WORK BEING RESUMED
The Coeur d'Alene Strike Near
ing an End.
OUR GRAND CELEBRATION
The Republicans RatifY - Reports
from the Mines---Committees
for the Celebration.
OUR GRAND CELEBRATION

The Tiger and the Poorman
mines in the Ceur d'Alenes have
resumed operations. They have
conceded to the miners the wages
demanded. The owners reserve the
right to discharge when they please.
They recognize the miners union.
The Tiger and the Poorman have
withdrawn from the mine owners
association, but the other members
stand firm and declare they will
fight the issues out to the bitter
end. The following from the Ceur
d'Alene Miner throws some light on
the labor trouble not heretofore
made public in so concise manner:
"From a business standpoint
and that is the only standpoint
from which the labor trouble here
should be viewed, it looks like both
the miners and mine owners had
lost sight Of the real issue involved
in the fight and each one was stub
bornly standing out for a decisive
victory. The difficulty arose over
difference Of fifty cents day in
the wages Of carmen and shovelers.
Later it developed hat the mine
owners were IN reality making q
fight against the miners union and
indirectly against all organized
labor; and it also came out that
the miners had a great grievance in
the company boarding house, the
company store and in being paid
in checks at discount.
Governor Wiley put his foot i'll
it when he visited the Ceur d'Alene
country. He issued proclamation
upon his return home declaring fol
martial law in case of any further
interference by the miners. Now
the miners are going to work anc
it may be depended that they have
it in for the governor. This dis
poses of him as a candidate for re
election.

Republicans Rally.

The Bonner's Ferry republican
club met last Monday evening to
ratify the nominations of Harrison
and Reid. The meeting was held
in the new republican headquarters
over the Tourists Resort saloon.
1t was well attended, and consider
ing the fact that great majority
Of Bonner's Ferry republicans had
been strong supporters of the can
didacy Of James G. Blaine, much
enthusiasm was manifested over
the nominations of Harrison and
Reid.
President S. B. Wright called
the meeting to order and in the
absence of Secretary Thos. J. Jones,
Ben Morrow acted as secretary
until the arrival Of Mr.. Jones.
After the transacting of some
miscellaneous business, speaking
was declared to be in order, and
the following gentlemen addressed
the meeting: Collector Dolan, A
d. Walker, J. c. Harkness, S. E
Henry and VIM. Keat. Some gooC
speeches were delivered and some
Of them were well applauded.
At the conclusion of the speak
ing the meeting adjourned with q
sense of feeling that Bonner's Ferry
republicans should Loyalty supper

Queer Fellows.

No one can ever tell what the
board Of county commissioners are
going to do. In most cases one
ought to be able to make reasona-
BILE surmise, but with the Kootenai
county commissioners reason seems
to have no sway. AT their last
meeting several new precincts were
established. But what of those
that were asked for from the Koote-
mai valley? These were asked for
some time ago. The commission
ers promised to create them; then
they said they would put it off till
the July meeting and create all at
once. Now they have given that
excuse the lie and are creating new
precincts before that time, but dc
nothing for those out here. Such
work makes us tired.

Full Text of the Invitation to
the Convention.
REASONS FOR THE INVITATION
He Believes the Full Use of Silver as
a Coin Metal Would Promote
Prosperity Among Nations.

President Harrison's idea of the
silver question is that the free coin
age of silver is a dangerous expert
ment until all the leading nations
of the world can be brought to agree
upon some standard ratio between
gold and silver. He believes in
having an international conference
of the leading powers to see if such
an agreement can not be entered
into. The following is a letter of
invitation to France:
CHARGE D'AFFAIRs OF THE u. S.,
PARIS, May 10, 1892.
To M. RIBoT, MINISTER OF For
E1GN AFFAIRs-Sir: BY the presi-
dents direction | am instructed to
call the attention of your excellency
to the desirability and expediency
of holding on the part of the
European nations with the United
States of America conference on
the present condition of silver.
1t is the opinion of the president
and, he believes, Of the people of
the United States with singular
unanimity, that the full use Of sill
yer as a coin metal upon a ratio to
gold to be fixed by an agreement
be tween the great commercial ma
tions of the world would very Highly
promote the prosperity of all nations
and all classes Of people.
He is aware, however, Of the fact
that the opinions of some other
nations, whose cooperation in the
successful government of such an
agreement is most desirable, may
not be in full accord with his views
or with the public opinion of the
United States. He is lead, how
6N6I, W U6llCNO Glldb a oOllellASh0 y
for larger use of silver has been
growing throughout the world and
that the time is now propitious for
the holding of an international
conference to discuss the whole
question. The United States gov
ernment, while frankly disclosing
its own views and the purpose it
would desire to attain, does not
wish to interpose any conditions
g that will embarrass any govern
7 ment that is willing to confer gen
