CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-.

'.According to recent dispatches
in the city papers we notice that
John T. Morrison, Esq, of Cald-
well, Idaho, has been named tor
Congress by the Republicans OF his
State. Mr.. Morrison is the son OF
our aged townsman John Morrison
the family being one of the oldest
and best known in this section.
From the fact that he spent his
boyhood days here amongst us, Mr..
Morrison's many friends will be
glad to know that he has been sue
cessful in both business and
politics in his adopted State.
From his youth he has shown a
disposition to thrift and industry,
and he is making for himself an
honest and honorable career. He
is regarded throughout this county
as man of true sterling qualities,
honest and upright, and he will
make an able, conscientious and
faithful member of Congress. Ida
no Republicans have made no mis-
take in rendering the nomination tc
him and we earnestly hope things
will go his way at the coming
election"
That is what Mr.. Morrison
home paper and home people think
of him and exactly what the people
of Idaho think. The only draw
back to these concentrations from
home is that they seem to establish
the fact that Mr.. Morrison is not
prophet, but he doesn't profess tt
be, so there is no great harm done

Maryland is close State, and it
IS especially significant, therefore,
that its gold Democrats and hide

into line for President Mckinley as
they did in 1896. Mr.. Charles T,
Bonaparte, of Baltimore, one of
their leaders, declares that he will
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt,
because Bryan's candidacy is "a
menace to American institutions
and American credit" Of the
democratic party he says: cit

he ticket. There were Ave can

on the ticket. There were FIVE cam
didates for sheriff, each anxious TO
unite The reform forces on himself.
There were also three candidates
for county attorney, four for county
commissioner, six for member of
the legislature and ali the rest for
assessor. This plethora Of candi-
dates was extremely embarrassing,
especially SO in view of the fact
that there wasn't a plain voter IN
sight to arbitrate. It was finally
determined to abandon the fusion
project for the present,
and call triangular conven-
ton, Ia Pocatello, at Nampa, on
the 18th. The reform forces are
experiencing many set backs this
fall. The bulk Of the voters seem
to be exasperatingly unconcerned
and don't care a rap whether they
have any reform or not. The re-
form promoters are no longer doing
the fourishing business they used
to do. The people refused to be
fooled all the time.

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the PQbnlists ofthe State Of
Idaho: Although some details are
not yet fully known, the political
situation confronting the Peoples
party in this State at the present
time may with considerable certain
ty be described as follows:
Fusion leaders parading as Pop
llists, but proving themselves by
their actions to be Democrats in
disguise, have lately been busy
making new deals with the Demo
cratic party leaders, and as result
the State ticket nominated by the
Peoples party convention at Poca-
tello, in July last, has now been
virtually sold out. The Bryan
Towne presidential electors have
been withdrawn in favor Bryan
Stevenson electors nominated by
the Democratic convention, and a
combination State ticket has been
made up under the name of Demo
cratic, consisting of a majority of
Democratic candidates, together
with few Populists, so-called, and
F. Dubois, Silver Republican, as
the endorsed candidate for U. S.
Senator. This fusion ticket the
Populists of Idaho will now be ask
ed to support and vote for, i'll spite
of the fact that the peoples
Party State convention at Pocatello
decided against fusion and nomi-
mated Peoples party State ticket
(although the convention had evi,
IDENTIFY been called for the very pur.
pose of cfecting a fusion with the
Democrats).
Will the true and honest Popu.
lists of Idaho quietly submit tc
such treachery, and permit schem,
ing politicians to sell the Peoples
party out in order to destroy it Of
make it simply side show of the
Democratic circus? It has beer
tried before, and with some success
and if it is allowed, to pass agar
this year, without being effectively
counteracted, it will be the fna
death blow to the Peoples party il
this State. Now, then, let US make
an earnest effort, no matter how
hard the times or how busy the
season, to save our noble party
from destruction, and our grand
principles from being bartered away
Let us rally round the banner O
true Populism and fight for it to {
finish-be it a glorious victory Of
| an honorble defeat. A call for &
mass convention of the true Popu
lists Of this State will be ISSUED
within a few days. Let us get to
gether in said State convention, a.
many as can possibly attend, mem
bers of the Peoples party as vel
as other true reformers who believe
in the fundamental principles O
this party, and foremost among
these the principle of Direct Legis
lation, the Iniative and the Refer
dunn, the Imperative Mandate, etc.
for the purposes to be set forth in
the above mentioned call. Let u.
consult and reason together, and al
though we may not always agree

various ones in school in attending to
the housework, study and any other
recreation which they may choose. Each
evening lecture is given in the chapel.
The old Stone mansion which stands
about a mile west of Washburn college

The school is being conducted on lines
parallel with those being observed at
the Shiloh Bible and missionary training
school conducted by Rev. Chas Sand

One Of the turrets of the Stone man
sion has been fitted up for a PRAYER
tower, where prayer will be offered con-
tinually until the coming of the Lord
The way this is accomplished is to
have the students take turns in spend

in the tower in prayer. At stated pc

other student, who continues to pray
until relieved, and so on, day by day

M,KINLEY WARNED.
Austrian Paper Says Imperialism
Means War Against the World

Vienna. Nov. s.-The Austrian press is
not particularly favorable toward Presi-
dent Mckinley and seven leading journals
warn him not to push Imperialism too
far.
The Neuie Erie Presse thinks that the
policy of the United States in China will
now become more steady and energetic.
The Allegmine Zeitung recalls Count
Goluchowsky's plan of a Pan-European
alliance against America and says:
An imperialist policy will compel the
United States to seek new markets. The
end of Imperialism everywhere is war.
In the present case it is war against the
whole world"
London. Nov. s-The Vienna correspond
ent of the Times, after recalling various
incidents that have caused friction, says:
1T Is scarcely too much to say that the
United States Is the power that enjoys
the least popularity here not only among
politicians who are unable to forget the
Spanish-American war but also among
commercial people who are unable to for
give American prOtectiOnist measures.
There is a universal indifference to the
elections in the United States and this
would not have been affected even by Mr.
Bryan's success. The Austrians are not
yet reconciled to the idee- that they must
treat the United States as a great power''

fully tested the new food and finally
began its use in my family, with most
gratifying results.
My little boy at that time was a
pale, anaemic child and very poorly
nourishea. Now, thanks to Grape Nuts,
he is as fine a specimen of infanti1e
strength as I could wish for My own
personal experiece means much to me
For some years I was troubled with
dyspepsia; that is, could not eat bread
or any preparation OF bolted wheat -four
such as cake or any of the starchy
preparations, without a fit of indiges-
ton, sour stomach, costiveness, and
headache.
As soon as quit that sort of food
and used Grape-Nuts, which has the
starchy part predigested, I began to re-

Denver, Col, Nov. s.-Although the re-

paid is about 900. It is known
that experts for the companies in the
deal have made a thorough examina-

the report comes that the deal is prac-
tical1y closed. The plan reported from
London is to consolidate the Portland

Such a consolidation would create not

ELECTION ROW.
Started at Washington, Pa, Continues
Until Today.

Washington. Penn, Nov. S.-After a
night of excitement over threatened
conflict between negroes and whites, quiet
prevails this morning and through the
prompt action Of the town authorities,
aided by the members of company H
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, a race
riot was averted- The trouble started on
Tuesday night over the election and the
fighting was kept up for a large part Of
the night and all of yesterday. There
were. numerous encounters between the
negroes and whites and several persons
were seriously injured.
Fearing a serious outbreak, large
number of extra policemen were sworn
in and these with squads of the Tenth
regiment patrolled the street until day
light A dozen arrests were made and
warrants are out for many more. This
morning the excitement has died down
and unless there are more assau ults no
further trouble is apprehended. The out
break. it is said, was instigated by ne
groes recently brought from the south by
Contracting firms.
