The GERMAN REICHsTAG gave the Emperor Will
liam terrible jolt two years ago and is endeavoring
to stick the sword in his ribs again by curtang his
powers. The Reichstag is maneuvering to pass a
law which will bring the Imperial Chancellor under
the direct surveillance of that body If such
actment is made-which is very acknowledgement
William will not cut much more of figure in Ger
man affairs than crossroads justice of the peace
does in craftsmanship in this country. But the bill
must be passed over the Emperor's veto and that is
extremely dubious and doubtful. Germany is an
other country in which it's people eat black bread
without butter, fall down ON their knees and thank
the Kaiser for the little they get out of life Nearly
everything produced by the masses goes for pomp,
power, pageantry and powder.

KING GEORGE of Great Britain is going along
just the same as he had always been the ruler of
the British. There squally times ahead in Eng
land, owing to industrial depression and the heavy
taxes laid upon the people. More frequently now
than ever before are heard the mutterings OF the
English working classes and now and then the pre-
dction is made that King George V will be the last
of the British hereditary rulers The same thing
was said before Queen Victoria died and that she
would be the last of the dynasty. The British peo-
pie are accustomed to the trappngs, wrappings, tim
sci and godbrad of royalty together with its ancient
heraldic pageantries and will be loath to give
them up Excessive taxes are eating out the SUBJ
stance of the masses of the citizens of England Scot
land Ireland and Wales. When the tax rate gets
too high for the stolid Brisher it may be the French
revolution over again.

IT is BELIEVED that the agitation going on among
the people relative to the high cost of living will
create considerable confusion among the craft of pol
ticans at the next general election. History shows
it makes no difference who is in power. Evils are
always at hand. During the past twelve or fourteen
years the Lord has been benefcent silent partner
of the party in power. The crops have been album
dant and there have been nopestiences epidemics
But when the people prosperous the game Of grab
goes until the bottom of the barrel is reached and
then there is boiler that is heard from ocean to
ocean. The people patient, but when once arous-
ed their fury is wild and uncomfortable After a
spasm, things cool off until the next outbreak.

The MAGAZINES and leading newspapers are de-
voting more space in the aggregate to prison reform
than any other one subject. There two sides to
the subject of the indeterminate sentence which
seems to be popular with prison officials. The con-
census of opinion among prisoners seems to be that
they prefer the straig ht sentence-then they know
when they are going to get OUT
Chief Kohler of Cleveland, is advocating an
other plan, which to strike the fancy of that
great newspaper the New York World. It. is the
golden rule prison plan: To turn new leaf
and never to turn it back, or to remain behind the
bars all his life"
Then The World goes on to say:
Every convicted criminal in this country would
face these alternatives the plan to be generally
adopted which Golden Rule Chief Koher of Ceve-
land presented to police heads in national convention
at Birmingham, Ala Mr.. Kohler would abolish the
fixed term of imprisonment which makes freedom
the issue of a certain date He would have ever
lasting good conduct the sole price of liberty. So
he contends would society be protected at the same
time that punishment would fulfil what should be
its prime mission of benefting the criminal.
Under the Kohler scheme court of rehabi-
tation would be constituted to which convict should
appeal when he felt that he could prove his reform
ed state. His prison record would go toward the
making breaking of his case; nothing short of the
whole truth concerning his BIRTH training, career
crime state Of mind and intentions would serve to
complete the evidence. In case of repeated returns
to restraint denoting established habits of crime, the
court of rehabilitation would refuse to act.
"The plan is simple. In suggestion it is ideal.

ALA. These are the two key

Australia. These are the two key
notes of an English girls life
politics and sport they are
both INDUCED in with that clean
ness and vigor which are only pos
sible through health Of body and
mind, with perhaps n accompa
niment Of rustic dullness.
By nature the American girl is
colder and less emotional than the
English girl, and her attitude to-
wards men is one Of unfaiIing good
comradeship Yet at the same
time girls are considered by the
American men as race apart, who
must be placed upon a pedestal
and propitiated by much attention
and many offerings. In a sense,
the chivalric instinct is almost too,
deeply implanted in the Americans
man, and in many of his ideas con-
corning women he lie, although he
would be Mortified to be told So,
curiously medieval. And here again
we come upon one of those deep
lines of cleavage which divides the
American ideals for womanhood
from the English. In England,
before marriage, the man and the
girl see comparatively little of each
other, but after marriage the COM
mon life is necessity and the wom-
an must be prepared to study his,
interests and to make them more
or less her own. In America be-
fore marriage, the man and the girl
are excellent friends and comrades
enjoying much freedom in their
platonic or social intercourse latter
marriage the two seem to live sep
arate lives. The man is wholly
wrapped up in his business, and
the woman when her work in the
honse is over, devotes most of her
energies to the pursuit of social
pleasures. In fact they cannot
really be said to lead a common
life. To large extent this is the
mans fault; for as rule he con-
siders his wife such delicate OBJ
ject that she is, so to speak, put
under glass case, and all cares
and worries and even rightfnl re-
sponsibities are carefully kept from
her. She takes no active part in
the mans everyday life, for she is
often completely ignorant of his
financial position and is absolutely
dependent upon him for every cent.
The idea of marriage settlements
or a definite allowance is abhorrent
to the American mind; and yet.
when all is said and done, the
American woman, with all her In
dependence, is the most dependent
of women; for is not he who holds
the pnrsestrings after all the real
master?
| It 8 e m 8 wellnigh impossible
that with all her wonderful bril-
liancy and energy of mind, the
American woman should fail in
the future to bring her greattalents
to bear on national life. At present
these talents seem largely wasted;
| but there are signs that the awaken
| ing is at hand, and one cannot but
believe that it will not be long be-
fore the American girl and woman
awaken to the factof the important
part they have to play in the So
cial welfare of their country.

Reflections.

A subject often talked about on
both sides of the Atlantic is Eng
lish and American girlhood, and no
little amount of difference of opin-
ion is manifested one way or an
other by the debaters.
In England it is the boy Of the
family who is first considered; in
America it is the girl. Every rough
ness is smoothed from her path;
she is, as rule. spared all respon-
sibility, and If necessary, innumer-
able sacrifices are made in order
that her girlhood should be as gay
and az free from care as possible.
In short, her life is to be one per-
petual round of enjoyment with
practically few or no serious de-
mands upon her time.
The spheres OF girl-life are sharp
ly defined. Thus he college"

quently encountered. Adaptability
being one of the keynotes of her
character, coupled with an unusu-
ally quick and observant mind, she
is a delightful companion. In her
thirst for "being up-to-date,'' she
is equally interested in clothes and
culture. Clubs such as the Review

with neatly worded lozenges con.

sense of duty to herself and to her
hostess which causes her to exert

to an article which appeared in

we referred to some bottom
less" land in this valley, and ov-
er which the railroad survey
runs. We contended that q road
bed on the bar nearer town, in
the long run would be cheaper
and better than building over
swampy land. This road has al
read had an example in building
from Junction toward Salmon
over swamp land, and nearly 5
miles of it's roadbed, it is said.
has sunk. Most all of the land
in this valley along the river, is
as good farming land as can be
found anywhere, but there few
small spots that are swampy, and
would cause railroad consid-
cradle expense to build q solid
roadbed. No one can well dis
pute these facts, but all the farm
ing land along the river is the
best that can be found.

B. B. Barnes, of Challis, gave
a warm talk in Mackay one day
last week, and the Mackay pap

is relative to the G. & P. rail
road. Mr.. Barnes is reported to
have said: "The right-of-w
agent for the G. & P. railroad is
on the ground, and contractors
are moving their construction
camps up the river from Salmon
CITY," The best informed citi-
zens here on railroad movements
know nothing relative TO the
above. Such statements as this
is a. detriment. In the first
Mace. no one has seen the right
of-way agent, nor has any one
heard of foot of right-of-way
being secured in Custer county.
And no one has heard OF any
construction camp moving up
Salmon river. The facts are
that last fall a gang of surveyors
under Mr.. D. Wheeler, run a
survey from Salmon City up the
Salmon river two miles beyond
the mouth of Yankee Fork, when
tbey ceased work on account OF
snow. This spring two small
outfits of surveyors have been IN
and about Challis doing some
surveying. The above survey
ors were supposed to be working
for the G. & P. railroad. Thus
far this is all the Challis people
know about the extension OF the
railroad-anything else is merely
unconfrmed reports. We all
hone and believe the road Will oe
built to Challis, but the truth is
we known nothing about it.

The accidental killing of G.
Lee Gibson at Gold Circle on
Wednesday last was most dis
tressing affair. He had been
a prominent man in mining cir
cles long time. He was one of
the men that first made a great
success at Mercur and was just
ly held as one of the foremost
mill men in all this region.
We are not sure, but we think
he was born on the Comst0ck.
His father, Samuel ellison, was
long a resident of Virginia City,
always engaged in mining and
prospecting, and the boy follow
ed the same lead. He was in
the very prime of life, in the
very perfection of his useful
ness, and he was sorely needed.
His father and mother are old
people and the death of their
son is an overwhelming blow to
them. Then his widow is left
desolate, as are also his one
brother and seven sisters.
He was a most accomplished
man in his profession. He was
very much loved by his associ-
ates. He had gone to Gold Cir.
Gle to put in running order new
mill for the Rex compony. and
was caught in a running belt.
He was drawn between the belt
and the pulley and crushed to
death. He was a most useful
and much needed man, and every
circumstance connected with his
life work was honorable. His
tragic close is most pitiable.
May the All Compassionate com
