| To small portion Of the people OF our

with perplexing doubt and misgivings as
to their success in future, have had
their doubts and fears considerably in
creased by the departure of Strcct-but
their SUGGEST n the past with the combin

them to believe and hope that he will

We have been spared the calamities Of
famine and pestilence by the benign in
fiuenec Of an all wise and overriding
Congress. The first two years after tho
settlement, Of our Territory, Idaho was
considered but grand field of specula

dence where large fortunes mightbe cx-

First Seeds of American Insti-
buttons. r

4 For the benefit and enlightenment Of
those would be orators aud writer's, who
assert'publicly that tho 'frst seeds Of
American institutions and the ''irst
germ Of liberty were conveyed to these
shores by the puritan pilgrims; thereby
endapgering theirreputation for veracity,
or making themselves ameuablc to the
charge Of flunkeyism or Ignorance, We
desire to state that the colony of Virginia
was founded at jamestown by English
omigrants, in May, 1907, thirteen years
before the idea was conceived of afflict-
ing the New World with the bigoted
freight of the May Flower" Two years
prior 10 the landlug Of VI puritan NAL
contents representative body, known as
the House ofBurgesscs, was established,
and in cpcrationin the colony of Virginia,
Thus is seen how much the nPilgrim
Fathers" are entitled to the distinction Of
of sounding the first note of liberty. On
the 2lst day Of Dec 1920, the May
Flower discharged her cargo of New
England puritans on Plymouth rock, and
if the said rock had bursted on that in
terestipg occasion, into million atoms,
or the May Flower, with her invoice of
witch burners, bad quietly made a voy-
age to "Davy Jones locker" before she
effected landing, America to-day could
boast of more liberty than she docs, the
puritans fleeing, as they professed, from
scenes of religious persecution, they cs
tablishel themselves on the shores ofthe
New World, wuh the declared purpose
of founding colony where they could
worship their Creator according to the
dictates of their own conscience, What
was the sequelY True to tn cir instincts,
they were no sooner established on the |
soil Of America than they raised the
standard of bigoiry and intolerance, and
inaugurated crusade Of political and re-
Zig Gus persecution against every one
who did not bow knee to the cold
tan God, if cnsctios 96lae laws yI and
burning Witches, and prsetioins every
species ofcruelty and torture known +,

General Sherman's Expedition.

Captain Duncan, who is to have command of the
little expedition the Holy Land, including among its
members Lieutenant General Sherman left Washing
ton on Friday. He took with him an interesting let
ter from the Secretary of State, copy of which to
be transmitted to all the ministers consuls general
consuls, and consular agents of the United States
The letter is follows: " o.

from granting official ntroductions to diplomatic and
consular agents abroad except in favor of agents of

Union William T. Sherman, the Lieutenant General
of the United States armies, has obtained from the
Secretary of War leave Of absence from his COM
mand for period of several months, and is expected
to spend that vacation in visit to of the more
interesting parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The
services which this distinguished soldier has rendered
to the Republic, while by their brlliancy they have
elevated the national character gratefully acknow
edged by all its enlightened citizens as having essen
TALLY contributed to the triumph of the Government

sideraon of these services the President has directed
to depart from the rule which have mentioned,
and to commend the Lieutenant General, with the
members of his family and the friends who shall ac-
company him. to the hospitabe and respectful atten-
ton of the diplomatic and commercial representatives
of the United States at such places shall be visited
by the Lieutenant General. You will, therefore, do
whatever properly be done your part to pro-
mote the Generals observations, and his acquaintance

countries in which you reside. You are authorised if
it shall in any case become necessary to say that al
though the tour of the Lieutenant General has no
purpose object affecting the United States in her
foreign relations yet the interest which the President
feels in behalf of General Sherman, personally and
officially will cause the attention which he may re-
ceve in foreign States to be highly and gratefully APP
