Select Prosperity.
Auditor J. c. Callahan returned
Monday from visit to his old home
in Alden, Iowa. This is his first Wis
it in eighteen years. He reports a
very enjoyable time. Mrs. Callahan
and Freddie are at Hunters Hot
Springs, Montana. They will return
to Rathdrum about the irst OF
August.
Although Mr.. Callahan mad good
time on his trip, when asked Of The
prosperity which it is claimed exists
| in the eastern states he replied:
prosperity? My dear sir, didn't
see any prosperity. There is no more
prosperity in the east than in the
west. OF course the farms in that
country are better mproved-better
buildings, better fences, better kept
up aud cultivated. and the country
presents better appearance than the
west, simply because the country is
older and more labo--twice or three
times or more--has been expended
upon it, hut there is the same jump
ing sideways for the almighty dollar
as there Is right here ia Rathdrum.
There is absolutely no money in cir
culation. 1t is said there as it is
here, that the banks are full OF
money, but if it is so it is precious
little good it does the people. II
there is any prosperity Ia the east il
is select prosperity and Hes with the

SENATE HARSHLY CRITICISED IN
THE SMALL PRESS OF LONDON

London. Dee. 1.-THE adoption by the
United States Senate of the Davis amend
men; to the Hay-Pauncefotc treaty yester-
dav il evidently regarded as far TOO weighty
a matter for hurried comment by the Lon
don morning journals.
Accordingly the Times and most OF the
other papers will postpone until tomorrow
their editoria, treatment Of the question in
its present phase.
The Daily Chronicle, however, publishes a
short notice, and says:
THE news is very serious indeed. X
means. in a word. that the jingoes and
Anglo-phobes of the United States Senate
have tIiumphed. and that We are back
again to-day where We were al the time of
the Venezuelan imbroglie and President
Clevelands insolent and provocative speech.
The better feeling manifested during the
Spanish-American War has been shaken by
Pro- -Boer sympathies and it Is now swanped
by self-interest.
Good Relations Menaccd.
THE Americans intend to fortify the ca
nal in spite of the treaty engagement. to
the contrary. We cannot possibly stand
by and allow the ciayton-Bulwe treaty to
be thus imperously set aside. The good
relations between the two countries must
