Napoleon, man of iron though he
was, gave great credence to the tales
of the supernatural and was very su-
perstitious. He placed great faith In
an amulet charm which he always car
ried about with him. Another Of his
superstitions was to hum the famous
air, Marlborough sen va-t-en guerre,"
whenever he mounted his charge for
battle. Strangely enough, at the hour
of his great conflict M. de Las Cases
tells us that the dying man hummedl
the old air. The Empress Josephine
shared her husbands belief In magic.
all the more because the predictions
made to her in her creole childhood
were fulfilled to the letter In q manner
calculated to impress even the most
hardened skeptic.

populous countries of antiquity have
become depopulated and apparently
unable to support life. 1t Is uncertain
whether at the present moment the
population of the globe is greater than
it was 1000 or 1900 years ago. There
is congestion ii Europe, In India ana
in China. There are innumerable tribes
In central Africa on whom even the
slave trade makes no perceptible Inn
preston.
But the vast plains Of Asia, which
swarmed with men under the Assyri-
an, Babylonian and Persian empires
are deserted. The civilization OF Eu-
rope Is no longer threatened by the
eastern hordes which swept over the
Roman empire in the earlier centuries
of the Christian era. But that prodi-
gious migration laid the foundation OF
the states of modern Europe. Edin-
burgh Review.

ments to be dissected and exploded. |
Some of these sensations, already |
demolished, they have claimed to
have been cognizant Of months ago.
No explanation was offered why they
were held back almost until election
dav, and not mentioned when the
alleged discoveries were first made.
1t is possible, and in fact probable,
that further operations on this line
will be carried on by our opponents
in more secret way, and at the last
moment, in order to avoid exposure
of their statements and possibility of
defense by the democrats before
election day
Therefore, all voters are urged to
beware of any circulars coming
through the mails at late day and
bearing statements derogatory tic
democrats, too late for contradiction,
and which they keep out of theil
papers and distribute secretly.
Beware of newspaper sensations
at the last moment; anything they
may bring out will be matters they
dared not give forth while there was
yet time for defense.
Beware of the campaign lie spread
in the late hours by word of mouth
through secret agents.
All such will be false, and, if done,
and in any OF the ways above
specified, it will be because the as
sertions will not withstand the ligh
: of day and the test of time.
: Isolated precincts throughout tn
y state may be made the dumpinl
: ground of campaign falsehood.
8 Beware of every story coming to-
4 late for notification.

These are only portion of the
splendid achievements of the demo-
cratic party in the part six years, but
they present sufficient reasons why
the voters of Idaho should support |
the democratic state ticket.
With the election a little more
than week off, what have tbd re-
publicaps offered to convince a |
reasonable man that he will profit by |
change of state administration? |
Only mess of filth worked up
solely by the inmates Of the penal
institution OF the state. Filth so
vile that their speakers in the coun--
try districts, away from telegraph
lines and daily mails, have forced
their women auditors to hang their
heads in shame while they listened
to it, or leave the hall in disgust.
This is true of Borah's speech at
Soldier and in several other. country
precincts and Borah thinks be is
biz enough to fill seat in the United
States senate. With renegade
politician in the state auditors office
friendly to them, they have failed
to find single item of expenditure
that Will not bear public scrutiny. 1t
is true they lave raised bubbles and
and juggled with figures, but not
single material discrepancy has been
found. Their newspaper organs has
howled about the penltentlary
management from financial stand
point, but when confronted with the
figures from the books of the inst
tuition, showing that Mr. Arney
spent less money during his term
than John Haley did, is as silent as
well behaved mummy ought to be.
They have even resorted to forgery
in attacking candidates like Hutchin-
son aud are sending out circulars in
which he is credited with sentiments
written by another.
On national issues, after DESERVING
time honored republican principles in
their state platform and declaring
| fer free trade and ANTITRUST legisla-
ton, one half of their speakers,
notably Hepburn and Beale, openly
