Thoughtful persons cannot repress q
deep sympathy for the mother of the
young man or woman, boy or girl, whom
the minister. during the progress of his
sermon, finds it necessary to rebuke for
misbehavor. in the Church. Though
the reproof be ever so .gentle-merely
dignlfied silence until the whisperers
and gigglers have finished-that parent
neglected training has borne. No, fond
one, it is not yet too late. Take your
wayward offspring to some secluded
spot down behind the barn and there
have him or her do the "hooche- -cooche"

kind of dance will receive Scriptural
sanction. Even though it doesn't, don't
allow him or her to disgrace you by
misbehaving in Church.
Mrs. Elizabeth G.. Breazeale, widow
OF the late kenon Breazeale, departed
this life at the home of her son-in-l law,
Mr.. j: A. Eskew. in Centrcville Town
ship, last Sunday morning at 2 o'clock,
in the. 73rd year of her age. She had
been in feeble health for long time,
but was confined to her bed only
about three weeks. The deceased
was n daughter of the late John
| Fretwell, was born and raised in
this County. and until four years ago
+ always lived on tho place Of her birth.
On November. 0, 1847, she married Mr.
| BreaZeaie, who preceded her to the
grave about five years ago. BY this
union ten children were born, Of whom
three sons and three daughters survive
her. Her long life was a beautiful
epistle of o Christians love and faith
ful devotion to the precerts and exam
| pie Of her blessed Saviour, and she fell
asleep trusting in His promises, and
strong in the faith and hope of a glori-
GUS and peaceful resurrection to inn
mortal existence beyond the portals of
the grave. Her remains were inferred
Sunday afternoon in the Salem Church
yard, of which Church she had long
! 5esn member. Rev. O.. l.. Martin

ing those engaged in its solution,
Governor Steunenberg is much
more deserving Of critical con-
sioleration than is President Nc
Kinley, But, it may be said,
Steunenberg is not engaged in
solving the labor-capital question.
Very true. Neither is Mckinley
engaged in establishing new
national policy Both Steunen-
berg and Mckinley are engaged
in precisely the same sort of bus
mess enforcing the laws Of their
country The solution Of prob
lens and the establishment Of po-
licies will begin after lawlessness
has been suppressed, in both
cases. It is quite clear then that
Steunenberg is no more entitled
10 immunity from criticism than is
Mckinley, and as it is the espec-
ial delight Of Democrats to as
Perse Mckinley, Republicans
might be Pardoned a slight retail
iatory indulgence, especially as
the provocation is SO adequate
and the occasion SO rich in ques-
tionable performances. The
Statesman may contend that nei-
Their Steunenberg nor Mckinley
should be criticised, but that con-
tention would be without force
or validity. The acts and mo-
lives Of public servants are proper
subjects for most searching criti-
cal review, and an officer who is
too immaculate to be criticised
ought to retire, as a cause which
is to holy to endure investigation
ought TO perish OF be translated.

HlLL's ApoTHEoM DOESN'T PIT

We believe it is a Caldwell
gentleman who credits David B.
Hill with the shrewd observation
that man is not worth d
for a year before his marriage or
a year afterwards. Evidently that
apothegm is inapplicable to the
Hon. Fred T. Dubois of Black
foot. Fred is prophet of con-
slant lustre and incessant fruitful
ness. He gives down regularly
and generously and blooms per-
ennially. He is just as prolific
now as in his most vigorous time,
before loves young dream I'M
strung his nerves or the stern re-
alities of matrimony cooled his
ardor. As lately as May 26,
1890, ne was possest of the gift
OF prophecy and thereupon fore
told that "those who supported
Bryan in 1896 will support him
again unless they have some
special reason for not doing so.o
That is about the most brilliant
stroke in prophetic enterprise
since the days of Lemuel Hop
kins who confidently predicted
that his COW would be delivered
Of a heifer calf unless she had
special occasion to produce a bull.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-06-03

However, in justice and fairness,
we must admit that Mr.. Dubois
is making marked progress as a
reliable prophet, seer and reyelat-
or: and in this his last effort has
kept well within the law of prob
abilities. We are profoundly I'M
pressed with the prediction that
all those who supported Bryan in
1896 will do it again unless they
have special reasons for doing
otherwise. Inspiration must have
hit the prophet Of Blackfoot a re-
sounding whack on the head
when that brilliant spark Of ilium-
mating intelligence glanced OFT.

PETER AsANDoNs poPULIsm

1t is not with the slightest touch
of exultation that THE TRIBUNE
mentions the abandonment OF
Populism by ex-senator PETER.
He is but an individual, and his
political evolutions are of no more
consequence than those Of any
other individual, except in so far
as, on account Of his superior in
telligence, he may to certain eX-
tent clarity the vision of his mis-
taken fellow creatures. Mr.. PEI
fer, in explanation of his changed
views, says:
Along in the fore part of the sos
Kansas was moving lively. We
built many railroads and the cOun-
try became rapidly settled. Many
improvements of all sorts were
made and the State was at the
highest notch of prosperity. Then
came the hard times, and all at
once the bottom dropped out of
everything. Many of us honestly
thought there was danger ahead.
really dreaded what was coming
at one time The masses were dis
contented and we were afraid
something might happen, some
strike or riot or something of that
sort, to cause q general breaking
out of the smouldering discomfort.
Bat through our great crops at
home and the crop failures abroad
and our late war we are apparently
coming out all right. The war has
nationaliZed us. 1t has allowed
the people to work eff their Surplus
steam. We are all getting q broad
er view of what Americanism
means. The labor question is set
thing itself, and you don't hear any
thing more about f6 to I. People
won't listen to 16 to l now any
more than they will to a discussion
of the tariff. And some of the Old
time free traders of the south ara
really advocating mild tariff on
some things now.
That is a simple confession by
a Populist that Populism is born
of adversely, is nurtured by ca
lamity and naturally dissipates
before the sun of prosperity.
PopuliSm is to politics what
quackery is to medicine. 1t null
tiplies imaginary evils, magnifies
real evils and seeks to dispel all
evil by impossible and fantastic
remedies. To some extent all
people in distress become Popu-
lists; and, as those who suffer
from physical ailments are prone
to turn with longing hope to the
seductive promise of quack nos
trums, so those who become sur
rounded by financial ills turn to
the allurements of Populism with
its cash creating fiat. Mr.. PETER
now sees the folly of his notable
attempt to create a few billions
Of money by act of congress.

Statesman hastens 10 repel every
attack on Governor Steunen-
betg's management Of his insnr
rettion in north Idaho. Now,
that is all right; and there is no
more gracious, nor rarer, quality
in journalism than loyalty tinct-
ured with motherly instinct. But
the StatesmaA's tender solicitudc
for the governors fame, causes it
to miss the point in the criticisms.
There is not a right minded citi-
zen in Idaho who would raise his
voice to stay Governor Steunen-
berg in his attempt to restore or
der, establish security, promote
civil law and punish crime in the
Coeur dAlenes, or anywhere else,
and with singular unanimity the
press of the State has upheld him,
despite the questionable motives
which have animated him and the
extraordinary methods he has
pursued. The attacks, therefore.
upon the governor are not aimed
at tUhat he is doing, bat the mo-
tives which impeI and the meth
DDS he adopts. This, we think,
is legitimate ground for criticism,
and in support cite the rancorou5
attacks which all over the coun-
try the pure Democracy are MAX
ing on President Mckinley in
connection with his insurrection
in The Philippines. In the dead
Of night, like assassins, Aguinal-
do and his bloodthirsty dapes,
attacked and murdered American
soldiers who had but that mo-
ment lifted the yoke Of Spanish
tyranny from their necks; yet
President Mckinley is pictured
as an inhumau monster because
he did not order the American
soldiers to turn tail and run for
thelr lives, in order that Filipinos
might enjoy the principles Of the
Declaration of Independence
without restraint or moIestation.
Did the Occur d'Alene miners do
worse than Agtinaldo's
gang? We think not, Then is
Stennenberg's campaign in north
Idaho any more sacred than Nc
in the Philippines7 Are
not the principles for which the
Miners Union is contending as
in the eyes of the Union
men as are the principles for
which the Filipinos are fighting
in their eyes? Are not the per-
formances of rebellious Filipinos
and righteous miners equally cul-
pable or equally laudable? Viii |
not the logic that condemns the
one condemn the other-that ex-
culpates the one excnlpate the
other? Then both Steunenberg
and Mckinley are equally amen

ested patriotism OF certain mill
larry appointments made by Gov
ernor Steunenberg. And partic-
ularly has it been charged that
we were inspired by no higher
motives than vindictiveness and
hatred. In the past we have
made no attempt to explain our
motives because we felt that ulti-
mately the truth Of our structures
would establish sufficient vindi-
cation. In a great measure that
has already been accomplished
by the voluntary retirement of
Col. Jones on account of physical
disabilities. But now things have
taken another turn, and we feel
that it is proper in us to say that,
as our former criticisms were in
spired by a fear that the Idaho
volunteers would be subjected to
all the horrors, dangers and dis
graces incident to being COM
manded by incompetent officers,
we are now animated by no
meaaer motive than a desire to
shield one of those volunteers
from the malevolence of one of
Governor Steunenberg's appoint
ees. We desire to make it clear
that the facts upon which we are
proceeding are not facts coming
within the purview of our per-
sonal observation, but coming to
us in such way and through
such channels as to render their
authenticity almost above suspi-
cion. It, however, the positive
declarations upon which our in
formation is based, turn1out to be
false, we shall cheerfully make
all PREPARATION in our power and
place the odium of calumniation
exactly where it belongs.
Last week we presented for
suppositional case
and now desire to pursue that
theme. a little further, therefore
let us suppose that, substantially,
the events took place as we re-
lated them; that the major be-
came greatly terrified at the APP
pearance of few Filipinos; that
he wildly despatched runners to
secure re-inforcements; that the
lpshot of it was that three com
oanies of Idaho boys endured the
humiliation of having a corporal's
guard sent to hold a position
which the Idaho major with 600
roops regarded as utterly unten-
lble. Now, let us suppose that |
he young lieutenant in mind, up
IN a public occasion, expressed |
lis views of the affair in very
,lain words and charged the dis
grace Of it to the major; that sub
iequentiy he preferred charges
against the major in the regular
md legal way; that the papers
we're examined by the general in
command and by him properly
endorsed; that it began to look

would be reduced to the ranks

Po7uLisT AWAKENING.

There is one thing about con-
stitutional Populists, by which is
meant that element in society
which is naturally and religiously
populistic-there is one thing
about them UNNECESSARILY supe-
rior to constitutional Democrats.
Ii is this: No matter to what
wild excess of folly your genuine
Populist may ascend or descend,
no matter how profoundly i'm
pressed he may become with the
notion that his vagaries, are
substantial verities Of nor
how enthusiastically voluble
he may become in the advocation
of his impracticable theories, he
is liable ultimately to come to his
senses, crop his nonsense and be-
come a proper, sane creature.
On the other hand, the reigning
virtue Of your constitutional Dem
ocrat is the Dutch quality of
staying nit" and the greater
and older and more decayed the
folly, the harder a Democrat
clings to it. Even after, in prac-
tice, smashing his doctrine all to
pieces, he tenaciousiy stays nit"
the doctrine. His principal mission
in life, however, is to remain in
unreasonrng opposition to the Re
publican party, national progress
and prosperity. There is that in
the Democratic attitude almost
pathcticalIy ridiculous. This is
beautifully Illustrated by Lucien
Stebbins, the father of Populism
in Nebraska. Stebbins recently
issued an address to fusion Popu-
lists, whom he calls confusion
pops" which concludes in the
following graphic style:
Bryan says the Republicans do
not want free silver, and that is a
good reason why the Democrat
should want it. Bryan will soon
have you confusion pops eating
junk, bottles aud grindstones, he
cause Republicans won't cat them.
Bryan will take you to some old de-
serted Republican camp, and point
ont some old Sardine cans and brok-
en- vessels and invite you to fill
yourselves. Any old thing a Re-
publican won't have is good enough
Tor Democrat. Aud you viii eat

And this, Melpomene's song of
the G. o. p:

The Republican party is in the
thrOes of dissolution. 1t is being
rent from ocean to ocean by con-
tending factions. The chain of
gold is breaking and the masses
are leaving the dismantled hulk as
rats desert sinking ship. The
doom of the Republican party is
written by the finger Of tho Eternal
upon the dome of the sky. Its
days are numbered. Even now its
best blood, brains and conscience
rise mp and curse it by all the gods.

BOSTON, March N.-Maj. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles visited the legislature this af-
ternoon. He first was received by the
senate, where he made a brief address.
He then went to the house, where a SIM
liar programme was carried out. Each
branch took recess after Gen. Miles had
addressed them. during which the mem
bers were presented to The visitor Just
after leaving the state house one of the
afternoon papers, containing the an
nouncement that Mr.. Sherman had died
was shown to Gen. Miles. Unfortunately
the contradictory report was not receiv-
ed for some hours later. and while Gen.
Miles expressed his intention Of carry
Ing out the days programme, Mrs. Miles
requested that her numerous engage
ments should be cancelled. This was
done at once and she returned to the
hotel very much depressed over the sad
news. A few hours later q representa-
tive of the Associated Press brought her
the welcome news that Mr.. Sherman was
still alive.
In the meantime. Gen. Miles, despite
the heavy weight Of loss on his mind,
bravely stood the test of hours Of hand
shaking at the Algonquin club, previous,
to the banquet in the same club house by
the Merchants club, a dining organiza-
ton. In the midst of the festivities the
Associated Press dispatch was shown to
him and he at once expressed his great
JOY at the good news
