CHILDRENS' DAY,

y
afternoon, as per announcement, the
exercises consisting Of singing and
rotations. Childrens' Day, which
dates back to 1867, falls on the second
Sunday of June of each year. Of
late years the day has been almost
universally observed by the Sunday
schools throughout the Union, but
hitherto the school at this place has
passed it by unnoticed The object IS
to raise money for tho education of
young men studying for the ministry,
and who. without assistance, would
be unable to fit themselves for the
work required of them by the Church,
and the object is worthy one. There
was a good "turn OUT and everybody
seemed well pleased with the program
of exercises, and they threw in" libel-
ally. The Church was beautifully and
tastefully decorated with evergreens
and bouquets of wild flowers. The
decoration of the Hall was in charge
of Miss Capwell, principal in the Pnb-
lie school Of this place. She was as
sisted by the lady teachers of the
Sunday school. The work speaks we'll
for the excellent taste of Miss Cap
wei. in particular, in the art of beau
tifying. A very novel and entertain
ing feature in the way of music was
a choir of canary birds. Nearly all
the little feathered singers in town
making quite a choir-were there, and
they did their level best to drown out
the singing Of the children. The
birds acquitted themselves with cred
!. it, as well as the children. Each ca.
nary seemed to wonder where all the
other birds came from, and all seemed
to understand why they were there
} to sing. Anyway, they were brough
f there to sing, and they did sing RICH
2 merrily, making the Church hall ring
t VITA their clear, musical notes. Thu
program of exercises was as follows

Idaho and the Denver Exposition.

May IA, 1888.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. The Ma
tional Mining and Industrial EXPOSE
ton will open at Denver, Colorado,
July II, 1888. Other States and Ter
ritories have already taken the initia-
tive for displaying their products, and
it is expected that this Exhibition will
far surpass that Of 1882. 1t is highly
essential that the Territory of Idaho
should be fully represented; and for
this reason it is hoped that tho mine
owners, prospectors and all interested
in the development of the Territory
will contribute literally to make the
display from Idaho success. The
attention that onr Territory is now at
tracing from abroad, and the facilities
soon to be afforded by railroad com
munication, render this an especially
suspicious season to make known to
the world our varied resources. This
appeal is therefore made to the people
of Idaho to take advantage of this op-
portunity and to cooperate in making
an exhibition i'll every way worthy of
the Territory. James L. Onderdonk
has been appointed Commissioner for
Idaho, and all communications on the
subject may be addressed to him al

Bonds in the Police Court.

Judge Smell, having been reported as apply
ing contemptuous remarks to colored people
inside the bar of the police court was asked
in relation to it, He stated that his remark
was simply that he did not wish the bar to be
in such a crowded condition. Referring to a
newspaper statement yesterday, representing
him as saying that the allegation was utterly
untrue that great many bonds for appear
ances had been forfeited he said he had prob
ably been misunderstood, us he had not made
the remark ascribed to him. As to what was
done in the criminal court, he knew nothing
officially. The article in Saturdays REPuB-
LIcAN, so far as it related to the police court,
was correct, with this exceptions it did not
go quite far enough on one point. In those
cases of appeal to the supreme court where the
papers are sent back to tn police court be-
cause of appellants failure to pay the docket
fee in the court above, it would have been
we'll to state that these cases arc what are
called district cases."

Resolutions TO His Memory by the Onicers
and Clerks OF the Internal Revenue Blu
reau.
A meeting of the officers, clerks, and en-
ployes of the internal revenue office, was
held last Saturday afternoon in tho commits
sioner's room for the purpose of taking action
in regard to the death of Hon. Joseph j.

olutions were adopted:
Whereas we are advised by the public prints
of the death of the Hon. Joseph j. Lewis, for
merly commissioner of internal revenue. at his
residence in West Chester. Penn, at the ripe and
honoIed age of 50 years, and in order that some
suitable testimony shall bs borne by the office Of
internal revenue TO his memory and services:
T BE HPesolped That the manner In which Mr..
Lewis discharged the arduous duties of the inl-
nue., then newly created, involving frequent con-
strnctions of new and Intricate laws, justified the
high reputation he brought with him as one of
the ablest members at that period of the Pennsyl-
vania bar: that his rulings and the precedents
established by him served in marked degree to
systematize the workings of this bureau, and
have proved highly valuable In furnishing &C.
cepted constructions of the law upon many i'm
portant points.
Resolved That those labors justly entitle him to
the high respect which has always been enter
tained for him in this office, and which is hereby
publicly rendered to his memory.
ResoiUed That our sympathies are hereby ten
dered to the surviving members OF his family that
copy of these resolutions be furnished to them,
and that the resolutions themselves be entered

The Truth OF Certain Assertions 20 he

Amount.
II don't believe word of It," is an express
sion frequently heard in this age of distrust I;
and, in too many cases, IL is TO be feared this
distrust is well founded. Skeptics are the
products of deceit, aud the American people
of the present day have been 80 often deceived
that they require absolute proofbefore accept
ing anything final. 1t is fortunate there are
doubters-they make fraud less possible. But
it is none the less absurd TO dstrust all be-
cause some things are deceptive. True merit
is all the more worthy because of so much
that Is ulueless and spurious.
For several years the public prints have
been filled with certain statements almost
marvellous in their nature. The written ut
terances of thousands of people whose word
should be above suspicion have been spread be-
fore the public, but doubters seem TO have been
as skcptical as ever. In order to meet these
doubts the following card has just been given
