The Silver Convention.

The national silver convention
assembled in St. Louis last Tues.
day with great enthusiasm. Three
hundred and fifty delegates were
present, besides large number OF
spectators. General A. Warner, OF
Ohio, was made permanent chair.
man of the convention. Upon be.
ing introduced to the convention
by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the
chairman said:
THAT no subject interested him
more than the. silver question.
Since Germany, in 1872, followed
b. other European powers, and
partly by the United States, demon
etized and limited silver as money,
the question had been vital issue,
and in the discussion the bimetal-
lists had won victory. The attempt
to change the money standard from
gold and silver alone was worse
than a mistake, was almost crime
The demonstration of silver had
made the gold standard different
than before that act. The demon
citation was in fact great crime,
and its revocation was now an i'm
portant question of the world. The
people had suffered more from bad
monetary legislation than from any
other cause. The first duty was
the stability of the finances. What
was asked was restoration of the
money standard which existed for
ages: that silver be placed on an
with gold, and at the same
ratio which has existed. 1t was the
duty of the country to restore what
should never have been disturbed,
and this convention had assembled
here to decide upon the best meth
DDS to be pursued in reaching the
desired end
II. B. Chamberlain, president of
the Denver Chamber Of Commerce,
Oh behalf of that body presented a
solid silver gavel to Chairman
Warner. A committee on resolu-
tons was appointed, and after the
that there would he
a reception at the Merchants Elk
change in the evening the conyen-
lion adjourned.

ago. His counsel showed that
Hope was brought into this state
from California compulsorily and
put in Auburn prison, and upon his
release from prison was immediate
ly re-arrested on a requisition from
Delaware, whereas he should have
been allowed u reasonable time to
return to California after his re-
lease. Governor Hill now holds
with Hopes counsel, and says the
arrest was premature. The gov
ernor takes 1000 words to substan-
tiate and explain his opinion. He
says the point of law is an inter-
esting one, in regard to which there
have been many conflicting decis-
ion, and Hope must be discharged
and given an opportunity to return
to California if he so desired"

What the New States Want.

The representatives elect from the
four new states had conference in
Washington last week for the pur.
pose of securing harmonious action
at the coming session of Congress.
They decided to act as a unit on
all measures affecting their inter
ests. They will favor an increased
coinage of silver, liberal appropria-
tons for river and harbor improve
ments, and the taxation of lead ore
importations. They will ask for
places on the committees of terri
tories, public lands, Indian affairs.
coinage, mines and mining anu
rivers and harbors. Their prefer
ence for speaker is for western
man with liberal ideas.

Chief ustice Weir.

The Statesman of the 26th, in re-
ferring to the change of the Chief
Justiceship of Idaho, pays the fol-
lowing deserved tribute to the able
predecessor of Judge Beatty "Chiet
Justice Weir will leave the office
with universal respect-indeed our
statement might be much stronger,
and we should say he leaves the
bench not only with the universal
respect of the people of Idaho, but
with their warm regard; and the
wish is as universal and warm that
he shall remain citizen of Idaho. +"
A merited and BETTING compliment.
Appreciable from the fact that it
comes through the accredited lead
ing republican journal of the ter
ritOry.

A Rich Gold Strike.

In our last weeks issue we pub
lished an account of a recent i'm
portan: gold find in North Carolina
where it was reported that they
were taking out the yellow metal
by the bushel. Now another rich
gold strike is announced by way Of
a special press dispatch from Ish
penlng, Michigan, dated November
24th, which says: About two hun
dred pounds of quartz, carrying
gold at the rate Of $4,000 ton,
vas taken from the main shaft OF
the Michigan gold mine last night,
Assays Of three samples Of quartz
give $21 .62l. $51 .553 and $lO.95S
per ton" The quaint saving ,ha,
gold is wherever YOU find itn is
apparently being demonstrated.

Wants it Put to q Vote.

Isaac H. Vincent, who defaulted
for 100000 while state treasurer of
Alabama, about five years ago, and
went to Mexico, subsequently be-
ing captured and brought back to
serve fifteen years sentence in the
penitentiary, will submit a strange
proposition to the legislature next
spring. He will ask that body to
allow the people Of Alabama to
vote on whether or not he shall be
pardoned. If the majority vote
no." he will serve out the remain
der of his fifteen years without
murmer, but if the people say "yes,"
he wants to be released. Vincent.
under the circumstances, will prob
ably be elected to serve out his term
of Office.

Reckless MANAGEMENT.

The Graham mill and other property,
owned by an English company, and sold
at Sheriff s sale last Saturday, went for
next to nothing. The mill, one Of the
finest in the territory. put up at a cost OF
$3.50, 200, was sold for $500, aud the
thirteen mines, tramway, buildings and
other property, brought only $500. 1t is
said that this English company has ex-
pended, all told, in that camp, in the
neighlorhood Of $1,000, 000.-World.
This is an another instance of re-
markably bad management. mon
ument of folly and an ill-advised
operation. 1t is only another illus
tration of the folly Of constructing
costly reduction mills and smelt-
ing furnaces before mining proper
ties are sufficiently opened to ascer-
tain by development work whether
or not they possess merit and value
enough to warrant the expenditure
of such large sums Of money for
the erection Of colossal works. All
such absurd, and to all intents and
purposes, visionary operations, have
i'll measure been the cause Of re-
tarding the mining industry, intim-
idating capital and bankrupting
unsuspecting promoters of mining
enterprises more than any other
thing connected with the mining
business.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The 51st SESSION of the Congress
of the United States will assemble
next Monday, December I'd. The
first important move that will be
made in the House of Represents
tives will be the selection of a
speaker. There are FIVE prominent
members seeking the coveted place
viz: Reed Of Maine. Mckinley OF
Ohio. Henderson Of Iowa, Burrows
of Michigan and Cannon Of Illinois
Four from the West and one from
the East, and the way the race is
shaping, it is the field against the
East. The attitude of two Of the
aspirants for the position, Reed and
Mckinley, upon the silver question.
is we'll known. It is also we'll known
that Mr.. Reed is an open and noto-
rious enemy to the use of silver as
a legal tender money; and that his
standing is unfriendly to the sup
porters of silver in the south and
to the position held by the silver
producing states and the territories
of the west. While on the other
hand it is a matter Of record that
Major Mckinley is as conspicuous
ly the friend of silver az Mr.. Reed
is its enemy. During all the stages
Of legislation upon this important
subject, from 1877z78 down to the
present time, Major Mckinley has
been an honest and earnest worker
for the reconciliation Of silver and
a faithful advocate of the rehabili-
tation of the silver dollar. There
fore, in the strife as to who shall
occupy the chair as the presiding
officer of the next House of Repre-
sentatives, it ought to be an easy
matter for the representatives of
the South and West to decide. The
question presented to the peoples
representatives in Congress will be

The People to Select,

Congressman Roswell P. Flower
Of New York intends Offering to
the next Congress a bill, or con-
stitutional amendment, that is de-
signed to bring about a most radi-
cal change in the present system of
presidential appointments. He pro-
poses to effect such change in our
laws that the people all over the
country shall select their own post
masters, collectors of internal rev.
enue, custom house officials and
other federal officers. He says pol.
itics are everything in federal APP
pointments, whereas politics should
not be considered at all. The gov
eminent should be a business ma
chine and the idea of local self
government should be carried out
to the fullest extent if we are to
preserve the ideas on which our gov
eminent was founded. The election
Of federal office holders every four
years would do away with the Office
holding class entirely. No change
need be made in details of office
holding. Holders should be kept
under bonds as usual, and the gov
eminent should see that the bonds
are paid in case of dereliction.
E ections such as have been describ-
ed form the only method of making
a.gov eminent of the people, for the
people and by the people. The
proposed change is to give the Pres
ident more time to consider ques-
tons of state and to relieve him
+ ON the ofice-vending business.
