ABSOLUTELY PURE

SILVER on Friday touched the
lowest price reached since demon
citation. The fact will only create
a ripple of interest now that silver
is out of politics, but the decline
will make itself felt, though
the public will hardly know what
has hurt them. The prices of farm
products are bound to decline as
silver declines, and many mines
that have been worked to the direct
benefit of numerous miners and the
indirect benefit of the American
Nation will cease producing. Di-
verso explanations Of these disa-
greeable phenomena will be offered
and the people will be fooled by
them for while, but some day in
the near future they will clearly
perceive that they have been made
catspaws of by the capitalistic
class, who are deriving all the adj
vantage from the decline in prices.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Every word the truth and every
thought directed with the best of
logic. 1t comes from great re-
publican daily-the greatest, per-
haps, on the Pacific coast, and pub
lished in gold-bug state at that.
The Chronicle has perceived and
conveyed to its readers the most
pertinent factors of cause and effect
in the present financial and indus
trial crisis.
We disagree with the Chronicle
in this, only, that silver is NOT out
of politics. 1t was shelved by the
two old parties, who were driven
almost to desperation in search of
methods by which the much dread
ed issue could be side-tracked for
their relief, but by no means was it
killed. It will not down! The pro-
test of the people against such
cowardly methods is universal and
just. And the ballot next Novem-
Der will show beyond doubt the
growth of the silver issue in the
politics of the people to have been
grometrically great.

The Ketchum Social Club.

At the last meeting OF the club
the subject Of politics was resumed
for discussion. The members are
fully informed upon the important
points of the different platforms,
with the issues, principles and pos
sibilities Of each respective party,
so after brief and informal debate
some of the members suggested to
waive the subject of politics and
take up other matters of interest
for discussion. The progress of the
club is encouraging. The initial
effort is over, and it is now an or
ganized reality. The members are
making strenuous efforts to keep
alive the pulse of interest, knowing
that apathy means stagnation, and
a society that does not grow is dead.
Those in our midst who advocate
woman's rights feel elated over the
rapid advance of women in Wyom-
ing. They are keeping pace with
their brothers in the political ranks.
Only few days ago the democrats
nominated a bright woman for gov
ernor of the state but she declined
the honor. Gen. Weaver and Mrs.
Lease, one of Wyoming's promi-
nent women, have been travelling
together and addressing large aud
fences in Colorado. As a general
thing men are afraid of a very smart
woman. Most mems ideal woman
is the one who would believe he
caught whales in the river if he told
her so. Yet a woman must be
possessed Of some intellect to be
companionable, and to keep her
husband a lover. Men weary of
automatic dolls. Still, after all,
women are more or less subordinate
to men. How true are the words of
Henry ". Longfellow in his allu-
sion to the power and influence of
women:
Though she bends him, yet she obeys him,
Though she draws him, yet she follows"
: There will be a reelection of Off
GERS in the club Saturday, August
9th. A full attendance of the men,
bers is earnestly desired. Let.

The apportionment was made on
the basis Of one delegate to each
precint and then one additional
delegate for every forty votes OF
fraction thereof over twenty cast al
the last general election. Ketchum
was allowed one extra delegate on
this basis owing to the abolished
precints of Warm Springs creek and
Boulder.
A committee on finance was ap-
pointed, consisting of Geo. ]. Lewis,
the present treasurer of the COM
mittee, Clint. Saunders, the present
secretary, and w. E. Parker, OF
Bullion, with instructions to collect
moderate fund at the earliest
practicable moment for the purpose
of disseminating populist litera-
ture, paying for stationery, etc.
The work of the committee was
harmonious and should be satisfac-
tory to the populists of the county,
1t is hard to suit everyone as was
evidenced by the ripple of dissatis-
faction in Ketchum at the location
Of the convention in Haley, but
the Ketchum members of the COM
mittee endeavored to discharge their
duties faithfully, and if they failed
to please all of their Ketchum
friends the latter have no reasona-
BILE complaint at this time, simply
because those interested in having
the convention here were earnestly
importuned to attend the commit
tee with proxies but could not be
prevailed upon.

W Whh w Had Him Hack in Idahe.

Under the heading. "A First-class
Nomination" We clip the following
in regard to our former County
Commissioner and highly esteemed
citizen, whom it will be seen, has
been nominated for county com.
missioner of Whatcom county,
Washington:
ST. W. Gillette, the republican
nominee from Fairhaven for county
commissioner, is in our judgement,
the best equipped man for such q
position in our city. he has had
large business experience, is exact
and painstaking in his methods,
sees a point readily, executes quick
ly. He is capable Of looking ahead
and seeing the after effects of his
projects and actions. His integrity
is unquestioned. As a citizen he
is wide awake and progressive.
While conservative in his calcula-
tons, with none Of the elements of
the plunger, yet when once satisfied
as to the feasibility and practibility
of a project he is full of resources
and persistent and untiring in car
rying the project to successful out
come. He is a good judge of
human nature and not likely to be
over-reached. His patriotic career
stands out as the very stamp of IN
tegrity and fairness whenthe affairs
of the public are entrusted to his
hands. AS boy he became pri-
vate in the 4th Wisconsin Infantry
in 1861, serving with such credit, as
an enlisted man, that at the end of
about two years he was promoted to
the rank of first lieutenant. He
served for nearly three years in the
cavalry service and on the staff of
some of the distinguished division
commanders. He acted for quite
while as chief division quartermas
ter. His active field service covered
almost five years. He served with
Sheridan. In civil life he has been
active in business. Four years he
served as member, part of the time
as chairman, of the board of county
commissioners in the largest coun-
ty of Idaho. His life work has
been such as to fit him for such
duties as devolve upon a county
The above, from the Fairhaven
Herald of August I'd, will be read
with interest by the many old
friends of Mr.. Gillette in Idaho,
who will heartily endorse all that
is said of him as a public-spirited
citizen and business man of ability,
integrity and wide experience. As
commissioner Of Alturas county for
four years, he has a record second
to none that ever served in the po-
sition for thoroughness, tact and
good judgment in serving the inter-
ests of all. In addition to- his bust
ness qualifications, he is genial
with fund of humor-
Gus anecdote, based upon his varied
with men and affairs, in
army life and elsewhere, which,
with his kind disposition attracts
friends wherever he goes.
Alturas county has not gotten
over feeling his loss, both as citi
zen and official, and all his friends
here will hope to hear that Whatcom
county will be fortunate enough to
secure his services by electing him
to the position of county commits
sioner.

IT would be we'll for the road
supervisors to look after the condi-
ton Of the road between ketchum
and East Fork. The bridge across
Wood river was destroyed by fire
about ten days ago, so travel is re-
sumed by way Of the old road,
which is in a miserable condition
owing to the defective state of the
bridges across the small streams.
There is great danger of accidents
to horses and vehicles in the pres
ent condition of the road.

SILVER CLUBS have now been or
ganized in every town in Custer
county, viz: Clayton, Custer, b.

the manager of the Clayton NJ. & S.

also largely interested in Custer
county mines and other industries.
The present progressive condition
Of the populist movement in that
county is largely due to his untir-

laborers' friend always-never was
known to have the least misunder-
standing with his employees in any
capacity-and a gentleman who
commands the universal esteem of
his wide circle of friends and asso-
ciates. Such men mean business

the foreground of action when they

Wages in England.

The Royal Labor Commission con-
tinues to unfold for the study ofwOrk-
ingmen in America a picture OF the
condition of wages in free trade Great
Britain. The section of the commits
sion which is dealing with questions
connected with shipping and transport
met. few days ago, under the presi-
dency OF Lord Derby, and listened to
testimony about railway porters.
According to Mr.. w. Smith English
railway companies pay the porters
sixteen s.,illings, or about S3.Si, a
week for an average OF twelve hours "a
day.
Assuming that these men work no
more than six days in the week, they
receive about sixty-four cents for a
day of twelve hours. Many, perhaps
most of these men, have families to
support. These are facts and figures
sworn to before a commission repre-
senting the highest authority in Great
Britain and are apparently not ques-
toned or doubted in England. They

FOSTER THE MAN.
Appointed Secretary OF State and Confirmed
by the Senate Without Any Delay.

WAsHINGToN, June 2T.-The presi-
dent sent the name OF john W. Foster,
of Indiana, to the senate at noon to
be secretary of state.
The senate in executive session con
firmed the nomination of Foster as
secretary of state.
John w. Foster was born in Pike
county, Indiana, March =, S36. After
his graduation at the State University
of Indiana in $50, ne attended the
law school at Harvard University.
He began practice at Evansville, lndI-
ana. In 1861 he was appointed ma
jor of the twenty-iiith infantry OF In
diana volunteer. At the end of the
war his rank was that OF brigadier
general by brevet. Upon his return 10
Evansville he edited the Daily Journal
OF that city. He was chairman OF the
Republican state committee in 1872.
His first appointment as minister was
to Mexico, in 1878. He was minister
to Russia in 1850. His last appoint
ment was to Spain, made by President
Arthur at the instance OF Secretary
Frelinghysen with the view TO improve
our commercial and political relations
with that country. He has since been
called upon to settle the sugar ques-
tion with Spain.

ON THE ROAD TO DEFEAT.
Hopeless Inertia Is the Attitude of Democrats
IN Washington.

Washington Special; The sentiment
here with regard to the Democratic
ticket Is one of hopeless inertia. Dis
appointment at Cleveland's nomina-
ton is apparent everywhere, and
prominent Democrats are credited
with making side remarks to friends
full of bitterness and scorn. There
are few politicians in town at present.
1t is certain that if there are any
warm Cleveland men they are among
those absent.
Stevenson's record is another cause
OF disappointment. He was master
in chancery in Woodford county, Ills,
while the war was being fought, and 1t
is reported, a member in good stand
ing of the society OF the Magic Circle,
composed of sworn sympathizers and
friends of the confederacy. His whole
stock in trade for the campaign is his
expert work as headsman while first
assistant postmaster general. The
idea OF carrying Illinois with a combi,
nation of Cleveland and Stevenson Is
ridiculed even by Democrats.
