by the action Of its political leaders

The Republicans had something TO
say about Gov. Rogers four years ago
and it was not always Of a compliment
tary nature; but in the entire campaign
of 1896 there was nothing uttered quite
so savage as the denunciation that is
now being heaped upon him by some of
the Populists. In this case, it is his
former friends from whom the governor
would wish to be saved.

GOV. Roosevelt ON Democrats.

Gov Roosevelt made a bad break when
he declared In public speech that all
Democrats were towards. iawless and cor
rupt. OF course, the governor knows
better than this. and IL was only his
tongue that ran away with him. but his
words are likely to prove as great a curse
to him as Burchard's famous remark did
to James q. Blaine-Tacoma Sun.
This is simple Populistic misrepresenta-
ton. Roosevelt said the Kansas. City
platform was cowardly, etc. Not all DEM
Gratis indorse the Kansas City plank on
the subject of expansion. In fact, there
are few of them in this section of the
country who do not agree exactly with
Roosevelt in his Characterization of 1t.
A few more such affairs as that at
Akron at the North and the Republicans
will be deprived of lot of campaign
ammunition which has proven very ef-
fective In the past-Everett Independent.
Hardly. Such occurrences simply prove
that certain Bryanites in the North are
taking their social customs as well as
their politics from their Southern asso-

Peculiar Conditions In China.

The peculiar constitution of the Chi
nese empire permits the existence of
condition OF affairs there which could
not be imagined as possible elsewhere.
Thus the world witnesses the capital of
the empire In the hands Of the allies. the
imperial government and all OF the re-
sponsible officials of the throne fugi-
tives. while In other maritime provinces
OF the empire the vessels of foreign
nations are coming and going. the con-
sular officers remain at their posts and
preserve outwardiy amicabie relations
with the viceroys. who In turn continue
their suave assurances that they will
preserve order and take no hostile part
against the foreigners. and up to date
have kept those pledges.
There Is, In fact. no central govern
ment Of China at all. so far as con-
exercised by the supreme authority.
The various provinces have no direct
connection with the central government,
save through the viceroys. Each prov
ince maintains Its own army, conducts
Its own internal affairs has its own sys-
tenn OF taxation, its own courts, and in
the case OF the maritime provinces. its
own navy. The dealings with the CEN
trail government seem confined 10 the
appointment and removal of the various
vioeroys. who remit TO II Its proportion
OF the proceeds Of taxation, the collec-
ton of all of which II I'm their own
hands. Thus 1t Is apparent that for
external defense the empire Is depend
ent entirely upon the viceroys OF the
various provinces, who are adepts IN the
art OF finding excuses for failure TO re-
spond TO the orders or requests OF the
central government, when they have no
intention OF following its lead.
As result, OF the working OF this sys-
tenn, what war there has been with
China has been confined To Manchurta,
on the Russian border, and 90 the
province OF Pechlii. In which is located
the capital city OF Picking In the
southern provinces there have been iso-
lated outrages on missionaries ana
other foreigners. but no concerted at
tacks upon the foreigners. There Is
every reason at present 10 believe that
the people ~ this section will keep
aioot from the war, although it Is quite
probable that the southern vioeroys. IN
response 70 orders from Pcking. have
sent forward troops 10 guard the inn
periai family and oppose the advance O.,
the allies. while preserving the peace
at home. II Is an anomalous condition
az affairs. but u exc,tes little surprise.
Nothing would be surprising in or
about China.

tached to the effect OF this immigration
on the future of the republic. and there
is every reason why there should be
popular demand for the exercise OF
more rigid restrictions against those
foreigners who can never become de-
sirable citizens. and who crowd the la
Dor market to unsettle and depress
wages.

of the Weekly Avalanche, of Silver
City, Idaho. one of the oldest and
strongest papers in the state:

of the Weekly Avalanche, of Silver
City, Idaho, one of the oldest and
strongest papers in the state:
Beginning with this issue the Ava
lanche picks up the Republican banner,
which il dropped four years ago in its
ardent advocacy of the silver question,
and henceforth 1t will be found battling
for the success and continuance of Repub-
lican principles and Republican progress
iveness. Four years ago the Silver Re-
publican party had an excuse for exist
euce and was what its name implied.
Today the Silver Republican national
platform does not contain single Repub-
lican plsnk-and the party and its scat
'ering adherents are simply tail feathers
in the Democratic vane. Two years ago.
at the state election, the Silver Repub-
licans of Idaho adopted stirring and patri-
otto resolutions voicing the policy of Re-
publicanism with the one exception of
finance. This year, at Pocatello, the last
representatives OF a dead organization, at
the behest OF two or tnree men who had
bargained 10 deliver their party to DEM
ocracy for value to be received" hand
ed over their passports, pocketed their
chagrin and the two nominations which
had been magnanimously doled out by
the Democrats, and went home. Where
are they today? In this county, the for
state, even the central committee refused
longer TO maintain farce in the name
of a just but dead cause, and resigned.
The same conditions exist all over the
state The Silver Republican party IL
dead. and the Avalanche Is not running
an obituary record for the departed.
The Avalanche speaks by the card in
announcing the final disappearance OF
the Silver Republican party. There IS
no such organization in existence to-
day. There IL no reason for 1t. and the
men who once belonged TO II see that
1t has become ridiculous. A few poll
ticians who hold committee or other
places and who hope to secure a divide
on the offices keep up the pretence, hut
their following has gone. II all the men
adhering to the Silver Republican or
ganization In any state were gathered
together, a very small hall would hold
them. All see that free silver now is
undesirable as well as impossible. There
Is no other bond between them and the
Democratic party. They believe. as the
paper which we have referred to says,
that the Republican policy represents
the best interests of the whole people.
1t is these votes which are going to re-
store not only Idaho but Montana and
Colorado, and probably Nevada and
Utah, to the Republican column.

If reports are TO be believed. an an
archist has been meditating an assault
on Mr.. Bryan. 1t seems strange that
Altgeld should allow his followers TO
make such a mistake as this.

of 1872 for example. says on this sub
ject: "A speedy return TO specie pay
ment is demanded alike by the highest
consideration Of commercial morality
and honest government and in 1876.
the Democratic platform utterance on
the subject was: I'VE denounce the
failure for all OF these eleven years OF
peace to make good the promise Of
the legal tender notes. which are
changing standard OF value in the
hands Of the people. and the non-pay-
ment Of which is a disregard Of the
plighted faith of the nation"
There is one final Dmocratic plank,
to which the attention Of Mr. Bryan's
supporters is invited. not because It
denotes any change Of front on their
part, but because II most happily Illus
trates the one attitude towards public
be relied upon to assume whenever
II is In the minority. 1t always has its
bogy man In 1868 the Democratic
platform, as usual, consisted largely
of an arraignment OF the Republicans
for their sins of omission and COM
mission, closing az follows;
'Under its repeated assaults the pill
lars OF the government are rocking
on their base. and should it succeed
in November next, and inaugurate its
president. we viii meet, as subjected
and conquered people. amid the ruins
of liberty and the scattered fragments
OF the constitution
The Democratic party, under its new
leadership. still shows the bourbon
faint II always falls back on some
bogy. and has the constitution torn to
fragments. and liberty buried as the
result Of every national election. Yet
the country survives. and prospers
save when the experiment of Demo-
cratic administration is tried.

to one side out OF reach.
