for representative, cast more than
1000 more votes than her southern
sister The vote of South Carolina
has steadily fallen off from 1873, 621
in 1876 to 50,SOS in 1900. 1t should
have at least doubled, but by a
system of Acknowledgement and in
timidation practiced by the demo-
cratic party in the South, popular
government has ceased to exist
there. While such conditions exist
it would be dangerous to the perpe-
tuity of the government to allow
the people of any state encouraging
such practices a direct voice in the
selection of President.

Fusion Bankrupts Colorado.

The great state of Colorado is on
the verge of bankruptcy. That is
the statement of the retiring fusion
governor in that state. "Our
credit" he said, "is exhausted and
we are face to face with the altern-
alive of relief or bankruptcy"
This is Colorado-that last year
produced more gold and silver than
any other state in the Union
Colorado that has just closed per-
iod of ropulistic and fusion
control!
Is it any wonder that Colorado
cast 10000 more votes for McKin-
icy in 1900 than in 1896?
The path of fusion and populism
leads TO industrial ruin. 1t was so
in the once promising state of Kan
sas. 1t was so in Nebraska. 1t
has retarded the growth of both Of
these states and brought odium
upon their fair names The one
gained only per cent in popula-
ton in the last ten years while the
latter may fall behind to the extent
of losing one of her seats in cong
ress. But it remains for Colorado to
suffer the most serious blight of all
from its embrace of fusion and pop
ulism. The wonderful state of
Colorado: surprising all other states
in the production of precious met
ais, wonderfully rich III other re-
Sources, brought to the brink OF
ruin through the job-lot, contract
system of fusion incompetence
extravaganza and acknowledgement
And Idaho, young and reckless
is tempting Fate by experimenting
with this same Industrial blight
1t is an encouraging sign, however
that Idaho shows evidence of tax
ing warning from the fate of hel
afflicted sister states, Kansas, Neb
raska and Colorado. The last cleo
ton indicated that the people o.
this state are alarmed, for they
came within few hundred votes
Of wiping out the overwhelming
fusion majority of four years ago
There is little doubt but that with
the experience of two years more o
fusion and populism, Idaho viii
not only quit the company she has
been keeping, but will do so with I
majority 80 pronounced that thu
fusion stain upon the state will b,
entirely wiped out.

Dubois Scores Another Round

The final round in the senatorial
battle will be pulled off in the
legislative halls at Boise commence
ing next Monday. In the three
rounds already fought Fred Z.
Dubois against the field has been
winner, and the indications are
that he will win out in the final
round. The first round was pulled
off at POcatello when he secured
the nomination; the second was in
the broad arena of the state when
he secured a fusion majority in the
legislature; the third was in the
joint caucus held last Sunday
night, which gave him the caucus
nomination of the three silver
parties for senator.
In the causus, MIR. Dubois secured
SO votes, just the number required
to elect on joint ballot. The three
democratic members from Bear
lake did not attend the caucus
neither did Representative Mounce,
democrat, Of Nez Perez, and Repre-
sentative Tresch, democrat, from
the same county did not vote.
Senator Stephens of Idaho county
was i'll and unable to attend. II
Mr.. Dubois can retain the sc votes
cast for him in caucus-and. it
would lie unreasonable to suppose
0therwise--he is a sure winner.
But the end is waited with sup
pressed excitement by all.

THE first act of the populists and
other fusion members of the house
of representatives at Boise was to
pass memorial to congress in OPP
position to the ship subsidy bill. 1t
is fitting that this memorial should
be presented IN the senate
of the United States by Mr..
Heitfeld, the gentleman who enjoys
tie distinction of being the most
unlearned man in that body.
Speaking Of the ship subsidy bill
it is to be noted that the National
Board of Trade, representing over 40
leading industries of the country,
and most representative organic
alton, has recently adopted strong
resolutions in favor of the Hanna
Payne bill, as a wise measure for
reviving our larguishing shipping
industry, which the distinguished
authority considers of vast impor-
lance to the whole country.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is the
head of the United States army, has
expressed his opinion to the effect that
he thinks it would be . bad thing to
return to the canteens at the army
posts. He thinks that they are a detri-
ment to the men and to the service.
This opinion Of the head of our army
will cauee q chill to run up the spine
of advocates of the canteen, and cause
them to wonder who threw that brick.
Congress will probably, have this ques-
ton up before it the coming winter
and a real lively time is expected.
Our own senator's and representative
cannot afford to take any backward
step along this line and we sincerely
hope will be found on the anti -canteeu
side Of the question. Drunkenness and

- The friends Of Admiral Schley are
booming him for the democratic
nomination for president in 1904. His
fool friends had better present him
with q house in addition and then he
will be in the same fix rs Dewey.
Admiral schley now has the respect
and esteem, of the American people
just as Dewey had, and if he is wise
he will not fall into the same kind Of
q trap as did the hero of Manila. He
will probably come to the conclusion
that it is better to have the glory
he has & attained that to be
nut up and sacrificed as presidenti-
al candidate. The democratic party
better take Sampson-the public
would rather see him slaughtered,

a Kansas genius has great scheme
in It's head. He will endeavor to in-
dee all the farmers to sign pledge
not to SOW any wheat in 1902. He
thinks that will send the price sky

in the twinkling of an eye. This a
great scheme but it is doubtful if the
Kansas farmers will sign any such
pledge. Why not make still more
money by raising nothing at ell next
