A "New York Herald' man who has
been travelling through the sixteen states
beyond the Missouri River for the express
purpose OF studying the political condi-
tions reports that in his Judgment.
Mckinley VIII get at least 81 electoral
votes in that part of the country (as
against Is four years ago) and probably
more. lie points out where the Repubn-
can gains will be made, bryan. " he
says, must gain seventy electoral votes
east OF the Missouri River over what he
received in 1896 to be elected in 1900. -
But the only states in which Bryan has
any reasonable hope of gaining, are
Maryland and Kentucky, and the cleo
toral votes which both can furnish win
fall short of the required number.

1t is evident that there is to be no lack
Of candidates for the place made vacant
by the death OF Judge Haskell. Besides
Judge Peabody two candidates are al.
ready in the field, Col. j. b. Peaks OF
Dover, chairman of the Board OF Rail
road Commissioners, and &c. N.
Merrill Esq, of Skowhegan, who
was a member of the last House
Of Representatives. Both of these
gentlemen are capable though not con-
spicuous lawyers, and either Of them
would probably make very satisfactory
judge But the eastern part of the state
has three judges already, while the west
ern part, which is more populous andhas
more business interests, has but one. The
logic of the situation calls for the filing
Of the vacancy caused by Judge HaskeH's
death by man from this section. The
only possible excuse for going into the
Fourth district would be that a better
man could be found there than in the
first. But that Is not the case.ss Judge
Peabody is the equal, at least, in all the
qualifications needed for the bench, of
either Col Peaks or Mr.. Merrill.

on why silver cannot be used in IN
ternationa1 transactions at the ratio
of IS to even. Silver men should
insist on a different ratio if they
would have the benefit of prac-
ticai argument. If by legislation
silver can be made to pass current
with gold at the ratio of 16 to l.,
by making the legislation little
stronger it could possible be made
to pass at 2 to I, or even to 1, in
which event it would serve for in
ternationa1 purposes. The Record
ought not to publish such informa-
ton on the eve of a union of the
silver forces. 1t may disconcert
things.

HE WILL BE.

Al Pennsylvania paper has the
following to say respecting, Mr..
Morrison, Republican candidate for
Representative in Congress: John
T. Morrison, of Caldwell Idaho, is
a candidate for Congress on the Re-
publican ticket out there. He is a
son of John Morrison, of Brock
wayville, and a brother of Robert
Morrison, of Washington township.
Mr., Morrison comes of good, sub
stantial Beechwoods Republican
stock and would make an able, con-
scientious and faithful member of
Congress. He is honorable, ener-
getic and reliable, and would be a
credit to the Republicans Of Idaho.
1t is the sincere hope ofhis many
friends in this county that he will
be triumphantly elected" We be-
lieve the hope of Mr.. Morrison's old
friends will be gratifed.~ He will
probably be elected; surely will if
the people of Idaho do not lose
their heads.

pie to suppose that the campaign
OF 1900 would be conducted on the
issues of 1896. In this it seems
that they were mistaken"
Senator Stewart then quotes Mr..
Bryan's declaration of his intention,
If elected, to call an extraordinary
session of Congress to give the Phil
lppines freedom upon the same
terms as Cuba. He also denounces
the recent convention of anti i'm
perlalists at Indianapolis. He also
denounces the recent convention of
ant1-lmperialists at indianapolis.
He also denounces Mr.. BRYAN for
promising to attempt to "extend
the Monroe doctrine to the Orient"

point. 1t indicates that the state
must equally protect itself against
the misdeeds Of both classes. Leg
is1ators must fix the responsibilities
as well as the rights Of each. If
men cannot operate their mills and
mines satisfactorily without employ
ing 1awless characters, let the mills
and mines be closed. Again if the
state is to be called on to protect
employers against their own en-
ployes, the state should have some
thing to say as to the terms Of the
contract between employer
and employee. The Govern
or of this State has established an
employment bureau which stands
at the face of the mines of Shoshone
county, saying to all workingmen,
''You shall not seek employment
here without the consent of the
governor" IF that is permissible,
the Board of Arbitration and Con-
troll ought to open another bureau
saying to all mine owners. You
shall not do business until you
have obtained our permission; and
YOU cannot have that until you sat
isfy us that you have never COM
mitted an act of oppression or in
justice towards an employee. You
must show to us that you have
never been in anywise connected
with company store or company
boarding house; you must prove
that you have never. discharged a
man to crafty spite or whin;
you must be able to show that you
have always paid as high wages as
your business would justify, having
due regard to legitimate profits;
you must prove that you were new
er connected with a sweat shop;
you must satisfy us that you are a
generous and humane institution
we'll disposed to the comfort and
happiness of those in your employ
ment. IF the state is to engage in
preventing bad men from imposing
themselves on good employers, it
should alsosee to it that good men do
not fall into the clutches of bad en-
ployers. Our Democratic friends
have been to great pains for many
years telling us whatgreat friends of
the working men they are, but up to
this writing, in this State, they
have given us nothing as an earn
est of their sincerity except the
bull pen and the permit.

POLITICAL POINTS.
.(BY POLITICIAN

The somewhat sensational re-
ports emanating from the Soldiers
Home are causing the State Ad-
ministration no slight uneasiness.
The Record of this place urges in
extenuation that the woman in the
case is rather an unsavory charact-
er. That would seem to have been
the presumption in the mind of
Superintendent Ainslie. In any
event, to set up at this stage of the
proceedings, the bad reputation of
Mrs Kreig is a dubious line of de-
Tense. it may involve a searching
inquiry into the character of Mr..
Ainslie, and consequent disclosures
respecting his relations with Mrs.
Harris. 1t will be embarrassing if
that early morning doorstep cpl
sode should be verified
A meeting of the Silver Republi-
can central committee is called for
today, and the Record urges a full
attendance. Can it be possible
that Jake is beginning to waver,
that he must appeal to himself in
his own editorial columns? 1t is
known that Mrs. Bardmas is as SOL
id as the eternal hills, SO an appeal
to her, was entirely uncal1ed for.
Possibly though she is not mem-
Der of the central committee. If
that is true, why not Jake and Mrs.
Bardmas assemble and hold Sill
yer Republican mass meeting.
Those who are acquainted with
the state of Governor Steunenberg' S
mind upon his return from the Po-
catello convention and who have
learned that he will enter the cam
paign are curious to know whether
he will arm himself with dumdum
missiles Or Lyddite cartridges. Lyd-
dite on account of its peculiar odor
would, it is thought, be better
adapted to the situation,
One of the Democratic cries in
this campaign is that there is no
prosperity, and in proof they pick
out here and there instances of ad-
versity. If any one should ask,
what is the general state of health
in Canyon county, the answer
would be, excellent, yet there are
sick people among us. You can
pick them out here and there all
over the county, but the general
health is good. If this fall the
smallpox should assume a virulent
form, and sweeping over the county
leave behind it in nearly every
home trail of death and desolation
it would effect the health of the
community as a Democratic admin
istration does it's prosperity. The
difference is that under Republican
ism adversely is endemic while under
Democracy it becomes epidemic.
Or Vlce versa under Democracy
prosperity is endemic while under
Republicanism it is epidemic.
To hear some Republican papers
talk, one might suspect that the
Republican party had just recently
been engaged in an instruction,
and was trying to cover up, the facts
by bowling for law and order.
There is such thing as protesting
too much.

TIL r BICYCLE TAX
Mr.. Shores Position in the Matter

10 the report Of Mayors court PROCEEDINGS
Saturday was mcuton of the arrest OF Mr.
Shore for riding a bicycle without a trg, and
that The bearing had been postponed until
Monday.
1t seems that It WIS q mistake as TO the
date, and that The hearing wos simply post
poned by understanding hetwee1 the Mayor
and Dir. Shores attorney and will come up
later.
In conversation with ar. Shore be stated
to the writer that be is opposing the bicycle
tax because il is unlawful, and be does not
think it good citizenship TO submit TO auy-
thing that is not right. Counci tried the
same thing four years ago and had to refund
the money. At that time the opinion below
was given by Judge Fraser, city attorney,
aud the city charter has not been amended
sioce.
Mr.. Shore Gays that when be was iu council
be moved to have the city charter al ended.
but 1t was not done For the same reason
the special tax on dogs, which he thinks
good thing, If lawful, was discon,iored Mr.
Shore says that he ia resisting the bicycle ia
only because it is unwarran,ed, and because
be thinks officials should not attempt to act
beyond their powers.
