Bryan Unmasked.

The public that easily interested at this stage OF
the campaign will not fail to be attracted by the
divining power of the Boise Statesman, which was
almost occult in the far-sensing instincts of its issue
of the 18th inst
1t was in that issue that it stripped the mask from
the countenance of William J. Bryan and exposed the
sixteen to one expression it says he carries behind
a deceitfu1 pretense of nonchaence the subject
of silver coinage
It found if veracious real, od-tme bimetallic
hardness of facial lines that spoke of deeply deter
mined intention to "fost free silver on the people
after having delusivey secured their consent to his
occupancy of the white house
The Statesman made haste to sound the alarm in
the midst of the voters Of Idaho, most of whom
had abandoned all hope of boom in the silver
market but will take courage and redoube
their interest in the election of Mr.. Bryan.
There is but one person in the coterie of Idahos
remarkable republicans that The Statesman considers
worthy of its aduation-Senator Borah. Upon him
it lavishes the wealth of allegiance that other
are permitted to share.
He too will be delighted over the unmasking of
Bryan, for he has clung to the silver god with
tenacty that has strengthened him materially with
a mining constituency. If the Boise paper has made
an accurate disclosure it will be apt to find Mr.
Borah hiding behind the same mask of glorious de-
Cept1On tfdt curtains the OF
presidential candidate.
It was further revealed by The Statesman that
deep in the secret heart of Mr. Bryan was concealed
an intention to spring the dogma of free trade up
the republic at the psychological instant and
sweep the fabric of protection into the deep of
destruction.
Over this possibility also Mr.. Borahs organ ought
to rejoice for he is so much of free trader that
one can scarcely understand his afiation with the
republican party.
There is a deal of inconsistency in the exhibition
of this twin scarecrow by the Boise paper and deal
of disregard for the welfare of industrial Idaho in
exposing Mr. Bryans intention-if he is plotting for
the resurrection of the bimetallic standard.

Another Court Decision.

Another stumbling block has been cast before the
feet of justice by federal court The United States
circuit court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania
has dismissed the suits of the government against
the coal carrying railroads of Pennsylvania
Action was brought under the clause in the Hep
burn act that prohibits railroad companies in inter
state traffic from transporting commodities manufac-
tured or mined by them The court declared that
portion of the law to be unconstitutional in that
was drastic harsh and unreasonable in an invasion of
the rights of the states
So the railroads of the state of PENNSYLVANIA or Of
any other state transport their own coal to the
abiding places of consumers and employ all the arts
OF traffic to shut out other coal operators and secure
a complete monopoly of one of life's necessities
If railroad corporations can mine and transport
COAL they may manufacture and transport any other
necessity and enjoy transportation advantage that
Will destroy all non-rairoad owning competitors
and give the railroad corporations the exclusive right
to deal in the things manufactured bv them
The government is gaining nothing in its efforts to
regulate transportation corporations and other trusts
1t is all the time encountering the mpediment of the
courts
The attorney general will take appeal in this in
stance to the federal supreme court and the case will
there be finally settled
There has not existed any large degree of conf
dence in the enactment known as the Hepburn act.
1t was passed under pressure of administration and
popular sentiment and was fashioned by legislators
known to be unfrendy to the attempt to regulate
railroads and curb trusts
1t was drawn by the enemies of reform and sub
servient tools Of the interests who assumed charge
OF obnoxious measures when it became evident that
something must be attempted to appease popular de-
mand. The rest was left to the courts and thev are
doing all that could reasonably have been expected

A Platform Worth Reading.

Jamestown Alert: Col. Little is an
old-timer and familiar with the needs
of the people of all parts of the state.
His platform discusses practical ques
tions that relate to the continued de-
velopment of the state and the condi-
tions as they now exist. 1t is worth
reading by all who would inform
themselves on the position of the va
rious candidates for this important
Office. There is one noticeable fea-
ture of the platform that commends
it to strong approval. It is an absence
of cheap political abuse of other can
didates and party leaders of other fac.
tions of the party, under whose vari-
GUS administrations the state has
progressed from territorial infancy to
f1ourishing youth. All fair-minded
republicans will approve of this po
sition taken by any candidate for pub
lie favors, as there is no crying abuse
in the state that calls for correction
