Little Champ Clark, or missouri, Is a
chip OF the old block. He Is a beautiful
child, about years old, as bright as a
dollar, and almost as quick at repartee
as mis- noted father Little Champ is a
source OF joy and amusement to all with
whom he becomes acquainted. and there
are not many people In the big capitol
building of the house side, from the speak
er down to the laborers who scrub the
floors after everyone else goes home, with
whom he has not already become ac-
quainted.
What's the number of daddy's box?"
he shouted, as he rushed into the house
postoffice the other day.
who's your daddy?" asked the clerk
at the window.
"Oh. you know me well enough" said
little Champ, with contemptuous wave
OF his hand. IT introduced myself to you
the other day."
The place of all where little Champ de-
lights most to go is the house stationery
room. The rows OF peari-handle knives,
the silver-tipped pencils. the rubber bands,
the bottles OF paste. and the piles of paper
and boxes OF envelopes are sources OF
amusement TO the little lad, and the
clerks encourage his visits, for his bright
sayings are ever bubbling fresh from his
lips.
What are you Democrats going to 10

not"
The little fellow jumped up into chair
and swung his arms aloft In the attitude
which his father assumes when he Is
most deeply Interested.

voice, will not be responsible for any OF
McKinleys acts
Whether the boy would have gone on
with a stump speech Is not known, but
certainly the shouts OF laughter that fol-
lowed this earnest declaration OF prinei-
pies did not discomfort him in the least.
Uncle Joe Cannon Is as fond OF his BIZ
cycle as boy in his teens. and there is
no other one of all the congressional
cyclists who is so expert on the wheel as
the veteran from Illinois. Uncle Joe
wouldn't miss riding 10 and from the cap
itol on his wheel one OF these bright days
for good deal. He hasn't yet taken TO
golf trousers, with long stockings turned
over at the tops, but he has a way of
fastening his trousers about his ankles so
that they won't get tangled up in the chain
that looks for all the world as II he had
tucked them into his bootleg just prior TO
starting out TO pillow a ten-acre lot
While Uncle Joe trundles a wheel, either

by cyclists as an even more dangerous

terror department.

WHAT AILS NEVADA 2

The Eastern press is much concerned
for the future OF Nevada. Her recent ad-
diction to pagilism has served more than
anything else to persuade the Eastern edi-
torial mind that she is deplorably unregen-
crate and going speedily to perdition. The
Boston advertiser solemnIy AYERS that the
State is a disgrace" and menace" 10
the Union and that it is dangerous for
such a community to possess statehood
without having sufficient manhood to
make a respectable State"
The Washington Post, while mildly cor
rective, deprecates violent denunciation
on the ground that Nevada has consti-
tutional right to do as she pleases in the
matter OF prize-fights, also that other
States, including Massachusetts, and New
York, have harbored just as brutal fistic
encounters as the Carson fight without
incurring marked reproach from every
other portion of the country.
Another journal points with scandal
iZed uplifting of hands to the fact that
Nevada has recently introduced a legisla a.
tive resoiu ton forDidding her legislators
to speculate in stocks or securities whose
market value is susceptible to legislation,
affirming thereon that this is q tacit ad-
mission that her Legislators would be
thieves il she would permit them to be.
All of these com planners need reminding z
of few things that the delirious heat of
accusation has caused them to overlook.
First, Nevada in countenancing prize
fight is not muc worse than those locali-
ties which permit prlze-fghts by an
evasion of the law. Hardly week passes
without prize fight in some Eastern city,
and the East therefore has small right 10
condemn the West on that score.
In the second place, while Nevada's pro-
vision against corruption on the part of
her legislators is not creditable to them as
individuals, it is to be remembered that
the individual legislator of Nevada has
plenty of prototypes outside of Nevada,
and q few in Massachusetts, we
haven't the slightest doubt. Besides,
there are county and municipal ordi-
nances everywhere which forbid public
officials to trade with the county or the
city which they officially represent lest
they might swindle the taxpa, ers. 1t is
very practical precaution and makes due
allowance for a well-known human
weakness.
So perhaps it would be as well to let
Nevada alone. Until pots can reasonably
call kettles black and people in glass
houses can safely heave pebbles promis-
cuously about Nevada will not be much
worse off than the rest of US.

the Palonic and Potlatch belts in Eastern
Washington. has been producing very large
quantities of grain. This belt is probably so
miles long by some so wide in Idaho.
Though there is duty on Canadian lead,
yet the exigencies of the case regarding the
Idaho lead mines does not seem to work well.
The miners say the difficulty is in collecting
the duty.

be contested in the United States Senate.
Heitfeld is a good substantial farmer. He was
a mem Der of the State Senate two terms. He
is recognized as q good, honest man, but not
exactly the man for that position. Still, he
may develop, as other men have done. You
never can tell how man will come out.
"The population of Idaho is now about
135 600; OF Boise, the capital, which is the
bigges place in the State, 5000, and of the
Wood River district about 5000.

Judge Hepburn is very honorable man and
q splendid lawyer"
Chief Justice Sullivan was one of the Su-
preme Judges elected October /, 1890. After
they were elected they drew lots for the long
and short terms. Mr.. Sullivan drew the short
term and was the first Chief Justice. He was
reelected, and is now serving the last two
years OF his six years term.

THE MISSISSIPPI.

Again the hopelessly insecure residents
of the Missi ssippi Valley are shrinking
before rise in the river. The great
Father OF Waters" superby Indifferent
TO all the puny restraints which man may
presume to urge upon it, goes grimly on
flooding things as though men were reeds
whose faint rustling by the wayside was
lost in the fathomless sweep of Its cur
rent. In spite Of levees, in spite of arti-
fetal outlets. in spite of all that mortsls
have been able TO devise for its subiuga-
ton, it rises to-day as easily over the con-
fines on either side of it as it did years
ago when those confines were unfortified
by mans little diggings and shovelings
and pattings OF earth along the tops of
them, and when the world was unedified
by the spectacle of him in the cheerful
performance thereof. For no matter how
high its banks may be built, its bed will
rise, and is all the time rising, from the
sediment which constantly drifts into it,
aud its surface will correspondingly keep
up within easy reach OF an overflow.
The problem of how to control the Mis-
sissippi fatty battles all who venture TO
contem plate it. The fact that this tre-
meQQOus FOlume OF wafer can Dy no ap.
parent human possibility be stayed when
it proceeds to run over its banks and
drown the adjacent country is one of the
majestic natural conditions before which
the ingenuity OF man must needs lower
its head in silent ad mission of its ultimate
futility and inslgnifcance.
At present the telegraph tells us that
the water is raising at the rate of six
inches per day. ana the dwellers in the
lowlands are already preparing for incon-
tinent flight, their arms full of bed
clothes and their skirts and coat-tails fes-
tooned by clinging urchins dolorously au-
dible over their enforced migration. This
seems to be their only resort. And the
future holds out no promise of a better
one for their children or for their chill
dren's children. 1t is merely to be as
sumed that the people of the future will
be forced TO regard the situation as con-
siderabiy more serious than do the people
of the present. since it is situation that
will do exactly the reverse of improving
with age.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-30

in all forms of industry, but also has
tendency to limit those vicious and un-
wholesome pleasures which enervate
community and retard its progress.
1t is the purpose of the Commissioners
to use in this improvement the system of
lighting best calculated to secure at once
the most thorough efficiency and close
economy. The park will furnish its own
electric current from power-house built
within the grounds. and thus make sure
the light is supplied at actual cost. The
copper conductors will be laid under
ground, thus ensuring the public against
any possible danger from live wires. The
developments of the illumination will be
gradual. but there will be an ample re-
serve force in the power-house to ulti-
mately extend the great arc lamps over
all the main driveways and make broad
sheet OF white light within which bicy-
clers and horsemen can take delight and
brace their nerves with open-air recrea-
tion.
OF course the chief glory of the park viii
be for daylight enjoyment when the colors
OF the flowers and foliage can be plainly
seen and the contrasts of light and shade
on the lawns join with tine view of the
green hills in the distance to delight the
eye, but the way in which the night light
ing will work to the City's betterment in
happiness and power will be the opportu-
nifty given for open-air recreation for those
many busy men who burn up all their day
light in arduous toll in office and store.
Among these are units of the commune
tvs growth and welfare who both need
and deserve bracing outing the most,
and the big park ALT viii be gracious
boon to them which they should plan to
profit by.
Another feature of the wisdom of thus
adding to San Francisco's attractions is
that such things draw like magnet the
most energetic. capable and ambitious
people from oil sections to come and make
happy homes in d place so enticing, and
so cause the City to m ore rapidly grow in
business greatness as well as esthetic and
Joy giving excellence.

THAT POsTOFFIOE.

The California architect, referring to
THE CALLS recent prodding of the Federal
authorities in charge of the Postoffice site,
goes TO the point of ''com miserating the
daily press if they really think that
any efforts, however herculean, will have
any effect in piercing the invulnerable
hide of official Indifference to the needs of
San Francisco" Yet this extraordinary
remark does not discourage US from pur-
suing the subject while longer. SO long
as the agitation has resulted in any kind
of action-even the somewhat chesrnutty
action OF testing the already overtested
si;e-there is hope that the advantage of
the authorities attention may extend
itself to other stages OF the work. per-
chance to the stage OF laying foundation
for the building.
Activity is manifestly preferable to
somnoIent inattention and ldleness, and
The CALL is not without hope that per-
sistent reference to the matter of that very
much delayed Postoffice will ultimately
be crowned with the reward OF beholding
that institution actually looming before
an well-pleased ropulace.
