HERE is the opinion of the Albany Ex- press, staunch republican paper, of Allen G. Thurman: "There is certainly no liv- ing representative of the democracy who has rendered that party better, truer, braver service than ex-Senator Thurman During his long career in the senate he came to be regarded as the type of the highest order of democratic statesmanship A sound lawyer, an able debater, pro- found constitutional student, and an honest man, he stood by his party and defended it in it's darkest days"

THE uncertainty among republicans as to who their presidential candidate is to be, is just as great now as it was the day that Blaine dropped out for good. Sher- mans friends now claim that his nomina ton is almost assured. Democrats hope that Sherman may be nominated, for of al the candidates yet named, he would be the easiest to beat; in fact, his own record would beat him with no effort whatever on the part of the democrats.

THE ARKANSAW TRAVELLER

a king. A kingl He would at least have fire to die by. Pulling of some of the cedar bark which cluDg to the stump of the "Arrow," he lit it, and soon had a blaze worthy of king. As the warmth cheered him he grew more master of himself. The glorious view of mountain after mountain range, the wide valley with its sage bush looking like verdure, the sky with wonderful pellucid blue, and great clouds moving in majestic grandeur, and the air, the invigorat- ing breath of God it seemed, as Georges strength temporarily re- turned. Yes; Nevada was a glorious country.
 The fire blazed on, crackliDg and sending out it's starry sparks like bea- cons to welcome wanderers, aud still George dreamed.
 Presently his heart gave a great leap; he caught his breath. Was he really mad, or was that-that rock there, just under the burnt cedar, his ledge?
 A moment more he was on his feet swinging his pick, and hitting at that boulder with a giants strength. Great pieces flew of, but the boulder was firm, it was no float. It was the ledge, and-filled with gold!
 "I proclaim thee .Albia,' for my motherw shouted the young fellow, half crazed with joy.
 Then he built up the little pile of rocks called monuments" and "lo- cated" his find, proclaiming in his mo- tice to whoever might chance that way that George Elmair had located this gold bearing ledge, which shall be known as the Albia. That he claimed fifteen hundred feet north and south, 600 feet east and west, with all the dips and spurs, and all the advan- tages the mining laws of Nevada al- lowed.
 Then he added dates, put the paper notice between the rocks, and rushing down the mountain side, burst into the store with:
 "Pve found the ledgew
 The men gathered around him Ned Clark gave him "a thousand jest down" for one- third, and he sent for his mother.

Filled With State Pride,
Charles Dudley Warner, in Harper

Charles Dudley Warner, in Harpers.
 One of the most striking facts in the west is state pride, attachment to the state, the profound belief of every citi- zen that his state is the best. Engen- dered perhaps at first by permanent investment and the spur of self-inter- est, it speedily becomes a passion, as strong in the newest state as it is in any of the original thirteen. Rivalry between cities is sharp, and civic pride is excessive, but both are outdone by the larger devotion to the common wealth. And this pride is developed in the inhabitants of a territory as soon as it is organized. Montana has condensed the ordinary achievements of century into twenty years, and loyalty to its present and the expecta- tion of its future are as strong in its citizens as in the attachment of men of Massachusetts to the state of nearly three centuries of growth.
 In Nebraska I was pleased with the talk of clergyman who had just re- turned from three months travel in Europe. He was full of his novel ex- periences he had greatly enjoyed the trip; but he was glad to get back to Nebraska, and its full, vigorous life. In England and on the continent he had seen much to interest him, but he could not help comparing Europe with Nebraska; and, as for him, this was the substance of it Give him Ne braska every time. What astonished him most and wounded his feelings (and there was a note of pathos in his statement of iD was the general for eign ignorance abroad about Nebraska the utter failure in the European mind to take it in. I felt guilty, for to me it had been little more than a geographical expression, and I pre- sume the continent did not know whether Nebraska was a new kind of patent medicine or a new sort of re- ligion. To the clergyman this ignor- ance of the central, richest, about-to- be-the-most-important of states was simply incredible.

GRANDMOTHER'S COTTAGE
 DOOR.
BY MARY A. DENIsoN.

In the fair, fresh mornings. years ago, When the world was good to see, When earth seemed little heaven below, And youth was joy to me; When friends were real and love was true, And life was sweet to the core, What beautiful morning glories grew At grandmother's cottage door! I can smell the fragrance of the roses red, And of mint as the soft winds pass, While the dew like web of jewels IS spread All over the crowdlng grass. The pink sends love in her fragrant way And the robins chirp as of yore; When the morning glores in rich array Clung close to the cottage door. The cottage was old and small and quaint, X picture without and within; The coating of age was it's only paint, And moss hid it's shingles thin It's windOws twinkled under the caves, With the laughter of light they wore, And the morning glories with dancing leaves Laughed back from the cottage door. And grandmother, too, like her house, was
 old
 But the burdens of love and care Had changed the dress of her life to gold, Till she was an angel far; Like the glories, her heart, at the morning
 hour.
 Enclosed to the sad and the poor She was symbol and queen of the dainty
 flower
 That grew at her cottage door,. r.. Oh many and many a year, the sod Has greened over grandmother's grave; She went like a little child to God Her soul was SO pure and brave, But know, though heavens gardens be fair
 to view,
 She remembers the days ot yore, And the morning glories she loved that grew Round the dear old cottage door

notice that some employers make a
