THE excitement IN England over the
dynamite explosion will be itensifed
by the story of Lady Florence Dixie.
In the present excited state CT affairs
the assault upon her will be attributed
to Irish re golutionists. But rumors in
such times and when public feeling is
raised to such q pitch of frenzy are
usually unreliable. The circumstance
that she lad accused the land league
Of misapplication Of funds is coupled
with the assault to give political signifi
cance to the affair and swell the tide of
prejudice against the whole Irish cause.
Thus far there is nothing in the dis
patches which warrants the conclusion
that she is the victim of aLy political
plot. All rumors from such ffenzled
SOURCES must be discounted. The lady
herself stoutly repudiates the idea that
it is the work OF Irishmen, and all the
circumstances point to its improbable

The news of the attempt to blow up
the government buildings in London,
which we publish to-day, furnishes plen-
ty of food for reflection and comment.
At first glance, and without further par
ticulars or evidence than thus far re-
ceived, it would appear that it was the
work of those who are at present at the
bottom Of the Irish agitation, or rather,
those who belong to the class who are
making assassination the attempted
means of accomplishing their ends. But
we do not believe the better and more
intelligent and thinking men among the
Irish people have anything to do with
the act, nor will they be found to uphold
any such measures. This line of action
will never accomplish what the Irish, as
a nation, are seeking to bring about;
rather, it will react and force the Eng
lish government to harsher treatment
than ever. And no one can sincerely
believe that active force can or will CO.
cree England into steps favorable to Irish
liberty. The Irish people had much
better trust to the justice of their cause
and the legitimate meanso of making that
justice felt and recognized than by fol-
lowing the example Of the Russian nihi-
lists. They might, perhaps, take the
lives of some few Englishmen, but that
would only serve to rivet their chains
the tighter. Let them seek what they
believe to be their rights by all fair
means, but if they would secure and
keep the sympathy Of civilization they
should refrain from the use of the knife
and dynamite.

THAT charity covers a multitude of
sins is again instanced by disclosures
made against the convent of Servite Sis
tiers in Chicago, a mendicant order that
came to the United States from Italy
about six years ago, and devoted itself to
the care of children of the criminal
classes in the larger cities. These Sis
tiers recently took two little girls, who
they claim were being supported in a
house of ill-fame. The mother of the
children, who asserts that they were not
kept in such a place, but at theshome of
their grandmother, tried to see them,
but was refused the privilege, until her
desperation made it necessary for the
to comply. When the two girls
in, one Of them was hobbling on
frozen feet, and both were bruised and
with beatings. Their story, as
is a revelation of maltreat-
ment, such as none but a company of
childless, soured, and dry-hearted Wo-
of middle age could inf1ict. All
efforts to inspect the convent fail, be-
cause the order is amenable only to the
church, although children are commit
ted to it by the police courts.

The Reason Why

DR.. e. B. Baliday's Blood Purifiers held
superior to any blood medicine in the
market is because it is the only blood
medicine on the whole catalogue that
acts on the brain as well as the blood,
and on the whole nervous system, thus
toning up every part. People in the
western states are subject to catarrh and
neuralgia, which affect the brain. They
find it clears the head of that depression
as no other medicine ever did before. A
trial will convince you. For sale by all

IN the Emperor hall Of the Hohen-
zollern museum, Berlin, is a piece Of an
ancient pear tree from the foot of the
Untersberg. The tradition is that this
tree would bear fruit SO long as the Ger
man empire prospered. In 1906, when
the Emperor Francis IL. laid down the
crown, the tree ceased to show any sign
Of life, but in 1871, shortly after the EN-
pire was restored, the ancient tree, long
supposed to be dead, once more bore
blossoms and fruit. 1t was then that a
pioce was sent to the Emperor.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

The advent of the railroad into Mon
tana has caused a general leveling of
values, and newspaper publishers, as
well as others, have been required to
take a step downward in the direction
OF States prices" Although the iron
horse does not yet approach within 200
miles of Benton and the effects of its
coming into the territory are scarcely
felt here, the RIVER PRESS believes in
keeping pace with its contemporaries,
even in the matter of furnishing cheap
news, and accordingly, from this date,
the subscription price of the WEEKLY
will be $3.50 per annum instead Of S.. 90,
provided the same is paid in odvance.
We cannot afford to carry delinquents
at this price, and in every case where
the subscription is not paid in advance
$500 will be charged. This will be the
invariable rule.
During the next few days. we will
send to each of our subscribers who has
not paid for the year 1889 a statement of
his account to date, so that if he wishes
to take advantage Of the reduction he
can pay up the arrearage and by for
Warding $3.50 additional receive a receipt
for subscription n year in advance.
We trust that our subscribers will not
be slow to take advantage of this liberal
proposition, as it is to their interest to do
SO as we'll as that of the publishers. The
reduction in the price of subscription
will not detract one iota from the merits
of the paper, which has been received
with such kind favor in the past, but on
the contrary our constant aim will be to
enhance its value, and a ready response
to this call for what is due us will enable
us to do SO speedily.

High License Sustained.

The Board Of Supervisors OF San Ber-
nardino county, couple OF months ago,
adopted "high" license ordinance.
John Benninger, saloon keeper of that
place, when the Tax Collector called
upon him refused to pay the license.
Other dealers did the same, and agreed,
we understand, that a test should be
made in the case of the first attempt to
enforce the ordinance. Benninger was
the first man arrested, and he, instead
of furnishing bail, filed an application
for a writ OF habeas corpus, SO as to
have the legality of the ordinance tested
at once. The case came up for hearing
before Judge Rolfe, OF the Superior
Court of that county, ON Monday last,
and he, in an opinion of some length,
denied the petition, holding that the
Board OF Supervisors have the right to
impose such tax as they may deem nec-
essary. This settles the question, un-
less Mr.. Binninger should appeal the
case to the Supreme Court and that
body should disagree with Judge Rolfe,
and overrule his decision.
