The American Private Soldier.

[Richard Harding Davis in Harper's Weeklyl
The American private, as he showed
himself during the three days in which |
was his guest, and afterwards when
Capt Hardie had returned and we went
scouting together, proved to be most
intelligent and unpicturesque individual.
He was intelligent, because he had, as
rule, followed some other calling before
he entered the service, and he was not
picturesque, because he looked on
soldering merely as a means of liveli-
hood, and had little or no patriotic or
sen mental views concerning it. This
latter was not true of the older men.
they had seen real war either during the
rebellion or in the Indian campaigns,
which are much more desperate affairs
than the eastern mind appreciates, and
they were fond of the service and proud
of it. One of the corporalS in G troop,
for instance, had been honorably dis
charged year before with the rank of
first sergeant, and had re-enlisted as a
private rather than give up the service,
of which he found he was mere fond than
he had imagined when he had left it.
And In K troop was an even more nota-
BILE instance in man who had been re-
tired on three-fourths pay, having. served
his 30 years, and who had returned to the
troop to act as Capt Hunters ''striker,"
or man of all work, and who bore the
monotony of the barracks and the hard
ships of field service rather than lose the
uniform and the feeling Of esprit de corps
which 30 years service had made a ne

The constitutionality of the Michigan
election law in regard to the choice of
presidential electors is to be tested in the
courts of that state. The IA Republican
candidates for presidential electors have
asked the supreme court for a writ of
mandamus to compel the secretary Of
state to have delivered to the sheriffs of
the state notice in writing between
July / and September /, that at the next
general election there will be chosen
electors for president and vice president.
The court issued an order to show why
writs should not be issued as prayed for,
and it was made returnable May 70. A
point raised for the relaters is that the
14th amendment of the constitution of
the United States confirms the right of
each male citizen to vote for all the
presidential electors, and that it cannot
be abridged to voting for only two of
such electors, as the Michigan law pro-
poses.

Judge Holman is said to be thoroughly
discouraged. Early in the session he got
the Democrats of the House to pass some
beautiful resolutions in favor of economy
and he seems to have had an idea that
they meant something and would
guide the party in it's expenditure of
public money. It is not strange there
fore that the appearance of the river and
harbor bill, which is the biggest in the
history of the country, much larger
than that passed by the last House,
quite unnerved him and threw him into
a state of deep detection. He found his
Democratic brethren docile enough when
all that he wanted them to do was to re-
solve in favor of economy, but when he
asked them to practice what they were
so ready to preach by making some sac
rifices in the way of consenting to a re-
lduction in the appropriations for public
works in their districts he began to feel
very much like a boy who had tackled
hornets nest. Perhaps the judge would
have had more influence with his
brethren if he had shown disposition
on his own part to make the sacrifice
he asked Of them, and had set them an
example of self abnegation. But like all
the rest of them he wanted somebody
else to do the sacrificing.

The Kentucky Democrats really seem
to be in dead earnest in their support of
Carlisle for Presidential candidate. They
have established headquarters in Wash
ington and are laboring assiduously to
work up boom for their favorite.
There are some personal arguments
against Carlisle, however, which it would
be very troublesome to meet. Further
more he comes from a state a little too
far South.

1t looks as though Hill would manage
to pick up good many of the Southern
delegations to the Democratic National
Convention. South Carolina is almost
certain to be for him, and in Alabama
and Georgia he is strong. The perform
ances of the South are not likely, how
ever, to exert so much influence in the
convention as those of the North, for the
reason that the electoral vote of almost
every Southern state is certain to be Civ
en- to the Democratic candidate, whoever
he may be.

Hon. Darius H. Ingraham and Mr.. E.

for the Democratic nomination in this
district, provided Mr.. Frank does not
want it again. The nomination is looked

year than usual because in the event of
yhe election Of a Democratic President
the candidate would be likely to have a
potent voice in the distribution of pat
ronage.

IDAHO, July 18.-All the mining
camps in the Ceur d'Alene district
are now occupied by troops, and the
mining war is practically over. Fifty
five hundred union miners by to-day
will have been arrested and disarmed
by the soldiers. There only remains
1900 strikers we'll armed, who have
entrenohed themselves in the noun
tains. They constitute the most des-
perate OF the union men, and are not
likely to come to terms until they are
starved out. II is at present proposed
that as soon as the arrests are COM
pleted the troops shall move against
them. In this event a sanguinary
engage ment is probable. All the res

What They Are lioOd For.

BRANDRETH's Pulls are the best
medicine known.
FlRsr-They are purely vegetable,
in fact a medicated food.
SEcoND-The same dose always
produces the same effect--other pur.
gatives require increased doses and
finally cease acting.
TulRD-They purify the blood.
FourTH-They invigorste the d.
gestion aud cleanse the stomach and
bowels.
FlFrH-They stimulate the liver
aud carry off vitiated bile and other
depraved secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the
eye bright, the. mind active, digestion
is restored, costiveness cured, the
animal vigor is recruited and all decay
arrested.
BRANpRErm's Puts are sold in
every drug and medicine store, either
plain or sugar coated.

The REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Delegates Presentation. George Mill,
Deflaes His Position-Why He Cannot
join the Third Party.
The convention called for the pur.
pose OF selecting eight delegates tc
represent Alturas county in the State
Convention to be held at Moscow. the
18th inst, met in Ketchum about
! noon to-day.
l. w. Garrett was elected chairman
and George E. Mills secretary.
In taking the chair Mr.. Carrot,
made q few remarks-as did Mr.,
Mills.
The last.named gentleman said
that ne had been unjustly criticized
on the assumption that he had left the
Republican party. He therefore felt
it due to his party associates and to
himself to define his position. Being
intrusted with some important BUSH
ness matters that would require his
undivided attention, he had intended
to abstain from taking any active part
in politics this year. When the silver
club was organized in Ketohum he
joined it. because he was then, is now,
aud would probably always be a
silver man. The clubs were, as we
all know, formed to sgitate the silver
question, and for effect on the two
party conventions. He was, in bis
absence, elected secretary of the Sill
yer League. That is likewise in the
line of sound silver policy. But he
had never joined the third party, as he
could not indorse their platform as a
silver man. He has always been a
Republican, and intends to remain
one. And while he would wish to
keep out Of politics this year, he felt
under such obi cations to the party
that had honcred him in the past that
he was impelled to say, ",f there is any
thing to be done, call upon me, and |
will answer"
The remarks of Messrs. Garrett and
Mills were frequently and enthusiasts
tically spplauded.
The Chair was then instructed to
appoint three committees, of five
members each, on Credentials, on
Permanent Organization and Order
of Business, and on Resolutions.
In compliance with the motion the
Chairman announced the following
committees:
On Credentials-.James Judge, Tho
