We venture to say that never in all our political history has the na tional campaign year brought broader, deeper and more prevail ing questions down closer to the people. There is not an issue that does not touch a vital spot in what most concerns the masses. Our op ponents may proclaim and plead, their speakers may conjure and manipulate, but our position is pre eminently of and for the people The questions we present are of economy, home, family, labor, per sonal rights and money. We pro pose to make of the campaign a a school of education, and the school will swarm with enthusiastic scholars, all intent on knowing what is best for their comfort and prosperity. We are proud to know that our party has embodied the principle of the McKinley law, in which the principles of protection have been carried to its logical conclusion and no longer leaves a doubt to the readers of republicanism, the posi tion the old party takes upon that subject. Articles which can be manufactured or produced in this country in sufficient quantities to support our own needs, are brought under the shelter of protection, thereby leavingcoiupetition among our own people to regulate the prices. Those'articles, which from climat ic or other reasons, cannot be pro duced in this country in sufficient quantities to regulate the price, are put upon the free list. We of the repblican party believs this to be the true theory of protec tion. Protection on a new article may temporarily, and by some per cent of the duty levied, increase the price, but the price declines as the home manufacture of the'article en larges and home competition sets in.

Diffenbacher, late chaplain of the Nebraska house of representatives, delivered a very enjoyable lecture at MeKendree M. E. church, Massachusetts avenue, last evening. He has collected a large number of stereopticon views of persons, places and public build ings during his six months in Washingion, which were thrown on the canvass by Prof. I. I J. Murray. The chaplain is a ready speaker, and his explanations and comments gave effect to the views presented. It is understood that the lecturer will exhibit his pictures to the peo ple of his state in the near future. Those who feel an interest (as all must) in the beauties of the National Capital citj-, and in those illustrious personages whose lives are so interwoven with our coun try's history, will find that the chaplain's collection has been made with rare judgment, a id that his investigations enable him to im part a great deal of valuable infor mation. Washington Post. Chaplain Diffenbacher will be at the Presbyterian church Thursday and Friday evenings, July 13 and 14. Admission, 23 cents; children, 10 cents. To the Temperance Union!

We trust every one inte rested in temperance work will recognize the necessity of making every effort to properly entertain this convention and make it one of interest to all, that it maj- result in much good. Let every member en rolled be present and each do all in her power for its success, and we ask the clergy and all citizens to co operate with us. Iy order of Committee.

FOURTEEN .MEN WEICK KILLED, The Conflict Was at tho Com and Frisco Mines The Deadly Work Was Done by Ex ploding Giant Powder. Wallace, Idaho, July 11. The strained situation in the Coeur d'Alene labor troubles culminated this morning between 5 and 0 o'clock. The Gem and Frisco, non union mines, were guarded by men behind barricades armed with Win chesters. This morning a miner from the Gem started for Hurke. When opposite the Frisco mine he was fired upon. Soon the miners in town armed themselves. They marched in a body toward the Frisco mills. When scarcely within rille range a' volley from the mine greeted them. They scattered and a regular battle ensued. One miner and one non-union man were killed, and perhaps six were wounded during the engagement. The miners in the meantime loaded a Union Pacific car with 750 pounds of giant powder and sent it down the track toward the Frisco mine. Directly in front of the mill the ex plosion occurred, shattering the mill and making it a complete wreck. The non-union men then showed the white Hag and surrendered. They marched the miners to Union men and guarded them. No indig nities were offered after the surren der. While the fight was going on at the Frisco, the Gem guards sud denly began firing volley after vol ley into the town of Gem, riddling the buildings with bullets. John Ward was wounded in the arm and Gus Carlson, a union miner, was killed. All attempts to recover Carlson's body were met with a vol ley, and when the body was recov ered an hour afterwards he was dead. At JS o'clock a truce occurred and the sheriff, district attorney and deputy United States marshals ap pearing upon the scene, peace nego tiations were immediately set on foot and a truce declared, and at 12 o'clock the mine force surrendered to the union men. The number killed so far as learned was fourteen and about ten wounded, though there may be bodies under the Frisco mill. De- sides Carlson, Farry, Cunimings and two other unknown men killed and wounded, Hugh Campbell and J. W. Gakardoger will die, also Sam Peters and Pettibone. Later It is reported that twenty non-union men were killed in the explosion of the mill at the Frisco mine. No confirmation has been received. History of the Trouble. The Frisco and Gem are the onty two union mines in the east end of Couer d'Alene. The strike in Couer d'Alene began about nine months ago. The fight was between the miners and Mine Owners' associa tion, organized to resist the de mands of the miners union. Twelve miners; including all the leading ones, are included in the organiza tion, and money has been freely contributed to carry on the fight. The former rates of wages were $3.50 per day to miners and shovel ers, and the strike of the miners grew out of a reduction in the shov elers wages to $3 per day. All min ers working under ground demand ed $3.50. There were several acts of hostility when the strike began but the miners union did its best to pre vent by peaceable means, men work ing at the reduced wages. The United States circuit court issued an injunction forbidding an3rone interfering with the men employed hy the company or the mine prop erty. About two months ago mat ters were straightened out and work went on as usual, but since the Car negie trouble began the old ques tion of wages has been revived by the men and resulted in to-day's bloodshed. A Spokane telegram says that the union men at the Poorman and Tiger mines quit work and captured all the non-union men working in the union mine near Durke. Don't Tebacco Spit Your Life Away."
