Free SilyeriteS in Washington Fear Other

Washington. August ?O.--At both the
Democratic and Populist headquarters
serious alarm Is felt over the situation
in Idaho. where the Democrats and
Popuhsts have effected a fusion which
will leave out the silver Republicans.
The managers at both headquarters
consider that this combination at the
expense Of the silver Republicans Is a
violation Of the spirit Of the free silver
campaign. which seeks TO combine all
the silver forces, and they fear it's ef-
feet on the silver Republicans Of other
western states. They believe that the
different forces should combine on
even and Just terms and effect Il d.
vision such as was made In Minnesota
and Washington. Moreover, they con
slider that ii would be especially un-
grateful In Idaho. because their refusal
to recognize the silver Republicans in
wolves the defeat Of Senator Dubois.
The latter Is looked upon by both the

Origin of Lynch Law.


It Ia said that lynch law had It's origin
In Virginia. Charles Lynch. whose
name has been given to the summary
proceedings known as acts of lynch law,
was a revolutionary soldier, and after
the war took up his residence in Pittsyl-
vania county. This region became in
tested with bands of tories and outlaws,
whose depredations among the people
of the lower parts of North Carolina
Carolina and Virginia caused reign of
terror. Col. Lynch organized body OF
patriotic citizens, men of character and
property. When any of the marauders
fell into his hands they were not taken
at once to a tree or tied to q stake and
shot, but were given trial by jury
selected froE. Lynch's men. II the
prisoners were found guilty puntsn-
n.ent was inflicted upon the spce Tho
general impression haA besn tlist IN all
casea Of lynch law tia penalty was
death. One who knew Col. Lynch well
waa assured by him that prisoners
were frequently let off with severe

KNOWLEDGE is NOT WISDOM.
Mon of Great Learning Sometimes Loss
tight of tho Fact.

Men of Great Learning Sometimes Lose
fight of tho Fact.
In the recent memoirs OF Dean Buck
land an amusing picture is given of the
antipathy felt SO years ogo by the Old
classical scholars ut Oxford 10 the new
scicntific learning. They described it
as "mischic, Gus and absurd" When
auckland once went to home for long
vacation, one Of the elder dons is said
to have cXclaipicd:
well, auckland has gone to Italy.
Thank heaven we shall hear no more
of his silly geology!'
Learned men do not always appreci-
ate the achievements of their fellows.
Vt is said That friend brought Milton
Paradise Lost" to great Scotch
mathematician, who remarked when
he had finished it:
Its vera pretty; hut, mon, what
does it prove?'
An American who stated recently in
n London club that he was going to
Enfield in search of the grave of
Charles Lamb, was astonished to hear
him contemptuously described by an
English Statesmen as "a flignty writer
of silly papers, IN which there was no
mention OF politica' questions of his
day"
Paganini while in England was
mentioned by great jurist in letter
rs "a Door fiddler who had driven the
town mad with his squeoks and
scrapes,' and he, no doubt, would have
described mis- critic as soullesa and deaf
10 the highest expression of emotion.
An anecdote is told of Henry Clay
in the zenith Of his popularity and
fame Meeting an cid schoo!mate at q
reception nc expressed regret that
another friend, a mutual acquaintance,
whose career promised to be brilliant,
had given up his life 70 the raising OF
pigs and making fortune. The friend
presently met the gentleman referred
to, who exclaimed, with shake of the
head:
poor Henry Clay! He might have
made good stock grower, and be n
comfortable planter now, if he had not
wasted his time in politics.
We are all vain of our own little field
of knowledge. We should remember
knowledge is not wisdom, and that the
wise man notes and finds lessons of
profit in the hurvests OF his neighbors'
fields as well as IN those Of his own.--
