Official Paper of Nez Perez County
Still Calamity's Candidate.

The poverty of Mr.. w. J..
Bryan's>intellectual resources and
the complete helplessness of the
man are exhibited in his North
American Review article on his de.
feat. There is not living idea in
the article, or in his head. He pain
fully and gloomily rakes over the
ash heap where the fires of conflict
lately blazed up, and perceiving
here and there dull glow of an
ember not quite extinct, he tries to
blow it into life again.
Free silver militarism, imperial
ism. the trusts-those are the only
public questions that seem to him
to he alive. The election settled
nothing. The republicans won
because they had the most money
and because the country was pros
porous. When prosperity tails,
the gold standard will lose its
CHARM says Mr.. Bryan. There
at least, is one clear conception.
He is calamity's candidate and the
only hope for him and his princi-
pies is adversely and ruin. Pros
perity must fail to enable him to
succeed.
He perceives that he gained in
the great cities and lost in the
country and the small towns. In
his cross Of gold speech he declared
that 1t was the country districts,
the farming com munities, that had
made this nation. The country
was the home of virtue and wis
dom. In the sober sense and NOR.
atty Of the rural population we
should find our protection against
the creed and unrighteousness Of
the great cities. But it was In the
haunts of Mammon that he made
his gains this year, while the
country people Of whom he had so
high an opinion turned against
him even more generally than in
1896. This ought to alarm Mr..
Bryan aud lead him to re.examine
his positions. We doubt whether
he ever discovers that in this CITY
he was the dupe aud instruments
OF Richard Cookers selfish pur-
poses. The Tammany leader made
an energetic campaign and exploit.
ed Bryan vigorously, not because
OF his interest in Bryan's candi.
dacy, but because big Bryan vote
meant also big vote for the
Tammany candidates for congress
and the legislature. The Bryan
breeze brought his ships into port. |
Mr.. BRYAN also says "the past Is |
profitable only for instruction"
He is evidently not profit. taker. !
The campaign taught him nothing.
his defeat has not opened his eyes
to the real attitude of the country
He gives no intimation that he
intends 10 try it again. He will
be ready, OF course, if he is called.
But If he will read the comments /
OF the democratic press of the
south he will be forced to con clude
that he has had only part of the
country where the vote could give
MIN any reason to hope he has

Congressman Jones on Free Homes

The following letter on the subject of
free homes was published in the Spokes-
man Review on June 29th;
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 23.-In an
editorial in a recent issue of your paper
relative to the north half of the Colville
Indian reservation and the free homes
bill passed by congress at the last session
you asked of our delegation an explana-
stance: Why was the act not framed so
as to cover the north half of the Col
vile reservation? And the other was
why was not the act passed changing the
law of 1895 in the matter of opening the
reservation so as to provide for an earlier
opening than the 10Th of Oetober1
shall be glad to answer these two
questions as far as l am concerned.
There was very determined opposi-
ton to the passage of the free homes bill
especially from democratic sources
There was also some republican opposi.
ton to the bill, and it was thought by
the friends of the measure that it would
be best to have the bill so framed as tc
meet with as little opposition as possible
as we felt that if we got the bill through
affecting reservations already opened
this would be'a strong precedent for ac
tions as to other reservations. Ifthe bill
had been framed so as to cover the nortl
half of the Colville reservation witfou
any doubt it would have had to be frame,
SO as to cover the opening of future res
ervations. This would have at this tim
met with such opposition that it wa
feared such bill would not be passed
1t was therefore decided to take the bi
as it stands and pass future legislation 70
any reservations hereafter opened.
There is no doubt in my mind but tha
such legislation will be passed. The fir'
payment upon lands in the Colville re.
ervation does not have to be made f
two years, and do not belieye there wi
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1900-07-05

be any trouble in having similar legisla-
ton passed for this reservation before
that time expires.
The proclamation having been issued
prior to the passage of the bill, it was
really thought by some that the bill
would cover the reservation, and it was
not deemed best to endanger the bill by
making any more definite provision.
The whole matter was considered and aC-
ton taken in the way thought best.
AS to the legislation fixing an earlier
date for the opening of the reservation.
I will say that this matter was never
called to my mind until the proclamation
had been issued. l had been asked TO
urge the opening OF the reservation and
this l had done. l had also received
communications from the department in
answer to my requests, stating that after
the proclamation was issued it would be
six months before the reservation would
cations l transmitted to different parties
interested and received no objections
whatever. After the proclamation had
been issued, protests were sent III and re-
quests made that an earlier date should
have been set for opening the lands to
settlement. then looked up the law and
found that it provided that six months
must transpire from the issuance of the
proclamation before entry and settle
ment could be made. 1t was then late in
the spring, and from investigation and
conversation with different members OF
congress. and of the committee interest.
ed felt satisfied that it would be impos-
| sible to get any such legislation through;
at least it would have been impossible to
get it through in time to do any good.
1t must be further understood that, under
the homestead laws, an entrytnau has
which to establish his residence upon the
land. This would not allow a person
who should make his entry in October
until the next April in which to establish
his settlement
1t seems to me that this provision some.
what obviates the objection to the late
opening, as person can raise his crops
somewhere else during this year, make
his entry upon his land and settle upon
it in time to raise crop next year.
Everything was done by the delegation
that could have been done i'll these diff
ferent matters. Sincerely yours,
w. l.. JONES

few days or months at some mountain
resort during the hot season can find no
nicer or more convenient place i'll this

miles from Lewiston and situated on the
beautiful Lake Waha, it should be a ver-
liable paradise for those who desire to
escape the heated term in the lower alt-

KANSAS Cry, July 5.-(Special to the
TELLER Bryan has not yet been nomi-
mated but probably will be late this after
noon, but only on the adoption of the
platform without opposition. The con-
vention waited nearly all day on the
platform committee in which a hot fight
prevailed on the silver question. The
silverites controlled the committee by a
bare majority. The indications are now
that two reports will go to the conven-
ton and the battle will be fought out
there, which is the very condition
the leaders desired to avoid. Most of
the day was occupied in futile effort to
secure hearing on platform issues. The
silverites were obdurate and refused to
the last to concede single point. The
matter will be patched up temporarily,
perhaps, this afternoon. An agreement
was reached to make imperialism the
leading plank of the platform and the
leading issue ofthe campaign.
1t was conceded that the silver plank
should occupy not too prominent a
place in the platform.
The platform was completed at 80 and
the convention was reconvened. The
platform was being raed at the last re-
port. 1t will probably be adopted with
out opposition.

Very Near a Lynching.

Word was sent to the sheriff's Office
last night that Happy Jack" Lowe OF
Culdesac had assaulted some one at that
place and to send an officer. Deputy
Harve Foresman immediately left for the
scene, The particulars in regard to the
affair was reported by some Lewiston
people present, as follows: 1t seems
that "Happy Jack" Lowe, we'll known
character of Culdesac, created a disturb
ance, i'll which general fight took place.
During the melee Lowe threw stone
at some young man, hitting him in the
head and seriously wounding him. The
crowd becoming iucensed at the brutal
act shouted cries of Lynch himln
Lynch him. and Immediately started
towards him. Seeing the tight place he
was in he drew his revolver and held the
crowd at bay, backing away and disap-
pearing, which was the occasion for
sending for the sheriff.

BlantOn Talks Back.

President J. p. Blanton of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, was in Spokane Saturday.
When asked by reporter of the S.R. to
explain the causes leading up to the re-
cent summary action of the board of re-
gents Of that institution Mr.. Blanton
said,
''Some months ago addressed com
munication to the resident members of
the board of fregents--Messrs. Gilbert and
Cornwall of Moscow---in which ! called
their attention TO their usurpation of the
powers of the president, and pointed out
their irregular, extravagant, if not dis
honest methods of conducting the busi-
ness affairs of the institution. This com
munication was an indignant arraignment
of the two regents, and its truth and
justice were evidently acknowledged, as
attempted. sent copy to each mem-
Der of the board and to the governor, ac-
companied by explanatory letters, 1t was
shown that the methods of the commit

disafecton and disloyalty in the faculty
and would eventually distroy the con-
fidence of the people in the business

assurance was given large committee

The Gold Brick swindIe.

'sThe gold brick swindle." said
business man quoted In the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, els one Of the
most plausible. propositions ever ad-
vanced and has landed some Of the
cleverest business men I'm the country.
A number of years ago IL used to be n
common thing for banks I'm the west to
buy gold bricksI mean real ones
and frequently there were the best Of
reasons for keeping the transaction
quiet.
at often happened that the owner Of
some partly developed mine would
make an unexpected strike and wish
to buy the adjacent property. Natu-
rally he would want to hold back the
news OF his discovery until he secured
the land and if he had any bullion to
dispose OF would make the sale as
quietly as possible. The banks be-
came accustomed to deals Of that kind
and were consequently pretty easy
prey for the gold brick swindler who
turned up with q precisely similar stO-
ry.

say that fully one-third of all the bank
ing houses I'm the western mineral belt
were at some time victimized by this
game"
