Hon. John G.. Brown, OF Blackfoot,
represented Idaho at the National
Democratic Committee meeting in
Washington, February I'D. Mr.. Brown
informs The NEWS that the enthusi-
asm among the members was wonder
full and that 1t seemed to be founded on
strong convictions that the party will
be successful this year.
The full committee was present and
each member had encouraging news to
report from his home. It was notice
able to the chairman and to the old
members that such hopeful feeling
had not been shown in committee
since 1884 when every body felt that the
Republican tide was running down and
Democratic success was in the air.
There are macy reasons for this happy
turn In the party's affairs and they will
be given TO the public from time TO
time as the campaign advances. In the
east the change of sentiment since 1896
is wonderful. Mr.. Mckinley is being
censured for many things and MIR.
Bryan is being praised. How times dc
change and men change with them.

BLAcxFooT. IDAHO. MARCH IL, 1900,
Committee Meetings.

Boise C,y will be the scene OF an iu,-
portant political event next week. II
will attest an agreement OF Democrats,
Silver Republicans and Populists for u
union Of their working forces for the
approaching campaign. 1t will witness
the unfurling Of union banner with
che motto: sin union there is victory
az we'll as strength, and it viii look
upon the frst triple alliance of political
parties in the state.
In 1896 there was union OF two par
ties-Democrats an Populists, and this
union carried the state by pluralities
ranging from 5000 to 5000. In 1898
there was q like union OF Democrats
and Silver Republicans and the plural
titles that year were from 1850 to $500,
and nos in 1900 the three parties will
come together in triple alliance and the
pluralities to be made up from the No
yember election must be largely in
creased over those Of any one of the
former years.
1t is claimed by Gold Republicans
that heavy disintegration has taken
place in the ranks of the Populist party
and that large per cent OF Silver Re-
publicAns have returned to their first
Love. and, if this could be admitted,
still there will be enough OF the two
parties combined to equal the vote OF
one or the other of them Us east in 1896
or in 1898, ana the pluraiities of those
Years made victory easy and satisfactory.
II the Populists have lost as claimed it
is barely possible the Democrats are as
much the gamers as the Republicans.
At any rate it is plain enough that the
Gold Republicans have not gained
enough from the Populists and Silver
Republicans to enable them to snatch
victory from triple alliance of Demo
Gratis and the remnants OF those parties,
if it be proper for Republicans to style
these organizations as remnants A
harmonious alliance means victory, il
matters not what arithmetic may be
used ia the additions aud calculation:
against it.
The coming together Of the three
committees in Boise City next Thurs
day means an alliance and an alliaucs
means victory. When this is agreed
upon the conventions will do the othel
needful things. a simple resolution
setting forth the terms of the union
and plain address to the voters of tn,
state should complete the work. Tn,
closer the parties in the state follow
the National parties in platform, poll
cies, etc, the better will be the work
and after the national parties hav
spoken then we can adjust ourselves {
their plans and move on to certai
victory in the state.

DemOralizing Delay.

The reports which come from Puerto
Rico through official channels of the
restitution and starvation there cast a
smirch on the United States. Before
that island became a part OF the United
States it was the happiest colony Of
Spain. So far from being in restitution
itself it sent tribute to Spain for the
support of the home government
The big storm that swept the island
undoubtedly was in a measure RESPONSE
BILE for the present deplorable condi-
tons, but these conditions We're aggri-
waited BY the attitude of the United

the island in considerable quantity.
but what the island needed most was
neglected.
The ultimate government is still in as
uniformed a condition as it was when
the islanders first accepted the juris.
diction of the United States. They dc
not know what to expect or how To
frame their conduct. Hope deferred
has made their hearts sick.

To Page Norris The GAZETTE
states that while you may be right
and the people may be wrong on
the Porto Rican tariff question, it is
deucedly bad politics to tell the
people that II know it all, and
that they don't know anything
about the Porto Rican question.
The American people are pretty
good readers. They have profound
respect for promise or a pledge.
and when they read of one having
been made in their name they pro-
pose that it shall be carried out if it
requires a little political revolution
to do it. We predict that Sixth dis
trict people will revolutionize Mr..
Morris at the primaries to be held
in June.

Hans has tendency to dictate the

Renville county. and has himself
been an uncertain political quantity
it is just barely possible that Han S

CUSHMAN KELLOGG DAVIS.

New York Sun: The watchman-
in-chief of American interests at
this time is at the head of the senate
committee on foreign relations.
Senator Davis has correctly utter
preted the sentiment and fixed pur-
pose of the nation. The primary
condition of American ownership is
the control of the canal in our own
interests and against our enemies
interest when we are at war. Mr..
Davis made it practically certain
that no treaty surrendering that in
indispensable right can be ratified.
And with that indispensable right
asserted, no inconsistent provision
is likely to remain in any treaty that
passes the senate.
In interposing this check to a
project of almost inconceivable
fatuity, the chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations has been
compelled to exhibit one fact which
must make the cheeks of Americans
tingle. He has shown that secre-
tary of state of the United States,
while protesting to fashion his
scheme of naturalization after the
Suez pattern. has actually consented
to an agreement with England
which withholds from his own gov
ernment the rights of self-defense at
the canal. which this same Suez con-
vention expressly reserved for Tur-
key as the suzerain of Egypt, and,
consequently. under present condi-
tions, reserves for England herself
1t is one of the glories of our
American system that when the
man for the occasion is lacking at
his proper post, the man for the
occasion promptly arises and asserts
himself at some other post of duty.
Thus in the present diplomatic
emergency the Americanism of
Everts, Blaine and Frelinghuysen
descends not to their nominal sue
cessor, John Hay, the secretary of
state, but to Cushman K. Davis, the
senator
Honor to him, the patriotic and
the faithful, and to the American
senator's who stand by him!
