IL Will be remembered that on the first
Of March. 1894 Mr. Gladstone delivered his
last speech in the House Of Commons.
That speech did not distinctly announce
that his resignation u his seat in Paria-
ment was to follow at once, but some mem
beers Of the House had already reason TO
feel p strong conviction that such was tho
resolve OF tho great statesman Mr.. Nc
Carthy tells us that he listened 10 every
sentence Of this memorable speech with
the deepest emotion, and until the very end
/ still kept on expecting some words which
should announce Gladstone's farewell 10
his place in Parliament, But as no such
words were spoken, ! began 10 wonder
w. her il could be that after all the great
Prime Minister had made up his mind TO

II is interesting TO learn what impression
was made upon our author by ano Their
distinguished American Charles Sumner
Mr. Mccarthy says that Charles Sumner
was the most impressive figure so far as
physical attributes we're concerned. among
the public men Of his time. He was very
tall. was powerfully built and had hand
some face. In stature and proportions he
often reminded me Of Bismarck; hut Summer
was a very handsome man. which Bismarck
certainly was not. | had brought him a
letter Of introduction from John Bright
This in itself would have secured me a
cordial reception from Sumner. The two
men had alike advocated tho cause Of negro
emancipation when that great reform bad
vet to be struggled for, and Bright had been
a most powerful and eloquent champion
during the American civil war of that
Northern cause TO which Sumner, on the
other side Of the Atlantic, was devotinR his
best energies II our author recalls Pres

explanation, could not understahd how

stricken down by an attack. however
sudden. from an assailant Of ordinary
physical strength. Sumner explained 10
me that the attack was made on him while
he WAS alone lin the chamber, after the
sitting had been concluded aud was seated
at his desk writing letters. His knees were
under this heavy solid desk, and when he
endeavored 20 spring % his feet, he was

the Nationalist party made several

quently, az We have said he contributed
an interesting series Of articles on Eng
llsh public men to The GdlGrD, and also
published In that magazine novel, chiefly
descriptive of American life in the Atlantic
States and in San Francisco. The author
by tho way, subsequently withdrew this
novel from circulation. because, he says:
1t seemed 70 me neither quite story nor
quito book Of travel but only an unsat-
isfaotory attempt at n combination OF the

After br.ef sojourn in England during
the early part Of $50, MIR Mccarthy returned
to his old quarters in New York During
both OF his visits 10 America he went very
often to Boston. and made the acquaintance
there OF that group of distinguished men
whose writings shed such lustre over

While we very much regret our
defeat of last Tuesday, the object
which we sought to obtain by hay
ing the election conducted on party
lines, has been accomplished. The
mayor and councilmen-elect are
pledged to carry out certain munici-
pal improvements. In this connec-
ton we hope that Mr.. Douglas will
be the lucky man when he and Mr..
Whitman ssfip nickles" for the seat
in the council. While Mr.. Douglas
does not claim to be a democrat, he
will feel under obligations to work
with the party, inasmuch as it
honored him with the nomination.
This would give the democrats a
working majority in the council and
the responsibility Of the city admin
istration during the next two years
will rest upon their shoulders. The
candidates-elect are all progressive,
honest and upright citizens and we
feel confident that they will give us
strictly honest and business-like
administration. We congratulate
them upon their victory, and will
say to them that they will always
find the EXAMINER ready to com
mend every official act of theirs
looking to the advancement and
betterment of the city's condition,

Montpelier Is about the only town
in Idaho that does not pay its city
treasurer stated salary or . per
cent on all the money that passes

not expected that a treasurer in a
town of this size should receive very
much of salary, but when required
to furnish bond of $4,000 he
should at least receive compensa-
ton sufficient to pay him for his
time and trouble in getting up his
bond. In Payette the city treasur-

Charles II. Wright died at his
home in this city yesterday after
noon, after an illness of five months

he was confined to his bed. Mr..

Salt Lake City. AS a young man
he assisted in the construction of
some of the now historical buildings
of Salt Lake, and helped carve the
rocks for the Eagle gate.
Mr.. Wright came to Bear Lake
county % years ago, locating first
at Paris. He came to Montpelier a
few years afterwards and has ever
since resided here.

While there may be no law pro-
bibiting a man who is candidate
for office from officiating as judge
of election at which his success or
defeat Is at stake, It does seem to us
that man should have modesty
enough to refuse to act as judge
under those circumstances. To our
notion. a man is pretty "small

Thanksgiving Ii the Oldest Of Our
Festivals - Origin Dates to
Days Of the Israelits.

Thanksgiving day Is the Oldest OF
our annual religious festivals. II ante
dates by far both Easter and Christ
mas. Its origin runs back TO the days
Of the Israelites In the wilderness,
when the Divine command was: Thou
shalt keep the feast of harvest.
the hrst-fruits of thy labors. which
thou hast sown In thy field; and the
feast OF ingathering. which is In the
enc CT the year, when thou hast gath
cred In thy labors out OF the field"
The observance OF this Feast Of Har.
vest has never been intermitted among
pious Jews. Its spirit has. moreover
been recognized In all ages OF the
Christian church. in Harvest Festivals
and autumnal Thanksgiving days. in
the Church of England these days have
always had prominence. Even now
The English religious papers are filled
with sketches OF Harvest Festival OBJ
ser,ances In churches Of various de-
nominations. Thanksgiving day has
been sometimes spoken OF as In this
country, peculiarly New England
holiday: but this is hardly the truth.
The Dutch governors appointed
Thanksgiving day as early as 1914.
Such a day was designated annually
by the federal congress during the
revolutionary war. In the Book OF
