A DANGEROUS PROPOSITION.

The members Of the Legislature
are the repre- sentat,ves Of the people.
The Statesman believes that Tn
amendment should be submitted to
the people whereby al future amend
ipents to the Constitution should be
made by the Legislature. The ma
jority in that body to eif-ct the
sm-ndment should be sufficiently
large to insure the safety Of the
change.-Boise Statesman.
This is most extraordinary propo-
sition, and one pregnant with danger.
The Legislature is now Republican,
the ensuing session may be Demos
cratic, the next Farmers Alliance -
and 90 on. If the Sta.esman's propo
sition is adopted, each Of these ruling
bodies for the time being might, and
of course would, make radical changes
in the Constitution. This would be
very inconvenient and dangerous.
Tho only safe way in wh;ch the
Constitution should be amended is in
the way usual in American common
weaI,hs, by proposing the amendments
IN the Legislature at one session, and
submitting them to the people at the
next general election.

THE OWNERSHIP OF STOLEN BUL-
LION.

A policeman having just captured
some bullion "planted" by the thieves
in Salt Lake City, the Times of that
city. in reporting the affair, states the
thief who stole it stripped the bullion
OF the smelter stamp, thus making
the ownership one of proof"
The ownership of bullion cannot be
proved. Some years ago the Con.
Virginia assayer stole some bullion
which was captured in California. The
ablest detectives were employed. 1t
was proven that the assayer had stolen
the bullion in small Jumps that
splashed out of the melting pct into
the ashes; that no had taken these
Jumps or nuggets away from time to
time to the cellar under his dwelling
house, where he melted them into
bars; that the bullion carried the ex-
act proportion Of gold aud silver of
the Con. Virginia bullion and the
subsequent attempts to dispose of 1t
we're traced directly to the assayer.
But Notwithstanding all the wealth
and influence Of the bonanza firm the
assayer was declared net guilty.
The law did not require the assaye:
to disclose where he obtained tn,
bullion, aud he not only escaped scot
free, but the bullion was awarded hin
besides.

or FREE TRADE AND
PROTECTION.

Scranton pa Journal.l
Under Democratic free trade the
farmer paid So for an axe to chop his
wood with; under protection lie can
buy the same axe for IS cents. Steel
under the good old Democratic days
cost 5000 q ton; now under protec.
ton it costs $34 a ton, and this coun>
try takes the lead If all others in the
production Of steel. The howl about
taxing the people by protecting home
industries is nonsense. There is not
a man in Scranton township that can
tell or feel the amount that he is taxed
t, protect Americans and labor. The
truth Of it is. it has as a whole greatly
reduced prices. a suit of clothes
under Democratic free trade that you
paid $25 to $50 for, you buy to-day
under protection for from $40 to SIS.
The fact that this couLtry and all
classes OF people IN the country have
prospered more than any other coun
try or people on the globe is an aryu-
meht in favor of our wav of dong
business that is mcndabIe, and
which everlas.ingly salts Democracy
and free trade. For prints that cost
you 20 cents per yard under free
trade you buy to day for from 5 to 10
cents per yard. You may travel over
the entire ground aud you will f"d
that the plan of keeping house by
, ourselves instead Of boarding with
England is a paying scheme. The
, ideas Ct protection were handed down
by such men as Lincoln, Seward,
Sumner, Greeley, Col!ax, Grant, Lo.

Conkling and Harrison. Free trade
is handed down by Calhoun, Toombs,
. Floyd, Wise, JEFF Davis, Brecken.
ridge, VOORHEES,, Hendricks, Ga isle
aud Cleveland. The doctrine of free
trade had conspicuous place in the
: Confederate constitution. The South
: had no fears Of foreign cheap labor
under the benie h'ed days Of slavery,
hence their notions of free trade.
Protection was instituted and fosiered
by patriotic statesmen who will ever
: live in the hearts Of true Americans,
while free trade is twin to and born
: with the doctrine of States Rights
and received new life and vigor from
the hot beds of secession, and has
!. been famed ever since by those who
sought to destroy the country. Pro-
trctionists need not be ashamed Of
their ancestry.

TIE DEATH OF N

1t is impossible at this momeu to es-
innate or realize the loss which the people
of ireland have sustained in the death OF
Charles Stewart Parnell. He has been
the greatest leader in the fight for poIiti-
cal freedom for ireland since the DAYS of
O'Connell. HIS success. until unfortu-
nate personal matters allowed his enc
mics to undermine his influence and de-
feat his purposes, was uninterrupted and
was due mainly to the fact that he had a
definite and we'll defined plan of action 10
his warfare for ireland that he allowed
nothing TO thwart or set aside. That plan
was an Irish parliamentary party. indie
pendent of all English parties This idea
was conceived by Mr.. Parnell nearly
twenty years ago. Eleven years ago he
was elected leader of the independent
Irish Parliamentary party. He has kept
the party independent and because OF its
independence has forced the question of
home rule for Ireland upon the English
people and has won to it's support the
greatest political party in England and the
greatest political leader. The Irish
party has at times held the balance of
power IN parliament and has always under
Parnell's leadership been a political force
which neither the party in power or the
opposition could afford to overlook. With
this force under his control aud with his
mastery powers as a political leader and
statesman always exerted for Ireland the
goal seemed almost in sight, and under
Parpell. ''Ireland's uncrowued king"
freedom for Ireland, the dream of centur-
les, was beginning to assume the sem
blance of reality.
But the jealousy OF followers, the
treachery of false friends and a fatal
weakness Of morals in his private life
have made the past year a sad one for
Parnell and the Irish cause has never in
the past decade presented a more gloomy
outlook.
The death of Mr.. Parnell may bring
peace into the ranks of the Irish party
but there is no one possessing so many OF
the elements OF a political leader to take
the vacant place which his untimely death
has made.

Delight Followed by Torment.

What man or woman will deny that a
good dinner is a present delight. Equally
undenia5le is it that when a well cooked
meal is succeeded by a lit of indigestion,
rapture is converted into torture. Don't
charge your dyspepsia TO your dinner.
No, my dear sir, your gastric department
was out of order to begin with. Had
you regulated it with Hostetter's Stomach
Biters, the cargo that you took on board
would have been comfortably slowed
away without the slightest inconvenience.
This incompatible stomachic entirely re.
forms faulty digestion and regulates be
sides, the liver and the bowels. which
must act tremendously with the digestive
organ or all three falls out OF gear. Take
the bit;ers for kidney and rheumatic CON-
plains and in all cases of malaria. As .
tonic, appetizer and promoter Of conval
escence it has no peer.

IN ~EYTENAION NEEDED

The withdrawal of the Union Pacific
service between Grin Junction, the ,ermi-
nus OF the Cheyenne x Northern. and
Douglas is discouraging to Cheyenne mer'
chants who were beginning to build up q
good trade with Douglas and the sur
rounding country. All rates between
between CHEYENNE and Douglas have
been withdrawn aud shippers are now at
the mercy of the Northwestern. This
road, with its long haul from Omaha, will
mo- be modest in its rates between Grin
Junction and Douglas for freight shipped
over the Cheyenne & Northern aud will
direct if possible all of the trade Of Cen
trail Wyoming to Omaha business houses.
A solution OF the difficulty is the extern
sion Of the Cheyenne 4 Northern to Doug
las, Casper, and all the other Central
Wyoming towns.

xATE~ OF ADVERTIsISG.
WILL THEY BE PLEASED7

The Laramie Republican, which spoke
for Mr.. Warren once before when it wal
announced that he would not be a candi
date for the United States senate, but
a good faith candidate for governor and
nothing else. is again essaying to speak
for the senator.
The paperis displeased because Mrs, f.
Sealey wants the Peoples party to look
into the penitentiary contract matter. 1t
intimates that as Mr.. Sealey Is just an
ordinary individual and belongs to the
Peoples party, his opinions IN the matter
should have been suppressed until they
had more than vague rumors for their
basis. The Republican says: NO
trouble should be experienced in obtaining
the full facts concerning the letting of the
penitentiary contract, Its causes and it's
results"
There should be NJ trouble. but there
probably will be.
The paper further says: Senator
Warren and Mr.. Marsh would probably
be pleased to furnish all desired informa-
ton. And the state board of charities,
which really awarded the contract, would
not be so discourteous as to withhold In
telligeuce of its public acts from n
respectable citizen or organization"
Senator Warren might be pleased to
give all the desired information and
probably could but it is doubtful If sem
atorial dignity will permit and the pro-
gramme will be the usual silent con-
tempt plan of great Republican states
men OF the present day.
1t is doubtful about Mr.. Marsh giving
up with pleasure any OF the inside facts
of the deal. He is probably too well
satisfied that for fifteen years at least he
Is fixed with a good job to care much
whether the people on the outside know
how he got it.
We fear the Republican when it speaks
for Senator Warren and Mr.. Marsh in
this matter is venturing on rather dan
gerous ground when 1t predicts they will
be pleased to give information about the
prison contract.

THE CORNER TURNED.
Hard Times VIII Come Again No More
for Time.

Meeting Col. John R. Hoxie yesterday a
GAZETTE reporter asked him as to what he
thought of the financial outlook He said
that in his opinion we have turned the cor
ner, and business will pick up from this
time forward The money to move the
crops is beginning to return, and the high
prices for cereals and food products now
prevailing in Liverpool and other foreign
markets is resulting in a constant stream
of gold pouring into this country from Eu-
rope. Every ocean steamer now arriving
brings gold. Gold is shipped every day
from Paris, from Berlin and from London.
Here in Texas there has been wonderful
improvement. Since last Friday the col
lections exceed by 10 per cent the collec-
tons for any ten days since the cattle smash,
some eight or nine years ago. Remittances
are coming in promptly and merchants are
drawing through local banks, showing the
debtors now have money on deposit
He says that he is firmly convinced
that another very prosperous season is
opening 10 for Fort Worth, and expresses
the belief that the city hall, central fire hall
and waterworkS Improvements should be
begun al once, while labor is cheap. Every
dollar paid cut for public improvement en-
hances the value of property. The water
works should be extended and improved so
that the sewer connections can be mada and
sewers flushed and utilized. He is firm in his
belief that unless adequate sewage facilities
are provided an outbreak of contagious
disease would prove disastrous and thou
