The Moscow Star says: Last week
the state land board filed on about 5000
acres of land, mostly in township Al,
range 1 west, Boise meridian. This land
is in the heart of the White Pine belt
in the eastern part Of Latah county.
Probably every quarter-sectiOn filed
on by the state was occupied by a set
tier who was awaiting the time to put
his own fling upon the land he had Sc
lected and claimed. As the law gives
the state a chance TO file for a period OF
GO days before the settler, and as the
state has filed, its action makes the set
tier the contestant, and now we have
the spectacle of so or 100 settlers band
ed together to defend their rights
against the encroachments of the
state.

Silk Manufacturers Complaint of
Low American Wages.

Chicago, Feb. IA special to the
Tribune from New York says:
One of the biggest silk manufacture
ing houses in Europe, with mills at
Ciefield, Germany, is to remove to
this country, locating in Paterson, N.
j., and build what is intended to be
the largest silk mill in the United
States. The Incorporation papers, filed
in Paterson. give the name of the con-
Germ as the Andiger-Meyer Silk COM
pany. Employment will be given to
1000 weavers.
1t is stated by Julius Brander the
protector of the enterprise, that the
scale OF wages of skilled silk workers
in the United States has been lowered
in the last few years so that Euro
pean manufacturers are forced to come
here if they would retain their bust
ness in the American market.

RESULT OF TDESDA Y'S ELECTIONS

The returns from last Tuesdays
election show that the Republicans
are to have good working majority
in the Senate with a small majority
over all in the House. The result of
this election must be very pleasing to
President Mckinley, for it is strong
endorsement of the policy which he
has followed out since his election
two years ago. The result of the
elections on "off" years has so often
gone against the party in power that
it has come to be expected to GER
tain extent, but this year the scale
is turned. The gain for the republi-
cans in the central and western states
was remarkable and shows that the
silver issue, which was fought SO hard
time and will not have to be fought
again. The power which the silver
element have had in the Senate will
now be lost to them. The western
states have their eyes open and the
vote Of the whole country has shown
money in the future. Throughout
the war, which has been conducted
in such a successful ma nner, the
President has held himself in close
touch with the people and although
there are some hard questions now
being brought up for settlement they
have shown themselves ready to trust
in him by electing a Congress with
which he can work in harmony, and
thus showing Spain, and her Europe
an sympathizers, that the country
sustains him in his demands in the
peace treaty.

Governor Smith in his reply to a
toast at the banquet of the Sons of the
Revolution, said he could not refrain
from expressing as his policy never
to haul down the American flag
wherever it has been raised, whether
in Cuba a, Porto Rico or the Philippines
and if any man attempted it to shoot
him on the spot. He then spoke Of all
the wars Of America as the expansion
of the spirit of liberty and said we
should rot shrink from our duty now.
We have undertaken a great respon-
sibili5y but we must show the world
that we will not evade it. In the same
line is the following adopted by the
legislature:
WHEREAS, the war of the United
States against the Kingdom Of Spain
was Waged in the cause of human
liberty, and as the fortunes of war
have placed in our possessions the
Philippine islands with their millions
of oppressed and misgoverned people
thereby imposing upon the American
nation the duty OF protecting and con-
ferring upon them the blessings of
peace and freedom; therefore be it
Resolved by theSenate andHouse of
representatives, that in setting terms
Of peace with Spain the United States
ought to retain these islands, and
that the course Of President McKin-
ley in demanding their retention of
Spain in the Paris conference. is heart
lily approved.
