coming IL ever increasing vo1ure from
the mouth Of the wrongedf man and
women sl in Idaho, will before long per
meate the remote corners of the re-
public and then the guilty will suffer
long and bitterly.
. This land is too broad, It's peoples
love liberty too we'll, and have bought
1T at too great a price, to ever again
tolerate oppression by force of arms.
Broad as it is, this country cf ours is
not big enough to accommodate a re-
public and military depos.ism al one
and the same time. The two are NOT il,
harmont-never have been aud never
can be. THE republic guarantees III
dlyidual liberty, Martial law knows
TO individual liberty. The militare-
aepostism is against everything that
the republic shed its martyr baeed to-
preserves The. supremacy of the one
can only come with the annihilatian OF
the other. But the republic VIII live.
The attempt Of the Standard Oh
Congress to keep the facts brought ont
inthe Coeur d d'Alene invessig alton from
the people, is but feeble endeavor az
the .plgmy to sweep back the mighty
tide OF truth. The Macedonian cry.
that comes to US from, the obscure
miners amid tho mountains of Idaho.
will be answered. Their loss is our
loss, and the help that It is ours to
give will not be withheld.

dlshonored his state and wronged the

history furnishes argument sufficient
in favor of the course I have pur>
sued;" to the President, with whose
knowledge and under whose direc4isse
martial law was declared: to thu. Cor
gress, which has endorsed every wronoe
committed; to all of those who have
conspired to crush the miners Of Idaho
the organized workers of the United
States say in the words that camefrom
the inspired lips of Cicero when liberty
was young: "No republic can ent1are
whose foundation stones do not rest
upon the principles of eternal Justice. -
And they say further that ssjuseiee
must prevail, for this republic will

and Postofiice Detective W. l..
Reid Saturday night at Wagner
arrested John Morgan, son Of
Postmaster w. T. Morgan, on a
charge of riiling the mails The
arrest created a sensation, as the
accused stands high socially. The
postoffice officials mailed letters
containing marked money at the
postoffice in this city. The mail
bags we're then opened after reach
ing the mail car and found to have
been rified Of the money. The Of.
hcers thereupon returned to the

and found, il is alleged, a marked
bill in the pocket of young Morgan
and also one OF the decoy letters
containing money. Several hun
dred dollars, il is said, have been
missed in transmission through
the Wagner postofhce, and the
officials have been at work on the
