silver.

Anew York journal, which at times
has been apprehensiye that flooding
the country with standard silver dol
lars might result in financial crisis,
if not absolute ruin, now takes more
hopeful view Of the situation. 1t APP
pears that standard silver dollars are
not SO dangerous to the country S
prosperity as the Eastern organs OF
&apital at ono time thought they might
become. The capacity of the coun-
try for receiving these dollars has
been underestimate. They go South
and West, where they become quite
useful in settling small accounts. 1t
is also said that silver bullion is be-
coming more scarce in the market.
The consumption of silver in the arts
and for manufacturing purposes is
constantly increasing, while the pro-
duction is as steadily diminishing. 1t
is pretty well known now that the
silver scare Of ten or twelve years ago
was greatly assisted by Munchausen
reports of the richness and extent of
the Nevada silver mines. These
mines are now producing less silver
than at any time, and the prospects
is that the yearly product will dimin-
ish in the future. If the Government
keeps cool, the silver question will
settle itself. The moment there is a
material rise in the market value of
silver bullion, nations which have
shown desire to get rid Of their sill
yer will change their policy San

RARE SPECIMEN FOR NEW OR.
LEANS.
Katchum Keystone.

On the 28th of August last Mr..
Schwartz, OF Sawtooth, an old bear
hunter, succeeded in trapping alive a
huge bruin Of the silver-tipped spe-
cies, and safely Gagged it after repeat
ed efforts lasting through a period Of
several days. This is the only bear
Of the kind ever caught in the coun
try that any one is aware Of. He is
king of rare species, and had be-
come familiar to the people in that
vicinity through his repeated raids,
the immense footprints he left be-
hind him, said to be little less than a
bushel basket. He was known as
tsSawtooth jack" and was the reoog-
nized monarch Of the Upper Salmon
valley. For three consecutive sea-
sons every possible effort and strate-
gy was exerted to capture "Jack, =
but he was aware that he was wanted
and kept close watch for trap-signs.
Salmon were scarce the past summer
and "Jack" resorted to the slaughter
house offal for sustenance wherewith
to keep his huge frame in good con-
dition, and one dark night while fool
ing around the aforesaid butchers
corral, he s'put his foot in it." When
the people of Sawtooth and surround
ing country heard that "Jack" was
entrapped, they turned out, to man,
woman and child, and helped to cage
him, after which they had banquet
and torchlight procession.
ssSawtooth Jack" is believed to be
~ years past of age and pulls down
the hay scales to the 100 notch, and
takes in sheep for breakfast with
great relish. He leaves devoted
wife and two all children to mourn
him in his untimely taking off, with a
with long, cold winter staring them
in the face.

UNI to-day, and from here, in charge
of Fritz Schwartz and his captor, goes
to HALEY, Bullion, Bellevue ond 9TH
er points below, and will also be ex-
hibited at prominent places all the
way down to New Orleans, where he
will be assigned prominent corner
with the Idaho exhibit.
Mr.. Schwartz has fortune in his
"catch." Every person between
Woo1 River and New Orleans should
see the old Sawtooth guerrilla and
the first settler of the upper Salmon
country.
Goodbye "Jack." We will not
shake hands with you. We are only
too glad you are going, for you have
been an unholy terror to the whole
Sawtooth country for the past FIVE
years.

A special dispatch to the Silver
State says: Latestreturns from Ohio
reduced Republican majority to about
10000, the farming districts offsetting
Republican gains in the cities. The
Congressional count now stands ten
each, with one district doubtful. Re-
turns from West Virginia come in
slowly, and some claim possibility
of Republican success, though the
State is conceded to the Democrats
by a small majority.

Henry L. Biossat, Business Manager
TO OUR READERS

We have secured the service,
Of Mr. f. N Haines, a gentleman
of considerable newspaperial expe.
rience, who will assist rs in the
editorial and local conduct of the
DEMOCRAT. Any favors extended
to Mr.. Haines in his search after
news, will be duly appreciated by
the management of the DEMOCRAT.
Duties in the office have long pre-
vented us from giving that atten-
ton to the DEMOCRAT which we
wished, and which the old-time
prestige of this paper merits. For
many years this paper has been a
welcome visitor to the homes of hun
dreds of people in this and adjoin-
ing parishes, and its Democracy has
never been questioned. During the
troubled days Of the War the DEM
ocRAT stood frm-stood by this
people unwavering and fearless.
Now, we propose to endeavor to
secure all our old friends down to q
man, and with such help as we have,
we hope and earnestly expect to
make the paper as good as it was
in its palmiest days. Our motto
will be Democratic first, last and
all the time, and under all cireum-
stances.

OF hope and an earnest Christian,
there were seemingly many years
of usefulness before Father Le-

signed to duty at Many, Sabine

years, and was then transferred to
Bayou Gle, in charge of Mexican
congregation. He remained there
for some time, doing good work
and was much beloved by his par
