Brydn Not Dead Yet.

There are those who construe Mr..
Bryan's speech in the Illinois case as a
swan song, but it is far more sugges-
tive of vitality than of approaching dis
solution.
If we call it song at all we should
recognize in it the fervor of a hymn,
the object of it's praise being the truth
and the right. But it is, more properly
considered, philippe that was evoked
by an outrageous wrong. Majority
rule had been prevented in the Illinois
convention by rank dishonesty and an
audacity and impudence which were
carried into the debates at st. Louis by
the ''highwaymen" and train robbers"
Of Mr. Bryan's denunciatory sentences.
In the contrast both of cause and of
persons the Nebraskan shows to such
great advantage that he should receive
a tribute of respect, even from those
who have differed from him most widely
in the past upon political principles.
We believe, moreover, that his Glen
illness of character, his fine moral quail
tiles, his purity of purpose, his political
zeal and his unrivaled gifts as an
orator absolutely preclude the idea
that he has ceased to be force in our
public life. Whether one approves all
his tenets or not, one should recognize
the power that is in him, and it may
affect millions in the future as it has ir
the past. For the present it must be
said, of course, that the leadership Of
his party has gone from him to other
men. 1t may even be said that the
masses of the party have decreed the
change because they are tired of hi:
silver hobby and tired of defeat. But
who shall say that he may not reassert
himself if conditions should beckon hin
to the fore as they did in 1896. Anyone
who believes that he can never again
have a great popular following is ;
careless reader of history and of human
nature. Chicago Record-Herald.

WHYP


went into Buffalo Hump via. Ad-
ANS camp recently and returned
to Spokane via. Elk City. He
was loud in his praise of the Elk
City-Callender road, saying, 1T
is a dream when compared with
that outrageous affair from Adj
ANS camp. l would not have
known such road as this was in
existence but for the MINING
NEWS. Why is it not used more?
1t is very rough between Callen-
der and the Hump, and ought to
be fixed; why is it not done? AS
a mountain road have seen its
equal in grade only once, between
Wallace and Murray, Idaho"
Since the MINING News first
called attention to this road,
which there was no use doing
before, until the snow went off, it
has been used by large number
of people, both freighters and
travellers, and the latter will in
variably ask the same questions
the travelling man did. Many of
them will say they are no longer
surprised that Central Idaho is as
backward as it is as a mining re-
gion.
Said prominent mining man
who is we'll known throughout
the northwest, II had occasion to
go to the Hump recently, and ar
rived there the same evening the
mail arrived. hurried to secure
the latest paper only to find it
was two days older than the one
| read in Elk City the morning l
left for the Hump. I'll wager
there is not another camp on
earth that would tolerate such a
condition of affairs three months,
to say nothing of five years.
Continuing this gentleman said:
Il was informed by the MINING
NEWS that the Department had
granted a mail route to Calender,
but later reconsidered it's action
and cancelled the route. Why
was this done?"
The MINING News is not in a
position to answer all these aues-
tions; although as regards the
lack of repair on Calender hill,
the News is informed it is not a
county road. The road was built
by the Buffalo Hump syndicate,
from Orogrande to the Hump.
The syndicate, through Charles
Sweeney, tried to transfer it to
the county, but without success.
The commissioners, on the adj
vice of Wallace N. Scales, then
county attorney, refused to accept
it. The NEWS is not in possession
of Mr.. Scales reasons. They
must be weighty, however, view
ed comparatively with the later
fact that Tom Johnson succeeded
in presenting the board with
about one hundred miles of game
trails on Salmon river. The dis
lance between Orogrande and the
Hump is about eleven miles.
As.to why the mail route be-
tween Elk City and Calender was

THE President sent a long message to
Congress of Jan.4, i%ustifying his action in
regard to Panama, giving that body all
the facts and incidents which lea him to
recognize the new republic. The message
was closely followed on both sides of tho
Senate, and was regarded by the Repub-
licans as a very strong document. The
President claimed that he had acted with
in a reasonable time; that Congress- had
marked out the route of the canal from
Panama to Colon and that as he had Sc
cured that route it was needless
to consider Nicaragua. He averred
that Colombia had power to ratify the
Hay Harrion treaty which was more
generous to Colombia; and it was motor
ious for a long time. as shown by extract
from the public press that a revolution
was pending in Panama provided the
treaty failed. In view of this state of af-
fairs he ordered warships to the isthmus
to protect American citizens and proper
ty. Dispatches from Commander Hubbard
were set forth showing the condition ex-
isting and the action he took to prevent
hostilites OF the part of Colombia. The
President Lad no doubt the treaty would
be ratified and that Congress would stand
by the new republic.

To Fix a Date for Holding the Repub.
lican Primary Election.

The Chairmen of the County Commit
tees of the five counties comprising this
Congressional district are meeting in
Warren to-day for the purpose of fixing a
date for holding the primaries in the
counties of the district. AT the confer
ence held in Warren two years g for
the purpose of adopting a plan for NOM
mating congressman in the 2sth district,
a rule was adopted, which reads as fol-
lows:
THE Republican primary elections in
each of the counties comprising said Con-
gressional district shall be held on the
same day Except in the year 1902 in
years in which Congressman, Presiden-
tisl Electors and Delegates to the Ma
lional Convention are to be elected. Each
county to hold their County Convention
according to their owD rules. The date
on which said primary elections shall be
held shall be fixed by the Chairmen of
the respective County Committees of
each of the counties in said district at a
meeting regularly called for that purpose,
and the majority of said Chairmen shall
be competent to fix such date, and shall
be ct least one month before holding the
primary elections"
1t will thus be seen that the matter of
fixing the time for holding primary cleo
tons in years when a congressman is to
be nominated is in the hands of the chair
man of the several counties. The pri-
maries will likely be fixed at a much
earlier date than has heretofore prevailed
in this county, in view of the fact that it
has been practically settled to hold the
State convention on the 9th of April this
year. 1t is probable, therefore, that our
primaries will take place some time in
the latter part OF March.
The date as agreed ugon by the chair
man will lie announced next week.
Chairman Geo. w. Osgood is representing
Forest county at the Warren conference.

Cronin called at the Myers home. Lat

task for his action. A fight followed
and Lafferty had Cronin down and
was choking him when the latter drew
a revolver and fired two shots, both
taking effect. One went through the

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
o%yerdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free eXpectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
Weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhans-
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive. can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you he able to 90 to a warmer cline, you
Will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
htted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c

THE Fifty Eighth Congress resumed
It's session on January 4th, at noon. Not
more than half the members were pres
ent and the movement was sluggish.
The House will wait for the a~ppropria-
ton bills to be reported from committees
and Republican leaders discourage othel
legislation. Shoots case will have to be
decided in the Senate, and the Panama ca
nal treaty will be given a tiresome dis
cussion. Senator Lodges speech eulogiz-
ing the Presidents action as necessar 2
and even conservative, was followed by
Senator Morgan who is always prepared
to speak in behalf of the Nicaragua route.
1t is probable that not much will be
talked about but the Panama canal in
either House for some weeks.

ONE of the most interesting points in
the Presidents special message to Con-
gress is his disclaimer of any completely,
on the part of this Government, in the
revolution in Panam. On this sobiect
he says: ~ hesitate to refer to the in
furious ~insinuations which have been
made of completely by this Government
in the revolution in Panama. They are
as destitute of foundation as of propriety.
The only excuse for my mentioning
them is the fear lest unthinking persons
might mistake for acquiescence the ST.
lence Of mere self respect. / think proper
to say, therefore, that no one connected
with this Government had any part in
preparing, melting or encouraging the
late revolution on the Isthmus of Pana-
ma"

This session of Congress will witness
another effort of territories 10
get their promised statehood. The House
committee evinces a willingness to let in
Arizona and New Mexico as n State,
and Oklahoma and Indian Ter. as an
other. This compulsory marriage they do
not quite like in fact the two first named
have given notice that they revolt against
1t and will repudiate ii If it is offered them.
There are at least two men in each terri
tory who think they would measur up
the full stature of Senators, and they are
disinclined to take turns. II is believed
that if these territories were admitted as
States this year they would all vote the
Republican ticket. In fact, the Demo-
cratic party, which carried most of the
territory in 1856, seems to have entirely
lost its grip upon the West.
