Idaho Commercial Convention.

BOSE CITY, Idaho, Dec. IL Special tel
egram to The HERALD. The third and
closing day of the Idaho commercial con-
vention witnessed three sessions of this
vigorous body and a good deal of work
done The Columbian fair discussion de-
velOped the warmest interest in that great
enterprise, and plans were adopted to
bring the business men of the state into its
cordial support. Some disappointment
was felt that the convention did
not urge the repeal of the mer-
chants license system, but the move
ment was complicated by the fact
that the state mad pledged the receipts
from the licenses to the fund for the nav
ment of the state debt Neither did the
convention approve resolution to sell the
timber lands, though Mr. MCGEE, of New
York, earnestly plead that the timber sup
ply was the chief inducement to build new
railroads. The presence Of Mayor Kiesel.

Parnell Recaptures United Ireland.

DUBLIN, Dec H.. The struggle for pos
session of United Ireland assumed a new
phase this morning and again Parnell is in
possession The opponents of Parnell
succeeded last night in forcing an entrance
into the Office and destroying all the leaders
prepared by Leamy, appointed yesterday to
succeed Bodkin, acting manager, during the
absence OF William O'Brien. They left a
guard in possession with orders to resist
any attempt by Parnell or his friends to
enter the building. This morning Pernell
proceeded to the Office and with the assist
ance of crowd of his supporters, forced
open the doors and took possession. The
police witnessed the affair. but did not in
terfere. After he succeeded in recapturing
the Office, Parnell went TO the window and
addressed the crowd outside To guard
against further attempt of his opponents

dent. 1t is simply measure OF temporary
relief, but it would add about so, 900
to the circulating medium and DO it at once.
The plan is to issue certificates upon'the
fractional silver coins and the trade dollar
bullion now accumulated in the treasury
and its branches and useless for circula-
ton. The latest monthly statement gave
the fractional silver coin at S19,066, $50, and
the trade dollar bullion at 1866, 537, max
ing nearly $4,000, 600 in all. This silver is
in excess of that required for small change,
ard much of the fractional coin is abraded
and unfit for use in any event. The larger
portion of the latter, more than five sixths
of the whole, is in half dollars, for which
there is little demand. The proposition is
to issue silver certificates upon this
mass of coin and bullion at
the face value of the coin and
the coming value of the bullion and have
both coined into standard silver dollars as
the convenience OF the minis will permit.
Any loss due to the abrasion of the coins
could be paid out of the silver profit fund
arising under tae existing laws. Such a
measure as that proposed will require ac-
ton by Congress, but those who advocate
it believe that it could be passed through
both houses under a suspension of the
rules and that the silver men could not af
ford TO antagonize it with free coinage
amendment which might defeat any action.

to recapture the paper, the doors and Win
dows were bolted and barred. When the
Office was secured against intruders, all
conversation WITH outsiders was carried on
through the key hole. When Parnell made
the assault upon the Office this morning, he
was armed with crow-bar. which he used
IN forcing the front door,
After the office had been taken, Parnell
appeared at one of the windows of the
Office, shouting that he would tight the bat
tie to the last; that he would only allow
the country to decide tie issue, and that he
would submit to the dictation of no man.
He appeared to be fiercely excited, and to
have lost his usual self-control When in
company with McGaugh, solicitor for the
National league, he drove TO the railway
station to take the train for Cork, crowds
lined the streets and thewindowsof houses
were iilled with spectators. He was
cheered. Parnell received an address
from the local branch of the National
league and at Kildare he made u speech to
the crowd. At the station at Monastervan
there was an anti Parnell demonstration
when the train arrived, a priest leading
the opposition ana cheering tor O'Brien.
The clergy of north Kilkenny and Deanery

dacy of Sir John Pope Hennessey, parlia-
mentary nominee OF the anu Parnell fac

At Maliow majority of the crowd hooted
and jeered, only few cheers being raised
! for Parnell. Al Cork an immense crowd
gathered and Parneu was received with
out burst of enthusiasm. He mas been
invited to visit Limerick,
Before the tram left Mallow the crowd
was very violent and made repeated at
tempts TO enter Parnell's carriage. The
mob fourished sticks in the air and shout
ed, Down with the blackguard, u Down
with the ibertine," and similar cries
AT one time the mob seemed about to ac-
complish their purpose Of forcing then
way into the carriage. Parnell tore down
the hat rack from the side of the carriage
and prepared to defend himself MalloH

A Liberal-unionist Manifesto.

LONDON, Dec. 10.-The executive com
mittee of the Liberal Unionist association
has issued long manifesto, from which the
following are extracts "Parnell and the
Parnellites always have been an untrust-
worthy party, upon whose pledges no re-
lance could De placed and whose parlia-
mentary antecedents made them unfit and
unsafe allies for any great party.
mo distinction can be made between
Parnellites and ants. The latter con
doned his delinquencies and accepted his
policy and now sacrifice him as means of
extorting fresh terms for their allies The
mistake the British Home Rulers made
was in allowing themselves to be convinced
that either the methods or objects of the
Irish revolutionaries had changed. Neither
faction will ever accept homerule without
a mental reser walton for absolute separa-
ton and complete Irish independence"

Counselman and Peasley Remanded.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Judge Gresham this
morning decided the petition for habeas
corpus presented on behalf Of Charles
Counselman, the board of trade man, and
James G. Peasley, treasurer Of the Chicago,
Burlington 81 Quincy railroad company,
and held in both cases that the orders of
the district court adjudging them in con-
tempt, and that they should be fined and
imprisoned, were authorized. Counselmsn
ana Peasley were remanded to the marshal.
The attorney for petitioners will appeal
to the United States supreme court.
In his decision Judge Gresham finds that
Counselman can be made TO testify before
the grand jury, because he is fully pro-
tected agaiost punishment on his own evil
dence in section $50 of the revised statutes,
which prevents any evidence he may give
under such procedure from ever being
used to criminate him. In the Peasly
case the petitioner is placed in the same
attitude.
The force of Judge Gresham's ruling is
very great 1t is looked upon by the most
eminent lawyers as firmly establishing the
inter state commerce law by providing al
avenue by which to reach violators.

Western Wrapping Paper Mill Association

CHICAGO, Dec. IA meeting of the
Western Wrapping Paper Mill association
was held here to-day. The meeting decided
that the entire product of the mills in the
association should be sold by agents of the
organization instead of the statesmen of in
dividual mills All of the mills will shut
down one week the latter part of this
month. The association also voted an ad.
vance of cents per hundred pounds in the
price of all paper.
In discussing the shut down, Judge King
man, of Cedar Falls, Ia, stated that Iowa
had very strict law covering trusts and
he feared should the Iowans comply with
the spirit of such action as was proposed,
it would be construed as violation of the
law and the penitentiary stared unlawful
proceedings in the face.
Chairman Castle, however, said the deal
ers recently declared the organization
could not hold together thirty DAYS longer.
To teach the dealers lesson shut down
would be most effective, and one was &C
cordingly ordered.

Editor O'Brien on the Seizure.

New YORK, Dec. 11.-In conversation
with a representative of the Associated
Press regarding the United Ireland incident,
William O'Brien, editor of that paper, said
the dispatches stated that the edition
which Parnell attempted to suppress by
force was to contain a bitter attack on
him. O'Brien cannot believe this, as when
the controversy arose he cabled instruc-
tons to the manager that if the party de-
cided in favor of Parnell, to hand over the
paper to his authorized agent. If the de-
cision was against MIN, TO support the
party's views moderately and, see without
fail that nothing personally offensive to
Parnell should appear. He received a re-
ply that these instructions would be obeyed.
Referring to the statement that Parnell
acted by virtue OF his authority as di-
rector OF the company and that he owns d
majority of the stock. O'Brien said the
shares which stand nominally in Parnelfs
name are less than halt the capital of the
company. Parnell ceased to be director
five years ago for the express purpose of
guarding himself from pecuniary or
criminal responsibility for the paper, the
wisdom of which course was concurred in
by O'Brien and others. Those who forcibly
took possession of the United Ireland office
had not a shadow Of legal authority.
As to last nights reception from the Par
neilites, O'Brien could only surmlse that
some of the kind people of Dublin who mad
not forgotten the record of the paper allowed
their natural feelings to outrun their for
bearance.

The National Silver Committees Address.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE national
executive silver committee to-day issued
an address to Congress. The committee
believes the present money stringency and
the breaking down of credit on both sides
of the Atlantic is mainly if not entirely
due to the attempt to conduct the worlds
growing business on the narrowing basis
of gold as a single money standard, and
again appeals to Congress to delay no
longer the restoration of silver to un-
limited use as money with all the rights of
coinage and legal tender possessed by
gold. All attempts to relieve the present
situation by increasing the volume of credit
currency or multiplying credit expedience
can afford but temporary relief. With the
gold supply constantly diminishing, the
| population increasing and business rapidly
| expanding a recurrence Of the present
| situation must come, forcing periodical
adjustment of prices and business to the
ever contracting scale of single gold
standard. What Is needed is a broader
| basis OF primary money, constant and
adequate supply. Bimetallism must be
re-established. There never has been and
there is not likely to be in the
4 future too much gold. Silver must
supply the worlds needs for money.
|
United States alone for the next century
with the same per capita we now have.
will require the production of .he precious
metals as great as the entire production of
| the American continent since it's discovery
by Columbus. With the free coinage of
silver the difference between silver bullion
and silver coin must at once disappear and
end silver speculation. If everybody can
have silver metal converted into coin free
of cost at the rate of 314 grains to the
dollar, then of course there can be no diff
ference between the value of given weight
of silver in bullion or coin.
The committee believes the fear that
free coinage would destroy the parity of
gold and silver on the ration of Ib to / is
not well founded. Certainly this Can
not take place and continue permanently
until enough silver has been
coined to provide the United States
with our full distributive share
of the worlds money independently of gold
Our share at present is 81, 500, 0U0, 900, of
which at least $3.50, 600, 900 is gold. Silver
enough must be coined then 10 give the
United States fully 81, 500,0e0.O0O besides
gold and besides enough to take the place
of retired bank notes and supply the re-
quirements of our increasing population
and growing industries. Besides, the pro-
posed issue of new paper money viii tend
III the same degree TO displace gold that
silver will. Which then is best, metallic
money constant in supply, self regulating
and that needs no redemption, or additional
credit money TO be sometime redeemed in
, gold that becomes constantly dearer as the
demands upon it increase? The people de.
mand that their constitutional right to have
! recourse to both gold and silver for money
be restored to them.

The question which confronted Congress
was the ono of duty. In the several states
not only the right of individual citizens
were outraged, but the equality OF the
states in the matter of representation had
been denied. Thus Mississippi and South
Carolina, with vote of 19l, 1919 sent fourteen
members to the House of Representatives,
whlle Iowa, with a voting population OF
rs, 30 sent but eleven men. 'ghe people of
the country could not believe that the peo-
