A NIineraIite on silver.

Mr.. SIGNAL.-We can give but
little news this week from our camp.
There is some little stir and activity
among our people, preparing for work.
The producers are a little blue, con-
fronted as they are with the un-
common low price of silver, that pure
bright and beautiful metal, that has
been money and priced as a
circulating medium Of exchange
since away back in the dim distant
past, has now to be deprecated and
discounted by our great Ameriacan
statesmen. One of them, no less a
parsonage than the superintendent OF
our mint, has TO contend that free
coinage would be death blow to the
silver interests of the country. No
argument what ever to bear him out,
except that Europe would send hel
silver over here in ship loads. Well,
let Europe send her silver over. 1
would not be long until they would
want it back. 1t is not man.
hundred years since Europe sen
ships to American for loads of silve
and took it over; and not always in
dignifed way that would be worth
the honor of national reputation fo

fair dealing. Any person that has
read the history of the Spanish
conquest of Mexico knows the
assertion to be true Then, too We
read of ships belonging to nearly
every government in Europe getting
out on the high seas and declaring
themselves pirates, capturing Spanish
merchantmen on any other vessel that
was presumed to have treasure on
board and get it to their own country.
The next, thing was TO undergo
mock trial, about such trial as the
Chileans gave their subjects for
attacking and abusing our Baltimore
sailors in which severe penalties
we're never infected, but now that we
have grown to be power that is to
be feared, it is sought by the wealthy
Of Europe to resort to diplomacy 1t
is too bad to see that so many of our
American statesmen will fall in with
so preposterous a proposition. The
real fact is, it is only ruse to grind
the poor and add to the opulence of
the wealthy. If free coinage is
defeated it will make money scarce,
and that is exactly what the rich
want. Then wages for all employment
will be low, every product of labor
will be cheap, then the grand result
will be accomplished The rich can
grow richer and the poor can grow
poorer. 1t is a well known fact that
the constant use of silver causes it to
grow lighter. The poor man who
carries few dollars in his pocket by
the abrasion of the pieces will cause Il
waste; as there is about billion
people in the world who add mite
each to this loss the aggregate will be
considerable. Add to this the amount
that is used in the arts and there is a
constant drain on silver Should the
production of silver be discontinued
for a few years, evidence Of its grow
ing scarcity would soon be very
perciptible. In conclusion, if Europe
has so much silver to send over to
America, why do they not send some
Of it with their paupers? then SO
many of them would not have to be
sent back from Castle Garden, as
has been in the past. The fact will
be, in this silver question now that
we are nearing election, that the
political party that embodies free
, coinage in its platform as part of
its obligation will be the party that
will win, be it Republican, Democrat
or Alliance. MEMORABILIA.

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM,
Or the Political Shyster's
Doom.


By the Famous Legislature of 1S90-91.
AS the election of next fall will be
the first held in the county under the
Australian ballot system it will
awaken much interest. Already
letters of inquiry and requests for
information are stragling in, and
deeming that it will be eagerly read
by nearly all we have decided to pub
the most important portion of the
new law. 1t would be a good idea
for you to file the papers away for
future reference. AS the previous
sections refer to registration, etc,
we begin with section 40:
Sec. 40. 1t is the duty of the
county commissioners, at their
regular session in July next pre-
ceding a general election, to appoint
four capable and discreet persons
possessing the qualifications of
electors, three of such persons to act
as judges of election, and one to act
as distributing clerk of election at
each election precinct; and the clerk
of the board must make out and
deliver to the sheriff of the county,
Immediately after the appointment of
such judges and distributing clerk, .
notice thereof, in writing, directed
70 the judges and distributing clerk
so appointed; and the sheriff, within
ten days of the receipt of said notice,
must serve the same upon each of the
said judges and distributing clerk OF
election by registered mail If in any
precinct any of said judges or dis
tributing clerk do not serve, the
voters of said precinct may elect q
judge or judges or distributing clerk
to fill the vacancy on the morning OF
the election, to serve at such election.
Sec so. The selection of officers
must, as nearly as practicable, re-
present all the different political
parties or principles as represented

they may be screened from th
observation of others, and a guar
rail shall be so constructed an
placed that only such persons as ar
inside said rail can approach with
ten feet of the ballot boxes and O
such voting shelves, places or com
+ partments as are herein provided for
The arrangement shall be such tha
neither the ballot boxes nor til
voting shelves or compartment
shall be hidden from view of thos

such polling places shall be as nei
as practicable in the following form
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-03-03

The number of such voting shelves
or compartments shall not oe less
than one for every fifty electors, or
fraction thereof, registered in the
precinct, and the expense of providing
such polling places, compartments,
guard rails, and all necessary supplies
shall be public charge, and shall be
provided in the same manner as
other election expenses. Each

written the name of his choice is
sufficient evidence that such is the
person for whom he desires to vote.
Sec. Sc. Elections for school
district officers are excepted from the
provisions of the preceding section.
In all municipal elections the duties
specified in the preceding section as
devolving on the county auditor shall
