Lucky Private Secretaries.

Private secretaries are reaping large
benefits on account of forming bust.
ness relation with some of the very
wealthy gentlemen who have been
sent to Washington in the capacity
of United States Senators.
Mr.. Stanford of California, is by
long odds the wealthiest of all the
Senators, and, of course, his annual
salary of $4,000 and mileage for rep
resenting California in the upper
branch of Congress is a mere bagatelle.
He keeps, it is said, from three to
four private secretaries, one of whom
receives almost the entire senatorial
salary.
Mr.. Stockbridge of Michigan, who
succeeded Mr. Conger, is wealthy
retired lumberman, as his business
has been turned over to his sons Mr..
Stockbrldge's wealth is rated up into
the millions 1t is said that he gives
his entire salary to his private secre-
tary. The latter is man whom he
knows well and to whom he can in
trust his most important private and
public affairs.
Senator Hearst of California who is.
by the way, native of Missouri, scat
tiers his senatorial salary around among
his secretaries. He owns and controls
the San Francisco Examiner. and has
brought on from that city one of his
brightest young men, who looks after
the Pacific slope matters for the paper
and does good deal of work for the
Senator besides. Another well-known
journalist of this city, who has repre-
sented the Examiner here for some
time and who has other newspaper
connections, has got a very fat thing
by coming in as one OF the Senator's
observation-disclosures Republican.

Breaking Bad News

They are telling story on a well
known and now wealthy Irishman Of
this city, which, it is said, happened
before he was either so wealthy or Sc
well known. Judge McCarty, so the
story G e., had been killed by an acct
dent, and the problem was how tc
break the news to his wife. The Irish.
man in question volunteered to break
the news SO gently that it would not
jar on the most sensitive feelings. Put.
ting the body in wagon he started
for Mrs. McCarty's residence.
docs the Widow McCarty live
here?" he asked significantly.
'She does not, said Mrs McCarty.
''But indade she does. The Widow
McCarty does live here?" he insisted,
with more significance and greater
emphasis on the widow"
But she does not" replied Mrs
McCarty.
Disguised at her lack of perspicuity
the bearer Of the bad news asked in
dispear:
IAN faith, does Judge McCarty live
here?"
"He does"
"Well, I'll bet yes tin dollars he
does not.
"But ne does, insisted Mrs. McCarty
"But he does not, " insisted Pat, "I'il
bet yes tin dollars he does not" and
then, in utter despair he added, "for

The common saying-there is moth
ing so successful as success has be-
come automatic and the converse
there is nothing so crushing as de-
feat, as equally true. In politics these
sayings stand almost without excep-
tions. The man in office, if he be any
sort of man, has numerous advan-
tages in his favor for reelection, but
a man given to defeats will find it a
mere accident if he gets an office at
all. We have known some of the
fittest and best men crushed by de
feats. This is often the case when ris-
ing young men place themselves in
the hands of admiring and oyerzealous
friends. They are pushed too far to
the front in the beginning and rep
etition of the same thing at each re-
turning election soon places them on
the list of chronic office seekers and
they find themselves boated up Salt riv
erpraying as the boat scatters the spray
deliver us from our friends. No man
in all the country knows of the truth
of the saying, there is nothing so
crushing as defeat and no man has
felt. its force more keenly than the
sensitive and ambitious Jim Blaine,
and a sad knowledge of this truth may
have induced him to write his letter
declining to enter the race for presi-
dency at the next election.

No American citizen familiar with
the politics of his country and is al
all acquainted with politicians will
deny that Jim Blaine stands at the
head of the list of Republican lead.
ers, and that he is an accomplished,
expert politician. Friends and foes
accord him that position. But as in
races and in battles victory is not
always to the swift and to the strong,
SO in politics leaders are not always
successful office seekers Mr.. Blaine
is living example, of this truth. In
1876 he was defeated in convention
in 1880 the same fate overlook him
but his friends forsook him not, and
in 1884 gave him the nomination but
only to meet defeat at the hands of
the people These defeats have cooled
his ambition and aspirations for of
flee, and while he is perhaps still the
choice of majority of his followers
he declines to allow his name to 90
before the next convention for the
high office of president. His letter of
deelination, written from Florence,
Italy. January 25th is worthy of the
pen of the great statesman. 1t is care
fully and cautiously worded. From
the effects of this letter, in the way
of expressions of regrets and disap-
pointments, he doubtless expects to
judge of the enthusiasm that would be
for him in convention and of his pos
sible chances of election if the nomi-
nation was forced upon him. From
our standpoint Mr.. Blaine either wants
to test the unity and solidity of his
followers and the strength of his com
petitors or he sees the handwriting on
the wall and wants to stand from I'M
der when the decisive blow comes to
his party as it will doubtless come
this year of 1888.

IT is said of Mr.. Frederick Coudert,
the distinguished lawyer and advocate
of Democracy, that he was disinclinsd
to take an active part in the coming
presidential campaign until he saw
Mrs. Cleveland for the first time in the
White House, after which he express
ed himself as follows:-"I will do all
the talking You want to help the Dem
ocrats this fall. ! will do anything
to help keep such woman as Mrs.
Cleveland in the White House" This
is pretty compliment indeed. and
does equa' honor to Mr. Coudert's | cut
and head. But we respectfully sub
NIT to Mr.. Coudert and other old
heads who, like him, are carried away
by the beauty and grace Of the young
heart of the White House, that there
are other attributes that must reign
there besides those which adorn a
lovely and accomplished woman.
We must have craftsmanship there,
broad, liberal and far-sighted. We
must have prudence there, the discre-
ton to determine what must be done
and what left undone. We must have
bravery there, the courage of convic-
ton and the fcarlessness Of conse-
quences. We must have vigilance
there, watchful of the peoples claims
and distrustful of the politicians pleas.
We must have patience there, the long
suffering Of abuse, Misrepresentation
and jealousy. And we must have
honor there, mindful Of promises
made and obligations incurred. Tn a
word, we must have Mr.. Cleveland
there as well as Mrs. Cleveland: and
as the pair are indissolubly united in
law as in the hearts of the people, the
prospect is good that we will keep
both those admirable persons in the
White House for another four years.

bill which will probably pass both
Houses to amend the Alien Land law
by providing that it shall not in any
manner effect the title to mineral lands
or mining claims, in Territories, which
may be acquired or held under the
mineral land laws of the United States;
nor to mills or other reduction works
on property used in the production
of metals from mineral lands in the

IT is now suspected that the negro
exodus scheme is beng talked about
simply to furnish Republican cam
paign ammunition. This suspicion is
strengthened by the fact that the
leaders of this foolish and impossible
scheme repeat, as the reason for it,
the dreary old lie that the negroes in
the South are worst treated than they
would be in other States. 1t is pretty
safe to predict that nothing will be
heard of the exodus after the election
is over.

IT is a maxim of war never to

1T is maxim of war never to I'M
derate an enemy. A general may fee
sanguine of his ability to crush an
opposing foe still it is principle OF
his profession to make his plans for
an attack as carefully as if victory
hung in the balances of doubt. The
same holds true in politics. Being
too sanguine sometimes brings defeat.
The Good Book says victory is not
always to the strong, and we have
often seen this truth exempIifed in
politics. The Democrats of Idaho
have every promise of victory this
election year but it will be well for
them to heed these truths and prepare
themselves as if they might possibly
be defeated all along the lines. The
Central Committee must be thorough
~ aroused to duty-the tickets must

of the best men in theranks and then
every man must do his duty and his
whole duty, and then we may safely
expect victory to perch on our banners.
