THE sENATE,s PLAN.
Mr.. German Apparently Holds the
Key to the Situation.

MT. norman Apparently Holds the
Key to the Situation.
The brief proceedings in the senate
yesterday, coming after the action Of
the day before, indicate that the parties
In the senate are beginning to line up
There is a slight disaffection on the re-
publican side on the part Of few silver
men. but generally they have adopted
the policy of annoying their opponents
in the majority by insisting upon an i'm
mediate disposition Of the silver cues
ton and therefore resisting every mo-
ton to adjourn and calling for the yeas
and nays to put the senators on record.
One of the republican leaders in finan-
cfal matters said that they would adopt
this line OF action until the majority was
obliged to proceed to business. He in
sisted that the democrats could not
charge the republicans with partisan
action, inaSmuch as they were simply
trying to give immediate effect to the
presidents suggestions as contained in
his message.
On the other hand, the democratic SEN
ators resent the attempt of the repub-
ncans to control the business Of the SEN
ate and dictate the character of Iegisla-
ton that shall be attempted They have
resolved that they will not permit action
until they have themselves agreed upon
a line Of policy, and the conduct of the
republicans has had the effect 10 consoli-
date all Of the elements of the demo-
cratic side upon this resolution.
Meanwhile the democratic caucus COM
mittee is in almost constant session, try
ing to arrange a plan Of action, and the
keenest parliamentarians on the repub-
Hcan side are quietly comforting among
themselves to devise means 90 carry out
their IDEAS, so that the session
in the senate promises to be in
teresting. Between now and Monday
next II Is hoped by the friends of the adj
ministration in the senate that some
possible plan of action may be agreed
upon on the silver question, but there are
slender grounds for confidence on the
developments that have cropped out
thus far.
Senator German appears TO hold the
key to the situation. Not only is he the
chairman Of the democratic caucus, but
he is also chairman OF the steering
himself appointed under the authority
OF the caucus. The committee Is COM
posed Of Senators German, chairman;
Blackburn OF Kentucky, Cockrell of
Missouri, Walthall Of Mississippi, Ran
som Of North Carolina, Villas of WILSON,
sin, Gray of Delaware and White of
Louisiana. Messrs. Blackburn, Cockrell,
Walthall and Ransom are avowed silver
men; Messrs. Villas. Gray and White are
avowedly opposed to free coinage of sill
Yer and stand squarely upon the presi-
dents platform Of unconditional repeal.
But where Senator German stands no
one but himself can tell for he has
taken no one into his confidence.

Last week Marshall Monros received

Last week Marshall Monroe received telegram from Mansfield. Ohio. to look out for one Henry Jones. (coD charged with murder at that place. some ten days previous. From the dis cription, the marshal recognized one nf his tenants, and kept watch tor him. Sunday he was spotted, and in the evening. with the aid of Sheriff Will Hams. and Deputy Wolff the marshal. succeeded in arresting Jones and placed him in jail and telegraphed to the au- thorities in Mansfield. Answer was received Monday, to bring him to Gin cinnati where the Mansfield officers would meet him. consequently Mar shall Monroe with his prisoner left on the evening train for that point.

Hawthorne's Opinion.

Mr.. Julian Hawthorne, who has
written on so many interesting sub
jects ands whose careful diction is
rarely excelled, has been examin-
ing Webster's International diction-
airy, and writes to the publishers as
follows: "Sag Harbor, N. Y, Sept.
Is, 1892. About fifteen months
have now passed since | received a
copy of the new edition of Webster's
Unabridged dictionary, the Inter
national. | have delayed speaking
about the book because | wished to
become well acquainted with it be-
fore pronouncing an opinion. Pre-
vious to getting yours | had been
using the new edition of Worcester.
and | hardly expected to find yours
superior to it. During the first
month or two | used both of them.
bringing them into constant com
petition with each other; but grad
ually | found myself opening Wor-
cester more and more seldom, and
finally | definitely gave it up and
handed it over to the children. The
fact is, Webster's is in all respects
the better dictionary; in my opinion
it is, for all ordinary purposes, the
best dictionary in the world. The
Century" is indispensable for
scholars and specialists, and as
agreeable and instructive reading;
but Webster's is practically as good
and Of course, vastly more conven-
lent. | don't see how it could be
improved, and | am certain that it
will never fail to satisfy any require
ments | shall have occasion to make
of it.
1t gives me pleasure to give you
this testimonial, the more as you
have not asked for it; there are 50
few entirely satisfactory things in
the world, that when one does occur
it ought to be acknowledged and
made known.

On Sunday evening last, some
one who seems to be pretty well
acquainted with the situation in
Brandenburg & Van Gasken's store
on Main street, effected an entrance
during the absence OF Mr.. R. L.

drawer of $1.35. "Nott" had pre-
ceeded the gentlemen to the till,
hence the small amount taken. A
couple of parties in town are sus-
pected and are being watched.

The Citizens of Bonner's
Ferry Observe the
Day Loyalty.
ADDRESSES LOCAL ORATORS
DR.. Cohenour, James E. Dolan and
Frank SchaettIe Render the Liter
AIRY Part of the Program.

VI Vic ulOSJ pleasing anu interesting
services ever held in Bonner's Ferry
was listened to on Tuesday after
noon at the city hall by nearly all
the people of this place. The hall,
through the energy of Messrs Aims
lie and Kinnear was very Hastily
decorated.
The exercises were opened with
music by the Italian orchestra fol-
lowed by an appropriate prayer by
Rev. |. Wheels. Columbia, that
soul-stiring melody, was then sung
by a QUARTET, which was followed
by the reading of the Declaration of
independence by Mr.. Frank Schaet-
tie. Mr.. Schaettle has one of those
full, rich voices which by culture
he has completely under control.
Mr.. Schaettle knew the meaning of
ever word he read and made his
hearers understand the force of the
declaration. Never before have we
heard the spirit Of the document so
fully brought out.
Following this was song by the
quartette, America.
Mr.. James e. Dolan then in a
few well chosen words opened the
way for the orator Of the day. Mr..
Dolan is so well known in Idaho
that no comment on his style of
address is necessary. Those who
heard his remarks can better appre-
ciate their force than those who
read them. Mr.. Dolan said:
1t is qdite evident that this is the
117th anniversary of American in
dependence, therefore it will facili-
tate a proper appreciation Of our
government to turn the telescope
backward and review the course of
events sufficiently to trace the
growth of SO great and prosperous a
Nation from the dawn of its political
existence to the noontide of it's con-
stitutional glory. The massive
trunk and sheltering branches grew
up from plant of Undesirable val
ne and should be sacredly guarded
by us for all time to come.
In this survey and retrospective
view we will discover that the prin-
cipal already well tried which gives
strength to our national life, is the
best that can be found in the his
tory of mankind. 1t secures to the
citizens Of this great and prosperous
Nation an equal right to share in
the guidance and to enjoy the pro-
lection of the government; while
the rulers are but the representa-
tives and servants Of the people, 1t
recognizes "a separation Of church
and state and allegiance to no king
or potentate and gives precedence to
no privileged rank or nobility.
Every citizen is an equal before
the law and an equal subject Of
liberty.
Why do we celebrate? We refer
back to Lees audacious resolutions
for independence, which for the
first time was introduced in con-
gress June Z, 1776:
"That these United Colonies are
and of right ought to be free and in
dependent states: that they are alb
solved from all allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all politi-
cal connection between them and
the state OF Great Britain is and
ought to be totally dissolved. That
it is expedient to take the most eff
fectual measures for forming foreign |
alliances"
These resolutions were discussed /
with considerable spirit and patri-
otism and led up to the appoint

quences.
The declaration reported by the
committee was written chiefly by
that famous and illustrious states
man, Thomas Jefferson, and was
formally adopted on the 4th of July,
1875, and is the noted Declaration
of American Independence, the
greatest document ever composed
and written by man. We have
lived under it now for over one
hundred years of untranquiled
prosperity and progression, and to-
day we have the assurance the grand
old Ship of State, that has ploughed
the rock bound coast of many a
stormy sea, will continue in her
onward course of advancement.
We observe, situated as we are in
the ne plus ultra of the northwest
that we are directly in line of pro
gression, when we consider the fact
that only few years ago our mode
of immigration was by means of
OK and horse team while to-day we
are connected by bands of steel ex-
tending to the shores of the frozen
ocean on the north, the waters OF
the tepid gulf on the south, the
roaring Atlantic on the east and
the placid Pacific on the west.
1t is with honest pride that | re-
fer to the mode of travel to and
from our foreign neighbor on the
north, when | say that we are in
position to compare the steamboats,
that are daily coming into our ports
with any that navigates the inland
waters of this habitable globe. The
British steamers are placed on an
equality with our own and our
ports are open to them to enter with
the imports and products Of British
Columbia and in return depart with
our exports for the Eldrado of the
northwest, the Kootenay Lake
mines.
The celebration of the 4th Of July
brings wildly before us the time
when Idaho was placed in the col
umn Of states comprising the great
nation when we look back three
years ago, the then chief executive
inspired with patriotism signed the
bill giving us the opportunity to
celebrate the natal day under state
hood, therefore we have personal
reason to rejoice with this memoir
ial before us.
In conclusion let us trust that
prosperity and progression will
continue and that the face of adver-
sity will never have occasion to
appear within the state and nation.
A medley of national airs was
then rendered by the orchestra after
which DIR. Cohenour delivered a
very pleasing and instructive adj
dress. The DR.. is one of those
ready speakers who never fail to
know what to say and how to say
it. Without preparation he made
as pleasing speech as we have
listened to in long time. "There
is no country on the face of the
EARTH" said the Doctor, "where the
true spirit Of patriotism is more
manifest than in America"
The services were concluded by
singing freedoms Banner" by
the quartette which was composed
of Mrs. DIR. Campbell, soprano, Mrs.
Eugene Whitney, alto, Mr.. Allan
Bishop, tenor, and Mr.. Frank 0.
Williams, bass, and Mrs. Ed Hol-
lister, accompanist. The music
was all good and especial mention
should be made of the CLOSING SONG
Mexico weekly ledger., 1893-10-05
Home. Sweet Home.

There has been much written on
the above subject and Is much has
been left unsaid. The Christian
home is one place in all this wide
world where hearts are sure OF each
other-where all joys are shared,
and sorrows should be undivided.
1t is the place where we throw OF
the mask of GOODNESS that the world
forces us to wear in self defense.
"Home, Sweet Home" AS John
Howard Payne wrote, There is nc
place like home" How sad indeed,
it was that he never had a home in
this world. 1t is where the dear Old
Book is taken down from the shell
and read that tells of a Savior's un-
dying love. The recollection ofthat
will go with little children all
through life. 1t can be Heaven on
earth, the same as God is every
where, or it can be otherwise. But
we speak only of the good and noble
side of life.
Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles a thousand fold
Is a home and mind at ease
AND simple attractions that always please.
A heart that can feel for a neighbours woe
AND share his joys with a genial glow.
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All the noble souls, as brothers, better than
gold.

A DISH OF ICE 3


COLUMBIA, Mo-, Sept. 29.-At
the recent meeting Of the Missouri
Presbytery of the Southern Presby-
terrain Church Revs. f. w. Sneed
and w. H. Ferguson and Messrs.
N. T.. Gentry, N. D. Thurmond and
and C. Hammond were appointed a
committee to visit the church at
Auxvasse, Galloway county, 10
miles east OF here, where there has
been for several years a serious fac
tional trouble among Presbyterians.
This committee is in session there
to-day and will report to an adj
journed meeting of the Presbytery
to be held in Marshall next month.
The Auxvasse trouble grew out Of a
difference of opinion as to the price
to be charged for a saucer OF ice
cream. It involved the entire
church, caused three persons to re-
sign, brought about the removal Of
an elder, was tried before the Pres
bytery and the Synod and finally
reached the General Assembly o

The Columbia Herald on silver.
From the Elsberry Advance.

The Columbia Herald has more
reason than a great many silver adj
yocates who talk of Is to / or bust,
the parting of the way, etc. 1t says:
ssThe Herald is for free silver. 1t is
for unlimited free silver at the old
ratio of Is to /. But it has no pa
thence with those alleged Democrats
who constantly wish to use a differ
ence Of opinion to drive men out Of
the Democratic party. A man may
be a good Democrat and not favor
free coinage at a ratio of Is to 1. de
may be a good Democrat and have
| doubts about unlimited coinage,
The newspapers and politicians who
are sowing discord on this silvel
question acting the demagogue fol
popularity are enemies to the Dem
ocratic party however bravely they
pose as the only genuine all-woo
Democrats. Democracy means
something more than belief in thli

Was a machine against weak flesh,
and the flesh yielded.
The soldiers got on the trail OF
Hefridge and Mcdonald, both OF
whom died with their hands on their
revolvers. Bass escaped into Texas,
and for several years led a gang OF
desperadoes through the Panhandle
and the Indian Territory. He was
killed in Las Vegas, N. NJ, by cow
boys who were after him. Berry's
death came within a few weeks after
the robbery, and is a story by itself.
This robber was no common man.
He had lived in Audrain county,
Mo-, where he was regarded as a
good-natured, fairly well-to-do hon.
est farmer. He had cattle interests
out somewhere near the trail town
of Ogalalla, in Nebraska, where he
went once or twice a year. Soon
after the Big Springs robbery Berry
came home. He spent some time
in the town of Mexico, the county
seat of Audrain county. His friends
and the best people were among
them-knowing that he was fresh
from the Big Spring country, piled
him with questions about the rob-
berry. Berry answered them all good

TRYING To GET TOGETHER.
Phases OF the Manufacturers Move
ment Now on In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 2S.-
A large number of protected manu-
facturers of Philadelphia have de-
termined to make an alliance with
the silverites to the end that the
protective tariff may be saved fol
at least two years.
They attribute all the recent dis
tress In business to the threats Of
tariff changes and declare that il
would be a mistake to demonetizt
silver.
An open letter written by Whar'
ton Barker to both Houses of Con
gress proposes that assurances b'
given that the protective tariff shall
not be undermined for at least two
years, and that silver shall not b
demonetized.
Many manufacturers have zen

WAY TRAIN ROBBER.
The Biggest Haul of Cash on Record
Berry Brought 100000 in Gold to
Mexie0-The Big Springs,
Neb., Robbery.
From the New York Sun.

One of the most notable OF the
train robberies in the 70s was that of
the Sam Bass gang at Big Springs,
Neb., in 1877, when Sam Bass, Jim
Berry, Bill Hefridge, Jack Davis
and a man named Collins held up
the Union Pacific through train and
took about 800, 0O0from the express
car. At that time the Union Pacific
road was running its own express
The money was ordinary overland
business, and was not for those
days an exceptionally heavy "run."
At a point called Big Springs the
train was stopped by five men, who
compelled the crew to stand together
on the ground while other members
of the party robbed the safe and the
passengers. Nothing was left be-
hind. Any watch, money, chain,
ring, or jewel in sight was put into
a great bag that one of the men car
ried. AS soon as the robbers COM
pleted their work they commanded
the train crew to proceed, and the
five men rode off with their splendid
booty.
Many months were consumed in
bringing these men to time, but
sooner or later most of the money
was recovered, and all the men but
Collins, whose identity or existence
was never very certain, were dead or
