THE balance of trade in favor Of
the United States during the pres
ent Administration has reached the
incredible sum Of $1,483, 100000,
an amount that passes the power of
comprehension. The balance of
trade in favor of the United States,
during all the Administrations that
preceded that of Mckinley, from
Washington to Cleveland inclusive,
was $3S3,OOO,OOO. To put the
matter in another way, the three
years of the Mckinley Administra-
ton have seen a trade balance ST.
100,000,000 greater than was ac-
cumulated during the century pre-
ceding his Inauguration. The
advance agent of prosperity has
made good his promises, has done
ten times more than he promised,
and the people who know good
thing when they see it will be slow
to change such certainty for
doubtful promises.

s. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor

AS has been stated in these col
umns heretofore the republicans of
Idaho are particularly fortunate
this year in available timber for a
candidate for governor, Just at
this time the particular fitness of
the various gentlemen mentioned
in connection with the nomination
is being thoughtfully considered in
party circles. The HERALD notes
that the name of Hon. l. l.. Ormsby,
of Boise City, is meeting with great
favor. Mr.. Ormsby was recently
elected delegate to the national
convention and is one of the strong
men of Idaho.

to admit the great strength of the
argument of Senator ShOup as con-
tanned liz his interview as published

reasons why Idaho should vote for
Mckinley AMI Republican rule this
year. 1t admits that Idaho is
prosperous, because its chief in
dustries are prosperous. 1t can
fini only one little haw-wheat,
considerable of an admission, by
the way. There is this to be said
about wheat-it is at least no worse
off under republican rule than
democratic, and the people are this
much better off, in that they have
money to buy bread with now, and
under democratic rule many of
them did not, and for the present
condition thanks to the billion
five-hundred- million-dollar balance
of trade in favor of the United
States under three years of William

Yesterday, according to tradition, the
ground. hog emerged from his winters
Information and took an astronomical OBJ
servation. Probabilities for future
weather We're up to him.
Now the question as to whether the
ground hog saw his shadow or not de-
ponds, Of course, on locality. Certainly
the woodchuck in the vicinity of st.
Paul saw his shadow. According to the
same tradition he was due to crawl back
into his hole and remain dormant for six
weeks. This would carry him UP to
March 16. Quite number Of people
would be willing to call everything off
and let 1t go at that. Had yesterday
been cloudy all day we are given to I'M
derstand that tie ground hog would have
disported himself -
So much for ground hog day." In the
minds Of some this date is intimately as
ISOLATED with Candlemas, although for
what reason is not definitely known. 1t is
true that ground hog day and Candlemas
come on the I'd of February. The latter
is a church festival which, originally, in
Scotland was chosen as one of the four
term days. The festival commentaries
the publication of. the Virgin, and the OBJ
servances to which 1t owes It's name, viz,
the lighting Of candles, and, in the
Roman Catholic church, the conservation
of the candles which are to be used DUR
ing the year for ecclesiastical purposes,
are said to have an emblematic reference
to the, .pfophecg7of Simeon that the child
Jesus should become a light to Tighten
the GentfIes.t
4 1T is quite probable. that the institution
of this feast dates from the reign of
Justinian. The year 542 is sometimes fix
ed upon as that of It's first celebration.
Out of the heather festivals held in this
month It Is supposed to have grown. This
view is supported by the following con-
siderations: First, the word February,
from februare, denotes publication. Sec
ond, in this month the publication of the
people occurred. Third, the rites of the
Lupercalia, which We're celebrated Feb.
Is, included the lighting Of candles, In al
fusion to those used by Ceres in her
search for Preserpine. Fourth, the origin
of other Christian feasts appears to have
been similar.

The plaintiff is twenty-six years old

According to the complaint Fischer
tried his best to make existence unbear-
able for his wife, and in so doing did
mag. harry and harass this inoffensive
plaintiff" incidentally getting in few
blows and considerable abuse. Last April
she says her unfeeling spouse drove
her and the children from their home

Fischer, according to- the complaint, is
butcher by trade, but last spring went
to work for the street car company. He
has, says Mrs. Fischer, not only refused

that of the children, but has taken her
personal funds, compelled her to work in
a laundry, and cruelty slaughtered GER
