The Pease Case at Issue.

The case of the State of Idaho
against George H. Pease and the
suretes on his official bond came
up for hearing at this term of court
upon demurrer fled to the answer
Of the defendants. The court sus-
tanned the demurrer which strikes
from the answer all of the defenses
set up except certain question of fact
touching the election and qualifica.
tion of Pease as sheriff, the collection
Of the money by him, his failure to
pay it over to the proper authorities,
and whether or not he acted In the
collection of the money as agent for
the saloon keepers or the state and
county.
The questions involving the consti-
nationality of the law and other de-
lenses urged by the defendants, were
eliminated from the case by the court
sustaining the demurrer to the an
swer, and the case stands now upon
simple issues of fact, which can
doubtless be sustained withoat diff
Guilty.
County Attorney Goode made a
strenuous effort to have the case tried
at this term of court, but did not
succeed. It will be one of the first
cases trieAat the full term.

THE MEETING OF THE COMMITTEES.

On Tuesday will occur the meet
ing of the county democratic and
silver republican committees. The
executive committee of the pee
pies party will also be in session.
This marks the opening of the
campaign Of 1900.
THE SILVER BLADE has a few
words to say to the gentlemen Of
the committees. 1t invites them
to closely examine the condition
of our country; to note the greed
and righteousness of the great
combines and trusts; the servitude,
the hopeless struggles of the
masses. 1t calls their attention to
the granaries of the farmers filled
with forty-cent, starvation wheat;
the serious lack of money which
handicaps the business of the
country, forcing down the price OF
all commodities not protected by
trusts. 1t points to the special
privileges given to the banking
class by the heinous gold stand
ard act; and, mark this, it points
to the fact that the bankers, the
corporations, the trusts and COM
bines, have secured these great
advantages over the people bv or
ganization, by casting party love
and pride to the winds and voting
strictly for private pocket. In our
county affairs, the flag and free
dom and monetary system by the
consent of England, has been the
republican rallying cry for years;
but the county books, the discrep-
ancies and disparity of entries
therein, show that private pocket
was the real motive.
Gentlemen, organization is the
need of the hour. A union of the
reform forces is imperative. Party
love and party pride are good
things in their way, but public
good is better.

A bold burglar cut his way into

carried away a quantity Of clothing,
underwear. neckties and other articles
to the value of $4,000. An entrance
was gained to the store room by cut
ting hole through the panel Of the
door, near the lock, large enough to
insert the hand. The key was left on
the inside, and by this means the
door was unlocked. Burned matches
were promiscuously strewn about the
store, which would Indicate that the
marauder was in search of certain

tanned considerable sum Of money,

HOW THE DEVIL WOULD DO IT.

The Atchison (Kas.), Daily
Champion concluded to go Rev.
Sheldon one better and show how
the devil would run a newspaper.
BY request, John P. St. John, he
of prohibition fame, contributed
the first leading editorial, which,
in part, is as follows:
"The first thing the devil would
do would be to write a salutatory:
He would give it an intense religi-
Gus tone. He would shout for
cold Glory" and scream for lib
erty, but would not say word
about the thousands of slaves and
our government salaried sultan and
his seventeen wives under the pro-
lection of the American flag on the
island of Sulu. He would openly
favor bimetallism, and secretly
work to put the government on a
single gold standard basis. He
would talk long and loud about the
peoples money! but place them
at the mercy of the National banks
to get it. He would declare that
the Cubans were and of right
ought to be free,' and then refuse
to give them their freedom. He
would denounce fraud and then
send word to the Gamers of rotten
beef to clean up and get ready to
be whitewashed. He would stand
quietly by and without even a pro-
test see the organized trusts rob
people of hundreds of millions
annually and call it prosperity. He
would advocate the levying Of
high tariff tax on the poor mans
food and clothing and tell him it
was protection. His columns
would speak in thundertones in
favor of sending our soldiers eight
thousand miles from home to shoot
our civilization and Milwaukee
beer into the Filipinos. He would
favor the crushing by brute force,
brave people in South Africa who
are struggling as our forefathers
