A Breach of Executive Etiquette.

The President is being severely
criticised for disregard of those So
cial amenities, which are the high
est duty, in his station as chief
executive of the nation. The first
great breach of etiquette which he
committed was not returning the
call of the Infanta while she was in
Washington az a representative of
the Qneen of Spain, and the latest
exhibition of discourtesy is that
which he has just shown to the
widow and daughter of General
Grant. 1t has been traditional
custom that the wife of an EXPIRES
ident, when visiting Washington, is
always entitled to social courtesies
from the White House, and the fact
that Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris
lave been in Washington for near
ly a fortnight, and no courtesies
exchanged between these distin-
guished ladies and the officers Of
the present administration, is being
much discussed in the high circles
of the capital city. The customary
formal reception of President and
Mrs. Cleveland seems to have been
omitted on account of Mrs. Grants
presence in the city, to avoid pre-
sumably any recognition Of that
lady. The friends of General Grant
are indignant, and regard such in
territorial discourtesy as an insult
to the great hero of the war, who
was twice President, and was serv-
ing his country when Grover Cleve-
land was unknown beyond the city
of Buffalo.

The Outlook Gloomy in Ceur dAlene

The wage question is still agitat-
ing Wallace and the surrounding
mining camps. The offer of So 25
per day all round has been rejected,
and there seems to be no Immediate
prospect for an amicable adjust
ment of the question. The Knights
of Labor held meeting in Wallace
last week and some of their number
conferred with the mine owners,
but all attempts at reconciliation
proved futile. The indications are,
at present, that every mine in the
district will be shut down. The
steady decline in the price of lead
will not warrant the mines continu-
ing operations at the rate of wages
demanded by the miners. A mass
meeting was held at Wardner last
week, which was attended by miners
and business men of ali classes.
Its object was the discussion Of the
rate of wages to be paid by the
Bunker Hill. Some Of the miners
were in favor of working for Is
cents per day less in the hope of
inducing the mine owners to keep
the mines running under the pres,
ent low price of lead. The opposi-
ton was too strong and the proposal
was rejected, so the night shift was
laid off while the day shift contin-
ues at So and So SO per day for the
present. With the oscillating state
of affairs, it is difficult to forsee
what the result will be.

PERHAPS some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy Is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this REM
edy is taken as soon as cold has been
contracted, and before it has settled IN
the system, it will counterfeit the effect
of the cold and greatly lessen its severity,
and it is the only remedy that will do
this. 1t acts in perfect harmony with ma
ture and aids nature IN relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions, liquefyiDg
the mucus and causing its expulsion from
the air cells of the lungs aud restoring
the system to a strong and healthy con-
dition. No other remedy IN the market
possesses these remarkable properties.
No other will cure cold so quickly

Tickled to Death and Frightened Too

Governor Mcconnell newer had
so much fun in all his life as he ex-
perienced in Malad City last Mon
day. 1t was Il regular High Jinks
affair. He drank and laughed, and
drank oftener than he laughed, un-
til he felt like he had tumbled into
honey; and all this hilarity was
owing to the visit of this guber-
material Menus to the city Of Nc
Connell worshippers. The artillery
Numbered, the bands played "Lo,
the Conquering Hero Comes" and
the men shouted "Rah for Governor
Mcconnell and sang hallelujah
until they grew hoarse. The second
coming Of the Savior could not be
hailed with greater demonstrations
of JOY than was manifested upon
this momentous occasion. All the
towns of the county we're repre-
sented at the grand jolli6cation.
It was an epoch in the history of
Malad City and the chief event in
the governors official career. After
a Misunderstanding reception in the
evening at the Opera House, the
hero of the day made brief speech
telling the people all he knew
and lots he didn't know-about the
irrigation of arid lands. After mu-
sic by the band, the curtain dropped

ended. But where, Oh where, was

Lewiston Tribune: An interesting
marriage ceremony was performed
in this city last Friday by Rev
Samuel Woods, the moving factor
in the event being big six-shootel
carried by Deputy Sheriff Sidney
Tracey of Dayton, wherewith to
persuade the groom should be be-
tray symptoms Of reluctance to &C.
cept matrimonial honors. William
Turner Wooten and Ida Emma
Wooten ofColumbia county, Wash,
are second cousins, and of course
affectionately disposed toward each
other, but their attachment was
manifested in such ways that the
girls father concluded that the
sanction Of the law would be best
for his side of the house. The laws
of the State of Washington, how
ever, forbid the rite of marriage be-
tween cousins, so the anxious faith
er placed the devoted couple under
the charge of the officer with the
big gun and sent them to Lewiston
to secure the desired legality.
