As Told by His Latest and Best

Many conflicting versions are cur

Review, and we believe we
shall do our readers favor by con-
densing the story of this famous en-
counter as told by O'Connelrs latest
and best biographer, Michael Mac
Donagh, who writes with a full knowl-
edge of the sources and without the
usual prejudice of Irishmen in favor
of, or Of Englishmen against, the

A paragraph is going the rounds
showing that we once whipped the
japanese. 1t reminds us that on
June "a, 1868, Japan announced the
closing of the ports opened by
treaties. and later some English,
French and American vessels bonn

humed this episode in connection
with the affair. The American force
was commanded by David S. Nc
Dougal and consisted of the Wyo-
ming, second class 72O,ton sloop
carrying six guns. The japanese
had three converted merchaptment.
mounting 90 guns, which were aided
by seven land forts with 80 guns.
The action was brief, lasting only
one hour. cat the end of the en-
gagemeDt the Japanese did not have
any warships left and the seven
forts were silenced. The Wyoming
was slightly injured, but still in the
ring. Probably most newspaper
readers are unaware that the United
States once fought naval battle IN

as a result three requests were re-

came from Virginia, one from New

one from Billings, Montana. The
notice of sale of bonds was also

DR.. HoOvER'S APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of DR.. G. A:
Hoover of this city, as superintend-
ent of the insane asylum at Black
foot, is only just recognition for
his years of faithful service to the
republican party in this state. He
is recognized as one of the leading
physicians and surgeons In Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming. He gradual
ed from the medical department. of
what is now known as the George
Washington University, formerly
known as the Columbian Unlvers-
ity, Washington, D. c., in 1877.
He has had % years active practice,
% of which have been in the above
named states, with headquarters at
Montpelier. During that time he
has taken two postgraduate courses
in the east, the last one being in '9s.
No more competent man IN every
particular could have been selected
in the state OF Idaho for this posi-
ton. He possesses both pr OCCASIONAL
and business ability that especially
qualify him to care for the unfor-
Inmates in the asylum and TO prop
erly manage and look after the bus
mess interests of that institution.
DR.. Hoover has always been OPP
posed to the union of church and
state, and emphatlcally opposed to
church interference IN political mat
tiers. When it was known that he
was an asplrant tor this position
leading politicians, physicians and
women in every county in the state
sent in strong personal endorse
ments, requesting his appointment.
DR.. Hoover is a man of honor
and integrity; a man of sterling
character and business ability;
good husband, father, neighbor and
citizen. His appointment mas and
will meet with almost, universal ap-
proval in the state. Montpelier and
Bear Lake county are proud to fur

South's Advantages.
Washington Post.

Hon. Hillary A. Herbert, ex-Secreta- ry of the Navy, in discussing the forth coming Southern Industrial Parliament, to be held in Washington May 23 to 26, said to a party of gentlemen in the lobby of the Riggs House last night that heretofore two factors had mili- tated against desirable immigration into the Southern States: They were the popular impression that in many places the country was unhealthy. fill- ed with malarial effluvia, and the pres ence of cheap colored labor. with which intelligent white industry did not desire to compete, but that in point of fact native white labor has in late years proved itself more efficient there. especially in farming. than negro labor.
 He also affirmed that health statistics will show that the Southern States are quite as healthy as the Northern.
 In mining enterprises, his own States of Alabama was rapidly taking posi- tion with the foremost, while in manu- featuring establishments, South Caro- lima showed a gratifying increase. The trucking resources of that part of the Atlantic slope from Virginia to Florida carried annually many thousands of dollars into territory. If the Governors of the Southern States, he said, accom- panied by intelligent delegations. com petent to speak of the sanitary condi- tions, agricultural. and mineral re- sources. and manufacturing opportuni- ties, would assemble in wilmington, and pronounce authoritatively upon these subjects, their States would be bene- fitted and it will attract attention from the investment woEld.

And we can't get enough!
Why MT. raft is King.


 Some may wonder why Vice Preei- dent Fairbanks does not seize the helm so to speak and proceed to steer the ship of state, the President being in the depths of Colorado hunting with dogs half-starved wolves of less size than any dog engaged in the hunt. The wolves are, however, type of the gray wolves of Washington. and the Prest- dent Ia perhaps getting his hand in so he can hunt the latter when he re- turns to Washington. The country will. at any rate, applaud hunt for gray wolves at any time or anywhere. But we wander.
 We started out to ascertain why the elongated statesman of Indiana Is not acting President instead of the fat statesman of Ohio. The reason of 1t Is found in a section of the federal coil- stitution which says that "in case of the removal of the President from off, flee, or flis death, resignation. or Ina bili%y to discharge the powers and du. ties of the said office, the same shall devolve upon the Vice-President." This section does not cover the hunting ef half-starved wolves in Colorado or even of gray wolves in Washington.
 It might be said that the President has placed himself where he IS unable to discharge the duties of the Presiden- tial office, but he does not think SO, and the inability" mentioned in the constl- tuition cannot be established. his keeps the thin Fairbanks out and the fat Taft in. Avoirdupois thus becomes again an element in statesma nship.

Chicago New Voice.
 The Cherokee Nation of Indians has never been a nomadic or wandering tribe. For centuries they lived on their. farms and in their villages in Northern Georgia, vultivating the ground and trusting in their Great Spirit. the creator and overseer of all Homeric literature. their traditions. Their family ties were sacred. Their affection for their homes was remar- kable. Their code of ethics compared lized Anglo saxons. The weird beau ty of their native hymns, their lofty ideals of right and wrong, the rugged purity of their lives conspire to make their story of intense interest. No nobler aboriginal people ever lived.
 The story of their dealings with the white men constitutes one of the sad dest, cruelest, and blackest pages in the book of the worlds history. No man can read the accounts of their banishment from their Georgia homes, how they were driven from their fire- sides at the point of the bayonet, how their homes were burned, their farms pillaged. their cattle driven away, and even their graves systematically rob- bed in search of silver trinkets, with out grinding his teeth in shame and modification that he belonged to the ties.
 Seven years before the formation of the American Temperance Society, eight years before the six Sermons" of Lyman Beecher were published, four teen years before the first national temperance convention was held, more than twenty years before the Wash ingtonian movement was inaugurated. thirty years before the fraternal tenn perance societies began to be formed, thirty-one years before the Maine law was enacted, the legislature of the Cherokee Nation enacted the first prohibition laws and kept strengthen ing them and perfecting them to this day. For not an hour has the Chero- kee legislature faltered or hesitated as to this policy of prohibiting the traffic. For eighty-six years they have faith

SMASHING ANOTHER ONE.

Is there to be no escape from the pestiferous iconoclast? Will he never cease to knock our most cher ished traditions, legends and beliefs in the head? We have had the story of William Tell ground into dust and scattered to the four winds. We have had the account of John Smith and Pocahontas attacked and emasculated. until we sometimes have doubts wheth- CT either ever existed
 The latest assault is on the venera- bie and hitherto invulnerable Christo- pher Columbus. They can't deny it, isted, though that may come in due time. At present he Is too well in- trenched in legend and history to be discontinued, as 1t were, and set down as a myth. What they are trying to do is to set aside his claim as a great navigator, and a man of won derful geographic knowledge and in< formation. It is not really denied that he visited the American continent, or that he was its discoverer, after a fashion. but 1t is asserted that ne was indebted to another for the informa- tion and plans which made his voyage a success.
 The new idoi-breaker is one Henry Vignaud, for thirty years Secretary of the American Embassy at Paris, and who is referred to as "one of the greatest living authorities on Colum- bus" While he does not deny that Columbus came to America Monsieur yignaud claims that his success was due to his pirating and using the knowledge and information brothers and thus acquiring for himself a rep utation to which he was in no wise en- titled. In short, Kit was humbug, if this writer is to be believed. Ac- cording to this theory, if Columbus had not infringed on the rights of others he would not have discovered this contI- nent. If he had not discovered it per- haps no one would and if no one had found 1t where would we be? It seems to us that the argument would run out if we carry 1t much farther. But great are the iconOclasts, even if they jar us at times.

Washington, April 12,-Commissioner of Pensions Warner has discovered that in addition to granting pensions under the "old age" order to members of a Pennsylvania military regiment, the. pension bureau has allowed about a hundred claims on applications made prior to April 13, 1904, the date on which the order went into effect. The amounts are trivial in all the cases, but the commissioner will require that they be refunded. He says that in this matter the mistake was due to an er- TOT in the construction of the law.

The President has certainly shown q liking for newspaper men in filling important positions. Only a day or two ago Robert J. Wynne. entered upon his duties as Consul General to Lon- don. This is the most lucrative po- sition in the foreign service. In ad- dition to the large salary received the Consul General has the advantage of not being compelled to entertain on a lavish scale and thus can save some of his earnings. MT. wynne was a newspaper man before he entered the public service several years ago. Mr. Cortelyou. Postmaster General, came from newspaper ranks. Mir. Leupp, who has an important position on the Indian Commission, was at the time of his appointment Washington corre- spondent of The New York Evening Post.

SPREAD OF THE TELEPHONE.

The development and extension of the telephone system is one of the wonders of modern times. Although this method of communication has been in use in way for about thirty years 1t was somewhat slow in attaining pop ularity. owing largely to the crude and imperfect instruments of the early years. The Improvements of Bell. Ed ison, Blake and others have so per fected it. and its use has-become so cheapened that its spread is astonish- ing. President Fisk. of the American Telephone Company, recently stated that the number of subscribers to the Bell system Is about 100 per cent. greater now than 1t was only three years ago. This of itself shows how 1t is growing.
 Talking some days ago with a we'll informed business man from Colum- bus, Ga, who is connected with one of the largest packing concerns in the South. he expressed his astonishment at the popularity. convenience and profitableness of the telephone system in that section. The. merchants in all the surrounding towns and railroad stations. he said. were habitual users of the telephone. and found it both a convenience and a paying investment. By and through it they were enabled at any hour in the day to learn the condition of the markets and the prices of whatever they had for sale or de- sired to purchase. By thus keeping themselves posted they always knew when to buy or sell. and were also en- abled at any time to order goods sent them, or to make contract to ship country produce to the city. Thus a double purpose Is served and a double convenience secured. And in this con- nection 1t Is not out of place to add that the day is not far distant when the farmers. except in remote and thin- ly populated districts. will enjoy the same advantages in this respect that the townspeople now enjoy.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-04-13
AN ELECTRICAL POSSIBILITY.

One of the possibilities of electric ity which an enthusiastic believer looks on as certain to come is the transmission of feature as we'll as voice. In other words, the telephone will be so perfected that when you take down the receiver and place 1t to your ear you will see the features, as well as hear the voice, of the one who is talking to you. And why not? That it seems improbable is true enough. That it is apparently much more difficult than is the transmits sion of sound may also be true, but that does not mean that 1t Is impos- sible. Even a generation ago the idea of a New Yorker carrying on a con- versation with one in Chicago would have been absurd but it is such a com mon thing now as not to excite com ment. So the next generation may see as we'll as hear by electricity, and no one feel surprised.
 The truth is, we seem now to be only at the threshold of electrical possibilities. Even the scientific men were slow to see what was possible, but for the last quarter of a cen- tury they have been developing its powers in a way that we can hardly keep pace with. Those who live a century from now may read the books and newspapers of the present and feel inclined to laugh at our preten- sions or to pity our ignorance of science. Then. doubtless, a person will be able to transmit his face. his handwriting and his voice as easily as the latter is now transmitted. We know something of the present, but we suspect that the wisest among us have only read the preface of the great book of electrical knowledge.
