Peril in Love songs.

The power of music is proverblal It's
sedative effects upon the savage breast is
a classical chestnut. Its influence in
moving men to fight or to weep is recog-
nized universally. But 1t has remained
for Davis junction, ILL.,. to show an ath-
letic young man yanked into court for
breach of promise of marriage through
the power Of music. This incident wiz, or
should, prove warning to young men
who can sing, or think they can, against
falling too much into the spirit Of the
song, or putting too much soul into their
notes. For it may transpire that they
will be construed as promissory notes, and
suit brought to enforce payment. That is
the way it occurred at the town aforemen-
toned. in the case of George NJ. Benefits
singing of DeKoven's tender song. "Oh.
Promise Me-" while Miss Minnie Blough
played the accompaniment on the piano.
Bennett has a melodous baritone voice,
and is proud of it. All the girls about
Davis Junction had heard him sing, and
were glad to have him come around and
MARBLE to them the new songs. Miss
Blough received a viS1t from him recently,
and i'm few moments they were at the
plano. DeKoven's song was on the mu-
sic rack, with never a mark upon II to sug-
gest that danger lurked concealed within.
The fair ones fingers touched the keys
lightly, and Bennett broke forth:
Oh. promise me that you will take my
hand,
The most unworthy in this lonely land,
And let me sit beside you; in your eyes
Seeing the vision of our paradise,
Hearing Gods message while tho organ
rolls
Its mighty music to our very souls.
No love less perfect than life with thee

saying that he meant nothing; that he
was only putting soul into the song. But
Miss Blough was not to be thus bluffed
in spite of her name. She said that hav-

sweetest cadences. and having complied
with the invitation, she proposed that he
should fulfill his part of the implied con-
tract or pay her 5000 damages for lace

Unwiso Proceedings,

The spite work INDUCED in by Du-
bois and Sweet men at the Pocatello
convention will be viewed by the most
cool headed as very unwise. Instead Of
trying to heal up the wounds inflicted
during the senatorial fight, they were
torn open afresh.. In place of closing up
the gap between the two factions, il
was made wider. The most popular
republican that Idaho ever produced
was incontinently snubbed. The spirit
manifested there indicates that the re-
publican party is to be weakened this
year by division in the forces. The
ungallant manner in which they treat
ed Senator Shoup viii cause him to
take very little interest in the cause of
the party this fall, which will initiate
severely against its success.
The side talk that the national re-
lican nominee, if goldbug, would not
be supported and that an independent
silver electoral ticket will receive the
vote, is pure romance. A goldbug viii
receive the nomination, that Is as well
known now as it will be after the con
vention, and the alternative viii be
presented to the republicans Of idaho
of either voting for the regular nation

MoKinley and nImetallism.

The Republican organs which are try
ing so hard to make it appear that Nc
Kiuley is an out and out bimetallist
will do well to read the following ex-
tract from a speech, delivered by him
five years ago while running for Gov
ernor of Ohio.
81 am in favor of the double standard,
but am not in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver in the
United States until the nations of the
world shall join us in guaranteeing to
silver status which their laws now ac-
cord to gold. The double standard i'm
plies equality at a ratio, and that equal
ity can only be established by the con-
current law of nations. 1t was the con-
current law of nations that made the
double standard; it will require the con-
current law of nations to reinstate and
sustain it. Until then, for us to decree
the free and unlimited coinage of the
worlds silver would be to ordain that
our silver dollars must surely depre-
ciate, and gold inevitably go to a pre-
MUM. No man knows what the future
may be, but in our present condition,
and with our present light, every con-
sideration of safety requires us to hold
our present status until the othergreat
nations shall agree to an international
ratio"
