Four years ago Bryan stood for free
silver; for practical destruction of the
Supreme Court; for the Chicago riot;
for reduction of the tariff, which
would bring back the disastrous Demo
cratic times from 1898 to 1896. His
careful avoidance of such issue in his
speech of acceptance shows that Bryan
is shifty politician, and that he
does not stand for free silver as he
did in 1896, but that he has taken up
another cry which he thinks is popu-
lar. Bryan does not stand for the same
things now that he stood for when
the Kansas City Convention met, and
a little brief inside history of how
the so-called Imperialism was made
the paramount issue'w will show how
Bryan shifted his position in order to
catch what he thought was popular

Cleveland as two of the members of

under The Hague treaty. The presi-
dent is entitled to name four arbitra-

to carry out the terms of the treaty
in good faith and to put the United
States in po ition of great influence
whenever the arbitrators have cccas-

both appointees will accept. The place
of arbitrator under the treaty is one
of great honor and great usefulness.

Don't Block the Way.

Mining is a legitimate industry, whose
advance may not be for long kept in
allegiance. But it frequently happe ns
and especially in the older camps, that
a serious blocking comes in, and by the
very men it most damages. Because a
man has grown up with the camp is no
reason for HIM to demand 'raks-off''
from every sale or bond. Numerous
sales have been stopped because Of this,
with the result that good prospects
stand good chance to remain prospects
for years to come, whereas had proper
spirit been displayed they would now
be we'll on the way to mines. The
camp, having q host Of idle and but few
working mines, gets black eye. In.
yestors know something is wrong, and
naturally fight shy. 1t may be changed
before new generation gets control but
not unless some of the old timers let
alone things in which they haye no pos.
sible interest. II buyer happens
along, lot him and the owner ralone-you'
will get good ''slice" from the activity
that will result from sale to people
able to make mines.-Idaho Mining
