NEW ROAD LAW.

The road law passed by the last
legislature adds to the duties OF
the county commissioners without
increasing the salaries Of these
officials. The law requires their
personal visitation and inspection
of public roads in their respective
districts, gives them control over
district road overseers and pro-
vides for the holding Of special
meetings for the consideration OF
road questions, and provides PEN
alties for failure on the part OF
commissioners to perform their
duties as specified.
The com missioners shall meet IN
special session on the second Mon
day in May and September for the
consideration Of questions pertain
ing to their new duties. Each
member OF the board must submit
a report of the condition of the
roads in his district, the work
needed thereon and an estimate OF
the cost to be incurred.
Any county commissioner who
shall willfully or negligently fail to
perform any Of the duties described
in the bill will be subject to q fine
not less than $50 or more than 5000,
to be recovered upon his official
bond by action brought by the
prosecuting attorney Of the county
wherein the delinquent commits
siOner resides.

\ NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE

The average reader would readily
suppose that all the possible combi-
nations OF offensive and defensive
alliances between the nations had
been made.
France has . diplomatic alliance
with Russia: Germany, Austria and
Italy are in the Dreibund; Japan
and Great Britain are now allied;
Great Britain and France has an
entente cOndiale''-whatever that
is. Yet the diplomats of Europe
and Great Britain have now figured
out q new triple alliance which
strengthens all those in force, and
comes nearer making war impos.
sible in Europe than ever before.
The new alliance has Spain for
the moving factor, with France
and Great Britain as parties to it.
Each party to the new triangular
agreement gains much. Spain
gains the protection of the English
and French nsvies to her own
shores, her own commerce, and
her African colonies, including the
Canary Islands.
France, thus allied with Spain
and Great Britain, may feel that
Algeria and Tunis are safe from
any enemy, and that her naval
stations at Toulon, Bizerta and
Oran are beyond the reach Of any
combination OF enemies. But
greater still, France can now see
the time when local distur Dances
on the West Coast of Africa will
push Morocco into her possession,
with the German navy powerless
against the combined British and
French fleets to interfere.
Al first glance the profit to Great
Britain in this agreement does not
appear. A little thought, however
shows q positive gain. One is an
added safety for Gibraltar-that
rock which British sentiment
declares impregnable, but which is
said by some military engineers to
be within the power Of force to
reduce and capture.
No longer will Spanish sentries,
patroling on the land side of the
rock, call the hour and add the
historic phrase: "And Gibraltar
temporarily in the hands of the
British" Making an ally Of
Great Britain puts out of the
question an attack from the land
side Of the fortress, while British
and French ships guard the sea APP
proaches.
The alliance also shuts the
Straits Of Gibraltar against Malta
or threaten the invaluable Suez
route to India, Burmah, the Straits
Settlements and Hongkong. This
combining Of armies and navies
not only deters the energetic ones
in the council chambers from seek
ing war; it also leads the diplomats
and statesmen to thinking along
instead OF destructive
lines.
Instead Of quarreling over
and streams, and forests
now in existence those men must
study out ways Of creating new
avenues of trade, new colonies and
new industries.
An alliance is a confession that
each party to it is vulnerable in
some point, and that each prefers
agreed peace to a chance Of
war. Thus the now triple alliance
is step in the worlds progress.

the puzzle of humanity since Adam.
1t is a wise provision of nature,
no doubt. this nomadic impulse to
move on, for it has peopled the de-
serts and made the waste places of
the earth to blossom, but, all the
same, it has generally proven to
be rough experience for the origin
al nomad, although it turned out
all right for his defendants, or
rather those who came after him.
Originally the United States was
but ribbon Of settlement along
the Atlantic, as every school boy
knows, and, while there were pio-
neering offshoots continually west
ward, some of them great enough
to establish states, it was not un.
til the homestead law was passed
in the early COS that it obtained
the character of a permanent natl
onal movement, and really not
then for the great war was on and
it was not until the armies disban-
ded that the real movement began.
Slowly perhaps in the life OF man
but rapidly in the course of nations,
the homesteaders peopled what
were then called "barren deserts,
nearly to the submits of the
Rockies, then quickly down the
western slopes they forced their
way until they linked connection
with their gold hunting brothers of
the Pacific coast and made us what
we never were before-a homo.
geneous nation from ocean to
ocean. This stupendous move
ment of the people was not antici-
pated when the homestead law was
passed, and the quick acquisition
of the land and the pressure for
more forced the purchase of
reserve after reserve from the
Indian, and will continue to
force them until there are no
more Indian reservations left upon
the map of the United States. In
November, 1895, after long and
difficult negotiation, this Nezperce
reservation was purchased and
opened to settlement. 1t was not
considered by adjacent whites as
particularly desirable because of
it's elevation, and it is remembered
by many men living here now,
that the people of Camas prairie
and from the valley country of the
Clearwater and Snake, refused to
take homesteads upon it because
they said they knew it was too
cold for home comforts and too
frigid for crops, and it is doubtful
If there would have been any rush
whatever to the opening OF this
reservation had it not been that
our neighbors over in the Palouse

A DEMOCRAT.

William J. Bryan was recently
asked by the New York World tt
define "what is a democrat?" In
answer these are some of the senti.
ments expressed by the great lead.
er of democracy:
"The word democracy is derived
from the Greek, and the two words
demos the people, and krateo-
to rule, leave no doubt that a demo-
cracy is a government in which
the people rule. A democrat,
therefore, if the meaning of the
name is considered, must be one
who believes in the rule of the
people.
"One who believes in the right
OF the people to rule and in the
capacity of the people for self-gov-
eminent naturally accepts the fun
dsmental Democratic doctrine of
local self-government that is.
that the people can govern best
where they best understand con-
ditions.
1.-The Democrat believes that
the individual should be left to
choose his own course except where
his action would injuriously affect
Others; that each community should
attend to its own matters; that the
state should have control of state
affairs, and that the federal govern
ment should be supreme in it's
sphere.
''If man is really democratic
in sentiment-that is, if he really
believes in the rule of the people,
this belief dominates him in the
consideration Of all questions that
come before the people.
"He looks at questions from the
standpoint Of the whole people and
not from the standpoint of a few.
His conceptions Of society is that it
is built from the bottom, not from
the top. While the aristocrat pic
lures prosperity as dripping down
to the masses from the well-to- do,
the Democrat cannot imagine
prosperity that does not begin with
the producers of wealth.
"To recapitulate, a Democrat,
according to a party definition, is a
man who connects himself with
the Democratic party and acts po-
litically with those who bear the
same party name. In a broader
sense, he is a Democrat who be.
ieves in the rule of the people and
who desires to make the govern
mont the instrument in the hands
o. the people to carry out their
will. Such man trusts the
people, and favors such reforms as
will give to the people an increas-
ing power. And a real Democrat
will not only favor Democratic
methods in government and insist
upon the right of the majority to
rule, but will favor the administra-
ton of the government in the in
terest of the whole people accord
ing to the Jeffersonian maxim.
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none"
The democratic party stands to-
day and always has stood for the
people. The right of predatory
wealth to rule the masses, is a doc
trine that finds no place in the
teachings Of the democratic party.
IL has been the democratic party
that has waged political battles for
the common people while the re-
publican party is recognized as the
party of the rich. Its politics
have fOstered the trusts and gi-
gantic corporations.
The democratic party believes in
the rule of the people, not in the
rule of corporations. 1t believes
in the rights of individual citizens,
and that the humblest laborer is
entitled to consideration the same
- the plutocrat. 1t champions
the cause of the people.
