THE GRAND JURY's REPORT

Inc report OF Jne Rranu jury WnlCn
appears in another column, will fur
nsh interesting reading for the tax
payers of Kootenai county. The
county Jail, which has beer condemn
ed by almost every grand jury that
has been lmpaneled since It's erection,
again receives body blow.
In the matter of licenses collected
by the sheriff, the jury finds that
$17,765 has been collected by the
preset sheriff during the first eleven
mouths of his term. while in the two
years previous but $l7,575 was ac-
counted for. They also find that dur
Ing Mr.. Ryan's term OF office for the
years f896~and 1897, but SIG, 493 was
accounted for by him. These drures
are striking IN the extreme, and while
the jury does not say so IN words, yet
the report clearly indicates that full
Investigation should he made of the
matter.
In the matter OF the feeding and
clothing of the prisoners the jury is OF
the opinion that the present rate is
excessive and recommends that IL be
reduced. For the past quarter the
average cost of clothing and feeding
the prisoners was 80 cents per day.
This includes bedding aud clothing,
which every prisoner must be furnish
ed with to some extent. In justice
to the present sheriff it may be stated
that the rate Is the lowest ever paid
In the county, the former rates rang
ing. from 80 cents to $1.l0 per day.
In the matter OF county assess
Ments the report speaks a volume in
q few words. According to the asses
sors roll there are but $3.50 in money
in the entire county. There is one
note to the amount Of $50, but no
mortgages that are not on real estate.
This is not the first year in which
money lenders have avoided the as
SCISSOR, but the practice has been con-
tlnued since the formation Of the
county There are several individu-
ais who have plenty Of money to loan
on good securities at rates from per
cent a month and upward, but when

hesitancy in making oath that they
have no money.
The report states that the bonded
indebtedness of the county is about
$14O, 900. An examination of the
treasures records shows thaJ in 1887,
bonds to the amount Of $4,000 were
issued which hear per cent interest.
In 1889 b,nds To the amount OF
$4,000 were issued winch bear 8 per
cent interest. In 1892 bonds to the
amount of $50, 900 were issued which
bear per cent interest, while IN 1896
the last issue was made, amounting
to $4,000, which also bear per
cent interest.
In 1899, but $1,000 Of this debt
becomes due, the last amount becom-
ing due 1915, sixteen years henes.
While paying but $1,000 of the
principal this year. the coun ty is
called upon to pay 50, 1913 In inter:

THROUGH the assertions of the
republican press of this state tina
the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver would be brought about by
international agreement, Mckinley
received 332 votes in Kootenai
county in 1896. Had the republi-
can party declared for the gold
standard then as it does now this
figure would have been reduced
to 80. Had Mckinley advocated
the retirement of the greenbacks
then as he is doing now, the latter
figure would haze been diminished.
ooh, the gold standard is all
right" remarked one of the FEEDER
al Brigade few days ago, "but
the trouble is the people here are
too Ignorant to understand it. +"
Possibly so. Possibly so. But
why not take up another collection
for Bill Mcconnell and let him ed
ucate the voters on the gold as he
did on the silver question a few
years ago.

THERE is a wide diversity OF
opinion on the subject of public
Christmas trees. The laudable
object for which entertainments of
this kind are given, deserves COM
mendation, but the practice is too
prone to abuse. Well-to-do par
ents often try to Guido their less
fortunate neighbors by loading
down a public tree with presents
for their children, much to the
latter's chagrin. Do you think a
child is happy when it hears its
companions say, go. | got five
presents" when it received but
one? Poor children endure such
things often, and they feel just as
keenly as do the children of
wealthy parents. They suffer hui
initiation while the rich mans
child develops snobbery. Nothing
could be more commendable than
the ancient family Christmas tree,
but unfortunately for our children,
the love of show has almost made
it thing OF the past.

The apparent JOY with which the
news of the Boer victories are re-
ceived by the jurors and witnesses
who are here attending court, indi-
cate clearly the feeling of the peo-
pie of this county on the pending
struggle in the Transvaal. If
Lexington, Valley Forge and York
town could be effaced from the
pages Of American history; if the
history of the war of 1872 could
meet the same fate; if the Trent
affair could be blotted from the
minds of the American people,
England might find sympathisers
here. But SO long as the inspir-
ing speeches of Patrick Henry, the
heroic deeds of General Washing
ton, the dying words of Captain
Lawrence, are recorded for the
study of the American youth, SO
long will prejudice against Eng
land exist in free America.

The republican papers of this
state that are SO painfully concern
ed lest Bryan may again force
himself upon the democratic party
as its presidential candidate and
thus assure its defeat, are deserv-
ing OF all pity, to be sure; but WHY
the tears? Don't these papers
The silver blade. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1895-1903, 1899-12-16

want the democrats to be defeated
They should welcome Bryan's
nomination, not cry over 1t, if he
is indeed 80 sure to lose the elecs
ton. There is ridiculous incon-
sistency between the republican
profession of confidence in Bryan's
defeat and the eager Joy with
which the party press proclaims
every attempt of eastern demo-
crats to down him and nominate
another candidate.
The action of the Spokane
Chamber OF Commerce is crafty
ing indeed to the citizens of this
county who have labored persist
emily against the proposed extern
sion of the Priest River Reserve.
Their resolutions are pointed and
timely. They express the wishes
of the people of Spokane in unmis-
taxable language. They not only
show a decided opposition to the
extension of the reserve, but urge
its modification to meet the wants
of growing community. There
is no doubt but that the Washing
ton delegation in congress will ex-
haust every means at their COM
mand to prevent the locking up of
vast area of public domain when
it lies in such close proximity to
commercial city like Spokane.

"CoURT is not like it used to
be-" remarked one of the faithful
the other day, as sixty jurors came
down the street from the court
house. How's that?" asked by
stander. ooh, these men are all
strangers, said he, "not even the
familiar face of Frank Howard can
be seen in the throng," and he
heaved sigh and walked down
the other side Of the street alone.
81 WILL never consent to have
the minis open to the free coinage

clared Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, the
other day in the house of repre-
sentatives. 81 have had my last
whirl with silver" declared he, 81
have been humbuggcd for the last
time" No doubt many Of his con-
stituents will say that they have
been humbugged for the last time
in electing Mr.. Dolliver on an in
ternational agreement platform.
FROM the hour that Jefferson de-
clared national bank of issue to
be unconstitutional to the day in
which Jackson struck its death
blow, and from that time until the
voice of economic discussion was
hushed in the awfsl storm of civil
war, the banking institutions of
this government have stealthily
sought for party that would grant
to their keeping the financial af-
fairs of this government. 1t looks
now as if they had succeeded. The
utterances of republican congress
men during the past week show
conclusively that they will not
pause until the financial control
shall be placed in the keeping of
Wall Street.

state that are so painfully concern
