Nothing Else To Howl About.

The Democrats dare not 60 be-
fore the people on the question
of Tariff for Protection-they re-
pealed Protection and plunged
the country into hard times and
poverty, and they dare not go be-
fore the people on that issue.
They are afraid to raise again the
cry of free silver and dishonest
money-they were beaten out of
sight on that issue in the last cam
paign, and they wish to get up
some new issue. What shall it
be? Why, say the Democrats,
let us howl against the trusts.
True, the Republicans have legis-
lated against trusts, and the
Democrats, when they had the
power, did not, but we can fool
the people and get into power if
we howl loud enough and long
enough against the trusts. At
any rate we have got to try it,
for in these blooming times of
Republican prosperity and plenty
there is nothing else left for the
Democrats to howl about,-Free-
port (Ill.) Journal.

IDAHO ASSESSMENTS.
IT,. Taxes From Telegraph and Telephone
Companies.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. I6.-The
state board of equalization ex-
meets TO complete its business to-
morrow. 1t practically closed it
up today, with the exception of
fixing the assessments on patent
edlands, all being increased with
the exception of Cassia county.
The latter was decreased 10 per
cent from an average of So an
acre to $40. The total increase
on patented lands is 81, 200, 782, :
IS.
Increases were made on stock
cattle as follows: Elmore county,
10 per cent, from $Io6,92o,o3 to
$r17,812.o8; Latah county, 10
per cent, from $2o,o44 to $22,-
$3.50; Nez Perez, Is per cent,
from &c., 21 to $8o,o87.r4.
The assessment of the Western
Union Telegraph Company was
fixed at SIS a mile for the first
wire and $12 for each additional
wire. Last year the assessment
was SIS and $50. The Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Com
pany is assessed at sos on the
first wire and SIS on each adj
ditional wire. Last year the
assessment was 500 and $1o.
The Desert Telegraph Com
pany was assessed at $45 mile,
the Inland Telephone at Sos, and
SIS for each additional wire. In
Bannock County an increase was

of some of the leaders of the par
ty to avoid the quieksands in
which the party sunk three years
ago. The standard bearer of
1896, It is true, appears to be
keen for the retention of the free
silver issue, but too many leading
members are convinced of its
hopelessness to admit of its again
being galvanized into the activity
it manifested in 1895. The free
silver leader is also an opponent
of expansion, but the temper of a
people just emerging from VIC
torious war is hardly Of nature
to lend itself to opposition upon
this ground, and it is certain that
many Democrats will vote for the
administration if any issue shall be
made upon this point. Much has
been made Of the antitrust issue,
but upon this it is only fair to ex-
pect that both parties will take
positions which it will require fine
discrimination to distinguish. Up
on the various points raised the
opposition has the doubtful adj.
vantage of the choice of position;
the administration party is to a
large extent compelled by events.
1t is obliged to stand for the
things that it has maintained, and
to that extent cannot choose its
ground; but this limitation may
be regarded rather as an element
of strength than Of weakness
among a people to whom positive
and definite opinions and actions
have always appealed with pecu-
liar force.-Bradstreet's.

the action of that so-called union
which not only said who
should work, but if others under
took TO work they were killed or
run out Of the country, and for
seven years carried their lawless-
ness on. In MIR. Ratchford's es-
timation, evidently the edict of
the governor of the state in his
efforts to restore order does not
compare in authority to the edict
of the so-caAed miners union,
working with dynamite, revolvers

citizens. We have a report from

soon to show just exactly how

ate opinion is that Mr.. Ratchford
is a dishonest man, that he did not
go there to make an investigation

Political Outlook In the United States.

Ii is seldom that the line of
cleavage between national parties
is so nebulous as it now happens
to besin the United States. At
the last presidential election the
issue was defined with sufficient
clearness. 1t was between sound
money on the one hand and de-
mand for free coinage of silver
at the ratio of I6 to I on the
other. Many things, however,
have happened since that issue
was forced upon the electors of
the country. A steady move
ment in the direction of improved
material conditions has removed
the basis of discomfort which gave
the main element of strength to
the proponents of the free-silver
heresy. The abundance of gold
provided by the increased pro-
ductiveness of the mines has de-
stroyed the arguments based up
on the alleged scarcity of the
worlds standard money metal.
The successful conduct of a for
eign war has given the admins
tration at Washington prestige
which mistakes in the conduct of
one of the great departments and
the failure to put an end to the
Filipino instruction have not suf-
feed seriously to weaken. The
fact that the work of the govern
ment remains unfinished, coupled
with the general feeling that il
should be. completed, seems to
put the administration in a posi-
ton from which it will require q
revolution in public opinion to re-
move it.

The Democracy Next Year.

10 the delegation of Iowa
Democrats asking counsel as to
their platform, Mr., Bryan the
other day said:
If new issues arise which seem to be
OF more Importance than those of the
past it is proper for the party to give
prominence to and even use them az
the basis of a campaign.
And again in speaking to the
Democratic county chairman of
that same State he said:
We need not repudiate syllable nor
idea of the Chicago platform. But
when new and important issues arise
we can take them into the family and
make the campaign upon them with.
out apologizing for any past fight.
Putting these two together we.
take it, and we are joined in be-
lief by the strongest Democratic
papers of the East, when the
Democratic convention meets
next year it will, in a prefunctory
way, indorse the old Chicago
platform of 1896, but the burden
of the complaint will be against
trusts, against expansion and i'm
perilaism, and all Democrats will
work in harmony. AS we said
the other day, Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Whitney and
Senator Jones, Mr.. Watterson
and Senator White will all vote
the same ticket. In the east they
will say they are fighting for the
gold standard. In the West they
will say they are fighting for free
silver, and the voter who pays
his money will take his choice.
Mr.. Croker has joined the Bryan
forces and at the same time he
sneers at silver at I6 to I or any
other ratio, and thinks Congress
can fxit. 1t will be so every
where, and the burden of the
campaign will be, not on honest,
national high ground principle,
but rather, as the Philadelphia
Press says, "behind the ticket will
stand all the lands discomfort"
And we do not believe that that is
going to win. 1t would make us
think less of the people of the
United States if we thought il
would. The danger is that moi
only present animosities will be
worked up to fever heat, but
some of the old animosities which
we had fondly hoped were forever
buried will be exhumed and made
} to do their part so far as possible
Indeed, little of that spirit is al

regiments he is raising in the
Philippines from the volunteers
whose regiments are being sent
home to be mustered out, and
from the regulars whose enlist
ments have expired. There will
be in the Philippines or on the
way about 10000 men, so the
Adjutant General reports, by
October 22, which is before the
date at which it is understood that
the new forward movement is to
begin.
With an army Of 10000 men in
the field, the probability is that
the rebellion can be subiugated
inside of three or four months at
the latest. 1t must be remember
ed that, as compared with the
new Condition, the Americans
were under many serious disad-
vantages in the campaign which
closed a few weeks ago. They
did not expect the uprising. 1t
began when the campaigning
season was about half over. The
numbers and style of fighting of
the Filipinos were unknown to
OTIS men. OTIS army was
much smaller than it will be when
the next campaign begins. More
over, Aguinaldo thought last
February, when he rose against
the Americans, that he would
have practical aid from the "anti
imperialists' of the United States
from the IIoars, the Atkinsons,
the organs, tie Germans, the
Vests and their congeners. He
supposed that a little resistance on
his side would arouse the flag
furlers to come to his rescue and
force the administration to remove
the troops from the islands, In
all these important particulars the
situation will be changed when
the time comes for the advance
ag ainst the rebels.
In every particular the condi-
tions will be better for the Ameri-
cans than they were when Aguin-
aldo made his fsrt assault on Otis
in the early days of February of
this year. The American com
manders and their men have had
experience in fighting in the is
lands. They will expect the
fighting to take place, whether il
does or not. There will be al
least twice as many men 10 dc
the fighting as were on hand in
the recent campaign. They have
a good knowledge of the country
around Manila, which they did no
possess when the rebellion be-
gan last winter. The copperhead'
in this country have been pretty
thoroughly cowed by recen
events, and their pernicious acti-
vity will be diminished hence
forth. When the MARYLAND
Democratic Convention the othe

is his right and duty to restore

or legitimate right to say who shall

their labor within its border, nor
has it right to say to employers
whom they must and whom they
must not employ.
"That the miners organization
is criminal, l emphatically deny;
but that, like organizations Of
men, criminals have found Their
way into it, and have committed
crime in the name of organized
labor, the penalty for which must
