Report adopted.
On motion of Mr.. HawleY Messrs.
Hawley, Donnelly, Regan, Demsey
and Harris were appointed a com
mittee on resolutions who after re-
firing returned and offered the fol.
lowing:
RESOLVED, that we heartily adYo
cate the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and insist that the republican
party of the United States is most
bitterly opposed thereto; and there
fore we call upon all of our fellow
citizens who are in accord with US on
this subject. to unite with US as a
party, and participate in our primar-
les and conventions.
RESOLVED, That the republican
party Of the state, having since they
have been in power, violated every
promise made to the labor element of
our community, and shown itself the
friend Of corporation and monopolies,
we cordially invite the laboring men
of Idaho who have hitherto supported
the republican ticket, to leave tie
party which has betrayed them and
unite with the democracy who have
always advocated and protected their
rights and interests.
RESOLVED, That while regarding in
reference in politics or government
by any church or priesthood as endan-
gering the peace ard welfare of the
country and the liberty Of the citizen,
and firmly believing in that cardinal
principle of the democratic party that
forbid freedom of religious belief and
worship from being questioned, but
refuses to tolerate religion as cloak
for crime; still we believe that tbs
! time has come when all persons with
/ out regard to religious belief, who
: have evinced by their words aud &C
tions their desire to refrain from
: countenancing in fractions of any Law
Z Of the state, should be permitted t

every religions creed, who believe il

ventions.

Colossal organizations with lavish ap-
preparations are in the field for the pur-
pose Of suppressing crime and pauper-
ism. Until within few years this
great army has been ofdcered by the
church, and plans Of campaign have
been mapped by it, Slowly the public
intelligence is awakening to the fact
that these methods have been ridiculous
ly inadequate, as proof exists that crime
ant pauperism are steadily increasing.
The law Of indefinite terms Of impris-
onment for criminals committed for q
third offense has been the wisest prison
law ever passed, for by such law
criminals are the longer prevented from
the chance Of perpetuating their evil
traits; and yet in Massachusetts there
are sentiinentalists who oppose the
enactment of this law.-Profes5or L. S.

in the suburbs of Leadville, and VOL,
colt expressed suspicion that the
horses were perhaps too frisl,y to be
trustworthy, Thereupon the friend set
about bantering and badgering Wolcott
upon his excessive timidity. Wolcott
bore this badiuage patiently, till pres.

steep, almost precipitous inclines in
which Colorado roads abound.

But no sooner had Wolcott got the
reins than he turned to his companion
and said: "You have been shaming mt

With that he flung the reins out ovei

whip furiously. The frightened horses
dashed down the hill, swinging tn,

Ice from Impure Water Is Dangerous.
1t has thus come to be firmly estab-
lished as a primary principle in sanitary
science that sewage polluted water
should not be used for domestic pur.
poses either in its natural state or in its
condition as ice. No water which is un-
fit to drink as water is fit TO use for II
similar purpose as ice. Its GOODNESS
may benumb the sense of taste, so that
no warning of its nature comes to the
consumer. Its intrinsic clearness and
beauty may put him off his guard, but
all ice cut from sewage polluted waters
is dangerous, and should by law be kept
from the domestic marlet.-T. Mitchell

1t is am error 10 suppose that rattles
are shed each year as are the horns of
the deer, or that a new rattle is added
each time the skin is shed. A friend of
mine owned a massasauga over one year,
and while the skin was exfoliated the
rattles remained intact and without ad-
ditions. Men who owned rattlesnakes Of
the diamond species in Florida informed
me that an adult might add one or two
rattles-that is, sections to the rattle
in a year, OF again not any, and that the
changing of the skin eXfolation had
nothing 10 do with the new formation.
All agreed that the older rattlers of tho
south were provided, as Il rule, with a
longer rattle than tile young ones. Said
one man, pointing 10 six specimens Of
the diamond rattleanake (Crotalus ada
manteus) about sixteen inches long and
possessed of a single rattle and button,
