titled. The republican press has
always had very simple and read y
solution for these unpleasant pro-
blems, simply attributing all these
business evils to the fact that Idaho
was democratic state and for this
reason eastern capital was more or
less suspicious regarding investment.
In fact the old threat is as common
as air. that if democracy is victorious,
work stops; it, on the other hand,
republicanism succeeds, work will go
on and prosperity will cover the land
like the waters of the sea. While
this is species of coercion as de-
testable as can be imagined, it no
doubt has it's effect and possibly the
absorption of this idea had a de-
cided influence in the late election in
Idaho. Now 1t only remains for the
party in power to make these fore
casts facts. The whole American
political universe is in the hands of
the G. o. p. and not a democratic
stumbling block intervenes. So full
I'll your promises, and give us pros
perity in big letters, write it all over
the land, and not palter with us in a
double sense that keeps the word of
promise to our ears and breaks it to
our hopes. Much can be accom-
plished in two years and the people
have the promise of better things in
the future They have performed
their part of the contract, and it
only remains for the incoming adj
to do its part. But no
doubt, when they get into the con-
cert themselves they will discover
the fact that it is far easier to criti-
else than it is to sing. But we have |
hope; and trust that some of the
promised benefits will be realized. be
it by reason of political conditions.
or in spite of them. We have every
reason to expect great things, be-
cause they have been promised us.

The following rather inexplicable
clipping is from the Shoshone
journal alleged republican, but with
strong democratic proclivities for
instance:
The Spanish Minister at Washington
says his one object in this country il In
restore friendly relations between Snain
and the United States. The United
States will gladly meet him half way
but would suggest that, rs a preliminary.
Spain reduce her tariff on some of the
goods we would gladly sell her and which
she actually needs.
Re duce tariff No indeed. that
Is wrong principle. The proper
proposition is to increase the tariff
In this country on all the articles
that Spain requires, and which are
manufactured in the United States.
and make the American people paw
enough more that we can sell to Spain
regardless of duty charges. That is
the proper caper-and we Americans
are used to it. Don't let any such
nonsense occur again or you will be
turned out of the synagogue. If the
idea uggested should be applied to
this country the American people
would all be rich in few years and
this is possibility not to be toler-
ated for moment. You seem to
forget who owns this country.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE

without attempting to re-anima tie
dead issues, 1t may be well for the
defeated democracy to glance back
over the field and note some of the
principal causes that led to such dis
astrOus results. The trumped up
charges brought forward at the
eleventh hour against the state adj
ministratlon had more or less effect.
inasmuch as the principal accusers
belonged to the democratic party and
OF course had following, and with
this faction the defeat of the ticket
was paramount to party victory, and
the results show that they must
have voted in harmony with their ex-
pressed feelings. In our county af
fairs Vhe same conditions obtained
and were not confined to either party
In both state and county politics an
interior force was manifested and
what IL was can be readily surmised
but not so easily demonstrated.
All the clamor against the outgoing
administration has ceased already.
and, when the echoes come back
they will fall on the public ear as
sounds of praise instead of censure
but possibly partisan SANDER when
it accomplishes its end, becomes a
political virtue. Beyond all this
there is no question but an atmos-
phere of discomfort has to a certain

Our mines are non productive and

when Idaho was primitive wilder

rcctly traceable to the blighting in
fiuence of trusts, fostered and pro-
tected by laws enacted, and kept in
force by the republican party.

enterprises of public character, have

Fights and FIGHTERS.
Two Good and Clever Battles
Took Place Last Night.

Jack Root Puts 1t Ali Over Kid Carter
Young Corbett Allows Kid Erne to
Stay the Limit Gossip About the
Wearers of the Padded Glove.
One of the members of the board Of
public safety said last night that those
good people who want the coming
sparring contest stopped spoke too
late. He thought they should have en-
tered their protest as soon as it was
announced that the club had made ap-
plication to conduct such an entertain
ment.
Chicago, Oct 2S.-The six round bout
last night at Catch weights between
Kid Carter and Jack Root, at the
American Athletic club, justified the
expectations of the management when
the contest was arranged, for the
bGlding was completely filed Not
only that, but the excitement was in
tense throughout
Both men were in splendid physical
condition and anxious to win. For
Root, victory meant that his tri-
umph over the Brooklyn man at San
francisco was no fuke, and that it
would entitle him to another chance
at George Gardiner, who defeated him
at Salt Lake City about two months
ago. Carter was anxious to win be-
cause it would give him first chance
to meet Jack O'Brien at this club on
November 10.
Carter was slight favorfte over
Root, but there was very little specu-
lation on the result
The Brooklyn mans weak defense
was a surprise to his supporters. Root
showed himself throughout to be. his
superior in skill and generalship, and
his blows We're equally as strong as
the Kids. which is usually the latter's
best hold.
In the first and second rounds Root
Kept up succession of left jabs, now
ana then sending in short right hook,
which invariably landed on Carter's
jaw. Carter was unable to hit Root
with any effect, and at the end of the
second round, when Carter went to
his corner in a groggy condition, it
looked as though the fight would not
last the limit. In the third and fourth
rounds, however, Carter came back
strongly, and had the better of it, par
tcularly in the third round, when he
sent in several right swings that
caught Root on the jaw and neck.
In the fifth Root resumed the lead
he had won in the earlier part of the
fight, and hammered Carter all over
the ring. The sixth round was. even
more in favor Of Root. and Carter was
in bad way when the round ended.
He was bleeding from the nose and
from bad cut over the left eye, and
was rapidly growing weak. He could
hardly have lasted through one more
round. 2"@ !
Philadelphia, Oct 2S.-Young Erne
/, managed to stay the six rounds with
the featherweight champion, Young
Corbett, at the Washington club last
night. There were three times after
the second round that Erne could have
been disqualified for going to, the floor
to avoid punishment, but as there was

signed a two year contract with
Brooklyn last year in which there was
an option clause the same as was in
the Lajoie contract. Kitson has not
signed yet and has not been asked to
sign by Brooklyn, but may be. "Pll
bet $500 to $5,v said Hanlon, s'that
Leach, Conroy and Smith play with
Pitsburg again next year. There
won't be any New York American
league club next year. The three
Pitsburg players took $1,000 advance
money from the American league, but
returned it.''
The New York baseball club Of the
! National league announced last night
its players for next season. All the
men named in the list have signed con-
tracts and accepted advance money
from the club. Several new names
have been added. The team will be
made up from the following:
Catchers Bowerman, Warner, Bres-
nahan and Robinson.
Pitchers-Mil Cronin, Taylor,
Mathewson and McGinnity.
nfielders-McGann, Smith, George

lures of Keller. Mathewson, Bower
man, Newton, Kitson, Donovan, Will

and that he will retain the services Of

we have leased grounds not only con-

| Walker met almost instant death in
a most peculiar manner here yester-
day He with two Young cOmDan-
i ions, was sitting on a fence watching
Ia baseball game. One Of the boys
asked for a knife to sharpen pencil
with which he was keeping score.
As Walker opened the knife a foul
ball knocked by one Of the players
struck his hand and drove the blade
into his side, cutting an artery. He
bled to death in short time.

ON THE GRIDIRON
Plenty of Hard Work Yet Ahead Of
the Big Six.


New Haven, Oct 2S.-F. Gordon
Brown, Yale's captain Of two years
ago, was out on Yale field in togs yes
terday afternoon and coached in a
manner that seems to indicate that
the work of the men for the next two
weeks will be of the rapid-fire order.
Brown was accompanied by Walter
Camp, "Parson' Cutten, Conner and
Head Coach Swan. The practice was
very hard and fast. Charles D. Raj
ferty, last years end rush, was out
yesterday for the first time this season,
and was given a little work at right
end. Wilhelm continued to hold left
end and was played throughout both
halves Of the open practice. He is
slowly improving. Shevlin was put at
end and missed many tackles.
Princeton, Oct 2S.-The Tigers yes
terday took things easy, and several
of the men who played against Column
bia enjoyed a well earned rest. Short
was the only lineman who played in
Saturdays game that was in line yes
terday. butcher was in uniform and
got about on his weak ankle better
than heretofore. Baker played at
center, with butcher and Waller on
either side. Vetterlein and King
played quarter, while r .McClave and
Delaney We're tried at full-back. Two
ten-minute halves were played be-
tween the scrub and varsity. The
latters defense was broken through at
will In the second half Dewitt at
tempted long place kick from the
forty-five yard line, but failed. Early
in the practice, however, he did some
good work, and twice sent the ball
over the bar from the center of the
field on place kicks.
Cambridge, Oct 2S.-The problem Of
developing the line for the big games
is the most serious thing that will oc-
cupy the coaches attention the next
few weeks. The tackles are especially
weak 1t is though that Harvard will
have more trick plays this year than
ever before. Head Coach Farley be-
lieves in something besides straight,
steady rushing.
Ithaca, Oct 2S.-In a driving rain
and with Percy field a sea Of mud,
Cornell's Varsity and scrub strapped
yesterday afternoon for twenty min
utes. The scrimmage was hard one,
for the scrubs contested every inch of
ground. On the Varsity side Shepard
was at fullback, Webb was at right
guard, Larkin at left end and Davitt
at center. At the outset the second
eleven hammered the left tackle. A
brace-up followed and the scrubs
were held for downs long before the
varsity goal was in danger. Later
they pushed Shepard over for touch
down.
Philadelphia, Oct 29.-seeret prac-
tice was held on Franklin field yester-
day land active preparations begun
for the game. of Saturday next with
Columbia The success of the team
last Saturday against Bucknell, when
every follower Of the Quakers expect
ed defeat, has raised the hopes of the
followers of Penn. Anyone who
would have said after the Annapolis
game that Pennsylvania had chance
to beat Columbia would have been
laughed at. Now there is hope, and
