A Just and Equitable Division (?)

Now that it is all oyer and the
populists can sit down and i'll a
cool headed moment figure it out
he sees just what a democrat
means by lust and equitable
division of the spoils" On the
most conservative basis the demo-
Gratis took a double share of the
spoils of office. Further than this
they retain a full control of all
county business by retaining the
auditor and two of the county COM
missioners. To the list given be-
low the democrats have the dis
trict judge with salary Of 81 2 900
If Moore is elected he will owe it
to the popullsts of Nez Perez
county, for without their aid his
election is hopeless.
All these things were known to
the populists before the surrender
was contaminated but urged by
the democrats and blinded by
party predjudices the rank and file
allowed their sche1ning leaders
to deliver them to the party that
has at all times used them to
further its own ends. This is q
just and equitable division accord
ing to the democratic articles Of
faith. The more the populists
study the tables given below the
more they will appreciate the fact
that their leaders have betrayed
them in the same old way. Here
is the record:

Come out tonight and hear Hon.
A. B. Moss the republican nominee
for governor of the state of Idaho.
Come and be convinced that the
republicans have named a leader
who if elected will be governor
himself and not by typewriter
proxy. The business interests oil
the state will be safe in the hands
of man who has made a marked
success of large business interests
of his own.

The so called conference in this
city to which the silver republicans
were invited to participate was a
mere farce. The county ticket had
been previously arranged in a eau
Gus of democrats and as many of
the populists as were known 70 be
willing to yield principle for Office.
The Lewiston populists were eX-
Guided from this caucus because
they stood more for principle than
for office. The silver republicans
were met by a united demand from
the courthouse machine for every
thing III sight; so they withdrew
from the deliberations and did no,
enter into the fusion job. This
miscarriage effectually took the
silver issue out Of the present cam
paign so far as the fusion ticket is
concerned. This caucus fusion
was job for office and a job tc
support the old ring i'll power il
this county. Spells and not silver
was the caucus cry, and it must be
the campaign yell

The republican convention of
last week was a marked contrast
TO the storm centers dominated by
the office trust. The ticket was
quietly and quickly named and
will be Loyalty supported. 1t is a
strong, clean ticket, one that will
meet the approval of the citizens
of the county regardless of party
lines 1t is pledged to economy
and good government, and such of
its personnel as have been before
the people as public officials before
have records that will bear out the
promise to redeem these pledges.

Making q Bigger Dictionary,

Science is making the dictionary big
ger every day. A hundred years ago
nearly every common word now con-
nected with electricity was wholly un-
known. Steam and all the names now
applied to railroads, engines, gas, the
telegraph, the telephone and hundred
and one other important subjects never
had been heard of-and they would
make a small dictionary in themselves.
And now the single invention for throw
ing moving pictures on screens, various
ly known as the vitascope or kinetoscope,
has added dozens of new words to the
language within the last year or two.
Here is a list of the various names for
movement photographs"

An Unworthy Trick.

In recent Pail Mall Gazette we find
good story of landed proprietor in
Switzerland, who was very much inter-
ested i'll a railway matter upon which
the district where he was landed had to
vote He wanted it to vote Affirmative
ly, and so he let it he generally under
stood that every voter would become the
recipient of a liberal hamper of wine,
provided there was no negative vote to
be found in the ballot box. The number
of voters, including the great man him
self, totaled 10S, and on the day when
the voting was to be taken every one of
them went to the poll Not only that,
but every one of that crowd went to the
poll with the conviction that that ham,
per OF wine was as good as in his cellar.
Their disgust, therefore, may be readily
imagined when the ballot box was found
to contain 107 affirmative papers and
one negative. To the imagination also
must be left the language in which
their feelings found expression when
they arrived at the certainty that the
landed proprietor had landed them by
giving that vote himself.

Too Classic For Them.

A resident in small suburban town
quite long distance from Boston had
visit from German friend who knew
very little English but played the vio.
lin we'll. One of this residents neigh
bors gave musical evening"" and of
course he and his visitor were invited.
The German took his violin, and when
his turn came he played one of his best
pieces, from one of the great masters.
When he had finished, there was an
awkward silence and no applause. The
people were still looking expectantly at
the German, who looked disappointed
and fiustered. The silence grew painful.
Finally the hostess, quite red in the
face, edged over to the side of the Ger
man S friend
Cant you get him to-" she whis-
pered.
"What do you mean?''
"Why, now that he's got tuned up,
isn't he going to play something?''-

Administered His Own Estate,

Mr.. and Mrs. Cotterell never had any
children of their own, but they adopted
and educated several orphans and start
ed them in life. Uncle Matthew, as all
who knew him loved to call him, had a
religion of his own. 1t was to do good,
and he was always looking for opportu-
mites for practicing his religion. Char
liable to fault, he often gave to the
undeserving, but he said it was because
he did not care to risk refusing one who
might be worthy.
"I'll spend what l have," said Mr..
Cotterell, land that will prevent any
fighting over my estate.'' Upon this
suggestion he acted, and the result was
that he spent the declining years of his
life i'll doing good. He was the executor
of his own estate.
When Matthew Cotterell died, North
Bend lost a citizen who had been iden-
titled with its growth and prosperity,
who had given of his means to promote
the city S welfare and who was ready at
all times to do something more than
talk. But more than this the poor lost
friend and the state lost a splendid
citizen. World Herald.

A Kangaroo Colony Near London.

If we were to break suddenly upon a
London cyclist and tell him that with
in 20 miles of his great city there was a
colony of wild kangaroos, he would
probably either regard us as perverters
of the truth or of being in immediate
need of straitjacket. Yet we are as
sured on the highest authority that such
is the case, the colony existing ON Leith
Hill common. About IA years ago some
kangaroos escaped from Wootton House,
where they had been kept in confne-
ment. They took up their quarters near
Leith hill and have remained and null
tiplied there ever since 1t seems strange
that such emblems of the far west
should exist in wild state where the
great throb of London might almost be
felt and where the hum of the wheel
during the summer months is almost an
unCeaSing song

Christmas lSoxes.

1t was anciently a custom to carry a
box from door to door for the collection
of little presents at Christmas. In an
old work entitled 1.-THE Athenian Ora
cle' it is stated that formerly it was a
custom to offer mass for the safety of
all ships that went OH long voyages, to
each of which a little box was affixed,
under the custody of the priest, into
which the sailors put money or other
valuables in order to secure the prayers
OF the church. At Christmas these boxes
were opened and were thence called
'Christmas boxes" In order that no
person should omit these presents the
poor were encouraged to beg "box mon
ey' of their richer neighbors to enable
them to add to the priests perquisites.

Drinking In MedinvaI Universities.

The relation which the universities
sustained with reference to the munich
palities in which they were situated
forms large chapter in their early his
tory. The university was state within
a state. Every person connected with it
even remotely, down to the servants in
the families of the professors and those
who waited upon the students, were
amenable only to the academic court
The student was the citizen of a nation
IT scholars, whose flag overshadowed
him wherever in the kingdom he might
be.
Members of the student world were
exempt from military service, and in
many cases from all municipal tax.
They might receive their books and fur
niture, wine and beer free of duty.
The students of Leyden availed them
selves of this privilege to so great de-
gree and imported in such immense
quantities by private arrangements with
the publicans that law was necessary
prescribing how much a student might
legally receive without payment of ex-
else. The wise Legislators, animated
with generous sense of the privileges
of university, after due deliberation
fixed the proper drinking capacity of
student at so gallons of wine and 10
half casks of beer, which he could re-
ceive free of all tax-Professor w. II.

For Sleeplessness,

The following is recommended as a
cure for sleeplessness: "Wet a half
towel, apply it to the back of the neck,
pressing it upward toward the base of
the brain, and fasten the dry half of the
towel over so as to prevent the too rapid
exhalation. The effect is prompt and
charming, cooling the brain and induc-
ing calmer, sweeter sleep than any mar
cotic. Warm water may be used, though
most persons prefer cold. To those who
suffer from overexcitement of the brain,
whether the result of brain work or
pressing anxiety, this simple remedy
has proved an especial boon. New

A WlNTRY LANDSCAPE.

Not summers self was ever half so fair
AS this white winter wrapped in ermine
fleece,
A royal silence brooding everywhere
And all the world voiceess dream Of peace
Amber and opal, faintest pearl and rose,
Orange and purple in the sunset sky;
In 11ery hues the wide west flames a}sS glows
Nor fades till stars are shining out on high
Der steel blue lakes the sheen is bright like
mail,
The trees in naked beauty lift their limbs,
ihe wind is hushed that erst did sob and wall
softer Its tones than mothers cradle hymns.
Strange, silent winter, fair beyond belief,
White robed and fair and dreamy as the night,
Forgetting pain and care and JOY and grief,
Creeps solcmnly apace and shrouds the light.

Stories of Sir Frank Lockwood,

Of his early dramatic days the late
Sir Frank Lockwood once said: II
made my first appearance on any stage
in the old theater at Bath. This theater
was the cradle of many great reputa-
tion, as surely as it was the coffin of
mine. was cast for the part of serv-
ant-one of those faithful creatures to
whom wages are not so much an object
as a comfortable home. Through five
acts tracked a mysterious chkd, until
that mysterious child must have been
heartily sick of me- 1t was an Irish
part, and for its delineation l had
studied and thought had acquired a
real brogue, racy of the Emerald Isle
we have been wondering subsequent
ly said the manager, what dialect you
have been playing the part in, T. me
say it is Scotch, some say it is l.lsh,
but the gasman, who tells me he has
often played the part, says it is Zumer-
set -
Some time ago Sir Frank received an
invitation to stay at friends country
house in a remote district. But he
thought of taking a short holiday, and
as the invitation mentioned no length of
stay he telegraphed, MAY 1 stay six
days?'' The message was duly delivered
to his friend, who had to pay shillings
to the messenger, and his reply was,
Eyes, of course, but don't telegraph"
Here was an excellent opportunity for
joke, and Sir Frank was not slow to
seize it. AS evening was falling another
mounted messenger arrived at the coun-
try house and delivering telegram de-
manded further shillings. The tele-
gram ran, "Why not?-Lockwood." -

Japanese Methods.

An English dealer, interviewing Okla,
the great modern Japanese carver of
ivories, said to him: "Why do you
waste your time Oh carving the under
part, which is never seen? You could
work much quicker and make money
far more rapidly if you were to leave
that part plain" And the carver all
swered: God, who gave me skill and
taste, can see the under part dare not
leave it uncarved" That is the spirit
in which the work is done in far Japan.
Small wonder that it excels in beauty
and individuality. y.-Exchange.
