The Significance OF Ii.

There is an effort on the part OF
some of the opposition TO make it APP
pear that the nomination of Mr.. Peck
ham, following the rejection Of Mr.
HOrnblower, through the efforts Of
the New York senators, il merely the
conflict Of personalities; the desire Of
the president to crush Hill and the
purpose Of Hill to thwart the presi-
dent.
We beliye that no such unworthy
motives moves the president There
is no reasonable ground for such a
supposition. Senator Hill, in and Of
himself, is not an object for such a
purpose. He is already crushed. The
national democracy sat down on him
when, in their convention, they brush
ed him aside and selected Mr.. Cleve-
land as their candidate in the face Of
the fierce opposition of the delegation
from his state, which Mr.. Hill has
used his machine to secure for him
self.
The New York democracy finished
the crushing process when they buried
Mr.. Hills candidate for justice Of the
court Of appeals under majority APP
preaching the phenomenal one which
Mr.. Cleveland won in 1892. Clearly
any effort toward crushing Senator
Hill, as an individual, is needless
waste OF energy,-Globe.

10 MORE OF THAT KIND.

The democratic party viii soon be
looking for men to fill places on the
state ticket, and the success Of the
ticket win depend on the fitness and
character Of those selected.
The party will consent to no more
recess" candidates. 1t will consent
to no more candidates who will rise
before the convention and say: al
have my doubts about my ability to
be elected, but will accept the honor
conferred on me; you may put my
name on the ticket; thank you"
A ticket manufactured of such ma
terial will fall to pieces of its own
useless weight. What the party
wants are men with confidence in the
business and righteousness of its prin-
ciples; men who haye confidence in
their own ability 10 snatch victory
from defeat, and men who not finding
a beaten way to success have the dar-
ing to make one.
One Of Napolean's marshals said to
him: "The Alps are between us and
Italy," and he promptly replied:
"Italy is beyond the Alps; away with
impracticabilIties, let us cross the
Alps" The democratic party want
men for their ticket who will not
tremble at their own doubts, who will
not shrink back and shudder at the
shadow of an opposing republican or
populist left in their pathway. We
must have ticket of good men, of
brave men, or we must have none. No
party ever won victory by following
weak leaders and Matchmaking the
road behind it to make easy its re-
treat.

STRICKEN OFFICIALS.
They Mourn the Loss OF Free Passes on
the Railways.


The county officials along the lines
Of the Union Pacific railway system
are very indignant at the total abol-
ishment of the dead head privileges
which they have enjoyed.
Heretofore they were either supplied
with ANIMALS or given free trip passes
to all points on application. These
passes could be obtained by all Of the
county officials, from deputy sheriff
to commissioners. But since the first
of the year, all passes expired and
none have been issued to any county
officials but the assessors.
Why this preference for the asses
SCR and tax collector, is not clear, as
the State Board of Equalization fixes
the regulation Of railway property,
and the only dealings Of the company
with the assessor is TO pay him the
taxes as collector, and take his receipt
for the same.
At any rate he being the only coun.
ty official who is favored with pass,
all others will, henceforth, either have
to pay or walk.-Hailey Times.

For Coming the Seigniorage.

Mr.. BANDS bill for coming the
seigniorage silver may come up early
next week. Some indiscreet friends
Of silver are beginning to say that the
debate over this bill will be renewal
of the Sherman act controversy Of
last year.
1t will be well for silver if this kind
OF talk is shut off before the bill is
called up in the House. The seign-
forage silver Is an asset of the Treas
ury over and above the amount re.
CURED for redeeming the outstanding
Treasury notes under the law OF the
issue Of the notes. To use this asset
for the relief Of the Treasury is a to-
tally different proceeding from buying
bullion, and should not be permitted
to become confused in the public
mind with the cowardly makeshift of
1890.
Turning an idle stock Of silver INTO
available money is good business. No
inancier doubts that $4,000, 900 more

GOUNOD'S CHILDHOOD.

Gounod must have been a wonder
full child, if we are to believe all the
stories we are told regarding him. At
the age of two, in the gardens of Passy,
where he was taken for an exercise, he
would say, "That dog barks in sol |"
and the nelghbors used to call him lie
petit musician. The baby, scarcely
out of leading strings, felt, too, so it is
said, the mournful character of the
interval of minor third. He had
been listening to the different cries of
the street vendors. Oh, he exclaimed
suddenly, that woman cries out do
that weeps. This because the poor
woman hawked her cabbage and car
rots on the interval formed by the
notes c and E fiat.
Nine. Bovet tells similar anecdote
OF another OF the French composers.
One day when visitor suffering from
great lameness entered his mothers
room, little Camille Saint.Saens-the
future composer of "Samson ct Della"
who was playing in the adjoining
room, struck by the unaccustomed
rhythm OF the step, exclaimed, "How
funny! That gentleman makes a
croche pointee as he walks" One
must take all these stories Of musical
prodlgies with the proverbial grain of
salt but there can be no doubt that
genius in this direction generally does,
In some way or other, reveal itself very
early.

advertisement is taken: "Wanted-
To engage a cripple for seaside
resort. Good references and a small

nouncement is explained by the fact
that the proprietors of hotels and
boarding houses at French watering
places assume that visitors would be
disposed to give aims, if an oppor-
tunity were afforded them; and, as they
cannot very we'll do the begging them
selves, they engage professional beg
gars, to whom they grant permission to
solicit aims on their premises, and the
beggars, in return, pay them one-half
of their daily receipts.

THE STORY OF LIFE.

Say, what is life? 'Tis to be born;
hapless b abe, TO greet the light
With a sharp wall, as if the morn
Fo-etold a cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep and weep again,
With sunny smiles between, and then?
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
Were he but conscious Of his joy;
To be, in short, from two to ten,
A merry. moody child and then?
And then, in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the Decalogue,
And break 1t. an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agOg;
A truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies, and then?
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, n youth full grown;
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sins, and then?
And then, at last, to be man,
To fall in love; to WOO and wed;
With soothing brain to scheme and plan,
To gather gold, or toll for bread;
To sue for fame with tongue or pen,
And gain or lose the prize; and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled old
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes his youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of Lang Syne.
To dream q while with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then?
