SECRETARY OF STATE PATRIE
Writes Of the Silver Republican Party
and Gives Some Personal Views on
Issues In 1900.

BOISE, IDA, July l3, 1890.
EDITOR BLACKFooT NEWS, Black
foot, Idaho-DEAR SIR; Replying to
your inquiry Of June nth, as to whether
the Silver Republican party OF Idaho
is going to pieces, beg to say:
/ believe the wish to have the party
go to pieces, is father to the thought
with those that make the statement.
except perhaps in Bannock county,
where the local Democrats In their
greed for office, refused to combine
with the Silver Republicans in 1895.
There, and in one or two other counties
where like treatment was received
from Democrats. the feeling Is quite
bitter. Otherwise, my observation OF
conditions leads me to conclusion en-
tirely opposite to their assertions.
Our party is not dissolved, nor has 1t
even resolved to dissolve. In many in
stances OF municipal elections, the is
sue OF free coinage has been frequently
and wisely ignored, with the approba-
ton OF the leaders, upon the ground
that it Is national question, not to
be dragged into the mud of local or
ward contentious.
il the press of Southern Idaho con-
tends, because of this fact, that the
Silver Republican party has dissolved
or gone to pieces, its logic, is ridicu-
lous, and it will find out its mistake
"when supper time comes"
You request my personal views on
the political outlook for 1900.
In the light of the changes Of the
past two years, in national affairs and
conditions, it is difficult to forecast
what may happen in the next year. or
what national political issues may be
presented by the national conventions.
The present situation in Idaho is of
importance in forming conclusions as
to fntRre possibilities.
The Old Republican party in Idaho
was, for years, committed to free coin !
age. think !; safe TO assert. thar
when the st. Louis platform was adopt
I'd, general regret was felt By all of
hat party in THIS state relative to the
plank of that platform.
Many OF the Republicans Of our state
cit that, although their party was
'gnlnst them on the financial oaes-
ION, yet long party ties and firm
that the old Republican
*fty would yet return to It's position
v former years, Induced many OF the
ID party TO place themselves Under
De gold standard. Many others be-
eved 1t their duty TO abide by the
principle Of free coin

JNO. G. BROWN.

age, and organized the Silver Repub-
lican party. The latter believed the
free coinage OF silver to be the para
mount issue, in national politics, and
found other political parties willing to
join them in declaring for the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio OF 10 to |.
Should the next National Democratic
Convention make free coinage the par.
amount issue, it would be the natural
conclusion that the Silver Republicans
would prefer TO perpetuate the alliance
formed in 1898, silver being the vital
question with them.
There has never been a time when
the Silver Republicans have FELT that
they were other than true Republicans
in every way, based upon the Republi-
can record prior TO the st. Louis con-
vention. In the last state convention
they declared for expansion, hence we
can find no fault with the present adj
ministration prosecuting the war in
the Philippines.
No dissolution OF the Silver Repub-
lican party Is thought OF at the pres
ent time. All parties recognize the
undeniable fact, that the Silver Repub-
licans now hold the balance OF power
in the state Of Idaho.
1t would be the height OF folly at
this time to abandon that advantage;
and it would seem that other political
organizations 10 Idaho, recognize that
1t would be better to have the Silver
Republicans united with them as
powerful and organized ally. than as
dismembered and disorganized COM
pany. The Silver Republicans are not
and will not become Democrats, nor
follow any leadership into the Demo
cratic camp, and will act as a uuit In !
the next campaign.
These are only my personal views
and impressions. ! do not speak for
others OF my party. We have not
abandoned free coinage. We have not
dissolved. Our organization is In good
working order. We hold the balance
1f power, and doubtless there Is wis.
ION enough in the organization to do
shat is best for the cause when the
line for action comes.
Yours very truly,
NJ, PATRIE.

HONORS FOR THE BRAVE.
President Mckinley Issues an Order
in Connection with the Interments
of Our Dead Soldiers. ~

~ Washington, April AIN connection
with the interment of the remains of
$50 soldiers who lost their lives in the
Spanish war, President Mckinley is
sued the following executive order:
1T is fitting that in behalf of the nation
tributes of honor be paid to the memories
Of the noble men who lost their lives IN
their country's service during the late war
with Spain. 1t is the more fitting mas
much as in consonance with the spirit OF
our free institutions, and in obedience to
the most exalted promptings of patriot
ism, those who were sent to other shores
to do battle for their country's honor under
their countrys flag went freely from every
quarter Of our beloved land. Each soldier,
each sailor parting from home ties and
putting behind him private interests 1nthe
presence of the stern emergency OF I'M
sought war with an alien foe was an in
dividual type of that devotion OF the citl-
zen to- the state which makes our nation
strong in unity and in action.
'Those whoAdied in another land left In
many homes the undying memories that
attend the heroic dead of all ages. 1t was
fitting that with the advent OF peace, won
by their sacrifice, their bodies should be
gathered with tender care and restored to
home and kindred This has been done
with the dead of Cuba and Porto Rico.
Those of the Philippines still rest where
they fell, watched over by their surviving
comrades and crowned with the love of a
grateful nation.
1.-THE remains of many brought to our
shores have been delivered to their families
for private burial. But for others of the
brave officers and men who persisted there
has been reserved interment in ground sa
cred to the soldiers and sailors amid the
tributes of military honor and national
mourning they have so we'll deserved.
nr6a Ia r..
rival of the cortege at the national ceme
terry at Arlington all proper military and
naval honors be paid to the dead heroes;
that suitable ceremonies shall attend their
interment; that the customary salute of
mourning be fired at the cemetery and
that on the same day at two o'clock p. M,
Thursday, the sixth day of April, the ma
tional flag be displayed at half staff on
all public buildings, forts, camps and pub

THE greatest diving feat ever achiev-
ed was in moving the cargo of the ship
Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of
South America, when a diver named
Hooper made seven descents to the
depth of over 200 feet, remaining at
one time az minutes under the water.
An authority states that the greatest
depth to which a man has been known
to descend does not exceed 22O feet,
which is equivalentto pressure of $50
pounds to the square inch.
