The Political Issues Discussed-Re-
publican Gains IN that State.

PbDiiSAA 0ahAiS Ia that OtdVCs
There was a big meeting Of Silver
Republicans at Weiser. Idaho, last
week, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
which was addressed BY Judge Hous-
ton and Hon. w. E. Borah. The ac-
count says that 90 per cert Of the
silver Republicans Of the county are
lack into the ranks Of the old party.
The Statesman hasa review Of Mr..
Borah's speech. which is splendid. He
declared that every issue which separ-
ated Silver Republicans from the old
party has been practically eliminated
from this campaign; that expansion
was the issue. and cited Mr.. Bryan as
authority for the assertion. Then he
devoted a little space to-a legal argu-
nent IN that subject, ard quoted the
recent speech OF Senator Teller. and
referred to the position Of Lincoln to
the Republican platform of 1860. to
the decisions of Chez justice Marshal
and other authorities. One brief ex-
tract from the speech reads as follows:
-Four years ago the controlling issue
was the rehabilitation Of silver. We
all remember the conditions under
which that battle was fought. We
were experiencing a fearful financial
depression; industry was sluggish;
prices we're low and constantly and
steadily falling; labor was unemployed.
restless and disconnected; capital was
in hiding. and from the highest to the
lowest. business courage had departed
and business energy was dead. Never
in our whole history had our industrial
life gone to so slow an ebb. There
was an honest belief that the remedy
for those things was to be found in the
restoration Of silver.
But time and events have removed
the issue from the campaign and re-
moved the fear-ths awful industrial
strain also. 1t is not a question Of the
free coinage of silver now, not a ques-
ton Of lifeless marts and stagnated in
dustry. not a question Of labor hunting
employment and capital hunting seclu-
sion; II Is a question OF whether we are
able to suppress instruction within our
territories, give TO those within a just
and efficient form Of government, a
question whether this Nation has suf-
ficient honor and sufficient strength to
shield from the a~dyenturer's revenge
those who came 10 US under a treaty;
a question whether this Nation has
sufficient honor and sufficient strength
to uphold and enforce our treaties,
soiennly made and ratified, or whether
We snail yield to the conspirators of
Luzon."
Again he spoke as follows:
Think Of it, those OF us who are
Republicans by birth, training and in
s.inct, are asked to fight side by side
with Stevenson. Croker. Cochran, Hill,

Schurz and Atkinson for an issue
which was forced upon them, they say.
by the half civilized Kanakas Of the
Sandwich islands,
but there is another chapter, MI.
Towne stated weeks ago, that silver
was not and could not be an issue in
the campaign; furthermore. that If the
gold standard brought prosperity, thai
would end the contest. Cen. Warner,
one Of the veterans Of the cause, has
said that 1t is the merest subterfuge to
say 1t is a question to be determined in
this campaign.
"Mr. Bryan. in writing to a friend in
New Jersey. in a letter made public.
tells him that while 1t would not be
necessary to openly abandon silver. 1t
would not be one Of the issues upon
which the campaign would be fought;
and even this day he states that as
silver was the paramount issue four
years ago, SO is expansion to be in
this campaign. | take him at his
word-there is no higher authority in
the Democratic party. No. silver is
not the question upon which this cam
paign will be fought; there are even
broader, deeper, more absorbing ques-
tons"
He closed the speech with these
ringing words:
Loyal men may differ upon matters
of civil concern. matters which affect
alone the finances Of our people, but
those trained in the school Of Lincoln
and Grant. those who have felt the in
splration Of the restless loyalty Of John
A. Logan and the splendid American
ism Of James G. Blaine. will not de-
sert the old party when there is forced
upon It a contest which involves the
very dignity and integrity Of the Nation
itself.
"lf the flag is to be hauled down
from any part of our possessions; If our
soldiers are to be called back from the
lands dedicated by their own valor and
the blood Of their comrades to the
highest calls Of freedom and progress:
If territory. purchased and paid for and
title to which was approved by the
Senate Of the United States. is to be
turned oyer 10 the inquisition Of an ad-
venturer, and the thousands who have
crowded to our flag for protection are
to be abandoned to the hell of chance
and tribal war; If 1t is to be confessed
before all nations that the ownership OF
a few islands will corrupt the common
people into monarchists and wreck u
institutions-if such miserable faith is
to be the faith of these people, let 1t be
known now that those who come from
the school of Lincoln. Logan and
Blaine will not participate in this shame
full compromise Of our dignity and
honor as a nation"

him in the Episcopal Churh Thursday
night. He preached practical ser
mon, emphasizing that part and prin-
ciple of the Christian life which re-
CARDS the claims of others. The
church that is most nearly fulfilling
its mission Is the church that seeks
most to help others.
Speaking of Saint Paul's attitude
toward the early church and his trust
and dependence upon his brethren,
Bishop Cheshire urged that churches
md congregations now should feel great
interest and manifest the same in the
christian ministry.
The Bishops visit was short and his
people would have been glad for him to
remain longer with them. He came
Thursday afternoon and left Friday
afternoon.

Ing "pin-hook" effort at it.
Have you seen the February Ladies'
Home Journal? Well how did that

strike you? It is said to be the finest
and most artistic advertisement the
Home Journal has ever printed. 1t
IS So pretty and SO attractive it just
makes one hungry to look at 1t. The
Ladies' Home Journal Is said to have a
circulation of 100000, which means
that 1t has about five million readers.
One would therefore conclude that
Swift & Go. paid quite handsome
price for that one advertisement but
not one person in thousand OF all the
millions of people in this country would
guess that 100000 was the price OF
that advertisement but that IL what
Swift & Co. paid for it.
No wonder they make an impression
by their advertisements. They put
money enough in them to make them
draw.
Now, if you will turn to your Jour
nal again, good housewives, and exam

you had not seen before.

The Blue Pencil Next Week.


February 10th was the time which
The COMMONWEALTH had set to draw
the blue pencil through the names OF
some of our delinquents. Last week,
however, our columns were so crowded
with news, correspondence and adver-
tisements VIZ could not get the space
for parting word. We have, there
tore. set March LIST as the time for the
blue pencils work, and take this space
to call attention to 1t.
some of our we'll intending de-
linquents have written that they would
remit soon and others have asked us
not to cut them off 80 We give one
week longer.
Recently some of our deliquents,
white and colored, who we know are
not rich men, have come up and settled
with US, and we have others who are
better able to pay up than some of
those who have already done so; and
the principle of fair treatment to all
would force us to cut off some who still
neglect to settle up.
The manly efforts made by some for
whom it was sacrifice to pay their ar
rears, impress us with justice to them
to insist that all settle likewise. 1t
Is unfair to urge one to settle up and
then send the paper to another who is
better able to pay than his neigh Dor.
So, from this view OF the case, even If
we did not need the money, We should
feel bound by justice to cut off those
who disregard their obligations to us.
Then on March LIST, the blue pencil
will certainly be drawn through the
names of those who still disregard our
entreatles to settle. We do not wish to
lose any, but We must treat all alike.
