The Denver correspondent Of the
Free Press in Its last iGsue lays the
blame of the condition Aof cur
county upon the people. THIS cor
respondent builded better than he
knew, for the paople are to blame;
not altogether, but very much, from
the fact that they have allowed
partyism TO blind them to the true
condition. OF things. They have
slept while the enemies Of good
government laid and executed the
plans that hankrupted. our fair
county. and has caused the loss of
many thousands of dollars to our
Taxpayers directly and indirectly;
has cast odium upon the name of
Idaho county. Yes, the people are
partly to blame, because they
allowed themselves to be lulled
into sense of security by those
who were deliberately sucking their
life blood;7 lhlled into sense of
security by those they supposed
were friends, politically, while being
bled by exhorbitant taxes; lulled
into sense of security by these
supposed political friends while the
laws were ignored, broken and
never executed against those who
were stealing the producers stock
of horses that he depended upon to
improve his farm, and of his cattle
that he depended upon to supply
his family with actual necessities.
Yes, the people are to blame, as this
correspondent says, for not being
awake, for eternal Yigilence is the
price Of libertv-and home, as
we'll, SO it seems; and the lack of
L vigilance has cost this county very
dear. Who did you say was to
blame? The party who has had
charge of county affairs for 10, these
many years, or the people? The
Marty who has so sadly misman
aged affairs, who have heaped up a
great debt, who have bled the
people for so many years, are now
clamoring for another term; want
a little more blood want the people
to trust them again; and are even
now. and have been using money
freely (the peoples money! to
carry their point. They will sub
sidige every interest possible and
resort to every species of debauch-
cry to elect their candidates.
The people should not be to
blame this time, if they have
heretofore. They have in the
populist republican tickets the
names of men who are known to be
of sterling character and integrity
men who will reflect honor on
themselves and those who place
them in positions of trust.

Soldiers Life.

An interesting letter of recent
date received by M. L. Martin
from his son, a member of COM
pany D., First Idaho Volunteers,
detailing matters of interest en-
route from San Francisco to Manila
runs in part as follows;
On board the Morgan City
Dear Ones at Home: Our fleet is
moving along at about ten knots
an hour and no serious accidents
have yet happened, except that a
man has just fallen overheard from
the Ohio and we are floating while
they are trying to rescue him.
From all reports we could get at
Honolulu we have the best times
on our vessel as our officers have
not been overly strict with us.
At Honolulu we were detained
two days and half, caused by a
mishap to the Indiana's engine.
We were given a fine reception
at Honolulu, and especially the
Idaho cadets, as Miss Cushman had
sent list of our names to her
former pupils at that place, and
they were all out to meet US, hear

that there was population of
10000 ON eight islands of the
Hawaiian group, the other four not
being inhabited. Many OF these
people are Chinese and laps, but
strong measures are being taken by
the administration to get rid of this
Objectionable element in our newly
acquired possessions. There is con-
siderable land yet available on the
islands, and for a trifle one can rent
all the land they want to farm, a
good portion of which is on other
islands than the one on which Hon
olulu is situated, Honolulu itself
has population of $4,000. One
other town on the same island has

that of the Swiss or Alpine mount.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
For Curing Dyspepsia.

For Curing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. +. |. Bell, highly esteemed
minister residing in Wecdsport, Cayuga
County, \. Y, in Il recent letter writes
as follows: There has never been any
thing that have taken that has relieved
the Dyspepsia from which l have suffer
ed for ten years except the new remedy
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since
taking them | have had no distress at all
after eating and again after long years
CAN SLEEP WE'LL. Rev. +. j. Bell,
Weedsport, n. V, formerly, Idalia,
Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it is
Il certain cure for all forms of indiges-
ton, but because it seems to act
thoroughly in old chronic cases Of dyS-
pepsia as well as in mild attacks of indi-
gestion or biliousness. a person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is oyerworked, all it wants is IL harm
less, vegetable remedy to digest the food
and thus give it the much needed rest
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest the food whether the stomach
works or not New life and energy is
given not only to the stomach, but to
every organ and nerve in the body. 4
trial of this splendid medicine will con-
vince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles can be cured.
The tablets are prepared by the Il. A.
Stuart Company, of Marshall, Mich,
but so popular has the remedy become
that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can now
be obtained at any drug store at 80 cent
per package. Send for book on stomach

UNIQUE MARRIAGE.
The Man Took the Wife's Vow and She
the Husbands.
Troy Pine Leaf.)

(Iroy Pine Leaf.)
We witnessed very interesting and
unique marriage ceremony on Thursday
of last week. The happy bride and
groom were united by Squire Rose-not-
in-full-bloom Suggs, but the Squire made
the mistake Of reading the mans VOW
to the woman, and the woman's VOW to
the man; therefore the man swore to
be a good and faithful wife and the
woman swore to be good and faithful
husband. How they will arrange mat
ters / cannot see, perhaps love will find
Il way.
1t is a very bad state Of affairs when
two people are united for life by an in
stitution founded by the Almighty that
they should not be properly married, es-
pecially as the marriage ceremony is so
simple that school boy should not
make mistake in reading it. 1t seems to
me that ministers alone should have the
power to bind two people together by
such ii sacred institution. -

held. This is what came to pass in Will
mington.'
The white business men paid the
taxes, while the colored men and white
carpet baggers ran the government.
Negro domination is something North
C.'rolina Will not stand and to day
Democrats, Republicans and PoEuists,
reading the lesson of Wilmington, are
taking the cue and are looking toward
organizing their parties on basis of not
permitting the colored men to vote at all.
/ fancy the Republicans would be less
inclined to take this view We're the add
ministration in Washington to take a
strong stand in defence of the negro's
right to vote.
But the attitude of the administration
in Washington is not in favor of having
any more wars on its hands. True, it
has spotted the State all over with col
ored postmasters and other Federal Of
ficers. but these places were not given
as Il reward for voting on election day.
They are given as n reward for voting
in the Republican National Convention
for Mckinley. The Democrats, who
have got the Legislature by a great ma
jority, are already planning a law or
constitutional amendment which will dis
franchise the negro in a less bloody man
ner than the shotgun. 1t is doubtful if
the Republicans will ever make a cam
paign issue out of it again.
There was printed to-day an interview
with the chairman of the Populist State
Committee, in which he said that in his
opinion the colored man should be stopped
from voting. Now comes two prominent
colored men who advise that their race
leave politics alone in the future
1t is interesting to note, while all eyes
are ON this State. the revolution that
has taken place in parties here. The Re
publicans and Populists carried the State
in 1894 In 1896 the Populist party WAS
split. and one faction of it joined the
Republicans and elected Russell Govern
or Governor Russell since then has de-
serted the Republicans, becoming actual
~ Il Populist Governor.
Every business interest of the State
was against the Republicans and Popu
lists last Tuesday. The Democrats had
really become the conservative party.
Postmaster G. Il. Bailey said to-day that
i'll consequence of the Governors course
the Republicans met defeat. Populsts
and Republicans in large numbers voted
with the Democrats. AS matter of
ldct. tHeTe IL no longer any IopullSC
party in North Carolina. In comment
ing on Governor Russell to-day Post
master Bailey said
Governor Russell is without friend.
except the lawyers he is feeling and the
convicts he has pardoned."
| endeavored to-day to get Governor
Russell to discuss the race problem. He
said the time was not ripe for him to
speak. When he does speak his words
will be interesting because of the part
he has played. He more than any other
man is responsible for the building up of
the black clique that ruled Wilmington.
The very fact of this domination has
hurt the Republican party in the State.
and it went on until the race question
became greater than politics.
