can laborer be forced either to lose.
his job or work for European
wages.
We now come to the question of
our new possessions. The whole
thing resolves itself ultimately as
to whether we shall retain the Phil
ippines and Porto Rico or not. 1t
is the old question put by the boy
on the arrival of d new sister:
"Had we better keep her or had
she better stay or had we better
send poor little sis away?'
The man is unwise who attempts
to defend, explain or eculpate all
the acts of a nation in time of war.
Mistakes will be made, stupidity
will be shown, crimes will be COM
mitted. Under the strain of added
responsibilities or unusual temp
tatlons some part of the govern
mental machine is sure to break.
1t has been the history of every
war and he who attempts a general
defense of all the occurrences of a
great war is to say the least, un-
wise. The policy of the repub-
lican party is to repair these un-
avoidable errors, bring the islands
to a state of peace and order, es-
tablish a good civil government
and then act as circumstances shall
warrant, giving the people all the
liberty and self-government they
show themselves qualified to re-
tain. The democratic policy is
hardly so we'll defined, it consists
of making the most of all the
plumbers and mistakes made by
minor officials. 1t questions the
right Of the United States to main
tain possession of the islands coded
to it by Spain and says you must
not hold the islands without the
manifest consent of the natives,
and even then if you hold them,
you must admit them to equal
rights of citizenship with the peo-
pie OF Iowa or any other state.
This is the problem reduced to its
lowest terms. On which side Of
this issue do you find yourself?
The next and last problem is
that of the trusts. Both parties
are full of promise and neither has
lived up to the full measure of its
possibilities when it had the
chance. This is one of the issues
on which one must rely upon some
thing outside Of platforms. The
republican party passed the only
antitrust laws on our statute
books. The democrats were in
power but did nothing. The re-
publicans, acting upon the best
legal opinion of the country that
congress had moi sufficient power
under the constitution to regulate
corporations, sought to have a
constitutional amendment passed
giving Congress the needed power,
and every democrat but five voted
against the resolution. The issue
between the two parties is not then,
trust or antitrust, but which has
made the more honest effort.
Now be honest, you owe it to
your country, but still more do
you owe it to yourself, to be
honest. Do not say 81 am a dem
ocrat ana then argue from that
basis. 1t is poor logic. 1t is
stating your conclusion first. Con-
slider the issues carefully, sum
them up, decide with which party
you have the more beliefs in COM
mon and then, and not until then,
will you be competent to tell to
which you belong. Even then you
may not acknowledge it, you may
vote the other way, but neverthe-
less it will be the party to which
you belong.

Antl-Irusts Anti-Trusts
We have placed the issues in the
order of what we believe to be
their relative Importance; you MAJ
differ with us as to this.
The question of primal impor.
lance, the question underlying SO
many of the other points at issue
is that Of States Rights vs.. Ma
tionalism. By this we do not
mean the bloody shirt nor do we
refer to the doctrine of Secession,
although we believe that dogma is
Still up held by a majority of the
democratic party. We refer for
instance to the recent proposed
constitutional amendment, which
was opposed by the democrats be-
cause it was stated that it took
some power from the states and
placed it with the National govern
ment. We refer to the act OF
many of the Southern states in re
fusing the right of franchise to a
majority Of their people; we refer
to the policy that a state may do
pretty much as it pleases and that
the national government has no
power to interfere even though the
moral, political or commercial
rights of another state be affected
thereby. This is the policy OF
states rights as upheld by the
democratic party. The republican
party is for a strong, national gov
eminent, in which the deciding
factor is the will of the majority,
not the will of the states. 1t be-
lleves,. and practices, that every
citizen of the states should have
equal rights and opportunity to
vote and to have his vote counted.
1t believes that in any matter in
which more than one state is inter
ested the United States should
have supreme authority. As an
instance of this lack of power oil
which the republican party com.
plains let us cite the Malta troubles
in New Orleans about ten years
ago. At that time a number Of
citizens of Italy were lynched. The
question of their guilt did not enter
the discussion, which was insti.
tuted by the Italian government.
That government contended that
its citizens had been deprived Of
life and liberty, without due pro-
cess of law, by citizens of the
United States and on United States
soil, and demanded that the guilty
ones be punished and an indemnity
be paid. The United States was
forced to the humiliating explana-
ton that it could not enfore Justice
in the state Of Louisiana and the
Italian government was athletic
make this disdainful retort, s"Ah,
we see we have been mistaken, we
should have received an ambas-
sador from Louisiana not from the
United States" In the matters OF
suffrage, of trust control, of mar
riage and divorce and many other
things the republican party be-
lieves in uniform, national legis-
lation, while the majority of the
democratic party believes that the
states should be supreme in these
matters.
On which side of this issue dc
you find yourself?
The next issue is that of money.
With a commercial nation the
question of currency is of prime
importance. We are willing to
admit that many were sincere in
their advocacy of free silver four
years ago but it seems that the

The Smith Embszziemsnt Case.

The case Of Attorney j. Ed Smith
charged with embezzlement was
brought TO trial In Judge Molden's
court Tuesday afternoon and resulted
in acquittal.
DIR. l.. T. Mitchell was the complain
Ing witness. He alleged in his COM
plaint that Smith had collected moneys
on accounts placed in his hands for col
lection and had failed 10 turn over the
same TO him as directed.
Attorney Smith was represented by
Messrs Linger and Briggs, OF Idaho
Falls and Phil. Averitt, OF st. Anthony,
aud the prosecution was conducted by
Attorney Worth Clark in the absence
OF the county attorney. A good jury
WAS impanelled and after the intro
duction OF all testimony and arguments
by counsel the case was submitted and
the jury returned verdict OF "not
guilty.
This was one OF those regre;able cases
which often find their way into court. II
were better for all concerned and for
the community in which the differences
had their origin II the matter could
have been settled between Mitchell and
Smith, client and attorney, without the
publicity 1t attained by trial in open
court.

Fire destroyed the barn, corral and

on the Hopkins place, near the asylum,
Monday afternoon. But for timely as
sistance his residence would have burn

The property destroyed Is total loss
as Mr.. Machold carried no insurance.

The pastor OF the NJ. z. Church says
the pounding given him Wednesday
evening WAS the first given him since
his boyhood days. He remembers, how
ever, that the two were different. In
his boyhood days the pounding made
him open his mouth to yell: from We'd
nesday's pounding he will open his
mouth to feast.
One of the coming events which casts
its shadow before is the possible re-
moyal of DIR. Walter Patrie, physician

ised TO DIR. Springer when he left for
the Philippines should he live to re-
turn, and 1t now seems that the promise
will be made good in the near future.

Each day the prospects for the early
commencement and completion OF the
Idaho Midland railroad through Custer
county grows brighter. The promoters
are going at the project In way that
means business. We have heard OF
proposed railroads being built through
Custer county for the past lifteen years,
but none OF them materialized, but
from good authority we actually believe
that the Midland will be built and that
soon. The money for the building OF
,hia road has been secured. the survey
started. and Mr.. Bates, the president,
has authorized that he WAS meeting
with the greatest success In his Idaho
Midland project, and that he expected
to commence throwing dirt on the Boise
end of the line by February LIST next.

BRITISH SHIPPING.
Review of the Industry for the Year
1899.

Reviewing the shipbuldlng industry
of 1899, the Glasgow Herald estimates
the shipping output for the year at L.,
713, 900 tons as compared with 1861, 900
tons in 1898, in which year the amount
of tonnage launched exceeded all pre-
vious records. The output on the Tyne,
Thames and Humber this year has fall
len somewhat short of that OF 1898; but
all other districts show an increase, and
as usual, the Clyde heads the list with
an output of 491, OLA tons, or more than
One-fOurth of the entire production of
the year. With regard to the years
work, two special features are noted.
One is the almost entire eXtinguish-
ment, so far as new building in this
country is concerned, of the sailing YES
sells. Not a single ton of the old sail
ing class of ships" we are told, has
been constructed this year by any of
the Clyde yards" And the other feat
ure has been the enormous size of the
steamers that have been built during
the year, not here alone, but in other
countries, as to which the Glasgow
Herald writes: IAN admirable example
of the new leViathans, the SaXonia, was
launched from Clydesbank on Satur-
day. This latest addition to the Cunard
fleet possesses a gross tonnage of 1890
and is expected to be able to carry no
less than 10000 tons of cargo. Another
steamer of an almost equal size, the
Ivernia, was launched earlier in 1899 for
the same company, while the White
Star line and various lines in Germany
and the United States have also had
equally mammoth ships built for them
The full meaning of the late develop
ment in size of steamers has not yet,
perhaps, been properly grasped, but no
doubt it is partly due to the fact that
while the larger vessels will carry a
great deal more than those of smaller
dimensions, the working cost will only
be slightly increased"
