to US as copperheads. 1t is a wen
known fact that Aguinaldo and MS
gang of cut-throats in the Philip
pines are today in open rebellion a.
painst the authority of the United
States. So long as they remain in
in that position it is not a question
for any patriotic citizen of the United
States whether the government IS
legally entitled to exercise author
ity; it is enough to know that the
authorities of this country are being
opposed by armed insurgents and
therefore every loyal American
should stand by the authorities OF
this country. We wander ii 1t can
be possible that the sympathles OF
the American people have been so
perverted that they go out to the
savages who are shooting and MAIN
ing the young American boys who
were semitic a distant land to uphold
the flag of their country. Can it be
possible that such a condition exists!
We think not, and we imagine that
the day is not far distant when the
supporters of the enemies of our
country, residents of this country,
will realize that they made a fatal
mistake when they attempted to
take up and advocate the cause OF
red-handed rebels. We may predict
that the Copperheads of 1900 will
be quite as conspicuous in future
history as are now the Copperheads
of 1861. The outward expressions
| we hear are reminful of thoes which
emanated from Knights of the Col
den Circle. It is difficult to conceive
of such expressions without at the
same time believing that that treas
enable organization, or one OF sim
liar purport, is in existence in the
United States today. The declar
alton of Bryan that he assisted ii
the ratification of the peace treaty
in order that thequestion ofimperial
ism might be raised gives color t.
this suspicion.

ACCOUNTED FOR.

Some one has inquired with re-
spect to the whereabouts of Tommy
Glenn, the fusion candidate for
Congress, and wanting to know
why he is not on thestump. THE
TRIBUNE is glad to be ableto answer
both questions. Mr.. Glenn, the
candidate aforesaid, is now in Mont
pelier and is likely to remain there
until the polls close. Why he is not
ON the stump is because he has been
unable to find one that fits him.
we do not however, wish to dispar-
age the Democratic candidate.
Glenn is really first rate sort of lit
tie fellow, and that is about all there
is to. him. If he should be elected it
would be streak ofluck from which
he would never recover and which
the people of Idaho would long
have occasion to marvel at. The
trouble with Glenn Is that he is in a
constant quandary whether to fol-
lsw or precede Mr.. Morrison. II
he follow him; the comparisons
which will be drawn will be very
painful, and if he precede him the
result will be to erase the memory of
Glenn completely from the public
mind. But Glenn says he is ON both
tickets and consequently is not wor-
rying himself; which we believe is
true. We do not think that anything
could ever make him worry. If he
is elected he will not worry, and if
he is defeated he will not worry .
HE'S about as happily a disposition
ed individual as one could ever meet,
and about as illy-fitted to represent
the State of Idaho in Congress as he
well could be. Not because of any
viciousness of character or anything
ofthat kind, but simply the position
is altogethestoo big for his dimen-
sions. The hole is too big for the
plug. 5@'1.= + "a.

sRYAN,s ECONOMICS.

Mr.. Bryan has discovered a new
theory in economics. He has found
out that a man who has money to
loan is struggling with adversely.
At least he has found that because
the people of this country are able
to loan money it is not a sign OF
prosperity. Mr.. Bryan has the
DRY for every condition that con-
fronts him. Four years ago he
was bewailing because the people
of this country were borrowing
money abroad and charged us with
being minions of the Rothschilds.
Now that we are loaning money
abroad he says that also is an indi-
cation that we are the minions Of
the capitalists of Europe, because,
he says, there can only be two rea-
sons for sending money abroad. One
is that we like the people Of for
eign countries better than we like
our own people, or we can find bet
ter investments abroad tran at
home. This shows that whatever
happens, the American people are
bound to remain in the clutches of
foreign capitalists. In 1896 Mr..
Bryan insisted that the country was
going to the dogs because foreign
capitalists were loaning us money
and consuming our substances with
interest. Now that we are loan
ing money to the foreign capitalists
he says that it is because we have
greater admiration for them than
we have for our own people. We
do not know what sensible people
who are advocates of Organism
think of this kind of nonsense. We
do not know how they justify them
selves for their faith in a man who
can make adversely out of any kline
of condition. If we borrow mon
ey it is because we are hard up. I,
we loan money it is because we are
worse off, and if we do neither it i!
because stagnation has come to thu
country through the operations o
the vicious principles of Repub
licanism. Will some one please tel
us what kind of a condition Mr.
Bryan would bring about so tina
we could have some degree 0
prosperity without either loanin 6
or borrowing money or doing
anything else on earth.

PIONEER DISTRICT.

A considerable number of people
in this section are anxious to know
what the present status of the Pho
neer Irrigation District is. The
affairs of the District have now
moved up to a point where they are
about to be examined by the Courts
and if the Courts approve of the
steps thus far taken then the Dis
trict will be a valid organization be-
yond all question. The first hear
ing will be in the District Court a.
bout the goth of the present month,
and from there it will be taken di-
rectly into the Supreme Court so as
to have every legal point definitely
settled. During the last week the
Board ofDirectors have been sitting
as Board of Correction. The OBJ
ject of this was to ascertain as
definitely as possible the number
of acres of land in the District and
the number of acres belonging to
each individual, and make such 9TH
er corrections in the assessment as
might be necessary at this time.
From the best information available
it would seem that there is little or
no question as to the validity of the
organization and that the proceed
Iings will be entirely confirmed bv
the Courts. As soon as the Courts
have disposed of the matter the
bonds of the District to the extent
OF $125, 600 will be offered for sale
and portion of these bonds will be
used it is expected, for the purchase
OF existing canals, namely, the
Phyllis and Strahorn. The balance
is to be used in improvement work,
which work will be begun this fall
and prosecuted until the amount
which is thought necessary for the
present is done. The character Of
the Improvement work contemplated
this fall is such as to enable the
canals to put sufficient amount of
water on the bench so that there
viii be no scarcity next year, It
IS the opinion of all those who are
acquainted with the situation that
IT a sufficient Quantity of water is
once landed ON the bench it can he
taken care of afterwards by present
canals in sufficient quantities to in
sure an abundance. The prospects
tor the future success of the District
are most encouraging and it is be-
Leved that next year the water SIN
ply for this section will be more
satisfactory than ever it has been
heretofore.
