And of all this and from all this, he rose
Full panoplied, when came his coun-
try's call,
Strong hearted and rong-framed to bear
the woes
Which fell on him the bitterest OF all
And we'll he wrought, and wisely well he
knew
The strain and stress that should be his
alone;
He did the task long set for him to do
This man who came unfavored and un-
known.
We look to-day, not through Griefs mist
of tears,
Not through glamour of nearness to the
great.
But down the long, long corridor of years
Where stand the sentinels of Fame and
Fate,
And now we see him, whom men called
uncouth,
Grown wondrous fair beneath the hand
of Time,
And know the love of liberty and truth
Brings immortality, and makes sublime
But, o, this rugged face with kindly eyes
Wherein a haunting sorrow ever stays
Somehow it seems that through the sor-
row rise
The echoed visions of his other days,
That still we may in subtle fancy trace
The light that led him with prophetic
CLEANS
That here we gaze upon the pictured face
OF one who was boy that lived his
dreams!

ENGLISH PARCELS POST.

Mr.. F. W. Mahir, u. S. Consul
at Nottingham, England, fur
nishes the following concerning
the parcels post in that country:
''There are no carrying compa-
nies there like our express COM
panies, but the post-ofice and
railroads render the same kind of
service. The maximum weight
of parcel by mail is eleven
pounds. The charge is 6 cents
for one pound or less, and a grad
ual increase up to 22 cents for
eleven pounds.
The size of a parcel may ',e
three and one-half feet long and
of any width, but length and
width or girth combined must not
exceed six feet.
The post-office pays 1915 as
compensation for loss of any
parcel not containing money or
jewelry, but compensation for
any parcel may be secured by reg
istration. A registry fee of 4
cents secures S24. 33 compensa-
ton; 6 cents secures $97. SO, 8
cents $195. &c, and so on up to a
cents which secures the maximum
compensation of 81, 1850
The railways carry, on passen-
ger trains, parcels of any size and
weight that can be carried in the
guards van. The charge for any
distance within the kingdom is 8
cents for 2 pounds or less, and 10
cents for 3 pounds. Parcels over
3 pounds and up to "a pounds pay
a gradually increasing rate vary
ing with the distance carried.
For "a pounds carried 80 miles
the charge is IL cents, and the
rate is gradually increased for
distances up to 100 miles. For
"a pounds to distances exceeding
100 miles the rate is 40 cents.
These charges include both col
lection from and delivery to resi-
dences or places of business"

DON'T LIKE IT.

A plutocratic-democratic Jour-
nal in Portland does not approve
the Gazette's appeal to republi-
cans to cease their factionalism.
Of course not; no one supposed it
would. Strife among republi-
cans is the only thing which sug-
gests the smallest ray of hope
that the democratic party may
elect a governor, or a U. S. Sena-
tor. When anything is said to
weaken this fond hope republic
cans expect to hear the journals

are neither disappointed nor dis
concerted.

prove an exception, and possibly
few persons expect it to be al
though there is so much that con-
gress should do.
But is this a condition inherent
to our form of government? We
do not believe so. The trouble,
probably, arises from several
causes working simultaneously to
the same end. We have carried
government by party too far; we
have expected "our delegation in
congress- to look after the inter
ests of the state frst~and of the
whole country, if he then have
time, afterwards and we have not
been enough careful in choosing
who shall be our lawmakers.
We are yet too young a people
to have mastered even the ele-
ments of human government.
We have been too deeply absorbed
in the development of our mate
rial resources to give much time
to studying the science of govern
ment. Sometime, possibly not
until the millennium dawn, we
shall know and apply more of the
principles Of scientific and prac-
tical self-government. Mean
while we shall govern and be
governed lnuch as we choose, and
shall always be willing to swear
"ours is the best government on
EARTH"

Better Than medicine.
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing
a1c be Cur ed of Catarrh.

Nature has remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dosing
the stomach " ith medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams oil
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, killing
all catarrhal germs, and restoring health
to the mucous membrane.
In using Hyomei you are treating your
catarrhal troubles with the only natural
remedy, for it gives curative air bath to
the air passages that has as powerful
healing and antiseptic effect as that found
in the m ountains wnere the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing bal.
sans.
Breathe the invigerating and healing
Hyomei, and see how quickly you " Ill
get relief from your catarrhal troubles.
Graham & Wells have seen SO many
cures, even of the worst cases of catarrb,
with offensive breath. raising of mucus,
frequent sneezing. droppings in the
throat and spasmodic coughing, that
they feel warranted in selling Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all that is
C! al m ed for it. They take all the risk.

NOT A DEFECT IN FORM.

Indiseriminate legislation by
those who have no expert knowl-
edge of the subjects upon which
they would legislate, appears to
be one of the defects of our form
of government.
Closely observe the present
congress. The representatives
of the people find themselves un-
der the necessity of legislating
upon subjects of the al.:vest
character, To do so intelligently
and efficiently requires expert
knowledge. How ::many men
have such knowledge? Our mon
etary system needs some careful,
practical legislation. Control of
corporations, tariff revision and
several weighty matters besides
require legislation. How many
men in congress are possessed of
the requisite knowledge to form
ulate wise, practical legislation
on any of these subjects? But
the very few who are best quail
fed have small influence in shap-
ing legislation on these questions.
Party considerations, local infu-
ences, personal ambitions all
combine to nullify the efforts
these few may make to secure
wise legislation along any line.
Questions arise, to deal with
which not only requires profound
specific knowledge, but wise
craftsmanship, yet any glib part
isan will exert a greater influence
than the most farseeing states
man. He appeals to party;
arouses party feeling, stirs up
party animosities and local pref
udices.
The result is that legislation is
either wholly defeated or it is
crude. imperfect, and possibly
unwfse and harmful. This is es-
pecially true of presidential years.
At sessions of congress preceding
presidential elections there is al
ways larger amount of legisla-
tiQn proposed, a greater portion
of time wasted in so-called dis
cussion, and less legislation en-
acted than at any other session.
The present session will hardly

New York.-"There is just one thing

case" said John A. Bagley, attorney
general of Idaho in 19O2-1904, who is
in this city, "and that is, no matter
what may happen to Haywood and his
associates in the miners association,
Harry Orchard, the selfconfessed as
sassin of Governor Steunenberg, will
be hanged.
Orchard has not been promised i'm
munity in Idaho, and even If he were
extended executive clemency, he has
confessed to thirteen murders outside
the state, of which he could be con-
victed and from punishment for which
Idaho could not absolve him.

January a Free Man.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan.-William
January, alias Charles w. Anderson,
for whose pardon petition containing
the signatures of $4,000 persons was
presented to President Roosevelt three
months ago, was released from the fed
eral prison here.
Anderson will return to Kansas City
where he will engage in business. He
denied a report that he intends to op-
crate pool hall.
Anderson was convicted eleven years
ago of robbing an Oklahoma postoffice
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
three years. He escaped two years
later and went to Kansas City, as
sumed the name of Anderson and mar
ried. In April this year an ex-convict
who had known January in the penl-
tentiary notified the warden of the
mans whereabouts and he was rear
rested and taken back to Leavenworth.
Owing to the exemplary life Ander-
son had led in Kansas City his neigh
bors started movement for his re-
lease. The newspapers took up the
case with the result that a petition
which is said to have contained the
largest number of signatures ever ap-
pended to an appeal for a pardon was
forwarded to Washington. President
Roosevelt reviewed the case, and, upon
recommendation of Attorney General
Bonaparte, granted a pardon effective
at the expiration of three months from
the time of his rearrest. January has
proven model prisoner He says he
will seek to have his citizenship re-
stored and If successful will then ask
the courts to change his name to An
derson for the protection of his wife

OF Railway Commissioners has ad-

principal trunk lines crossing the state
asking that they voluntarily put a 2.
cent rate in effect the same as in ad-
Joining states. 1t is intimated that

All of the roads operating between
Denver and st. Louis put into effect

duced the fare to st. Louis to $21.65. a
cut OF 81. Eqnalizing rates necessa-
riiy have to be put into effect on the
roads to other points that are reached
via Missouri, and the result is that
reduction is also made in the fare to
Chicago and eastern points. The rate
from Denver to Chicago is lowered
from $2S.65 to s25.35. These rates are
passed on the old rates from Denver to
missouri river points and to this is

Secret Of Good Garden Making.

In order to have good gardens we
must really care for the plants in
them. and know them individually as
well as collectively. This is an impor-
tant part of the technique of the gar
denmaker; he must know intimately
the form and texture as well as the
color OF ali lne plants he uses; for
plants are to the gardener what his
palette is to a painter. The two arts
of painting and garden design are
closely related. says Scribner's, except
that the landscape gardener paints
with actual color line, and perspective
to make composition, as the maker
of stained glass does, while the paint

lionaires charged with conspiracy to

coal lands in Sheridan county. The
defendants, of whom Holbrook Is a
capitalist, Longabaugh prominent at
torney of Sheridan, and McPhilamey
leading business man of Sheridan
county, seemed stunned by the verdict
and had little to say.
The maximum penalty to which
each of the convicted men can be sen
fenced on each of the two counts in
the Indictment is $4,000 fine and two
years Imprisonment
The $1,000 bond given by each OF
the defendants prior to trial holds

After the trial United States District
Attorney Timothy +. Burke stated that
no one knew at this time whether ac-
ton would be instituted against Mrs.
Anna MCGEE of Sheridan, mother-in-
law of Longabaugh; Mrs. Lee Hake
of Sheridan, Longabaugh's niece, and

The defence of the three co-defend-

was in the nature of rebuttal on incon-
sequential points in the testimony of
witnesses for the prosecution.
