The Speaking.

Last Tuesday night, Septemb-
er 25th, Governor Gooding and
Col. Miller spoke in Challis on
political issues, from republi-
can standpoint, as they appeared
to them.
The Governor received very
cold reception here from repub-
licans as well as democrats. His
audience was not large, and
those who did come out to hear
him were mostly democrats.
The Governor got in confus-
ed state when he was asked a
few pointed questions by gen
tleman from the audience rela-
tive to Meyer, Haywood, and
others. The Governor replied
that the matter would have 70
be decided by the courts. Yet
the Governor stated some time
ago these men were guilty, and
yet they have had no trial. So
from that the Governor has been
acting the part of the court and
jury both. We supposed in law
that every person was innocent
until proven guilty.
Again the Governor was ask
ed about the statement of Steve
Adams, and in reply said he did
not take the word of confessed
murderer. And why do you
take the word OF Harry Orchard,
a confessed murderer, and NOT
the word of Steve Adams?" was
asked the Governor. To this
reply Gooding gave an evasiye
answer.
The Governors speech here
was not vote winner, but made
votes for Judge Stockslager, the
nominee on the democratic tick
ct, the candidate who stands for
the laboring people.

The Cruel Plant.

A Canadian climber, the Physianthus
Athens, has received the name Of "crueI
plant" frOm,its 81 treatment Of butter
flies. It hbWers il the month Of Au-
gust, aud the butterflies, attracted by
the perfume, hover around it in large
numbers aHd push their trunks into the
corOilas to sip the honey A pair Of
sensitive vegetable pinchers in the
heart Of the nower grips the delicate
PROPOSES, and Ia spite Of struggles to
get free the butterfly hangs suspended
until it dies. Apparently the plant has
nothing TO gain By the death Of the In
sect, as Il y not earnivorous, like the
Venus ny trap. In fact, II the butter.
fly were allowed 70 come and 60 IL
would tend to tester the species by as
sistiRg cpess fertilization. It appears,
however, that the "eruel plant" came
originally from Brazil, where the but
terfies are much stronger and extri-
cate their suckers from the trap. We
may add that another Canadian plant,
the CnIcus discelor, is charged with
cruelty. The flower has a gland which
secretes q viscous liquid capable Of
lining insects Which ara fond Of it.
MoreOyer, they seem to be stupefed
and poisoned By IT. and no reason can
as yet be assigned for the deadly con-
sequence.

New York.
M. Hearst, according to the final
dictum of the courts, has been de-
feated. But, In the meantime, he mas
made one Of the most strenuous fights
in the history of New Yorks politics.
He has shown that the methods of
Pammany hall were corrupt to the
last degree. That there was repeat
ing and duplication cannot be denied
or disputed by those who are most
familiar with the methods which pre-
vailed. It is Just possible that the
rules of Tammany hall are not any
worse than they are under a great
many other municipal saHhedrims.
But the fact remains that Tam

Mr.. Hearst waS the man who brought

The people of this country will be
under obligations for many years to

me Fir,t Hata.

DiscOursing on the subject Of hats an
antiquary expressed the opinion that
the hat was first used quite as much
for decoration as for protection. The
ancestor Of all hats he considers to
have been the ElIlet, or band, around the
hair worn by the ancient Greeks,
among others. Probably the first hint
gained by men regarding head Orna-
ments was through observing the
crests, plumes and antlers Of various
birds and beasts. The eastern races,
with their fondness for ceremony and
display, afford the most notable in
stances Of the use Of hats as signs OF
rank and authority. Thus in Bud
dhist countries the gods are represent
ed as wearing elaborate forms Of head
gear. In Korea the fashion attains It's
height no fewer than fifty kinds Of
hats being worn by the natives as indi-
cations Of their social position.

In the east walk of the cloisters at

most interesting graves-those Of
Thomas BetteEton and his wife, better
known ab Bess saunderson, and the
ever fascinating Mrs. Braceg4rdle OF
all the people who lie within these hal
lowed walls It may safely be said that
Betterton has the best claim Of all to
this privilege. No small measure Of
praise must be accorded to this gifted
actor for the fact that he almost more
than any enc else was responsible for
the resuscitation Of the English drama
after the stern regime Of the Puritans.
Mrs. Bracegirdla was either adopted by
BettertOn or placed under his care, and
she very soon took all hearts in Lon
don by storm. she achieved her great
est success in acting in Congreve's
plays. Her artistic career, however,
was a comparatively short one, for
Mrs. BracegtrdIe retired from the

lived on in honorable retirement and
beloved by all, high and low, far and

ing upon Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
10 resfgn his seat in the United
States Senate as one of New YoTk's
representative, was introduced al
the opening session Of the New York
legislature at Albany yesterday, and,
while il is rather severe upon Mr.,
Depew. It is hardly more so than the
circumstances which inspired II
would seem 70 warrant
II is notorious that Senator Depew
was elected on the demand Of the rail-
reads and other large corporate inter
ests and since his advent in the SEN
ate as a representative Of the peO-
PIE CD he has devoted his energies
% the service Of those 90 whom he
was responsible for the exalted honor
conferred upon him.
Since the opening session Of the
New York legislative insursne in
curry Mr.. Depew has been much in
evidence and his name has been
coupled with the most questionable
transactions. His land syndicate
scheme. by which he secured large
sums from the insurance companies
on inaoeQUste security, with their
ccnnivance, no doubt was one OF the
most hagrant pieces of graft with
which a public man has ever been
