No Apparent Reason.

Apparently there is no reason for
Mrs. Gruwell leaving home. Friends
of the family say that her home life is
made as happy as possible by her hus-
band and that they live comfof5ably
and pleasantly together Why the wo.
man should wish to leave such a home
is more than it is possible to surmise,
but some who know her hint that there
is a man in the case. This. however
is denied by relatives of the family,

ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR
We recommend that each and all of
the Democratic members of the seventh
session of the legislature of Idaho do.
Immediately after the convening of said
session. meet in caucus, and this con-
vention pledges said Democratic mem
bers to support as unit the candidate
for United States senator receiving the
majority vote of said caucus.
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF EMPLOYEES.
We pledge the support of the Demo
cratic party to the proposed amendment
of section Of article l3 of the constitu
ton of the state Of Idaho providing for
the protection Of the health and safety
of employees in factories, smelters,
mines and ore reduction works,
CONCLUSION.
We call attention to the fact that the
tax levy for state purposes has been re-
duced under Democratic administra-
tion. Such levy amounted to So cents
on the hundred dollars for the year Of
1895, the sixth and last year of Republi-
can administration in this state, while
for the present year it amounts to only
46 cents ON the hundred dollars. Be
lieving that the people of this state
favor an honest, efficient and economi-
cal administration of said state govern
ment. we appeal, with confidence to the
people for their outrage and promise to
continue that line of conduct which has
reduced expenses and taxation in the
past.

DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

There were numerous errors and
omissions in the Democratic platform as
published by the Statesman arising
from combination of circumstances.
In order that the public may have the
correct text it is herewith reprinted:
We, the Democrats of Idaho, hereby
acknowledge and declare our continued
allegiance to the Democratic party OF
the nation, and on national issues re-
affirm and indorse the principles laid
down in it's national platform adopted
at Kansas City and fully and ably rep
resented in the presidential campaign
of 1900 by William Jennings Pryan. Re
garding those principles as opposed to
imperialism and colonialism, as opposed
to government by injunction, as op-
posed to trusts and trust-fostering tar
ifs, as opposed to financial monopoly,
and as opposed to all other legalized
monopolies and privileges, we condemn
every effort to repudiate or ignore
them.
ANARCHY.
We are unalterably opposed to an
archy. and deplore with great sorrow
the cowardly act of the assassin who
struck down our late lamented presi
dent, William Mckinley, whose person
al virtues we acknowledge and respect
TRUSTS.
The alarming recent growth OF trusts
whereby legitimate competition is De
stroyed and the prices of staple article
of consumption unreasonably inflated
is due to high protective tariff, fail
ure to enforce the federal anti-trus
law and a harmful manipulation
transportation facilities. We do there
fore demand revision OF the tarli
laws which will place on the free hs
every article and product controlled b
q trust: the criminal prosecution Q
trust promoters and operators IN con
pliance with the fe ieral antitrust la"
and the denial of the use OF the Unite
States mails to said trusts.
CURRENCY AND BANKING.
We are opposed to the Fowler GU
rencv and banking bill pending in COZ
eress. for the reason that it destroy
independent banks and SUBSTITUTE
therefor the European branch bank sy

hank to issue currency based on asse
and also because by making the silv'

conducted upon a cash basis, and we
| invite the voters of the state to compare
the same with the Incompetent and
extravagant administration Of the state
government by the Republican party
during the first six years of our state
hood.
STATE LAND BOARD.
We invite careful examination by
every voter of the state of the conduc
of the business of the state land boart

tracts of land which are more suitable

Mrs. U. S. Grant Sinks TO Sleer.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Mrs. U. s.
Grant, widow of Gen. Grant, died at
her residence in this city at IL: II O'Clock
tonight. Death was due to heart fail
ure, Mrs. Grant having suffered from
valyular disease of the heart for some
years, which was aggravated by Sc
we're attack of bronchitis. Her age pre-
vented her rallylng from The attacks.
Her daughter, Nellie Grant Sortoris,
was the only one of her children with
her at the time of her death, her three
sons who had been summoned here, all
being out of the city.
There also were present at the bed
side when the end came Miss Rosemary
Sartoris, q granddaughter; DR.. Bishop,
one of the attending physicians, and
the two trained nurses. Death came
peacefully, the sufferer retaining al
most complete consciousness practical
ly to the end. Word has come from
Jesse and Ulysses s. Grant, two of the
sons now in California, that they have
started on their way to Washington.
The other son, Gen. Frederick Grant,
is in Texas, and he will hasten here as
soon as he receives message telling
him of his mothers death. The re-
mains of Mrs. Grant will be deposited
in the tomb at Riverside Park, New
York, where those of her husband now
repose. Whether they will be taken
there immediately, or whether this Ger.
emony will be postposed for time,
could not be ascertained at the house
tonight. Mrs. Grant, whose nader
name was Julia Dent, was born in St
Louis in 1926, and was the daughter o.
Frederick and Ellen Wrenshall Dent
She was married to Gen. (then Capt,
Grant in 1848.

We regret to see that there is q pros
pect of trouble between Editor Sigh
Lyle of the Johnson City COMET and
Editor Reaves of the Hardeman Free

in THE COMET that Jack was perhaps
the most bellicose editor in the state.
Editor Reayes construed this as a re-
Election upon his shape, of which he is
justly proud, and at last accounts he
was denouncing Lyle as a red -whisker-

words to that effect.
