That was an exciting scene after tho
battle Of Bosworth, which was fought
between Richard III and the Earl of
Richmond, the king falling and the
earl, triumphing, when Lord Stanley
brought tho crown and handed it to tho
carl, seated on horseback, while the dy-
ing and tho dead of tho battle were ly-
ing all around. But it is moro thrill
ing spectacle as wo look forward
through tho centuries and 500 the last
armed and impo,ial iniquity of tho
world slain and the crown of universal
victory put upon the oonqucror on the
white horse Of the Apocalypse and all
nations "hail the power of Jesus
name. That the whole earth will be
redeemed is ono Of tho things long ago
settled in heaven.
Another thing decided in that high
place is that all who are adjoined to tho
unparalleled Ono Of Bethlehem and
Nazareth and Golgotha will be tho sub
jccts Of supcrnal felicity without any
taking off. Tho old adago says that
'bcggars must not be chooscrs," and
the human race in its depleted state
had better not bo critical Of tho mode
ny which God would cmpalace all Of us.
| could easily think Of a plan moro
complimentary to our fallen humanity
than that which is called tho "plan Of
salvation" If God had allowed us to
do part Of the work of recovery and he

tors Of it al.l he do tho last quarter, if
We could accomplish most Of it and he
just put on tho finishing touches, many
could look with moro complaccncy upon
tho projected reinstatement of tho hu-
man family. No, MOI We must have
our prido subjugatcd, our stubborn will
made flexible and supernatural powor
demonstrated in US at every step, A.

nublic. There is more in this than
appears on the surface. The death OF
Lord Herschell was only accidently
coincident with the arrival OF Mr..
Choate in Southampton, but there
is more than a coincidence under
wing the expressions of friendship
and heartfelt appreciation to which
utterance was given. The two great
nations are clearly drawn closer to-
gether, and the honors paid to the
living statesman and iurist by the
people of Great Britin will combine
with the EXPIRE ssion of sympathy
and este EN- for the dead statesman
and iurist from the people OF the
United Statesin strengthening the
bond of sympathy. These things
show how near we are to each other
in all that is worth maintaining;
in all that has served i to make
both nations great.

Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored
mind. Sees God in the cloud, and hears
Him in the wind.
(-Cowper, Webster, or some
body else,)
These lines we're penned sometime
ago, and at the time were no doubt
true; but Lo has improved with age.
He has raised his uaYuses, his rents,
and came generally with Uncle Sam
till he is no longer poor neither does
he study, spiritual things in cloud
and wind for the cloud has rolled
away and the wind has got out of
breath but he, with the white man,
studies them in the bottom of the
glass.
Lo is no longer poor. The mellow
'chuck of his chink filed sock leg
or shot ba G opens the doQr to all that
surrounds and embellish es civilized
life and swings wide the portal to
the palace halls of the "four hun.
dred''', while tapestry carpets echo
the soft cadence of the PUNK of his
mo ccasined feet, He comes to town
astride a $50 saddle, In most costly
hacks and in palace cars, and re.
celves a royal welcome. Even the
dark brown smell that he weaves
into his. .own life, and into lives and
lungs Of, others is overlooked from
the windward side. .Lo is a trump
and we extend an invitation to him
every time he gets his spondulucks
from our uncle. After that he may
come if he chooses, but the latch
string may be on the inside.-X

The law creating the code com
mission has been made farce by
Coy. Steunen berg. Had he appoin-
ted lawyers of recognized ability in
stead of appointing men merely to
pay political debts and to reward
friends, the law would have been a
great benefit to the people of the
state, as our laws are in fearful
condition but as it is the law merely
opens the door to the state treasury
and the taxpayers pockets. The
newspapers and people throughout
the state declare that gigantic
wrong has been perpettated on the
people OF the state by the appoint
ment of such a commission. Even
the Lewiston Tribune assents to the
statement of the Boise Statesmen
and says; When cases like the
present arise newspapers that can
afford to be independent and true to
the commonwealth must stand to-
gether on the common ground of
public welfare and while DISCLOSING
hesource of error point out the right
full course in manful tones that are
not marred by partisan discord or
spleen. The Statesman expresses it's
dissatisfaction III plain, specific
terms that are impossible to be hon
estly attributed to sordid or political
motives. This means that the trend
of opinion is that the commission
as constituted will not render the
service that was designed for it.
This leaves two alternatives-either
the commission must now demon
strate itself superior to the ordinary
Judgment of it's capabilities, or it
must be strengthened by resignation
or removals. At any rate the com
mission and the administration
know that the state is. not pleased
with the situation, and it will be
the fault Of both if they do not en-
deavor to retrieve the origins al mis-
take by service which the state
may later have cause to justify and
applaud"

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
When in the course of political events
party becomes demoralized by afiliat-
ing with and aiding any other party
holding different views On points at Is
sue, of vital Importance to the welfare
OF the common people in the mistaken
belief that such action would by secur-
ing the adoption of statute on a sim
gle issue on which both agree and
which IS of vastly less Importance than
many others that might be named on
which they disagree; and when it is
further a we'll known fact that it Is the
evident intention of many so-called
leaders within the party, to make this
alliance perpetual, 1t behooyes men
who desire to stand by the well known
landmarks of the party to call halt in
such unholy and homogeneous alliance.
Therefore be it resolved, that we are
opposed to fusion with any party hold
ing views antagonistic to our own.
Resolved, that we will stand by the
Omaha platform.
Resolved, that we are in favor of the
referendum, the initiative, the impera-
tive mandate and proportional repre-
sentation.
Resolved, that we favor the destruc.
ton OF all mOnopIles in the only way it
can be successfully done, namely, by
the public taking possession of the
same and operating them In the inter-
est Of the whole people at cost.
