The Old Flimflam Game.

The silver republicans are
watching with considerable interest
the action of the democrats in var
ious parts of the state, on a propo-
sition of a union of the silver forces.
The success of democrats in the
last campaign in ''ilim Tanning"
the pops has emboldened them to
such an extent that many of the
leaders seem to believe that the
silver republicans and populists
are verdant enough to abandon
their organization and unite nnder
the democratic ticket. Now sup
pose that all the silver elements
outside of the democrats unite,
where would they be? Why the
Mckinley votes would out number
them three to one, and they would
hardly realize that there had been
an election. Caldwell Record.

The portentous news is waited
up from Idaho Falls that there the
two factions of the Republican
party have united for good govern
ment-municipal, county and
State. There was no formal dick
ering over offices, or any sort of
trade whatever. The elements just
naturally came together, mingled
and blended. Throughout Bing-
ham county the name silver repub-
llcan has been dropped, and the
organization is virtually extinct.
Different reasons by different in
dividuals are assigned for this
change of condition. Some OF the
ex-silver republicans feel outraged
at the attempt of Fred Dubois to
dump them into the democratic
party, while others are equally
offended at Willis Sweet S attempt
to bury them amidst the delusions
of populism, moreover, they all
agree upon two important PROPOSE
tons: First, that the silver re-
publican party is in its expiring
throes; and second, that the para
mount issue in the coming cam
paign is to rescue the State from
the horrible nightmare into which
it was plunged by the reform union.
The correctness and wisdom of
these conclusions cannot be poubt-
ed for one moment. The issue in
the coming campaign will be. and
ought to be, the Redemption Of

The Shiftless Pacific Coast.

"Tnese Californians are SHIFT
less people," says Dana in 1.-Two
Years Before the Mast He was
writing of the mission days in the
,os, when hides were the staple
export of the Pacific coast, and the
thrifty Yankee traders grew rich
at buying the hides, taking them
around Cope Horn to Boston, sell
ling them to the New England
manufacturers, and returning with
shoes which were sold to thee Cali
fornians at a pretty profit. In the
transaction the Californians lost
several hundred per cent. They
sold their hides at third of the
Boston price, and bought their
shoes OH a 800 per cent advance
over the Boston market.
The lapse of 90 years, with all
the wondrous changes wrought by
immigration and state founding,
has not materially altered the con
ditions of which Dana wrote, The
Pacific coast continues to send its
raw hides to New England, aud to
buy shoes made in New England
factories. In this respect, at least,
the people of the Pacific coast are
as shittless as were the easy going
Spanish Americans of mission
days.
In round numbers Washington,
OREGON, Montana and Idaho have

and children. they all wear shoes,

of these shoes through the hard

NEW YORK'S BIG STEAL
In Connection With Canal Improve
ments to be Investigated.

Albany, n. Y. Jan. 21--There is almost
sure TO be some investigation authorized
by the legislature of the expenditures
thus far from the So, 10000 appropriated
for the enlargement of the canals of this
state and of the need for 100000 more
which IS alleged TO exist for the compile
ton of the work Six different plans of
inquiry are represented in as many bills
now before one or another branch OF the
legislature. A bill drawn by the ways
and means committee of the assembly,
and which has the Endorsement of Cover
nor Black, is the most likely of any of
the six mea sures to be adopted. It pro-
vides for the creation of q committee of
seven citizens TO investigate the matter Of
past and future expenditures
It is understood the bill will be put
through by caucus action in the assem-
bly, and by regular vote in the senate.
The Democrats will Wednesday, when
the matter comes up in the house. pre-
sent some amendments, the principal of
which is a provision that the sessions. of
the committee be open TO the public. tina
the committee be given power to sub
pOena witnesses and send for papers and
books. and that a report be made at the
