Many a man now living In the In land Empire remembers having clung to his mother's apron In fear, when ' the name of Chief Joseph was men- tioned back In the summer of 1877. That was a tragic and eventful war. and marked the surrender of the last stronghold In the Inland Empire by the Indians. When Joseph was e lled from "Wallowa, the task of con quering the wilderness In Eastern Oregon was practically complete.

United States, because of lta enor nioua profits from the tariff, and the location of lts'lnterest In politics may be Jutlged from the fact that this trust has contributed $250,000 to the Oortelyou campaign fund, to nld In the election of Mr. Roosevelt. If the perpetuation of the tariff nt Its ent high rate means so great returns for the trusts, It Is reasonable to bup pose that they will contribute to Its perpetuation. If the sale of protect ed goods did not yield such enormous returns. Is It reasonable to suppose that the combinations would be In terested In keeping the high tariff In force? The man who consumes the protected article pays this campaign fund by which the trust hopes to per petuate the profitable high tariff principle. A splendid triumph has Just been won by the Boise Capital News over a certain element In the democratic party In Idaho. A faction of the dem ocrats In favor of the Mormon ele ment had condemned the News and had virtually read it out of the party, because of Us Independence nnd of their failure to dictate Its policy. At the recent county convention In Boise a resolution was adopted Indorsing the policy and the democracy of the News nnd condemning those who had made war on the paper because of Its Independence. This Is a triumph for Independence In Journalism, which Is worthy of more than passing notice. The tendency is to make every news paper subservient to some personal ruction In politics and If It asserts Its Independence, then to begin a war of extermination and a general boycott upon It. There Is no room In Journal ism for the tool In 20th century poll tics. Independence nnd fearlessness nnd a moral backbone which stands up against the most radical man or element in the community, If needs be, are to be commended. There Is no place for the fawning pap sucker and the narrow partisan in the Intel ligent community. In the Philadelphia Inquirer of September S. Is an alarming showing of the effects of steamship rate cut ting war in the character of steerage jmssongers of the steamer Western land. Of the S00 patenger8. 625 were registered In the steerage de partment and none of them had to imy over J7.76 fare. The steamship companies have been reducing the steerage rates and as a consequence there lias been a steady Influx of Im migrants Into this country. The uc tual amount of money that goes Into the hands of the steamship company Is only JS.75 out of every fare. The remaining H Is divided between the agent who sells the ticket In Europe and the United States government. Hitherto one board of Inspectors has been sufficient to copt- with the prob lem of examining afenBers. but three art now required. This low rate has attracted hundreds of paupers from the poorest quarter of Europe an cities and made an alarmingly great rush Into this country. Just why American voters tolerate this evil without attempting to stem It Is In comprehensible, as no other problem of the day will have the fur-reaching mill disastrous results that this deluge of immigrants will produce. DROUGHT IN EUROPE. The severe drought which Is In flicting European countries lias had various injurious effects. It has caused frequent and large conflugara tlons; it has stopped river navigation entirely in many districts, causing a scarcity of fruits und garden truck, coal, wood, etc., and greatly advanced prices; It has forced works operated by water power to cease running. But It Is particularly the Insufficiency of feedstuffs for cattle and horses which causes anxiety in ngricutiural and commercial circles. The governments of Bulgaria and Houmanla have already Issued de crees prohibiting the exportation of corn and other cattle feed. Excep tional freight rates, amounting to a reduction of about 50 per cent, are given by Hungarian and Prussian railroads for corn and feedstuffs. The beef and pork supply wilt be dimin ished, as farmers are adverse to pay ing high prices for the feed required for raising stock. Servla and Austrla-nungary also have Issued decrees prohibiting the exportation of corn, hay, and other feedstuffs. The order of the Austro Hungarlan government Is most rigid nnd sweeping, as it Includes, In addi tion, bran and barley, potatoes and beans, oil cake, clover nnd the husks, dregs and waste materials, even In cluding swill, which can serve as food for animals. Roumanla and Austria-Hungary have heretofore been the principal European sources of supply for com and feedstuffs for the other countries of Western Europe. This source of supply now being closed, Germany, Italy, France. Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and England, as well as the Scandinavian countries, will have to depend principally upon the United states and, to a smaller extent, upon Argentina for food for their cattle nnd horses. Livestock World. Some folks are determined to domi nate or die, and as there are few who rise to the first degree there are many who fall to the second. Russia will assure the United States In a forthcoming note that she does not Intend to prey upon American commerce during the war. THE LITTLE COAT.

It Is easy to sit In your carriage And counsel the man on foot; But get down and walk nnd you'll change your talk As you feel the peg In your boot.

There is no rea sq;i why people should not have the same expectancy of age to-day, except for the neglect and abuse of the one organ on which all the- other organs depend the stomach.

In a letter written from -101 Slxty- soventh street, W., Chicago, III., Mrs. I'lelinrty says the following In regard to I'cruna: "Having lived a very active life ns wlfo and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed tne a few years ago. I lost my husband about the samo timo, and gradually 1 seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter Is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invlgorator. One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was immediately secured and a great change took place In my daughter's as well as in my own health. Our appetites Improved very greatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and restful sleep soon improved us, so that we seemed like new women. "1 would not be without Peruna for ten times Its cost. "Mrs. Anna B. Flcharty. "What used to bo called female diseases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs aro the cause of most cases of fomalo diseases. Dr. Hartman was among the first of America's great physicians to make this discovery. 1'or forty years lie lias been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago lie reached tho conclusion that a woman antlroly frco from catarrhal affection of theso organs would not be subject to female disease. Ho therefore began using Peruna for these cases and found It so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now 1 become the most famous remedy for I female diseases ever known. Every where ttie women aro using it and prais ing It. Peruna is not a palliative sim ply ; It cures by removing the cause of female disease. . I)r.
