ODERIFER,OUS

The thoroughbred smellers whose
expert services were relied upon to
develop and locate democratic frauds
have trailed all through the state
records and have found the alarming
discrepancy of SO cents charged to a
wrong account. The aforesaid smell
ers, however, are very suspicious
that an alarming democratic surplus
exists, amounting to about million
dollars. No suggestions from the
smellers were needed to arrange for
future distribution of the incum-
brance, according to republican
methods, state and national The
result shows that the olfactorv or
gans OF the smellers were very highly
developed to distinguish so feeble a
trace.

A CHARACTER.

Mr.. Bartlett Sinclair, who recently
distinguished himself in the Philip.
pines by becoming defaulter, an6
also BY failure to commit suicide,
was well known in Idaho. As pol
itcian he was somewhat impulsive
AS an instance, he was elected by
the democrats in 1898 to the office
of auditor, and also was delegated
by Gov. Steunenberg as lord high
executiOner in the Occur d'Alene in
cident. He subsequently acquired
further distinction by Topping over
to the G. 0. 2. AT the time of his
unfortunate mistake, (not abiding to
the failure to commit suicide) he oc-
cupled the position of treasurer
somewhere out IN the insular
jungles. The party papers here gave
HIM an imaculate character based on
his Idaho record His experience
may be similar to that of the Irish
girl who, on the voyage over, lost
the certificate received from her last
employer. A friend, however, rem
edied the difficulty by giving her
paper which stated that she had
good character when she left the old
country, but lost it on the ship com
ny over.

FACTS VS.. SPECULATION.

The World comments on the Sio
nails remarks regarding the raise ir
salaries OF state officers, and speak,
OF ''great roar" As a matter nj
TACT 1t was only faint whisper. The
final roar will be heard in the nea,
future when the people begin to re-
allze what hands they have fallen in
to, and that the raise is only a con.
certed plan ofrepublican professional
grafters to get that much more of q
campaign fund out of the people re-
CARELESS of political connections And
the shadow of coming events foretell
the inevitable victory of sound de-
mocracy at the next election The
signal states the fact that the sal
aries have been raised by republican
action, and, as we remarked the
next election will afford an oppor
tunlty for something more tangible
than speculations.

to their successors. 1t drives the
Statesman wild to refer to this, and,
in opposing something the Signal
has said, it remarks:
The million dollars left" is spoken OF
as though the leaving of it reflected some
especial economy on the part of the last
administration. The record is too well
known to need further comment. But,
from what did that large balance arise ?
1t came from the sales of state timber.
This timber was disposed of at from one
third to one-half what it was worth.
1t has been sweet morsel in the
republican mouth to declare that
great tracts of timber have been
sold below its value. Much of the
timber sold was costing the state
thousands of dollars to preserve
from fires raging in North Idaho,
and while some of it may have in
creased in value by holding, yet the
risk of destruction by flames made
the adage "a bird in the hand is
worth two in the BUSH" very fore
ible one, and the expense of patrol
ling it would consume a consider
able part of any increase. There is
no proof that the timber tracts sold
have had any increase in value. Let
us see what the previous republican
administration sought to do. Gov
ernor Mcdonnell went to Chicago and
arranged a deal by which immense
tracts of timber were to be turned
over to the lumber trust at 50 per
acre. The steal was accidentally
upset and Governor Steunenberg sold
The same tracts at figures which
brought SO to so per acre How

EXPLANATIONS THAT MYSTIFY

The Statesman rises to make few
remarks explanatory of the Infamous
action of the exclusively republican
aggregation recorded as the Seventh
Legislature. That same has raised
the salaries of all state officials and
landed into the Democratic surplus
like hungry swine into full trough
The Statesman attempts to answer a
few of the PLAN facts given by the
Signal. None of the facts as stated
are denied, and after abiding to
them it proceeds to the discussion of
matters that have no connection with
the subject, and states that a brief
examination of the matter will he of
lnterest-just so. The examinations
aforesaid should, in the interests of
the party responsible, be not only
De orlef but short. The proper pol
