The Republican wonders what
is the Boise .StatesmQn's motive in
lauding Governor Steunenberg
and Auditor Sinclair to the skies
on account of the Shoshone cam
paign? Granting that in their
usurpation of power in Shoshone
county these officers discharged
becoming duty, is there any spec
ial credit due them for it? Does
an officer deserve to be Landed to
the skies for merely performing
his duty9 In the absence of any
special motive it would seem the

law or the constitution to prevent
Mr.. Bryan's being a candidate at
the next Democratic national con-
VentiOn, yet, under the circum-

law and creates such a breach of
political etiquette as no other
avowed candidate for the. presi-

past history of the nation. 1t

Does prosperity make people
more religious? Perhaps not,
but surely it makes them more
liberal and less given to whiskers,

For several years, Kansas suffer-

this witches caldron came a lob

Rolus kept his winds shut up in
his cave, Jupiter Pluvius scourged
away the drought, and an unpre-
cedented crop of dollar wheat was
raised. The banks were full of
money and refused more; farm
ers paid off their mortgages and
had money left; the poor found
themselves comfortable, and the
voice of the Populist was no
longer heard in the land. He
was out of harmony with his sur

ISSUES TO BE MET.
Senator John l.. Wilson Of Washington,
Talks ON Next CampaIgn.

SenhlOT SuAh L. tatRs0tA v - se9AAAn = WIS
Talks on Next Campaign.
Silver will bea subordinate is
sue in the presidential campaign.
During my trip in the east I
heard but very few discussions Of
the silver question. A very few
distinguished men, including w.
!. Bryan, occasionally take the
matter up, but newspapers which
during the campaign of 1896 an
nounced the great benefits to be
derived from bimetallism and the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer on the ratio of 10 to I, are
silent on the subject now.
1t is difficult to foreshadow is
sues so far ahead. Bryan will
undoubtedly be the Democratic
nominee and Mckinley will be
nominated by reclamation unless
the leaders of the parties change
their views by some new turn in
affairs, and l don't believe they
will.
Bryan will, as he has so fire.
quently announced, have for his
principle issue imperialism and
antitrust, with a subordinate
plank in the platform on the mon
ey question. There is considera-
BE talk in political circles when
referring to the attitude of this
government toward our new pos
sessions, about the "consent of
the governed being necessary to
good government" The same
people who are using this cry
have doubtless forgotten that
Thomas Jefferson, the man who
wrote that sentence in the declar-
alton of independence, was the
first one to violate its sentiment.
He did not ask the people of
Louisiana for their consent when
the United State made that pur-
chase and assumed control over
the inhabitants.
On trusts, think both parties
will in their platforms make the
same declaration. But mere dis
NAL platitudes by either party will
not settle the question. We are
confronted by a division of re-
sponsibility. Some of the best
constitutional lawyers in the coun-
try have stated after careful eX-
animation of the mater that there
is not enough power under the
federal government to legislate in
the direction of the extingishment
OF the trusts.
Nor is there enough power
in the state Legislative bodies. 1t
would require joint action on the
part of the state and federal rep
resentatives to secure a remedy
that would be permanent. Or it
could be reached by an amend
ment TO the constitution giving
power to congress to pass such
measures as are desired. But
the latter course is difficult, as the
states are jealous Of creating any
more power for the federal gov
ernment.
Personally, am an antitrust
man, as it curtails labor, and
while it certainly makes goods
cheaper for the consumer, such
CheaPness is not always desirable

cheerfully rise in his place and an
nounce his allegiancet to the choice
OF the convention if that choice
lead a majority of the delegates
to regard any other Democrat as
better fitted TO lead the party. He
does not contemplate any such
contingency. He and his friends
regard his denomination as a fore
gone conclusion. All of which
means that Bryan intends to violate
all precedents and every propriety
by having himself sent as a dele
gate to a convention that he firm
y believes will nominate him for
the presidency.
No other avowed presidential
candidate ever committed such a
breach of political etiquette. Gar
field was nominated by the Re-
publican convention in 1880,
which he attended as a delegate,
but he went there instructed for
Sherman and not as a candidate.
Bryan himself was delegate to
the Chicago convention in 1896,
but he attended it as such and not
as a presidential aspirant. His
purpose in going to next years
convention as delegate is OBJ
vious. He dares not remain away
fearing some coup d'etat may be
attempted by eastern Democrats
which might result in another
mans nomination. He believes
by his presence and much Wanted
personal magnetism he will
be able to hold the delegates to-
gether.
His action has invited comment
and criticism amountinn % open
derision. The Chic - Times
Herald hits him off thus.
"Mr. Bryan stands alone in the
history of our politics as seeker
for the presidency with no other
visible interest or occupation aside
from devoting himself assiduously
to the promotion ofhis candidacy.
Although time and the working
of natures laws have completely

gineered the settlement.
Mr.. Philbin is a member of the firm Of

TURNED ON THE HOSE.
Henry Austin Given Bath, Medicine
and Wholesome Advice.

Clinton, Sept. 12.-Henry Austin, the
man whose condition was so frightful
to the eye, was given one hour to get
out Of town this morning.
Considering Austins condition this
might look like an act of cruelty to
him, but it was not. Before he was
dismissed with this stern command. the
department played the good Samaritan
to Austin. DR.. George L. Tobey looked
over the fellow and found that his
trouble was due to ivy poisoning. as
Austin had said. He dressed the raw
surfaces, gave the fellow medicine to
use himself and told him to let strong
drink alone.
What was more to the point. and
more useful than the medicine, was the
bath the police gave Austin. There is
no bath tub in the police station. but
there is hose that was formerly used
IN washing carriages, and they turned
the hose on him
DR.. Tobey said that he had never seen
a worse case of ivy poisoning. Austin
has been working in Boylston. He
thinks he can care for himself when
he gets back there

LIQUID AIR GOES UP.
Treasury Stock Advances
From 50 to $40
Per Share.

The stock of the Massachusetts Liquid
Air Company, with offices at 5O4 Main
street in this city, has gone up from
50 to $40 share. 1t has been decided
to advance the price of treasury stock
TO $40 on Monday, Sept. IS. From this
price it will sell at a premium. For
the remainder of the present week it
can be bought at 81 per share A very
large amount of the stock has been dis
posed of since the company opened its
offices here.
Among the many valuable improve
ments and discoveries which have been
made in the last few years that of the
liquifaction of air is assuming a fore
most place. The researches and inven-
tons of Profs DArsonvaI. Dewar.
Fleming, Linde and others have made
possible what had previously been CON
sidered impossible. 1t is now well re-
cognized by the scientific world that all
things in nature are subject to three
conditions, viz. the solid, the liquid
and the gaseous, the conditions being
dependent upon temperature.
Liquid air is produced by compression
of ordinary air and its subsequent cool
ing. 1t is the coolest substance known,
reaching as low as 461 degrees below
zero.
In the New York World of June 10
appears the following by James J.
Pearson, consulting engineer, 40 Wall
street: In my opinion the production
of liquid air on commercial basis is a
proposition which affects every power
using industry with an importance
equal to coal.
Il regard commercially cheap liquid
air as an answer to what shall we do
when our coal fields are exhausted? In
addition to having the three strides
weight, dimension and energy toward
the solution of problems that have hith-
erto been relegated to the indefinite flu
ture.
AS a motive power, it will find an un-
limited field.
The Massachusetts Liquid Air Com
pany is incorporated for the purpose of
applying liquid air for refrigeration,
power, heat and light. The primary
machinery is located at No. 1855 Allan
tic avenue Boston Mass, and tests al
ready made make it safe to predict an
unlimited supply of liquid air in the
immediate future. This company

first investors will be enriched many
hundreds per cent upon their invest
ment. Conservative investors are in
vited to call and learn fully what is
