TWO KINDS OF SOLDIERS.

An eastern paper recently print
ed cartoon showing Mr.. Bryan as
the maH at home and Lieutenant
Robinson as the man at the front,
and asks the question, who tells
the truth. Underneath the picture
are the following extracts:
"The Republican party today is
responsible for every drop of blood
drawn from an American soldier in
the Philippine islands, or drawn by
an American soldier. There never
was any occasion for war in the
Philippine islands. There never
would have been war in the Phil
ippine islands if the Republican
party had dealt with the Filipinos
according to American principles.
William J. Bryan in his night
speech at Indianapolis August 8th.
In regard to the Philippines,
many a poor boy with gun on his
shoulder owes his death to the
clamoring politicians at home. If
they would only close their mouths
for little while we would soon: put
a quietus to this Philippine army.
x x x It is too bad that we are
made to suffer at the hands of our
own fe1low-citizens in the States"
Lieut.. Oliver P. Robinson, For
tieth United States Volunteers, a
Democrat, to relative in Carbon
dale, 1ll.--Chicago zameS-Herald.
In addition to the foregoing, we
add General Lawton's last words,
as follows:
'If am shot by a Filipino bull
let it might as we'll come from one
of my own men, because I know
that the continuance of fighting
here is due to reports sent out from
America"

A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS,
John 7. Morrison is the Republican
Nominee in an Idaho District.

Mr., John 7. Morrison, of Cald-
well, Idaho, is candidate for Con-
gress in his district on the Repub1i-
can ticket. Mr.. Morrison is ma
tive of Jefferson county, being a
son of Mr.. John Morrison, of Brock
wayville, and brother of Mr.. Ro-
bert F, Morrison, of Aliens Mills
and. those who have known him
since his boyhood days regard him
as thoroughly trustworthy in every
respect. He is honorable, energet-
1c, and reliable, and he would make
an able. conscientious and faithful
member of Congress. His many
treinds in this county feel that his
election would be a credit not only
to our county but Mr.. Morrison's
adopted State as we'll, and it is their
earnest hope that he may be sue
cessful at the coming election

the whole committee had the per-
NIT system in mind, and nothing
else. In fact a copy of the '.Appli-
cation Tor Permit and the permit
card were before the committee dur
ing the discussion and frequently
read. The purpose of the commit
tee was to declare the attitude Of
the Republican party toward labor
IN view of the fact that labor claim
ed that its rights had been invaded.
10 throw further light upon the
sentiment and purpose of the com
mlttee it may be said that the per
NIT syten1 was very exhaustively
discussed both from a legal and
moral point of view, and the best
that could be said for it was that it
was an extremity which under Ger
tain conceivable conditions might
be justifab1e, but which was found
ed On principles dangerous to the
rights and liberties of all classes of
labor. It seems to us that the fore
going will make plain that Mr..
Hepburn did not write the Repub-
lican platform, did not correctly or
authofitatively construe it, and
consciously or unconsciously used
language which seemed to imply
that he was speaking for the party
when he should have carefully set
forth that his Interpretation" of
the platform was merely an express
sion Of what in his heart, he wished
it to be. The committee did not
specifically condemn the permit
system because it perferred to af-
firmatively announce a general
principle. In conclusion, it may be
said that the general committee
clearly understood that the clause
in question was designed to have
a specific application. The Ian
guage was so clear as to be unmis-
takeab1e. The convention under
stood it, and the people of Idaho
cannot misunderstood it. The
fifth plank in the platform was
constructed by Mr.. Cozier; the
sixth, by Mr.. Dunn; the seventh
and eighth by Mr.. Hepburn.

LAST STRING BROKE.

During the last year, the snap
ping of strings which. bound the
Owyhee Avalanche to the Silver
Republican tradition has frequently
been heard from the tops of Florida
Mountain down to the valley of the
Snake. Last Friday, August II,
the last string broke, and the AVa-
lanche, freed from the bonds of a
political superstition, fluttered into
the light of day, proclaiming:
"Four years ago the Silver Re-
publican party had an excuse for
existence and was what its name
implied. Today the Silver Repub-
lican National platform does not
contain single Republican plank
and the party and its scattering
adherents are simply tail feathers
in the Democratic vane. Two
years ago, at the State election, the
Silver Republicans of Idaho adopt
ed stirring and patriotic resolutions,
voicing the policy Of Republican,
ism with the one exception of f.
nance. This year, at Pocatello,
the last representatives of a dead
organization, at the behest of two
or three men who had bargained to
deliver their party to Democracy
for value to be received, handed
over their passports, pocketed their
chagrin and the two nominations
which had been magnanimously
do1ed out by the Democrats, and
went home. In this county, for
mel Silver Republican stronghold
of the State, even the central COM
mitee refused longer to maintain a
farce in the name of just but dead
cause, and resigned. The same
conditions exist all over the State.
The Silver Republican party is
dead, and the AVaLancAe is not ruin
ming an obituary record for the de-
parted.
,"And the time was ripe for dis
solution. The silver issue of 1896
is not an issue in 1900, and there
will be no attempt on the part OF
the Democracy to make it an issue
in the coming election, barring per-
haps, a few Western States. Mr..
Bryan, the Democratic nominee for
president, does not allude to the
silver question in his voluminous
speech of acceptance. Nothing is
! left to the former Silver Republican

OF COURSE 1T DIDN'T.

A review of the past platforms of
the Democratic party will reveal
the fact that the party is short on
promises fulfilled and long on false
prophesies. 1t declared that the
war was a failure: it wasn't. It
declared that free trade would
bring prosperity: it didn't. It said
that the gold standard would cause
a panic; it didn't It promised to
reduce taxation; it didn't. 1t
promised to benefit the 1aboring
man; it didn't. Having failed in
all its promises, it now comes up
with a new stock declared to be
better than the old and asks for in
dorsement.-Owyhee Avalanche.

MORE SUBTERFUGE

1t is reported that Immediately
after the disorganization of the real
Silver Republican party in Owyhee
county, Lieutenant Governor Hut
Crimson proceeded to organize
spurious institution composed Of
Democrats masquerading as Silver
Republicans. One would think
that Dubois had worked that
scheme to death, and we are not
little astonished to see a man of
Hutchinson's apparent. ability re-
sorting to it. One would expect Of
him more candor and sGraightfor-'
wardness in politics. He would
stand much higher in public esteem
if he went over openly to the Dem
ocratic camp instead of sneaking in
by such a subterfuge. 1t would
seem though that plain dealing be-
comes impossible to one who has
become thoroughly saturated with
fusion. It is now asserted that 100
Silver Republicans participated in a
recent Silver Republican primary
at Silver City. There was really
no occasion for confning the num-
Der to 100. There are probably 125
Democrats there who would not
object to being counted. This re-
minds us Of the Idaho Falls meet
ing last Spring. The Silver Re
publicans all escaped in fact, but
Democrat went right On with the
business under the name of Silver
Republicans. Such tricks have
ceased to be respectable even as
novel inventions.

GOVERNOR ON THE STUMP.
The Boise Capital says:

"Governor Frank Steunenberg
has rendered his services to the
chairman Of the Democratic State
committee and will be found on the
stump this fall, standing squarely
upon the Pocate1lo platform, and
working for the success of Bryan
and the State. ticket. For the CAP
ifaI to reply to the covert insinua-
tons of gold organs in this State
that Governor Steunenberg would
sulS in his tent or indirectly aid in
turning this State over for Hanna
its to exploit a la Mcconnell would
be a reflection on his good political
sense as we'll as on his honor as
man. The Salt Lake Tribune'S ap-
peal to Governor Steunenberg's
friends to support the gold ticket to
revenge himself for real or fancied
political grievances of that gentle
man meets with no sympathy from
Idaho's chief executive. Nor do
his friends take any stock in it.
Hannaism stands confronted by the
united silver forces of Idaho and
their yellow pennon will go down
again in defeat" "
We are delighted to hear that the
governor wants to take the stump,
but will they let him? Will Fred
Dubois feel quite secure as long
as the governor talks? Will it
have a tendency TO conciliate the
miners of Shoshone county? We
trust though that considerations OF
this kind will not in the least inf1u-
ence the respectable element in
the Democratic party of which we
have lately heard so much. The
governor will start out in the cam
paign abundantly equipped with
first class material. He might topen
with a lurid ..ccou~" # conditions
at the Soldiers Home. The am
ours of his appointee in that insti-
tuition will be as interesting as a
chapter from Tolstoi's Kreutzer
Sonata. Then he can explain why
he wanted to disband the Shoshone
county State militia company. He
can explain to Representative Bates
vbv Arbuck1e was made game
warden. He can tell the people
about the lucky investments which

can fold Or go to the Democratic
party. We choose the former
course. N
The AvalancAe expects to pur-
Sue an aggressive but clean cam
paign in the interest of the Repub-
lican party, from A to z and from
constable to President. Those who
have known us during the more
than ten years in which we have
been connected with this paper,
know that it is not our disposition
to indulge in personalities or to
stoop to disreputable billingsgate in
political or other matters. During
the heat of the campaign, when
friendship cools, brothers anger and
father and son are estranged, we
shall keep in mind that we have
lived before. and shall live after
wards-that election time is not all
time-and trust that all who may
disagree with us will give credit for
sincerity of purpose and honest eff
fort to further the interests of Re-
publican policy-a policy which
represents to Our mind the best in
terests of the whole people"

CANDOR.

If julie Bassett is correctly report
ed he ought to come nearer of cleo
ton than any other candidate on
the fusion ticket. Some one has
said that an honest man is the no.
b1est work of God, which is as
nearly true as any generalization,
perhaps. julie is probably not the
noblest work Of God or man either,
but there is a vein of honest candor
in him that raises him preceptib1y
above the level of his colleagues on
the fusion ticket. He says, the
customers Concede that the Repub-
hcans have appropriated all the
principles at issue, SO there is moth
ing for ihe fusioners to do but go
in for the offices, and he piously
hopes that the people will devide
on the same lines, giving to the
Republicans the maintenance of
principles and to customers the
holding of the offices.

RIGHT INTERPRETATION.

This is the way the Harrison En-
sign "interprets" the Republican
platform:
"The platform of the Republican
party of the State of Idaho sets
forth in plain English the views of
a true republican form of govern
ment. 1t fully covers the issues of
the State as we'll as the Nation, and
every voter in the State can see at
a glance the true meaning it is in
tended to and does convey to the
people. 1t is for the people and
the wh Die people. 1t makes no
distinctions, it simply guarantees
the protection of life and property,
and the right of man to not only
seek but obtain employment-a
privilege that every Republican
recognizes as the birthright of ev-
cry American citizen. 1t means
just what it says, and there will be
enough voters who know what it
says to present SO solid a front at
the ballot box next November that
the Democrats will retreat in such
disorder that they will not be able
TO muster corporaps guard after
the election.

enabled him to launch forth in the
sheep business so extensively. He
can tell US why he has concluded
to work for the election Of Bassett
and Dubois instead of following his
first righteous impulse to get him a
reliable yogger and let a food of
daylight through them, Steunen7
berg will unquestionably be a
drawing card, and we hope his de-
sire to go forth and declai1n will be
satisfied. 81 - - -

HISTORY OF THE PLATFORM.

1t seems to us that the time has
arrived when a matter touching the
attitude of the Republican party on
a subject recently much discussed
should be fully, fairly, and finally
settled. 1t is Our purpose at this
time to submit facts which no man
in this State or elsewhere can sue
cessfullY contradict, and which no
man in position to know, dares
deny. In consequence Of an inter
view published over the signature
Of, and by express authority of, W.
B. Hepburn, it is charged that the
Republican party has deliberately
put forth a dishonest and equivocal
platform declaration. The charge
is laid against the Republican party
on the assumption, first, that Mr..
Hepburn is the mouthpiece of the
Republican party; second, that he
wrote the platform; third, that the
construction placed upon it by him
IS authoritative; and forth, that his
construction is not in accord with
the language of the platform or the
common acceptation of its applica-
ton.
IN order the better to understand
The Republican platform, it may be
well to review its history. 1t was
constructed by a subcommittee,
consisting of five members, as fol-
lows; Cozier of Latah, Dunn of
onoshone, DIETRICH of Bannock,
Nhalmers Of Bingham and Davis Of
canyon. W. B. Hepburn, as a
~stterotcourtisey, not appointment
was invited to preside during the
uenOeralons of the subcommittee.
Mr. Hepburn submitted a draft OF
'ne hrst resolution, in form substan-
ually the same as finally adopted,

The farmers of this country
ought to decide the election in No
vember. 1t is to be hoped that
they all have good memories and
that they will estimate whether TN
der the circumstances, they have
any complaint to make or not. We
have before us table of price lists
in the Chicago market in June,
1896, and again i'll June, 1900. 1t
is all interesting study. Corn June
I, 1896, was 27H cents per bushel;
this year it was 371a cents per btu
shell. Wheat on June +, 1896, was
worth 81 cents, this year, 64H;
oats stand respectively, I7h cents
in 1896 against 21A cents this
year; rye has gone from 80 to So
cents; barley from 2S to 40 cents;
fax seed from 81 cents to $3.50;
butter from 14H to IS cents; cheese
6A to 818 cents; live cattle $3.55
to S.. 32H; sheep $3.25 to $4.97H.

Bryan will be those who do not
