dominated so long by Wall street
but is more intimately associated
with the principles enunciated at
Omaha, and afterwards at st. Louis
by the Populists. If Popuists vote
the Democratic ticket they will
vote to send back to the United
States senate Fred T. Dubois, an
unfaltering and consistent advocate
of the white metal. a man who,
though surrounded by traitors, re-
NAMED true to bimetalism.
In view of the foregoing and for
MANY other reasons that could be
advanced, | strongly urge on my
Populist associates to follow the ad-
vice of the chairman of their cam
paign committee and ote the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Before drawing this communica-
ton to a close let me say that there
are many local conflicting issues in
this state that have and are exer-
cising a disturbing influence on the
public mind. might say that l
have grievances to complain of, but
| will not allow them to stand in
the way when the public good is
concerned. Forgetting the past,
thinking only of the present and
the momentous issues involved in
this campaign, my duty is clear
support the fusion agreement.
| call on the reform voters of
Idaho, to the last man and the last
woman, to do likewise.

Pleasant Political Affair.

The reception given to the Demo.
cratic candidates by the silver
voters of this town, at the opera
house last Saturday evening was a
decided success both socially and
politically. Between the hours OF
and 1890, the hall was thronged
with silver people in appreciation
OF the candidates on the county
ticket. The lady voters turned out
en- masse, and the affair had all the
pleasant features Of social re-un-
ion.
Miss Lille. B. Nichols, our next
County School Superintendent, was
the center of attraction, and car
ried herself with the grace and dig
nifty of princess, and presented
everybody present with neat boz
quet of roses, chrysanthemums and
smilax.
An elaborate lunch was spread
and all were invited to partake,
and full justice was done to the
bounteous spread.
Everybody went home well
pleased and the affair will be long
thought of with pleasant recollec-
ton.

heavy bars with his enormous head, and,
rearing up, tries vainly TO shake the

to Public Eaths-

to AaShS-
NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Regarding the
epidemic of sore eyes which has been trac-
ed to the public baths, Prof Emil Gruen-
ing, one of the best-known oculists in
New York. says:
This epidemic is no novelty. Its ex-
istence in New York has been observed by
oculists for many years. The free public
bath at the foot OF Bridge Street. Brooklyn.
is at present most prominently mentioned,
but the maiady has been and is contracted
in various other similar resorts There is
no doubt that the epidemic has been fairly
general every summer for many years.
e Personally I do not believe that the
disease is necessarily acquired by INNER
sion in water contaminated by sewage
My opinion is that it comes rather from
use of towels. Most ocutsts are practical
" unanimous as TO the cause of the cpl
demic, There is no doubt in my mind that
large proportion should be afraid to
say how large-of the young men who fire.
quent these public baths are sufferers from
contagious disase- They undoubtedly CON
taminate the water and the baths are diff
fused by a diluted poison. This Is dis
tinctly question of public interest. and
it should be rendered impossible for per-
sons suffering from contagious diseases TO
enter public bathing establishments. The
simplest method would be 10 examine each
| bather.
In my opinion the present free public
baths are unsanitary- The only baths that
are SANITARY are shower baths. Have free
public shower baths by all means! They
would be Infinitely preferable 20 the pres
ent system Here is a good opening for 8
! real phiianthropist.
The disease itself is more uncomfort-
! able than serious. Its duration scarcely
| ever extends over a period of more than
two weeks. Its symptoms are somewhat
alarming; the eyes become very swollen
and the lids abnormaIly pulled
no TWO cases are alike, however, and it's
treatment varies according to the IA
ture OF the case. There are no fixed gen
eral rules that can be laid down for treat
ment
Il attach little Importance 20 the state
ments regarding the Irritation of the eyes
experienced after surf baths by those SUM
meTing at the seaside resorts. The eyes OF
most people are sensitive TO salt water
! and the irritation produced after a surf
bath is quite natural, and not, in my opin-
j ion, symptomatic of any specific disease"
