Ex-senator Dubois, chairman
of the executive committee of
the national silver republican
party, was interviewed at Black
foot the other day, as to the
present attitude of the silver re-
publicans. Mr.. Dubois said
THE silver republicans will
meet in national convention at
the same time and place as the
national democrats.
1.-THE persistent statement
made by the republican press
that silver is q dead issue, is the
expression of their wish, not of
q fact. Those who supported
Bryan in 1896 will support him
again unless they have some
special reason for not doing so.
There will not be many who will
abandon principals deliberately
adopted for personal or special
reasons. The democrats without
doubt will declare against the
foreign policy of the administra-
ton, against imperialism. The
issue in 1900 will be the same as
in 1896, only intensified and more
clearly defined, and the candi-
dates will be the same. McKin-
ley will be supported by the ag-
gregation of wealth and all that
they represent, Mr.. Bryan will
be supported by the reform
forces.
$50 far as the silver republi-
cans are concerned, they are in
terested in the success of the
principles which they supported
in the Chicago platform and
Bryan. These have not changed
and the Chicago platform will
be re-adopted.
1.-THE union of the democrats
and the silver republicans will
be more complete and harmon
ious in 1900 than ever before,
and everything points to a vic
tory of the reform party.
There is no disintegration of
the silver republicans except in
the visions of those who wish
the success of the gold standard,
trust controlled, imperialistic re-
publican party"

A rural schoolmaster has with
his schslars three, whose ages
we're, respectively, 70, Ga and So
years. "You don't mean to say, "
said an astonished visitor, that
those old men are going to
school for the first time in their
lives ?" That's right replied
the schoolmaster; "they hain't
had time till now An they
wouldn't be at it now, only
they've made up their minds to
git married, an as the gals they
air to marry air all good readers

bounded affection for Miss Geert
son even as late as April, and
furthermore that he had ack
nowledged owing her money,
DR.. Fisher explained the
Huntsville trips as being prim-
arily to see other parties sup,
posed to know something of the
case.
The court In the afternoon
curtailed the testimony by ex-
GLIDING much that was offered
and about o'clock brief argu-
ment was made by Haverson.
The attorneys each scored the
other in their arguments. Mr..
TAFT being especially bitter to-
wards Mr.. Haverson.
At the conclusion Justice HUI
aniski summed up the case and
decided that sufficient evidence
of guilt had not been shown to
hold DIR. Fisher. He said that if
he were guilty at all it was q
very serious matter, one not Gov
cred simply by charge of as
sault, and he would not hold a
man under such circumstances
unless the chain of evidence was
complete.

is itself a license to commit
crime. The miner who signs it
commits crime the very nom
ent he signs his name to it. Its
every position is destructive of
respect for law and order and
leaves the stain of villainy on
the heart of every man who sub
scribes to it. Members of the
miners unions in this district
may commit revolving crimes
and fill the hearts of all peace
able citizens with sorrow and
shame, but where in all this
world is the respectable man
who would take the risk of build
ing his home and raising his
family in a mining camp where
two thousand miners had been
compelled to register the Grim
inality of their hearts before the
officers of the law as a condition
on which to secure employment?
The experiment has been tried
in the mining camps of the east
and without single exception
it has resulted in a reign of ter
ror to life and property. 1t sets
a premium on crime, and adver-
tises to the world an asylum of
of criminals. Any document,
the signing of which is repulsive
and repugnant to the conscience
and the moral sensibilities of
honest men, is a document that
bids for the aggregation of the
criminal elements of the world.
The application for permit to
seek employment in this district,
not only desparages the law of
our country, but destroyes the
hopes of that element of society
on which rests the sanctity of
the law in every civilized coun-
try. The man who will sign
away his rights under the law as
a condition of seeking a liveli-
hood will impose on the rights
of others whenever and wherever
he thinks it to his interest to do
so. The man who will sign away
his rights under the law is the
man who has no respect for the
rights of others. Having no
rights for himself he has no con-
scientious scruples for the rights
of anybody else. He measures
out government to others in the
same proportion that govern
ment is measured out to him.
Yet this system is what our fat
headed authorities please to call
the inauguration of an era of law
and order in the Occur d'Alenes.

common school system is that it
is national in character and en-
tirely free from sectarian influ-
ence and bias, says the Idaho
Daily Leader. These are exact
ly our sentiments.
The American theory of pub
lie education is that the freedom
of our laws must be made up for
by a corresponding increase in
exercise of self-control by the in
dividual citizen. 1t is therefore
the direct object of our education
to train the youth of the Nation
to independent and careful
thought and conduct. They are
trained to feel that it is not only
a privilege, but a duty to take a
direct and active interest in the
government of their country.
The children of the present
age constitute the nation of the
future, and properly educating
them for wise and right conduct
as citizens is q necessity as plain
and Indispensable as that a man
should preserve his life today in
order to be alive tomorrow. The
training of the children is the
whole basis of the life of our Re-
public, which without all our 9TH
er pains and plans for the perp-
etuating the Union will come to
naught. 1t is the only means by
which we can assimilate the for
eign element of our peculiar in
situations. We have thousands
of both foreign-born children of
emigrants and native born child
rem of foreigners among us, de-
formed with all the hideoua re-
suits of despotism, ignorance,
and superstition. They must be
made wide enough to govern, or
they will use the strength which
we confer upon them to repay us
with such a destruction as Samp-
son visited upon Philistines.
American common school edu-
cation, as fostered by our Gov
eminent, is intended to train citi-
zens fit to uphold the States; men
wise enough to govern. They
must be intelligent, possessed of
minds free, active and stored
with the fundamentals of knowl-
edge. They must be so trained
mentally and morally as to keep
their intellects and passions sub
ject to their patriotic regard for
law and government. Thus our
system of public education be-
comes at once the primary source
of all that is desirable in our
peculiar national life, and the
essential condition of all that is
valuable in our American citizen
ship. And yet there are thous-
ands among us who, with be-
spotted blindness, would destroy
this glorious institution.
The very freedom which we
use to increase our moral power
of selfcontrol, these sectarian
enemies seize as an opportunity
for pandering to their prejudices
and passions. The true Ameri-
can recognizes the necessity for
universal education without re-
gard to sects. These fanatics.
however, insist upon the exclu-
sive propagation of their pecul-
lar theories. This spirit must
be rebuked and silenced. Our
schools must remain public, free
and unsectarian.
