This marriage has ended In misery,
as might have been expected. The
young wife has brought suit for divorce
in London against her royal savage.
She makes astonishing allegations Of
cruelty and misconduct. Although
Lobengula was married in a frock coat
and silk hat he relapsed Immediately
into utter savagery, Dressed only In
a few feathers, he Toasted on raw meat

assegas at her and beat her with a

He is colonel of eleven regiments
apart from his Office as field marshal

he has reviewed in person, and since
his twenty-first year he has held 450
reviews, as against the kaisers 200

him command over 1900 men.
The kaiser is generally supposed to
have done more army work than any
other living monarch, but he is a bad
second to King Edward, holding COM
mand over seven regiments, three OF
them foreign, and the car ranks be-
hind both.
The king has also the record for
quick shooting, against all corners Of
any nation. at birds on the wing OF
running game. There are plenty who
have made bigger bags, for he does not
care for piling up the slain against
time, preferring TO shoot quietly and
kill his game In good style. But In
actual shooting he holds the record

neatly bringing down six cartridges
with six separate shots, out OF single

grown tired of biting and beating his

he cOntented himself with missing her

bad tempered he would run spear

crowned, he should not have worn the

George Villiers who was one Of the
spectators said that as the king took
his seat upon the throne of the house,
with the loose crown upon his head and
the tall gaunt figure of Lord Grey
close beside him. the sword of state in
his hand, II looked as If the king had

proach him, take a second gun from

pass overhead, and a third brace are

shooting, requiring absolute precision

four, and one or two five, birds In this
way, no one but the king can grass

THE Pocatello Advance makes a
motion that the democratic papers
of the state take steps to get closer
together for their own good and the
advancement of party interests.
We second the motion. The idea
is good and there seems to be no
reason why the democratic papers
should be engaged in family
quarrel, The policy of lighting the
party leaders, or men who have been
placed in high Office, is equally in
excusable and injurious, While
we do not believe that simply be-
cause a high official belongs to the
party with which we affiliate Il
should shield him from Just criti-
ciSm, faCtionai fights, and the vent
Ing OF personal spites should cease.
As the Advance says, we should
get together. There is party 10y
atty and party slavery. To be 10y
al to party is to support its ticket
for the principles it represents, pro-
.vldeu that the party does not put
up Objectionable or disreputable
candidates, and when it does party
LOYALTY and party interest demand
their exposure and defeat BY the
aid of the newspapers. Party
slavery is blindly supporting any
disreputabIe or dishonest candidate
simply because he in ON the ticket.
The newspapers ought to get to-
gether on the platform OF party 10y
atty and it would have a tendency
to clear the political atmosphere, by
making the party prudent and cau-
ltious in the selection of its candi-
dates. Let US get together on right
principles.

THE governors Of the northwest
ern states have concluded their con-
ference at Helena and unanimously
agreed upon plan for fighting the
Northern Securities company. The
fight will not be waged in a spirit
Of hostility or for the injury OF rail
way interests, but Justly in the in
terest of the people The consoli-
dation of the leading railways of
the northwest means the removal
of all competition and the building
up of railway power that will
hold the political. social and bust
ness destiueS Of this vast northwest
empire firmly within its grasp. Il
IS most dangerous 10 our future
welfare and if It IS within the power
OF the law TO check the evil il is
clearly the duty Of the officers to
bring the law into speedy and ef-
fective operation. Governor Hunt
took advanced ground 1t the. con
ference by introducing 4 resolution
fayoriug government ownership Of
the trauscOntiueutal railways, but
some Of the other governors Oh
JeCted and the matter was dropped.
Yet the governor is right and the
people are with him on the PROPOSE
ton Government ownership IS
the correct solution Of the problem.
