Washington. Nay 21.--Thc Senate Committee
on Finance to-day agreed on a number of addi-
tonal amendments to the War Revenue bill and
In one or two instances returned 10 the House
provisions. The most notable change of the lat
ter character WAS In the tobacco schedule. the
House rate OF II cents pound on manufactured
tobacco being restored. The rate cigars
Weighing less than three pounds thousand
increased from IS 90 TO So 90 thousand.
The rate OF 81 90 on cigarettes was not changed,
though there VAS an effort to restore the House

surance companies was changed go as 10 pro-
vide that the tax on mutual companies Of the
Industrial order should be only half the rate on
other life companies. a uniform license OF SD
was also imposed on insurance agents. and the
provision for a license Of $50 for foreign insur-

IDAHO MUST REPRESENT.

The Caldwell Record, which
pipes alone for the Hon. M.
Bivious Gwinn, offers this startling
bit of information:
Idaho will be represented at the
Omaha exhibition, even if the Malad
Enterprise and CALDWELL TRIBUNE
do not favor it.
Good gracious, now, that is
awful! And so discourteous, too.
Well, if Idaho is determined on
this folly, we suppose there is no
hell for it. Bring on the stuffed
cat and let the show proceed.
What is the use of having a cat if
she isn't regularly exhibited? We
are glad, now, that Captain Wells
did not lose our cat in Chicago.
Idaho couldn't represent without
her. The needtul thing now is
County organization. Can't
bring out the cat properly with
out organization. Then the bust
ness sentiment must be cultivated.
Can't do anything with a legisla-
ture unless there is a business
sentiment to do it with. The cat
should at once be placed in the

Democracy than are Populists.
They are political waits, wander
ing about without guide or pur-
pose, saving alone an irrepressible
yearning for public Office. So
long as they had an acknowledged
head leader to follow-there
was ground upon which to base
expectations, but now, there is
not even a peg left on which to
hang prospective hope. Dubois
and Sweet are in open warfare.
Borah has abandoned the old
hulk as unseaworthy, and poor
Edgar-ah, poor Edgar, indeed,
has lived to see the day when even
Monte Gwinn dares to cuff him
about. To what greater depth
could mortal fall?

GOVERNOR STEUNENBERG has
finally offered a reward for the
apprehension of the assassins OF
Friedrich d. Whitney, who was
murdered in Shoshone county last
December. 1t seems to us that
the Governor has been very de-
liberate-very deliberate indeed
in the premises. So much so that
the unpleasant inference may be
drawn that the reward is offered
only for appearances sake.
Whether this would be just or not
may be doubted by those of lib
eral faith, but no one is going to
take the Governor seriously in
the matter. The public treasury
will suffer no depletion in conse-
quence of the Governors procras-
tination, unless the murderers con-
clude that to come back and stand
trial would be in the nature of
safe financial enterprise. We con-
graduate the executive on the full
fillment of his, now almost for
gotten, promise to exhaust all the
energies Of the State. He has
redeemed the pledge and may
roll over and go to sleep again.
Good night, Governor.

"oReIEs OF TIE TIMEs.n

The Payette Independent edi-
tor must still be troubled with
visions and reCollections of the
late railroad debauch, or why
does he write like this:
"The latest, and one of the
most encouraging orgies of the
times pertaining to the prospective
movement of real estate in the
Payette Valley for the coming
season, is to be found in the an
nouncement of the formation OF
a reliable company for the exclu-
sive purpose of handling these
fertile lands. Our late fellow
townsman and late Worlds Fair
Commissioner, Capt. ]. M. Wells,
and MIR. A. E. Wood, recently of
Cosselton, N. D., but now per-
manently located in this city, have
formed such co-partnership and
will soon open an Office in Pay
cite for the purpose of facilitating
their work. We have the infor-
nation that Messrs. Wells and
Wood will advertise extensively,
and that the whole time and best
energy of both members of the
firm will be given to the conduct
of this business. Here, where
these gentlemen are best known,
this announcement is a pretty
good guarantee that good results
are to follow"

AN OLD MASTER.

The Weiser Signal is becoming
a rhetorician of unexampled width
of wing and lofty defamation.
What could be more beautiful
than this: "There is not a straw
in the way of the three Washing
ton County wings of bimetalism
standing shoulder to shoulder and
setting an example for undecided
neighbors." And if there were
a straw there, what of it? Could
straw prevent the three Wash
ingtOn County wings of bimetal-
ism from tapping? Could hay
stack prevent the wings from
standing shoulder to shoulder and
setting an example to undecided
neighbors? What would BIZ
metalism want of three wings
unless to flap them? What
would wings want of shoulders
unless to stand them together and
set examples in the rule Of three.
Washington County bimetalism
seems to be composed of three
distinct elements-bird, bat and
pterodactyl; that is, Republican,
Populistic and Democratic. But
the Signal is a poet as well as a
rhetorician and ornithologist.
Poetical images fit before its
mind all the time, and anon it
catches a particularly brilliant
fancy and wrapping it up in
ornaments of speech, sends it forth
in this alluring guise:
"Candor on the part of all and
proper regard for the positions of others
ought to bring out 4 good timber from
the oak instead of rending it into
splinters by the lightenings Of political
dissention."
When Teller has got a muse
like that all to himself, he doesn't
need anything more in this world.
He can just mount it and go
cavorting around among the top
most peaks of Parnassus, lave in
Castilian founts and bump around
with Apollo whenever he pleases.

hands of a regularly ordained
taxidermist. The taxgatherer
will have his innings later. Then
all the committees, sub-Commit :
tees, executive committees, NOR
tuary committees, commissions,
chairmen, presidents, secretaries,
delegates and alternates should
convene in some suitable place,
and while reviewing the cats re-
mains, form a union of silver
forces. In order that Idaho may
be creditably represented a union
of silver forces is quite as essen
tial as the cat. The cat will do
the business in the Omaha show,
and the "union'' will manage the
Idaho legislature. This is COM
bination worthy the tireless effort
and highest ambition of any State.
We advise the Malad Enterprise
and The CALDWELL TRIBUNE to
recall anything they may ever
have said in derogation of a spec
tacular demonstration at Omaha.
Why there is more of it than can
be thought of at one sitting.
There are nice pudgy jobs for a
score or more of enterprising citi-
zens, junketing trips for commits
sioners and their retinues, a thous-
and opportunities to repair decay
ing political fences, missionary
work on behalf of the union of
silver forces, establishments in
Nebraska, banquets at Omaha
and all at the public expense. To
what nobler heights can patriot
ism aspire? Of course Idaho will
be represented. Do men think
that the spirit of the Revolution
is deceased. Not any. There
are just any number of loyal,
patriotic citizens in the State who |
would as lief represent in Omaha
as in Cuba. That shows their
blood. We rejoice that the cavil-
ings of the Malad Enterprise and
the captious pratings of THE
CALDWELL TRIBUNE have been
set at naught. Idaho viii lose
that wisdom which comes from
if she does not repre-
sent.

Why they are together; they

years, In fact they always were
together. The silver men who

BABYLON IS FALLING.

1t has been announced through the
column of the Statesman that w. E.
BOrah has decided not to accept the
nomination for Congress. This is a
surprise, coming as it does so soon
after Williams interview at Salt Lake.
Business must have picked up pretty
lively to cause him to throw up his
hands so early in the game, or perhaps
father-in~law Nc. gave him his expert,
ence as politician and this might
have caused the change However. we
still have Edgar Wilson. If the Pops
and Democrats conclude to let us have
the Congressman he will make US
representative who needs no fixing, for
he is all ris bit aud will not pull off un-
less Dubois so advises.
This despairing wall comes
from the Caldwell Record and is
probably the first note of gem
eral detection from the Silver Re-
publican ranks. The Record is
clearing its decks so as to sail
into the Democratic port. A
few weeks ago it shunted Dubois
and Sweet while looking visit
fully towards Borah as a last
hope. Now it throws Borah
overheard. and, in passing, ad-
ministers a vigorous kick to
Edgar Wilson. The political
situation is rapidly becoming sim
plified, and will soon be resolved
into original conditions. In Mon
tana the Populist party has prac-
tically ceased to exist. In Utah
it never obtained a respectable
foothold, and in Idaho the pro-
cess of dissolution is far advanced.
1t may endure long enough to go
through the forms of fusion, or
even struggle through one more
campaign as distinct organiza-
ton, but its race as a political
power is run. Democracy of the
Bryan stamp and Populism are
essentially one thing. Take the
Populism out of the Chicago plat
form and there would be nothing
left of it worthy of consideration,
In some directions it does not go
as far as the St. Louis platform,
but it is travelling in the same di-
.rection with due diligence. In
1900 it will catch up, so the
Populists who are a bit fore
handed have begun to climb on.
Silver Republicans are even with
less excuse for keeping out of
