insects. which it generally captures ON
the wing, and the young bird that Mr..
Bumpus experimental with caught fall

with its beak, but could not be induced
to drink from a dish after the manner

ImmunIty Of Beeches from Lightnias.
Writing In Himmel und Erde. Dr..
Carl Muller makes the interesting
statement that in Germany during the
period Of eleven years. included be-
tween 1879 and 1890, some hfty--sdx
oaks, twenty frs, and three or four
pines were struck by lightning. but
no beeches, and this Notwithstanding
the fact that 70 per cent Of the forest
trees Of Germany are beeches. II per
cent oaks. 13 per cent pines. and 6 per
cent frs. or. in other words. there are
nearly seven times az many beeches a.
oaks. Muller seems to think. therefore.
that the beech shows immunity from
lightning effects. and remarks fur
ther. that trees standing in wet ground
are more liable to be struck than those
in dry, that such as have dead limbs
are more liable than those without. and
that trees rich in fatty matter and
resin are more likely to be struck than
those which are not.

THE LATE GEN. TORRENCE.
He was afterward given a light pension
from the government.
In 1869 he removed to Chicago, be-
ing called thither to take charge Of the
furnaces of the Chicago iron works,
and in the following year became con-
nected also with the Joliet Iron and
Steel company. In addition to his other
duties, he superintendent the construc-
ton of furnaces at De Pere, Wis, and
Menominee, Mich, and later built two
improved furnaces for the Joliet Iron
and Steel company. and had charge of
them until he became consulting engi-
neer for the Green Bay and Bangor
Furnace company at Chicago.
His good Judgment, his cool-headed-
ness, his tact in managing men, his
eminent fitness for leadership, and his
familiarity with military matters made
him conspicuous figure among Chi
Cages prominent philosophical men,
and at their solicitation he consented,
Notwithstanding his overwhelming
duties, to accept the colonelcy Of the
Second regiment, I. N. G., to which po-
sition he was elected and duly COM
missioned by Governor Beveridge in
1874. After the law organizing the
guards into three brigades he was rec
commended to Governor Cullom as a
most suitable man to be appointed
brigadier general of the First brigade
of the Illinois National Guard. Gov
ernor Cullom acted on the suggestion,
and sent him his commission. This
was just on the eve of the riots at Chi
cago in July, 1877.
After organizing his staff he, at the
request of Mr.. Monroe Heath, then
mayor Of Chicago, established his head
quarters in the Office of the chief of
police. and at once proceeded to organ
lie cavalry and artillery forces to pre-
serve order, and placed guards at the
water and gas works to forestall any
attempt Of the rioters to destroy them.
Subsequently he became one of Chi
Cages leading business men and
amassed a fortune in the iron indus
try.
On Sept. II, 1872, he married Miss
Elizabeth Norton. the accomplished
"oASSA Va tAC iolC JCoSc ~. ANOTtOu
OF Chicago, and by her had one daugh-
ter. Jessie Norton Terrence. The sud
den death OF Mrs. Terrence Oct u,
1891, the result of an accident while
taking ride with her daughter, was a
severe blow to her family and wide
circle Of devoted friends. In the words
OF another: Mrs. Terrence was one Of
type of women, peculiarly the prod
uct OF the fresh. free, vigorous west.
10 the world she was only known for
her beauty, her cultivation, her ma
tronly charms as the head of splendid
and hospitable home. only lately occu-
pied, which she beautified by her taste
and adorned by her presence. But to
those who knew her best these qualities
were but the varnish ON a lovely pic
'are. She was perfect in her domes-
ueity, in her household management, in
her devotion to her home and family,
and, what was less to be expected, she
was OF unerring judgment in the more
welghty affairs OF bus'r >ss. In all the

Union Theological seminary in the
state of New York. That college con-
.erred upon him the degree of doctor OF
divinity. His first charge was Christ
church, in Herkimer county. New York.
He labored in that field with great sue
cess for six years and did much to for
ward the cause OF the Episcopalian
faith and built up his church. He was
then transferred to Ogdensburg, where
he is now rector of st. Johns church
and archdeacon OF the diocese He was
elected to the bishopric of Duluth by

THE wEIsER MEETING.

The meeting Of the State Republican
Committee at Weiser passed off with a
degree of harmony and good feeling
rather unexpected, as it had been bruit-
ed about that there would be trouble.
Iii our Judgment the action Of the com
mittee OIL every proposition displayed
wisdom ana deep appreciation of its
duties and powers. The effort that was
made tn introduce resolutions with
which the committee had nothing what
ever TO do, no doubt grew out of the
fact that members of the committee
did not possess accurate ideas of their
functions. A political committee is
simply the instrument of the party, de
signed to carry out the business intrust-
ed to 1t by the party. 1t is not required
to endorse anybody or anything, and it
goes entirely beyond its official province
when it attempts to indicate party SEN
tlment or party policy. 1t has no more
business to officially endorse Senators
Dubois, Teller and Carter than to en-
dorse che road Overseer of Dist. No. IL.
Endorsements and resolutions belong
20 the state conventions and ought to
repOse there. Neither is the state COM
mittee required to direct or in anywise
control the action of county commit
mittees. These committees should at
least be given the benefit Of the as
sumption that they know how to man.
age their own affairs, and it is but nat
ural for them to resent any effort to
interfere with their proper functions.
The majority Of the state committee
fortunately had correct views on these
points aud wisely voted "hands off"
We believe that every member of the
committee who took the opposite view
will change his mind when he shall
have had time for more mature rehec-
ton. However, we are to Judge the
committee by what it did do, and not
by what any mistaken member or men,
bers may have wished to do; therefore
no occasion is afforded for criticism.
The party generally will be we'll salts
fiedwith the work, and upon the whole
the committee deserves to be heartily
congratulated OH the harmonious and
wise conduct of its business.

OUT-oENERALED.

The glowing tributes that are being
paid to western senators for their firm
stand on silver are all proper and com.
mendable, but it occurs that the real
status of the business might just as we'll
be understood After the Dingley rev.
enue bill passed the House it came into
the hands of the senate committee who
reported instead a free coinage substi-
tute. The matter then which the sena-
tors refused to take up for Considera-
ton was a bill for the free coinage of
silver as well as protective measure
along'Tevenue lines. If the protective
features were not satisfactory to west
ern interests, amendments might have
been proposed on consideration of the
Dill, and we understand that western
senators had prososed amendments
which would rectify any inequalities
that might exist in the original bill If
che revenue bill had been taken up for
consideration, that would also bring up
the silver substitute, which Ger.
tainly could have been passed
provided the free trade silver
men did not vote against it, and then
the responsibility of defeating silver
and tariff combined would have been
thrown upon the House of Representa-.
tives. We suspect, however that the
free trade silver senators served notice
on the protection silver senators that
they would not vote for free silver
tacked to protective bill, consequently
silver with them is minor considera.
ton. This is as we suspected. The
Tree trade Democrats Yield nothing and
throw all the odium of defeating free
coinage on the Republicans. Demo.
cratic silver senators are evidently bet
GER politicians than their Republican
friends and have completely out gener-
aled them.

IN MEMORIAM,

One year ago l claSped thy hand,
AS up the dusty street we walked;
And of our heritage we talked,
Just over In the Promised land.
One little year-June'S roses rare
Kissed check and lip; youth perfect grace
Was thine; and, looking on thy face,
knew that God had made thee fair.
Dear friend, how little worth it seems
We mourn, who soon must hOmeward go.
The Sprlngtime daisies slit their snow
About the places of thy dreams;
For in Gods land of light and bloom,
Where endless years of rapture roll,
Bathcd in EdeRic airs, thy soul
Triumphant Der the silent tomb.
Walks in white raiment. All, how sweet
Gods promises, tina bringeth cheer
To hearts left lone and waiting here
Since rest o. ertOOk thy weary feet.
For through our tears We surely trace
The sweet assurance GTieved hearts seek;
Gods seal of pc, re on brow and cheek,
His tender light uIOn thy face.
And by the river of delight,
Soon we shall find thy perfect peace,
In that bright land where sorrows cease,
And faith is lost in sight.

ceeds the maximum compensation fixed
by the constitution. We think, the
Enterprise is entirely llnjustifed in its
attack upon Judge Richards and hope
that it viii make such reparation as
candor and fairness demand. We also
hope it will continue to agitate this
question in such way as win apprise
the people of its great Importance, as it
means to the taxpayers many thous-
ands of dollars. Irhe difficulty with
this particular case is that it may be in
such shape that the issue can not be
decided on Its merits; that is to say, the
cause was not properly presented in
the district court. We think, however,
that the appeal can be brought in such
a way as to bring the whole question
before the supreme court and that a
decision will be handed down which
viii forever settle the main contention.
We also think the supreme court will
take somewhat different view of the
question from that which Judge Rich
ards, together with other lawyers OF
unquestioned ability, appears to enter
tain. However that may be, the pres
ent case should be urged to a speedy
determination.

The intimation that the result of the
committee meeting at Weiser amounts
to Mcconnell victory over Dubois-is
not correct. whatever the friends or
enemies of either of the gentlemen NAV
think or say. The majority of the com.
mittee were not tied to or representing
any individual or faction. They were
controlled wholly by considerations of
party interest and their legitimate
duties. If the result was distastsfun
to Senator Dubois friends, that was be-
cause they rated the interest of the SEN
ator above the welfare Of the party
and attempted to further the former at
the expense of the latter. Neither
Mcdonnell nor Dubois has any occasion
to be elated or dOwnCast, except as
either may be effected by the fact that
party welfare is very likely to be the
first consideration Of loyal Republicans.
The time is probably at hand when
candidates will be run for the benefit of
the party and not the party for the
benefit of the candidates. A change
viii be healthy.
