The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-12-03

The Thanksgiving party given
in the [. O. o. F. hall in Challis,
last Thursday evening, was a
very pleasant affair. Although
the attendance was not overly
large the hall appeared crowded,
which, perhaps, was owing to
the fact that nearly all the ladies
were attired with large balloon
like sleeves, which are said to be
the latest style. Excellent ban
quets were given at both hotels.
The following ladies and gentle
men were present
Mrs. Thos. Chivers,
Mrs. VIM. Millick,

The homeless author of Home,
Sweet Home" John Howard
Payne, poor but genial hearted
man, was walking with his friend
in London, and pointing to one
of the most aristocratic houses
in Mayfield, he said Under
that window | composed the song
of Home, Sweet Home as l
wandered about without food, or
a resemblance of shelter I could
call my own. Many a night
since l wrote those words, that
issued out of my heart by abso-
lutte want of a home, have | pass
ed and repassed in this locality,
and heard a siren voice coming
from within those gilded walls,
in the depth of dim, cold Lon
don winter, warbling Home,
Sweet Home, while l, author of
them, knew no bed to call my
own. I have been in the heart
of Paris, Berlin, or London, or
some other city, and have heard
the people singing Home, Sweet
Home, without a penny to buy
the next meal or place to put
my head in. The world has lit
orally sung my song until every
heart is familiar with its melody.
My country has turned me ruth
lessly from Office, and in my old
age I have to submit to humilia-
ton for bread"

THE TIMES CIRCULATION.

Phenomenal Increase Leads Its Rival
to Resort TO Underhnnd Methods.
Since The Times began publishing its
sworn circulation statements, cries OF
distress have from time to time been
heard from tho camps Of its competitors
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was overtaken and distanced in the race
for popularity that underhand methods
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
business transactions. were called into use
The numerous merchants who have been
approached and who have kindly kept The
Times Informed, afford other advertisers
the best evidence of the strength of The
Times, aud Its value as an advertising
medium strength that cannot be shaken
SO long as more than 100, 900 readers daily
say that The Times is their favorite paper.
The total number of copies of The Times
actually sold and distributed during the
past week was 2sS, 495, showing a gain
over the preceding week OF 1,o2s, and
sc, ,942 more than its nearest rival These
figures speak for themselves and are not
affected by slanderous tongues.
Circulation brings results, and merchants
who use The Times obtain the results for
which they advertise. -

MIR. HARMoS,s REGRETS.

In view of the splendid enthusiasm that
has been exhibited for the cause of free
Cuba, immediately under the eyes and
within earShot of the Attorney General of
the United States, ii is not surprising that
that high official should procure an in
terview with himself and admit frankly
that he was ridiculous when he advised an
inquirer that it would be "sliscourtesy to
Spain" 10 hold mass meetings to express
sympathy with the struggling Cuban
patriots.
There is nothing to condemn in Mr.. Har-
mons frank and breezy condemnation of
himself. Prefacing bis request for alb
solution by the remark that ''aa honest CON
fession is good for the SOUL" Mr.. Harmon
freely says that If be had been blessed
with more extended official experience
he would not have written the offensive
letter. He did not look upon it as an
official opinion, and failed 10 realize how
close any public expression of his, es-
pecialIy upon this subject, would be scanned
and criticised.
These words are in every way commenda-
BILE. The apology is accepted with a
sincere hope that the honest but disagree
able confession will act as balm of Gilead
to the wound his soul has suffered from
the keen shafts of criticism and ridicule.
On some evening of the not distant future,
when no American will refuse. either on
account OF diplomacy, society or snobbery,
TO lift up his voice for the Cuban patriots,
Attorney General Harmon will doubtless
be found upon the rostrum shouting his
loudest in advocacy of recognition of the
Cubans as belligerent force.

GOOD RADIANCE.

While the solemnity> of passing upon the
fate of a human creature, whether he
shall live or be killed by process OF law,
must always rest heavily upon courts and
turies, and the public from which these
bodies are drawn, the prompt decision or
The jury in the ease OF Durrant, the San
Francisco criminal, who has been so much
in view for some time, is welcome con-
clusion of a nauseating performance.
While the evidence in the case was purely
circumstantial, it was almost as forceful
as the testimony of eye witnesses could
nave been, and the Judgment is no surprise.
The plblic will be glad TO put the horrible
case out of sight and out of mind. As in
all such trials, the morbid curiousity OF an
element of both sexes, exhibited in varied
expressions of emotion and sentiment, gave
the court sessions an additional repulsive-
ness.
Thistrial and that of the more spectacnlas
criminal, Holmes, emphasize the oft-re-
peated argument that criminal trials should
be held in private and the doors closed in
the faces of those whose diseased sensi-

presence ofluathsome criminals, fascinated
by the gruesome details of managing and
murder, led even to shower favors upon
the human monstrosities of the dock.
Criminal and police courts are schools of
crime when they are open to the public.
They are frequented by the class which
finds pleasure in contemplation of the
grotesque, debased and horrible. Their
contact is degradation. Refinement it
self is tarnished in their presence, and
purity poisoned by their atmosphere.
II hearings must be public, courts should
shorten the trials as far as is possible. The
Durtant case appears TO have been I'M
neeessarily prolonged, in accordance with
popular demand, which seems to grow
in strength the farther one goes West.

FOREMOST AMONG NATIONS.

The report just submitted by DR.. William
T. Harris, United States Commissioner OF
Education, makes an exhibit of which
the people may well be proud, for it shows
that this country stands at the very head
OF the list in the matter Of public school
education. The figures adduced cover the
year ended November 80, 1898, and it is
learned from them that over fifteen mil
lion pupils-or more than % per cent. of the
entire population, were enrolled in the
public and private schools and colleges OF
the country. 1t is an exhibit gratifying
in the extreme.
Popular education has made n stronger
forward movement in the United States
than in almost any other country Not
only has there been steady increase in
the average of enrolment, but also in the
average of attendance, which is proof
that the value of education is appreciated
more fully all the time. A significant
fact in this connection is that as a rule there
has been considerable difficulty in having
the school accommodations keep even step
with the increased attendance. That diff
CultS las DSeH stFtklliElE eApeflcnceu mere
in Washington, but there is some consola-
ton to be derived from the contemplation
of the fact that we are not alone in this
respect.
AS for the expansion of the course of in
struction, there has been a noteworthy
forward movement. the leading charac-
teristic of which is the addition of manual
training as a part of the public school
curriculum. This shows that due account
is. taken Of. the necessities of the masses,
while the superior quality of the high
and normal schools gives great opportuni-
TEST those who want to fit themselves more
elaborately for a career. .Anotherremarkable
fact is that In the period of greatest school
activity the number of female teachers
increased seventy per cent, and that popular
illlteracy is greatest in those countries in
which the female teacher is either alto
gether absent or found only in the eiemen-
tary grades.
All these facts are worth studying, for
they give warrant for the assertion that the
people of the United States are expanding
intellectually as well as materially more
rapidly than those of any other civilized
country.

CHASTITY, BUT NECESSARY.

Among the Recommendations contained
IN the Commissioners estimates for the
next fiscal year is an item providing for
o morgue. That which passes by that
name now would disgrace backwoods
village.
Washington is fairly well equipped with
hospitals, ambulances and all other nee
essaries to succor suffering huma nifty, but
lacks the commonest couveniences for tai
ing care of the unknown dead found now
and then within its limits. There are a abso-
-utely no facilities for keeping bodies for
any length of time for the purpose Of iden-
tificatiOn. II a body is fou nd whose
identity needs TO be established it is
taken to little room in the rear of a
police station, which is without the most
necessary applia nees either of proper san
itation or keeping the remains decently
for the inspection OF anxious inquirers.
1t Is not difficult to imagine the feel
tngs of near relative who would see the
remains of some one dear to him among
such surroundings as are presented by The
so-called morgue of this city. With all
the improvements of every kind that have
been undertaken here within the last
twenty years, it is hard to understand
why a proper morgue, so essential a fea-
ture OF well-regula:ed police department,
has not long since been supplied. The
reasons for refusing an appropriation for
It and for the necessary service incident
to II are past all finding ont. Congress,
It is 10 be hoped, will see the justice OF
the Commissioners request and viii lose
no time In granting 1t.

coMMoN-sENsE CAMPAIGN

The Times gladly acknowledges the
receipt of a copy of memorial addressed
to the "national committees representing
the Democratic and Republican parties Of
the United States" from the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce, cmbodyiDg for
cible preamble, whereases and resolutions
praying for a short campaign next year in
the contest for the possession of the chief
executive office.
The memorial recitcs that while business
interests are rapidly recovering from a
disastrous financial depression, the re-
covery Is not yet complete, and that the
agitation of long campaign would be a
very undesirable diversion.
Such requests of the political destinics
which shape the ends of national campaigns
shonld have much influence, and there are
already substantial Indications that they
are quite In sympathy with a general de-
sire that is already well understood.
Nobody who breathes beneath the ce-
IestIal canopy, save and except the pro-
fessional politicians, harbors the least
wish for an extended period OF stump
oratory. At best the average campaign
speech is but resurrection and rejuvcua-
ton OF cadavers that should be permitted to
remain undisturbed in the sepulchres of
dead struggles.
Employer and workman, capitalist and
clerk. farmer and manufacturer, are alike
willing to dipsense with the luxury of
listening to concstenation of attenuated
harangues, which are usually sound aud
fury and without significance, until the
day of election is near at hand and bit of

TALKED WITH O'RERRALL
ttorney Marbury and Judge Chi
chester Called to Richmond.
They Conferred Over the Pending
Prosecution of the Gamblers and
Mapped Out the Campaign.

Some decidedly interesting intelligence
from Richmond reached the city yester-
day in relation to the suppression OF the
gambling dens in Alexandria tyagainst
which The Tinies mas waged warfare
which has recently resulted In the finding
OF true bills by the Alexandria county
grand jury against the more prominent
of the gambling gang.
Mr.. Leonard Marbury, the comInonwefiith
attorney of Alexandria county, who has
pushed the cases against tile crooks ara
who has been winning golden opinions
from many or the people of washington
for his bold stand in the prosecution OF
the offenders, and Judge Chichester, who
has been oItspoken OH this subject have
been recently IN Richmond IN conference
with Gov. D'Ferraii and Attorney General
Scott, of Virginia.
These officers were summoned TO Rich
mond by Telegraph on Thursday and came
back TO Alexandria yesterday afternoon
a great deal fimportanceattachesto their
visit, in vicw OF the facts that the prosecu-
tions of the gamblers is now on ana That
the governor of Virginia has brief OF evi-
dence furnished him by the Eoard or
Trade, who, accompanied by Judge hiiii-
ball, Mr.. Pardon, f. l.. Moore, and Joln
B. Wight, made a personal call ON the
governor last summer and Impressed upon
him the seriousness as regarded WASH
ington OF the permitted continuance OF
those sha anleful evils across the river.
The visit of Judge Chichester aud Mr..
Marbury has given rise to the impression
that Governor OFerrall is now about to
move actively in the prosecutions. In the
abseuce of any positive Information as TO
what occurred at the conference between
these officials, 1t is easily inferable that the
gravity OF the situation was discussed, and
especially as the governor and attorney
general asked for a statement OF affairs I'D
the county OF Alexandria.
Mr.. Marbury was seen by The Times yes
terday and was asked for some account of
this secret conciaVe, but he did not commit
himself further than to say that plans were
discussed for the betternlent of the morals
of that part of the county which is now un-
der the ban of public opinion.
IL is safe to say, too, that at the next
term OF the county court. which viii be
convened on the fourth Monday OF the pres
eut month. Alexandria county VIII receive a
shaking up such as 1t has never had before.
The civil business will be out of the way
in time to allow sufficient attention to the
questions which were brought prom
inentiy to the notice OF the good people
Of that county by The Times very often
last summer.
The county court completed the business
of the present term yesterday evening,
when several small civil suits were dis
posed of. and adjourned. This has beeu
the busiest term of Judge Chichester
court for many years. and the la and order
| element in the county are greatly delighted
at the way Mr.. Marbury is pushing the
prosecutions against the gamblers and Other
! law brea kers.
