Last week over in Blaine coun-

ty, according to reports, few of
the Silver Republicans returned
to the g. o. p. indorsing Mark
Hanna, but still adhere to the
16 to 1 idea, they claim, but are
willing to support a party that
openly declares for the single
gold standard. They are what
might be termed "bye-metal-
lists" Consistency; thou art a
jewel The fatted calf was kill
ed, and they fell on one anothers
necks and wept bitterly, for they
had been feeding on husks and
were extremely hungry. Such
is the story of the Prodigal Sons
in HALEY. A few Pops. were
at the great feast.

Governor Goebel of Kentucky,
who was assassinated recently is

way. He was not the kind of 6
man that the money power want

Governor Steunenberg has at
last openly announced himself as
a candidate for for u. S. Senator
from Idaho, to succeed Senator
Shoup. 1t does not look like a
wise move on the part of the
Democratic party to indorse the
Governor for any political posi-
tion, for he is in bad favor with
all classes of laboring men, es-
pecially organized labor. The
part that he took in the CWur d.
Alene affair, of late, against the
Miners Union and labor, and the
infamous permit system" has
killed him politically. The un-
ions to a man, and more especial
ly the Miners Union, has 'it in"
for Steunenberg, and they will
repay the grudge if he ever bobs
up for Office again. With Steun-
enberg up for this position, Sen
ator Shoup's chances for re-elec-
ton would be good. We believe
Hon. Fred. T. Dubois should be
the one put forth in Idaho for
United States Senator by the
silver forces, regardless of polit-
ical parties.

If the old favorite ballad

OF Dn0 Oiu IhVOribe DdlIdu
The sun shines bright on my old
Kentucky home,
The rye is ripe and the Bourbon
is in bloom,
And the shotgun makes music

The stone jug rises to kiss the
waiting mouth,
And the upturned eyes gladly
and fondly play
On the soft blue skies of the
sunny, sunny South,
In my old Kentucky home far
away.

The Boise Statesman of Feb.

"The Boise chamber of COM
merce and the city council last
night sent assurances to t. W.
Bates, promoter of the Idaho
Midland railroad, who is now in
Boston, that Boise would give
the road free right-of-way in and
through the city and to the Boise
river canon. The right'of- way
through the city was promised
by the council and the other by
the chamber of commerce.
"Mr. Bates yesterday sent a
message to o. E. Jackson, his
attorney here, asking him to lay
the matter before the two bodies
and secure definite answer IRON
each. His message strongly In
dicated that he was meeting
with success in the east, and he
was insisteut that these details
be arranged at once.
"a special meeting of the
chamber of commerce was held
last night to hear Mr.. Jackson
He laid the matter before the oil
