Il charge you to drop every paltry

but do not destroy the immortal EN-

Have those who have been guardi-

days of that great statesman and
patriot needed that admonition? We
are sorry to say they have not, and
today there are men in authority and
debating the governmental policy of
this boosted Gland Of the free and

EASTERN ROADS

The Pennsylvania and its allied

York Central and its auxiliaries fol

CO. operation will promote their inter-
ests more effectually than competition.
1t is only matter of time when all
the important railroads OF the United
States will be under one management,
of course many offices will be abol-
ished-the Travelling Passenger &
Freight Agent will be eliminated-a
great saving will be made in adver-
Using and thousands of men will be
thrown out Of employment.
This scheme is not reported as
chimerical. Why then should Mr..
Thompson of Cleveland be consider
ed dreamer? The Juggernaut will
continue to slay it's thousands and its
tens OF thousands until the people Of
this country rise up in their might

Then and not til then, the tentacles
of this octopus will commence to re-
lax its hold upon the industries Of the
country. Then, and not till then,
legal measures will be taken towards
curtailing the scope of the Depart
mcnt Store-the curse OF our large
cities-the source OF thousands of
failures.
No, we do not regard the daring
scheme of Russell Thompson as Wis

IDAHO'S MISFORTUNE.

A, telegram from San Francisco
says that unless the president com
mutes their sentence, four Idaho vol
unteers must serve time in the fetler-
al prison at Alcatraz and go out when
their terms expire with the brand of
dishonorable discharge from
the service. They are Edward Thier-
lof Of Co. H., Geo. Guyett of Co D
Mead Barr OF Co. F., Edward Callan
of Co. l. They we're convicted OF
violating the sixty-second article OF
war, which provides against such
offenses as drunkenness, resisting an
officer, conduct unbecomiug a soldier,
and disobeying orders.
They have all served parts of their
sentence in Bilibid prison on the
island Of Luzon.
This report will be heard with deep
regret by the people of Idaho. Our
states volunteers distinguished them
selves in the Philippines, and it is in
deed sad that these soldiers ehould so
far lose their heads as to thus mar
the good record made by our young
heroes OF the West.

have been struggling for many years
for an independent republic, which
is contrary to the spirit and letter OF

wherein it says, in substance, that we

warranted encroachment of this
nation on the rights of people who
believe in liberty and justice and
want an Independent republic.

1t is important that the people in

clearly that no power on earth can

The Boise Attorney Talks OIL the
Fusion Question
CLAIMS HIS PARTY IS DEAD
He Does Not Talk For His Party; Only
Speaks His Individual
Opinion.

Attorney W. K. Borah, of Boise,
who is silver republican and re-
putable citizen in all that that term i'm
plies, in response to an invitation,
recited his position regarding fusion
of the silver forces in this state in a
volumnious contribution to the Poca-
tello Tribune recently.
Mr.. Borah did not assume to speak
for the rank and file Of the silver re-
publicans; he only spoke his individ-
ual opinion, and in no sense did he
stand forth and play the part Of a
dictator for his party in this state.
He plainly stated that so far as his
party was concerned, he considered
it dead, as party, and that he was
unalterably opposed to fusion in the
future, but he failed to even suggest
a new plan for his associates in the
next campaign
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Borah,
il he really meant what he said,
practically stands alone in this matter,
and that silver republicans every
where are satisfied with fusion and
are earnestly hoping that the silver
forces Of Idaho will march harmoni-
ously under one banner to meet the
worshipers of gold in the fight of
1900
If Bryan is chosen as the demo-
cratic standard bearer next year, and
his nomination is foregone con-
clusion, Mr.. Borah is not the man to
shrink his duty and we are confident
he will be found supporting and
stamping for the great silver champ
ion. The Boise lawyer is too good a
bimetallist to desert the leaders in the
great cause when the battle is only
half won.
Let us hope that the silver forces
will join hands and present a solid
front to the enemies Of the common
people who have blocked the way of
human liberty and progress, and let
us further hope that our distinguished
friend, Mr.. Borah, will be con-
spicuous figure in the approaching
contest, raising his voice against the
contemplate encroachments of the
wealth power of the nation.

TION OF OIL.

More than 5,O00O00,OOO gallons Of
petroleum are now produced annually
in the world. OF this $500, 100000 gall
Ions are produced in the United States
and 2,250,000,000 in Russia. The
amount of refined Illuminating oil sup.
piled by the United States is more than
double that produced by Russia. This
is due to the fact that given quantity
of the United States oil produces three
fourths OF its bulk in refined illuminate
ing oil, while the same quantity OF
Russian oil produces only about three
Fights Of its bulk. The United King
dom is the largest consumer of mineral
oils exported by the United States, our
total export to that country in the last
fiscal year being 212,265,563 gallons,
against 55,2O3.222 to Germany, the
next on the list.

MAGIC TALES.

One of the oldest forms of magic
was the Transformation of a person
into the shape of some animal or bird
In story by Apulelus the hero looks
through the keyhole to see a witch
change herself into an owl, and while
trying a similar experiment is himself
changed into a donkey. Unfortunate
ly, he does not know the secret of re-
Stunning his own shape, except that he
must wait the winter through until
the spring brings back the roses,
when he must devour a rosebud, which
will restore him. The book contains
an account of his adventures and suf-
ferings in this disguise.
A story has been found in a chron-
icle which is evidently a "reminiscences
of this superstition. The story Is
assigned to the Eleventh century. a
thousand years after Apuleius wrote
There were two old women living in a
cottage near Rome. If stranger
came to the house alone, these ladies
transformed him into a pig or a horse
or some other animal and sold him,
spending the gully proceeds In
wicked gluttony. One day there
passed along the road young man
who was by calling a minstrel and a
dancer. Him they transformed into a
donkey. The victim preserved his in
tellects and his skill after the trans
formation, and performed all his for
mer feats and tricks In asinine shape.
Nothing more wonderful was ever
seen than donkey who could do con-
juring tricks and could also dance and
execute the most graceful capers you
can imagine Accordingly these ladies'
were enabled to sell the animal for a
large sum OF money.
A rich man bought him, and when
ever he had company sent for him to
amuse his friends. But the witches
warned him that he must never suf-
fer the donkey to be within reach of
running water. In the end the per-
forming animal managed to reach a
he drank of the water, and in
stantly resumed his shape. Where Is
my Donkey" asked Dives, bewlldered
and baffled. 81 am the donkey" the
young man replied. They took him
to the judge, who heard the story,
sent for the witches and made short
work OF them.

XIII any stray micrdGes that have en-
tered by chance
An epidemic of SD cides ragged in
Paris during the mon ia of April. No
fewer than IL cases oG suicide were re-
ported at the prefecture of police on
one Sunday. Suicide On account of I'M
requitetd affection is hot rare in Paris
but nearly all the recent cases were
due to poverty. The fact that so many
occurred on the same day is accounted
for by Saturday being the quarter day
for small rents. One of the most sad
of the II tragedies was enacted in the
Rue Versigny, at Montmartre. where
widow, Nine, Legouge, 80 years of
age, killed herself and her two little
boys. She had worked hard in try
ing to make living as dressmaker,
but in spite of all her efforts had fallen
behind in paying her rent, and de-
cided to put an end to her existence.
Similar reasons led to the suicide of a
couple, aged so and 60, respectively, in
the Rue Hautpoul. They had been re-
duced to want by the death of their
son.
Our chief aim in the days that pass
seems to be the saving of time, and
the very latest effort in this direction
will be gratefully welcomed by those
who lind the matutinal toilet prepara-
tons absorbing too many minutes of
each day. Instead of having to go
through the usual routine of rubbing
oneself down on stepping from the
bath, then donning robe ne balm and
slippers, and finally giving oneself a
finishing polish, so to say, under the
new system all one will have to do is
literally to blot oneself like a letter.
For means has been discovered of
utilizing paper for bath robes and
slippers, so that the bather, on emerg-
ing from the water simply gets into
blotting paper garment, so to speak
and is straightway dry. The process
is said to be much warmer than the
usual method, and a preventative OF
colds. Perhaps the time may vet
come when we shall paper ourselves
instead of dressing, or, at all events,
array ourselves in garments composed
of that material, Mrs. Blank looked

ries of tissue paper" or Miss Jones'

with revers of moss green hieratica, y

WILL SEE THREE CENTURIES.

There are number of persons who
II they last until the end of the pres
ent year will have seen three centu-
ries. That is, they will have lived in
the nineteenth and nave seen the end
OF the eighteenth and the beginning OF
che twentieth.
In the number of centenarians the
United States comes first. It Is es-
timated that there are at least 700
scattered over the country.
In Servla one man in 1890 has seen
100 years, and in all, Servia boasts
$50 men of 100 years or over.
Ireland ranks next with one centen-
arian in every $3.50 of the population,
or SIS in all.
Spain favors length OF years, and out
of $4,000 Spaniards one is a centen-
arian, with total of 401.
Norway numbers %, or one in about
$4,000.
England, Scotland, and Wales rank
next with 1872, or one in about TT 900.
France has 213 centenarians, or one
in 1S0,750
Sweden ranks seventh with 20 only,
or one in $4,000.
Germany has rs, or one in 105, 900.
Denmark only claims two, or less
than one to 100000 of Its population,
and Switzerland, with all its reputed
healthiness, seems not to possess a
single centenarian.
