An ideal as high as ueaven-an echo
of the life of Jesus Of Nazareth. They
have determined to bear one anothers
burdens and 50 fulal the law Of Christ
They pledge themselves to alleviate
suffering and pain, to care for the
widows and educate the orphans Of
their dead. This is climbing the
heights OF life. This is pure religion
undeiiled.
They have gone into politics not be-
cause they are a political organization.
They have been forced to go into poll
tics because their principles were
social, economic aud religious. All
social and economic questions have be-
come political questions, and all politi-
Cal questions are religious. The polit-
lcal arena is where ell the great Ques-
tions of to-day and tomorrow must be
fought and settled. Let no man de
ceive himself by believing that this or
ganiZation is but a passing episode in
politics. Remember its foundation is
not primarily political, but social and
economic. II is the embodiment OF
grand moral ideas-it is the movement
of a revolution. 1t will not go back
ward. May God give its leaders wisdom.

from Russian exile at Seurich, charges
that Sophie Gunsberg, a nihilist, who
was condemned to death for being con-
cerned in plot against the life Of the
czar, has been subjected tc torture in
prison, and that her cries were heard by
other prisoners, who managed to make
the fact known. The object of the per
secutions is supposed to have been to

The Union League, of New York,
will petition congress to pass laws re-
quiring II longer residence in the United
States by all persons desiring to become
citizens than is now prescribed by law,
and providing that all applications be
made in the handwriting of the appli-
cant, who must be able TO speak, read
and write the English language, and
to authorize any citizen to appear in
open court, in order, in good faith, to
contest the right to any application tn
a certificate of naturalization, or to
set aside any application improperly
granted. 1t is believed that such laws
will prevent the abuses practiced under
the immigration and naturalization
laws.

The legislature of Illinois has passed
a strong law against child labor. 1t
forbids the employment of any child
under Is years of age in any mill or fac
tory unless a certificate be issued by the
board of education or school directors
that such child Is the sole means of sup
port of an aged or infirm relative.
This will arouse the Indignation, doubt
less, of the husky parent who believes
in making children support themselves
and help to support the family from the
time they are years old, and who re.
CARDS parental rights" Is paramount
to parental duty. If now the state
will go further and, when its educa.
tional officers find a child, who should
be in school, struggling beyond his OF
her strength to maintain an aged Oh
infirm relative, provide for the support
of such dependent ones during three OF
five months Of each year while the
child goes to school, 1t will complete q
good work.

The Northwest Reform Journal Is in
favor of abolishing all laws for the col
lection of debts and SO are we. but not
without due precaution being taken to
protect present contracts and obliga-
tons. With no laws in vogue for the
collection of debts, business would he
done on safe and economical basis,
and what is now wasted in bad debts
aud the work of looking after them,
would go toward swelling the volume
of business. Lawyers are about the
only people who can consistently OPP
pose such action, aud they would not
do so if they will thoroughly look into
the question before allowing their pre-
JUDGES the upper hand.-East Orego-

Idaho, Tyne Of the West.

The new West is still Il virgin field
for energy, enterprise and settlement.
says the Irrigation Age. Its history is
yet unwritten. Its pilgrim fathers
have set foot on it's shores, the red man
has been driven back, the corner stones
of states have been laid, but that is all.
The day of real development is yet only
Il gray streak against the horizon of the
future. For instance, look at Idaho.
1t has territory of Sc, 294 square miles.
Nature has endowed it with abundant
streams, with millions of acres ofirriga-
BILE land, with ineXhaustible stores of
minerals, with splendid forests, with a
climate which nurses men to old age.
But all of these resources are almost as
nature left tnem. The Snake River
of 1000, 600, while the population of the
largest city shows less than 5000.
There are marvellous water powers, but
no manufactures. Who believes that
Idaho will not some day utilize her
streams and fertile lands like Southern
California, her mineral resources like
Colorado and Pennsylvania, her water
powers like Massachusetts,? Who
doubts that i'm the future she will live
ten years, while the old states are liv-
ing one? Why should II young man
bump his head against the commercial
and social barriers of an old and severe
civilization when the West needs him
to do in these days the work of devel-
Opment which his remote ancestors did
in New England, New York and Nir-
ginia two centuries ago: IdadO Is only
one state in the new West, but u typi-
cal one. Her future remains to be
moulded by energetic men. Agricul.
ture, resting on the sure basis of irriga.
ton, must he the foundation of her
prosperity. When this has been adj
vanced the miner will multiply, and
the merchant and manufacturer will
come to cater to the wants of the grow
ing population. Idaho is chiefly inter
esting as a type of that new and hope
full West to which she belongs.

Elght hours day Is enough to work

The Denver Republican gives an in
teresting account of the artesian wells
in the San Luis valley of Colorado.
Although the valley is nearly $500
feet above the sea level, 5000 wells are
already in operation there, transforming
the desert into fertile farms. The
average depth at which water is found
is from 200 to 800 feet and the shallow
est wells throw water six feet into the
air and flow continually the year round (.
They never freeze as the water is much
warmer than surface or river water.
The deepest well, known rs the "great
spouter' Alamosa, is 900 feet deep and
throws solid stream of water sixty
feet into the air. Every town and vii
! lage in the valley is watered from these
wells, and the overflow from them,
running in little brooks along the streets
and highways, nourishcs the shade
trees and lawns and makes fertile the
flower and vegetable gardens. The
wells are apparently inexhaustable,
and it will be but Il few years before
every farm will havoc well Of its own.
While it has not been demonstrated
that such wells can be found in Oul
Snake river valley, biologists tell us
that all conditions favor their discovery
Is it not strange, in view of the great
wealth and prosperity the finding OF
these hidden fountains would bring t.
us, that any person would hesitate tt
contribute to the fund for sinking al
experimental well near Lewiston?

The big tree for the Chicago worlds

Tuesdays Post-Intelligencer. 1t will
be on exhibition here for several days,
probably at the foot Of Columbia street.
This log which has been hewn Is four
feet square and one hundred and
twelve feet long. 1t was gotten out
near South Bend by Jose 4 Son for Mr..
ID. Soper and some other Chicago men,
who hope to sell the stick ultimately
and thus reimburse themselves. There
is proposal to name this monster of
the forest Seattle" In order to get
the log, which ways about fifty tons,
it was necessary to build about a half
mile of track through the woods. The
cost of getting it on the cars at North
Bend was about $500 and some $500
more will lie spent in getting 1t to
Chicago.

Gen. Kelley commanded the first federal
troops who marched on confederate soil. He
raised the first Virginia regiment and in
augurated the aggressive warfare He took
command of the first regiment raised in west
ern Virginia on the 25th of May 81, and a few
days latef marched against the confederates
under Porterfeld. The struggle then was to
prevent the people Of that section from entering
the confederacy and out Of it grew the state Of
West Virginia. Kelley's troops were without
uniform and equipment. and we're armed with
any sort OF guns, knives and pistols they could
get. Some had rifles, some muskets and some
shotguns. The generals only uniform vas his
outer coat. The cOnfederates against whom he
was contending we're at one hour in the field
plowing, and at the next mounted on their
pillow horses in the ranks Of Col. Porterfield, and
then again they were at their plows as peace
full tillers Of the soil.
At 4 O'Clock on the Sd of June 81, Col Kelley,
supported by Indiana and Ohio regiments,
made an attak on the confederates at Philiippi,
driving them from thei: position in confusion,
thus beginning the actual fighting Of the war
and from his own body giving the flood for the
first baptism Of blood. After this he was made
brigadier general, and his operations in West
Virginia during the rest Of the war were Of
great service to the government and won for
him high commentator.
THE BATTLE AT RoMNEY
At the battle of .Romney, where . most i'm
portant victory was won, he commanded his
troops from a carriage, being no. yet sufi-
GENTLY recovered from his wound to ride
horse. After the war be held position in the
pension Office at Washington until he got
to be seyenty-eight years old and retired from
active life. Since then he has divided his time
between Washington and his country place,
the ''Swan Meadows" near Oakland, Nd. He
is now SO old and feeble that his death is ex-
pected at any time, but his mind is as clear and
as vigorous as ever. The military spirit still
remains with him. and he is making slow and
orderly retreat before the Great Destroyer.
While Col. Hawkes. and THE STAR reporter were
examining the blood-stained vest they found in
one of the pockets pass, written on a slip of
paper torn from letter. 1t had been writer
by Gen. Kelley eight days before the battle and
had been in the vest pocket ever since. II

COL. B. F. HAWKES. OF THE PENSION
Oofice possesses a curious memento Of the
first bloodshed Of the civil war. 1t is the FIRST
blood drawn from the veins Of federal officer
by confederate fire.
Talking about war times with . SrAR re-
porter the other evening. Col Hawkes. took the
paper from little bundle he carried and held
up for inspection lov-cut gray vest Of sort
edges with brown six cord and ornamented
with buttons that looked like bullets. II had
been a rather dressy garment Of civilian be-
fore the war. On the side . little forward Of
the arm hole was a ragged hole about the size
Of mans thumb. Below this dark stain ran
down, spreading until it covered nearly all one
side of the vest. On the inside this stain col
ored the entire lining Of the vest. The gar
ment was soaked with blood that had dried
into it and stitfened it like rawhide.
That" said Col. Hawkes. lis O relic of the
first bioodshed Of the civil war. The vest was
worn by Gen. (then Coll b. F. Kelley. who
commanded at the battle Of phillippi, the first
battle OF the war, and who was the first officer
on the federal side to receive q wound. The
ball fired in a voley of the rear guard of the
retreating confederates entered where you zee
that rent passed through the generals lungs
and came out just below the shoulder blade. 1
was his adjutant and was with him there.
when We saw him lying there, with tho blood
spnrting from the wound rs il forced out with
pump. no one expected him to live more
than "a few minutes. The surgeons at the hos
pitai pronounced the wound mortal, and it was
80 reported to Gen. Mcclellan, but the general
never left the front. and in less than sixty days
was again in command. He is now eighty-four
years old, and, as he was the first officer to fall
In the cause of the Union, he will be among
the last Of the brave generals to pass away"
