Celebrates
fall OF BASI7LE

PARIS, July 13.-The profuse
decorations and other signs of fes-
tivity throughout Paris today afford
ample proof of the error Of the re-
cent reports that the 14th of July,
the anniversary of the fall of the
bastile. was to be abandoned as a
public holiday. 1t is evident that
the populace still holds the ami
versary in joyous memory and will
continue to celebrate 1t as of yore.
The popular merrymaking began
this evening with the customary
street balls. in which the pleasure
loving Parisians take such delight.
Throughout the evening the boule-
wards were crowded with people and
brilliantly illuminated with colored
lights. The festivities will be con-
tinued over tomorrow.

HERESY TRIAL
FOR MINISTER

HOPE, Ark, uly 13.-The Qua
chita Presbyteria has assembled
here for the trial of Rev. F. E.
Maddox, pastor Of the First Pres
byterian church Of Texercanna, on
charges OF heresy. The charges are
based on utterances in a series or
sermons which DR.. Maddox deliver
ed in his church, and which attract
ed attention throughout the south
west. The objections are based on
DR.. Maddox's views in relation to
salvation and the inspiration of the
scriptures.
DR.. Maddox holds that salvation
Is an evolution from within and
not an importation from without,
that it is development of a divinity
implanted gift and not a new gift
divinely implanted He holds that
men are saved from sin by grace as
the child Is saved from Ignorance
/ by education. As TO the scriptures

BOTH FACTIONS
CLAIM VICTORY
RESULT OF DENVER CONVENTION
ONLY RIBS UP MORE BITTER
FIGHT AT WALLACE AMONG
DEMOCRATS.

The anti-Dubois democrats regard
the action OF the national conven-
tion at Denver In refusing to insert
the anti-Mormon plank as indica-
tive Of Dubois retirement as q lead
or In Idaho politics The strength
of the two democratic factions in
Idaho will be brought to test at
the Wallace state convention, and
preparations for a strong fight for
the control OF county affairs are
now being made.
'The action of the national COM
mittee at Denver In rejecting the
anti-Mormon plank has permanent
tly retired ex-senator Dubois as q
leader of the democratic party In
Idaho" said George e. Erb. who is
prominent in the democratic party
In Idaho, and who remained in the
Dubois convention at Twin Falls
after the Perky convention had ad-
jcurned. BY this action Mr.. Erb,
who is also a delegate to the state
nominating convention, cannot be
denied seat in the convention hall
and he will carry the anti-Duboii
fght through the state nominating
convention.
On. the other hand the friends o.
Mr.. Dubois feel the opposition to tn
Mormon plank and the policies
OF Mr.. Dubois suffered a telling de-
| faat when their delegatos were turn
ed down by the national committe'
and denied q seat in the nationa
convention. Ths view is entertained
by Mr.. Dubois friends that much o
the strength arrayed against him q
Twin Falls will support his platform
in the state nominating convention
The interesting feature is that botl
foctions admit the democratic part
is rent asunder in Idaho and tina
there is positively no chance of tn
differences being settled.

A POOR PROPHET.

Mir. Chain. the prohibitionist. who seems to think he Is running for President has also gone into the pre- dieting business. He declares that the party which gets defeated in the com- ing election Twill go to smash and drop out of existence" If he is cor rect that will dispose of about halt a-dozen parties. and we cannot say that any tears should be shed when they shuttle off and cash n. We are not aware that any good 10 the coun- try or people is to be hoped or expected from any of them.
 But if Mir. Chafin anticipates the final dissolution of either the Demo- cratic or Republican party because it he would better try to get his pro- phetic hat on straight. for he's badly off in his prediction. The same thing has been predicted of the Democratic organization from a time beyond the memory of most men. but It is still in the ring, and will remain so as long as there is an enemy to fight or sound principles to be advocated and defended. It has endured many hard knocks, many defeats and many dis couraglng experiences but 1t has never been down and out and will not be this time. If Mir. Bryan Is defeated this time it will eliminate him as a leader, but the party itself will re- main. probably reorganized and strengthened by defeat. It has had too many hard knocks to Ego to smash" for just one more of them.
 And why should Mir. Chafin expect the Republican party to go out of business if Taft is defeated? That party was put down and out in 1884 and 1892 and SO far from quitting and going to smash 1t seems to have gain ed strength. if after results prove any thing. and if 1t Is defeated this time 1t will have as much to live for and fight for as 1t ever had. Even if it had no principles to keep it alive there
