were also in abundance. Among
other things were beautiful souv-

The Thanksgiving party held
in the I. o. o. F. hall last Thurs

success. The attendance was
not as great as it would have
been had the weather been a lit

as it may, we observed that all
who were present, appeared to
enjoy themselves. The orches-

1t was with great pleasure that
we saw that the people OF Idaho
had given their vote and. we may
say their voice, in favor of suf-

taken as active a part in all the
most important affairs of life as

of the right of suffrage, and sup
erior in the purity of motives.
But still the question is mooted
to whether under our Constitu-
ton for amendments, they are to
enjoy this sacred privilege. This
matter is to be taken into the
Courts. There is no doubt in
our mind-as lawyer, as to a
true Interpretation of our Consti-
tuition; but as it is to be decided
by the highest tribunal of our
commonwealth, we do not feel at
liberty to express an opinion in
advance. These matters are de-
cided, of late years. largely as
go the political views on personal
interests and prejudices of the
different members of our Courts.
Degenercy has evidently, ming
led largely in the directions Of
our Courts of last resort, until
there is not that reverence fol

once existed. We trust that oul
Courts will take q higher line OF
thought and do themselves honor
by making a just and legal de

Illinois Woman Married to n Kansas Man
whom She Has Loved Half a Century.
CHICAGO, April g. The Times Her.
AIDS Topeka, Kan, correspondent
sends his paper the following: "A ro-
mantle wedding took place at Sedan
yesterday, in which Squire Turner, of
Cedarvilie, aged 73, and Amanda M.
Gillespie, of Mclean county, ILL.,,
aged SO, were the contracting parties.
BY appointment they met at Sedan
and were married by j. d. Nc
Bryan, in the presence of Mr..
Turner's children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren. Nearly
fifty years ago the bride knew the
groom in Illinois. She formed an at
tachment for him which lasted all
these years, and, although Mr.. Turner
had removed to the West and married
another, his present bride waited
faithfully for the time when he would
again be free. Those who are famil-
lar with the case and remember of the
love early plighted in Illinois, say it
is the most remarkable on record.
Two months ago Squire Turner wrote
to Miss Gillespie. The proposition of
marriage was made and accepted with
out delay or ceremony. The happy
couple are now comfortably housed in
their little cottage at Cedarville,
where they are surrounded with three
generations of the Turner family"

Colonel Breckenridge is canvassing the

A rUs TO THE LABOR WHALE.

It Is reliably reported that certain great corpora tion doing business in many counties in Alabama has given assurance to it's employees that in the event of MT. Bryan's defeat it will restore the 10 per cent reduction of wages it forced upon them two years ago.
 Unavaiing efforts have heretofore been made by the employees to have this 10 per cent cut in their wages restored. but the corporation has consistently declined to do so. and until the approach of an election in which it finds it's working force. almost to a man, in the democratic ranks supporting democratic doctrines and democratic candidates, as against the republican doctrines and carft1idates 1t advocates and supports, it has given no intimation of a desire to raise their wages.
 Under the circumstances It Is not sur prising that the proposition is regarded with more or less, principally more, sus- picion by the wage earners. This sud- den development of 10 per cent interest in their welfare startles them. They are unable to understand how an advance of wages can logically result from con tinuance of the very cause.-the republl- can gold standard-which brought about reduction of wages and has kept it in unbroken force for three years. These men are not fools. nor are they Esaus. to sell their manhood and political ind spend-

 When a railroad man tells you any thing you may know it is so and when his statement is backed up by a drum mer you may swear by it. If it is South ren railway conductor and a Rome, Ga. drummer the truth thereof is clinched drove through, bent over and hammered in. Here 1t is:
 ''Got an item for you" said Captain Seward the veteran Southern conductor to the Journal. "I don't know whether you'll believe it or not, but it's a fact A hardware drummer from Rome named Irwin got on my train at Wilsonville yes terday, and he showed me an ear of pop corn just as it was pulled In the field with the shuck on 1t, and nearly every grain on 1t was popped. The sun popped It. You can laugh if you want to, but it's a fact and I can prove it."

WARD MEETINGS
For the Election of Delegates to a City Con- vention Not Favored by the
 People.
To the State Herald:

To the State Herald:
 The city democratic executive commit tee last Tuesday night selected a special committee to consider the advisabillty of making nominations for mayor and al- dermen and also a plan under which to hold the election.
 At said meeting some criticisms were indulged in by a visitor, MT. Steiner, to the effect that primaries were not good for Birmingham's political welfare. He appeared to favor ward meetings at which deleg ates be selected to meet in a city convention.
 1 will simply state that so far as I have been able to ascertain the people desire an open, honest white primary election and an honest count and return of the votes cast.
 Such an election under the new ward division will be very simple and entirely satisfactory. l would say call for the regular democratic primary and invite all the white men of Birmingham to par ticipate in the selection of candidates for mayor and aldermen. Let the ward registrations be made fairly and justly, giving all citizens an op- pertunity to register. Let the elections be held in the various wards as the new law directs, and there will be no room for "kicking.
 I will also add that the people are where a dozen or two managers and ma- nipulators say who shall be the mayor and who the aldermen.
 The suggestion will not be out of place just here that the people are very much fatigued by the never ending manipula- tions of ward heelers.'
 If it is desired to do something for the good of party organization, any one will be able to see that calling a democratic primary and inviting all white voters to participate will build up and strength en the party more than anything else If the committee has in view the welfare of the party more than the preferment of some one candidate, feel confident that an open white primary will be called and the people given an opportunity to vote directly for their choice for mayor and aldermen Very respectfully,

 The recent action of the bolters in Ala bama Is unpardonable and utterly inde- fensible. It is not because they have bolted that the democracy of the state is indulging in such severe criticism of their conduct, for any citizen has the perfect right to quit any party at any time he may see fit and it is nobody's business but his own, but 1t is the man. ner of their quitting the party that Is the just cause for complaint.

ence for mess Of 10 per cent pottage. They understand as well as their em- ployers do that their wages will not and cannot be increased as long as the gold standard prevails. producing as it has done for the last three years industrial paralysis and business stagnation as the necessary consequence of a constantly contracting and diminishing circulating medium. They also know that without an increased volume of money to meet the demands of trade and commerce this contraction will go on and on until the wages received by them will be still fur ther reduced and they will find them selves under this grinding" process, con- stantly growing poorer and poorer and more at the mercy of the purchasers of labor They know that the republican party and it's policies promise no relief to the toiling millions of honest laborers and wage earners from the ills it has fixed upon them, and that the election of Mckinley means a continuance of these evils in an intensified degree. They know further that the only hope for industrial freedom and personal independence lies in the success of democratic doctrines as embodied in the Chicago platform, and the election of a man whose whole life and record is a pledge to lessen the bur dens and improve the condition of the wealth producers, the toling millions of laborers in field and forest, factory and mine, and upon the great commercial highways of the country. They have faith in and are willing to commit thu destinies of this great republic and their hopes of prosperity to the great party of the honest masses of the common people and it's candidate, William J. Bryan, who sprung from among them and whose life and works has been an earnest en- deavor in their behalf, rather than Will liam Mckinley, who is the creature and servant of those whose policy has been and always will be to oppress and grind labor that they may fatten and grow rich at it's expense and through whose agen- cy incalculable deprivation, poverty and distress have been brought to the work ing men of America.
 The corporation which so underesti- mates the intelligence and manhood of it's employees as to think it can deceive them by empty promises of an increase of wages in the event of McKinley's elec- tion will find itself mistaken in it's calcu- lation. They should and will resent this effort to bribe them into a. betrayal of the welfare and interest of the great la boring classes of the country.
 The wage earner who is weak enough to yield to this cheap and thinly dis guised effort to purchase his vote will be fortunate indeed if he does not find his earnings reduced 25 per cent instead of increased 10 per cent should Hanna, the arch foe of organized labor, succeed in electing his mortgaged man Mckinley to the presidency of the United States.

A prominent business man of th.s city of the goldbug persuasion, whose name is withheld, has found a new and insurmountable objection to the Chi cago platform in that it declares for state rights. The novelty and humor of this objection is apparent to any one who has even an elementary knowledge of the doctrines of democracy. How ever. it is about as foreefel as any other that has been urged by the bolters to the latest democratic declaration of princi- ples
