DEMOCRATIC EXPANSION.

Aye, and it has always been the
party of expansion, but it has never
gone acress the seas with conquering
armies to subject an alien people
Its expansion has been upon its own
soil, territory that could be cut up
INTO states of the union and whose
people should be homogeneous, and
who should have voice in the gen
eral government. The $40, 900, 900

have taken great rivers and carried
them out over the mesas and brought

smile up at God and heaven, instead
of bringing forth bloody rivers in

gallo hearts and homes. 1t would
have made homes for more American
people in the west than will ever set

SOME DILEMMAS.

''Our democratic friends are in an
embarrassing dilemma. They have re-
pudiated their state administration. ~
shouts the Statesman in an attempt
to manufacture something upon
which to assail the silver men of the
state. Even if the charge were true,
which it is not, the position would
not be as embarrassing as is that of
the Statesman trying to condemn the
democrats for an alleged position
which it claims does not endorse the
permit system, while its own party
inserts in its platform this plank to
toady to the dynamiters:
No man shall be deprived Of life, lib.
erty or property without due process oil
law; nor shall the right of any man to
seek and obtain, or contract for, labor OF
employment in accordance with law be in
anywise curtailed or interfered with.

cratic doctrine but why do not Idaho

the same principle to the Philippines,

There is wide difference be-
tween the republican platform of
1856 and the putocratic, imperialis-
tic manifesto of 1900. The former
denounced those twin relics of bar

latter commends the acquisition of
the Philippines and the treaty with

which permits continuance of
these traditions of Oriental barbar-
ism and pays the salary of the SER
aglio manager in the house of the

practices arc permitted under the

woeful condition continue.

LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.

Never in the history of Welser
were the prospects so good for the
building up of the city from a pop
ulation of few hundred to place
of good size and commercial import
auce. Every body seems to have
awakened to the necessity of harmon
ions and combined effort and have
put their shoulders to the wheel of
progress and are pushing with vim
and determination to accomplish the
desired object.
The Board of Trade is deserving
of much credit for having marshalled
the forces and the organization of
systematic action on all matters of
public interest, and it may ever be re-
lied upon to carry through and secure
those Improvements so much needed
Today we are on the threshold of
prosperity not only for this town
but the entire county and the rela-
ton that Weiser bears to the terri
tory surrounding must bring good
returns to the citizens of our town
for any and all things they do Of a
public benefit With water works,
electric lights, fire protection, and
sewerage, Weiser will grow.
With the irrigation district organic
ed and ownership secured of
the water to irrigate the valley
adjacent to the town. 1t will be an
easy matter to settle all this land
with family on each 40 acres.
With a bridge across Snake river
we will get much of the trade from
the Oregon side and every thing
tends to centralize the wealth thus
secured at Weiser, for this will be
the banking center for tue vast dis
trict.
Let the good work go on. Do
not be weary in well doing, for little
is accomplished by spasmodic action.
Keep constantly at it and few
months will see Weiser the leading
city of Idaho.

A BLIND POLICY.

The word is received that the truce
between the 0. R. & N. and North
ern Pacific railway will expire on the
18th of this month and will not be
renewed. This undoubtedly means
the active construction of the several
lines of railway in Idaho and Nez
Perez counties, upon which work
was suspended last fall The line
headed toward Grangeville will prob
ably be pushed first, and lis compile
ton to the Idaho county metropolis
will create stronger demand for the
opening of the Little Salmon River
wagon road. Any person with ordi-
nary observation can see that the
interests Of this county and of Idaho
county are identical, and progress
for one means a corresponding ratio
of advancement for the other. At
this end of the line the present para
lyzed condition is inexplicable. The
financial condition of the p. & |. N.
road is such as to warrant the belief
that no difficulty should be exper-
fenced in securing the small amount
needed to push the road on to a
point that would make it a paying
proposition. Grading between Cam
bridge and Council is practically
completed, and the contractors are
camped on the line ready to com
mence work when ordered. By
reason of this present delay the
financial condition of the road is
badly damaged and the general adj
vancement of the county held in
allegiance.
The lumber needed for the up
building of new towns, such as
Cambridge, and others Immediately
on the line, as well as the vast
amount used in Weiser this year, has
been drawn from points on the lines
of other roads. Without discussion.
it is safe to say that enough or more
money has been taken from this
county TO have put the p. & l. N. in
full operation as far Council, at
least, and in good form as a dividend
Garner for its stockholders and a
money saver for this county, and
an energetic management might pos
sibly, in some degree, retrieve past
mistakes and bring this splendid
railway property up to the status
where it really belongs. The Signal
is of the opinion that the movement
necessary to these desirable results
will not be much longer delayed.
The money sent to Oregon for all the
lumber used in Weiser building
should have gone to Washington

The cry for free silver like that against

We have it from Mr., Bryan's chief organ
that it is not an issue, that with Mr..

silver. But there would be something
else, for the platform distinctly promises
it. That would be the issue of irredeem-

not an issue? We beg to quote you
the following extract from Mr..
McKinley's recent speech of accept
ance:
Unfortunately the threat of 1896 has
just been renewed by the allied parties
without abatement or modification. The
