There to wave in storm and sunlight.-tbere

ON the wide walls of the ocean were the firm
foundations laid,
Strong to bI east the surging pillows wbenn
the tempest ragged at sea-;
And living flame blazed ever on my sacred
altar stone.
Sheltered by the lowering opinions OF the
Angels OF the Free.
My banner caught the glory OF the overarcb.
ing skies;
The steadfast blue Of heaven and the luster
OF the stars
1t took the snowy Wilderness OF the cloude
that dim the sun,
And the deep, mysterious splendor of the
sunsets crimson bars.
From my watchtower, gazing eastward. I
have seen a million sail
Sweep up from the horizon line with all
their canvas SPREAD
And lighted by the living flame that flashed
across the sea,
Make bravely for the port where Law and
Liberty were wed
From my watchtower, looking westward, /
have seen the march of men
over hill and glen and mountain and
through forests gray and dim.

them cross the plains,

Above the camp, the garrison, the bivouac

Where for my sake the clash OF arms and

It's ample folds,

last exultant word.
Did weep for them, Aye, proudly; for they
did not die in vain,
And their glorious souls assembled to Va

While my eyes beheld the vision of the Ages

And foresaw the mighty harvest which the

Though the craven and mistaken fear tba

ALEssoN IN PATRIOTISM"
1t would be unjust and even absurd to
criticise those crowds of worthy British
''patriots" who besieged and tried to
break up meeting held in London on
Wednesday night to enable those of their
fellow-ctizens who disapprove of the
Boer war to express their opinions.
Theirs was a demonstration in strict
accord with the most widely accepted
idea of the meaning of patriotism.
A "patriot" is not ore who inteli-
gently reasons about his country, studies
impartially the acts of its weak, human
agents, its governors, and tries to aid its
progress in true greatness along rational
lines. To think that such a man is a
patriot would be as prepos ferrous as to
think that good party man is man
who likes to see and tries to keep his
party good. No; "patriot" must not
think. He is never so patriotic as
when he is Just bowling; and when he is
breaking the head of some one who
speaks out against an injustice perpe
trated in his country's name by highly
placed stupidity or corruption, then he
rises to the sublimtst heights of self
sacrifice.
1t is a little difficult for us to be true
''patriots" in this country. We have an
unfortunate habit of thinking, and we
are disposed to grin or to frown when
one of our public servants says 1.-THE
country" does this or that and really
means that he himself is abusing his
position and temporary powers to do it.
STILL we have spasms of "patrotism.
And when we ale in them we conduct
ourselves almost as 'patriotically" as
did those Brtishers who so grandly
'rebuked' the scoundrels trying to pro-
test against a glorious war which is Civ
ing the British people such superb OPP
portunities to get rid of their surplus
wealth and population, with 70 return

Judge Brady Is Dead.

Hon. !. {. Brady, probate judge OF
kootenai county, died at Sacred Heart
Hospital, Spokane yesterday morning.
On 1ulv 5th German named Wilbusse,
who had been committed TO BlackfoOt,
and released, called al the Office of the
Judge, and after short interview drew
IA revolver and shot him. Since
that time the Judge has made a heroic
struggle for his life. The deceased had
a host of friends in the state, won by a
pure life and good deeds.
The murderer was captured by Officer
McDermou of the Spokane police force
a few days later after e severe struggle in
a crowded business street. The prisoner
had on his person two So calibre revolvers,
one of which was drawn on the officer at
the time of arrest, but was secured before
il could be used.
Judge Brady left two little children.
He expressed desire to have the little
ones placed in Charge of the Catholic
orphanage at Spokane to be educated
and cared tor. Hearing this an uncle of
the children spirited them away and was
captured at Standpoint and taken back to
Rathdrum. 1t is said this was to prevent
| the children being brought up in the
Catholic faith.

Good Report.

Encouraging reports of trade and i'm
provement come from Lewiston. The
jobbing trade is in good hands and is
rapidly growing; retail trade was never
SO good as at present, and postal receipts
have swollen to an amount emitting the
city to free delivery system. Business
men with the assistance of Charleston and
Asotin, have organized stock company
of ample capital and will build steamer
to run on the upper Snake river between
Lewiston and pi,tsburg Landing. Lew
iston is favorably located at the con-
fluence OF the Clearwater river with the
Snake, and should make better use OF
these great natural highways in the fu-
ture than she has in the past. Better
transportation facilities always means
better market for the producer. and more
profit for the nierchant.-New West

Shining Marks.

Whenever there is anything par
ticularly bright happens in the sacred
domain of woman the press of the state
always attach "a Lewiston girl' to the
article. This is good. Either there are
no bright young ladies in the state out

prosecuting the gentler sex in their re-
spective localities. Anyway Lewiston
girls are up to date creatures, and no bet
ter can be found this side of the New

Lewiston boys. When Lewiston young
lady goes abroad on a tour of conquest
she returns laden with laurels of victory.

STATES PRISON FOR LIFE.
Worse Fate than Hanging for DiamondiieIt
Jack Davis.

The state board of pardons, at l:25
O'Clock Monday afternoon. unanimously
decided to commute the sentence of
"Diamondfield Jack" Davis to imprison-
ment for life.
Davis was sentenced to hang on the
18TH, for the murder of two sheep men.
John c. Wilson and Daniel G. Cummings.
The crime was committed on February 4,
1896, III Cassia county. The case has
been before all the tribunals in regular
order, from the district court in Cassia
county to the supreme court of the
United States.
Davis was convicted in April, 1897, and
Sc ntenced to be hanged. In 1898, when
tine case was before the board of pardons,
]. T.. Bower and Jeff Gray confessed to
having committed the crime, saying it
was in self defense. Upon the theory
that they were telling the truth, Davis
attorneys have struggled hard for the
pardon Of their client. Gray was tried
for the crime and acquitted.
Members of the board of pardons stated
that, as there was doubt in their minds
as to whether the crime was committed
by Davis, they could do nothing less
than commute the sentence, as stated.
The decision was unanimous.
Travelling Guards J. +. Donnelly and
c. Meacham left for Cassia county to
secure Davis and bring him to the
penitentiary.- Statesman.

WH.KESBARRE, Pa, July I6 - The
stationary fireman was promptly obeyed
this morning, when 600 members of the
organization in this section OF the state
refused to go to work. Most of the
strikers are employed as firemen at the
coal mines and their failure to report to
duty caused nearly all the coal collieries
in the north anthracite coal regions to
suspend operations. \
Reports were received from all the dis
tricts, and they showed that the strike
froul Pittson to Shickshinney in this
(Luzerne) county was general and that
the coal companies were unable to secure
new men to take places of the strikers.
The best they could do, it was said, was
to press foremen and fire bosses into the
service This was done at great many
of the mines. The strikers claim that
the engineers are friendly to them and
they will not work with nonunion men.
| The duration of the strike will depend
upon the miners. If they stand by the
striking firemen the lockout may be
long one.

miners had big demonstration today.

There are but few people who give
much thought to the vast area contained
within the Idaho state line. It is an
empire within itself. The Philippine
islands have an area of II4,326 square

Idaho has S4,2oo square miles and
population of only about Sc, 900 accord
