that their triumph would mean misery

WHAT HISTORIANS SAY OF JEFFER-
SONS ADMINISTRATIONS.

sON'S ADMINISTRATION.
And what followed all this hysteria
and malice. invocation of dread spec
tres and prediction of the mob? What
was the sequel? AN administration. "
as SchOuler Justly describes 1t, peace
ful, progressive and popular beyond all
precedent" - especially strong and
successful Just where the direst disas-
ter had been foreboded, in the man
try. "Thc policy OF this remarkable
administration" writes this admirer
Of Jefferson, was at once and steadily
successful In winning the people; and
the prestige OF enthusiasm became ir-
resistible when conjoined with the
prestige of success. An executive,
neither the instrument Of others nor
. betrayer Of trusts, we may regard
Jefferson as the genuine personator of
that to which Frances First Consul
presented contemporaneously the
counterfeit.-a leader of the common
people In the direction of their best
DESIRES"
This verdict is not simply that Of
Jefferson's admirers. The historians
are harmonious. Mr.. Morse, in his
volume on Jefferson, in the American
STATE 3meI series,-and neither the
series as whole, nor Mr.. Morse's vol
ume In particular, will ever be ac-
cused OF making admiration of Jeffer-
son Its forte-uses terms almost iden-
teal. Mr.. Schouler, in the passage
quoted, Is writing Of a time midway
in Jefferson's second administration,
Just before the troubles with England.
Mr.. Morse Is writing of the close of
mis- first administration, when the
campaign for his reelection ap-
preached. Everything, he says, "re-
bounded to his good fame and popular
dty." The nation felt Comfortable
and good natured amid the broad WISH
Die facts OF the passing time. :.
Were not expenses curtailed and taxes
reduced, and debts being rapidly di-
Had the country
been for many years past so free from
Irritation and anxiety growing out of
foreign Affairs? Had political
kindness ever before permeated the
nation as 1t did today? Four years of
prosperity and tranquility left little
room for discomfort with the govern
ment Amid such influences political
opposition pined and almost died"
The verdict of history on the adminis-
ration OF the latter day Jefferson,
William Jennings Bryan, who has been
more bitterly abused than even his pre.,
Will closely follow out the
parallel.

Northern Pacific Talk.

Under the little. Northern Pacific to
Build" the Pioneer Press published at
st. Paul, the Headquarters Of the North
ern Pacific company, has an important
article bearing on the present big rail
road fight, and which contains encour-
aging information to the people OF the
Clearwater valley. The article says
"The Northern Pacific is preparing to
build in Idaho and Montana. Con-
struction was suspended in September
10y truce between that road and the
Oregon Navigation, but tits announced
that whether or not the truce between
these roads results in amicable settle
ment, the Northern Pacific will carry
out its original plans and build lines
which will become important feeders to
its main line i'll Idaho. From inside
sources it ia understood that construc-
ton will commence on February 9Th, the
day the truce expires between the
Northern Pacific and the Oregon Navi-
cation. The prize for which the rams
continental lines are striving is the
Oriental trade, and the Northern Pa
cific is endeavoriug to overcome the
handicap of the Great Northern's ALI
ance with the Oregon Navigation and
the Japan Steamship company, by
shortening its line and reducing it's
grades. 1t plans to build cutoff, leav-
ing the main line at Missoula, through
the Bitter Root mountains by the way
OF the Lo Lo pass, down the middle fork
of the Clearwater to the main stream.
This would save $50 miles and reduce
the grade to a considerable extent. By
building down the Snake and Columbia
rivers to Portland another 100 miles
would be saved. The new Clearwater
branch extends up to that river from
the mouth of the Potlatch, sixty-three
miles being under construction, of which
thirty miles is now being operated.
The remaining thirty-thrse miles will
be completed by January l5."

SOME time since an appointment was

Annapolis, from this state, a young man
from Tacoma being the favored one,
Fred Whitaker, Of Palouse, and stu
dent OF the agricultural college, being
named Us alternate. Mr.. Wickersham,
the young man who received the ap-
pointment, passed the examination and
WAS admitted to the academy, but it 10
now announced that he has resigned
and Mr. Whitaker asks that he be Civ
en- the place. We think that Mr.. Whit
takers contention is right, and that he
has first right for the appointment, and
1t Ia to be hoped that he will be given an
opportunity to make Dewey out of
himself, Mr.. Whitaker is deserving
young man, and Congressman Cushman,
who has this matter in charge, could not
make better appointment.

Pandora, so runs the myth, let all the
ills of life out of her box to prey upon
mankind, but shut the cover soon enough
to prevent the escape of hope. Hope
remains to every sufferer but it is only
an ignis-fatuus unless it takes on some
tangible form. The hope of recovery is
treasured by every one who suffers from
weak or bleeding lungs, obstinate and
lingering cough, bronchitis or similar
ailments, which, if neglected, or unsllil-
fully treated lead on to consumption.
That hope becomes a practical and tam
gible thing when it is based on the use
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. Such hope is reasonable because
thousands of men and women emaciated
and weakened by disease have been made
sound and well by the use of Golden
Medical Discovery"

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY HOPELESS.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 2,.-If the
epirit shown by che great andiene in the
national republican convention today is
any indication direct or indirect of the
attitude OF the m .sses OF the party tow
ards President Mckinley and the plat
form on which ne must stand in the ap-
preaching struggle for control OF our
government, the case of the republican
par y this year is hopeless. The lack OF
enthusiasm was abs )lutely startling. l
have never seen anything like it before
in the national convention OF any party.
Again and again President Mekinle, =
name was spoken in the convention to-
day, and although he will be nominated
for president within few hours, his
personality failed to excite any interest
or emotion. Nothing like this has been
known before in American politics. Mr..
Hanna is the dictator of the party, and
he has made Mr.. McKinley's renomina-
I'll n by acclamation a certainty. He
has assembled and organized the whole
power of the trusts and other protected
interests as we'll as national banks be-
hind Mckinley. No other republican
has dared this yesf to aspire to the pres
idsncy. But in constructing this ire
sistible mechanism by which the party
ones led by Lincoln has become the
creature OF mans will Mr.. Hanna has
extinguished the immortal spark that
gave the repu blican party it's force
Here in this structure where 10000
selected rspu blicaus meet today to hear
the republican, national platform read,
Governor Roosevelt was hundred times
moss Important in every way than Mr.
Mckinley. The multitude that refused
stolidly to give . single sign of passion
ate OF evsn enthusiastic attachment to
the war president, rose to its feet and
sho ous en hosssnas when ex-senator
Quay addressed the convention Quay

who was turosd away from the senate

convention. The governors every move
ment made the audience stir. He was
the hero, the charmed one.
The governor has disappointed his
best friends. He has solemnly vowed in
private that he would not be a candi-
date; that he would refuse the vice pres
idency; that he regarded the movement
gotten up by Mr.. Platt and the New
York corporations to end his career in
New York politics.
But in the convention today he plainly
courted support. The hypocracy Of his
position became more evident as the
hours passed.
The members OF the New York delega-
ton went about the convention hall
from delegation to delegation begging
votes for him.
The governor knew all this. 1t was
in his power at any moment to have
stopped the work. But to those who
came to him be said with an air OF hum
ility that he was afraid that he could
not resist the honest sentiment Of the
west
Mr.. Hanna satsona the great piat form
and watched the move mont to nominate
Governor Roosevelt grow and spread
from state to state.
He saw the governor heroized and glo-
rified as patriot whose nomination was
necessary to save Mr.. Mckinley from de-
feat aud he sAw the governor flirting
with the convention.

anger He could take 30 step 70 put

GONE. LEAVING MouRNERs
Dr.. Braxten The Fake Hypnotist
Leaves Between two Suns
He Leaves numerous Debts.

Between two suns, whether in the
some hour OF the early morning, the IA
nous DIR. s. K Braxten who has been
amusing the people and Attempting to
instruct them in the mysterious art of
hypnotism for the past two weeks, skip
ped to pastures new. The mere lsAvi0g
OF che doctor man would hardly be
matter worth recording we're it not for
the remem brauces he left behind him,
The proprietors OF the Revere house
are mourning board bill which ap
board OF four OF the doctors assistants.
A bill for lumber and several other
minor bills around town, among them
being small bill to an express company
are some few OF the things which he has
left people in Grand junction to remem-
ber him by.
Braxten, the self styled doctor was a
rather unsophisticated looking Eph, but
he has proven that he knows a trick or
two which totally bellies his assumed iu-
to the proprietors OF the Revere house
about paying them, but he managed to
evade paying uutil he skipped.
His assistants are stranded in the city
and one OF the members OF the company
is playing iu pretty hard lines, as hs is
accompanied by his wife VII is in del
icate condition with no where to 60 and
with no money by which he can send his
wife to relatives and friends at Salt
Lake city. The young man whose name
is G. w. Penrose feels his position
greatly and is making desperate efforts
to secure fuods to transport himself and
wife back to their home.
The names OF the other members OF
the company are Prof. o. Lopez aod d.
Hunter OF Omaha.
Penrose states that Braxten the head
OF the hypnotic combination had some
money evidently when he left here. He
took all the funds raised from their en-
The daily sentinel., 1900-06-22

tertainments aud paid nothing. D.
Hunter, tho young fellow who did the
sleep act in the Bannister show vindow
charges Braxten with taking one of his
suits OF clothes with him in his depart
ure this morning.
The amusing part Of the whole matter
is that this rank fakir Braxten had Sc
cured nine scholars in this town to learn
hypnotism. He was charging ten dol
lars for term in hypnotism and doubt
less obtained some portion OF their TUT
ion in advance. Besides the scholars in
hypnotism he had treated several ladies
by magnetic healing and WAS receiving
a considerable number OF applications
every day for tssataasnt by woensn.
How such rank fakir cpuld SO ban-
boozls people ~ to secuse from then
their b ard earned money is an enignts,
yet is should not be, as this city has y;
ways been charged with having mas
than its normal amount Of sa0lprs.
In speaking 70 the fsmaihdsf OF The
company, whom Braxtsn left to hold tAs
bae, nothing could b learned by The
Sentinel man OF the antecedents Of Df.
Braxten. From whence he came none
seemed to know. He gave the impress
ion to some OF his associa tes that in
time past he had been preacher or an
exhorter Of some kind.
This is not the first man who has
worked games in this town. Almost
anybody with fake scheme can come
here and get hearing. Take the DR..
Tilney case. He claimed almost divine
power to heal and there were people OF
more than the average intelligence in
this city, who accepted all he said as
gospel truth. The time will hardly
ever come, when the public will be safe
from such fakirs but they certainly have
had sufficient warning and have been
bitten right hard in times past.
