Mr.. Watterson, is still trying 10 ex-
plain his bid for the colored vote,
which he has for years insisted is a
fungus vote and should be obli-
terated. His latest consists of a three
column editorial, which boiled down is
an invitation to the negroes TO vote the
Democratic ticket, simply TO see how
they would feel the morning after. Nj
Watterson knows full well now il
feels the morning after, and could if
he would, write many columns TO en-
tighten not only tile colored people,
but all his readers as well along this
line.

Voters in comparing the panic of the
1893, will no doubt remember that under
the Cleveland panic we not only had
no money, but everything farmer had
to sell was at the lowest prices ever
known in this country, and that wage
earners could get no work at any
price. The recent trouble seems to
have been only money scare, result
ing in the boarding up of large amounts
of money in the banks and an unwil-
lingness on the part of the banks to
furnish loans. Prices have not ma
terially fallen on any products of the
farm, nor have wages decreased, al
though in some localities laborers have
been thrown out of employment
through tie shutting down of facto-
ries. All this has been caused solely
by the threats to revise the tariff,
along lines which would destroy the
protective principle, this has been
the result Of every effort TO revise the
tariff in the history ofthe country and
the severity or length of the business
depression las kept pace with tie
severity of the attack upon the tariff.
1t will continue to do SO, and should
Mr.. Bryan be elected president, even
with a Republican Senate in the way,
the business of the country will be at
a standstill for four years, or until it
it demonstrated, whether or not Il De-
mocratic low tariff president is back
ed up, eventually, by low tariff De-
mocratic Congress.

One by one the troublesome quarrels
of the Republicans in a number of

Virginia had been happily compromis-
ed and now the good news comes that
factional troubles in Tennessee. have
been satisfactory settled, and Tillman,

After all. the Lincoln idea about a
Protective tariff is an argument which
cannot be answered, that is when we
send our money abroad for an article.
we get the article, the foreign manu-
facturer and foreign laborer, vino pro-
duced it, the money. When it is pro-
duced in America, we keep the money
and the article both on this side of the
water, while the laborer who profits
by the wages is enabled to buy the
products of the farm for his table, and
school books for his children. No vo-
ter should be fooled on a question
like this.

CITY BchoOlboys and the Farms.
A false report was recently circulat-
ed to the effect that there were $500
high school boys In New York city and
vicinity who wished to pass the vaea-
ton weeks work ting on farms. II turn
ed out on investigation that about that
number Of students are leaving the
high schools this year for good and
that some OF them would be glad to
ind places to work for wages Doubt
less there are but few of them who
would take up farm work and perhaps
fewer still who could earn more than
their board on a farm the first year.
The report that there were $500
boys waiting for Jobs was given cur
rency the more readily because the
authorities said to be behind this
movement experimental last year In q
small way and placed a few high
school boys upon farms with fair re-
suits. But the success OF a selected
few furnishes no criterion for school
boys as they average In cities. They
not only draw the line sharply at the
farm ms a place for a career, but they
hate the farm and all connected with
1t. OF course this antipathy to the
farm II foolish and Il the result Of
false education. II the attempt to get
boys back to the land could be made
in the lower schools, perhaps when the
boy came to leave high school he
would be ready to engage in farm
work for life. The boy OF twelve or
fourteen who is sturdy can be Of use
on a farm and is teachable. II his
school vacations could be passed in the
country. his objections to farm life
would vanish by the time he was
ready to drop books for good. say at
seventeen or eighteen. Both farm and
boy would be helped by closer ac-
quaintance, but the initiation should
be made before the boy has taken to
kid gloves and parting his hair in the
middle.

INLAND NOW BUSY
They Are Investigating the Little
POtlafch.


They Are Investigating the Little
Potlatch.
The Lewiston Tribune says that
adyices reached the city yesterday
that a crew of Spokane & Inland
electric surveyors are now engaged
running survey down the Little
Potlatch creek. Over a year ago,
when seeking a route into Lewiston
valley, the Inland ran a line down
the Little Potlatch and the object
OF the present work is understood
to be to secure more complete data.
The work deals with the extension
Of the Inland from its Palouse
country terminals TO Lewiston and
Charleston. The fact that the Little
Potlatch is again being Investigated
shows that three routes are being
considered. The other two comprise
the Hatwai creek and Steptoe can
yon routes. IL the extension is
made from Colfax the Steptoe can
yOh WOuiA w TIC hlOEC convenient
II from Moscow, the Hatwai route,
by way of Genesse, or the Little
Potlatch route would be chosen.
Preliminary data on each of these
routes has been in the possession
of the company for long period.
The Little Potlatch strikes the
main Potlatch near Juliaetta. This
route was Investigated many years
ago by the o. r. & N. when that
line contemplating extending its
line here from Moscow, and later
by the Northern Pacific prior to the
latter building it's line down
the main Potlatch. At the time the
Northern Pacific built, 1t was stated
that the road passed up the Little
Potlatch route because of the
heavy construction work that would
be encountered in the box canyon
sections, but that otherwise the
route was superior to that of the
main Potlatch. 1t has even been
said that the company, on account
OF heavy damages met by washouts
on the main stream, necessitating
practically a rebuilding of the en-
tire line, has frequently regretted
that the Little Potlatch had not been
adopted for the entrance to the
Lewiston valley. Should the Inland
accept this route, the preliminary
surveys made last year show the
line would strike the level of the
Clearwater at a point a short dis
lance below Arrow Junction.
The Inland road is now devoting
permanent attention to the extern
sion to be made in this territory and
an announcement along these lines
by President Jay p. Graves is short
ly expected.

THAT PEDDLER's LICENSE.

The Press has published the fact
that the amended peddler's license
law Of this city does not discriminate
against the farmer or any person
raising vegetables for sale whether
they sell to the merchant or ped
die them direct to the people. The
ordinance was intended to shut out
persons who shipped vegetables from
Walla Walla and other points that
are raised by Chinese and sold by
them in this city In competition with
the farmer. The Cinnamon have
abandoned the field since the ordin-
ance became a law, and the farmer
or gardner who raises his own stun
for sale can come to the city and
peddle 1t to the citizens without
paying one cent OF a license fee, In
fact the ordinance is benefit and
a protection to the gardner and far
mer, as II removes the competition
of the cheap Chinese truck from the
market.
The circulation OF the false report
among farmers OF the prairie that
they would be held up for a license
in this city Is the work OF a paid
peddler of falsehood by the Rath-
drum county seat club and shows the
extremeties to which they are pushed
for an argument against removal.
GraspIng at straws they did not stop
to see that the peddling OF such rot
would be found to be false and re-
act on them more than 1t would In
lure Occur d'Alene. With $500
names now on the county seat re-
moval petitions circulated by Occur
d'Alene. and at least 1000 more to
be easily secured we do not wonder
at Rathdrum's graspIng at straws
while gasplng for breath. But
lies circulated by paid liars will
add to rather than detract from the
votes for this city, Farmers are
welcome to bring their produce here
for sale and peddIe II in any manner
they see At. Rathdrum must take
another tack. She cannot fool
the people all the time by her ghost
dancing.
