THE Pass has received from the
American Type Founders company, the

nicely type written letter. stating that

q two-page, six column supplement con
tanning the very best Republican matter,
together with cartoons, prepared by the
Republican National committee. Il
also encloses a stamped envelope for re.

victims OF the type trust, the ink trust,
the envelope trust and other trusts too
numerous TO mention, we have not or-
dered the supplements. II lie reasonable
TO suppose that II We were to do 50, aud

Hanna, in the generosity Of his big
irusty heart, would even pay the freight.
We make mention Of this matter simply
TO show the common people how the
trusts are spending their money in the
interest Uf McKinley's election. To sup
ply the Republican papers Of the coun.

Thousands Of dollars, but the trusts can
afford TO spend large sums Of money TO

BARTLETT SlNcHAiR takes exceptions to
the intimation in las: weeks Press that
Judge Hey burns letter, stating that the
Republican platform plank, which was
calculated to deceive both sides in the
Shoshone county matter, was published
without his consent. Mr.. Sinclair writes
US that he obtained Mr.. Hey burns con-
sent before the letter was made public.
and We make this correction to remove
any suspicion from the public mind that
Bartlett had betrayed the confidence OF
the judge. 1t is too bad to spoil the
little job the Republicans had put up
Tor the purpose Of deceiving both sides
by having Judge Hepburn explain that
the labor plank did not mean what it
appeared to say and WAS a cold attempt
to deceive. This puts the Republicans
in bottle with the cork down tight.

EVERY Republican newspaper in the
state tells its readers every week, 50
times in year, that the Silver Republi-
can party is dead and buried. Ii must
be lively corpse that can keep bobbing
up so often and command so much
space and attention FROM the gold bug
organs. The fact is that the Silver Re-
publican party is too much alive to suit
these Mark Hanna newspapers. The
trend OF their comments and the man
ner in ~Eich they squirm show that it
has thrust = thorn into their side which
hurts every time they move. Boys. ii
the Silver Republican party Is dead,
why waste your wind blowing over its
remains? Better save this wind, YOU
will need it before the campaign closes,
if YOU expect to keep within haiiing dis
lance of the Bryan procession. Kootinai
county alone will cast 500 Silver Repub
liean votes.

The Idaho Statesman says that 1.-THE
tariff lie not an issue in this cam
paign.' That is true; the former great
cry to the American working man has
worn itself out, and the old claim OF pro
lection and prosperity has been laid
aside for imperialism end the single gold
standard, or trusts and militarism. These
four go together, a.d the Republican
party lie bound BY its platform and its
candidates to uphold and support them.
The constitution, the Declaration of In
dependence and the tariff question are
back numbers with the Republican
party.

The attention OF the Lewiston Teller,
the kOotenai County Republican and
other Republican newspapers is again
called to the fact that they are overlook
ing the publication OF Judge Hey burn's
letter defining the labor plank Of their
platform. The judge wrote the platform
and his letter defined it's meaning to be
in favor OF the present permit system in
shosbone county. The platform has
been Published in all OF these papers,
and in fairness to the judge his letter
should be printed.

II is 10 most desirable to reseue the
imprisoned foreigners at Pekin AZ the
earliest possible date. vet il seems almost
suicidal 10 rush few thousand Jr,Opa
into the interior Of China il resistance il

allied relief expedition OF 1900 troops
would last but short time Il attacked
BY the honies Of Chinese troops that
could be put in the field against them.
The governments whose ministers are
imprisoned at Pekin have made the e,
riOus blnnder Of quibhling ever who
should command the allie1 forces and in
showing other petty iealousies, instead
of rushing an army forward that eoald
march through the country without the
fear OF being annihilaled. After a few
thousand brave men are killed, if such
an unfortunate catastrophe should take
place, the powers will awaken to a full
realization OF the condition that con-

JUDGE HEYBURS wrote the Republican
state platform. lie says positively that
it endorses the permit system in Sho-
shOne county. He ought to know what
he is talking about, and if the Lewiston
Teller and Kootenai County Republican
doubt this, We refer them to Hey burns
letter on the subject. These two jour
mails must swallow their own words or
admit that Judge Hey burns ability to
iuggIe words is not equaIed in the state.

The administration is buying more
trouble in the Philippines. Two of the
islands we're overlooked in the $50, OOO, 900
purchase, and Mckinley is about to buy
them OF Spain for 100000. IfSpain has
a few more old islands lying around
loose that she can dispose OF to this
country at proportionate rates, her war
will have proven very profitable in
vestment. Uncle Sans attempt to
branch out into imperialism will cost
500, 900 900 and many thousand lives
OF brave Americans before he succeeds
in shooting Christianity and the right
to govern his subjects into the people OF
the islands.

about hauling down the flag" in the
American Porcupine mining district and
the surrender OF American territory to
England. This surrender is Of territory
that was placed in dispute by British
claims that were unfounded and unjust.
1t makes a big difference to the admin

ernment or the Filipino republic that
wants the flag hauled down.
