DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.

The Miners Union in the
northern part of the State was a
Populist organization; that is, we
mean that nearly all the members
were Populists. They were not
particularly favorable to the pres.
ent State administration, although
they gave it little help now and
then. The Populist organization
has been gradually breaking up
in this State, some of the voters
going into the Republican party
and some of them going into the
Democratic party, but in the
northern part of the State they
were " middle Of the -roaders, "
and remained true to the Populist
faith. This state of affairs could
hardly be tolerated by an anti
Republican administration, for
while the unionists did the Re-
puhlicans no particular good, they
were thorn in the side of De-
mocracy. And this grew to an
ugly sore in the eyes of the State
administration, and before the
rumpus, the governor placated
them as much as possible, and
the Democratic press said it was
good, very good, and they were
congratulating themselves that
they were getting on quite well
with the boys up north. And
when the rumpus came it made |
the governor sick at heart; If he
took action against the miners,
he would lose their votes, and
there would be no possible rec

BOOKS AND READING.

Among the privileges of our
generation is the abundance of
books. Holding within their
covers the knowledge of the race
they hand it over to us as a pre-
cious legacy from which we are
to receive inspiration, and as EN-
erson phrases it, "redemptive
power" They are the golden
sheaves of the worlds civilization
and, to them, as has been said, we
owe everything this side of bar
barism. "Give me a book, health
and a June day, and l will make
the pomp of kings ridiculous"
says Emerson; and why should
he not? Within the pages of
books are poets, sages, and philo-
sophers giving US their MODEST
contemplations; for a book is not
a dead thing, a couple of pounds
of ink and paper, but rather a
living voice, uttering the thoughts
of the man who wrote to the sue
ceeding generations. II n Books,
however, are not of equal value.
1t becomes an important question
then, What books shall we read?
Pursuant to Emerson's advice.
We cannot follow in the train of
all the new lights that flash. Life
is too short to spend it on virgin
blossoms of improved literary as |
piration. If there is real worth
IN a book it will survive by virtue
Of its inherent power and good |
ness, and when it has won its
place we may run the risk of read |

Equally important is the ques-
ton, how shall we read? There
are as few good readers as good
books. Not everyone who puts
his teeth into the combs tastes the
honey. Reading is an art to be
learned. If, when we close a
book, we canont tell the impor-
tant things in it, we might as well
have spent our time shooting ar
rows into the air. We should
read Systematically. Ones read

We too hope the State is no
making war on labor organiza
tons, and that it is only Kidding
the Ceur d Alenes Of "a certain
criminal combine masking as !
labor organization" But the
State moves in mysterious way
its wonders TO perform. 1t goes
about the punishment of a few
criminals in a manner altogether
different from anything we have
ever heard Of before. First, ii
establishes martial law, arrests
three or four hundred men and
herds them like sheep at public
expense in an improvised prison.
Next, it smothers opinion unfav-
orabie to the State administration
in the section Of country under
martial law. 1t keeps a county
under martial law for four months,
employs attorneys, runs every
thing to suit itself, and as a result
convicts one man Of murder in
the I'd degree. AT this rate at
the end Of the next century the
last man in the bull pen will have
an opportunity to prove his inno-
cence if he lives long enough
and possibly by that time the la
Dor organizations will be com
pletely squelched. But to the
answer Of the Capital. 1t says
that no attempt is being made to
make war on labor organizations.
If that be the case, what means
the action of Sinclair in refusing
to let men outside of the bull pen
work if they are members Of
labor organization? If the State
hasn't all the criminals arrested
why don't it go about the task to
complete it? If it has, why not
not let the innocent work?
But the Capital wanted an OPP
portunity to throw boquets at the
State administration. 1t wanted
the administration to appear as
innocent, guileless martyrs, and
