The Loud bill to regulate sec
ond class mail matter, which is
now under consideration by Con-
gress, is a distinct step back
ward, and it is to be hoped that
no self-respecting legislator will
give his vote for a measure
which is bound to work detri-
ment to the educational interests
of the people. Mr.. Loud pro-
poses to make the Postal Depart
ment self-sustaining by raising
the rates of postage for all forms
of complete books which now
pass through the mails at one
cent per pound, and to abolish
the privilege which publishers
now have of sending sample
copies at the same rate. The re-
suit of this will be an increase in
the price of books, which are so
cheap nowadays that the poor
est workingmrn may secure a
nice little library of his favorite
works. A bill that raises the
price of books, puts a premium
on illiteracy, and.should not be
pressed. There are better ways
of making the Postal Depart
ment self-sustaining. For in
stance, why not make the rail
roads carry the mails as cheaply
as they carry the shipments of
the express companies ? 1t has
been estimated that this alone
would accomplish the object.
But no, that would not do, you
must levy the tax on the poor to
support the rich.

The establishment of Postal
Savings Bank System seems to
have been pushed into the back
ground. At one time the pros
poets for the establishment of
such a system by the present
Congress seemed roseate. Now
there do not seem to be anv
prospects at all. And vet no
solid argument has been brought
up against the measure. 1t has
been urged that the government
could not provide for the invest
ment of the savings deposited
with the post Office banks by the
purchase of government bonds
and that the Postmaster General
could not safely be trusted to
pick out other bonds of states
and municipalities-which is to
say that the present trustees of
saving funds are honester and
have more wisdom than anv
Postmaster General and than any
set of men a Postmaster General
could assemble about him as adj
vlsers. Again it is said that our
postmasters have not the knowl.
edge to keep such accounts and.
moreover, that they have not ali
been tried and found honest.
Such an argument rests on the
supposition that the men in our
postal service are both lower in
tellectually and morally than the
postal employees of Great Brit
ain who carry on most success

The Trans Mississippi Inter

TO the People of Idaho
The Idaho Commission consist
ing of the following members

The above named gentlemen,
appointed by Governor Steuen-
berg, organized Feb. LIST, with
M. B. Gwinn as temporary chair
man, and r. e. Green, Temporal
ny secretary, and the undersign-
ed Executive Committee.
The Commission respectfully
presents to the people of the
State the following statement
and appeal /:
The Exposition is primarily
intended to embrace the indus
trial development and resources
of the States west of the Mississ-
ippi river, but Eastern States,
the British Colonies, Mexico, and
the Central and South American
Republics will all participate,
and many Eastern Governments
will be represented.
The buildings and grounds are
now under construction and ar
rangements are on a scale intend
ed to make the exposition, in ex-
tent and completeness, second
only to the Worlds Columbian
Fair.
The great army of people that
will visit the exposition will be:
The farmers of the Middle or
River States on which Idaho
must mainly depend for it's i'm
migration. and the settlement of
its rich but idle land; the manu-
facturers and dealers of the East
who will see in the rapidly grow
ing State of Idaho, field for sharp
competition on all products and
goods we have to buy; and capt.
alists and investors from every
quarter of the globe, who are
already looking to the develop
ment of the great mineral and
other resources of Idaho as a
most promising field for profit
paying enterprises.
In the State, we now have un-
der existing canals 100000
acres of the choicest farm and
fruit land in the world. Of this,
less than 100000 acres are at
present under cultivation. We
want enterprising Eastern farm
ers to buy these idle lands. We
cannot get them without organ
lied and persistent advertising.
The Legislature, not realizing
in 1897 the Importance of the ex-
position, failed to make any APP
preparation for an exhibit. The
State must therefore rely on the
voluntary contributions of it's
public spirited people, if it is
made at all.
The Commission has made
careful estimates of the cost of
the exhibit, approximately as
follows

The Republican press is MAX
ing a great howl because the
Spanish Minister insulted Presi-
dent Mckinley. But yet the
President can insult the Ameri-
can people, and that is all right.
We refer you to the New York
banquet speech, and also the
part our Chief Executive took in
the Mark Hanna election, which
is disgraceful indeed. DeLome
should not have said such bad
things against our model Presi-
dent, and should be sent home.
Yet old Spain insults our people
and our flag, but Mr.. Mckinley
is so owned by the bankers that
he dares not lift a finger to help
poor Cuba.

For a Complete Union.

For a Complete Union.
The Nampa Leader believes
that there should be no distinc-
ton in the country at large, es-
pecially in Idaho between the
silver forces. The welfare of all
the safety of civilization is at
stake. The occasion does not
justify minute determinations
either of reason or prejudice.
The only hope of the enemy is
in the division of the opposition.
Mighty and crafty will be the
effort to infect the silver forces
with internecine jealousy and
strife, but such efforts will prove
futile against an exalted popular
movement of self. defense, and
the agents of the enemy sowing
the sinister seeds of distraction
be promptly RENTED to silence
and opprobrium.
Democrats, silver republicans,
populists, all should unite and
fight the enemy instead of fight
ing each other. The press of
the State has taken the lead, now
let the rank and file push the
politicians overheard and pro-
coed with the organization.
There are So papers in the State
excepting fraternal and agricul-
tural journals) and by a careful
canvas made by the Leader, both
personal and by clippings from
their columns, 38 and possibly
43 of them are in favor of uniting
all silver forces. Here is the

STOCKTON LAND DEAL

Eastern and London Syndicate Pur-
chases Victoria Island for
$500 0O0

STOCKTON, Sept. 10.-One of the larg-
est land sales in years has virtually been
made in this city, whereby John Herd,
the well-known promoter, has sold Vic
toria Island, sixteen miles from this city,
to an Eastern and London syndicate.
Victoria Island is new body of land
to most people 1t was formerly a por-
ton of Union Island, but has been sep
arated from that body of land by canal
and was recently named after the Eng
fish Queen. The island contains 5000 acres.
Some months ago Mr.. Herd made ar
engagements with Williams Bixler of
Union Island for the reclamation of 1900
acres of tule lands. By that agreement
it is understood that he was to get 5000
acres and the use of the other 5000 acres
for period of five years free of charge.
He interested several persons in the
scheme and the work is now in progress.
Victoria Island has been made by the
cutting of a navigable channel through
a great acreage. and the whole domain
belongs to Mr.. Herd. or did before this
sale was consummated. 1t is reported
that the purchase price is fixed at $40 an
acre, which involves q deal of 1920 900
one of the largest in the county for years.

Leander Stops to Coal After Fighting
for American Citizens at
Acapulco

SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 10.-The Brit
ish gunboat Leander came into this port
at about o'clock this morning for sup
ply of provisions to last her until she
reaches Vancouver, where she will obtain
a fresh supply and coal. The Leander left
Esquimalt about three months ago on a
cruise to South American ports, and Is
now on her return trip.
This is the boat which opened fire on the
natives at Acapulco when they were
butchering the American citizens there a
short time ago.
The last port she called at was Magda-
lena. She reports having met the AL
batross one of our auxiliary cruisers
when near the Straits of Magellan, a lit
tie over two months ago.
When the Leander reaches EsQuimalt
she will Immediately go on patrol duty
which she will continue for about three
months. and will then proceed to some of
the British ports in the Mediterranean.

Great Battleship Will Be Construct

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. lot is un-
officially announced that Phil lelphia
will build for the American avy the

"a ship that will be a rival of the ire
mendous Royal Sovereign of the Eng

posals to build vessels of eighteen knots
speed and exceeding by more than 1000
tons the displacement contemplated by
Congress- OF the different types pro-
posed in the three bids, that offered by
the Cramps, it Is said, found the most
favor. The result was that the board
concluded to recommend that an award
be made of one battleship to each of
the three bidders, provided the other
two would accept the Cramps scheme
in lieu of those offered by themselves.
The ship, heightened and otherwise
modified according to Cramps original
scheme, will be of about 1888 tons dis
