point settled it is hard to see what
is lett to be considered as a basis
for compromise. The Northern

the O. X. x y. shall keep out of
the Nez Perces country and not in

willing to conccGe this or any part

Senator Beveridge is safely
landed on this side of the Pacific.
Those interested in the career OF
the eloquent senator from Indiana
will be greatly relieved by the
news. No man in public life in
the past quarter Of a century has
so impressed the people as has the
Junior senator from Indiana. He
has a national reputation as an
orator. He is a man of brilliant
attachments and high ideals. He
is marked as a coming man OF
power in the councils OF the nation.
Many have remarked upon his

Yellow journalism Is robbed of
another bugaboo by the announce
ment that the President and Secre-
tary Root are a unit on a deter
mined policy of vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war. There will be
fully $4,000 men ready for active
service at the end of the rainy sea-
son under fighters like Lawton,
Wheeler and Funston, who will
with all possible dispatch make an
end OF the war. Aguinaldo and his
aunties will be routed horse, foot

If Lewiston and Nez Perce
county fail to make an exhibit at
the Spokane Exposition this fall
1t will be lost opportunity. This
is a time Of great immigration from
the Eastern States. Hundreds will
visit the Exposition as advance
agents for families who are looking
for homes In the Pacific North
west. An attractive display of
Snake river fruits and cereals and
minerals Of the great Clearwater
basin would direct attention aud
result in bringing both capital and
population to help develop the
country. To miss this opportunity
would be very short-sighted pol
icy for an enterprising people.

The development of the great
copper properties on the Imnaha
will affect Lewiston directly. The
new mineral field has no other out
let except that afforded by the
river. Should the camp prove all
that the promoters hope for and
the surface showings indicate, its
development will hasten the advent
of a railroad along Snake river to
supply the country with proper
transportation facilities.

The motto of the political re.
former for the past several years
has been to guard we'll the prima-
ries from the corruption of bossism
and machine politics. California
has effected something practical
along these lines. There the new
state law provides for the holding
of the various party primaries
simultaneously and under the direc-
tion of the municipal election com
missioners. At the first trial of
the new law at the primaries held
in San Francisco the boss element
In both the republican and demo.
cratic parties was completely over
thrown. Under such safeguards
as these the patriotic boss will find
his occupation gone.

The result of the recent railroad
conference is not yet made known,
but the drift OF public opinion is
toward the conclusion that no COM
promise agreement was reached.
The Oregonian, always very close
to the plans of the o. r. & N,
gives color to the above assertion
when it says: "One thing, how.
ever, is certain: The o, r & N.
will build a line into the Nez Perces
Whether the Northern
Pacific will build down the Colum-
bia, or whether there will be track
age arrangements whether. in
short, there Is to be war or peace,
IS secret that must await deve,-
opment. So great an issue is not
likely to be settled in a day. But
what we do know is that the Ore

The official statement OF the in
creased amount of money in cirCu-
lauon is likely to put a crimp in
any free silver argument in the
coming campaign. Reports from
official statistics show that during
the last twenty years the amount
Of circulating medium in the United
States has more than doubled, that
it has increased more than so per
cent since 1886, and more than rs
per cent since July I, 1896. Nc
period in our history has shown a
more rapid growth in the amount
of money in circulation than the
last few years. At present it aggre'
gates nearly So, 600, 900, 900, and
the rate of increase since July /
1896, has been nearly half a millior
dollars for each business day. A
present there is in circulation al
amount of money equal to S25 70
every man, woman and child in tn,
United States, and nearly thii'
OF this is in gold coin. No othe
government on the face Of the glob
can boast the possession of sucl
current wealth. This is the condi
ton which conlronts the democrac
and causes its brainy leaders t
doubt the policy Of fighting an
other losing battle on the conter
ton that the country il going t
the bow. vows.

In the granting of franchises the
council should be governed by
questions Of public utility rather
than any other. In piling up fran.
chise upon franchise for public
privileges obtained mainly for spec
ulative values nothing is gained
for the city. 1t is a detriment
rather, for the rival companies seek
to block the very improvements
which the granting of the franchise
sought to promote, by forcing either
a sale or purchase of conflicting
interests The council should pro-
test against any such speculative
ventures. If Lewiston needs a
street railway and any company in
good faith will undertake its con-
structlon as a legitimate invest
ment, the line could be in operation
on every available street in the city
within six months. But when priv
ilege is asked to begin such work
In three, six or twelve months and
complete 1t in two, three or five
years, with provisos of extension
capable of any construction within
a decade, II is very evident that the
franchise is wanted rather for its
speculative value than for the pur-
pose of operating plant for public
benefit and purely as an invest
ment. The franchises of the city
are valuable. Why should the
council farm them out for private
or corporate speculation If any
body is to be benefited by the
future value of these privileges,
who has better right than the
city itself9
