could have been pardoned out after

THE Silver Blade Stops to the
level of a common BLACKBOARD in
its referen re to the HERALD last
week. Since the lamentable assas-
sination of Judge Brady we have
always expressed our horror at the
crime and paid every respect to the
dead. And when the Blade char
ges that anything we have ever pub
lished since Judge Brady's death
was an attempt at self glorifcation,
or in any other way disrespectful
to his memory, it charges that
which is villainously false. To at
tempt to misrepresent us in such a
matter exhibits the Blade in an
assininity of character that is pitt
able in the extreme. While not
intending to pursue this subject to
any length, we will here remark
parenthetically, that it is our sin
cere belief that if the late Judge
Brady could be recalled from the
grave to get his views on certain
subjects it would be to find that he
had only respect for those who
were his political opponents, in
Guiding the HERALD, and nothing
but loathing and contempt for those
who fawned around his bedside,
promising Co carry out his dying
wishes, and who have since been
disloyal to every trust accepted

The Silver Blade, organ of the
hyphenated political trust in this
county, says that the efforts of Re
publican newspapers TO arouse pub
lie sentiment against Governor
Hunt on account of his pardon of
Paul Corcoran has fallen fiat. 1t
is evident that there are a number
of democratic newspapers in this
state that do not reach the exchange
table of our enthusiastically inclined
contemporary, to wit: The Black
foot News, the Montpelier Examin-
er, the Caldwell News, the Albion
Times, the Lewiston Tribune, the
Oakley Eagle, and perhaps others.
The Republican press has been
ably assisted by many good, old
fashioned democrats and demo-
cratic newspapers in holding up to
public gaze this Infamous pardon.
Time will tell whether public SEN
timent approves this infamous act
or not.

FROM ali over the country comes
reports of bumper crops which are
being marketed at fair to good
prices. The greatest trouble that
the country now experiences is to
secure sufficient labor to carry on
the industrial enterprises in oper-
ation. Never. perhaps, in the his
t,rv of the country was labor in
snch demand or 50 vel paid for its
services

a WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sum-"

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in
paste form. Their powders dry up
the mucuous membranes causing
them to cracl, open and bleed. The
powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away same
membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and
ointments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a
close study and speciality of the
treatment of CATARRH, has at last
perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures CA
TARRH, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing
all irham mation. IT is the only
remedy known to science that actu-
ally reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as
"SNUFFLEs the GuaranteedCATARAH
CURE" and is sold at the extremely
low price of One Dollar, each pack
age containing internal and exter-
nal medicine sufficient for a full
months treatment and everything
necessary to its perfect use.
"SNUFFLEs" is the only perfect
CATARRH CURE, ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure fnr that annoying and
disgusting disease. 1t cures all in

MEN In CONGRESS.
PROPORTION OF THE DIFFERENT
PURSUITS REPRESENTED.
Lawyers Have Lead-Business Men
Come Second, Followed by Farmers,
Bankers and Journalists, Politicians,
Physicians, School Teachers. Etc.

Washington correspondence:
1t takes all sorts of people to make
world, and it takes various kinds Of men
to make Congress of the United States.
AT least it is so in theory, though as
result of observation one would be in
clined to the belief that only one pursuit
is represented. When it is known that
of the next Congress 2S7 members are
lawyers, the prepOnderance of the legal
profession seems to account for the vol
luminous pages of the Congressional Rec
ord, wherein the speeches delivered or
prepared by Representatives are publish
ed. Somehow it seems that men VINO
have what is called in the vernacular
the Infinite gift of gab' make the great
est progress in public life, although the
era of influential speech-making passed
years ago. At any rate, lawyers have
pretty nearly a monopoly of the seats III
the House of Congress.
1t seems odd, however, that of all the
members of the House only eight are
willing to acknowledge themselves poll
ticians, or, in other words, wear their ap-
propriate title. There are, of course,
many politicians in Congress, but only
eight that will admit that they have no
other business-make politics profess
sion.
Next to the lawyers in numerical
strength come the business men. There

From Investigations among soldiers
and from the literature of the subject
there is no doubt in my own mind"
says Il recent medical writer, that if a
mans development is so unstable that
he has pSyChical Stigmata, he is in
yariably of bad physical development
also and has numerous physical stig
mata. AS far as l know, there are few,
If any, cases of abnormal minds in av
erage bodies devoid Of stigmata. 1t is
a fair inference, then, that if mans
body is nearly an average in all re-
spects, height, weight. proportions, etc,
there must also be an an average brain,
and, therefore, 4 normal mind-CXclud-
ing, of course, normal men who have
acquired insanity. Beyond this we
dare not go. for there Is absolutely no
relation between intelligence and stat
IRE. Men of genius may be big like
Bismarck or little like Napoleon or Da
Costa, and the same may be said of the
feeble minded as well as OF those of
average intelligence. George Washing

1t is true that the human brain
weight depends upon the body weight,
for many muscles require many brain
cells In like manner the sparrow needs
but a few grains of brain, while the
whale and elephant must have more

unreasonable variable called intelh-
gence depends upon other things in ad-

not and probably does not, have any
bearing upon intelligence.
