will be such an uprising against the
silver dollar that it will be driven out
Of circulation.
1t is an association Of ignorant and
conceited jackasses. They prefer to
carry around their little coppers and
nickels and try to trample under foot
the broad monetary principles Of the
constitution. The class of people
who organize and maintain such an
association would dance for Joy If
silver we're withdrawn entirely from
circulation. They care not how
many thousands of homes they would
wreck, how many mines and factories
would be closed, the number Of
mortgaged farms that would be sold
and the multitudes of men, women
and children in every Western State
and Territory that would be left
destitute if silver coinage was stopped.
Eastern asses bray, and the goggled-
eyed dudes refuse to look at the
debascd metal. The Western man
will uphold the constitution and cling
to his American silver dollar as the
money that moves the wheels OF
American progress.

Among the very foremost agitators
for the building of better country
roads is ex-Gov. James A. Beaver,
of Pennsylvania, who made this the
subject of an executive message
during his term of office. Governor
Beaver has written for the August
number of The Forum an explanation
why most communities find it SO
difficult to get good roads. The
school tax, he says, we have become
accustomed to; so we have become
accustomed to be taxed for charitable
institutions and for the relief of the
poor; but in most states the habit OF
generations, so far as concerns the
improvement of roads, has been the
ineffective system of "working the
roads," so that most men have moi
only had it firmly fixed in their minds
that roads are not proper subjects
for direct taxation, but that the high
ways might be made by small con
tribution of personal labor. 1t is this
long and deep-rooted habit and un
willingness to pay a direct sufficien
road tax that is the primary cause o.
our national disgrace in having so few
good highways; and the remedy lie'
in such an agitation as is happil,
now going on in most states for |
keener public appreciation of tn
direct commercial benefits of well
built roads.

Bates Close Pushed by Purdsm.

Caldwell Tribune.
We are informed that the Nampa
people expect to begin work on their
new railroad in few days. Pres
ident Purdam has hit upon plan by
which the necessity Of bridging Snake
river will be obviated. The approach
from this side is long and steep, and
by crowding on steam it is hoped that
sufficient momentum may be created
to compel the train to jump the river
and strike the track on the other side.
The theory is pretty and no doubt as
practical as many Others we could
mention.

Well, that Beets Us !


Caldwell Tribune.
j. N. Cox brought several samples
of turnip beets, raised on his sage
brush ranch near Caldwell, into this
shop last Monday. We very much
dislike telling about the wonderful
products of Boise valley, for envious
newspaper men of other towns ruin
their reputation for veracity and de-
stroy their peace Of conscience by
telling about imaginary products of
their respective communities. Be-
sides, some Of them mildly estimate
that the Tribune exaggerates. This,
of course, is mistake. The only
news appearing in the Tribune which
disturbs the equilibrium of our Sc
rene conscience is new railroad talk,
and we always give 80 per cent. of
on that. But in speaking of beets-
we'll, Caldwell "beets" the world

will be gigantic developments to come
in the way of placers. Though
the shallower and easily worked
ground has been comparatively
worked out, yet the placers are by
no means exhausted. The deep
ground has not yet been touched.
A few miles below the town is a
large body of ground which is fabu-
lously rich. The bedrock is thirty
five feet deep, the ground being level
and without "dump," and the labor
of stripping is so great that it has
not as yet been successfully worked.
In places where the bedrock has been
reached it has yielded as high as 800
a day to the man. There is plan
BY which it can be worked, however,
but It would require vast amount
of capital Several miles below there
are falls In the creek and from here
what is called bedrock 1ume can
be run to the deep ground and the
whole surface could be sluiced off
and dumped in below. 1t would be
gigantic undertaking and require
bushels of money but it would lay
bare millions of dollars. The scheme
is now in contemplation by certain
company, and it may be commenced
in the near future, but as they are
somewhat slow good live company
could get in ahead of them.
The wonderful camp, which is so
pregnant with future promise, lies
about 150 miles north of Weiser, on
the Union Pacific line, from whence
it is most easily reached 1t will
pay all investors to visit the camp.
Supplies can be purchased at Weiser,
Salubria or Meadows, through which
one passes in going to, and from the
camp.

What are the causes which produce
such vast difference in the condition
of individuals? Why is one man
millionaire and another man pauper?
Is the reason to be found in our
system of civilization, or does the
cause lie in the individuals them
selves? An examination of the
records of mems lives will show the
latter to be the case. Those who
have succeeded in accumulating
wealth have, in nine cases out of ten,
been industrious and frugal all thcir
lives, besides being gifted by nature
with shrewd business sense which
enabled them to recognize a good
opportunity when it presented itself.
On the other hand, the men who live
from hand to mouth all their days
are either indolent and shiftless, or
they squander their earnings on triaes
instead of investing it in land or other
property that will increase in value
as the years roll by.-Ex.

fective work. 1t is really an impor-
tant subject, of the largest advantage
to the farmers and laboring masses.
1t is the business of good country
roads. We have more than once
urged this subject in our columns, but
we cannot do better service than to
keep it seduously before the public
eye. Outside of numerous other in
terests, the single calculation of the
ECONOMY to the innumerable wheels
on every sort of vehicle in the wear
and tear, to say nothing Of the saving
Of time and increase of comfort, would
pay all the cost and expense many
times over, In ON extensive territory
like ours, embracing thousands of
miles, the number Of animals ruined,
injured and lost from bad roads is
simply uncounted. We make no note
of these unseen consequences, simply
because we are use to them and go
along in the same deepening ruts that
our ancestors made. 1t is not only
the worst of follies, but the costliest
of extravagances. We should meet
in every district and urge upon every
candidate to the Legislature that he
stand by a law to employ the convicts
to build and Keep in repair our public
roads. AS it is now, every lick ts:lo s.lo
convict strikes for the State he strikes

A Hitch in the Fight.

New YORK, April 9.-There is much
discussion in sporting circles over the
demand of the Olympic club, of New
Orleans, that John L. Sullivan and
James G.. Corbett shall deposit 81, 800
each as a guarantee that they will ap-
pear and fight in the ring of the club on
Sept. z. The matter may form an inn
pediment to the consummation of the
match, for Charley Johnson, Sullivan's
hacker, says he will not put up cent to
that end. He points out that Sullivan
has during his entire career kept all en-
gagements, and so has Corbctt, SO far as
he knows. He says there is not case
on record where fighters of reputation
had to put up guarantee for their ap-
pearance. johnson says, however, that
his side is determined that the club
must give them some surety that the
$4,000 purse is there before tLey will
fight,
