This campaign, so far as the De-
mocracy is concerned. appears to be
one of defense only. Every newspa-
per and every orator, from Governor
Hunt clear on down the line to the
Capital-News, is kept busy every hour
in the day explaining and apologizins
for unexplainable things And there
is so much to explain. The utmost any
of them can do Is to deny and deny

In 1896 the Republican party in Idaho

year of the great silver agitation In
1898 that vote was increased TO 1874.
In 1900 the Republican vote was 27,l08
on the electoral ticket. In other words
the Republican party of Idaho gained

For New Government Building.

Senator Depew has introduced an
amendment to the sundry civil bill ap-
Ipropriating $250,000 for the erection of
the American National Institute upon
the ground valued at 100000, pre-
scented to this government for that
purpose, in Paris, by the French gov
eminent. This is the enterprise in
which Miss Smedley, the philanthro-
pist, is interested and which has the
hearty support of Senator Dolliver,
Hon. Geo. E. Roberts and many of the
Iowa delegation, the plan and scope
of which was referred to in detail in
these dispatches last week.
Cut Iowa Pension.
On March % bill passed the house
granting a pension of $40 per month
to Frances l.. Ackley of Iowa, late
a nurse in the medical department of
the United States navy. The bill
went over to the senate and has just
emerged from the committee on pen
sions, where the $40 has been changed
to $12, and thus it will likely pass the
senate. 1t is possible that Capt. Rum
pie of the second district may be ap-
pointed member of the conference
and that he may be able to induce the
senate conferes to recede and substi-
tute $40 for $12 in the bill. 1t is said
the claim is very meritorious one.
Senate to Watch Pensions.
1t is said that an understanding ex-
lists between the house and senate that
the house will purposely make the
amount in private pension bills larger
than it is likely they. will pass and
then that the senate will pare them
down. 1t would not appear that any
good end would be served by such a
scheme as this, and it is hardly prob
able there is anything in the story. At
the present time Frances Ackely is re-
ceiving no pension whatever.
