1t was an unusual aggregation which
greeted the eye Of the wayfarer as he

shotgun under his arm; medium
sized dog Of the mongrel kind, and a
small, wire-haired skye TERROR devoid
OF pedigree made II up. The appear

he had been out cunning; but the ap-
pearance OF the dogs precluded the

THE GERMANS ANTELOPE.

Minneapolis Journal: Jessie Schley's
story as to how she stopped the war is
about on a par with the hunting feat Of
the German ranchman, as narrated by
Howard Eaton, of Medora, N. D., dean
of the Bad Lands. The rancher in cues
ton was a rank amateur in everything
but the art of exaggeration. One day he
came around among the boys all puffed
up over the fact that he had killed an
antelope. AS he was known to be no
stalker, and hadn't had any fresh meat
about his place for weeks, some doubt
was expressed abou his having really
bagged any big game, ~whereupon he ex-
planned:
The other day 1 see dree andelopes,

poverty was. His was a life of mpa
tive affluence, while Abraham Lincoln
was born in squalor. There was a faint
upon his very name. He had no advan-
tages. He knew nothing but labor from
the cradle to the grave. What little edu-
cation he had he obtained by the light
OF burning torches. He had hardships
enough in his youth to embitter him to-
ward all the world, an yet the light from
the torches shone out from one of the
clearest of brains in later years, and the
harGships of his childhood only gave him
a more infinite pity for Gods poor. In
that first rough discipline he acquired the
power to meet any fate that was assigned
to him. While learning that s~elf-control
he sounded all the depths of the human
heart, and so later he knew by instinct
how to deal with men of all shades of
character, of all qualities of min
His trlumphs multiplied as the years
went on. He lived down the %prejudices
of the men who had been more fortunate
thar he, more fortunate in worldly pos
sessions, more fortunate in the polish Of
the schools, more fortunate in the graces
of society, lived down their prejudices
and awakened at last their most profound
reverence and admiration. No man ever
had a stormier voyage of life than his.
The last four years OF it eliminated in
hurricanes and icy blasts, but under it all
he grew more and more sublimated, until
at last when the news came that the as

covered heads, bewailed the misfortune
which had come to the world in his taxi

We do not think that he had a greater
brain than Jefferson, but jefferson never

that which surrounds the memory OF

GREAT CHARACTERS.

The observance of the anniversary of
Jefferson's birth in the city of New York
occurred on the anniversary of the as
sassination of Abraham Lincoln, which
fact leads Judge Goodwin of the Salt
AXE Tribune to make the following COM
parison between the two men:
But this day happens to be an ami
versary which men should keep in mind.
1t was thirty-four years ago thise evening
that Abraham Lincoln was mortally
wounded by a misguided man who, in his
frenzy, thought to do one section of this
country a favor by putting out the life
of another man whose heart was big
enough to take all this country within it,
and who never had a purpose that was
not high and holy toward every section
of his native land.
Jefferson never knew what extrems

@ RETURNING.

In discussing the Jeffersonian banquets,
which ought to have been digested long
the Anaconda Standard of this morn
ing propounds the following momentous
question:
Now, if the democrats who were for
Bryan three years ago We're to give up
silver and return what would they re-
turn to?
If the esteemed Standard circulated
very largely among Yankees this question
would be answered by asking another:
IF the democrats give up the ratio of 16
to / what will they do with the free coin
age issue?' Having waived the ratio as
Irrelevant, and given up the chief con-
tention of the free coinage men, the
Standard has quite naturally reached a
point where it becomes interrogatory.
The foregoing question seems to indi-
cate that the silver democrats will have
nothing to return to If they give up silver.
Evidently the Standard overlooks the i'm
mortal principles of Thomas Jefferson,
vi 1 We Iiof I iiS"iN ~ a"> ~ N~N
And what's the matter with Andrew
Jackson, and eighty years of democratic
history? Does the Standard mean to in
sinuate that there is nothing on the other
side of 1896 to which the silver democrats
| may return, in case binetallism is laid
| upon the shelf by the national democratic
| convention in 1900? Have the grand prin-
! ciples for which the Standard contended
prior to 1886, has the glorious reign of
| Grover Cleveland which vas so warmly
endorsed by the democrats of Montana
in state convention assembled, gone to
that bourne from whence no political
PRINCIPLES ever return? Alas, is there
| nothing for the silver democrats to re-
turn to?
If his be true, why should they at
tempt to return? Why make a start to
return to a vacuum, which nature is said
to abhor, by turning down the campaign
plans of the silver leaders in the first
Mace. and then regulating the free coin
| age ratio of 16 to 1? The Standard made
| an elegant squirt on the return trip be-
| fore it discovered there was nothing tc
return to.

THE SIGNATURE LAW.

California Will soon be enlivened by a
requiring signatures to- be attached to
articles appearing in the press went into
effect theoretically on the 10Th instant,
but practically it is ignored. The news
papers question: the constitutionality Of
the law and will make common cause
against it. A penalty of 81 900 can be i'm
posed for the violation of this law, one
half of which amount goes to the party
bringing the action. This incentive will
insure a test case in the near future, and
the great struggle between the newspa-
pers and the law-making power will be-
GIN.
The intent of the law is doubtless to To-
cate responsibility and facilitate actions
for libel, yet it is an abridgement of the
liberties of the press and will be COM
tested on that ground. Some newspapers
have attempted to voluntarily introduce
the innovation of signed articles, but the
novelty soon wore off. The strength of a
newspaper rests in it's ~impersonality, ind
this is destroyed by the plan of attaching
signatures.
Instead of an article rejecting the opin-
ion Of some great journal it would, If
signed, be construed as the personal views
of John Smith who wrote it. And who is
John Smith? Merely a member of the
Smith family only that and nothing
more. The influence of the press would
dwindle under a regime of that kind, and
the newspaper men propose to fight the
law to the bitter end.

MORE LAUGHTER,

Chicago Times-Herald: rs one of
your mistakes talking too much?' asked
a lecturer of an audience of women. "I
fear it is. And another is not having
enough fun. Nearly every woman is a
miser of jollity. Men are willing to catch
pleasure as it flies. But women must
have everything just SO before they can
abandon themselves to enjoyment, and
then they are usually too tired to take it.
It's a disease, but fortunately not incura-
BILE. Women say it is easy to talk this
way, but that one can't be laughing
when one is hurried and worried. All I
can say is that you might be as hurried,
but you wouldn't be as worried if you
did laugh. 1 happened once to speak of
my husband to a little girl, and she
said:
"'Why, I didn't know you were mar
ried.'
"'Why?' I asked.
"'Oh, cause .
"'Cause whyr

NO ROOM FOR THE LAST LETTET

A man, recently left a widower, when
arranging for his late wife.s tombstone,
gave orders that the lettering should be
of a stated size. At the bottom Of the
stone he wished to have the words:

The stone mason said he was afraid
there would not be room for the words,
but the bereaved husband insisted, and
the carving was put in hand. The cor
rectness of the mason's view was justi-
fled, for, when the stone was finished, at
the foot of the tablet were the words:

QUAY ACQUITTED.

The Inter Mountains Geographic col
umns today announce The acquittal Of
having conspired to defraud the state of
Pennsylvania. The acquittal is doubly
significant in hat Mr.. Quay made no de-
Tense whatever, and the case was deter
mined on the testimony of the prosecu-
ton. 1t cannot be claimed that he es-
capped conviction through legal technicali-
prosecution had the undisputed right of
way and failed to make out a case
against him.. + s.
So evident has it become that the ac-
ton brought against Mr.. Quay was an
effort on the part of his enemies to ems
ompass his political ruin, rather than
to serve the ends of justice, that Cover
nor Stone has promptly appointed him
senator to fill the vacancy caused by the
failure of the legislature to elect. This
appointment is made under clause 2, sec
ton 8, article 1 of the constitution of the
United States, which refers to senatorial
vacancies as follows:
If vacancies happen by resignation, or
otherwise, during the recess of the legiS-
lature of any state, the executive thereof
may make temporary appointment until
the next meeting of the Legislature, which
Shall then fill such vacancies.
If the precedent established in the case
of Senator Mantle is followed, as it was
when Mr.. Corbett of Oregon was refused
a seat, Mr.. Quay will find himself barred
from the senate. That body holds that
the failure of a legislature to perform a
duty delegated to it by the constitution
cannot empower a state executive to as
sumo it. The matter was widely dis
cussed when Mr.. Mantle presented his
credentials from Governor Richards, with
the result that a seat in the senate was
denied him. The senate will not reverse
itself n seat Mr.. Quay.
Presumably, the appointment made by
Governor Stone is intended more in the
! natur of a vindication of Mr.. Quay thar
as a passport to the senate. Had the
charges not been brought against that
gentleman he undoubtedly would have
been reelected, and the chief executive
Of Pennsylvania has done the proper
thing in complimenting him with In APP
pointment. 1t is a question of a short
time only when the legislature OF that
state will be reconvened to pass neces-
sary appropriation bills, and it's scope
may be widened to the consideration of
the United States senatorship. If so, Mr.
Quay will be elected, unless unforeseen
contingencies arise.
Tt is now in order for the democratic
press, which have so industriousB be-
smirched Mr.. Quay in advance of a hear,
