BRYAN's WAY.

On June 5th the democrats of
Idaho will select 'elegates to the
Kansas City convention. The first
judicial district, comprising Koote-
mai and Shoshone counties, is en-
titled to one delegate. AS all SIM
liar honors have been thrust upon
Shoshone county men in the past,
Kootenai county Is entitled to rec
ognition at this convention. Eleven
states have now instructed their
delegates to the national demo-
cratic convention for Bryan-the
tide is all running this way now,
and the proper thing for this state
to do is to follow the example of
these eleven and send delegates
instructed for him to Kansas City.
The delegates simply voice the
will of the people, and the will of
the people is SO Enthusiastically for
Bryan that the country may see
and Bryan feel that the irresistible
power of the people is behind him.
Like the populist convention at
Siou Falls his nomination should
be by reclamation. There should
be no other name presented in the
national convention. He is from
the people, Of the people and for
the people. The people have
faith in him and he has faith in
them. He said: 81 would rather
be nominated by the people who
elect delegates than to be merely
the nominee of a convention. 1t
is great honor to be chosen by a
convention, but a still greater
honor to be chosen by the people,
who are the source of authority
in government like this" That
is the talk of a patricia senti-
ment that the politician only can
not feel. And the people know
that Bryan feels this sentiment
that he utters so expressively.
Kootenai county has many able
men who would appreciate the
honor of representing our young
state at that convention.

WHAT OTHERS SAT- OF %.

The harmonious meeting of the
democratic, silver republican and
populist central committees here
last week is having an influence
all over the state. This is what
some of the leading papers of the
state say CT u.s..
"Praise be unto the silver forces of
Kootenai county. They have agreed
upon q unioS Of the three parties 10
the county campaign. In conven-
ton at Rathdrumr May D., with the
largest representation ever known in
the county,, and without a word OF
dissension, they named a place and
date for the nominating convention
and, agreed upon harmonious union
which assures certain victory 10

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

Many of the citizens of our
county were pleased to learn that
the free homestead bill had passed
the house Of representatives. 1t
ought to pass the senate without
objection.
The object Of the bill is to re-
lieve those settlers on Indian res
ervations from paying for their
land and putting them on par with
the other homestead settlers who
got their land free. In our county
all homesteaders who complied
with the law secured free home-
steads, except those on the Occur
d'Alene Indian reservation. The
theory of the bill is that these set
tiers ought to be put on the same
basis with the settlers who got
their lands under the provisions of
the homestead law. The bill ap-
plies to all Indian reservations,
but as large area Of the Occur
d'Alene reservation lies within the
confines Of Kootenai, the bill is of
unusual interest to many of our
citizens. When this reservation
was thrown open to settlers in 1891,
it was to be disposed of at the
rate OF $3.50 per acre. Under
this act settler would be COM
PEELED to pay S24o for a claim of
100 acres, whereas the fees under
the homestead act amounted to
but $22.oo. Naturally the free
homestead bill was not political
measure. All national parties en-
dorsed it in the planks Of their
platforms in 1896. Congressman
Wilson of Idaho made a gallant
fght ior the bill, and we trust
Heitfeldt and Shoup will be
equally as industrious in its behalf
when it reaches the senate.
