sordid partisanship is concerned,
Holding itself tue most prominent
paper in the state 1t plays the dig
nifty game to avoid the certain defeat
it would meet if it undertook an in
telligent argument upon the issues

from day to day the wild claptrap Of
vicious Misrepresentation. 1t depends
upon its position to protect it from
successful challenge and assumes
that when called down it can escape
exposure by wrapping its lordly airs
about itself and sweeping aside all it
cannot answer as something which
would lower it to take cognizance or
But the public is quick to recognize
the evasion and weigh it for what 1T
is worth. When it thinks to brush
aside the issues Of this campaign
with the empty plea that Bryan IS
simply a calamity bowler, it is sadly
mistaken, though the full count next

realization upon it, When it would
pass by with the casual claim that

BIG FLOPPER IN A BOX.

The Salt Lake Tribune should
pounce upon Secretary Gage and de-
nounee him. The Tribune used to
do this to perfection 1t did it then
because it saw in Secretary Gage one
of the instruments of that financial
policy which held for the world more
woes than all the wars of the world
had brought upon humanity 1t
should denounce the secretary now
because he is doing great deal to
render the Tribune ridiculous and to
let the props from beneath the grand
stand on which the Salt Lake subsi-
dization is wildly waving lis arms
and mumbling at the backs of an
audience which, until very, very re
Gently, turned eager listening ears
and joyous faces towards the now
decayed expounder. The Tribune
seeks to hide its shame behind the
assertion that silver is not an issue
and that if Bryan were elected he
could not accomplish anything what
ever for silver The utter fallacy of
SO fimsy an excuse for supporting
the gold standard has been repeatedly
exposed, but now blunders along
that boor, Gage, and gets his muddy
boot on the white skirts of the Tri-
bune. In a letter to the Hon. Carl
Schurz, the secretary of the treasury
says:
"Mr, Bryan, if elected, could, by the
exercise of considerable 'perverse ingen-
uity, put the government on silver
basis, ruin its credit and bring incalcul-
able disaster upon the business interests
OF the country.

What the Prisoner Said.

A celebrated judge was once trying u
case where the accused could only un-
derstand Irish, aud an Interpreter was
accordingly sworn. The prisoner said
something to the interpreter, aud the
latter replied.
"What does he say?' demanded the
judge.
"Nothing. my lord.'
"How dare you say that when we all
heard him? Come, sir, what was it?'
"My lord, said the interpreter, be-
ginning to tremble, ''it had nothing to
do with the case"
eff you don't answer, I'll commit
you, sir. Vow. what did he say?"
"Well, my lord, you'll excuse me,
but lie said, who's that ould woman

AT which every body present roared.
"And what did you say?" said the
judge, looking little uncomfortable.

French Character.

An lneAluemt Wh1ch lllu8tSateO f00
French Character.
Speaking Of French politics, 1 heard
most extraordinary story Of another
strange secret Of contemporary life.
Some years ago one might see in res.
taurant at night, playing dominos
quietly or conversing in tranquil tones,
ogentleman named Levy. He was
man who knew more of the secret his
tory Of tho courts Of Europe than any
man Of his time. To get full account
Of his personality and history you must
spend an evening with Joe Lyons, the
owner Of the Trocadero and score Of
other restaurants, one of the most brill
liant raconteurs as we'll as one of the
best fellows in all London. Mr.. Levy
was private detective, employed when
ever task of extreme delicacy and
enormous Importance was on hand. He
was retained by the Bank of England,
among other institutions, and I have
heard that his services were esteemed
so valuable that he got the magnificent
salary of el0,0 year from that ill.,
stitution.
Well, just after the downfall of ths
commune Mr.. Levy was intrusted with
one of the most delicate and, I Nigh.
say, terrible missions in his life. There
=. were several communist refugees in
London. Levy tracked them out. A
man of the world, without enthusias1ns
acquainted with all the seamy side 1T
life and of man, he yet had broad,
sympathetic imagination, and he was
astounded by the picture he found III
the miserable den-if 1 remember right
lJ it was stable-in which he discov.
cred the objects of his search. These
mon, who but few weeks before had
the government and the revenues of the
great city of Paris at their command,
were engaged i'll making a wretched
bowl of soup, which was to be the one
meal-and the one meal of them all
for "a hours. Not one penny had stuck
to their palms of all the millions that
were at their riercy "These men may
be madmen," he said to friend to
whom he told the story, "but, accord
ing to their lights, they are patriots!'
His wonder grew as they refused
scornfnlly to surrender some papers
which had fallen into their possession,
in spite of dazzling offers of gold,
which. as agent of the French govern.
ment, no was authorized to offer them
They knew the horror and the terrible
and app: ling Importance of the domes-
tic seer! il. the life of great uan Of
which they held proofs. but they decid-
ed to keep the proofs until they Thought
it right or wrong to publish the story
to the world. And. though they refused
the gold, they never told the secret, and
France and Europe were saved one of
the most cruel and devastating scandals
of our times.-New York Herald.

FLOODS COME EARLY.
Terrific Rainstorm sunday swells Fall
River Over Its Isanks-Court House
Bridge Gone.

1t rained Easter Sunday and has not
failed to rain every Sunday since.
Last Sunday afternoon about two
O'Clock it began raining, very moderate
ly at first, but within few minutes it
increased to torrents, combined with
some hail. For about an hour it con-
tinued to pour down with ever increas.
ing force. Mingled with the downpour
of rain were frequent flashes of
lightning and peals of thunder, the
air being alive with electricity Before
the storm had subsidized the ravines
from the mountain sides were filed
with rushing waters and Fall River
had become a raging torrent, overflow
ing its banks in many places,
particularly on Catholicon flat. Long
after the storm had subsidized the creek
ragged and tore.
The damage of greatest Importance
that resulted was the taking out of the
bridge near court house and the flume
of the Water, Light and Power Co.
which crosses the creek at the same
place. The bridge is quite loss to
the city, but the timber was mostly
lodged againat the Elkhorn railroad
bridge and has already been removed
and hauled back to be placed in the
bridge when rebuilt. A temporary
wagon bridge has been built. The
Water, Light and Power Co. at once
put a force of men at work to repair
the fiume, as it stopped the pumping
power for the city water supply and
the arc lights. 1t was Wednesday
noon before the flume was repaired
and the water turned on.
The foot bridge across from the
Union depot was also taken out, and
the Elkhorn railroad bridge slightly
moved by the lodging of the wagon
bridge against it. Other small bridges
were taken out up Hot Brook and
below the city, and some damage done
to irrigating bitches.
0It is the severest flood that has oc-
cured so early since Hot Springs has
existed. The country received a
pretty thoroght soaking, however, so
that great good resulted along with
the damage.

Did DR.. Johnsoa Eat Horse,

Dr. johnson in HE journal mentions
the interesting fact that he had on y
certain day had "palfrey for dinner"
Now these three words have caused not
a little trouble to the critics, and for
this reason, that they know not what
palfrey really is. 1t has been suggested
that palfrey is clerical error made by
the doctor himself for pastry, but the
doctor wrote SO legibly, and there is SO
much difference between the words pal
frey and pastry that this position is not
at all tenable.
Palfrey is defined in Johnson's cele.
brated dictionary as "a small horse fit
for ladies'" and some have thought that
the doctor (whose feats as trancher-
man were notorious) may have broken
a record on the day in question and dis
posed Of a small horse. All these and
other conjectures are wrong, and we
will proceed to give the correct expiana-
ton.
The word palfrey (sometimes pamfrey
by the interchange Of and m) is still in
use among the 1ustics of Scotland and
the north of Ireland, and means young
cabbages when they first come to table
in the spring. Such cabbages have not
begun to "olose" or become solid in the
center. They are generally spoken Of as
"early pamfrey" and are considered a
luxury. DIR. johnson probably picked up
the word from his friend Boswell OF
from some other Scotch acquaintanoe.-

Today nearly all of the visitors will
take the Burlington train for trip
over the "Scenic Line' through the
heart of the Fills to Spea IRISH, which
is really a magnificent trip-scenery
surprising the gorgeousness of the
famous Rockies of Colorado. They
expect to mostly return Saturday

will remain here several days.
The STAR is under obligations to G..
w. Baldwin, of Aberdeen, who is editor
of the Workman and is also city editor
of the Aberdeen News, for courtesies
extended.
The work of the order has progress.

thru the resignation of A. G. Smith,
who was elected Grand Master Work
man at the session of the grand lodge
year ago. but left the state for
Central America, where he is employed
by a large mining company.
Hot Springs has greatly enjoyed the
visit of Workman and Degree of Honor
