They MADE A
RICH HAUL.
Store of John E. Skies Of Col
urnbia Falls Burg1arized.
DREW A RICH PRIZE
Thief Got Away With $500 or $500,
Which Was in Cigar Box in the
Office-N Trace of Him.

The store of John E. Skies, of Col
umbia Falls, was the scene of one of
the bo1dest robberies in the history
of the county, Christmas eve, and the
thief has successfully evaded arrest.
Christmas eve, Mr.. Skies, before
closing his store, for the night, placed
between $500 and $500 in a cigar box,
which he put in a desk in the Office,
located in the rear of the store. Cow
ering the box with papers he felt per-
fectly secure and left the store.
Between IL and / o'clock his broth
er, accompanied by a friend, both of
whom had just came down out of the
mountains, had occasion to visit the
store, to secure clothing, and having
key entered by the front door, AS
they did so a noise as of some one
running out Of the rear attracted
their attention and upon investigation
it was discovered that the rear door
leading from warehouse into the
store had been broken open, and that
the screen on the door to the store
house had been cut out, allowing the
burglar to reach in and unlock the
door
Mr. Skiles was at once notified
and an investigation disclosed the
theft of the box containing the money,
but nothing else.
Mr.. Skiles came to this city yester-
day and informed the officers of his
loss but it does not seem probable
that the guilty parties will be appre-
hended. Suspicion rests, however, on
a stranger who made few purchases
the evening before the robbery and
who has mysteriously disappeared.
The sheriff has telegraphed to all
points near to be on the lookout for
the man whose description was furn-
ished by Mr.. Skies.
Mr.. Skies stated while in Kalis-
Ipell that he had intended purchasing
number of drafts yesterday with
the money and had thought it perfect
ly safe where it was as no one knew
of it's having been placed there. It
is possible that the thief watched
him through a window and thus gain
ed information which made possible
the robbery

If is true. as stated by the adj
minlstration organs. that the balance
sheet of the country will show sur
plus of $50. 90, 900 for the fiscal year
ending next July, it seems high Tune
that steps should be taken to abolish
the war tax, or to remove the pro-
tective duties on goods controlled by
trusts. 1t is understood, however,
that the administration is opposed 10
either course of action. The only
hope for the passage of the ship sub
sidy bill, which lies so near to the
hearts and pockets of the republican
leaders, lies in the possession or an
overlooking treasury. AS long as the
war revenue law is ON the statute
books, no one is likely to make any
violent efforts against it, but II it is
once repealed, it would be destruction
to any party to try to re-enact III IN
order to obtain millions to throw as
bounties to ship builders. So there is
little chance of relief at present. Be-
fore the summer is over, however, the
trusts are likely TO be put to it to
preserve the tariff taxes that enable
them to plumber the people.

THE creation of vast forest re
serves is proving fine thing for
some of the land grant railroad
companies. The land grant rail-
roads are the largest owners in
these reserves. In many places
they have stripped the lands Of
their valuable timber, and under
the law they may now exchange
these worthless lands for valuable
timber lands in other sections In
other cases they are relinquishing
barren mountain sides in the wild
reserves and selecting valuable
lands in lieu of these relinquish-
ments. This is a matter of much
importance, as vast areas OF our
wild resources have been with
drawn from settlement and de-
velopment, while the railroads are
exchanging worthless lands for the
valuable lands of the people, which
means further diminution of the
surrounding public domain. Now
that the secretary of the interior
has directed congressional atten-
ton to the danger, by prompt and
united action the delegations from
Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon and other states should be
able to make change for the bet
ter. Since 1865 congress has
granted to various railroads I7I,
o74,7o3 acres of public lands. This
is equal to the states of New
Hampshire, Maine, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Dele
ware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania. Detroit Jus
tice.

IT rs DIFFERENT, NOW.

We fail to understand how the presl-
dent can sustain the action Of Secre-
tary Gage in loaning such enormous
sums to the national banks, without
changing his former opinions on this
as completely as he changed them on
the silver question when expediency
required him to do so. During Presi
dent Cleveland's first term, Secretary
Fairchlld loaned out some $50. OO0.-
900 under similar circumstances, and
was roundly denounced by the then
Representative Mckinley for SO doing
His speech appears in the Congression-
al Record of February 30, 1888, and
runs, In part, as follows:
"Nearly $4,000, 900, as l under
stand, of the surplus money that
ought to be in the treasury today, the
secretary having refused to pay it out
to government creditors, is now out
among the banks, held by them, they
giving to the government bonds as
security foI the deposits; and they are
getting it without interest. They
have the surplus money of the treas
ury in their own hands, and they col
lect the accruing interest on the gov
eminent bonds which they have de.
posted as security, when, il the adj

There Is something very suggestive
In the reluctance Of the republican
senators to permit the adoption of
resolutions of inquiry addressed to
the president in reference to affairs at
Manila. The secretary of war, back
ed by his friend General Otis, asserts
that the war is over and the islands
are practically pacifled. If this be
true, there can no longer be need of a
censorship over the official reports of
our army and navy officers there. II
Admiral Dewey did salute the Fill
pino flag, thereby acknowledging the
Filipino government, the country has
a right to know it. If Aguinaldo did
ask for peace Two days after the fight
ing began, and if General Otis told
him that the war unjust 20 on" why
should the facts be concealed? Yet
the senate has recently voted down
two resolutions respectfully asking for
information on these points. Surely
the administration does not fear that
the admission of the truth would in
cite those scattered bands of rebels to
reunite and fight again, especially as
they must know the facts already.
Aguinaldo, according to &c neral Otis
is so thoroughly whipped that no
amount of knowledge can be of any
use to him. If the president is de-
termined to give no information as to
the true state of affairs in the Philip
pines why not adopt the imperialistic
remedy Of dissolving congress when it
does not agree with him and so end
the matter for good and all !?
The silver blade. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1895-1903, 1900-01-13

AS THE discussion of the Philip
pine matter progresses ample con-
tirmation creeps out that the war
in the islands is now continued
and managed solely for political
effect. The military censorship is
used for this purpose alone. On
Thursday Senator Pettigrew quot
ed from a letter written by Robert
M. Collins, the associated Press
representative at Manila. Mr..
Collins stated he had filed a dis
patch containing information
which he thought was proper to
send to the United States. He
was informed by the censor that
he had been instructed to cut out
anything which might hurt the adj
ministration. Subsequently, when
he had desired to send story re-
lating to the use of silver in the
Philippines, the censor had told
him his instructions were to allow
nothing to pass which would be
helpfult to William Jennings Bryan
in the Union! If Bryan would
only die what relief it would be
to the friends of William McKin-
lev and Mark Hanna.

AN HEROIC PEOPLE

The heroic resistance with which
the Boer armies have checked the
advance of the armies of a nation
which boasts that it does not know
defeat, has gained Tor them the adj
miration of the civilized world.
A little nation, standing alone
without an ally, without seaport,
not only checking but defeating
the armies of great nation, have
but two parallels IN history--the
defeat of the tyrant Gesler with his
Austrian hordes, by liberty loving
William Tell and his little Swiss
army, and the defeat Of the British
armies by the American colonists.
These people are now fighting for
the cause for which we fought a
century ago.
The Beers won their indepen-
dence once, when they defeated
the British at Majuba Hill. We
won ours when we compelled
CORVALLIS to surrender at York
town. We were compelled to fight
England again in 1872, twenty
nine years afterwards. The respite
granted the Beers has been but
.fifteen years--a period comparat
lively longer than the respite grant
ed us.
The early settlers of this nation
faced wild savages and endured the
hardships of the pioneer that they
might enjoy freedom. 1t has
been, for that same freedom that
the hardy ,Boer has struggled with
the black warrior in South Africa.
How can we, children of freedom,
lend our sympathies with nation
that is attempting to crush sister
republic when her history is almost
identical with our own.
That the work England is now
bent on in the Trans Jaal is crime
almost all Americans believe.
Grant for argument that the Boer
is illiberal, fanatical and selfish.
If his habits and government did
not suit the English, they we're not
compelled to go there. The lust
of gold lured them there, just as the
possibilities for lettering their con-
dition in life has lured many citi-
zens Of the old world to cast their
lbt with us. If an Englishman or
any other foreigner does not like
our form of government let him re-
turn to his native land. So it is in
South Africa. The domestic pol
icy Of that republic was fixed long
before the English arrived there.
If he did not like the form of gov
eminent he could return to his
queens dominion. We cannot
find one basis of justice for Eng
lands action, and the American
character will have to undergo
many changes if the heart of loyal
Americans did not 60 out to free
men struggling to preserve their
freedom. Let England widen her
empire by worthy means and not
by savagery, and let the Boer for
ever retain his independence and
that little rugged corner of the
earth he calls his home.
. AFTER four years retirement
Hon. S. c. Blackburn of Ken
lucky has been returned to the
United States senate. He is an
ardent free coinage man and will
succeed Senator Lindsay, who has
misrepresented that state on the
coinage question for the past six
years.
Mr.. RYAN should write letter
on the question of deputies for as
SCISSORS, as he is the only one who
ever enjoyed the privilege at
public expense in Kootenai county,
his letter would be hailed with de-
light.
If you wanted to insult an Idaho
republican four years ago all YOU
