Thought For ldahOians.

One plank of the Democratic
platform, as rewritten by the
Herald, reads as follows:
We regard the war with Spain as
having been necessary and inevitable,
but denounce the hesitation, vacillation
and weakness of the administration in
carrying it out.
With but nucleus of an army,
without uniforms, guns or even
powder, without transports or any
facilities for moving troops by
sea, two hostile squadrons were
destroyed, one stronghold in a
foreign country taken by assault,
and the enemy made to sue for
peace within sixty days after the
declaration of war was promulga-
ted. There is no parallel to that
achievement in history.-Salt

Fusion in Idaho,

An Oregon exchange, the Ba-
ker City EPigYam, commenting
on the fusion in Idaho, uses an
extract from recent issue Of the
TRIBUNE for the purpose of she'd
ing some light on recent Oregon
occurrences similar to those which
exist in Idaho today. Follow
ing is the EPfgram's article:
The Caldwell TRIBUNE, of
Idaho, sums up the results of fus-
ion in that state in way true to
the record. We republish the
TRIBUNE's observations in in or
der that Oregon Populists can see
that fusion with democracy means,
and all along has meant, ruin to
the Populist party, in Oregon,
Idaho, or in any other state where
it has been tried. The TRIBUNE
says:
An interesting feature of the
fusion business inaugurated two
years ago is the utter democrat
ization of the Populist party, and
the event should convey a val
liable instruction to the silver
Republicans. Two years ago the
Populist party was unquestionably
the strongest political power in
the state. Had a straight Popu-
list ticket been put up it would
have won with hands down pro-
vided there had been no fusion Of
other parties. But the Populists
combined, with the Democrats anC
the consequence is, that in Idaho
as throughout the nation, the
Populist party is a total and ire
deemable wreck. Two years
hence the same will be true of the
silver Republicans. The Popu,
lists may now reflect on the queS
ton as to whether or not The
having of two or three offices TO
two years was sufficient compen
sation for the disruption of thei
party. We sincerely hope the,
have accomplished all the grea
reforms they ever had in min'
because if anything now remain
undone there will be forever
want untitled. Populism has ru
its race in Idaho and will be dis
cussed hereafter only as a pos
norton subject.

Fusion Effected Between the
Denis and Silver Repubs.
POPS KICK OVER THE TRACES
They Put up a Ticket of Their own-Aftor Sitter
, Contention the Other Two Factions Come
Together and Agree on Division Of
the "Swss"

The Democrats, silver Republicans
and Populists have held their comfy
conventions and as result two tickets
have been placed in the field. The
Democrats and silver Republicans ef-
fected fusion, but the Pops kicked
over the traces and put up ticket of
their own. The much talked of trium.
virate is a failure, and what the result
will be on account of the Populists
failing to enter into the unholy alliance
cannot be foretold with any degree of
certainty until after the November
election.
The three parties met in convention
at Emmett on Wednesday, the 2lst
stand Immediately proceeded to fuse.
1t was just as easy as sliding down a
cellar door to the Demo and silver Re.
pubs, but tho Pops stood aloof and
quietly said, "p'raps."
Permanent organizations were eff
fected and conference committees were
appointed. Adjournment was then
taken to give the committees timo to
meet and agree if possible. The ap.
pOintment of a conference committee
was bitterly fought in the Populist
convention by the middle Of the road
members, but they were beaten by a
vote of "a to 81.
The conference committees met in
ONT session which lasted until 2:3O
o'clock Thursday morning, but at that
time, no agreement having been reach.
ed, and no prospect of one, the COM
mittees adjourned. The trouble was
the Populists thought they were the
strong party and did not propose to go
in on an equal division of the offices
with the silver Republicans, whom
they considered much the weaker fac
ton. The silver Republicans were out
for "swag," however, and finally work
ed matters so as to get up a split be-
tween the Democrats and Populists.
This left the matter in such shape
that the Populists had no alternative
than to so it alone and they immed-
lately met in convention and put up
the following ticket:
State senator, J. NJ. Martin.
Representatives, s. J. Barnum, W. A
George, Ross Madden.
Clerk and recorder, q. W. Cooper.
Sheriff, j. G. Geisler.
Assessor, d. K. Mcconnell.

coroner, B. +. DeLano.
Commissioner, 1st, Dist. John Mamon
End, Q. ]. F. Peter,

Bird, p. S. Richards
The Democrats and silver Republi
cans finally reached an agreement on
division of the 'swag," and after con
siderable contention among themselves
succeeded in giving birth to the follow
ing:

salary scoop" being sufficient, if ju-
diciously used, to sink what few hulks
that remains of the Democratic fleet
in Idaho. 1t is another case of CerVera
Democrats trying to run a Schley
Republican blockade, and sad COM
mentary on the foresight of the Demo-
cratic conference committee that &C.
cepted the eulpable salary division.
Another serious drawback to the
fusion ticket is discovered in the fact
that there are less than a half dozen
Democrats newspapers in the state
and no greater number of silver Re-
publican organs, The Republican press
in numerical comparison is much the
stronger, and the Populist press comes
next. There is hot a state organ for
either the silver Republican or Demo
cratic party-even the capital city of
the state failing to support Demo
cratic newspaper. Thus it will be
easily understood that the newspaper
support that the fusion ticket will re-
ceive won't be sufficient to even scanti-
ly advertise the few virtues of its pc.
culiar make up.
There is another element of discern
able weakness in the fusion arrange
ments being effected in several coun-
ties by the Democrats and Populists,
which means a serious slaughter of the
fusion state ticket; while in other coun-
ties the two wings of the Republican
party have united in the selection OF
county tickets, the administration wing
always dominating, thus gaining ad-
ditional support for the Republican
state ticket. The failure to fuse in
selecting candidates Tor the various
district judgships has already effected
a serious arrangement between tht
Democrats and the silver Republicans
which guarantees further slaughter Of
the fusion state ticket.
But the greatest element of weak
ness to the fusion ticket is the burden
it must carry in the name of the person
who disgraces its head, Frank Steunen
berg, who represents nothing but sci
and an intense love for public Office

ORCHARD NOTES.

Manure applied now will increase the
size if not the quality of the fruit this
year.
Good mulching prevents the early flow
of sap by preventing the ground from
warming up too early.
One advantage in growing hoed crops
In a young orchard is that the trees get
the benefit of the cultivation.
When given proper cultivation, any land
that will make good crop of corn or po-
tatoes will grow straw berries.
Early planting has the advantage that
there is more time for the soil to get settled
around the roots before dry weather.
Red clover alone or red clover and or
chard grass are best in seeding down an Or
chard after it has come into full bearing
Trees that bear stem fruits must be
grated early, as the bark will peel off and
curl up if it is injured after the sap starts.
The peach and plum are sufficiently re-
lated to be budded or grated on each 9TH
er. The plum endures cold weather better
than the peaeh
In many cases decay or rot in trees can
be stopped by carefully removing all de-
cayed portions to the sound wood and
then covering with white lead.
In growing good crop Of onions it is
important to have tho soil very rich and
well prepared. Use good seed and sow at
the first opportunity ST Louis Republic.
