The SUBWAY" against which New Y ork

London for twenty years. nor has the town

absence of sufficient straw with which to
construct a respectable nest for the recep-

individual straws were quite accessible

Charged with Stealing Money.

Mary Jordan, who runs boarding
house on Bunker Hill, was arrested
yesterday morning on warrant sworn
out by John Carey Green. charging her
with stealing S203 from small valise
which he kept in his room. For some
time he has been boarding with Mary,
in company with several others, who
had access to the room, and it is claimed
by her friends that Green never had
that amount OF money in his life, and
on several occasions he did not have
money to pay mis- wash or board bill.
The matter will be investigated this
morning by Justice Turner.

Shoe, Shoup.

A resolution was introduced into
the Custer county republican con.
vention to instruct the delegates to
the Pocatello convention, to in.
struct its delegates to Minneapolis
not to vote for any candidate fol
president who was not pledged to
the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, says the Messenger. This
resolution Mr.. J. NJ. Shoup and his
friends defeated, thus placing them
on record as enemies to the silver
movement. We understand that
Mr.. Shoup is a candidate for gov
ernor of the state, but if so he is
neither a shrewd nor wise politi-
clan, nor yet good citizen, as no
man can be elected this year to any
Office without the vote of the sill
yer men, nor can any man get that
vote who is not irrevocably COM
mitted to the support of their cause.
Further, no man is a good citizen
or neighbor who is willing to sacri-
flee the public interests of the COM
munity in which he lives for official
preferment or partisan success.
Mr.. Shoup should crawl into a hole
before the election and pull the hole
in after him, if he does't wish to
be perpetually showed under early
in November.

Extracts from q Farmers Letter

Several democratic papers of the
the state have already pronounced
uncompromisingly for Cleveland
for president, at the same time ad-
vocating the free coinage of silver.
Cleveland, it will be remembered,
was the first prominent democrat
that antagonized the silver mo We
ment, and had it not been for his
anti-silver letter the democracy
would have been almost unit on
the question. The Bland bill would
have passed the House by an over
whelming majority, and the democ-
racy been grandly marching on to
victory. That letter of Cleveland's
has done more to split the party
and rob the laboring element of the
country than all things else COM
bined since its utterance.
This may seem radical statement
but the facts justify it. Let the de-
cline of wheat and cotton be COM
pared with the decline of silver bull
ion and the charge will be verified.
There are q whole lot of US down
this way who admire Cleveland, but
we love our country more; and il
we are compelled to choose between
Cleveland and free silver man
We will take the free silver.

You are quite right, Bro. Boyakin,
but the KEYSTONE never hoped to
convince the Statesman. It's posi-
ton is so preposterous that we
would be uncharitable to believe it
writes as we'll as it knows. But
some of the readers of the KEY
STONE read the Statesman also, and
we write for their information, in
case they should fail to see through
the partisan stuff Of the Statesman,

THERE is not much in the Rocky
Mountain News proposition for the silver
men who are Democrats in mining States
to chose electors who will vote only for a
silver man, Notwithstanding who may be
nominated by the National Convention
The News thinks if the election can bc
thrown in the House, that silver Presi-
dent will he elected.
We do not see any ground for hope on
that score. The same arguments that
have caused Democrats to repudiate silver
within the last month in the House would
be at work then, and the money and the
influence of the creditor classes would
prevail. 1t is better to let the matter
drift until by their hard necessities the
people of the East will learn little
sense.-Salt Lake Tribune.
We think we see more in that
proposition than the Tribune adj
mits. We believe that fully one
half of the silver democrats whose
votes defeated the Bland bill, voted
as they did because they were cow
ards. They thought the silver men
had no strength and wanted to be
on the strong side. Show them that
we have real strength by throwing
the election into the House, and
we believe they would vote for a
silver man for president, on the
well-known principle that towards
always become braves the moment
the adversary weakens. They are
always the men to stab a fallen
foe. But even if we should fail in
this: if we did not get our candi-
date elected we should have dem
onstrated strength by throwing
the election into the House that
would make us respectable, and the
president, whoever he might be.
would want to be reelected, and
would eagerly cater to our wishes
to get our votes. There is nothing
80 important as power, nor is there
anything so influential with q poll
tician as the knowledge that a
considerable number of voters pos
sess power and know how to use it
to their advantage. Therefore it
would be better to throw the cleo.
ton into the House than to prove
our weakness by Intellectual divis.
ions. And we would prefer to zee
the entire silver vote cast for third
party candidate, as that would give
at least q reasonably fair index to
our strength and prove at the same
time that we are not bound out to
parties that disregard our interests
our rights and justice.
