Mr.. Beveridge's Letter and Reply.

Senator Beveridge's peculiar felicity as
letter writer is recognized by his
friends to be equal to his ability as an
essayist and orator. No instance is re-
called. however of such direct and
signal proof of this ability as was con-
tanned in a letter received by him yes
terday from the widow of a late constitu
ent. Some people say that no such trib-
ute was ever paid in all the history of
epistolary achievement.
Senator Beyeridge noted one letter n
his mail with a black border. He paid
it the Difference of reading it first, as
follows:
Yours of the 14th instant received.
My husband read it himself.
AT ?. m. he died OF heart trouble"

Senate Lemonade Again in Evidence.
The weather sharp of the Senate me-
teorological bureau predicts that the hot
weather season has arrived in earnest,
and in sympathy with this intimation the
summer supply of lemonade has appeared
in the Senate cloak rooms and in the
press gallery.
The Senatorial lemonade is choice ar
ticle. made Of spring water and the best
lemons. and its supply is unlimited. a
vast quantity is consumed both by the
Senators and by the newspaper men. Esti-
mates have been made, but none OF them
worthy of more than acceptance with
large reservation, as TO the amount of
more potent fluids that remain uncon-
sumed on account of the Senatorial lem
onade.

"a their candidate for state senator,
Hon. joni F. Yost, editor of the
Kootenai County Republican.

that he has displayed as an editor,
there is no question as to this

lie first taught school, then engaged
in the newspaper business, starting
at the first round as a printer, and
worked his way up until he is now
publishing the leading newspaper
in Kootenai County.
Mr.. Yost is married and has a
most estimable wife and a very
bright little son. He has a nice
home in Standpoint and is prosper
ing in business, having made a
decided success as an editor.
He has had experience in public
affairs and possesses every quail

is the nominee.

Hon. JOHN HALEY, the veteran

in congress, and the Democratic
party as its state chairman. The
opinion of "Old Honest John"
commands great respect throughout
the state, and when he pronounced
against the Hunt regime he gave it

Importance to the taxpayers of
kootenai County. 1t needs no
arguement to substantiate this
statement, The Republican nomi-
nees are exceptionally strong men.
In the LIST district, Joseph Fisher, d
prominent business man residing
at st. Maries, is the nominee. In
the 2nd district, our candidate is
Andrew Merritt, one of the sub
stantial ranchers of that district.
In the Sd district, the candidate is
Alex Quarrie, of Hope, prominent
rancher and dairyman. AS Bon
ners is in the Sd district, many OF
orr readers are particularly inter
ested in the commissioner from the
Sd. Mr.. Quarrie is a man who
commands the highest respect of his
neighbors, who vouch unreservedly
for his honesty and integrity. HI

ANOTHER "Honest John" has

less a person than Ex-Sheriff John

He has hosts of Democratic friends
throughout the county and in a
letter to the Standpoint Republican

HOTELS ARE
OVERLOOKING
Buyers Have FIocked TO the
Metropolis In Great Numbers.

New York, Aug. 20.--Broadway ho-
tells are filed to overfiowing at pres
ent owing to the unusual influx of
buyers. Hotel keepers are nightly
turning away hundreds of patrons
whom they cannot accommodate, al
though cots have been set up in all
the spare and private rooms avail
able. sn4
One peculiar feature of the crush
Is that the overflow from the hotels
is being diverted to Turkish bath
houses. At one establishment for the
past two weeks more than score of
out,of-town buyers have been sleep
ing every night on cots in the recep-
tion hall.
Another reason given by Broadway
hotel keepers for the big business
they are doing is the cool weather,
which has proved SO disastrous to
summer hotel keepers. Thousands of
visitors are flocking into the city from
the seashore and amusing themselves
in New York. At the Hoffman House
cots, to accommodate the surplus pa
irons, have been placed in the private
dining room, and the Japanese, Moor
ish, Dutch, pink and gold rooms.

PEACE AND WAR.

The relative expenditures of the
government for % years under peace
and war have just been analyzed by
Edward Atkinson, of Boston and the
result ought to be interesting to the
people. AN
The average for the twenty years,
to June 80, 1897. under Hayes, Arthur,
Cleveland and Harrison, was 50 per
head of population, ranging from a
minimum Of $4.43 in President Cleve-
lands first term to $3.50 in President
Harrlsons term the increase being
due to large addition to pension ex-
penditures. ~
The civil service during this period
averaged $1,4S per head; the support
of the army, rs cents; the support of
the navy and the construction of
naval vessels, 35 cents; interest, 80
cents, and pensions, S1.52. The total
expenditures during this period came
to S5,935 1851 1886. Average per year,
$2o6, 6,76S,067. :
In contrast with this period the OK
penditures under Presidents McKin-
ley and Roosevelt in five years have
been at the average of S667 per head,
amounting to S2,517 ,331, $40; the civil
expenditures, $1,51; interest, AZ cents;
pensions, $1.S6. But the expenditures
for military purposes, including the
payment under the Spanish treaty,
have been S1.97, and upon the navy
SO cents. Average per year, $503, 1885,
$40.
