SAVING THE COUNTRY AGAIN,

The Lewiston Tribune, the or
gan Of Idaho Democracy, is TAX
ing the same road to get awav
from the silver corpse that the
Salt Lake Tribune travels. The
Lewiston organ, in a recent edi-
torial, complacently announces
that, "The silver question, with
out regard to its essential merits,
has no great force at this time"
and it adds, ",The people will not
care to change the standard as
long as money is easy and times
are good" That is the way the
Salt Lake Tribune talks, and it
begins to look as though there
was race on between Silver
Republicans and Silver Demo-
Gratis to determine which can get
the farthest away from silver be-
fore the opening of the next CAM
paign. You viii notice that the
silver organs are piping very
different lay this fall from that
which they piped in the fall of
'95. The whole burden of their
song then was, nothing-abso-
lutely nottingham save the
country from going to rags and
gibbets except the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 10 to without the con-
sent of any other nation in this or
any other world. Now they tell
US that silver doesn't amount to
much either way, and the thing
to do to save the country is to
yell imperialism" and whoop
'em up for Aguinaldo.

PREsENT AND FUTURE.

The Gem State Rm4lremarks
that "Idaho should enact some
Legislation looking to the saving
Of her forests, Well, now, that
is unkind in the face Of the river
Improvement bill passed by the
last legislature. But, seriously,
why should Idaho save her for
ests9 Who shall she save them
for? If the principle of saving
our natural resources is a good
one, why not save our silver and
our gold and our lead? If the
whole purpose of this generation
10 to look out for the next, let us
60 at it in proper shape. Let us
build complete irrigation systems
but refrain from using the lands
because it will impoverish them
and place posterity under the
necessity Of artifcially fertilizing
them. Let us build macadam
roads all through the forests, but
save the trees for pOsterity. Let
us develop all the mines, but
leave the precious metals for the
benefit of coming generations.
We do not know how the Rural
feels about it, but, for ourself may
say. if there are any good things
in this State, existing contempor-
aneously with this generation, we
are just Sordid enough to want all
we can get out of them. Poster
ity is a good thing and we regard
it highly-indeed feel a direct
personal interest in it, but blow
our buttons, if we feel like saving
the whole cheese for generations
yet unborn, who are liable to fall
into the middle of a meteoric
shower before they get old enough
to enjoy the good things ancestry
bequeathed them.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-11-18

suggestive of the fsherman's
luck-the big ones always get
away and the little ones are not
worth keeping. Out of about
1900 men connected with the
Cnur d'Alene riot, the State au-
thorities claim that they could
have punished nine, but having
permitted eight to escape they
were obliged to be satisfied with
the conviction of one, which, as
they regard it, is doing very well,
indeed, for Democratic officials.
And, indeed, it is doing very well
when you consider who did it,
Such business would of course
eternally blast aRepuDlican admin
istration, but it reflects a degree
OF credit on Democracy, and we
may therefore, with much justice,
throw small bouquet at the feet
of those beautiful immortelles,
Sinclair and Hayes; for, when
their Gin memorium" is written
it will testify of one as the most
finished and fecund producer Of
proclamations, and of the other,
as the most persistent prosecutor
of newspaper interviews, pro-
duced in this or any other age.

of opinion, and to charge the adj
yocates Of either plan with undue
sel6shness or any improper mo-
tive would be unjust. The Tar
BuNE is disposed to favor the
larger district, although subse-
quent developments and new
lights may radically alter our
views. AT the present moment
the argument in favor of the
larger district seems conclusive.
The facts, as they appear to US
are about as follows: The larger
district is not so large but that it
can be easily and thoroughly man
aged by a single organization.
That constitutes an element OF
economy, which would largely
Offset the probable difference in
first cost. But admitting the di-
rect cost per acre would be some
what greater under the larger
than the smaller district, it seems
to us that there are amply compen-
sating advantages in the larger
district. The larger district means
the rapid Improvement and cul-
tivation of 10000 acres Of land,
instead of 10000, as would be the
case with the smaller district; it
means that Caldwell will become
a trade center of three to one
greater Importance; it means the
release of three to one as many
speculative holdings; it means
prosperity to three to one as many
people; in short it is kind of
three to one better proposition in
every respect, except first cost.
We believe the larger district
should go.

Many sincere and sympathetic
people labor under the impression
that the Filipinos constitute a com
pact, self-governing nation and
that the invasion of the Philippine
islands by the Americans robs
them of their liberties. This is
all wrong. There are some So
distinct tribes in the Philippines,
differing tundamently in language
and customs. They were until
the signing and ratification of the
peace treaty, subjects of Spain,
and the worst thing that can now
befall them is to become wards of
the United States. This is, in
deed, exactly the thing desired by
about nine tenths of them. AS to
the legal and moral rights in
volved by American OCCUPANCY
OF the Philippines, there can be
no question. The title of the
United States to sovereignty over
those islands was acquired in the
same way that it was in Californ-
ia New Mexico, Arizona or any
part of the Mexican cession and |
is therefore just as sacred. The
FlllpinoS now in revolt against |
united States authority are Just
as much rebels as were the peo-
pie OF Louisiana in 1861; and it
now :, is just as much the duty of
this government to put down the
! in the Philippines as
I was its duty to put down the
rebellion of 1861. How the.Phil-
PPlnes shall finally be disposed
't is not a question for present
That remains for

AsMALL BOUQUET.

The dispatches announce the
arrival at the San Quinten peni-
Tertiary of the ten Coeur d'Alene
dynamiters, who, because they
were supposed to be criminally
connected with the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan tragedy, were pros
ecuted for interrupting the Uni
ted States mails and punished for
it, because the State authorities
were unable or unwilling to con-
viCt them of actual crime. Looked
at in the most charitable light this
is certainly a humiliating situation
for the State administration to
be placed in. The damaging
fact cannot be escaped; that the
evidence which convicted those
men of interfering with the Uni
ted States mails would necessarily
convict them of completely in the
Wardner outrages. Why, then,
did not Attorney General Hayes
secure that evidence? Since he
and the illustrious Sinclair an
Rounced in trumpet tones their
unfaltering determination to pun
Ssh every man connected with the
awful crime at Wardner, six
weary months have passed by,
two terms of the district court
have been held, the assistance of
two of the ablest lawyers in Idaho
has been enlisted, the purse strings
of the mine owners have been
loosened and the strong arm of
the Federal government has been
invoked; yet, but one man has
been convicted of completely in
the criminal destruction of life and
growing out of the Ceur
d'Alene riot of April 40. How
does it happen that United States
Attorney Cozier, without any fuss
or grand stand play, managed
10 convict 10 out of IS of the ri
Oters, while the States Attorney
General after dazzling the coun-
Try with pyrotechnics has only
convicted I poor devil out of 1900?
We are complacently told that
The eight men upon whom the
State had the immortal cinch es-
caped. That kind of a dog and
hare story does infinite credit to
he inventive genius of the State
authorities and may serve TO quiet |
he suspicious of a few purblind |
Democrats, but it will not be
aiken seriously by discerning peo-
'le. 1t is a pitiful yarn at best,

With respect to the irrigation

room here for honest differences

congress to determine and con-
gress win no doubt settle the
business in accordance with the
will of majority Of the Ameri-
can people. This fact stands out
prominently, though, congress has
never yet alienated any territory
rightfully possessed by the Unit
ed States, and there is not likely
to be any new departure in re-
spect Of the Philippine islands.

DEWEY VS.. AouINALDo EFT. Al

"No alliance of any kind wa
entered into with Aguinaldo, no
was any promise ofindependenc,
made to him then May, 1893
or at any other time" This is
the written and signed statement
of Admiral Dewey, and the PEG
pie of the United States must ac-
cept it as a positive truth or rate
the hero of Manila bay as a flag
rant and unconsionable liar. Fol
months such men as Bryan,
Schurz, Atkinson and Cochran
have been dilating on the treach-
cry and faithlessness of the Ad-
ministration at Washington,
With all the eloquence and zeal
they possess they have been tell
ing the people of the broken al
lance with Aguinaldo, and the
broken promise of independence
to the Filipino insurgents Now,
Admiral Dewey says fatty and
emphatically that no suck alliance
ever existed and no such promise
was ever made. Who shall we
believe, ambitious orators, dis
appointed politicians, decayed
statesmen and soured philosophers,
all of whom were nine thousand
miles from the scene, or the man
who was on the spot, and knows
all the facts9 The supporters of
Aguinaldo in the United States
will do well to be more cautious
hereafter in talking about broken
alliances and shattered promises,
for when they charge on this gov
eminent an act of treaehery in its
dealings with Aguinaldo, they
are liable to be denouncing
George Dewey as mendacious
scoundrel, and it is highly proba-
bic that the American people
will not take kindly to that sort of
thing. We do not know how others
feel, we do not know what they
believe, but for ourselt, in matters
relating to the Philippines, we
would rather follow the advice
and accept the statements of Adj
miral George Dewey than place
our faith in the organs and At
kinsOns, and we suspect that
about every truly loyal and patri-
otic citizen of this republic is
feeling very much the same way.

DON'T MENTION 1T.

S. S. Judd of Caldwell talking
through the Gem State Rural
says:
Combines are the order of the
day, from corn pepper to a sugar
trust. In fact every interest COM
bines except farming. How would
1t do for the farmers to try their
hands as matter of self .protec-
ton? If it is a good thing We
need it.
Hist, Judd, don't mention it,;
for there is the Caldwell Cream
cry combine, and the Idaho Fruit
Growers combine and (incident-
ally) the Cooper combine and
the Kansas Corn Growers COM
bine and the California Fruit
Growers combine and the Miss.
issippi Valley Farmers Trust and
the Southern Cotton Planters
Trust and the Utah Beet Sugar
Growers combine and they do
say that up at Nampa they are
forming a wild onion combine.

When we read Democratic
comment on the late elections, the
conclusion is forced upon us that
Democracy has now reached that
stage in its downward career
where itregards anything short of
utter humiliation as glorioas VIC
tory.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-11-18

Spain.
On the morning of May 7, 1893,
Amiral Dewey, commanding the
American feet, sailed into Ma
Mia bay, destroyed the Spanish
fleet and silenced the guns of the
Spanish fort at Cavite, but the
Spanish still held the city of Ma
Mia and Spanish authority was still
supreme in the Philippines. Il is
true that Dewey could at any time
compel the nominal capitulation Of
Manila, but he had no army with
which to invest and actually hold
the city, so this government had
either to dispatch land forces to
Dewey's aid or abandon the sub
stantial fruits of his glorious vic
tory. In the meantime, between
the destruction of the Spanish
fleet and the arrival of the Amer
lean land forces, Dewey, as le-
gitimate war meaSute, permitted
the return of Aguinaldo for tn
express purpose of encouraging
the Filipinos in their Instruction
airy tendencies, and thus weaken
ing and embarrassing the enemy
Spain. Aguinaldo was success
full in fomenting the Filipinos and
gathered about him large force
which was stationed at Cavite.
Upon the arrival of General An
derson with the American troops
Aemiral Dewey requested Aguin-
aldo to evacuate Cavite and he
promptly removed to Bacoor.
Up to this time Aguinaldo had
protested warm attachment to the
Americans, and his so-called
cabinet prepared an address to
President Mckinley, acknowledge
ing the sovereignty of the United
States and suggesting the kind o f
government they Considered most
suitable. On one pretext and
another Aguinaldo prevented the
sending of the address. 1t seems
that about this time the idea of
independence was forming in Ag-
uinaldo's mind and he was already
meditating an attack upon the
Americans. The idea presently
took hold of his followers, and
eliminated in the attack on the
night of February 4. There re-
then only one thing for
the Americans to do, either stand
and fight or turn tail end run for
their lives, and because they did
not run, the anti-expansionists
will never forgive them.
