DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEET
ING.
Special to the Inter Mountain.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Helena, August 19.-The state demo-
cratic committee met here on Saturday
might for the purpose of appointing COM
mittees to arrange for the holding of the
next state convention. Both wings were
represented. c. W. Clark of Butte was
present with a proxy from Beaverhead
and seemed to be the leading spirit of
the meeting. 1t was on his motion that
T. E. Collins, Who claimed to have a
proxy from Meagher county, was left
out in the cold, though he was ably sup
ported by J.. r. Toole. Powell Black
was seated. There was no other friction,
the dominant wing had it's WI way
under Mr.. Clark's leadership. The dose
was a bitter one but Toole took it as
though it We're ice cream soda. The most
amusing incident was when Chairman
John NeiH, looking very severe, thun-
dered this question at C. S. Hartman
of Gallatin:
"Are you a democrat, Mr.. Hartmann"
asked the chairman.
For four years / have affiliated with
the democrats" said Hartman, land at
the national convention l announced
that l was a democrat. I will answer
your question by saying that I am a dem
ocrat."
you understand, Mr.. Hartman" said
the chairman, that I asked you the
question simply as the chairman Of this
| committee, and that I meant no ~offense."
Eyes. sir. I understand" said Mr..
| Hartman, land I do not take any Of
fense."
There was a suppressed laugh on the
| part of Mr.. Neill's friends and the meet
ing soon after adjourned for refresh
ments.

Mast, ConkIing and Curtis.

It is to be suspected that some of Tom Nast's wittiest work with his marvellous pencil was printed, not published'-was intended simply to gratify his friends-and never met the eyes of the general public. Not long ago, in looking over the album of lady who for years was q social leader at Washington, l came across q con tribution of Nast's which was as ef fective in its way as any of the car toons which have made his name fa. nous.
 He wanted to impress upon the lady that Washington life had been too much for him and did so by drawing a capital full length picture of himself as he appeared walking along the ave nue. What gave the picture point and rendered it irresistible was the fact that the back of his head was where his face ought to be-ln other words, Washington had turned his head.
 I suppose the politicians still recall. Roscoe Conkling's famous allusion to the great cartoonist in his Rochester speech "dedicated' to George William Curtis. Mir Curtis at the time was the editor of Harper's Weekly, a position which he had held for many years. In the course of his philippic Mir. Conkling took occasion 10 refer to The Weekly. and, although MT. Curtis sat listening to him, he described it simply as the paper made famous by the pencil of Mast. New York Mail and Express.

Tragedies of the Grand Canyon.

Tragic stories are told of men who have lost their lives in the search for precious metals which may lie hidden or uncovered. says Harriet Monroe in The Atlantic. The great primeval food cut its broad V through all the strata of rock. with all their veins of metallic ore, down 10 the earliest shapeless mass, leaving in its wake the terraced temples and towers which seem to have been planned by some architect of divinest genius to guard their inaccessible treasures till the end of time. And the river. rising far to the north among mountains rich in mineral. has been washing for ages the sands away and depositing thus gold and silver and lead in the still crevices of the inaccessible chasm.
 Here the earth laughs at her human master and bids him find her wealth if he dare and bear it away if he can. young Californian who accepted the challenge and set forth upon the turgid water to sift its sands for gold never emerged with his hapless men to tell the story of his search. Only near the brink of the cleft are a few miners burrowing for copper and sending their ore up to the rim on the backs of hardy burros, as who should prick the noun. tain with pin or measure the ocean with cup.

as ministers of tne gospei, uut ,nGs.e are kinds of hcnediction that you may all pronounce without especial permis- sion from preSbytery or conference or convention. You have right to spread abroad both right hand and left hand in bestowing a blessing of kindness and good will upon all you meet. With both hands bless the children. Take them in your arms and kiss their fair cheek. Take with them a round of merriment in the room before you the arms of that Christ, to go to whom in olden time they struggled to get out of the arms of their mothers. God bless the cradles and high chairs and nurseries all round the world.
 Extend your hands in benediction for the aged. Take their counsel and ask their prayers and smooth the path down the declivities. By neglect and unfilial demeanor add no wrinkles to their brow, no more stoop to their shoulders. They have their hand on the latch of the door through which they will soon go out of sight of your homes and churches. May the mantles of the Elijahs fall upon the Elishas, Spread your hand for the benediction upon all the men and women in the tug of life, many of them tired and buffeted and disheartened. Never go out of store or shop or office or field without pronouncing a benediction.
 And what better use can I make of my hands. which are the chief execu- tive officer of my soul. than now to spread them abroad in the apostolic benediction which has been pronounced for centuries and over hundreds of thousands of assemblages, at corona tions and obsequles. at harvest homes and on fast days, by all the ministers of the gospel in the past as 1t will be by all the ministers of the gospel until the church militant reaches up it's right hand to take the right hand of the church triumphant-a benediction which. when it has full sway, will leave nothing for our world to want or heaven to bestow: May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. and the love of God. and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with xnu all foravar Amen-"

A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
 Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer. but to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure 1t so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it.
 MT. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm street, Amesbury, Mass, says: "AIrs. Smith, from cold which settled in her loins, suffered SO severely from backache that she was unable to attend to the or- dinary household duties, often finding it impossible to even make bed for three months. had read great many state ments of residents of Amesbury who pos itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured them of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint. This led me to make some inquiries, and as re- suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course of the treatment. It cured her. It is so long ago that am confident the results are permanent. We never lose an oppor- tunity of advising others who suffer from either weakened or over-excited kidneys to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we know of scores in and around Amesbury who have taken our advice and were not only surprised but grati6ed at the bene- fits received"

The Triumphant Hand.


 In two discourses, one concerning the ear and the other concerning the eye, i spoke from the potent text in the Psalms, He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?" and He that formed the eye, shall he not see?' but what use in the eye and what use in the ear if the hand had not been strung with all it's nerves and nAoved with all its muscles and reticulated with all Its joints and strengthened with all it's bones and contriyed with all it's ingenuities, The hand hath forwarded all the arts and tunneled the mountains through which the rail train thunders and launched all the shipping and fought all the bat ties and built all the temples and swung all the cables under the sea as we'll as lifted to midair the wire tracks on which whole trains of thought rush across the continents and built all the cities and hoisted the pyramids.
 Do not eulogiZe the eye and ear at the expense of the hand, for the eye may be plotted out, as in the case of Milton, and yet his hand writes a Paradise Lost" or a Samson Ago
 
 Prescott, and yet his hand may write the enchanting Conquest of Peru Or the ear may be silenced forever, as In the case of Beethoven, and yet his hand may put into immortal cadences the Ninth Symphony" Oh, the hand! The God fashioned handl The trium- phant hand. It Is an open Bible of di- vine revelation, and the five fingers are the Isaiah and the Ezekiel and the David and the Micah and the Paul of that almighty inspiration.
 A pastor in his sermon told how a lit tie child appreciated the value of his hand when he was told that on the morrow it must be amputated In order to save his life. Hearing that, he went to a quiet place and prayed that God would spare his hand. The surgeon, com ing the next day to do his work, found the hand so much better that amputa- ton was postponed, and the hand got

The examination Of candidates fer tn /,
office Of mine inspectors In the Third
and Fourth anthracite districts COM
mencss In the Union street school build
ing, Wilkosbarrs, Monday, June 25, at
10 o'clock. The board Of examiners
consists of A. c. Leisanrlng, mining
engineer; w. A. Lathrope, mining sngi-
neer; George Menseley, inside superin-
tendsnt At Sandy Run; John Gilhooley
and Edward Fl. Williams, whose sccu-
pations are unknown to the writer.
This board is not constituted accord
ing to law. Some person or persons
have imposed on the court when the
appointments were made, as tho follow
ing extract from the law governing the
case clearly shows:
Article III. Section ". The said board
OF examiners shall be composed Of three
reputable coal miners in actual practice
and two reputable mining engineers,
Gil OF whom shall be appointed at the
first term Of court In each year, to hold
their places during the year.
This is the law and the fact that
George Meneeley, who has been a mine
foreman for M. S. Kemmeror & Co. at
Sandy Run for the past twelve years,
and who now occupies the position of
general mine manager at that place, has
been palmed off on the court as "mner
In actual practice" affords ample proof
that the court has been imposed upon
in making the appointments and that
there is a sinister motive back Of it all
that is not very creditable to the parties
concerned
Meneeley Is not miner, and his
appointment is direct violation of the
intent and spirit Of the law and renders
the coming examination and decision OF
the board as at present constituted
an Illegal farce.
