What Boomers Ferry Secured.

The last issue Of the Bonners
Ferry Progress contains a vicious
attack on the Republican admin
istration of Kootenai county.
coupled with personal attack on
what it is pleased to term "Tay-
Tor Delegation"
In reply it is first necessary to
note what the Bonners Ferry Pro-
gress is: 1t is an alleged "Inde-
pendent Newspa per-" whose edi-
torial utterances are dictated by a
Republican who is trying to down
the so-called Taylor delegation in
Bonners Ferry. No man is worthy
of a moments consideration from
Republicans who would have pub
lishec such a false and malicious
attack on the Republican admin
istration
They ask, What has Boomers
Ferry obtained i'll the last TWO
years?
Bonners Ferry has had an APP
preparation of $40) for the road
leading from the town limits up
the hill towards Moravia. The
present Republican administration
is spending $1,000 on the road
from Boomers Ferry to Crossport.
The present Republican admins
tration appropriated $1,000 to es-
tablish better ferry facilities across
the Kootenai at Bonners Ferry.
The fact that the water came up
before the work was completed and
took out some of the unfinished
work before it could be secured will
not condemn the commissioners
when it is recalled that others,
lumbermen for instance, have mis-
judged the Kootenai, and lost
thousands of dollars.
The ferry improvement work
will be completed, and it will prove
u blessing to the people of the
North Side. who will resent any
attack on the commissioners who
have honestly endeavored to i'm
prove their facilities for crossing
the river. In addition to the
above there was 1850 expended on
the Moyie bridge, besides other
roads and bridges too numerous to
mention.

VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION

Exclusion of Negroes From . Grand Jury
Trying Negro.
Washington, Jan. 18.-The United
States Sepreine Court again today
re-affirmed the ruling made in the
case of Carter VS.. The State of
Texas 10 the effect that the exclusion
Of negroes from grand juries in cases
involving criminal charges against
mem oers of their race is violation
Of the Constitution and therefore
not permissible. The decision was
delivered by Justice Holmes in the
cases Of Rogers VS.. The State OF
Alabama. Rogers is resident OF
Alabama and he was indicted for
murder by grand jury composed
entirely of white men from which
it is charged that all negroes were
excluded because of their color. The
Supreme Court of the State upheld
the regularity of the proceeding
but Rogers brought it to the Fedora
Court on a writ eff error with the
re ult that the decision of the State
Court was reversed and the case re
manded to the State courts for
further proceedings not inconsistent
with tOday's opinion.

WHY DIR TAXES ARE HIGHER.

everywhere the Republicans are
telling the people that this Demo
cratic administration has increased
taxation. This is untrue. The State
tax rate is not higher than in 1896
and 1898. If the rate is higher in
any county it is because the people
in that county have voted to tax
themselves for roads, schools Or
some other improvement News
and Observer.
Well if it is not true that the tax
rate is higher why didn't you have
the nerve and backbone and enough
love for the truth to tell the tax
payers what is true. The Demo-
cratic machine did not increase the
tax rate last year for the simple
reason that it was already as high as
the law would allow, with special
taxes tagged on in nearly every
county. But the Democratic ma
chine created new Offices, increased
the salaries of the party pets, spent
the States money to defend regis
trars who had helped them carry
the State by force and fraud and all
this extra money had to come from
somewhere. So as they could not
make the tax rate any higher they
decided to raise the valuation of the
peoples property sufficient to make
the taxes on same meet all their
demands. And this they did with
a vengeance. In many instances
the tax valuation of property was
doubled. But the News and Obser.
yer did not tell its readers this, il
simply said that the tax rate had
not been raised and stopped right
there. What difference does it make
to the farmer or the business mar
whether the tax rate has been raised
or whether false value has beer
placed upon his property to make
him pay more taxes. He knows hi
has to pay more tax this year thar
he did in 1896, and he also knows
that this Democratic red shirt 'gOo(
government" brigade is responsible
for it.

Ex-senator G. D. Barringer, of
Cabarrus county, has severed his
with the Simmons ma
chine. Mr.. Bafringer was one of
the seven Democratic Senators In
the Legislature of 1897. A repre-
sentative Of the Shelby Aurora had
an interview with Mr.. Barringer a
few days ago as to why he left the
Democratic party. The following
is part of the interview:
"The extravaganza and bad
management Of the Democratic
party in the conduct of the State
government was the immediate
cause Of my action but there were
other remote causes. / thought the
Democratic party was party Of re-
trenchment, but found it to be the
reverse. / remembered that Demo
cratic committee, who examined the
books Of the Fusionists, when they
were turned over to the Democrats,
said that there was in the Treasury,
after all appropriations had been
paid, lus Of more than $780,
900. No sooner did the party that
/ had loved SO much assume the
reins Of government than it began
to squander the surplus and create a
deficit. / saw one Legislature issue
$4,000 in bonds and another
100000. I saw them borrow 5000,
900 from a New York bank. l saw
them borrow 100000 from the
Literary Fund for the public schools;
and after all this, a deficit remained
Then what did l see? The Corpora
ton Commissioners going over the
State to instruct the assessors how tC
raise the valuation of lands-and
for what purpose? To meet their
deficit and to enable them to build
an addition to the State Capital
which is not needed. They propose
spending 100000 on this building
while there are hundreds of insane
in our jails unable to get into oul
asylums for want of funds to sup
port them. These are few Of the
acts of the State government that
could not tolerate any longer"
One by one the conservative mer
in the Democratic party are leaving
it and it will be only a short while
before the old ssSimmOns machine
will have to be laid up for repairs.
