THE HAPPY MEAN.

The Washington Times summarizes it's
deduction from the Cleveland Bailey in
cident in this way: MI Bailey wrote
a story saying that Mr.. Cleveland was
not a candidate for the Presidency: Mr..
Cleveland makes denial. and declares
the statements attributed to him and
upon which the story is based are gross
" Inaccurate Therefore it must be in
ferred that Mr. Cleveland wishes to be
considered as candidate for the Pres
Idency. There is no other way of looking
at IL. unless it be that the ex-President
Is playing a practical joke upon the cor
respondent"
There is nothing unwarranted or IN
reasonable in the assumption that Mr.
Cleveland is willing to lead his party in
a Presidential contest, but there is, at
present. little or no evidence of an in
cIination in his party to call him to the
leadership. What the events of the
coming year may be pregnant with no
one can say. but thereis at this time
what appears 10 be a widespread con-
vietion among Democrats that Mr.
Cleveland and Mr.. Bryan represent the
extremes of Democratic antagonism. and
that the happy mean of union and con-
cord can best be reached over a way
that lies halfway between the two

BOISE MINT ASSAYER
LATE MORMON BISHOP
Appointment May Provoke Repub-

resignation OF John ". Cunningham.

was a Mormon bishop and when it be-
came known his appointment to succeed
Cunningham was likely, factional
quarrel was precipitated in the Repub-
lican party in Idaho. II is charged by
the enemies Of Wooley that he resigned
his bishopric. knowing he was TO be
given a Federal Office The Borah fac
ton in the Republican party in Idaho
charges the appointment of wooIey las
come about in return for Mormon votes
which Senator W. B. Hepburn received
in the Legislature last winter.
What makes the situation the more in
teresting is that Senator Fred T. Dubois,
the Democratic leader, has opened a
hghi against Mormonism and has an
nounCed his intention to unseat Senator
sNSfu oHiOOt. the hOi nun dpOsLle lTou
Utah. That contest, IL is said. will be
followed by an attempt to re-establish
the test oath against the Idaho Nor
mons. Dubois hopes to arouse public
feeling sufficiently in Idaho TO enable
him to return TO the Senate in 1907, and
in his support he hopes TO enlisS tbe
women voters and the evangelical clergy,
as we'll as the disaffected Borah faction
Of the Republican party.
Already protest has gone in to Presi-
dent Roosevelt against Wooley's APP
pointment The feeling is such that
the anti Mormon Republicans in soutn
Idaho are said to be likely to enlist the
services of Senator Dubois in preventing
the confirmation of Wooley.

lying limestone rock has given way
and left a rocky chasm about a dozen
feet deep. The break exposes an out
jutting ledge on one side, while on
the other is a steep slope of earth and
shattered stone, and close around
grow numerous bushes and trailing
vines and a few trees that cast a
pleasant shadow on the hollow. How
many times Lincoln's mother must
have toiled up the hill from this
spring with her water-bucket, and
how often the little boy must have
toddled down to this cool retreat and
dabbled in the flowing water! The
spot is a favorite resort for pleasure
parties for miles around. Indeed,
these parties constitute the bulk of
the visitors to the shrine; yet in spite
of it's comparative inaccessibility, an
occasional stranger from a distant

sweeten Life With Sentiment.

Commenting on Joseph's journey
to meet his father, when the old man
was coming down to Egypt in the
time of famine, DR.. Joseph Parker
said:
eyes, I do not care what our duties
are, we can add a little pathos to
them if we like; whatever be our lot
we can add a little sentiment to our
life. And what is life without senti-
ment? What are the flowers without
an occasional sprinkling of dew? 1t
may be a grand thing to sit on a high
stool and wait till the old man comes
upstairs. But it is an infinitely
grander thing, a lordlier chivaIry, to
come off the stool and go away to
meet him a mile or two on the road.
Your home will be a better home-I
do not care how poor the cot-if you
have a little sentiment in you, a lit
tie tenderness and nice feeling. These
are things that sweeten life. I do
not want a man to wait until there
is an earthquake in order that he
may call, and say, How do you dog
I do not want a man to do earth
quakes for me. Sometimes I want a
chair handed, and a door opened, and
a kind pressure of the hand, and a
gentle word. And as for the earth
quakes, why-wait until they comet"

Lincoln's Neglected Birthplace.

The little log cabin in which Abra-
ham Lincoln was born is no longer
upon the place. During the Nash
vile Exposition it was carried down
there, and since that time it has been
a regular feature at all the affairs of
this kind. It's latest journey was to
Buffalo in 1901, and I understand
that it is still there. The place where
it originally stood is a high, barren
hilltop, and the exact spot is now
marked by a rude fagpole. Thomas
Lincoln was undoubtedly determined
in building his cabin there by the
spring of delicious cold water that
pours through a cavern at the foot
of the hill. The spring is at the bot
tom of a sink-hole, where the under
