1t is whispered that the receipts were

The race talk. and cooperative zeal
at Baltimore, Md, ct the District Con-
vention does not amount to three
cents. Why have they q separate dis
tinct convention from the ''white

colored race can do something. That
is just what il is with other colored en-

Representative French, of Latah

Representative French, of Latah
county, has taken high grounds in
his demand for an appropriation.
He resents the ordinary methods
of exchanging favors that prevail
in all legislative bodies. He has
been approached with the old offer
that, Il will help you if you will
help me-" and he classes this man
ner of influence as dishonorable.
No one will attempt to deny the
correctness of this position, but all
who understand the inside work
ings OF making bodies will re-
greet the fact that Mr.. French with
a good cause depending upon his
diplomacy took such a stand. The
Legislative promoter of worthy
schemes must not attempt such rad
ical innovations as to stand upon
honor or even the justice of his
cause. Whatever must come
through political avenues must be
conveyed on the ordinary political
vehicle. Nobody will doubt that
Mr.. French was approached, as
he claims, with offers of votes for
his scheme for votes. The only
wonder is that he regarded the
matter of sufficient importance to
mention the matter outside the
caucus meeting in which the
university appropriations was dis
cussed. Mr.. French is too guile
less to be successful legislator in
/ Idaho.

The Steunenberg plan of revivi-
flying dead issues was surely prolific
of results. An instance of the
practical working Of the plan is il
lustrated in the giving of new life
to the dead act that created the
normal school and established a
board OF regents The re-enacted
old law rehabilitates J.. w. Reid, J..
w. Poe and J. M. Howe as the
board of regents for the normal.
The plan of administration and
the legislative work that place a
man who has been dead for FIVE
years in nomination and qualities
him for Office is not progressive in
an eminent degree. Is there an
opitimist in Idaho that believes we
will have comprehensive and in
telligible code when the present leg
islature adjourns 1t would be
well to pass a general law to elm
mate all inconsistencies and incon.
gruities out of all the old and new
laws of Idaho, and engage an in
telligent typewriter to carry out
the provisions Of the same.

The New York Journal suggests
Messrs. Cleveland, Carnagie and
Bryan as champions of anti-expan-
sion. Cleveland Is best known as
an apostle of free trade and hard
times, and the most unpopular
man who ever sat in the presiden-
tial chair. Carnagie Is the ideal
iron trust promoter and is noto-
rious for employing Pinkerton de-
tectives to shoot down working
men. And Mr.. Bryan is only
known by his glib speech in a
fruitless endeavor to force upon
the American people a 5o-csnt dol
lar. 1t is truly suggestive that
this trio of extremists should come
together on an issue in the end.

The dispatches announce that
the Filipinos are encouraged to
keep up their warfare by the press
and public men of America. This
is, perhaps, the only instance on
record where the condition exists
of savage warfare being abetted
by the ordinary agencies of the
highest form of civilization. The
brave volunteers are standing up
to the dead line, while the papers
and members of congress encour-
age the savage foe. Even the
members of the Red Cross society
are fred upon by the barbarians,
and the wounded in their hospitals
have been killed. The vilest plots
to massacre the whole population
OF the islands have been encour-
aged and abetted by the same
American agencies. The valor
and vigilance of tie American SOL
diers have averted these horrible
crimes, but the friends of Aguin-
aldo in this country are none the
less guilty than they would have
been had the plots been carried
out.

A local effort should be made to
secure and supply the public with
authentic information about the
various mining districts tributary
to this city. A depot of correct
and reliable information would at
tract investors in large numbers.
If some live commercial represent
alive would take the matter in
hand mass of valuable matter
could be collected, aud the agency
back of the scheme would give the
matter weight. The public is
waiting for this knowledge more
than for knowledge of routes and
sources of supply. If Lewiston
could gain reputation as place
where people could gain knowl-
edge of new camps and unpreju-
diced advice generally about invest
ing and prospecting, the other ad
vantages would follow as a matter
of course.
