OF course the girl, being black,
is tried and found guilty by pub
lie sentiment. without Judge or
jury, and known offender
against the peace and dignity of
the community helped to es-
cape. Wise men, very wise men,
indeed. If your little daughter
had been treated as that colored
mothers daughter has been treat
ed and this sentiment poked at
you It would have no doubt
tickled You so much that you
would have walked up to him
who had dishOnored her and ask
his forgiveness, we supposed.
But to return to the affair at
Nampa. This man Shaefer is a
dangerous man TO any commun-
ty. He has violated little col
ored girl, maybe next time it viii
be white girl and maybe your
daughter or your sister. He
should be brought to justice and
a sufficient reward should be Of
fered by the proper officers to in
sure his return and punishment.
It was a dirty, dastardIy, crime,
and the men who aided that mon.
sters escape, and abetted his vile
acts by their sympathy and COM
fort are far viler than even he, the |
brutal ravisher.

God or not, but hoped there is
one. If the Record had read any
of IngersoPs works, and COM
pared them with what in the re-
ligious world is called "higher
criticism" he. would find that In
gersol was not more than a lap
ahead of it and losing ground
continually, and old Tom Paine,
with his cage of Reason" once
the terror of religious souls, is SO
far behind the times that parts OF
his work are being used as religi-
Gus tracts. And if Ingersol had died
a painful, lingering death, the
chances are he might have denied
Gods existence entirely. But
then the Record don't know this,
and nobody expected it did. The
Record gets really comical,
though, when it talks about taxes,
and after figuring out that the
valuation has been about doubled,
congratuIates the county on the
fact and feels that a reduction of
about one-third in the rate would
be about what the equalizers will
make it. We suppose this would
be in accordance with that econ
omy incident to good business
methods which the fusionists have
and the Record humbly
bows its head, muttering amen.

OUGHT TO BE PRESIDENT.

Democracy is hard pressed for
argument these days, and there
by hangs a tale. That poor old
party is up stump. Her grand
idea of free trade, lately tried, has
proved a failure; it has proven a
failure every time Democracy has
ever tried it. But that makes no
difference with Democracy. A
little failure now and then is rel
ished by it, and the greater the
failure it seems the more it is rel
ished. Whether the failure is the
fault of the party, the natural re-
suit of the principle, or both, we
don't think necessary to state at
this writing. 1t failed; that ought
to be sufficient for anybody ex-
cePt good Democrat. If a man
should rise from the dead and tell
Democracy it was failure it
wouldn't believe It. When it
found that free trade was a poor
idea, and put into practice work
ed disastrously, it didn't have a
funeral and bury the dead old
thing as decent folks would have
done; not at all. 1t didn't even
abandon the idea. Rather, it
took up the poor, torn mishapen
thing, wiped it off, wrapped it
in oil, and hugging it to its breast
hoping to resurrect it later. But
Democracy in the depth of its be-
reavement did not despair, but
sprung the idea of free silver. OF
course, we don't mean to say that
free silver would have failed to
work all right; it might have,
but then we will be generous and
give Democracy the benefit of the
doubt. 1t wasn't tried lately, and
perhaps, under new conditions, it
might have worked out a. right.
But Democracy has been such an
unskillful physician, her patent
cure-alls have failed to cure any
thing and so we have some cause
10 fear that free silver is like the /:
rest.In 1896, Democracy was,lilSe
a drowning rat, and any old thing
would have been just as welcome
as free silver if it thought il would
make it float. But free silver
coming handiest, it just adopted
he little fellow, and the fatherless
hing at least found 3 mother ia
Democracy. But it gotinto peor
and Democracy has
been just about the ruination of
t. Now Democracy fears that
nee silver is not the charmer it
opce was, and so it is. trying to
work up some other idea, and it
goes after the trusts. Il knows
hat everybody on the outside of
he trusts think they are bad
Kings, and shouldn't be tolerated
n good society, and only the few
IN the inside think they are all
light. And as more voters are
IN the outside than are on the in
tide, Democracy finds out that
trusts are very bad things. III
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-07-29

doesn't adopt the idea because it
exactly believes in the righteous
ness of the cause, but it simply
becomes a question of votes with
it. If it thought that fighting for
the trusts would draw to her more
votes than fighting against would,
it would be for the trusts first,
last and all the time. Then
again Democracy is becoming a
sort of an Aguinaldo sympathizer,
not that il loves that half -caste
butcher over in the Philippines,
not at all. Democracy has learn
ed that a few fellows down east
are anti-expansionists, and a few
votes would come IN down there
very handy, and Democracy is
anti-expansion all over even to
its vermiform appendix. 1t is.
now sort of going back sOn silver,
having a couple Of other vote
children that need sup
port. Republicans are also for
ninst the trusts. They were first
in the ring to fight them, and
they have been fighting them
ever since. Down there in 1902
at Washington the Republicans
passed a law against them called
the Sherman antitrust law, but
the Democrats didn't enforce it.
Down in Ohio this year the Re-
publicans, declared against the
trusts, put a good antitrust
clause in their platform, and nov
around here the newsPapers-
Democratic newspapers, we. mean !
they are Inconsistent.
They have>this to say:

IN his fight against the STANDARD

The above is from the .SiIpey
Blade published at Rathdrum, |
Idaho. We have seen the article
in other Democratic papers. Now
we know that Democracy is hard
pushed this year and we are real
y sorry for them. But John E.
MOnnett so it happens is "a Dem
ocrat. He is good man, and
mas character and brains enough
% make good Republican, and
We are sorry to say that he. is
lopelessly Democratic. He has
always been a Democrat as far
back as we know, and under the
administration of Grover the
Jreat, he was postmaster at Can
on, Ohio. The reason why he
wasn't put on the ticket was sim
ply because he was a Democrat
md wouldn't have accepted a
position on the Republican ticket.
Democracy is a regular fire-eat-

to educate in the ways OF moral
ity. Suppose you had a daagh-
ter who was the apple of your
eye, your pride and comfort, and
in whom you had conferred every
parental JOY and every aspiration,
one whom you loved as your
very soul. One for whom no
sacrifice was too great, or hard
ship too heavy to bear. And
this child had grown up as very
part of you, and whom you
wished 10 enjoy the highest NOR
al excellence, to be the very en-
bodiment Of all that is pure, holy
and innocent. And suppose fur
ther that child was fulfilling your
every expectation until she was
approaching fair young woman
hood, and one night she was sent
on an errand aud you in all conf
dence hoping her safe return, and
when she came home, came de-
spoiled of her purity, ravished by
brute in human form. What
would be your feelings when
such blow struck your home
and lighted upon your best and
fairest treasurer Could you con-
Ceive at this moment the fulncss
of your wrath2 Would you not
feel like seeking for the blood of
that recreant, and would any hold
you very guilty if for insulted and
abused innocence blood was shed?
Nothing on earth is more prec-
ious than virtue, than purity in
man or woman; it is a priceless
jewel, the thing that exalts one
to the highest point of moral ex-
Cellence, and should be treasured
as the precious thing on earth,
more valuable than rubies, and |
should be valued before life itself.
If a negro coming into our
midst should one night ravish
daughter of our white neighbor,
a moment would suffice to spread
the news about the town, and in
the shortest possible time mob
would be organized and in pur-
suit of that brute andif he were
caught he would be hanged to
the nearest tree, and the next
morning the county coroner
would have a job. Is not the pur-
ity of colored girl aS precious to
a colored mother, as isfhe purity
of a white girl to her white moth
er? Has not colored woman
the same feelings, the same love,
as her white sister? And should
not her child's outraged purity be
avenged by the strong arm of the
law? Put yourself in the place

to consider the subject freed from political
absurdites.
The annual report Of the Department OF
Agriculture states that the value OF horses In
the United States has increased SS2, 900, 600
within a year an average increase OF moro
than 10 per cent. This has taken place
in spite OF the talk OF coming horselcss
era. Cattle, other than milch cows, in
creased 10 per cent in value Mich cows
were worth S39,5OO,OOO more at the end OF
the year than at the beginning. Sheep,
which could hardly be given away under
the last democratic tarin, increased in value
$4,000 000 and in number i6O 600 Mules
also increased in value. The total increase
in a year in the value of domestic animals
is placed at Sl0S, ,3j5, ,4S2 a net gain Of 574
per cent. The party that promised pros

TALK ABOUT THE WAR.

Globe Democrat: The volunteers from the
transmississippi states have covered them
selves with glory in the Philippines cam
paign. They will receive a memorable well
come when they return to their admiring
fellow-countrymen.
Philadelphia Record: 1t is bitter
thought in connection with this Manila cam
paign that in it's evolution-or, rather, in
the downward trend of events-the allies
who hailed our fleet and army as deliyerers
from an intolerable Spanish yoke have been
converted, in their ignorance of the beneVo-
lent political policy cf this government, Into
vindictive and relentless enemies.
Buffalo Express: Another of the impe-
rialist delusions which the advance OF our
troops is dissipating is that the rebellion
was not n popular uprising, but that the
inhabitants would welcome relief from the
tyranny of Aguinaldo through the triumph
of our troops. Our advancing army finds
only deserted and devastated homes-no well
come from population eager for the peace
and order which 1t is the sole object OF our
sacrifices to give them.
Springfield Republican,: Maolos Is cap
tured by General Macarthur, but he has
entered a burning city which the Filipinos
have evacuated. The native army 1t ap-
pears, has retreated to the north, whittier
Aguinaldo and his cabinet went two or
three days ago, This confirms the fear that
the natives would not stake all on holding
their so-called capital. They have lSO miles
of railroad behind them. The capture of
Mslolos does not end the war.
Indianapolis journal; 1t Is somewhat re-
markable that there has never been any
serious complaint OF the rations and the
equipage of the first 10000 men sent TO
Manila, or OF that of the troops which have
| followed. A few days since General Otis
| telegraphed that the army possesses every
| thing necessary in the way of supplies. In
spite OF the long sea voyage and the un-
favorable conditions OF the climate the army
in the Philippines has been in fine condi-
! tion and well cared for from the fret.
Philadelphia Ledger: Not only the Fili-
pinos, but the civilized powers must be i'm
pressed by the steady advance OF the Ameri-
can forces Nothing stops them. They en-
| dure the terrible heat, which is perhaps the
worst foe they have to contend with; they
| reconstruct bridges almost as fast as the
enemy can destroy them. and his utmost
! efforts do not impede them for a single day
| Aguinaldo and his men must have consider
able pluck to endure this style of fighting
with never the ghost Of success for them
| selves, a. long as they have.
