In His Infinite Wisdom.

There is no true rest of heart and
soul in time of trial until we have
come to look beyond causes and hui
man instruments and have seen the
hand of our God and Father appoint
ing all in his infinite wisdom and love.
Cease as far as possible from vain re-
grets and leave all calmly to him who
has promised that all things work to-
gether for good. To bring our hearts
to this may be the very meaning and
end Of the dispensation.

It is where sure knowledge ends that
sure faith begins. Even suspicious

darkness, and when all appearance
seem against His loving purposes and

LAST week the federal grand jury
returned indictments on FIVE accounts
against the New York World, and
its editors, Joseph Pulitzer, Caleb
Van Hamm and Robert Lyman; and
against Delavan Smith and Chas. Will
liamS, of the Indianapolis News, on
seven accounts, charging libel against
the parties named for the defamatory
utterances through their papers in re-
gard to the purchase of the Panama
Canal. VIM. Nelson Cromwell,
one of the parties who was libeled,
says the stories were premedltated
and made with foreknowledge of
their infamous sources, and after
specific announcement by me of
their falsity, and were concoct-
ed more than two and half years
ago by INSCRIPTIONS parties in
New York, who made demand up
on me at that time to pay them a
large sum of money, with the threat
that if | did not comply with the de-
mand those stories would be pud-
lished." He further adds: The
indictment of the New York
World and the Indianapolis News is
not an indictment of the press of the
United States, as they would like TO
have it appear, to obtain the support
of the general press of the country.

zled press.

THE probate judges throughout the
state are generally feeling much easier
since the supreme court administered
the knockout drops to the two consti-
tutional amendments which were vot-
ed upon and carried last fall; although
we feel safe in saying that Idaho
county's incumbent, Judge Jacques,
lost little sleep over the outcome of
the matter. The judges equanimity
is not easily disturbed by the minor
events of this life; he evidently bases
his philosophical attitude upon the
conviction that you can't keep a
good man down. and pursues the
even tenor of his course without a
tremor.

PARTY CARTOON SYMBOLS.

The cartoon symbols of the polti-
cal parties. used in burlesque, have
become so fixed in the minds of the
reading public by constant use and
association with party acts and policies,
as to at once convey to the mind of
the most obtuse the point of com
mendation or criticism without the
requirement of designating title or
explanatory notes, and yet few even
of the political leaders of today know
exactly where the Republican elephant,
the Democratic donkey or the Tam
many tiger originated, or how they
came into such popular use.
Thomas Mast, the most noted car
toonist who drew ever a crayon, and
whose memory is now fast passing
out of the minds of even the older
generation is the man who originated
and popularized those humorous
political emblems. And that they are
popular with the members of the
parties which they represent is evil
denced by the fact that William
Bryan only few months since
Squelched an attempt on the part of
the aristocratic element of his party
to eliminate the donkey, which has so
long served its purpose as the emblem
of that party.
The Democratic donkey first ap-
peared in Harper's Weekly in the
issue of January IS, 1870, and was
founded upon the attacks made upon
the memory of Edwin M. Stanton
Lincoln's secretary of war. The car
toon was captioned, "A Live Jackass
Kicking Dead Lion.
The Republican party was first
portrayed as an elephant by Mast in
1874. The elephant that he frs,
drew was labeled, THE Republican
Vote and was pictured as a hlund-
ering beast during the time OF the
great cry that arose out of the feal
that President Grant would be can
didate for a third term. This, like
all of Mast other stricking symbols,
was Immediately adopted by othe
cartooniStS and the Republican ele
plant of today is the result
The tiger, which Is now UNIVERSAL,
accepted as IMPLYING Tammany Hall
was the work of Mast. He got tn,
idea from the head of tiger which
was the shield and symbol of the ole
volunteer FIRE company to whicl
Boss Tweed belonged, and whicl
Tweed carried with him to his offic
when he became the dictator of New
York City. Mast elaborated this hea
and finally he drew-just before cleo
ton day in 1871-a full fledged man
eating tiger-typfying Tamman
Hall, which helped to effect the over
throw ofTweed and the ring whicl
at that time controlled Tammany.
