The difference between a bolter in politics and an insurgent is as broad as the Pacific The first is disorganiznr of his party: man who believes that he is wiser than the combined wisdom of the party of which he claims to lr a member; who would disrupt the or ganiZation of the party to further his own selfish ends, and does not hesitate at the means he employs or tEp methods his egotsm may suggest: a political renegade without pride of an cestrN or hope of postcrity Whereas. an insurgent is simply fighting within his party lines to change conditicus that may bc obnoxious to his constitU- ency. if he be in office he upholds the party of his choice but contends against it's methods. The people are with him, all adhercnts of the organ ization, loyal to its principles and eyer in the front for it's success. and wien successful at the polls fights within thc party lines The old Democratic party before the war furnishes an example: The Northern Democrats Were opposed to the policy of the Southern relative 10 slavery but stayed with the party organization until the War of the Re hcllion was certainty; then. while still adhering to the principles of the Democratic party, they parted com pany and became known as war Dem ccrats." The present insurgent fight in tine Republican party is another striking illustration of the differences they are making their struggle within the organization, not against it.

In politics the little factions that spring up like weeds and try to palm themselves off as shoots of the old root that is passing into decay are like the man who crows too loudly. They must sooner or later knucllle down and ca their crow In the menu that is pre- pared by the G. o. P, the only logical course for such bolters is a good roast, and plenty of it. for it goes well after their boast.

If the bridge over Snake river is now in good condition for the Summer traffic and supposed to be in ship shape. the work does not reflect any credit upon the chairman of the street department of our city on the con trary. it demands the immediate atten- penter to put the same in safe condi-

 The bridge now has a drop of sev-
 eral inches between the north and south spans. where they meet in the center over the river, and the pounding the bridge will receive from the heavy

words stamped on copper cent dat

man. That was one of the first bits of
money coined in the United States,
and it is significant in many ways, but
If that motto had been used more
| freely in this country In the past doz-
en- years there would have been less
panic. There would of been less ex-
pense for war preparations in late
years. Il. w. Rowell, Of Brunswick,
owner of the old cion, says men have
offered him 5000 for 1t, but he refuses
to sell. He says his mother gave 1t to
him many years ago with the lnjunc-
tion to keep 1t as long as he lived and
study 1t often with especial attention
to the motto. He has found that good
advice. He pays little attention to the
word lucio that Is also stamped on the
coin, as that Is Latin for II shine"
and he is not in that business. On

bossed chain with 13 links for the old
