A DEMOCRATIC PRAYER.
Merceline journal.

MerceHne JOURNAL.
Oh, thou great and almighty Cleve-
land! Thou art great beyond all
others. Thou art powerful, for thou
holdest the offices in the hollow of
thy hand. Oh, master, thou art be-
yond all comprehension! Before
thee there was none other, neither
shall there be any after thee, for thou
shalt be our King. Oh, mighty
Cleveland! We worship thee on the
altar of allegiance to thee. Kick US
out of the White House, give the Of
fees to our enemies, sell US into cap
uvity-to Wall street. We will wor-
ship thee and be satisfied, for is it
not written that the dogs shall eat
the crumbs that fall from the mas
ter's table? Before thee, mighty
chief, we bow, we lie down and
crawl, we eat dirt. We swear that
we have lied all the balance of our
days; we asked for silver when we
should have asked for gold; we asked
for more money when we should have
asked for less; we asked for better
prices when we should have asked for
less; we asked for the repeal of the
Mckinley tariff when we should have
asked to have it let alone. Thou, o!
mighty Cleveland, seest these things
better than we do, thou knowest bet
ter than all of us put together. We
are a stencil in the nostrils of thy roy.
al fatness. We are not fit to put fish
worms on thy hook when thou goest
a fishing on Decoration Day, hence
thou hast purchased a device, even a
bottle-shaped device. We worship
thee. Among all our tribe thou
couldst not find one for second rul-
er over US, and thou givest us Gresh-
am, the captain of the hosts of our
enemies, to rule over us. Oh, mighty
Cleveland, we worship thee and none
other but thee. If we have erred it
is because of the false prophets, JEFF
ferson and Jackson; they misled US.
Pardon US, oh! mighty chief, and
never again will we believe anything
they taught. Sit thou on us with the
avoirudpois of thy wrath. Make
monkeys and dogs of us to please thy
Wall street friends. Give us great
chunks of wisdom as thou seest fit,
for which we will give thee great gobs
of sweat and mountains OF products.
Give us an Office occasionally. For.
give our political sins even ss We sur.

M. RlCHA.D's STATEN ESr.
Something More About the u.o...,..
OF Placer Ground In The Basin.

J. r. Richards, one of the reloca-
tors OF the Idaho Bedrock Flume
company's ground on More and Elk
creeks, makes the following state.
ment in the Statesman:
Apropos of the recent article,
which have appeared in your paper
concerning the recent locations Of
placer ground in Boise county. / de.
sire to say that in making the loca-
tions on More creek near Idaho Citv.
as we'll as in other locations made At
that time, they were made to con-
form as nearly as possible with the
United States survey as required by
law upon surveyed land. By so do
ing the lines would necessarily come
in conflict with those of old locations
made under local customs and rules
OF miners; in all such cases, however.
the owners were seen in person,
where possible, and bond taken up-
on their property, or notice given
them that all valid conflicts would be
waived.
1t is not the purpose of the recent
locators to interfere in anywise with
the valid rights of either the Bedrock
Flume company, or Of any miner.
The ground claimed by the Bedrock
Flume company near Idaho City is
principally what is known as etailines"
(ground that has once been worked)
and there are hundreds of acres of
similar ground on Elk, More, Grimes
and other creeks In the "Basin."
We shall be perfectly willing to
quit-claim to any one who has valid
title.
Our purpose is not to "Dog in the
Manger" the material advancement of
Boise basin, and we will in no wise
interfere with any movement looking
to substantial advancement. We
have sufficient uncontested ground
upon which to begin our operations,
and if within the next year we are
not able to demonstrate our good
faith, and mark an epoch in the his
tory of mining operations in Boise
county, we will gracefully yield the
ground to other corporations who
may indefinitely continue to play the
parts assigned in the time honored
creation, entitled: Hopes De-
ferred, or the Bedrock Flume."

Ownership Of Railroad
Warrington Independent

In 1889 the railroads of Russia paid
the government net surplus of $77,-
100000. Taking this as a basis the
railroads of the United States would
pay all the State and national taxes.
India has 10000 miles of government
railroads, magnificent depots and iron
telegraph poles. The poor people of
India average only 7 cents per day.
The railroad fair is only one. seven
teenth of cent per mile. So they
can ride 1l9 miles for the price of a
days labor. The average price per
day in the United States for labor is
about $1.50. There is a wide differ
erence between Z cents and $1.5O,
yet the American laborer can only
ride about fifty miles for a days
work. The citizens of India can ride
about sixty-nine miles farther for the
price of days work than the Amer
loan citizen,

Selmon City Recorder.
On last Friday morning Grandpa
Martin started from town to walk to
the cemetery to meet Tom Andrews,
who was assisting in the burial of Mr..
Skully. He went through w. J.
bryan's field, and in trying to
climb the fence at point just in
front of Bryan's house he slipped and
fell into the big ditch, and falling un-
der the fence was unable to get out.
Mrs. Bryan was alone in the house at
the time and was finally attracted to
the spot by the barking of the dog,
and on going to his assistance found
him clinging desperately to the fence
as the only means of keeping his
head out of the water. She worked
and tried for some time and at last
succeeded in extrlcating him from his
perilous position. She helped him
into the house and dried his clothes,
which we're cIotted with mud. After
getting dry and warm he started
again for the cemetery, but tainted
and fell before he reached there.
He was taken to the Hot Springs and
at last accounts was improving,
though still very weak. 1t seems al.
most incredible that a small woman
like Mrs. Bryan, who weighs but lit
tie more than 100 pounds, could lift
such weight, as Mr.. Martin weighs
over $50 pounds; but she is a plucky
little lady and managed it somehow,
thereby undoubtedly saving his life.
Mr.. Martin is past eighty years of
age, and though strong and hearty
for his advanced years, cannot han.
die himself as he used to, hence the
accident. He must have been IN the
water nearly an hour, and was thor
oughly chilled.

A MOUNTAIN HOME special to the
Statesman says that in the case of
the State VS.. Asa S. Abbott a verdict
of not guilty was rendered on the
2Sth. The court room was crowded
and there was loud applause. Judge
Stockslager ordered the Sheriff to ar
rest every man in the court room, but
the ladies were allowed to depart in
peace. The Judge severely repri-
manded all present for unbecoming
conduct in Court. The case grew
out of an affray last summer between
Abbott and John Arthur, in which
the latter was cut.

About thirty men are employed at

They are extending the main flume
up on the west side of the gulch and
will put in laterals and work up al
