THE LOST IDOL.

The worshippers and syco-
plants of the Golden Calf are
struck dumb and made tired
with the vivid and startling
and unanswerable foundations
and statements of our giants
of finance, who made such a
bold fight for the masses who,
half impoverished and land and
stock poor are making such a
desperate scramble for gold to
live or pay their debts. The
tall form and eagle eye of Gen
eral Warner with his terrific
map of statistics and facts and
his wonderful logic, command
their respect if not their con-
science and reason. The
grand figure Of the modern
Moses, Senator Stewart, the
picture of a wonderful energy
in repose, in the full vigor of a
picturesque and noble manhood
wins the respect of the gold
bugs if he cannot convince
them by an array of logic and
ideas which show the inexhaus-
table fertility of his mind and
his vigilant powers of research.
Even the modern Brutus
whose fine Italian hand assas-
sinated the Silver Dollar must
crawl away before the lance of
this bold Lochinvar. But
what shall we sey of the elo-
quent and bovine laws of Ne
vada, the music of whose deep
resounding voice, like the roar
ing of the ocean and the fires
of whose dark eyes are ire
sistable in their enthusiasm
Such men are born leaders,
and they will brake the ma
chimes ofboth parties and over
come the gold trust money
power by their bold and deter
mined fight against the con
hscation and conspiracles OF
this gold trust.
The gold monopolists in
their scramble for gold here
abroad see that their days are
numbered and that the conhs-
cation and liquidation of last
fall has taught the people OF
this country sad lesson they
will not soon forget. The
gold trust must go down with
the Barings.

This season is prolific in report
ed rediscoveries Of lost mines.
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona
have lately furnished several such
cases, and now in Oregon the fam
GUS Lost Cabin mine is thought to
have been found. Usually these
reports are finally discredlted, but
once in a while real lost mine is
relocated. At the same time the
traditions about these old mines
are likely to be magnifed as the
years 60 by, until the stories about
them becomes fabulous, as with the
Gunsight lode, which was variously
supposed to be somewhere in Utah,
Nevada or Arizona, the Joe DAILY
of Idaho, the Narranja al of Old
Mexico, and many others which
every old miner will recall.

Water for Hens in winter.

One OF the reasons why hons do
not lay so many eggs In winter is lack
OF water. In very cold weather hens
will stick TO their perches nearly all
day. aud not come down to either eat
or drink until half starved. Then,
probably, they find the water frozen
over, and eat snow instead. No won

grow light In weight and their egg
production is postponed indefinitely.
Let it always be remembered that
when a hen suffers lack OF food or
drink. the eggs which she contains
are absorbed to sustain life. and as
they are at this stage very small. they
are dearer feed than eggs fully grown
cooked and prepared for their use.
