WASHINGTON, ID. c.,

Senator Jones. OF Arkansas, who
has just returned from "A visit home.

On the contrary, he says, it is get

The debate on the resolution to
seat Col. Dupont as Senator from
Delaware is on, and may last ten
days or longer. The Republicans
are much disturbed over rumor
that the Populists will join the
Democrats in voting down the res
olution.
Senator Allen, Of Nebraska, ex-
poets to be chairman of the Senate
Committee that will investigate the
last Alabama Senatorial election, If
his resolution, which has bv a
partisan vote been reported from
the committee on Elections, be
adopted. But that elf" is u form
liable one, in view OF the attitude
OF the Democratic Senators towards
this unconstitutional resolution.

While the President can ignore
the concurrent resolution, Congress
can compel him to carry out its
wishes If it can get two-thirds Of
both the House and the Senate TO
vote for a joint resolution express.
ing those wishes. because that mum
Der of votes will be sufficient to
pass the same over the Presidents
veto. which would make 1T law.
Some think that this will be the
final outcome of the matter, but
they are merely Guessing. there is
nothing in sight to indicate it.
Mistakes have been made before
by President Cleveland, and some
of his most ardent admirers think
that he is making a mistake in not
acting in accordance with the con.
current resolution against which n
total of only % votes were cast in
both branches OF Congress, and
which they believe TO represent the
sentiments Of large majority Of
citizens Of the United States. But
whether one thinks the President
right or wrong in this matter it is
impossible not to admire the moral
courage Of the man who can stand
up in the face of public opinion and
Congress and say 81 will not do
this thing because / do not believe
it is the right thing to do"

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having
heard a lecture at our Countyseat, delivered
by Gen. j. Il. Gordon, of Georgia, On The
LAST Days Of the War;" which was very
loyal to the Northern soldiers and to the
Stars and Stripes, would like to know if
he was a friend of the soldiers while in the
Senate. He said he served three terms in
the Senate. Please answer in your paper
l am great friend of the Southern soldiers
if they have repented; but if not, ! am no
friend of theirs. / lost two brothers in the
late war, and served three years and nine
months myself. i was engaged in "a battles

Gen. Gordon is undoubtedly sincere in
his protestations of loyalty. As to his atti-
tude toward the Union soldiers, we cannot
recall now that he ever distinguished him.

is that he generally voted as did the rest OF
those from his section on matters relating tc

From the tree to the top of the mountain
it was rough, indeed, but much smoother than
from the tree to the bottom. It was thought
best to take it TO the top and then down wind
ing wagon way to the mill.
But how to get it to the top was the question.
The mountain was SO very rough that mules
could not stand, two yoke OF oxen we're

The oxen were led single file until the logs
were reached. then the start was made block

be carried, or rather dragged. 700 yards up be-

Inch by inch they were moved until it came

her lily white hands nimbly play those ivory

Hunting the wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain Goat as
it is indiscriminately called, is species of big
game rarely hunted by sportsmen. This is not
so much because of the difficulty of killing the
animal, nor because of its actual rarity. It is
stupid animal. easily shot when once found.

grounds, rs are bear, dear elk, etc. It is re-
mots from the common localities, but whore

high up In the mountains, above timber line
usually, among rocks and cliffs. This requires
great labor to get to it, but once there the
hunter will get his game nine times out Of ten.

Mans DoU-Gfe Romance,


By the ripping stream decaying.
Sheltered by the signing trees,
Stands the mill with yane still swaying
In the August evenings breeze.
Boards have fallen, while the shingles
In the roof have given way,
Meath the wheel the water tingles
Onward, where it used to play.
Moss now clothes the wheel of motion,
That once turned our old-tine mill
How our hearts swell with emotion
When we think with passing thrill
OF our school days. when its portals
Rang with strains of song and bow,
Where we danced, care free of mortals
Planned the morn's alluring glow.
One by one the set was broken.
Home was left to win renown,
Death. too. sealed the lips outspoken
or orr friends in that old town. j.
Years have passed. those boyhood rambles
Are in fancy taken still,
Overgrown with weeds and brambles
Lies that dear old ruined mill.
