Fusion a Lost Cause.

1t is evident, even to the most
casual observer, that fusion is
losing issue in Idaho, as elsewhere
in the Union. The fact that Du-
bois is being interviewed so fire.
quently, shows his anxiety to rush
into print to bolster up lost
cause; but his followers will have
none OF it, and are free to say so,
as the follow ing from the Pocatello
Tribune will testify. The Tribune
was the strongest South Idaho ex-
ponent of the Dubois movement,
and its breaking away at this time
Is significant fact that shows
clearly that disruption is near at
hand, that the Rubicon is reached
and that those who follow their
leader across the line are deeply
dyed with democracy.
The Tribune says:
1T must be evident to all that
here in Idaho nine silver republi-
cans out of ten are absolutely
through with fusion, and will
never listen to that proposition
again. 1t is just as evident that
the democratic party has no use
for the silver republicans what
ever, except their votes in the
hour of necessity. 1t is Just as
evident that while silver republi.
can leaders have been talking de,
mocracy, the rank aud file have
dismissed it, and that silver repub
licanism in Idaho, at least, i.
already a thing of the past. There
is just now demand for q little
common honesty in affairs political.
The time for the disbanding of the
silver republican party has come,
Those who are willing to follow
the lead OF the democracy should
become democrats. Those who
are not ready to accept democratic
principles should return to the
republican party. We have nc
sympathy with the idea Of holding
together the silver republican or
ganization for the purpose of rak.
ing chesnuts out of either republic
can or democratic fires for the ben.
eht of few individuals. The
rank and file Of the party will no,
submit to any such proposition. +"

--- - - So
Shifting The Issue.

During the past Idaho has
moved along without any stirring
events except such as have been
inspired by patriotism. says the
Caldwell Tribune. The 4th was
pretty generally celebrated, and
and from all reports we Judge that
unusual enthusiasm prevailed.
Boise celebrated the day in a very
creditable style aud with much
display. The orator Of the day
was Lieutenant. Governor Hutch
inson. and he is reported to have
made an exceptionally vigorous
Grafton. One of his striking pas
sages, referring to the situation
In the PHILIPPINES. was: 1T is not
q question of honor. 1 voted
against Major Mckinley; but until
We are out of this trouble / am for
Idaho as against a Filipino; l am
for our president as again It Aguin-
aldo"
That is sound, patriotic talk;
and it is hoped that Mr.. Hutchin-
son will permit those high and pa.
triotic sentiments to be his constant
guide, and not do with them as
eloquent men often do with their
noblest aspirations-wra them up
with the discarded manuscripts
only to be used as reference ON fu-
ture state occasions.
Usually The Tribune does no,
attach much Importance to the de-
outbursts of 4th of July
but there is more than

The greatest railroad activity OF

Lewiston, and has Lewiston's trib-
utary country as an objective point.
Railroad lines to Camas Prairie, to
Buffalo Hump and to the Seven

the rich interior, will furnish by
far the greatest percentage of the
railroad building for the United

The best indication of Lewis
tons healthy growth Is the fact
that her substantial citizens are
backing the building boom. There
is no wild eating speculation in
the movement. The active de-

has been met by the enterprise OF
men who for years rave had faith

dence of these facts was brought
home to the American people by
Mr.. John Barrel, who has lately
returned from the scene OF action.
The speeches made by Senator
Hoar and other documents emen-
ating from the Auti-ex pansion
League have been translated into
the Spanish and Tagal languages,
and given wide circulation among
the followers of Aguinaldo. These
melted the outbreak, and have
since served to nerve the insur-
gents TO continue the hostilities till
the meeting of congress in Deccm-
Der, when, as they are led to believe
tht.President's policy will be turned
down and the troops recalled.
There is sad awakening in store
tor Aguinaldo. who has been mis-
led by misguided sentiment. At
the end of the present rainy season
he will come TO a full r, alization
of the fact that his American allies
have been turned down hard, and
that the strong arm of the govern
ment will speedily crush his insur-
rection. As to those at home who
are chargeable with such traitorous
results, the prick OF conscience and
the scorn of public opinion will
probably shame them into silence

Lewiston has the advantage OF
good location for a distributing
center, but to occupy its field prop
erly it must see to it that good
roads lead from the city to distant
points, from which we are to draw
trade. A report comes in from
the .Wa'lowa, in Oregon. saying
that for need Of a good wagon road
to Lewiston hundreds of families
are obliged to go I25 miles to other
markets. From the most distant
point Of this rich inland section
Lewiston is only seventy-6ve miles
away, and an outlay of a few hun.
bred dollars would build the road
way needed to bring the trade of
that locality to Lewiston. The
territory in question Is a growing
one, including a wide agricultural
area, aid the finest stock coun-
try known in the west. 1t is di-
rectly tributary to Lewiston, and
a road built on the natural water
grades between here and that coun.
try would be their best posi-
BILE outlet to market their pro-
duce and secure their supplies.
There is an opportunity at this
time TO secure the trade Of a rich,
growing section with the outlay o.
few hundred dollars. A com
mercial union can be effected
which will prove vastly beneficial
to both parties to the contract.

In old Kentucky the republicans
are expecting to profit by the con:

The big bridge is done.
Lewiston has had a mighty
growth in four years. Three
years ago Vineland had a
population of one lonesome old
bachelor. Today Nineland
has about 1900 people, being
fully as many as Lewiston
had in 1895. Vinelanders are
making money in fruits and
vegetables, but more in the
advance i'll values of their
lands. One man has cleared
81, 500 in cash on an original
investment of 500; by i'm
proving small places for sale

others have done correspond
ingly we'll. The big bridge
enhances values over the
whole fat. Prices are con-
stantly rising. Choice resi-
dence sites near the bridge,
with cheap water, are still to
be had, only len minutes
walk from Lewiston postofhce,
at $I25 to $25o. 1t costs
nothing to investigate, includ

There is mo abatement iii the
mining activity in the interior.
The latest reports bear out the en-
enlargement given BY the earlier
ones that the present year should
lead to the discovery and develop
ment ofsomed the greatest min
eral deposits ever found in the
.cesntry.Since the time Of the
finding of placer gold in the earlier
days Of the gold discoveries, the
prospectors have had abiding faith
that rich gold lodges would sooner
or later be found at or near the
great placer feds. The discov-
cries of the year in Buffalo Hump,
Mallick and the zone extending
from the Clearwater through 10
the Seven Devils district on Snake
river, bear out the hope of the old
prospector. The lodges found are
large, and they carry good values
The properties are falling into the
hands of companies fully able to
exploit them, and bring to the
markets all their rich values. This
is the year of discovery. Next
year will be the year of develop
ment, and the prediction that the
new camps will he among the
greatest producers In the country
will be fully verified.

Dubois has been interviewed
again. He is still seeing things in
the night. the same Old apparitions
the republican party hugging
the hobgob.in of the gold
standard aud the democratic party
nursing the silver fetch. The
same old issue and the same old
candidates. Freddie says, are sure
to be before the people in the next
campaign. The statement that
Idaho would give to the democratic
party more silver republican votes
than in 1896 will cause many a
man to give the would.be senator
the significant smile. Politics and
policies have changed in Idaho.
In 1900 things will be different.
The contingent sent to the repub-
lic,n convention will attempt no
pyrotechnic display. There will
be no boilers, no half way house to
lure the unwary. The issue will
be clear.cut. republicanism versus
democracy. Dubois has already
made his alliance with the demo-
Gratis. Some Of his immediate fol
lowers will join him in his fight
against the republican party aud
its measures, state aud national,
but greater number will take is
sue with the democracy and fight
as they have before to maintain
our national supremacy, national
dignity and national integrity.
Believing that the old issues have
been settled in satisfactory man.
ner aud that the new issues are
supreme, they win not hesitate to
ally themselves with that party
that seeks to uphold the govern
ment. rather than the one that
seeks to give encouragement aud
eomfort to the enemy.

The anti-expansion leaders have
now to face the rather serious
charge Of aiding and abetting the
enemy in encouraging the Fill
pinos in their rebellion against
American authority. They are
chargeable both with the outbreak
and the prolongation Of the war in
the Philippines. But for them, the
attack upon our forces at Manila,
which was made the day preceding
the vote on the Spanish treaty in
the senate. would never have
taken place. and but for them. the
war would have been long since
abandoned. The conclusive evil

ment and politics that all modern

recognize the primary" or
caucus as the root OF bossism and
domination. Any scheme for
reform In our election and
nominating machinery which does
not recognize this fact Is irrational
