PLAIN TALK FROM IDAHO.

The Boise Capital reports that the
Statesman. which has endorsed most of
Mark Hanna's policies from the time OF
that oracle's appearance in the forum
of American politics, has surrendered
in toto, and no longer sees any hope
for silver save in Switzerland or some
other European country.
Nov and them saws the Capital,
by way of variety it quotes its fellow
apostate. the salt Lake Tribune, and
anon slebbers over some knockkneed
silver Republican who has a string up
his back instead of a spinal column
The StatesmaDs unctious quotation OF
the Salt Lake Tribune on the silver
question is Benedict Arnold citing Ju-
das Iscariot."
According to the Capital. the people
of Idaho, like the people of Utah, are
still loyal to the principle of independ-
emit bimetallism, and cannot be misled
by the little clique at the pie-counter
who have bartered principle for plums
and put in the time between meals eat
ing their own words and swallowing
their own predictions.
Neither the Statesman nor the Salt
Lake Tribune" says the Capital, carry
weight any more with earnest advo-
Gates of bimetallism. Both sheets are
under the ban Of silver people for their
base betrayal of their cause" 1t adj
monishes them to quit weeping over the
imaginary woes of silver Republicans
and go to work with the demoraiized
outfit TO which they have returned like
the canine Solomon told about, and
take UP what they rejected with such
ostentation three wears ago.
The Capital says: THE silver Repub-
leans will take care of themselves
without any advice from traitors. AS
for argument on the silver question,
there IS not enc quoted in either OF
these sheets against bimetallism for
which a crushing answer cannot be OBJ
tanned from its own columns of few
years ago.
Now that has been an undecided
point down here. Some seem to feel
that it is ungenerous to answer a gold
bug proselyte with his arguments of
twelve months ago. or to apply to him
the epithets he collected for the express
purpose of. shying them at the heads of
passing goldbugs. Others incline to the
opinion that until the deserters for
mally renounce ali their previous utter
ances and teachings on financial issues
they ought TO have them hurled in their
teeth every time they attempt TO make
an argument against pressing the sill
yer fight.

GRAND ARMY GRIEVANCES.

Cemmander-in-chief Shaw of the

BETTER CHANGE THE SUBJECT

A New York paper makes a vicious
attack on the supreme court Of Nevada
for deciding the election contest in.
favor Of Governor Sadler. 1t deplores
the result OF the litigation. not only be-
cause "Sadier is a Populist," but be-
cause he was governor of Nevada
when Corbett fought Fitzsimmons, and
not only signed the disgraceful bill
legalizing prizefighting in the state,
but went to the length of presenting
the champion belt to the conquering
bruiser.''
1t certainly seems that the less said
about this prizehghting business by
New York newspapers the better. If
there has been one finish fight pulled off
in Nevada there have been a hundred,
yes. thousand, in the state of New
York.
When Theodore Roosevelt was police
commissioner of New York City he
attended several of these so-called
glove contests, and made manifest his
keen interest in such exhibitions Of
skill. strength and endurance. He is
now governor Of that state. and the
highly moral journal that feels New
ada's disgrace 50 keenly endorsed him
for the place.

are unqualifiedly opposed to the reten-

tend that the war could be and should
be ended at once by giving the Filipi-
nos the assurance they have a right TO
expect of the independence TO which
they are entitled. If any stronger SEN
timent along this line has been ex-
pressed than those of these New Eng
land Republicans, we have not had
our attention called to it. Senator
Mason of the so-called banner Repub-
lican state of Illinois does not ''see any
necessity for a war on the Filipinos.
He says further: II believe that if we
had adopted a resolution in congress,
assuring those people, as we assured
the Cubans, that we had no selfish de-
signs upon them. we never would have
met with any opposition in the Philip
pines. The fact is, that we have given
the Filipinos every reason to distrust
US, and they are lighting for their own
liberty"

Gratis, but of Republicans, who have
been honored repeatedly by Republican

DIVISION OF REPUBLICANS.

Many Republicans in this part of the
world do not seem to realize that the
most radical opponents of an imper-
ialistic policy in the Philippines are to
be found among the most honored
members and leaders of the. Republican
party. They have not all submitted to
Hanna's branding process, nor do they
all believe in this abandonment of the
pledges and pretensions of the admin
istrauon in relation to wars of con-
guest and territorial aggression.
There are Republican leaders just
old-fashioned and courageous enough
to deny the infallibility of Senator
Hanna, and question some of the poll
cies pursued by his puppet in the presi-
Dental chair. They often remind him
of his solemn declarations upon as
suming the Office of chief executive, of
his subsequent utterances in messages
TO congress. of the binding pledges of
the people themselves made through
their representatives in congress and
approved by him in his official capac-
ity: we want no wars of conquest;
we must avoid the evil of territorial
aggression They remind him that
Dewey depiores the war in the Philip
pines, and says that little tact would
end it any day They cite General
Funston as authority for the statement
that common sense and diplomacy
would have axerted the war and viii

Titles will end. it. And these men are
not afraid of war; they do not shirk
its responsibilities or dangers. but like
true soldiers and true Americans they
want to feel that their cause is Just in
every way.
