The democrats voted with the
republicans to declare war against
Spain; they voted for an appropri-
alton of $50, 900, 900 to meet the
expenses Of the same. Later they
repudiate their own actions therein
and charge the administration and
republican party with imperialism
And why9 Simply because the
administration has sought to re-
imburse the government to the ex-
tent Of its power for the cost Of
such war by taking all it can ge,
belonging to the enemy. The dem
ocratic party has ever been and in.
dications are strong that it will
always be during its present lease
Of life, a party of Inconsistencies.

Now that Willis Sweet has an
nounced publicly the severing OF
his connection with what at one
time could be termed the silver
republican party In this state, and
his lining up in the ranks of the
republican party, the contortionisi
editors of the state are greatly in.
censed thereat and are giving vent
to their feelings in a manner that
is not only illogical and petty, but
shows plainly the animus of the
writer's. There is. however, CON
ISOLATION in the fact that Willis
Sweet is thoroughly capable of de-
Tending his new position in a man
ner that carries both weight and
conviction with his words.

Bryanites who have hoped to add
the republican anti'expansionists
to their political menagerie in the
coming campaign will get small
comfort from Senate, Hoar's opin-
ion concerning Bryan and Bryan
ism. Democracy under Bryan
promises nothing for the country.
1t uses anti.expansion to create a
political issue. Had Bryan been
sincere in his opposition TO this
policy he could have killed it effec-
tualiy when the Paris treaty was
before the senate for ratification,
bur he rushed to Washington and
used his influence to have the
treaty passed in order to preserve
anti expansion as campaign issue.

An exchange, which by the way
is democratic, is lamenting because
its observing editor discerned in
one glance five silver republicans
dancing around a republican
plume. " If the observer will take
another peep he will see many
times that number dancing
around" in the republican ranks,
not looking for political preferment
as he would have it, but as re-
turned prodigals, so to speak, anx-
ious to do something for their
dutiful brothers.

! :. The POLITICIAN -. /:

1t is amusing to me to read the Trib's
editorials regarding the actions of the
council amusing because of their tone
since the city printing was let. Yet
small matter like that couldn't (?) make
any difference in the policy of a non
partisan " paper.
-
Seven silver republicans assembled
themselves together a few days since, !
am informed, for a purpose, but which
became purposeless, judging by an al
legged report of the meeting. The whole
thing is strangely suggestive of that old
hymn Throw Out the Lifeline
Someone is Sinking Today"
~
The acrobatic organ of the selfstyled
anti-expansonsts sees something in the
speech of President Schurman of the
Philippine commission that causes it TO
throw up its hands and exclaim Auto
cratic power" 1t is evident to me that
the writer thereof is unmndful of the
fact that his organs idol, Steunie, has
been more autocratic in his administra-
ton of the affairs of Idaho relative to the
Cnur d'Alene troubles than was ever a
president of this great commonwealth i'll
any proposition.
~
am told a move is well on foot in
Latah county to unite all anti-republican
forces in the county for the campaign
this fall. SO far its membership appears
to be made up largely of defunct Office
seekers and shelved bosses. Just how
much of figure this new aggregation
will cut i'll the coming election is entirely
conjectural. 1t Offices sufficient to &c
around can be found to distribute, then
! in that case it is safe to say the organiza-
ton will remain intact until after eiec-
tion--that's about all.
