UNABRIDGED
ANCIENT EDITION.

A so-called ''Webster's Unabridged Diction-
ary'' is being offered to the public at a very
low price. The body of the book, from A to
L, is cheap reprint, page for page, of the
edition of 1S47, which in its day a val
liable book, but in the progress of language
for over forty years, has been completely
perseded. 1t is now reproduced, broken type,
errors and ALL by photo-lithograph process,
is printed on cheap paper and fimsily bound.
A brief comparison, page by page, between
the reprint and the latest and enlarged edi-
ton, will show the great superiority of the
latter. These reprints out OF date
a last years almanac. No honorable dealer
will allow the buyer of such to suppose that
he is getting the Webster which today is
cepted as the Standard and the Best,-every
copy of which bears our imprint given be-
low.
EIs~If persons who have been induced to
purchase the Ancient Edition" by any mis-
representations will advise of the facts,
will undertake to that the seller is pun
ished he deserves.

Idaho admission BILL
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3, 1890.
Bill for admission of Idaho passed
the House on vote of 1919 to /, 67
Democrats refusing to vote. The
bill provides for registration law, and
that county officers shall hold their
offices for the time for which they
were elected. Dubois spoke for an
hour and made the finest speech of
his life. Lodge of Massachusetts,,
Perkins of Kansas, Henderson of
Iowa, Dorsey of Nebraska, Morey of
Ohio, Baker of New York, Strubble
of Iowa, and Carey of Wyoming,
spoke in favor of the bill. Dubois is
receiving congratulations from all
sides and is already being called SEN
ator. Ainslie, Isidor Smith and Col.
Taylor, of Idaho, were in the gallery
during the contest. The bill will
come before the Senate next week.

Two GREAT MEN.-We refer to
jim Hill and G. w. Hunt. They
are showing themselves to be the
greatest two men of this age of prog
ress. They have accomplished more
in a short period of time than has
been done by any two men in Amer,
lea with the same means at their COM
mand to enable them to push ahead.
Mr.. Hill will own a road from all the
principal cities of Minnesota, Dakota,
Montana and over into Canada and on
to Puget Sound in less than two
wears, and Mr.. Hunt will have his
cars running from this county, Col
umbia and Walla Walla and over
from Eastern Oregon to Gray's Har-
Dor and even to Tacoma, IN two years
or less. Hurrah for Hunt and Hill.-
Washington Independent.
Hunt may be great man, and al
that. but we wish he would pay
debt he owes this office, contracted
while he was wrestling with poverty
in Idaho, and which he promised tc
nav as soon as he was able, but nu
merous bills addressed to him have
failed to bring the cash, or even re
ply. If he would exhibit some symp
toms of honesty now that he is roll
inc in luxury and great wealth, WI
could appreciate his greatness to
for Greater extent than we can now

Sr. LOUIS, April L. Information as
to the state of affairs in the flooded
Laconia Circle section OF country be-
tween Helena and Arkansas City, w.
ing between the Mississippi and the
White Rivers, is to the effect that
the people have been on the tops of
their houses and clinging to trees for
a week. Many of them are nearly
starved to death. Many of their cat
tie, which were placed on platforms,
were washed away and drowned.
The citizens of Helena sent the steam
er Houston Combs" down Thursday
to aid the people. Friday, men went
over the whole circle in skiffs and
transferred the people from the trees
and roofs to the gin houses, which are
generally large and substantial. All
the houses are packed with people,
200 in some of them. The s'Combs"
brought out 130 people and ITO head
OF stock, arriving at Helena yester-
day. When the "Combs" came out
the steamer "Titan," with barges,
was going down. and it is thought
they can bring out all the remaining
stock and as many people as desire
to 60 away. Many of the planters
are utterly ruined.
THE SITUATION AT LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, April 1.-The work of
relieving the sufferers by the tornado
is proceeding Systematically. The
contributions continue liberal. The
work of restoring order in the devas-
tated district is progressing steadily.
The removal of the debris at Fall.
City Hall is abandoned, and there are
probably no more bodies in the ruins.
The chief danger now is from a water
famine. Even at reduced consump-
ton only three days supply is left,
and there is no immediate prospect
of more, owing to the wretched con-
dition of the pumping works.
The sun came out bright this morn
ing and has been shining all day
The ruins dried off rapidly and the
work of repairing the. damage by the
tornado has gone forward energetical-
ly. Walls are going up and roofs re-
appearing on every hand. The work
of relief is now proceeding systemat-
ically. The clearing of the streets of
wreckage was begun to-day. A tenn
porary mechanism has been construct
ed by which it is hoped the water
reservoir can be supplied. The
health officers fear a great increase in
disease as result of the lack of wa
ter to flush out the sewer connections
in case there should be a water fam
inc.

A Fiiian cannibal's emotions have

THAT REVOLUTIONARY RE~o
LUTON
American Sentinel.

lhere is point in that religious
amendment to the Constitution that
mas not been made as much of as il
ought to be. the title of the propo-
sition is this:
JOINT resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, respecting establish
ments of religion and free public
schools.
Now set that alongside of this
clause of the Constitution as 1t is. and
consider them together.
Congress shall make no law res
pectlng an establishment of religion.
Ii the purpose of this proposed
amendment is not to annul that clause
OF the Constitution as it is, and so
open the way for national estab.
lishment of religion, then what can
possibly be the purpose of it?
This being, logically, the purpose
of the resolution as defined in the IT,
tie, further question is, Does the
body of the resolution bear out the
logic of the title? Let US see. Sec
ton 2 says:
Each State in this Union shall es.
tablish and maintain system of free
public schools adequate for the edu-
cation of all the children living there
in, between the ages of six and SIX
teen years, inclusive, in the common
branches of learning, in virtue and
morality, and IN knowledge of the
Fundamental and non-sectarian princi-
Piles of Christianity.
And section 3 says:
The United States shall guarantee to
every State aud to the people of e>-
cry State, and of the United States,
the support and maintenance Of such a
system of free public schools as is
herein provided.
This resolution proposes that the
United States Government shall
maintain an establishment of Chris
tianity.
Now Christianity is the expression
and embodiment of religion.
Again: Section 4 of the resolution
says:
Congress shall enforce this article
by appropriate legislation when nec-
essary.
1t proposes that the United States
Government shall establish religion,
and that Congress shall make laws
respecting the establishment of re-
ligion.
Therefore, both in its title and its
provision the Blair resolution to
amend the Constitution of the Uni
ted States is distinctly a proposition
to annul that clause of the Constitu.
ton as it is, which forbids an estab-
lishment of religion.
