the Dowager Empress, Eszi-Chi. 1t is

China would far ather face the Emperor

firmness has often been tried and never
been broken. She is still the power which
rules the colossal country of 800, 600 600

in the throes of revolution and warfare.

DO NOT TELL 1T ALL.

The editor is often blamed for what
he publishes, but if those who blame
him could only know what he declines
to publish, they would rise up and call
him an angel of light, rather than an
imp of darkness. We would not be un-
derstood as implying that there is a
skeleton in every closet or scandal in
every home, for such is not the case,
but the backbitings, the white lying,
the hollow shams and the base hypo-
crisies are what we mean. Men and
women who meet and pose as friends,
and yet carry knives up their sleeves to
stab the characters of each other.
Hypocrites who use the livery of heaven
to serve the devil in. Shams whose
exterior shines like gilded ball, and
whose moral character is as spotted as
the leopard of the Jungle Whisperers
who go about spreading the seeds of
scandal as the wind scatters the down
OF the thistle, and gossips whose sole
aim is to destroy the happiness of the
world. Newspaper men tell much but
they do not tell it all, for to do so would
cause social upheavals that would make
society tremble.

CIGARETTE HABIT,

Chairman Hartman of the Union
Pacific road has issued an order for
bidding cigarette-smoking by the en-
ployees of the road, and has emphasized
the meaning of the rule by extending
it to the directors while attending the
meetings.
Speaking with full sense of his re-
sponsibility and in the light of his ex-
perience, Mr.. Hartman says that cigar
ette-smokiug makes men "dopy," and
he adds that the company might as
well go to the insane asylum for its
employees as to retain cigarette
fiends" in it's service.

INTO THE: HIGH SCHOOL.
Thirteen out of Twenty are Success
ful in Their Examinations.

The students of the eighth grade
in the public school, under the tu-
ition of Miss Bean, were severely
tested in their closing examinations
this year. They were put to ex-
treme1y hard work by their teacher
in order to pass the necessary ex-
aminations to entitle them to enter
the high school. The examinations
were conducted under the personal
direction and supervision of the
County School Superintendent.
This is the beginning of move
ment looking to establishing uni
form high school grades through
out the State. Miss Bean deter
mined to make a good showing in
her department and worked indie
fatigab1y with her pupils. The re-
suit was that - out of twenty who
took the examinations passed. OF
the IS, the following passed at the
first examination: Myrtle Ohm
stead, Edward Clements Bert
George, Bessie Harris, Ivan Price,
Edna Enge1 and Floy Ward. The
following were given subsequent
examination in one study in which
they originally failed: Mae Plat,
Clara Smith, Maggie Davis, Van
Moore, Katie Morrow and Mary
Cupp. The examinations through
out were of the same character as
are given to third grade teachers.
Miss Bean and her students are de-
serving of great praise for the pro-
gress shown.

THg REAL. TROUBLE.

Information to date from the
Lewiston convention, indicates that
there is considerable personal feel
ing against Governor Steunenberg,
not so much on account of his
course in the Occur d Alene affair
as, because of other tnatters.-Idaho
Falls Times. 81. d, H.. 49,: .
.. And so that is the ''real trouble"
is'itf 1t is pitiful commentary on
western Democracy that in conven-
ton assembled it lacked the cour-
age TO state specifically just what
the other matters were. If the
idaho Fails paper is correct, then
we are 70 understand that the west
ern Democracy endorse Governor
Steunenberg's Coeur d'Alene ad-
ministration but repudiate him be-
cause of his undemocratic methods
of political manipulation. 1t is not
the bull pen, not martial law, not
suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus, not the permit system that
western Democrats object to, but
Steunenberg's diligence in promot-
ing his own political fortunes. That
simply means that Democratic jeal-
ousy of Governor Steunenberg is a
more potent element in working his
downfall than is Democratic love of
justice and reverence tor the forms
Of law. It occurs to us that Gov
ernor Steunenberg is beginning to
taste of the sweets of Dubois poll
tics, and as he is a~warm disciple of
the. 3ame school, we trust he enjoys
the experience. This much now

CURk'S CENSUS.

One of the facts brought out by
the recent census of Cuba is that a
very considerable proportion of the
inhabitants live in the cities. If
among cities we include places
having population of 5000 or
more, there are 49e,6S2 people, or
Z az per cent. of the whole, living in
the cities. If the basis be widened
80 as to- include places having a
population of / 900 or more, we
find among the inhabitants of cities
a population Of74E,273, or, ~ per
cent. of the whole. Naturally
: enough, the population is very un-
evenly distributed, for while in
Santiago 81 per cent. of the inhabi-
tants live in the country, in Havana
on the Cther hand; ~ per cent. live
In the cities. 1t is estimated that,
Cuba has lost about 5 $40 per cent.
Of her population in the period
since 1887. The total population
of the island is not very large, only
