of the universal brotherhood of man. Be-
side it the law of self preservation or of
enlightened self.interest seems narrow
and provincial. Well, some of US have
dim notions Of a coming millennium,
when the lamb can lie down with the
lion, unprotected by tariff on WOOL but
we are not looking for it Tomorrow, nor
do we discern in the bruised lineaments
damaged features of the democratic party
any suggestions of the little child that
will lead the menagerie.
The language of Impotence always

He whose memory we recall so tendery
to night heard it almost continuously
above the din and tumult cf the war; the
pressurn and urgency and impatience of
men who could not wait. Greater than
all of them, with clearer vision and a
vaster view, he trod his lonely way with
sub imest patience and unfailing trust
Stand still, Dick. and see the salvation
of the Lord, " was his answer when Gov
Yates protested angrily against delaying
emancipat' on. ''Fools drift, pilots steer, >
said the most polished orator of his me,
in scathing philippe araigning the ad-
ministration for its feebleness and inca
pacity; and a sympathetic audience ap-
plauded, for it suited their impatience and
sounded well. And yet, if may para
phrase a famous saying, the world will
little note nor long remember what Wen
dell Phillips said here; it can never forget
what Abraham Lincoln did here.
Patience; patience, my friends! No
party ever was immaculate, none ever free
from seif-seekers, none ever exempt from
mistakes. Ours is a party Of human be-
lngs, with human purposes and aims and
with human weaknesses. 1t does not
promise to bring in the millennium to-day,
or tomorrow, or next week. But it does
believe IN all things that contribute to the
general welfare; all things that are true
and honest and that have for their ulti-
mate end the amelioration Of hard
conditions and the upbuilding of man
kird: Except for its saving grace we
should have fallen back into barbarism in
1860, into feebeness and dissolution in
1862, into bankruptcy and reputation
after the war, and into rudderless drift

followed. 1t has always stood for some
thing, meant something, fought for some

The SIGNAL could not, being non

to any great extent, for Frank Harris
or 10 defend him from any honorable
onslaught from an opposing party,
but when groundless opprobrium is
cast upon, and a scandal uttered
against the good character of highly
respected citizen of community
which it represents, it deems it but a
duty to denounce such scandal and
its promu gator. For this reason the
SIGNAL does denounce an article
which appeared in the Boise Sentinel
Of Sept. 10th, which cast L cruel and
heartless insinuation against Mr..
Harris. God grant, Mr.. Sutton, that
when the hand of afiliction is laid
upon you, there may be none to utter
such a brutal, inhuman remark about
you and yours. Could you have
beheld the anguish few cruel words
can create, your heart must indeed be
hard il it had not felt remorse. If,
when few days since the shadow
of disease lowered over your own
household, that little boy of yours
bad been snatched away, we would
have as quickly scorned the wretch
who would prod your sorrow or gloat
over your misery. Not in this county,
Mr.. Sutton, can you find the person
who does not scout the imputation
against Mr.. Harris. 1t must be
through some grievous error, Mr.
Sutton, that you have disgraced the
press by publishing that article in
your Sentinel, and if, after learning
of the great wrong you have DONE
you do not apologize, then you are not
an honorable man.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 90, 1892.

The Klamath Star, when it
moralizes, always dishes out such
solid chunks of truth and wisdom
that, were its sayings to be placed in
the philosophers scales opposite
all the big law books and criminal
attorneys in the country, their legal
porderosity would be Tipped slyward
with sickening whiz. Speaking of
the men over in Malheur county who
followed VIM. Humbert home, and as
he approached his humble cabin, his
fond wife's eye lighting up at his
coming and his little girl running
forth to meet him, shot him down
shot him in the back almost as his
lips were parting to greet his dear
ones-and left him weltering in his
life blood while woman's walls told
of blasted home, the Star says:
Tuesday last the Bailey brothers
arrived from Vale, Malheur county,
and were placed in the penitentiary
to serve out lifetime sentences for
the murder of Vim. Humbert on April
5. The telegraphic dispatch says.
This murder created great excitement
at the time. and had it not been proved at
the timethat the Bailey's were intoxicated
when the crime was committed they no
doubt would have been convicted OF
murder in the first degree"
But drunkenness does not extenuate
murder in any degree. Drunk
enness is itself crime If the force
of the arm Of the law is to be weak
ened by the plea of drunkenness,
then let crime get drunk and jolly.
Murder, burglary, arson, rape and
sheep-stealing know just what to do
now. al was drunk, cried murder
in the first degree at Vale, the other
day, and JUSTICE Immediately drop

so did the community as the Baileys
jumped in to get their drunk weighed.
And 10! it was murder in the second

II the crime of drunkenness is to

In August, 1857, the Bavarlan
Allegemeine Zeitung printed re-
markable prophecy which had been
made by an old hermit many years
before In it the rise of Napoleon
Ill was clearly outlined, as were also
the Austrp- Prussian and the Franco
Prussian wars, and the commune of
Paris. He told how the death Of
Pope Plus would occur in 1876 or
1877, and how it would be followed
by Turko- Russian war, both predc-
tons being but slightly wrong. He
said that Germany would have three
emperors in one year, before the end
of the present century, which we
know was verified to the letter in
1888. He missed it one in the
number of United States Presidents
that were to die by assassination,
which was remarkably close guessing,
to say the least.
Now for the future: The opening
of the twentieth century is to see
Manhattan Island and the whole of
New York City submerged in the
waters of the Hudson, East river and
the bay. Cuba is to break in two.
and part of it, including portion of
the City of Havana, to sink beneath
the waves.
Florida and Lower California are
to break loose from the mainland and
carry their loads of human freight to
the bottom of the sea.
The twenty-ffth is to be the last of |
the United States Presidents, and |
Ireland is to be kingdom and Eng
land a republic by the end of the
next century.

The full realization of the
corruptness Of the old parties has
struck the people of Gilmore county

THE SNAKE CATCHER.

How Boa Constructors Are Secured for
Menageries-
ITO catch q boa is q very difficult and
dangerous task" says man who makes
it his business to capture wild animals
and reptiles for menagerie purposes.
Briefly, it Is accomplished by means OF
a labyrinthian tangle, embracing sixty
square feet of ground.
"The labyrinth is made by joining to-
gether, end to end, pieces Of mating.
The web is eight feet high, usually,
and placed 30 that the opposite walls
will be two feet apart. All sorts of
criss-cross and diverging combinations
are made with the unattfng--it is sup
ported here and there by stakes, MAX
ing, when it is set, geometrical puzzle
that mightwell challenge the ingenuity
of man.
Tho trap is haited with live pig,
which is placed in pen in the center
of the labyrinth. By and by along
comes the boa CONSTRUCTOR. 1t is easy
enough to get in. He scents the prey;
be is very hungry; the pig is devoured,
and here the boa oDraes to grief. For
hours he tries to release himself from
the tortrous passages which rise about
him, but finally he grows tired and
stretches himself out for nap. Then
is our time. We open the labyrinth
and catch him."

FILLING MONSTER TEETH.

A Dentists Novel Experience In an Els-
phnnc's Cavcrnous Mouth.
Electricity has become an important
adjunct to the outfit of the modern
dentist, but 1t is not likely that many
will be called upon in the discharge of
their professional duties to illuminate
the cavernous mouth of an elephant, as
recently happened in the practice of
leading New York specialist.
A large show YVES on exhibition in a
town In Michigan, but the showman's
elephant, which was tower of strength
to the performance, was suddenly
seized with the. toothache, and the whole
caravan was dcmorali2ed. 1t was found
that the trouble arose from decayed
tooth. None of the local practitioners
fancied the job of filling the cavity, and
the proprietor of the show telegraphed
to New York dentist.
The New Yorker went on by first
train and, after first chlorofcrming the
animal, he braced open the brute's jaws
by two crossed hickory sticks, and from
these suspended an electric lamp. This
gave light that enabled the filing of
the tooth to be satisfactorily accom-
plished, and in an hours time the show
was in full blast, and the dentist, with
his fee in his, pocket, was journeying

How Six Ohio Girls Got Half Dozen
Young Men to Propose.
Six young ladies in Ohio, having re-
ceived attentions from six young men,
exchanged condolences and came to a
mutual understanding, says the Bran
don Banner.
Although matters seemed to be pro-
crossing according to their wishes,
there is still a certain impotence of
victory among Ewes daughters, and
they resolved upon an audacious move
which should prove to the objects of
their affections that they were, one and
all, really good housekeepers-
They fxed upon o day, secured the
house of mutual friend and sent out
six invitations to luncheon that was
to be prepared and served by their own
fair hands. Upon the appointed day
the six young men, punctua to such
an appetizing engagement, were well
coined by six pretty cooks dressed like
the soubrettes in o comedy, with bare
arms, dainty little caps, short skirts
and embroidered white aprons. After
having conducted their guests upon u
tour Of inspection, letting them peep
into the ovens and oversee the cooking
of the beefsteaks, that they might be
sure there was no trickery, they all sat
down to q table decl,ed with flowers
and enjoyed a delicious meal perfectly
served.
