Letters from Washington state
that. at the instant of the Union
Pacific Railway Managers, a sulfici-
ent plot of land will be withdrawn
from the Fort Hall Indian Reser-
vation to make room for large
town which the company expects
to have at Pocatello, the junction
of the Utah Northern and Oregon
Short Line systems Of railways.
The reported plan of action is,
first to have the land required with
drawn from the Indians and declar-
ed open to settlement. Manager
Galloway will then cause the entire
tract to be entered, and an order
will be issued making Pocatcllo
the supply-point for the dual rail
way system above named. While
this will be doing thousands of
tons of steel rails now contracted
for will arrive from the East; and
soon thereafter large gangs Of men
will be put to work widening the
track Of the Utah Northern to the
usual Standard broad gauge of the
Union Pacific system. When this
is done the shops at Eagle Rock
and Shoshone will probably be con-
solidated at Pocatello, and the
result will be as zine and extensive
railway workshops as can be found
anywhcre.-Timcs.

THE DEFENSE cF. SILVER.


In the Senate, January 18th,
Vance called up Beck's silver reso-
luton and addressed the Senate on
it. He said he had heard many
cases argued in schoolboy clubs
and in crossroads debating socie-
ties; he had heard pleas made
from the tail end Of gingerbread
carts and had read endless plati-
tudes in the Congressional Record,
but he lad never met or seen n
worse abuse of logic or feebler
attempt to outrage common sense
than the arguments used by Our
bankers, bondhol,ers and gold
men generally in the discussion of
this silver question. The rapacity
of avarice, he said was so repug-
nant TO the moral sense of man
kind that it always sougth to dis
guisc its ugliness by assuming the
garb of virtue. So the bondholder
and banker told us they wanted
silver coinage stopped not for their
own advantage-Oh, no but for
the shake of the poor workingman,
whom they preferred to their own
chiefest joy.
THE HOUSE.
Regain took the floor with q long
and carefully prepared speech up
on the financial question, advocat-
ing the double standard of value,
condcming the national banking
system and arguing in favor of APP
plying portion Of the surplus in
Treasury to the gradual payment
of the public debt. lie earnestly
combatted the proposition to sus-
pend the coinage of the silver dol
lar, maintaining that such course
would only have the effect of max
ing a few more millionaries and of
adding largely to the army of
tramps and paupers. He profoundly
regretted that there should be diff
ference within the Democratic party
on the silver question. The Presi-
dent in his message and the r5ecrc-
tary of the Treasury in his report
had taken statesmanlille view of
many questions, but on this ques-
ton he could not agree with them.
He must follow the traditions and
principles of the Democratic party.
