THE TRUSTS.

We were as much pleased as as
tonished sometime ago to find that
the Democrats gave promising
signs of agreeing with the Repub-
1icans On one important public
question, which led us to believe
they had actually repented their
action last spring in voting down
resolution to amend the Constitu-
ton of the United States so as to
enable Congress to regulate and
suppress trusts. Of late, however,
there are distressing signs of back
sliding. The great roar against
trusts is hushed, and nothing is
heard on the Democratic side ex-
cept the occasional shrill piping of
a pro-Pop editor or the rehashing of
an ancient campaign document,
sent out by some clerk of the Con-
gressiona1 committee in a moment
of alteration. We have begun to
suspect that the Democrats, true to
their perverse instincts, upon being
assured that the Republicans have
determined to demo1ish harmful
trusts, have determined to be for
them. And, indeed, here is
shrewd political move. Democrats
could hardly hope to carry Tam
many wards of New York city on
an antitrust platform, and it is
doubtful if they could carry Ar
kansas. Who will put up the cash
to carry New York city for the
Democrats if the result is to be the
smashing Of the Democratic ice
trust? And who is going to keep
Arkansas in line if Senator J. K.
Jones' round bale trust is to be
smashed? Possibly, though, the
presence of these grinding monop.
o1ies in the Democratic sanctuary is
not the sole reason for the subsi-
dence of the roar against trusts.
The old perverse spirit may have
something to do with it. Demo
Gratis generally would rather die
wrong and go to purgatory than be
right for moment with promise of
eternal bliss, if in being right they
must agree with the Republicans.

A VOICE FROM KANSAS.

Mr.. w. E. Kibbe who was del
egate to the Sioux Falls convention
from Kansas, has thought the mat
ter over and come to the following
conclusion:
"The mighty things that con-
front us today must be met from a
standpoint other than party, and
the way the questions have been
met and managed by the party in
power thus far ought to be approx
ed by the American people. Dur
ing my few remaining days I pre-
fer to be a citizen rather than a
partisan, and instead of still staying
over in the old mule lot, with its
gloom and mud listening to the
eternal braying of asses and the
croaks of frogs and making faces
and throwing mud at the great pro-
cession moving along, I am going
to jump the fence, get out into the
broad, sunny highway, join it and
help make, not mar, our prosperous,
progressive, yea, imperial country
as it enters upon the new century
with its many great problems still
waiting for solution.
During the past five years since
Populism began to make fusion al
liances i have witnessed more
schemes, more disreputable political
trading, more low cunning among
fusion officials than I found during
all the 80 years I was a Republican.
The Populist party has sought to
add strength to itself by making all
kinds of alliances with other minor
ity parties alien to it in principle.
1t would fuse with Democrats in
the North, and with Republicans in
the South and with Socialists any
where, with the natural result OF
receiving the antagonism and con-
tempt of all"

Lynn canal; driven away from Pyr-
amid harbcr, from Dyea and Skag-
way. The Indian village of Ktuk-
wan, which Canada claimed, was
taken in as American territory.
Instead of having a tidewater port
Of entry, Canada was deprived of
even canal navigation into the
Klondyke.
When the extent of the conces-
sions made by Canada and the Unit
ed States is compared it is discover
ed that Canada has conceded more
than 100 miles and the United
States not more than 10 miles, and
nothing that the United States has
done has vitiated or weakened its
claim, which is even now being
pressed.
"The temporary boundary ar
rangement which will be in effect
for some time to come, appears to
quiet the main contention of Amer
ican merchants On this coast-that
Canada is not entitled to a point on
the tidewater where ships from Brit
ish territory could land the bulk
of supplies for the upper Yukon.
All seaports of Alaska are still un-
der American control and the advan-
tages is still with the American
ship-owner.
1T is also a satisfaction to know
that the contention of the United
States that no Alaskan port can be
ceded to Great Britain is maintained
and that there is little danger of
signing over territory acquired by
actual purchasefrom Russia. Since
the gold fields of the Yukon are in
creasing their output and trade with
that section is steadily increasing,
the opportunities for commercial
benefits is more fattering than be-
fore"

THE OESPOT is REIGNlNG.

In view of the fact that Mr.. Bry-
ans party is disfranchising the me-
groes of the United States by the
thousands, because, as they say,
the negros are incapable of exercis-
ing the franchise in an intelligent
way, the following extract from
Bryan's acceptance speech is inter-
esting: "Once admit that some
people are capable of self-govern-
ment and that others are not, and
that the capable people have right
to seize upon and govern the incap-
able and you make force-brute
force-the only foundation of gov
ernment and invite the reign of the
despot."

SOME FACTS.

According to figures sent out
from the Government Agricultural
Statistics Bureau, Idaho is poorer
today in horse values than it was
in 1896. On January I, 1896, the
total value of the horses of Idaho
was $3,328,57o, on January I of
this year it was only 81, 863,5o4, an
amount less by 1884, ,o66. But
from January I, 1896, to January I,
1897, there were thousands upon
thousands Of Idaho horses butch
cred to make an American washday
otherwise soap grease. There
were less than half as many horses
in Idaho on January I, 1900, than
on January I, 1896. But the very
fact that we have less in horse flesh
now than we had in 1896 is a first
rate Democratic argument either
for anti-imperialisn, antitrust or
I6 toI It is a somewhat discour-
aging fact though that in mules we
are $2,796 better off. Then in
mich cows, we are about $4,000
better off; in other cattle, some
thing over 3 millions of dollars bet
ter off. The famine in India prob
ably accounts for all these increased
riches while 16 to I and imperial
ism are responsible for the loss in
horses which went into soap grease
before Mckinley was inaugurated.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

Every once in a while some be-
logged Democratic editor cries out
III the bitterness of his soul, "How
about hauling down the flag on the
Alaskan boundary" The idea is
to circulate the impression that
President Mckinley has entered in
to some sort of a secret alliance with
England and in Difference to Eng
lands demands has surrendered a
lot Of American territory. Proba-
bly, not one in ten of these Demo
cratic howlers has ever taken the
trouble to learn anything about the
Alaskan boundary question, and to
save his soul could not give any in
telligent explanation of the subject
or the present status of the contro-
versy. As no good silver organ
could be expected to believe any
thing said by Republican, we take
pleasure in submitting an article on
this question which appeared recent
1y the Spokane Spokesman PeVie0O,
and leave the silver singers to
settle the matter among themselves.
The Spokesman Re0iez0 says:
"Prior to- the breaking out of
wars in the Philippines and the
Orient a topic of unusual interest
on the Pacific coast was the Alas
kan boundary dispute. At that
time the Pacific northwest TUNED
its attention to securing the trade
of a section of British North Amer
ica which promised great revenue.
The Klondyke business is still large
enough to be watched and today
instead of Canada having more
privileges in the shipment of sup
plies into the Klondyke, the domin-
ion government appears to be more
handicapped. Secretary of State
Hay, who has devoted several years
to study Of the boundary dispute,
first as Americas representative at
the court of St. James and later as
head of the state department at
Washington, asserts that the criti-
Cistn that the Alaska boundary
agreement was a surrender tC
| Great Britain" is not warranted by
the facts. He made statement tC
this effect in a recent interview con
cerning the moduS ziVcndi.

fixed by an officer Of the United

astronomer at each of the points al
which the disputed country could

village of Klukwan, these lines only
being drawn at the places, where
access could be had into the country
beyond. 1t was to be merely

the time being, SO that each countr!
should know where it could exer

BROCNY'S REVELATION.

People in this locality may, by
an effort, recall one G. O Broxon,
who one time drew salary here as
principal of the public schools.
They will remember him, if at ali,
as rather a lightweight, cratic,
frey tempered little cuss, without
much individuality behind his
spectaCles, but withal a most devot-
ed little creature-to Governor
Steunenberg. After he was elected
from the public schools, a stipend
was given him for acting as third
vice secretary Of the exchequer of
State or something like that, and he
went away without being missed.
In the course Of political events it
became necessary for Steunenberg
to have just such little whipper-
snapper as Broxon in Pocatello.
Or at least that was what Steunen-
berg thought, though he has since
had much occasion to think other
wise. So the professor, together

second with unbounded hilarity. In
Justice to his devotion and loyalty,
we want to testify that lie nevers
utters a word which he does not
know to be the expression OF a
Steunenberg sentiment. 1t is the
desire of his soul, and the obligation
of his life to put into the columns
