as assistant secretary Of the navy. The
vigorous style OF this initial work did
much to arouse the country to the ne
cessity for an enlarged navy, and 10
quicken the patriotic sentiment OF the
country, which was then beginning to
be tinged all o,er with Furnished hue
OF gold. A year afterwards he gave
the public some glimpses OF his stud
les OF pioneer life In a work on ranches
In the west, and OF the Hunting Trips
OF Ranchman, which are filled with
delightful "reminiscences OF western
life; and In which much that was
worth knowing has been rescued from
forefathers or mere hearsay and tradi-
ton. His experience hunting the bison
or the buffalo, and the physical wir,-
ness then developed proved as use
full TO him In Cuba as his kn0wl-
edge az student Of naval history
made him an Invaluable aid In the
navy department In preparing for the
war. In nothing is this broad American
spirit SO well borne out as In consider
ing the number OF those works which
treat OF the noble examples of the
west. and of the bounding nature OF
the backwoodsman that Roosevelt has
given 10 the reading communities OF
the east. In the view OF this descend

presidency, and should in addition
capture the lower branch of con-
gress. 1t would be impossible to
open the minis to silver, because
the senate is gold standard body
and will be for the gold standard
in 1901, even though the demo-
Gratis sweep the country in the
elections of 1900. Nobody has
questioned, or can question, the
loyalty of Bryan to silver; or Of
ex Congressman Towne or of De
Almond or Stone or Dubois or
Dockery. The silver men who
supported Mr.. Bryan in 1900 are
in revolt against Mckinley be-
cause Of his unwillingness to even
make move which would indi-
cate his opposition to trusts. Sim
cere silver men know that unless
the craze for organizing trusts is
stopped the combinations of capi-
tai will have such absolute con-
troll of the country that not only
the silver issue, but every other
issue in behalf of the people, can
be thrOttled at will,
The sincere friends Of silver are,
and should be, the most insistent
in demanding that trusts and i'm
perialism be attacked by the dem
cratic platform in 1900. Mr.. Bry-
an got the silver votes of the
country in 1896, but he did not gel
enough votes to win. And if, ir
1900, the democratic party SHOULD
commit the blunder of attempting
to make side issue of the ques'
tons in which the people are
most interested, and about which
they are continually talking, it will
have served the purpose of Nc
Kinley and of Hanna, and thu
cause of silver will be crucified II
the house of its friends.

THE DOMINANT PLANK.

THE SILVER BLADE is in receipt
of letter from prominent silver
republican in which the fear is ex.
pressed that the trust question will
dwarf the silver question as an
issue in the campaign of 1900.
This writer, like a great many
others, labors under the very mis-
taken idea that politicians can
make or obscure issues. The peo-
pie make the issues, and the poll
tician or politicians who attempt
to stand in the way are run over.
At this particular time the people
are talking about trusts and imper-
ialism. The bitterest foes of each
are found among the voters who
cast their ballots for democratic
electors in 1896. 1t is absurd to
contend that because man is the
implacable foe of trusts he must be
lnkewarm in his advocacy OF free
silver coinage.
But these politicians, and every
other man who. thinks, know full
well that there must be something
more in the democratic platform
of 1900 than declaration in favor
OF the tree coinage of silver at a
ratio of 10 to 1. If the silver ques-
ton were the sole issue, the demo.
Gratis would enter the campaign
under conditions which would
make it impossible to accomplish
anything in the way of legislation,
even though successful at the polls.
Suppose the democrats should
elect Mr.. Bryan, or Mr.. Teller, OF
any other silver advocate to the

THE present board of county
commissioners have inaugurated a
plan which, if followed by future
boards, will soon give the county
thing to show for the vast
amount of money expended yearly
on its roads. They have already
visited most of the road districts
and are familiar with the needs Of
each. No appropriations are
made unless by personal inspec-
tion the commissioners are salts
fed that money is actually needed.
SINCE the republican party has
thrown off the ssinternationa al
agreement" mask and come out
openly for the single gold stand
ard, the federal brigade in this
county does not take kindly to ma
tional politics. The edict has
gone forth that national politics
must be relegated to the rear and
local issues made predominant.
Very well, gentlemen. Suppose
you take Bragaw's record as audi
tor Of Kootenai county. If you do,
no doubt few interested taxpay-
ers will learn why it required
81, 900 per year to pay his deputy
hire, when the fees in his Office did
not pay his own salary. Or take
Cables record as county commits
sioner. There is a record that
will guarantee you the support Of
every foreign corporation doing
business in the county. 1t will be
big drawing card, too, for your
campaign fund. And then there
is your county jury system, a sure
winner if you will but tell the gooc
people OF kootenai county the
number of professional jurors who
are out OF employment. Yes by
all means, give us local issues
