A GLACIAL FIELD.-F. J. Schooner
horn, geologist and mineralogist, who
is working in the interest of Idaho's
exhibit at Chicagc, writes under date
of Aug. Sth, that he has discovered an
immense glacial field in central Idaho,
beneath which lie a series of glacial
lakes. The field probably covers an
area nearly as great, though not as
thick, ss the great glacial field of the
Alps. He had examined Is terminal
morains, eleven of which were receding,
four were. stationary and one was ac-
vancing, none of them extended more
than 1000 feet below the snow-line.
The glaciers are located about % miles
southwest of Shoup, amid a number OF
high peaks not down on the maps.

Mr.. HoDsoN, one of the third party 5
speakers in this State says if Weaver be
not elected President he will not care
sixpencc who may be. If Mr.. Hob
son be a supporter of the third party
from 8 conscientious belief in the prin-
ciples Of that party, and he sincere IN
the expresSion of the remark referred
TO he mus, be very unwisc man, Tor
oil wise men select the lesser of two
evils and. so far at least rs third party
yirginians are concerned, the success
of the democratic party must De pref
cradle to that of the republican, for the
former is opposed to the Force bill and
to the contemplated increase OF the
pension list. and is in favor of law tariff,
and a large majority of its members
also favor the free coinage of silver and
an income tax, all third party measures;
while the latteris Numerically opposed
to it in respect of each and ali of them,
When man who has heretofore voted
the democratic ticket begins to talk
about not caring who may be elected
President, it is safe to say that i wont
be long before he will be found doing
all he can to help the republican party
the only party that will be benefited
bv the defeat of the democrats.

LIBERTY HAS always been the pro
feSsed object of strikers, though no men
ever were OF ever could be more tyran-
nical. But if they keep up the same
click" at which they arc now moving
in several of the States, the perfect lib
ertv which is now accorded them,
equally with all the other residents OF
the country, but which they don't seem
to understand, and certainly do not ap-
preciate, will be taken away, not only
from them, but from those who do I'M
derstand and appreciate. and also en-
Joy it; for self preservation is the first
law of governments as of individuals,
and those people with any interests in
the country to preserve, will cheerfuliy
relinquish part of their liberty in or
der that the government may be ena-
bled to secure them the remainder, to-
gether with the safety of their lives and
property. The strikers are doing all
they can to hasten the approach Of the
man on horseback, though they will
suffer from his arrival more than any
other class of the country's popula-
ton.

BEFORE THE Chicago convention the
New York World said Mr.. Cleveland
could carry New York without any
trouble, and thereby induced certain
southern delegates to vote for him.
The World now says New York is a
doubtful State, and that the democrats
must carry some northwestern States
in order to offset the loss OF New York.
But this only shows the greater neccs-
sity for the use of every possible means
by which the vote of every southern
State shall be cast for Mr.. Cleveland.
for sorry fate will be that of the
southern States, if by the loss of any Of
them the republicans be enabled to pass
the Force bill.

How a railroad striker can imagine
that the derailment ola passenger car
filled with men, women and children,
none of whom he knows, and none OF
whom knows him, and not one of whom
ever did him any injury, and against
whom it is impossible for him to have
any grievance, can crafty his revenge,
or do him the faintest conceivable ben
eft, in any conceivable way, is what al
ways has and always will puzzle men
who are not strikers. When robbers
derail passenger trains the cause is
plain, monstrous as it is, but if there be
any reason why strikers should resort
to the same revolving crime, it has never
yet been explained.

He WAS NO Fool NIGGER.-"If you
'spected me to do all the singin', shout
in and whoopin' for dollar day,
you're fool niger" was the remark
of Annanias Williams, who to square
himself because ofunappreciated genius
had pocketed the treasury of the col
ored camp meeting recently held at
Hillagaville. This remark was made
to Rev. Joseph Fitzgerald, who dis
pensed the theology, while Williams
was the leader of the singing, and was
known as Parker" among the occu-
pants of the tents at Hillaga's Grove.
The insinuation against the clergy
mems fairness proved too much for the
already much-tried man, and he squared
himself for a fsticuff with the singer
in Magistrate Wilhere's office, where
the hearing took place yesterday morn
ing.
Earlier in the hearing, Rev. Fitzger-
aid testified that Williams had made
himself so officious at the camp meet
ing that on Saturday last he was COM
PEELED to beat an ignominious retreat
from the place because the singer,
backed by the entire choir, raised
terrible disturbance" 1t was after
his departure that Williams committed
the theft, by collecting and pocketing
money to the amount of 800. He was
to receive 81 day for his services,
with which he was not satisfied, how
ever. The dishonest singer was held
in 800 bail for court.-Philadelphia

ELECTRICITY IN THE CoRsET.-A
New York woman few days ago Wis
tied an electric light factory. She put
her watch where she often carries it..
The next day the movements of the
watch were most eccentric. Now it
was fast, now slow, but never right.
She asked her husband, who was an
electrician, what could be the matter
with it, and he soon found that her cor
set steels had been charged with cleo.
tricity during her visit to the plant.

ONE HUNDRED and fifty million
rounds of wool were imported into this
country last year, on which tariff tax
of nearly eight million dollars was ex-
acted. This shows that the tax refer
red to does not exclude foreign wool,
aud consequently does not protect the
American wool growers. And it also
shows that the people who use the arti-
Giles made of wool have to pay the i'm
mense tax referred to in the vN,... cost
of those articles. The democratic I.
s. House of Representatives passed a
bill at the last session of Congress to
remove the tax on wool, but it was
pigeon-holed in the room of the repub-
lican finance committee of the republi-
can Senate.
