various subjects.
THURSDAY - The legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill was taken up
in the senate and all the amendments here
tofore agreed to in committee of the whole,
except such as were specially reserved, were
agreed to in bulk. Mr.. Sherman Of Ohio
moved to strike out all the sections of the
bill in reference to the compensation OF the
United States district attorneys, clerks and
marshals, putting those officials on a salary
basis instead Of on the basis Of fees. He
made an argument against the proposed
change, one OF his points being that such q
complete reorganization of the judiciary de-
partment of the United States ought not to
be made in an appropriation bill, but ought
to be carefully considered in all its details
motion was supported by Senators Hoar Of
Massachusetts, Chandler OF New Hamp-
shire and Hill of New York. Mr.. Hill, who
was particularly earnest in his support of
the motion, stated that he had, while gov
erno, Of the state of New York, been fire.
quently compelled to veto general appropri-
alton bills because they contained vicious
items of general legislation. And now, he
said, the constitution OF the state Of New
York absolutely prohibited such legislation,
and the constitutions Of other states con-
tanned like provisions. The bill for making
Arizona a state was reported from the COM
mittee on territories and placed on the cal
endar. - The house passed the naval
appropriation bill after rejecting several

Der of bills were passed, among them house

chase of a square of ground bordering on

with the Library Building, for building

was reported by Mr. Morrill, of Vermont,
and was placed on the calendar. The legis-
lative appropriation bill was taken up and
Mr.. Villas of Wisconsin addressed the SEN
ate on the amendment proposed by him to
strike out the section in relation to district
attorneys, and insert in lieu thereof the
following: That the United States dis

tricts Of the United States, except the
Southern District of New York (which shall
continue under existing law, shall be paid

GENTLEMEN when / wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
ieve her. The doctors informed us
she had cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
he so near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your S. s. S., we thought it
would do no harm, If not some good
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, Just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your S. S. S.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,

Mcconnell Republicans are yell
ing that the sheep industry of Idaho
is the most prolific of any in the
State, and that mining is secondary.
According to the Department of
Agriculture, which issued bulletin
for April, 1896, the State has 1,011,-
852 sheep, or liz eleventh in rank
among all the States and Terrific
ries in the Union. There are no
statistics to show the mum er of
men employed in tending these
sheep, or those who may be directly
or indirectly employed in shearing
or marketing the sheep or fleece,
nor do we know the annual product
of the fleece, though this, we see, is
estimated by Eli Perkins at about
100000 Granted that this sum
is annually realized frcm the sale
of Idaho wool, whom does it benefit
There are not one thousand people
employed in the sheep industry Of
of Idaho, and wherever the sheep
are they are a blight to the farmers
and other stock raisers. On the
other hand, the silver product of
this State is estimated at over S.
600, 900, and with the reinstatement
of silver il will be at least 100000
600. This product not only en-
riches this State by building up
thriving communities, creating tax
able property, making homes for
thousands, but it enriches the ma
ton at large, for every dollar crea-
ted becomes circulating medium,
not merely a merchantable COM
modify like wool.-Murray Sun.

The miners at DeLamar have gone
out on a strike. The Sentinel has at
all times sympathized with the labor
ing man in his efforts to improve his
condition, and while we hope for the
best in this case we desire saying
brief word to the DeLamar miners.
The fact OF the matter is the men in
that camp have always voted wrong
that is, they have voted for low wages.
1t is impossible to expect wages to go
up when you vote for silver to go
down. The polio, of the Republican
party has been to depreciate silver and
the striking miners, at least majority
of them, voted for that party. Boys,
you have voted for low wages and you
have got just what you voted for. The
place to strike is at the ballot box

People too frequently judge the
character of country from condi-
tons that sometime exist in portions
of it. Early last winter the church
folks here combined and invited
noted evangelist of Tennessee to
come out and hold series of meet
ing in Boise. He accepted but
much to the surprise of all at the
last moment he sent regrets that he
would have to postpone his visit to
some future time. Shortly follow
ing it was learned that after he had
made ready to come he saw in the
dispatches accounts of death in
Idaho from snowslides. That set
tied it. He wasn't going to be
whirled out of existence by some of
the fearful avalanches then sweep
ing over Boise. At that very time
the farmers of this and all the
other valleys of Idaho were blowing.
The snowslides of course were high
up in the mountains miles away.
From this it will be seen that Ten
nessee is still cropping in darkness
and that some of her schools, like
those of many other eastern states,
should include in their course a
few facts about the towns and eli
mate and topography of the north
