A FLIMSY PLATFORM PLANK.

With labor strikes all over the coun-
try, thousands of men in all branches
of labor idle, and men right here in
Delaware asking in vain for an in
crease of $1.10 per day, while the prices
of all the necessaries of life range even
above high water mark, the Republi-
can managers exhibit considerable
nerve in starting their campaign ON the
prosperity string.
The United States Investor, journal
published in the interests of financial
institutions, and radically Republican
in politics, in a recent issue editorially
remarks. Grave labor troubles are
to be apprehended in the next few
months. The masses cannot be said

prosperity which has overtaken the
country in the last two years. In the

wages has not begun to equal the ad-
vance in the cost of living. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose, therefore, that
labor will insist upon more equal
distribution of the product which ii
turns out"
Here is an admission from a high
Republican source of the truth of the
claim made by the Democratic party
during the past three years. The Dem
ocratic claim has been that the vaunted
prosperity has not been shared by the
wage-earner and the producer. Butt
this claim has always been met by the
cry of calamity howler." Here, how
ever, we have the strongest sort OF
Republican endorsement for our claim

SIMPLY REPUBLICAN VISIONS

One of the most encouraging features
of the campaign of 1900, from a Demo-
cratic view, is the turmoil that has
been stirred up in the ranks of the
enemy by the meeting of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee on
Tuesday. True, this committee did
nothing except simply to choose dates
for the State Conventions to be held
by the party, but in the eyes of the
Republicans of Delaware it was a
movement of their old enemy towards
organization, and a preliminary step
towards active work. And hence. slight
as it WAS, the movement could not be
allowed to pass unnoticed. Ever since
Tuesday, therefore, the Maxims of
their organs have been belching forth
wrath
AS though inspired by one mind the
organs of both the Republican factions
have been assiduously at work endeav-
oring to discover evidences of strife
in the ranks of Democracy, that does
not exist, and failing in this they have
turned their attention to prophecy and
their effusions during the past few
days have been decidedly of a tele.
scopic character. Plain as the noonday
sun they profess to perceive a coming
struggle between what they are pleased
to term the gold and silver forces of
Democracy. In their estimation the
Democratic PARTY Of Delaware is to be
torn into shreds over these subjects.
and in their dreams they see pha-
lanxes glittering in white or yellow
metal arrayed against each other in
deadly combat, each doing battle under
the banner of Democracy.
In their dreams do these pictures
surely arise. for tits but dream and

effort to foment discord will be allowed
to swerve the Democratic voter from
the path of duty which will lead to tht
attainment of this end. Our Republi,
can friends are welcome to the pleasure
they derive from their self-conjured
visions of Democratic discord, but they
can rest assured that in this campaign
of 1900, with issues at stake that con

the admirable manner in which the
republican administration has con-

MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
We affirm the principles
enunciated in the national repub-
lican platforms adopted at Phila-
delphia on June 20, 1900, and
firmly pledge our support to the
same. We unquali6edly endorse
the administration Of President
William Mckinley and commend
TIE wise and patriotic manner in
which he has discharge evry duty
and preserved the principles dear 70
American people. We especially
endorse the prompt and patriotic
manner in which President Nc
Kinley has ordered the navy and
army Of the nation to proceed to
Chinese waters and to land the
marines and army on Chinese soil,
and directed the army to proceed
to Peking TO relieve or beleagured
representatives and American
citizens within the walls of that
city,
We enthusiastically endorse the
denomination of President William
Mckinley and the nomination for
vice president of Governor Theodore
Roosevelt, and firmly pledge our

bearers.

Fusion Organs Trying to Evade the
Serious Charges.
In the early part of this cam
paign the HERALD and the Koot-
enai County Republican made gem
eral charges of Incompetence. Ex-
ira vsgance and General Misman-
aeement against the Fusion county
administration. The Fusion organs
came back and demanded that we
give specifications, and specifica-
tons were furnished to the extent
of many columns, particularly by
the Kootenai County Republican.
and yet not one of these charges
has been met by the Fusionists.
They have either ignored them,
tried to joke them off, or replied
by an attack on Ex-Auditor Bragaw.
Such a defense may lull Fusion
list office seekers into sense of Sc
curity, but it will not go with the
general taxpayer.
And right here let us say that if
Mr.. Bragaw is guilty Of not turning
over any records rightfully belong
ing to the county, or if be has re-
tanned any funds belonging to the
county, the laws of Idaho are ample
for a redress, and the Incompetence
of the Fusionists is again illustra-
ted, because thev have all the court
and administrative machinery in
their hands-the judge, the prosecu

HE gal Registration.

Anyone who will axe the trouble
to look over the books of the Regis
trar of this precinct will find many
names thereon of persons who have
not resided in the state six months.
Is there a premeditated purpose to
practice fraud at the election? We
caution all Republicans to he on
their guard in all precincts When
a man takes an oath that he has
resided IN Idaho six months prior
to election, as he must do to regis
ter, he is treading on dangerous
ground, and may find himself in
court on charge of perjury, for
the Republicans of Kootenai will
not stand such ork.
In this connection we urge all
republicans to register at once, and
see that their republican friends
register. The registrars office is in
the Fusion headquarters-but don't
let that keep you from getting your
name on the voters roll, not the
democratic club list.

misunderstanding, so why do
they not proceed? Mr.. Bragaw is
in the county and his official
bondsmen are here, good for any
legal claim that may be made
against them.
The Fusionists are in this diem
ma-and they are welcome to either
horn-their abuse of Mr.. Bra grw is
either campaign mud, or else they
are incompetent to guard the coun-
ty's interests, and in either event
are not fit to manage county gov
eminent,
But it is the Fusiorists that are
now on trial before the voters of
this county. Have they so con-
Quoted affairs as to entitle them to
future confidence? We say en-
phatically No. Let us see:
They have heeced the taxpayers
by paying fat salaries. in the face
of law passed at the last legisla-
ture intended to give the taxpayers
relief. The office of probate Judge,
now filled by the official head of
the Fusionists, pays salary of
$500 per annnm, where formerly
it paid less than half that amount.
And this $500, too, in the face of
the fact that this Office last year
did only $1S0.75 worth of probate
business. Taxpayers, don't you
think it time to turn these Reform
ers (?) out?
The Fusion board of county com
missioners in 1899 cost the taxpay-
ers $3227.60, for salary and expens-
es, as against $1535.20 for the year
1895, the last republican board
more than doubled
The Fusion administration has
so raised the valuation of taxable
property, so that last year, with 8
lower rate, they made the taxpay-
ers dig up the enormous sum Of
1921, SS1.27 for revenue. as against
$S6,910.16, in 1896, under republi
