Some of the members of the Three
Americas, Congress have disconnected
the republicans by expressing a
belief that It would be impossible to
build up large trade between Cen.
trail and South America and the
United States as long as the latter
persists in maintaining a high
protective tariff. It is an indisput-
able fact though.

The Correct Principle.

The Boise Democrat has the fol-
lowing, says the Idaho Register,
which should be the sentiment of
every republican of Idaho:
"some of the leading republicans
hereabouts express the opinion that
Delegate Dubois is politically very
dead, and that he stands no show
whatever of donning a senatorial
toga. If there is such a thing as a
man being entitled to enjoy the
fruits of his own labor, to Mr.. Du-
bois belongs one of the senator

A Close Call.

The Union City, Wash, Tribune
vouches for the following story:
Peter J. Olsen lives few miles
up Sweedsman's creek, on the west
side of Hoods canal. He resides
alone, some distance from any neigh
bors. Returning from the creek
last Sunday evening to his house,
with pail of water, he encountered
in the trail a large mountain lion
coming toward him. He supposed
the lion would turn aside, but in
stead of that his majesty kept on
towards him till he made a spring
at his throat. Mr.. Olsen with great
presence of mind dashed the pale
of water in its face, and pushed his
hand into the lions mouth, seized
its tongue, whilst with the other
hand he grasped the lion by the
throat. A fierce struggle ensued,
and II this M. Olsen's clothes were
torn from his body and deep
wounds made on his head, breast
and arms, but after a desperate
struggle the animal tore himself
away, leaving part of his tongue in
Mr.. Olsen's hand, and then fed to
the recesses of the forest. Mr.. o.
sen managed to get to neighbours
house, where his wounds were
dressed with dog-fish oil, and he is
now in a fair way Of recovery

the driver and horse. Reno dashed
the crazed animal continually with
his whip, but it had no effect. When
the horse of Reno was about to fall
from exhaustion, a passenger train
appeared and attracted the mad
horses attention. After gazing at
the train for moment the brute
jumped high fence and ran across
the field and began the race with
the passenger train. The engineer
put on steam and the passengers
raised the window to see the race.
Revolvers were drawn and the brute
received a number of shots but kept
up the chase for half mile, when
it dropped in a pit and was subse-
quently killed by some section men.
ARREST of A GOLD MINE THIEF.
A dispatch from Ispeming, Mich,
brings the news that Henry Varcoe,
employed as "sorter" at the Mich
igan gold mine, quit work last Sat-
urday and was to have started for
England Monday night A search
warrant was secured and his trunk
opened. A quart bottle filled with
fine gold and several hundred
pounds of very rich rock were found,
estimated to be worth at least S., 900. |
Varcoe is in Jail and confesses that
he was not the only thief at the
mine. 1t is thought that thousands
Of dollars hove already been stolen.

The u. S. ARMY.

The army Of the United States
consists of 2167 commissioned Off
GERS and sufficient number of
enlisted men to keep them in prac-
tlce. This number is fixed by a
general law at 10000; for several
years Congress has been in the habit
of appropriating for $4,000, and it
does not seem likely to get out of
the habit, although the military au-
thorltles are generally asking for at
leastthe statutory 10000. Omitting
considerable number of enlisted
men who are performing civilian
duties, the Adiutant General of the
army reports the actual strength of
the army at 2O,145. So there are
not ten real private soldiers for every
officer; this fact inspires a great
deal of wit on the part of paragraph
writer's who do not understand what
our army is for. We have never
been In danger at any sudden foray
from Canada or Mexico. Our army
would do US precious little good if
our harbors were invaded by q hos
tile fleet, and for several years past
thelndlan has ceased from troubling
and the townsite Spectator is at
rest. We. have no fighting for our
army to do. But the organization
OF an army is not an easy thing,
and SO We obey the Injunction in
time of peace prepare for war just
far enough to keep up military
organization of 1000 officers and
the smallest number Of enlisted men
that will permit the officers to keep
in military practice. A regiment
of infantry with 81 officers and
hardly 800 enlisted men seems
pretty topheavy, but the 81 officers
form a regimental organization
around which 1000 enlisted men
could be arranged as easily as 400.
