God had caused our flag to be raised
there.

an Ohio ongressman evidently inten-
ded to be used to affect the election
in that State, in which be said that
we acquired title to the Philippines
by conquest; that our claim rested
solely upon the purchase of the is
lands from Spain, and in view of the
fact that the President had Instruct

End of Gambling.

who are inclined tn be sporty
placed their money until the very
last moment. In all places where
games were run the dealers con-
tinued operations until the hour
arrived, and in view of the fact
that it was the last call there
was some very animated betting.
But the time to close came at
last. The fap-tiap of the cards

the only games that were left,
ceased, and the rafting of chips,
now of no value, alone broke
upon the silent meditations of
the players as they leaned back
in their chais and the clock toll

gambling in Idaho.
A question has arisen as to
whether the playing of games
for the drinks comes within the
inhibitions of the law, and while
those who enjoy that sort of
thing believed it does not. still
it was noticed that those who so
played yesterday were careful to
have it understood that nothing
was at stake; and at the end of
the game some one treated. This

of its so called laws.
The first paradox presented is
that the stuff is an absolutely dry

that the governor of Idaho has
so far forgotten his oath of office
and honor as man as to turn
the executive branch of the gov

owners of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mines, who, through
their attorneys and a plant gen
eral of the regular army, have
established conditions in the
Ceur d'Alene mining region far
worse than were ever exerted in
Russian Siberia or on Cuban soil
during the Spanish reign of ter
ror; and
Whereas, 1t is a fact that
American liberty and the con-
stitution of our country have
been supplanted by a military
despotism in it's worst form.
wherein the owners of the silver
mines in the Ceur d'Alene dis
trict are denied the right of en-

Whereas, Many other citi-
zens, including prominent bust
ness men of the district, who are
guilty of no crime other than
that they have expressed their
sympathy with the miners in
their righteous struggle for the
very existence of their organiza-
ton, have also been denied the
right of counsel and the actual
necessities of life; aud

ed by our forefathers, after so
