They Are Too Busy
fpoeatollO Trihllne.1


Hon. Frank r. Gooding, republican
candidate for governor of Idaho, comes
out square footed for railroad con-
Meeting. North and South Idaho. From
Council. the present terminus Of the P.
l. & N. railroad to Lewiston at the
junction of the Snake and Clearwater
rivers as the crow flies it is scarcely
over 100 miles and the route according
to competent engineers Is q first-class
one after passing the summit beyond
Meadows. 1t Is then watergrade
clear to Lewiston. At present it is nec-
essary to pass through several states
in order to arrive at any point of des-
tination from one end of the state to
the other.
Mr. Gooding has openly advocated
the construction Of such a road and
when the republican state administra-
ton is elected there will be no dim
Guilty in financing this project.
1t is presumable that others besides
republicans are also in favor of the
construction Of such road but up te
date have manifested no interest in ths
matter. The brilliant young republican

democrats in the st. Louis convention
who desired to keep out this old free
trade doctrine but they were overruled
hy the southern delegates. Judge Park
err has tried to apologize for this tariff
plank by saying that he and his party
can not destroy the Dingley law even
il he should be elected president and q
democratic house CHOSEN, for there
would still be republican senate to
act as a brake on democratic irrespon-
sibility and save the country from its
mistake at the polls.
Northern democrats who know the
value OF protection and the fateful
blight OF free trade. regret the folly Of
their southern leaders but they can not
help themselves except by doing as
they did in 1851 when they supported
the policy Of Lincoln and helped him
fight the war for the union; as they
did after the war when they refused to
endorse the democratic policy OF re-
sumption; as they did in 1894 when
they helped elect an overwhelming re-
publican majority In the house to
chain the hands OF the Cleveland adj
ministratidn and prevent further mis-
chief by free trade legislation. and az
they didssn 1896 and again in 1900 when
they. united with republicans to defeat
Bryan and free silver.
The south has two-thirds Of the DEM
ocratic membership in the house. The
south would absolutely control the
house WITH a democratic majority. That
section with per cent Of the savings,
one-sixth OF the capital In building as
sociatioAs and less than one-fourth q
the life insurance policies, would DOM
mate the business policies OF this gov
eminent The northern democrat al
wen as. the northern republican knows
| that the south can not be trusted e
formulate business policies for ths
whole country until it succeeds In dem
onstrating that it can conduct its Owl
| business as successfully as does thu
north. Northern democrats dare no
help place the south in control OF tn
house for that would mean theory rath
err than experience in government ant
i business affairs.

.DoN'T TRUST A PARTY THAT
CAN'T TRUST ITSELF

Don't trust party that can't trust
rotary Wilson. the hard-headed farm
er member of the cabinet The demo-
Gratis have not trusted themselves since
the beginning Of the civil war. They
have been lodging their past mistakes
ever since their leaders plunged the
country into that awful fratricidal
strife nearly half a century ago by try
ing to destroy the unicn and set up a
! government of their own. They We're
not able to hold democrats to that pro-
gram or policy since that day. They
have every four years tried to get away
from the platform of the preceding
campaign and have SO discredited
themselves in their own eyes that they
can now agree on nothing except the
desire to secure control of the federal
government.
Judge Parker does not trust his
party and his party does not trust him.
!. He says the st. Louis platform is an
excellent one and then he interprets
that platform as no delegate in the con-
2 vention ever dreamed OF interpreting
{ it. The imperialism" the democratic
convention denounced was supposed to
oe in the Philippines, but Judge Parkei
c AFTER three efforts to interpret that
,nsAnk gives it up and criticises 'im-
peSlalism" in purely executive acts
here at home which no one dreamed Of
Lbeing unconstitutional until the judg,
e made the discovery as good way ou
of his fornfer blunderings in trying t.
giveJfnterpretation to that plank.
The democratic leaders do not agre,
upon the tariff but majority of thu
party as represented in congress d.
agree that protection is robbery an,
unconstitutional and they will contro
the policy OF the party on that ques
ton now as they have always con
trolIed it. There were many northern

who is '.tooteing" political wisdom at
80 much per tote does not mention
this.
Senator Dubois himself is too much
engrossed with his organization of the
american" party in Utah; c. Herveyi
Jackson, chairman Of the alleged dem
ocratic state central committee OIL
Idaho is too busily engaged in getting
out new mottos to adorn his banner in
Boise; candidate Heitfeld is trying to
explain to an ignorant public how I'll
all happened; the Reverend Benjamin
Franklin Clay, apostolic delegate to the
democratic charnal house, can only find
time to devote his attention to matters
of an ecclesiastical nature. All the
other speakers are in the same lament
able condition, They have but one false
issue and dare not discuss another nor
face real one.
What a farce it Is when any consad-
cradle body. of people will willingly, or
otherwise. consent to be led like a
flock of maudlin geese by gentleman
who can conveniently change his polit-
ical beliefs as rapidly as the shifting of
a weather vane. A man who, while pos
ing as democrat In the United States
senate and claiming to be the leader of
his party in Idaho, yet openly refuses
to recognize the national leaders and
the national platform. Who declares
in his speech in Occur dAiene city that
he Is Just as strong free silver man
as ever but the silver Issue must be
held In allegiance" Whose sole inten-
tion is the disintegration OF the party
to which he afiirms allegiance.

New York, Dec with only three

days work it was evident when the
case OF Nan Patterson for the murder
Of Caesar Young was resumed in the
supreme court during the day that
more time would be required for pre-
liminaries than in the first trial The
examination of candidates for jury
dnty is being prosecuted with the
greatest care and particular attention
is being given to the conditions OF
health of the talesmen to prevent, il
possible, repetition Of the occurrence
which brought the previous trial to
sudden termination. On that occasion
when juror was stricken with apo
plexy it was learned that he had suf-
fered two previous shocks. The third
stroke precluded any possibility Of his
continuing duty in the jury box This
time each talesman is questioned
closely as to his condition of health,
in addition to the usual questions put
in such case, and the slightest init
nation as to any physical infirmity is
regarded as good ground for the exer-
cising Of the right to challenge In
addition TO this piecaution medical ex-
perts are kept case at hand in case

BELIEVED THE NOTES WERE GENUINE
ASSERTS MRS. CHADWICK sWoRE
SHE WITNESSED Mr.. cARNE.
GLE SIGN THE PAPERS.

Oberlin, o.. Dec. 7.-President G. T.
Beckwith Of the Citizens National
bank is practically in state of col
lapse as result of the trying ordeal
through which he has passed in con
nection with his hearing before the
| United States commissioner at Cleve
land. Beckwith is completely pros
trated and his grief is pitiful. In DIS
cussing his troubles the voice of the
aged banker is choked with emotion.
In speaking Of the Carnegie notes he
7ehemently declared that if the sigma
lures were forgeries then the hand of
the law should be laid upon Mrs.
Chadwick.
"Why should l stand the brunt of
all this trouble which has been direct
ly brought about by the acts of that
woman?" he cried.
Continuing Mr.. Beckwith said: 81
had every reason to believe that the
notes were genuine. Indeed Mrs. Chad
wick swore they were. She solemnly
declared that she had seen Mr.. Car
negie write his signature on them. To
confirm this she brought an attorney
with her who declared that he was the
legal representative OF Mr.. Carnegie
and this attorney, whose name l can
not now state, declared that he knew
positively that the signatures were
genuine.
"It is true that we-Mr. Spear and
myself-did endorse the notes, but of
course we had no idea that they were
to be put to the use that they were
afterwards.
"Then again we had the positive as
surance of Iri Reynolds, secretary of
the Wade Park Banking company at
Cleveland, that he had the securities
that Mrs. Chadwick claimed he had.
'Oh, my God!" exclaimed the old
man, IF l could only have my life to
live again for the past year that
might save my name from this great
misfortune that has befallen me-"

the scientific declaration that snow is
blue one that is positive and iilefuta-
BILE.
1t is we'll known fact that pure wa
ter in small quantities is perfectly
transparent. In large masses it is dis
tinctly blue. Snow is simply the crys-
tails of pure water. The reflection from
these is that of all the colors of the
rainbow Or prism. but by uniting be-
fore they reach the eye cause SNOW to
appear to be white. "Rut.' you will
say, 1.-THE single crystal also appears to
be white" This is true beyond q.es-
ton, the reason Being that that which
appears to lie a single crystal is in
reality a multitude of microscopic
threads, prisms lines and dots.
In spite of their apparent great di-
versity in form and shape, which may
vary from hairlike crystals to perfect
stars of beautiful, delicate and intri-
cate designs, they may be said to be
absolutely uniform in original delinea-
tion, that of the heXagonal prism. The
primitive form is that of straight
needle of ice, radiating from a central
nucleus. always at symmetrical dis
tances and at angles of either 60 Or 100
degrees. What may on casual exami-
be taken for exceptions to this
rule are the little disks which occasion
ally fall. These on close examination
proved to be six sided planes, the angle
still being 12O degrees.

gave the alarm and with the men in

POLITE TO THE LAST.
A Maid In Whom Courtesy Was a
Ruling Passion.


The Ellen in Samuel Laman Blanch
ards excellent but now forgotten book
"Sketches From Life" had probably
never heard of Emerson's saying
''There is always. time enough for cour
tesy," but she embodied the great
sage's principle in her daily intercourse
with her fellow beings. Politeness was
ruling passion with her. To the fish
erman's boy she would answer. Yes
sir; soies, sir, if it is quite convenient u
Mr.. Blanchard lodged with Ellen's mis-.
tress, and one day the manservant OF
friend brought parcel Of books.
The man delivered the books into El-
lens hands; then, remembering he was
intrusted with letter also. he search
ed his pockets in vain for the missive.
Ellen. waiting in the hall, was greatly
distressed.
'Oh, pray, sir, do. not trouble your
selfv.
Trouble myself!'' exclaimed the serv-
ant. "If have letter to deliver I've
got to deliver It," And lie continued
his search
"1'm sorry to keep you waiting"
broke out the apologize Ellen.
*'W'hy, It is l who am keeping you
waiting" returned the puzzled servant.
"What are you talking about: Well.
I can't tind the letter.
''Oh, SIR" entreated the maid, ''never
mind! 1 dare say It doesn't signify.
Another time will do quite as WELL"
Mr.. Blanchard's landlady was taken
sick, and every day the lodger's in
quiries were answered by the faithful
Ellen in somewhat this wise:
"My lnissis' compliments, sir, and
she had very Indifferent night" or,
"A1y missis' compliments. sir, and she
feels very weak today
One sad day when Ellen appeared
with the breakfast her eyes were red
and her lips quivered. In response to
the usual question she sobbed out:
