The latter In cludes the educational test, 'both reading and writing, whtle the senate bill as It ipaased that body, limited the test to reading alone. Representative W. A.

W.-The pocatello Trftiune publishes the following Interview with x-Senator Fred Dubois on the fu. ture policy of the silver reoubtcans In Idaho and the west: The plain announcement of Secretary Guge tout the administration Intends to make permanent the gold standard, retire the greenbacks, and turn the control ot the nation's currency over to the national banks', completely vindicates the judg ment and policy of the silver republicans In quitting forever the republican party. After the adoption of lthe St. Louis platform the rank and file of the repub licans In Idaho who clung to the old party in the hope that It would do something for silver, now that the national party has thrown off all disgub-e and stands squarely und unequlwx-ally for gold mo- nomvtaHsm, will follow no further. They will ally themselves with their former polltk-al associates and Join the silver republican ranks. There Is no reason for a republican party In Idaho. I believe the silver re publican Is the strongest party In Idaho. They should use their strength for the purpose of advancing the full restoration of silver tuid not for the advancement or Individuals. Appearances indicate that the silver foaves will combine in these western states and stop (fighting each other for the offices. 'What we desire Is tho ac complished fact of silver restoration and the only way to bring this to pas is for the sliver forces of the country to unite." AN AMERICAN HENLEY.

Jan. U. There seems to be probability thai in addition, to -asaer classes of manufactured goods In which this country Is successfully competing with foreign manufacturers, bieachea cotton will soon be added. A hundred sample caee of these goods hare Just been sent to Manchester and orsrothulans are now on foot for the purchase of large consignment for the English trade. Heretofore cotton goods have been ex jiorted on a amall scale to Englano through New York export brokers. Now, however, the attention of British Im porters has been drawn to American goods, not only because they are obeuper, but also because thvy are found to be fur superior to English manufacture 01 the same (weight The American goods ar, made a flrn," 'ed )iarn than tnglish and are without the filling. M'' lle making the material BnKwln anu Kooa appearance, causes It to wear doubly and to lack the strength of the American goods. The market for bleached cottons In this country has fre quently been overstocked and should the present experiment result In a regular export trade, the effect will be to keep the mills continuously running and to prevent the periodical running on halt Cime and discharging; of mill workers. wtwcri has led to so much misery and discontent.
