OF ali the addresses delivered in the
country this year in honor of Abraham
Lincon's birthday, the best, or at least
the most noted one was, strangely en-
ough, that of gentleman who battled
with his pen and his brilliant intellect
for the "Lost Causen during the days
when President Lincoln was struggling
'for the right as God gave him to see
the right.n Col. Henry Watterson,
then a young man, first in little sheet,
following the corps of the confederate
army, and later on in the Nashville
Banner was doing brilliant work in up-
holding the principles for which the
South was striving to go out of the
Union. Now, after thirty years of time
has whitened the hair of this now dis
tinguished editor and orator, it is left
for him to pronounce the most eloquent
words of praise for the man whom he
boldly claims was inspired of God.n
How fitting it is that the man who will
live in the memories of countless gen.
erations should have the most eloquent
words uttered in his praise by one who
once was his enemy! This is truly the
healing of the Nations wounds which
the immortal Lincoln 80 devoutly
prayed for.

The NUGaEr respectfully suggests to
the members of the Idaho Legislature
that the people are growing very tired
of their obstinacy in sticking so long to
their fayorites in the Senatorial contest.
The people of the state realize that
there are other good men in this COM
monwealth besides Messrs. Shoup,
Sweet and Clagett, and as it is evident
no one of these gentlemen is going to
secure msjority of the votes why long
er delay compromising on some other
good man? The NUGGET has already
named gentleman whose election
would rebound to the honor of the state
and in whose hands every interest of
Idaho would be safe. Unite on Monte
B. Gwinn, gentlemen.

An exchange gets off the following
" hich is uot bad Wanted-a friend,
one who will recognize me when am
compelled to wear patched pants; who
will take my hand as am sliding down
hill instead of giving me kick to has
ten my descent; who will lend me q
dollar without two dollars security;
who will come to me when am sick;
who will pull off his coat and fight when
odds are at two to one; who will talk Of
me behind my back as he talks to my
face. Such a friend is wanted by ten
million human beings throughout the
world.

1t is amusing to read in the reports
of the Senatorial proceedings Che stand
that Hill, Reed, Sherman & Co take in
regard to bi-metalism. They all claim
to be bi-metalists and insist on main
tanning the parity of the two metals but
their method of doing it is, to say the
least, original. They insist on intro
ducing clause in the new bond issue
making them payable in gold in place
of coin, and by some process of reason
ing, known only to themselves, claim
that by SO doing they keep the two
metals at parity. There is no one
with grain of common sence but what
knows thatTsuch discrimination wonld
result in the appreciation of gold.
Even our old Rocky Mountain n Canary,
could be speak, could tell us that We
have an account of one of his ancestors
who held conversation with one Ba-
laam and it was very much superior, as
far as common sense is concerned, to
that of Hill, Sherman, Reed & Co.

An exchange says an editor was writ
ing mp local theatrical entertainment
and he wanted to be particularly nice
about it, so mentioned the names of
several young ladies of the town and
wrote "they all filed their parts to per-
fection." He then went home to quiet
ly pray for forgiveness for the lies he
he bad told. The printers went on
with their diabolical conspiracy to drive
all editors insane, and when the paper
appeared and was delivered to its pat
rons it was found that they had put an
IN" in the place of an "r' in the word
"parts" The girls ell have big broth
ers and the editor is hiding in swamp
full of ravenous animals and poisonous
serpents.

Waking Up.

San Francisco business men are now
stretching their limbs and yawning aft
er Rip Van Winkle sleep of twenty
years and awaking to the fact that they
are away behind the age and have lost
their trade through letting the Southern
Pacific Railroad run their affairs. They
have at last made up their minds that
if that city ever amounts to anything
more than preserve for the fossils of
the golden bonanza days of long ago,
they will have to bestir themselves.
Their first move to do something that
looks like enterprise is to inaugurate a
moye to construct a railroad into the
rich San Joaquin valley and ultimately
to Los Angeles, partially paralleling
the Southern Pacific. If they had be-
gun this business of building railroads
twenty years aso and had constructed
the much talked of line from Red Bluffs
to Boise City and Butte they might now
be almost controlling the trade of vast
and rich Idaho and Montana mining
districts to which none of their travel
ing men ever come, except occasion
ally cigar drummer or fellow with a
tape line who measures greenhorns for
"sheep clodings."
The San Francisco business men once
enjoyed all the best trade of these sec
tions, but the trouble with them is that
for twenty years or more they have
been congratulating each other, or rath-
or, gloryfying in the fact that they are
old timers and while doing so the rust
ling eastern manufacturers and trades
men have been pushing into every COR
ner of the Wsst where trade was to be
secured and outreaching them. We
Eow scarcely ever find Californian
who is at all informed of the resources
of any regions outside of his own state
and Nevada. Even the newspapers OF
San Francisco seldom mention mine
or an enterprise outside Of these two
states. There is more rustic in one
week in Denver to reach and secure the
trade of Idaho than there is in a year
in San Francisco. When they get
through yawning and rubbing their
eyes down there by the Golden Gate
we hope they will look up this way and
learn that there may still be q chance
for them to improve their condition by
the building of a road to
Boise and Butte.

THE CHILD WIZ


General Marcellus Clay, Of Lax.
iugton, KY, who recently married
his ward, fifteen-year-old girl, i
having his wife fitted for her new
high station in life. He has engaged
. governess to come to White Hall,
his palatial residence, to give Mrs.
Clay lessons in department, music
and the ordinary branches Of learn
ing. Mrs. Clay il only . child in
years and has little more than the
rudiments of an education. She
has had absolutely no advantages
Of society. and is 10 ignorant Of the
Rraces of dress and department rs
Of mathematics and the sciences.
Miss Martin, the new governess. is
expected to make u finished lady OF
her and is to be paid q liberal sal.
airy. Her father, II. G. Martin,ais a
well-known lawyer who was the war
comrade of General Clay.
The Clays live an utterly retired
life at White Hall. Mrs Clay has
been visited BY none of the neigh
bors and neither she nor her aged
husband quits their massive coun-
try house. They have but very few
servants, and the young bride has
been attending to cooking just as
she did before her strange marriage.
Now that she is to be made lady,
che will hire servants aud study
housekeeping.
General Clay is as devoted to the
girl as ever and has lost nothing of
his former eccentricity. His chill.
dren have had nothing to do with
him, with the exception of his ille-
climate son, Lonnie Clay, who was
born during his fathers sojourn in
St. Petersburg as Minister to Russia.
