AS to Anarchy:-An unwhole.
some ditch is not purified by
simply curing the diseases that
arise from it. No matter whose
dead and honored hands dug it,
its obstructions must be removed
until only a harmless stream
flows through. But this is no
talk about hygiene. The ditch
represents certain social condi-
tions, and a number of European
powers figure as doctors who
deal with the sick, but shrink
from the impure source.

A short time since the Empress
of Austria, one time a pleasure
loving, fox-hunting woman, but
later with enough of sorrow in
her life to make her seem one
with US, suddenly went out in
the darkness of assassination.
We all shuddered at the tragedy,
not solely because she was an
Empress but because she was
also benevolent woman. Furth-
er than that, our hearts dumbly
protested when we learned that
the murderer had neither been
wronged by her nor anyone near
her.

lowing named delegates We're

Twenty votes were cast at this

The two wings of the Populist
State ticket have Fused thus
leaving only one Populist State
ticket.
We believe that Miss Margaret
Keenan,, the fusion nominee for
County School Superintended,
will be elected to that Office by
good big majority. and we do
not think the people of Custer
county will ever have cause to
regret if they place her in that
Office. 1t is right in connection
with her profession and she is
fully qualified for this important
position.
A large crowd from Challis
left this morning for Clayton to
attend the Independent Party
county convention which meets
at that place at 2 o'clock p. m.
today. At the time of going to
press it was expected that the
Challis Band would also attend.
1t is almost certain that there
will be ''hot time in the old
town tonight" A grand ball
will be given in the evening.
School commenced in this
place on the 3rd inst. In the
High School department 38
pupils were enrolled, but in the
Primary department it looks as
though cyclone had struck that
room, for on the opening day
only Is pupils were in attend
ance, owing to whooping cough,
but this department win increase
to nearly sixty when all attend.
On the 4th page of this issue

lican party of Custer county and
the other by the Democratic par

paid for at regular rates, and are
to be used until election. We
desire to treat all alike, besides
it is business proposition with
/ us. The Independent Party and
Republican party of Custer
county can each have a column
on the same terms, if they SO de
sire.

The European powers are
aroused and number of poor,
misguided creatures like him will
probably be put out of harms
way i'll the next few weeks.
These learned governmental pun
dts find it easy to kill and thus
cure patients, but they are Meth
er wise nor progressive enough
to try prevention. We may call
Luchessi a fool; because one or
dozen murdered monarchs
would make no change in social
conditions except that the way
would be harder for the poor and
downtrodden. He and his like
are wrong in expecting society
to culver and shrink and dis
solve because of a hundred mur-
ders. 1t will go man hunting
relentlessly. But if he is fool,
what shall be said of rulers that
hope to cure anarchy by killing
anarchists ? They are only com
batting symptoms and still neg
lecting the ditch of social wrongs
that first began to be dug back in
dark ages, when lords knew lit
tie and serfs knew less. Un.
hesitatingly we can declare Luc-
hessi's method to have been
wrongr But it is a wrong that
grew out of q wrong; and if it be
fair to condemn the conditions
that made him a brute.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1898-10-11

Luchessi, insane with social
hatred, simply struck at her be-
cause she represented to him a
system of civilization that gives
nothing to one and everything
to another. He himself is a
symptom of poison in the social
ditch. Out of what slime then
was this evil hand thrust forth
to kill +? AS heedlessly as ami
mails his parents gave him being,
and as heartlessly as the only
human animal can do his mother
flung him out to live or to die.
Unfortunately he lived, and an
institution robbed him until ten
of every semblance of home.
Thrust out at that ridiculous age
to shift for himself, money and
its power became to his infant
soul one god above all, worship
full for ever. Then came a young
manhood of unskilled labor, with
frequent starvation pinches.
Then the army, where without
parentage to boast of there was
nothing for him but drudgery of
exasperating discipline. Then a
valet, actually in contact with
wealth though unable to rise and
take of its pleasures. Gradual
ly his souls protests against
fate soured him utterly, his in
tellect became slave instead OF
a master, and at one fell stroke
the unknown evil of the ditch
which society must cleanse soon
er or later, became power. His
name will be remembered as long
as that of the stricken and affiict
ed woman whom he hurried to
the tomb of the Harpsburgs.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Some valuable papers Of much histor-
ic interest have come to light in Long
meadow. They belonged to Jabez Col.
ton, who was graduate Of Yale college
in l775. During his life much time
and labor were spent in genealogical
study. and for years he was the local
authority in all antiquarian research.
In All old pocketbook, where it had
probably been undisturbed for more
than half century, was found the bill
Of sale for the Longmeadow church
bell, which reads:
New church bell, bought of Paul
Revere, Boston. 1910. Weight of the
bell and tongue, 1856 pounds, at SO
cents per pound, S52G52."
In 1915, after the declaration Of peace
following the war of 1879, the bell was
rung so violently that it was cracked,
which explains the second bill for re-
casting, also found in the pocketbook
"Town of Longmeadow, DR.. to Paul
Revere, June 8, 1916, to recasting a
broken bell, which was returned weight
1886 pounds Weight of the new bell,
LIB pounds, at l2R cents per pound,

cents per pound, $2075, leaving bal.

1916 of the inscription on the bell of
Kings chapel. Boston There are also
letters among the papers written as
early as l745, which are interesting
reading. Boston Post.

Blond Indians,

One of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who in.
habit the Sierra Madre mountains, in
the lower part of Sonora They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students of ethnology have always been
puzzled to account for them There is a
tradition, however, that these Indians
are the descendants Of the crew and
passengers Of Swedish vessel wrecked
on the Mexican coast centuries before
Columbus discovered the new world,
but this tradition is founded Oh nothing
more substantial than a folklore tale
current among them that their ancestors
came over the big salt water hundreds
OF moons ago.
The MeXicans have never been able to
conquer this people. Nominally, indeed,
they are under Mexican rule, but really
they are governed by their own chief,
and whenever the Mexican government
has interfered with them they have tax
Ell up arms, getting the best of the
scrimnase every time. Their nearest
Indian neighbors are the Yaquis, and
these two warliEe tribes have reciprocity
down to fine point. Each helps the
other when the McxicanS attack them.
The Mayas live principally by the chase,
although they cultivate some corn and
garden truck. The men are large and
we'll formed, and some Of the women are
remarkably handsome hlonds. - Ohio
