soaked in admiration of the prin-
cipal performers. There are
Populists who knowing that they
are ridiculed like monkeys by
Silver Republicans, yet go TO
them for political counsel and adj
vice; there are Democrats with
the denunciations Of Mr.. Dubois
still ringing in their ears, who
pine for closer fellowship. And
what may we ask inspires such
shameful and contradictory con-
duct? Is it 10 to 1? Pish! Was
it devotion to silver that defeated
MIR. Clagget inthe senatorial con-
test? Was it loyalty to free coin
age that induced Mr.. Dubois to
organize personal party? Is it
a deep and unshakable faith in
the principal of independent BIZ
netallism that causes the allied
forces to scrap like cats and dogs.
Fortunate it is that there is but
one Paramount Issue upon which
he elements can unite. Another
one would disrupt the State.

HAPPY FAMILY.

There are something's in poll
tics so absolutely absurd that il
would be in the nature of a pub
lie calamity to permit them to
pass unnoticed. There is the
matter of the paramount Issue, .
which is supposed to bind in
blessed concord all the devotees
of free coinage. According to
the ritual, every consideration
must be subordinated to I6 to I.
1t is supposed to link together in
dissoulibly, Populists, Democrats
and a faction of Republicans; and
we are to believe that upon this
article of faith, personal ambition,
partisan strife-every selfish and
unworthy aim is offered as a
ready sacrifice. Yet Mr.. Dubois.
chief of the Silver Republicans,
denounces Democrats as selfish,
fanatical, unpatriotic; and MIR.
Wilson, his principal lieutenant,
crys passionately for Populist.
And for what? Ask Billy Dun
bar. One wing Of the Demo
crazy is up in arms against Mr..
Dubois and all he represents; the
Populists are split wide open on
the money question. The love-
ly fusion of last year has become
the worst kind of confusion. and
the combined elements instead Of
being held together in fond en-
brace are locked in deadly con-
tlict. Yet these, be it known.

the uplifters of the lowly; the
bane of plutocracy, the destroy.
ers OF monopoly and the harpoon-
srs of octopuses. But it is all
or the cause-all in the name of
he Paramount Issue. And with
his vision of harmony and sin
'erity before them there are still

UGH antics seriously, and are

BRIDGES.

The case of Gillette-E4erzog VS..
Canyon County was argued in
the United States district court
last Friday. Messrs. Rice, Grif-
fiths and Davis, attorneys for the
County are confident of winning
the case; yet for some reason,
quite inexplicable, at least one the
Commissioners is extremely anx-
ious to effect a settlement out Of
court. The evident concern of
this gentleman lays him liable to
unpleasant suspicious, as he must
know that it is not within the
power of the commissioners to
make legal compromise. 1t is
now minated that the attorneys
for the Gillette Herzog Company
will not finally submit the case
until after the meeting of the
Commissioners on the 10th of
January. Should this be true,
the inference is clear that the OBJ
ject of delay is connected with
some possible action ofthe Board.
1t occurs to us that if the Com
missioners would conserve their
reputation for integrity and re-
tain any measure of public con-
fidence, they had better let this
business take its regular and
orderly course. They can not
have any honest interest in the
outcome above that of ordinsry
taxpayers, and it is not any part
of their official obligation to feel
a more profound concernment :

We rather admire the spirit of
that Mountainhome jury which
took upon itself the responsibility
of declaring the game law uncon-
Stitutional. Lots of good money
has been wasted in testing the
validity of laws that any hard
headed juryman could drive a
four horse team through.

reading some of the euri-
dite and indignant trades that
the men who fought in the Civil
war for the preservation of the
Union were a crowd of thieves
and vagabonds, and that the
thought in their heatrs, when
they shouldered their guns, was
that they would save the nation
in order to plumber it. Those
summer patriots who regard the
survivors of the war as barnacles
on the ship of State, should
themselves be made to stand up
and be shot at few times; they
should be obliged to make few
forced marches through mud and
rain, snow and ice; they should |
be put on raw corn diet for three
weeks; they should be forced to
camp out on wet nights with a
pair of blankets for protection,
two rails for a bed and a stone
for a pillow; they should be Civ
en- course in Libby or Jackson
vile. A little real experience
would work a revision of senti-
ment in them, and put an effect

cries; they would be likely to
arrive at very generous conclu-
Sions, and insist that it is better
hat ninety and nine frauds be
committed than that one deServ-
ng be, denied. But this talk
If pension frauds is the dismal re-

NO BRASS BUTTONS FOR JOE.

Joe Perrault, the newly appointed
surveyor general, is already bucking
the administration. Joe ignores the
civil-service rules, and fat-footedly
VOWS that he will select his own cleri
cal force without regard to those rules,
the President, or anyone else. We ad-
mire Joe's stand on this proposition,
because bigger fraud was never per-
petrated upon the people than this
civil service law. 1t is like the inter
state commerce lava farce and a
fraud upon its face. But Mr.. Per.
rault is not the only one making war
against this pernicious measure. There
is we'll organized fight against it in
congress, even if it is being conducted
against the will of the President.
Leading Republican representatives
have attacked the law on the floor of
the house, when they had to strain a
point to do so, and sixty odd Republi,
can members of the house who oppose
the law as it now stands met in caucus
to discuss the best way to conduct
their fight against it. That was at
least fifty more than were supposed to
be willing to be counted as publicly
hostile to the law, and has had an al
arming effect upon those who stand
by the law, and have generally been
disposed to poke fun at all talk of
fighting it.
The foregoing from the Mos
cow Double Standard is sensi bic
and pointed, but the structure on
the civil service law requires a
title explanation. The underly- I
ne principle upon which the law t
S based is all right. 1t is simply |
hat competency shall constitute i
me of the essential qualifications /
If public officials. The civil SER "
'ice law as now interpreted is f
fraud, and worse Il
han that it is dangerous and un- il
American. Carried to its ulti- S
nate, and, as now going, logical Il
onclusion, it will establish Il

SELECTING A CAMP SITE.
Eight Miles From Havana Two
Camps VIII be Pitched.

Washington, Nov. S.-Colonel Hecker,
with Colonel Lee Of the board which was
sent to CUBA to select camp site for the
American army Of occupation, has reach
ed Washington and has had several con-
ferences with the president and Secretary
Alger. The secretary has approved the
locations selected by the Hecker board
for the principal garrison, which will be
in the neighborhood of Havana. The
place selected lies about eight miles south
of Havana, in the neighborhood of the
town Of Alarianao. Two camps will be
pitched at this point, one OIL either side
Of the splendid aqueduct which supplies
Havana with water. This aqueduct will
be tapped and the water drawn by steam
pumps from it to supply the camps,
which will be pitched in plf teau about
100 feet above sea level.
At the nearest point to the camp on the
sea beach dock is being constructed.
The troops will be landed at this point
and marched directly to the camp, the
purpose being to avoid exposure to posi-.
BILE infection in Havana.
