those who arrived just before
the convention met was General Simon
b. Buckner,' of Kentucky the Gold
Democratic candidate for vice president
two years ago.
