Peoples Party Convention.

Populism is first in the field with National cor
vention call. The National committee of the Peo-
pies party has named the I'd of April as the open
ing day of the convention and ST. Louis as the
place for the gathering.
The committee issued an address to the voters
OF the country, in which both Republcanism anil
Democracy were commended for following populi,-
tic teachings and welcomed converts to the best
political philosophy that the Nation has been served
with For sixteen years, says the committee the
Peoples party has held unswervingy to its original
principles and it still believes them necessary to the
stability of the country. Continuing the committee
says
Money land and transportation constituted
the original trinity of reform held aloft by the Peo
pies party convention at Omaha an adequate cir
rency issued direct by the Government and not re-
deemabe IN any other kind of money; land held for
actual settlers, and not subject to speculation and
alien ownership railroads and telegraphs owned
and operated by the Government
TO these three cardinal principles were added iii.
rect legislation through the initiative and referen-
dum the recall and proportional representation;
popular election of the President, Vice President,
United States and Federal Judges Postal sav,noS
banks and the parcels post and the right of labor to
organize, to demand shorter day and to insist on
tar and just share of the products of its own toll
While popullSm has not impressed its views on
legislation to any appreciate extent what it de-
clareS IS than tolerated. when in the
beginning it laughed out of court The partv
has not been able to hold its membership together
in sufficient numbers to render its organization for
midable, yet its teachings have been valuable to the
country and in the elimination of new National in
tentions they will enter into statutory regulation
The Populists of St. Louis next April may not
offer anything new, but they will offer consistent
devotion to principles that do not die

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.
A Voice from the Past.

President Buchanan, in his message to
Congress of December 8, 1857, explanatory
of his official acts in connection with the
government of Utah, said:
AS chief magistrate l was bound to re-
store the supremacy of the Constitution and
laws within its limits. In order to effect
this purpose | appointed a new Governor
and other Federal officers for Utah, and sent
them with military force for their protec-
ton and to aid as posse comitatus in case
OF need in the execution of the laws
Whilst Governor Young has been both Gov
ernor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs
he has been at the same time head
OF the church called the "L,atter-Day Saints"
and processes to govern its members and dis
pose OF their property by direct inspiration
and authority from the Almighty His power
has been therefore absolute over the church
and state. All the officers of the
United States, judicial and executive, with
the exception of two Indian agents. have
found it necessary for their personal safety
two withdraw from the territory, as there
no longer remains any government in Utah
but the despotism of Brigham Young"

almost daily unearthing relics of the Greek and

OF Professor Ganneau's diggers, an official docu-
ment OF the seventeenth year of Darius addressed
to the Persian governor of Judea by the Jewish
priests of the Temple of Elephanta The docu-
ment is long and interesting, but its inestimable
value lies in the fact that it calls up historical fig

priest of jerusalem and Sanbaat, the governor of
Samaria

has been decphered by Professor Sachau of Berlin.

Democratic Doctrine.

In an address before gathering of Democrats at
the National capital a recent OCCASION William
Bryan, now accepted as the Democratic Presidential
candidate for the struggle of 1908, commended the
course of President Roosevelt in his espousal of
Democratic doctrine pointing out the Democratic
policies he had adopted and the Democratic policies
he had not adopted, but could adopt with great re-
lief to machne-ridden people,
The things the President has borrowed from Dem
ocratlc philosophy Mr.. Bryan said, were railroad
regulation, enforcement of laws against trusts an
income tax and arbitration in labor disputes And
1t is upon these doctrines, taken with 1arcenous eff
tect from the new Democratic creed that Mr.. Roose-
welt must base the popularity that is calling upon
him from the common ranks of Republicanism to
violate precedent and his pledged word and become
their candidate for third term in the White House
The masses of the Republican party believe sim
cerey in the policies that have made their National
leader their choice above all his compatriots and
they feel assured that no other man among the
shining lights of their party representatives can be
depended upon to continue the work that Mr. Roose-
welt has begun. 1t is in this mood of mind that they
are c1nglng to the hope that he will relent and
stult1ty himself and depart from the letter of the
unwrten law proclaimed through the example of
Washington and some of his early successors
1t may not be an unnteresting suggestion that Mr.
Bryan who is to be the Democratic Presidential
candidate, believes in all the reforms that have shed
ustre on the name of Theodore Roosevelt believed
IN them years before they adopted by Re-
publican President and declared that he would en-
orce them should the voters of the Nation clothe
him with authority
Mr. Bryan is in favor of other improvements in
he administration of government and he mentioned
hem in his Washington address as among the de-
lnquences of President Roosevelt, namely: E1ec-
ion of Senators by direct vote of the people; in
dependence of the Philippines; readustment of tariff
egislaton and removal of burdens that protected
monopoly imposes the public.
Mr.. Bryan therefore believes in all the interesting
1ings that Mr.. Roosevelt believes in and in several
Interesting things that Mr.. Roosevelt does not be-
eve 1n as they are accepted by the mass of Repub-

licanism considered apart from the Republican ma
chine. So if Mr.. Roosevelt declines to be a candi-
date for third term and the Republican party fails
to find, as it will, any other candidate that measures
up to his standard it will be able to serve the coun
try as WE'LL or better by assisting Mr. Bryan into the
White House
This line of reasoning is prompted by outcroppings
OF public sentiment the country over and is merely
reflection from the mirror of Republican opinion.

That Other Cold April.

Hope Dispatch: Speaking Of the
item in the last issue Of the Dispatch
relative to the cold weather In April
1873, Geo. Borman says he will never
forget it. He had a lot Of southern
cattle and the weather was so bad the
COWS would not own their calves. He
tried hard to save them and for sever
al days kept seven calves in the
house, but the cows never would own
them again and they all finally died.
II we remembe right, that is the
year ]. B. Case lost every dollar he
had by the loss Of a lot Of those cattle
and was many dollars worse off than
nothing and many others lost every
thing they had but their families.
