THE LEWISTON CONVENTION.


A great deal has been said about
the result of the Lewiston Conven-
ton. Some assert that il terminal
ed unfavorably to Gov. Steunenberg
and was all acknowledgements of
dissent as to his methods in the
Couer dAlenes.
The EXAMINER fails to see where
in the latter contention is sustained
by the action of the convention.
The seating of the contesting dele
cation from Shoshonc county, with
Ats resolutions endorsing Gov. Steun-
enberg's action in that county, can
be taken in no light except that of
approval. While many of the gov
ernor's friends desired more equi-
vocal declaration yet there were
other matters to be considered, and
one of these was, that the Pocatello
convention was the proper place for
resolutions touching state affairs.
Again it will be noted that every
man who was elected as delegate
to Kansas city has agreed to work
and vote against any plank, censur-
mo the state administration>s work
in Shoshone. If they had not SO
pledged themselves they would not
have been elected.
The governor did not desire his
own election to Kansas city if, in
the judgement of his friends, it
would have caused a breach In tn e
party ranks. At all times he conn-
seled his friends to look to the party
welfare first, as against any person
al consideration.
Taking it all in all the results of
the convention was a distinct de-
claration in favor of the State
policy in Shoshone county. The
final vote on seating the contesting
delegation, 1856 to II we believe,
showed only too plainly how the
convention felt.

Jim Wallis has been sprung by
the Caldwell Tribune for the nomi-
nation of lieutenant governor. This
is the. ''goak" of the political sea-
son, but there are those who believe
that Jimmy put himself in line for
the job while at Lewiston, and these
good 6. 0. p.'s swear that the party
is not yet ready for suicide, and
they propose to lay Jimmie on the
shelf with siekening thud The
democrats hope Jim will i'm the
place he is looking for, as it would
mean a democratic president of the
state senate.

with him enough morphine to Kill a

to end himself quickly in case of an ac-

HE SHOULD COME HOME.

Commissioner General Peck emphatical-
" says, declare the cable dispatches that
he is not going to resign Now, Commits
sioner General Peck is undoubtedly an
authority on this subject, and his words
are entitled to much weight But Com
missioner General Peck none the less
should resign, unless he is willing to sub
nit to being a much -maligned man. He
is. we are assured, looking somewhat
nervous, as the result of his very hard
labor on behalf of his country in for
eign land. An additional reason, by the
way, why he should resign.
Mr.. Peck has been speaking rather free
ly to his countrymen abroad of the news
paper calling, as hard-worked officials OF
his stripe are wont to do And he made
among others this somewhat remarkable
statement: For man who is said to
have robbed his government of 81, 900 900, 1
am not wanting in courage or physical
energy" What could Commissioner Peck
mean? Does he desire to express his con-
viction that it is only cripples and weak
lings that rob? This he follows up by
saying that he wonders what his enemies
will hit upon next and adds the fond
hope that it will be something more as
tute. No doubt Commissioner General
Peck is man of much feeling. His con-
cern about the future operations Of his
enemies would seem to indicate this much
at least. His implied argument that he
did not steal $1,OOO,OOO from his govern
ment because he still preserves his cour-
age and physical energy shows him the
possessor of the astuteness which he de-
nies to his enemies
1t is very plain from a variety of cir
cumstances that Commissioner General
Peck is a very smooth proposition. He
must also be very able man. His corps
of experts and clerks and his ability to
expend the public funds on travelling ex-
penses show that his mental operations
must be very active indeed. His de-
moralized nervous condition and the
pains which are taken to set it forth pa
thetically in the press seem to indicate
that he is a gentleman who knows the
mysteries of the newspaper offices, a form
of knowledge which passes current as coin
of the realm with many a clever man like
Mr.. Peck. who has found himself over
worked in the public service.
A fellow feeling. if no other considera-
ton, ought to induce some of those who
sent Mr.. Peck over to Paris to work him
self to death to take steps to have that
gentleman recalled at once before he suf
fers such serious injury to his health that
he becomes incapacitated. Such men as he
are evidently sorely needed in the crisis
which is about to assert itself in the af
fairs of the imperialistic combine at
Washington. Their usefulness abroad is
| at least equivocal.

ANTI-TRusT nUNcoMRE.

Tie proceedings in the house Of rep

the trusts can be read with deep interest
by all who are actively interested In hav
Ing public restraint placed on those or
ganizations. The game was played by
the Republican statesmen with no small
degree Of skill; but it was SO palpabIy a
game that no one was deceived.
1t seems to have been thought neces-

brethren to hedge behind the name and
opinion Of William j. Bryan in their ef-
forts to fool the country into the belief
that the offer Of a constitutional amend
ment Is anything save the shabbicst kind

One constitutional amendment has all

session of congress. 1t is that provid-
ing for the election OF federal senator's b,.
The popular vote. 1t is at best but q
small matter whether one or a half
dozen such undertakings are so disposed

Wan Rush FOR GOLD.

1t is estimated that from $4,000 to $4,000
men and women-most of whom are to
be disappointed will land at Cape
Nome this summer in the mad rush for
gold. The whole coast and the vast
tundra inland is a treeless, moss-covered
waste; not a tree is in sight, and in most
places not even shrub. The absence of
timber, it is thought, is because of the
rigors of the Arctic climate. There is
considerable drift wood thrown up on the
Nome beaches, and logs bearing the
brand of Puget Sound sawmills have
been found. 1t is a bleak and forbidding
land, and it's gold deposits will probably
be exhausted this season, and then the
interest will be transferred to some other
district Some folks can be fooled all
the time.
