difference between the amount asked for
and the amount allowed.

The Dewey Club met on Saturday night
and decided to hold picnic at Baldwin
Park the latter part of August. President
William Scheffmeyer urged the members
present to make "a supreme effort to dis
pose of a large number of tickets and help
in every manner to make the picnic sue
cess. There are a number of Deweyites
out of town on their vacations at present
and the responsibility for the success of
the affair devolves upon the few members
in the city.
A suggestion wac offered to the effect
that the club should announce itself
politically and endorse one of the plat
forms After considerable discuss-on
this was voted down, the sentiment Of
those present being that as long as the
club is purely social organization it
should not dabble in politics
The following were elected to member
ship:-Nathaniel McCaffery Thomas r.
Hughes and Walter S. Miller.

Think II Over.

In lecture on 1.-The Power OF
the Press delivered recently before
a Baltimore club, Charles J. Bona
parte pointed out the difference in
popular conception as to the defini-
ton Of politician Every man
who acts for the good of his city,"
says Mr.. Bonaparte, "for the pro-
motion of its public works, its po-
lice, its FIRE force, its schools and
who does all he can to aid in the
enforcement of the law is engaged
in politics. From this statement
the lecturer deduces the following
conclusions as to the province and
duty of a newspaper editor: "An
editor is necessarily a politician
and ought to be. If he is not, he
is only making a pretense-in tact,
he has to be politician whether
he will or not. Unless he has
opinions on current questions, and
is ready to express them, he is
only an imitation. 1t is the duty
OF the newspaper to act on public
questions"

Advance In Farm Products.

Next 10 the wage Garner, the
class most benefited By the revival
of prosperity under a Republican
administration are the farmers.
The general rise In prices in all
agricultural products has trans
formed their industry from depres-
sion to thrift. Experts have esti-
mated that the products of agri-
culture last year were worth a
billion and a half of dollars more
than any year during the Cleve-
land-Wilson depression from IS92
TO 1896. This is an average in
crease Of 81 per cent. Live stock
in general has gained in value IS
per cent, and crops show All in
crease OF IS per cent. The products
Of live stock, including meats,
dairy products, etc, have increased
30 per cent over the lowest point
during the period mentioned
Horses have increased one-third,
cattle about 40 per cent, and sheep
have about doubled in value.
In values of farm lands there is
decidedly upward tendency, and
sales are far more numerous as &
result of better prices for farm
products, and the number anc
amount Of mortgages are materi
ally decreased.
A brighter day has dawned fcl
the farmers of America, and the
restless, panicky class of agricul
turists who in 1896 were prone tc
believe in free silver as a panacea
for their ills, are now contented
and happy and confirmed in the
belief that protection and prosper,
ity 60 hand in hand and that sound
money and confidence are the loun.
dation of all industrial progress.

Further experimentation on the
Dowd farm in search for artesian
water goes to show that the artes-
ian flow is not local. 1t tends to
carry out the theory indicated by
the contour of the country-that
the Lewiston valley is in the belt
of artesian water, and that all that
is needed to demonstrate the fact is
the sinking of more wells. Here
is a question of vital interest that
can not be taken up too soon.

A republican congress has again
shown to the people where to look
for the party of free homes. The
original homestead law was the
work of the republican party and
one of the great deeds OF its early
days. A democratic congress took
away the homesteader's rights and
it remains for republican congress

lege.

The delegates 10 the late conven-
ton were favorably impressed with
Lewiston, and those who took an
opportunity TO look into the coun-
Try tributary to the city were still
more favorably impressed with the
future of the Gateway city. The
Clearwater country is its own best
advocate. The wheat fields and
the orchards tell the story OF pro-
life soil which needs no further
d ,monstra'ion. Every public gath
ering that tends to bring crowds OF
people into Lewiston valley forms
basis for the best advertisement
the country can have. Get the
people; Mother Nature will do the
rest.
