COUNT WHILE THEY VOTE.

One OF the wlsest measures passed
10y the recent legislature was Senate
Bill No. 105 which provides for two
sets Of judges in precincts having
over one hundred voters. The object
of the law Is to facilitate the count
OF the vote In general elections. At
the last election, the judges and clerks
OF Rathdrum Precinct were found
wading sleepily through the ballots
twenty four hours after the polls
closed. The following is the full text
Of the bill:

The visit of President McKin-
ley to Mark Hanna's southern
home at Thomasville, Ga, this
week. is said to be for the purpose
Of mapping out the campaign Of
1900 and deciding upon a can
didate for vice president. It is
taken for granted that Mr.. Mckin-
ley will be renominated in 1900,
but it is said Mark has his doubts
about the advisability OF renomi-
mating ce-President Hobart. If
Hanna decides upon a candidate
for vice-president it will be useless
to hold a republican convention in
1900.

A SUBSCRIBER
Tells Why We Should Hold the
Philippines.

At the breaking out of the
"Yanko-Spanko" war we looked
upon SPANS right to rule the
Cubans or Filipinos only as the
| right of might; but now, after de-
moralizing her feet in Manila bay
and agreeing to pay her $40, 900, :
900 to relinquish her claims, we
have come to the conclusion that
her title to the Philippine archipel-
igo is absolutely clear. True the
Filipinos claim they own the
Islands they inhabit, not Spain or
the United States, and they have
been contesting this right with
Spain for years. They do not
seem to understand that our right
to rule them-like that of Spain
is divine, and one of might. Yes;
even more than that; il is one of
purchase. They must succumb to
the inevitable, lay down their arms
and surrender Internationally, or
we will annihilate them.
1t is duty we owe to civiliza
ton and good government. 1t is
mode OF our benevolent assimila-
ton. The poor deluded followers
Of Agulnaldo We're sadly mistaken
if they thought that they were
fighting for their independence
when Uncle Sam armed them and
helped to destroy SPANS power in
their islands; for it is only a
change of masters.
The sentimental anti-expansion-
ist who cites the commandment
"Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
boris land, is apparently unnind-
full of the fact that this Mosaic law
is now too old and obsolete to ap-
ply to the administrations Philip
pine policy in this progressive age.
1t was just such sickly sentiment
talism that moved Thomas Jeffer.
son to draft in the Declaration of
Independence the principle that
"All governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the
governed" Unquestionably this
principle applies to us; but it was
never intended to apply to a peo-
pie less intelligent-like the Fill
pinos.
AS soon as we can conquer the
natives we bought from Spain we
will bestow upon them an Ameri-
can government ostensibly for their
benefit; and although they will be
taxed to support such government
that is very insignificant when COM
pared with the benefits they will
derive therefrom.
Our politicians are all honest
and all who favor expansion do not
epect an appointment in the Phil
ippines. They wouldn't rob a poor
native even if they had a good
chance.
Yes, hold the PHILIPPINES; but
don't send us over there where the
Mauser ballots are whistling
"Nearer My God to Thee" and
expect us to take the place of
those who have been doing the
holding for the past eight months. |
Yes; hold them for the product
OF So per month Filipino brought
into free competition with the
product of an American producer.
Working in harmony with the gold |
standard will reduce prices to
point where the consumer can af-
ford to buy. How beneficial will |
this be to the American workman
and how joyful he becomes when
he realizes how the annexation of
that eastern archipelago will give
the corporations, trusts and com.
blnes better opportunity to con-
troll production and distribution.
and, consequently, prices and the
wages of labor. SANDY.

cast out devils, and dethroned the
false gods who would have deliv-
cred them bound hand and foot
into the hands of their enemies.
Defeated at Chicago, Croker,
Belmont and their followers pro.
ceeded to organize, calling them
selves "National Democrats" and
stigmatized the Chicago conven-
ton as populistic, and posed as
the deciples of Jefferson and Jack
son. The principal plank Of their
platform declared for the gold
standard, while Jefferson and Jack.
son were both bimetalists. Could
either of them with mortal sense
know that he had been referred to
in support of the single gold
standard, one would rise from his
tomb at "The Heritage, the other
from his resting place at Montecel-
10, and with hot indignation de-
nounce the infamous calumny.
And yet Croker and Belmont, with
these pretended followers of Jeffer.
son and Jackson, were the first
and only political body that ever
in this country openly and une-
quivocally Endorsed the single gold
standard.
These same gentlemen opposed
the income tax; opposed restricting
federal power; defended govern
ment by injunction and opposed
what they termed the socialistic
tendencies of the supporters Of
Mr.. Bryan. In short they opposed
democracy and favored aristocracy
But their organization has gone to
pieces. Some of the men who
comprised it, and a large number
OF voters who were misled by it,
have come over to the side of the
people and renewed their allegi-
ance to the democratic party,
while the leaders have gone to the
republican party, the recognized
champion of the single gold stand
ard.
1t was well for Bryan to ask
Belmont, before accepting his in
vitation, if he had changed his
opinion since 1896, lest he find
himsel in the camp of the enemy.
JAMES r. SOVEREIGN now refuses
to qualify as a member Of the state
board of arbitration. This is what
he says on the subject: "Gov.
Steunenberg availed himself of the
law to reappoint us as member
of the state board of arbitration
after we had been rejected by
combination of the populists and
republicans in the senate. If we
were half as revengeful as our pop
ulist senators were when they COM
bined with the republicans to re-
ject our appointment, we would
certainly accept the Office, if for no
other reason than as a means to
balance accounts. But we did not
come to Idaho to secure the honors
or rewards Of public Office, and
while thanking the governor for
his kind consideration, we have
declined the honors. Thus the
populist senators won the same
victory twice over-first through
their own efforts and last through
ours, and the glory of the first
victory fades away before the re-
nown Of the last. We caught
them as David did Saul and could
have stabbed them with their own
spears by accepting the position.
But now they may rejoice in the
victory, little and penurious as it
was, and some day we may be able
to render unto Caesar that which
is Caesars and pay our debts in
the coin we received by saving our
dear senators from being forced
into Office against their will"

The mail reports that are now
received from Manila respecting
the parts taken by the Kootenai
county boys in the memorable bat
tie OF February 5th, indicate that
our volunteers, as we'll as other
Idaho troops, covered themselves
with glory. The fact that Gener-
al Macarthur made special re-
quest to have the Idaho troops
sent to reinfore him in the attack
upon Caloocan speaks more elo-
quently Of their bravery and eff
cheney than words can express. 1t
was compliment that the state
should fully appreciate.

&
Perry Belmont, presiding at a
dinner given in honor of Thomas
Jefferson reminds one very forcibly
OF the yer changing conditions in
this country. Jefferson in his time
eschewed ali pomp and ceremony
designed artificially to distinguish
the president from the people. He
gathered around him the plain
people. "If had the entire world
to choose FROM" he once said, 81
could not change one of my asso-
ciates to my better satisfaction. ;"
Belmont is member OF the firm
that represents the Rothchilds in
this country and handled the u. S.
bonds issued in 1884, when his
friend Grover was president.
None of his class were close asso-
ciates Of Jefferson, SO the changing
conditions are made manifest by
the tributes paid his memory by
men of Belmont's class seventy
three years after his death.

lr WAS stated in the press dis
patches Of Thursday that Mr..
Bryan would attend a dinner given
by the adherents of the Chicago
platform in New York on Teffer-
sons birthday. The proposed
banquent is in opposition
to the one that will be given
by Richard Croker and Perry Bel
mont in honor of the same occa-
sion. 1t will be remembered that
Bryan refused to be a guest at
their dinner because Croker and
Belmont refused to support the
Chicago platform in 1896: In re-
fusing to be their guest Bryan dis
played great wisdom.
In 1896 the democratic party
found itself handicapped by the
men whom it had elevated to pow
er. Having betrayed their party
and renounced their country's
welfare, they sliced the party ma
chinery and resolved to extort
from the National convention an
Endorsement OF their course; but
the party under the leadership of
Bryan, rose superior to their cabal-
isfic control. They upset idols,
