The Reporter says fire occurred
at Blackfoot recently, the residence
of H. G. Dipple being entirely de-
stroyed, with all its contents, and his
youngest child, ten months old, was
burned to death. Mr.. Dipple was
away from home. Mrs. Dipple, leav-
ing her three children (the Oldest FIVE
years of age) in the house, went out
to drive some stock out OF the field.
When she came in view of the house
on her return it was a mass of flames.
Two of the children got out, but the
youngest, being unable to walk, was
burned to death. 1t is supposed that
one OF the children got hold of match
es and set fire to the bed. The BODY,
when found, was burned to a crisp,
the limbs being completely burned
from the body. Mr.. and Mrs. Dipple
were frugal, industrious people, and
were Just getting good start when
they met with this great misfortune,
says the Blackfoot Reporter. They
lost with the building, all their house
hold goods and $500 in money. The
mother has been out of her mind
nearly all the time since the affair.

An Injussire ~ silver Miners.

liver State.
BY order of the Director Of the
Mint, or Secretary Of the Treasury, or
both, the coinage of standard dollars
has been suspended at the Carson
and San Francisco MINIS. Before
this order was issued the producers
OF silver bullion could dispose Of it
at the London rate for silver, receiv-
ing their pay for the same in stand
ard dollars. The Treasury Depart
ment exhibited no squeamishness in
dealing with bullion producers, but
compelled them to take silver in pay
ment, while in its transactions with
the New York; Clearing House, con-
tractors and bond-holders, it invaria-
bly, paid such money as the banker,
contractor or bond-holder desired.
one set Of rules apparently having
been adopted for dealings with silver
miners, and another for capitalists
and contractors.
The excuse for the suspension of
silver coinage on this coast, where
silver is produced, is that when the
bullion is coined the Government has
to pay the expense of transporting
the dollars East, whereas the bullion
has t. be sent to the Philadelphia
Mint, where standard dollars are now
coined, at the expense of the produc-
er. This is grossly unjust to the sill
yer producers of the Pacific Coast,
who have to dispose Of their bullion
at the price which London brokers
plaee upon it, less the cost of trans
porting it to Philadelphia. At pres
ent the price of bar silver, .925 fine,
is about 81 0o per ounce. When
coined, this silver is worth over 81 50
per ounce, and the Government has
realized profit of about S20,000.0OO
on the coinage of standard dollars
alone since the Silver act of 1878
went into operation. The Govern
ment, therefore, can much better af-
ford to pay for the transportation of
silver coin from Carson and San Fran.
cisco east, than the miner, who has to
sell his bullion at from 16 to Is per
cent. discount; and if the Treasury
Department was not run as shack
action" to the New York Clearing
House Association, which is doing all
IN its power to depreciate the value of
silver IN expectation of having the
act authorizing it's coinage repealed,
1T would run the Carson and San.
Francisco MINIS steadily on silver,
and encourage mining by giving pro-
ducers home market for their bull
ion.
Democratic representatives in Con-
gress have been the firm friends of
silver in every effort to remonetize it
since its decentralization by the Re.
publicans in 1878, but Democratic
administration, under the cloak of
economy, is endeavoring, and SO far
with marked success, to undo all that
Democratic Congress has done in
that direction.
