ROOM FOR DIFFERENCE.

That was great meeting that was
held at Weser Saturday night Promi-
nent men who had been members of the
silver republican party were conspicuous
in the audience and both the speakers
were of the same class. The memb er-
ship of the club, under the auspices of
which the meeting WAS held, is largely
madeup OF men who formerly trained with
the silver republican organizations and it
is declared that 80 per cent of the silver
republicans of the county are back in the
old party. Washington county had a
very strong silver republican organiza-
ton, but it has dissolved and its men,
bers are back in the republican fold
The Signal would not have men
toned it had not the Statesman
made this the opening statement of
its leading editorial last Monday, but
now that our contemporary forces it
upon us, the Signal will simply re-
mark that it is fairly we'll acquainted
in this county,, and rejecting care
fully upon the allegation of the
Statesman, we know at this moment
of perhaps ten men whom we could
name and three office holders who
repudiated the republican party when
it weakened on bimetallism, unless
with the consent of England, and
went back SO soon as it adopted
the gold standard outright and COM
mitted itself body and soul to pluto
cratic interests. This may denote
most remarkable ignorance on our
part, but it is actually the extent of
our knowledge. We really believe
there are more men in this county
who voted the republican ticket two
years and four years ago who are for
Bryan today than there are ex- silver
men who have turned to the golden
god. A few men around county
seat may attract attention and will
naturally be more noticeable in such
political action, but we do not be-
lieve that the great host of honest
fellows scattered through the hills
and valleys, who would naturally be
swayed by true convictions and not
by political policy to fool their
friends, are going to stultify them
selves by retracing, at the beck of
politicians with pliable coDsciences,
their steps to party grown far more
rotten than, when they left it. The
SIGNAL does not criticise the meet
ings of the opposition, though it
may the statements of speakers, but
as the Statesman gives editorial
prominence to the meeting we would
call its attention to communication
In this issue which is not far out re-
garding the occasion.

If you have conviction, seat it,
throne it, crown it. 1t is your Inherit
ance from God and deserves fitting
kingdom. Idaho State Journal
Oh, no, that wouldn't do at all,
one might want to flop. What
would all the "gobacks" do if they
had their silver convictions of four
years ago enthroned and crowned and
placed between them and the glitter
ing allurements being hung on the
old party Christmas tree for them
If all their individual utterances,
(false though they were) made to
friends regarding their convictions,
were to hang about them now so that
he who runs could read, they would
dam the inheritance from God" loud

But the democracy took the govern

blow at the best interests of the state for
the effect of the action of the convention
cannot fail to shake the confidence in
the state that has been built up in every

cumstances is dangerous in the highest

How has the democracy taken the
governors scalp? Does it lie in the
fact that the convention nominated
a senator against the governors
desire to leave the matter open? If
that constitutes blow at the best
interests of the state, would not the
republicans be striking blow at
the best interests of the state if they
elected as senator any other man
than Steunenberg, provided they got
the legislature? For the interests
of the republican party the States
man attempts to construe the nomina-
ton of Dubois for senator as some
sort of denunciation of Governor
Steunenberg's handling of the Occur
d Alene troubles. There is absolutely
no connection between the Occur d.
Alene affair and the United States
senatorship, and the Statesman is
simply playing low down political

THE STATESMAN'S PREDICAMENT
The Statesman saws:

Judge Stockslager has many friends
who are sorry because of the part he
took at Pocatello. His case illustrates
the dangerous nature of the policy of
throwing the judiciary into partisan
politics.
Judge Huston, republican men,
Der of the supreme bench spoke in
Weiser last Saturday. The States
man further says:
The judge went to Lewiston and there
threw his influence on the side of the
dynamiters He did the same again at
Pocatello, being the controlling factor in
securing the votes needed to scar the
dynamite delegation.
Did the republican party. the
Statesman's party, intend to toady
to the dynamiters when it put in II.

in the Transvaal upon the liberty-oying
Beers still goes on and the British lion
feasts upon putrefying carcasses. Now
and then he receives a check that drives
him to his lair The Beers are good
fighters. Their quarrel is Just and hence
they are thrice armed. They fight for
home and native land; their watch-word
like that of Winkeireid is liberty. All.
ready England has sacrificed TWENTY-FIVE
thousand lives and spent four million
dollars in her efforts to destroy the Boer
republic. Her supreme aim is to extend
her empire; to gobble up more land to
rob the Beers of their gold mines. British
subjects are dying of starvation by the
millions in India, their bodies rotting in
the streets, their gaunt skeletons bleach
ing in the sun. All the horror of famine.
this widespread woe, does not move the
heart of Great Britain She is so intent
on pillage, on Expansion" by the sword,
that the walls of starving millions are not

plumber and conquest; bare pittance to
stem the tide of famine in India. Here
is nation that boasts of it's vast wealth
and power whose subjects are starving by
the million asking private contributions
of other natl, ms in the name of humanity
for its own famine-striken people! And
yet England is called christian nation
and republican leaders boast of their al
lance with power whose battle cry is;
Down with Republics Capital.

1T is gratifying to know that the
intelligent citizen of German descent
is sound to the core in his devotion
to America and her free institutions.
Even if the native American should
be indifferent toward the new depart
ure and, like the vainglorious Roose-
welt, should favor expansion so that
we may become one of the warlike
powers of the world, the German
American shall remain the conserv-
alive force in the community,
and by his influence and vote check
the republican tendency toward impe-
erialism and bring us back to the dem
ocratic equality that has made this
nation the greatest on earth and its
people the most contented and
happy"

There is considerable discus,

There is considerable discussion
going on as to which conducts the
most dignified campaign, the east or
the west. The showing is decidedly
in favor of the west, and it is made
clear that the most courteous and
clean treatment of the opposition is
found toward the setting sun, where
men have always been broader and
more liberal in their ideas. For
downright mud Singing, vituperation
and abuse the eastern people can
make a westerner blush every time.
Mr.. +. L. Godkin, editor Of the
New York Evening Post, an oppo-
nent Of Bryan four years ago, in his
paper alludes to Mckinley and the
men who surround him as s.the most
dangerous set of scoundrels by
which any civilized country ever was
beset. - Did you ever see western
paper make so strong a statement
against any president, of any party.

No man shall be deprived of life, liberty
and property without due process of law;
nor shall the right of any man to seek
and obtain, or contract for, labor or

Will the Statesman pause over
its Tuning at the democrats long
enough to explain the meaning, the
intent, the motive of Its party plank?

Before the Spanish war, an in
crease of few million dollars of
annual appropriation would have
been sure to call for the bitter dis.
approval of the press and public,
now an increase of over one hundred

money power as bagatelIe and as

Before the Spanish American war,
a standing army of 25, 900 men was
deemed adequate, now the PROPOSE
ton to increase the army to 200, 900

pire as legitimate consort of the
