TIE Moscow Democrat is red-hot
for Cleveland. Wherever and when.
ever the Democrats of Idaho have
spoken they have proclaimed for
Cleveland with much enthusiasm and
a loud whoop, notwithstanding Cleve-
land is an anti silver Democrat of
the most pronounced type, being not
only opposed to free coinage, but op-
posed to limited coinage with silver
purchased as commodity for that
purpose. Has the Democracy been
insiucere in its professions that it is
the true, original and only free coin
age party and about unanimous on
that question, or has it no available
free coinage candidate, or is the rank
and file being ruled by the bosses?
The Democratic party might as well
acknowledge the truth. Neither of
the two parties is free-coiuage party.
The fact of the matter is the majority
of the people Of the East are opposed
to silver and the majority of the West
and South are for free coinage. The
question will, however, be discussed
and agitated until the producers of
all sections understand that free coin
age is for their benefit as we'll as for
the benefit of the silver-produc;ng
States and Territories. When the
people generally earn that fact free
coinage will be adopted. When the
people arise in their might, money
bags and bosses are powerless, but
experience teaches us that they are
sometimes very hard to arouse.
Ceaseless and untiring efforts will
eventually win.

"LADIEs" are especially invited to

"Boise, the Beautiful" thou art a

ing pugllism in the State, or in other
words is the seed from which the art
has grown and spread its roots and
branches. We do not know whether
or not the Enterprise reasons correct

enthusiastically encouraged in the

The Statesman says the books of
the Secretary show S13,400 of the
school land fund has been loaned out.
This amount, together with the $4,000
now on hand, represents only 10 per
cent. of the total amount received SO
far from the sale of school lands.
The sale of school land in Nez
Perce county, which commences
on the goth inst, and the one to be
held soon in Ada county, will bring
nearly 100000, 10 per cent. of which
will be paid into the treasury imme-
diately.

Clagett Hasn't -Fiopped, y

The Boise City Democrat gives
synopsis Of Hon. VIM. H. Clagett's
speech in Boise the other night, and
which speech gave no intimation that
Mr.. Clagett has gone over to the
Democratic party, as the Statesman
said it did, and the Democrat appends
the following remarks:
"The Statesman of Sunday morn
ing says it will not be much of sur
prise to the readers of that paper to
learn that Mr.. Clagett has "puDIcly
turned his back upon the party"
That paper no doubt wishes it were
so, and so does The Democrat, for
one bugle blast from him we're worth
thousand men. But the wishes of
both proceed from different stand
points. Mr.. Clagett is by all odds
the most talented gentleman and ac-
complished Republican orator on the
Pacific slope. The small fry fear,
dread and hate him; hate him for his
talents and influence. They feel their
inferiority in his presence, and as
some of them have openly and pub
licly stated on the streets of Boise
within the past few hours, "wlth the
Mormon vote we can get along with
out him." The Democrat upon the
contrary would like to see Mr.. Clag-
EFT member of its party. The Dem
ocratic party, however, have no hopes
of obtaining his aid. He will proba-
bly, always be found In the ranks of
the opposition"

BORING FOR BED ROCK.

A company was recently organized
here to bore through this false bed
rock" to the solid granite. The
work will begin in a month or six
weeks. 1t is the opinion of your cor
respondent that immensely rich
ground will be struck or "not color, 4"
but is strongly inclined to the former.
Only three other placer camps, SO far
as l can learn, have the same forma-
ton as that of the Basin-Australis,
Auburn, little camp in Eastern Or
egon, and a camp IN British Colum-
bia. In Australia the best pay was
found between the false and true bed
rocks, and this was the case in British
Columbia. Recently pay gravel
was struck below the false bed
rock" in Auburn. If Boise Basin
fails, it will be the first exception to
the rule. Before sixty days | expect
to be able to inform the readers OF
the Mining Age that We have "struok
it rich" c. r. OpPINGs.

of town, but not being provided with
pump, water rushed in at the depth
of 102 feet, and work stopped. The

of the sand or gravel that was struck.

IDAHO PLACKR MINES.


Idaho city Special to salt LAks xinirg Ags
Placer mining began in Boise b.
sin earlier than usual this spring, and
the depth of snow in the mountains
promises an unusually long run. The
mines Of tho Basin were discovered
in the fall of 1862, and have been
constant producers Of the yellow
metal " ever since, but the produc-
tion has been gradually diminishing.
They still yield many thousands Of
dollars yearly and will be worked for
many years to come. To give some
idea of their production, will ststs
that the amount Of gold that went
out by express from 1862 to 1876
was SOC, ,OOO, 600, and old-timers esti-
mate that nearly that amount went in
miners pockets and other ways.
PRIMITIVE METHODS.
The creeks were worked in prim-
tive way, and probably but little
more than half Of the gold they con-
tanned was taken out. Much Of tho
ground was not worked at all, being
used for dump. A company has been
organized to re-work Moore and Elk
creeks by means of bedrock flume.
Debris has piled up in these creeks
to the depth of thirty or forty feet.
It will take pile Of money to- place
this enterprise on paying basis, but
it will pay enormously in the end.
Another scheme has been inaugu-
rated which may be fraught with
greater results than the bedrock
fume enterprise. However, at pres
ent, it is matter of faith and hope,
but if the hopes of those who will
engage in the enterprise materialize
to their fulness they will realize in
golden heeces like unto those tabled
Aeeces sought after by the ancient
Grecians. BOISE Basin has = pecu-

a WEED THAT EATS FISH.
A Remarkable Instance of a Plant Which

ommander Alfred Carpenter, writing
from Suakin, Red sea country, contrib

of plant preying upon one OF the YER
tebrata. The instance noted was OBJ
served by him when surveying Paracel
islands, in the South China sea. ~ =

down to pick one of them up | found
my fingers caught by suckers on the
weed, the fronds of which had closed
tightly upon them. The fish had been
caught in every conceivable way-by
the head, the tail, sides, etc, and some
of them had been held until the skin
was completely macerated. Those of
the fish that We're still living had evi-

MAGIC ART.
Scholarly, Adroit and Persuasive Use of
Language.

In all probability NJ. Renan, says the
London Spectator, touched highwater
mark in the art Of discovering a right
line in the art of obliquity, and of MAX
ing mo" look like yes" but there are,
all over the world, hundreds of men
who instinctively follow the same plan:
who cannot bear the slightest friction
IN social and intellectual intercourse:
and who always start contradiction
by pointing out that at bottom they en-
tirely agree with you, though there is
just one small and unimportant point
on which they differ You make a
quotation or state fact in the presence
of man Of this type, and knowing that
it is his subject, ask whether you have
"got it right" You have not; but this
does not in the least incline him 10 put
you right plainly and simply. He as
sures you instead that your version is
substantially correct; and then, by a
series of subtle gradations, ne manages
to put into your mouth the true story.
A good illustra ton Of the method Of
correction we mean is given by the
story Of the schoolmastcr who was de-
termined not to discourage his pupils
by abrupt corrections On the occasion
of the story, one of the boys was asked
to give the English of the word niger"

killing or banishing them: but the
Turks-from the humblest servant. who
divides his crust with them, 10 the inn
perial sultan, who has them fed from

which IS surprising. The dogs live in
! communities Of six, eight or Ten. and
each set appropriates To itself a certain
section of from one to three squares
The most intelligent dog seems to be
the president or commander OF the
group.
They are very friendly with all
the inhabitants who live IN their
special locality, while they show
no recognition to those who pass
their highway if they do not
reside there. They guard their
ground and do not allow any other dog
to intrude. l noticed one stray dog

GROWTH OF THE HAIR.
How 1t Is Affected by Certain Kinds OF
Food-Diet Affects the Length.

How 1t Is Affected by Certain Kinds of
Food-Diet Affects the Length.
The influence of diet upon the growth
of hair is the subject of paper in which
the writer saws: Several cases of she'd
ding of hair after influenza have con-
frmed my opinion that diet has much
to do with the production and with the
cure of symptomatic alopecia. Hair
contains five per cent. of sulphur, and
its ash twenty per cent. of silicon and
ten per cent. of iron and manganese.
Solutions of beef, or rather part of it,
starchy mixture, and even milk, which
constitute the diet of patients with in
fiuenza and other fevers, cannot supply
these elements, and atrophy at the
roots and falling of hair result.
The color and strength of hair IN
young mammals is not attained so long
as milk is the sole food AS to drugs,
iron has prompt influence The foods
which most abundantly contain the
above named elements are the various
albumenoids and the oat, the ASA of
that grain yielding twenty-five per
cent. Of silicon. have often found a
dietary largely composed of oatmeal
and brown bread greatly promote the
growth of hair, especially when the
badness was preceded by constipation
and sluggish capillary circulation
Those races of men who consume most
meat are the most hirsute
