union against the financial foe seek
ing to manacle the country. A joint
state convention OF silver men can
not be hoped for this year-nor any
year until all counties take the mia
tive and force state politics into the
lines which suit the people, instead
of allowing the state political intrig
uer to first formulate the lines for the
counties to follow. The joint state
convention subject was introduced in
the democrat central committee at
Boise, but, at present, no matter
what central committee you go into,
democrat, silver republican or popu-
list, you will find the man there who
is there solely to look after his indiv-
idual political ambition or who is sent
there to look after the personal inter-
est of his friend, and your cunning
political intriguer is always after an
arrangement which will require

FOLLOWING SUIT.

The Boise Sentinel (alleged popu-

OF wrath upon the peoples party in
Washington county all it likes, but
the course Of events will likely prove
that the objects of its onslaught in
this county are in touch with the
more el-headed, honest and ear

Sentinel itself devclopes into a par

it is headed) wandering, brokendown

following or standing-if 1t has not
indeed reached that stage already.
Notwithstanding the Sentinel's rage
at Washington county populists, 9th

the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold ut the ratio of 10 to by the
United States without the consent or con-
currence Of any other nation-and the
cause Of the free coinage of silver is best
promoted by union OF all political forces
in favor Of it-and the holding of the
state convention Of the peoples prrty Mt

lines, through their central committee,
in meeting other silver men half way
in the matter OF joint county con-

county central committee resolution !;
and their action is receiving much

are behind the Sentinel, with their

HONEYCOMBED WITH ROTTENESS.

A letter from San Francisco, published
in today's Tribune, gives a tough state
ment of how things are run there by the
United States authorities and the con-
tractors. The burden of it is that while
great contracts for soldiers clothing are
being made, poor white women are re-
fused work and Chinese are doing it, In
confirmation we have before us an ap-
peal issued by Labor Commissioner Fitz-
gerald of that city, the burden of which
is that white men and women many of
them skilled laborers, are making con-
tinuous appeals for work in making SOL
diers clothing only to be turned away,
and names and facts are cited to prove
the statement. One woman, with son
and son-in-law enlisted tells of the rude
ness of the quartermaster's department

HOME CAPITAL.

The industrial agents of the s. A.
L., met in Wilmington last week and
we were impressed with the fact,
from the reading of the reports OF
the agents, that the towns along
this system of railroads making the
greatest progress are those that
are being developed by home capital.
A town may have all the advantages
as a manufacturing point, and its citi
Zens do nothing to start factories,
and and town with a very few adj
vantages, but with a pluckv. ener-
getic, pushing citizenship. will build
two factories to its one. Aberdeen
for instance is as well located and
has as many natural advantages for
the location of factories as any town
along the Seaboard Air Line railroad,
but we venture the assertion that
she will never have factory of any
kind until our own people determine
to have them. We may talk about
what a good town we have for fac
tories until we wear out our tongues.
and outsiders will not believe it
until we .'show our faith by our
works. '-Aberdee Telegram.

TWO NATIONS ARMlNG.

The precaution taken by the Gov

strengthening coast Notifications

footing were but natural prepara-
tions for possibilities. which mi chit
grow out of the Maine incident. But
the movement to purchase cruisers

anticipate war, he recognizes that
there is a possibility of hostilities
growing out of the Cuban problem
and the Maine disaster. and that he
proposes to be prepared for it. This
Is undoubtedly the situation as it

THE SEABOARD AND PASSENGER
RATES.

In his statement before the rail
road commission Tuesday. Mr.. f. st.
John. vice president and general
manager of the Seaboard Air Line
said, speaking of the passenger bus
mess of that system for the last
fiscal year:
The passenger train earnings of the
roads comprising the SeabOard Air Line
were very much less than 81 per mile; in
fact, to state positively, it is a matter
of record that but one road in the sys-
tenn, for the year ending June Both,
1896, earned as much at ST. cents Fer
mile. The passenger train earnings for
one road for that year We're only 3O.4
cents per mile. For the year ending
June 3Oth, 1897, the highest earnings
per train per mile, from passengers, was
1913 cents and the lowest % 5 cents.
Judge l.. X. Watts. general counsel
of the Seaboard. followed Mr.. st.
John. and showed total of 1902

holders for construction. and 81. $780,

In other words, there is an investment
OF nearly $4,000. 900 that has not paid
the investors one dollar for several years.
for the reason that the property has not
earned it. Every dollar of it represents
an honest dollar. There is no watered

The honorable city council of Port Arthur, city which every resident regards with pride as the coming great seaport of the gulf coast, has con tracted with fifteen year old boy who is running small amateur job office, as the official printer of the city. Men of experience who have invested cap ital in newspaper plants, have moved here with their families, and have done and are dolng more work than any other citizens for the advance of the city, are not given any consdera- tion by our esteemed city dads. How's that for corker?-Port Arthur News.
 The asinine stupidity of some men who chance to be in official position for brief time is disgus- ting to behold. Of all the poli- cies that are pound foolish and pen ny-wise, the policy which seeks to curtail the meagre profits of pa pers which labor continuously to build up the town they are pub lished in, this is the most stupid and foolish. It is usually men of small caliber, holding inferior po- sitions, who are guilty of such littleness.
