Saws the Denver Tribune: "Ihe
cold bugs and otner enemies of silver
n the East are determined to force
silver to SO low point that people
will be compelled to abandon ITS use
as money. Perhaps it is just as well
that this should occur as early as pos

arrive. When the influence OF this
suicidal policy becomes far reaching,
and the angry waves roll back from
the immoyable mountains of the wes-
tern states and territories, and their
blighting effects are felt by the mas
SEES Of the people in those sections
where they had their origin, then a
reyulsion of sentiment will spring
into active life, and bitter experience
will teach the people the lessons that
sound arguments and public policy
are now powerless to inculcate. The
people of the great West will feel the
first force Of the blow, but the aggre-
gated brunt OF the disaster will recoll
upon the masses in the prairie and

this: Old Uncle Nick Andrews was
doubtless one of the most ardent
members Of the late Nevada legisla-
ture. Every bill introduced by we'll

picion, and never failed to suggest
an amendment. One morning, after
nights carousal, he entered the leg

asking divine aid. The old man took
chew of tobacco and listened atten-
lively until the chaplain closed his
petition with an effective recitation
Of the Lords prayer.

then sent for Mr.. Harry Smith, the journal clerk
of the House, who is the best authority on parlia-

members have not been willing to forego one of
their dearest privileges The enactment of the
Bowman law. which authorizes the transfer of
claims from Congress and the departments to
the Court of Claims, was an important step in

Western contemporary sent out circular in

subjects as tariff reform, silver the abolition of
the internal revenue and the like, MIR. Lowry
wrote back frankly: 'Have been so busy trying

the right of the center aisle and about ten seats

Grant sat with the white-haired merchant, one
Sunday and listened attentively to Mr.. Beech

large audience divided their attention largely
between the preacher, the warrior and the
merchant. At the close of the services
they tarried and kept their eyes on the Clafin
pew. Many stopped to shake hands The church
seemed to empty slowly. Church is dismissed, {"

Washington Special
A Sunday paper prints an extraordinary social
scandal. In substance A young man who
moves in the very highest circles of Washington
life and whose father holds an exalted position
under the government, has made himself sud-
denly famous. He had been in the habit of call
ing very frequently on a young lady who resides
on Connecticut avenue. This young lady wore
cluster diamond ring up to a week ago, when it
suddenly disappeared One evening, just after
the hero of this romance had left, she discovered
that the cluster diamond ring. worth $780, was
gone She Immediately reported the fact to her
mother, and that lady told somebody else, ETC.
1t soon got to the ears of a gentleman friend of
the family; whereupon he set to work to unravel
the mystery. The next day he came to the
house all in furry. and said to the young lady
he knew who had the ring, but refused to tell
who at present.
Said the dude detective: 'You are to be at
Mrs Judges reception tonight, believer
''Yes"
swell, will show you who has your ring"
She went. and they all went. including the
young man who was the last person leaving the
house before the discovery of the loss of the
ring. Soon after their arrival at the reception
the friend told the young lady to watch the sus-
pected young man. when he should take him off
in a corner and talk to him. She did So and
saw Mr.. g. turn deathly pale and bow his head
at something being said: Then he handed out a
piece of yellow paper, grabbed his hat and made
a break for the door. He was allowed to depart
without molestation.
The young lady became the happy possessor Of
$50 pawn ticket for her diamond ring Her
friend said he walked up to the young man, &C
cused him, ard told him he was seen taking Miss
Us. ring off the mantle-piece. AT this he cow
cred. confessed, and gave up the pawn ticket
He has left the town for more congeniai climes
and the young lady is happy again.

City Attorney Denny's Resignation.

Mayor-e elect Denny said to Journal reporter
yesterday that reference to his proposed resig-

was little more definite than was consistent
with his purpose at the time of the interview.
1t is true his inclination led him to resign before
the lst of January. but he had not then made
up his mind as to the date. He learned that a
petition was in circulation reqesting him to re-
sign, and that it had been signed by many
councilmen and aldermen who had voted for
him as a candidate for the city attorneyship
Yesterday majority OF these had been OBJ
tanned, and it is very likely that partially In an
ewer to their request he will send in his letter Of
resignation at the next meeting of the Board of
Aldermen.
