Senator Shoup the other day

Senator Shoup the other day
in the United States Senate cast
his vote to place this country On
a single gold standard. BY his
vote he did not voice the wish of
more than tenth of the people
of Idaho. He has at last thrown
off the mask, and boldly casts
his vote to further destroy Ida
hos greatest industry. We did
not think there would ever come
q time that q Senator from Idaho,
regardless of politics, would lend
his voice and vote to strike the
final blow at an industry so dear
and of SO much Importance as
silver in Idaho. And an officer
who will betray his people once
should not be trusted again. We
believe that Senator Shoup will
ask for reelection next winter,
and if so, it is the duty of every
man and woman in Idaho who
believe in silver and want to see
the State prosper, to vote and
work against his reelection. Mr..
Shoup received his election by "a
close vote and a party at that
time declared for bimetallism in
its platform, and yet in the face
of all this and his surroundings,
claiming to represent q State in
the United States Senate-a
State like Idaho-with it's thous-
ands of idle silver mines, mills
and machinery decaying and rust
ing away in enforced idleness;
and deserted towns and villages,
all owing TO the crime of the de-
monetization of silver, and know
ing all this, but when the propo-
sition was voted on in the Senate
the other day to place this coun:
try upon o single gold standard,
Mr.. Shoup the "silver (p) Sena-
tor" of Idaho, responded "Aye."
But to cover up his actions in this
matter, he has the Tribune print
a column of rot to the effect that
he is "still a great friend of sill
ver." This kind of gush may be
good food for the weak minded,
but no one with a grain of COM
mon sense takes any stock what
ever in such nonsense. Actions
speak louder than words, and
Mr.. Shoup expressed his true
attitude on this vital question by
his vote, and there is no use of
him trying to go behind the rec
ord. We believe the people of
Idaho from now on have come to
the conclusion they do not want
in the future ''such a silver man"
as Senator Shoup to represent
them and their interests.

premises or he will knock me
down-who is the aggressor, no
matter who strikes the first
blow ? No case of aggression
can be clearer, shuttle and pre-
varicate as you will.
Let us recapitulate. We go to
war with Spain in behalf of an
oppressed colony of hers. We
solemnly proclaim that this to be
a war-not of conquest-God
forbid but of liberation and
humanity. We invade the Span
ish colony of the Philippines,
destroy the Spanish feet, and
invite the cooperation of the
Filipino insurgents against
Spain. We accept their effective
aid as allies, all the while per-
hitting them to believe that, in
case Of victory, they will be free
and independent. By active
fighting they get control of a
large part of the interior coun-
try, from which Spain is virtual
ly ousted. When we have cap
tured Manila and have no further
use for our Filipino allies, our
President directs that, behind
their backs, a treaty be made
with Spain transferring their
country to us; and even before
that treaty is ratified, he tells
them that, in place of the Span
iards, they must accept US as
their masters, and that if they
do not, they will be compelled
by force of arms. They refuse,
and we shoot them down; and, as
President Mckinley said at Pitts
burgh, we shall continue to shoot
them down without useless
parley."

childish. If he thought he could
not order Commodore Dewey

ecution of the order to DESTROY
the Spanish fleet, he could have

NEW LIGHT ON SHAKESPEARE
A LETTER FROM EI.sINoRE-THE wARwIcKsHIRH
DIALECT
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of / he Tribune.
Sir: While there newly issued from the press
three volumes this week reprove the Baconian
authorship of Shakespeare. it is remarkable that
every norsel of scholarly and laborious discovery
as accommodating morsels arrive goes to prove that
only the Shakespeare know would have pro-
duced those plays
Appleton Morgan's discovery that the Shake
spearian authorship is conclusively proved, if in
no other way by the occurrence in every of the
plays of Warwckshire dialect and prcnuncia ton
that is that the puns in the plays be intellgble
require the Warwickshire pronunciation of the
vowels-is notable. The late Haili|ell Phillips s

days when Shakespeare was lad. which explains
that curious line,

comes the "Frankfurter Zeitung" of February S
with the tidings of discovery in Kronburg Castle
(near the Citadel of He.singor- Elsinore
by the English omission of the aspirate by Shake
speare) of a curious letter This letter states that
in 1885 body OF strong actors from England

breaking the peace. by rioting disorderly con-
duct. resulting in some damage to a wooden fence.
etc AS nearly these actors names (Which are
given can be identified in the German spelling it
would seem that some of them were Shakespeare s
fellows. And here is accounted for the fact that
in Shakespeare's version of Hamlet the scene is
laid in this Helsingor, Elsinore whereas, in the
preceding Kyd Hamlet. place of the action

All this confirms present idea of Shakespeare.
viz, that he was constantly gathering details Of
all of things and writing them into his plays
and that this exuberance of detail, which has mis-
led many really serious scholars into the Baco-
nian heresy. is really, when examined. most
capital proof OF the orthodox Shakespeare
But while scholarship has alternative but
rebuke and reject Baconianism. the question
whether of the Shakespeare plays
not collaboratcd is legitimate one. Perhaps
the Appleton Morgan -Warwickshre dialect theory
might throw a light upon this. For example, in
tabulating Mr. Morgan's evidence I find that

ATTACHING SNOW WITH PICKS.
VARIOUS EXCUSES FOR NAGLEs sLoWNEss
IN GETTING THE STREETS CLEARED.


IN GETTING THE STREETS CLEARED.
More progress was made yesterday in the work
OF clearing the streets of snow than on the two
previous days. Commissioner Nagle of the Street
Cleaning Department has not been cble to make
nearly so good a record on this occas sion as he did
when, just after assuming office. he attacked with
conmendable energy the first really big snowfall
of the winter
Mr. Nagle's assistants yesterday had numerous
excuses to offer for the sowness in removing the
snow on Friday and Saturday In the first place
it was explained that the work of opening up the
streets after the previous snowstorm began upon a
Sunday, when many wagons and carts were
wanted were readily obtained. This time, however
the work began Friday, when il found i'm
possible TO get all the caring facilities that
required: Then, again the street cleaning officials

II was the same yesterday and the cry of the
tractors was for picks. They asserted that they
were unable to ind enough picks in the city keep

Commissioner Nage made il known through his
assistants yesterday that he intended TO have all
the main thorouShfares completely cleared of snow.
For the purpose OF carrying that promise the
entire force Of the Street Cleaning Department was
ordered help the contra ctor's men. 1t
