Stand Up for Free Coinage.

Like all questions that are never
settled rightly the silver question
comes up again and again to vex
the public conscience. 1t must be
settled somehow, and if settled
wrongly the country will have to
learn its blunder by several years
of business depression, and acute
panic. We have lived through
panics before, but we have never
yet been subjected to the ordeal of
living through one with practically
no reserve of public lands to offer
haven for the bankrupt and un-
employed, and with so large a
restless and anarchic foreign ele-
ment in our midst. We are now
down to precisely the same gold
standard we were brought to in
1873 when congress secretly and
dishonesty demonetized silver, and
it is our firm conviction that as a
result thereof we are in for several
years ofthorough-going hard times,
and that the gold standard will be
tested as it never was tested before.
There never would have been
any silver issue if congress had not
demonetized it secretly and fraudu-
lently in 1873. The resultant panic
lasted until 1878, when the Bland
act of 1873, providing for the coin
age of two million silver dollars
per month partially restored the
breath Of life to the PROSTATE busi-
ness interests of the country. The
cry went up for a restoration of
silver, for the free coinage of the
"Dollars of our Daddies," for the
dollar of Washington, Jefferson,
Hard-money Benton, Clay, Polk,
Lincoln and Grant. The Bland
act of 1878, and the Sherman law
of 1890 were both unholy compro-
misses. Old-fashioned people with
old-fashioned money notions do not
and never did advocate government
purchases of silver bullion, or gold
bullion either, to coin into money.
Their idea is that the government
should coin at the mints, free to
every one who brings either metal,
just as was done for eighty years
and up to 1878. Up to 1873 every
dollar was good, whether it was
gold, silver or paper, that was is
sued or authorized by the general
government. The people have
never complained that silver dol
lar was not good dollar. 1t is
only the gold bugs, the national
banks, bond brokers and gold spec
ulators who howl about the 60-cent
silver dollar. Why does silver
dollar with only 60 cents worth of
silver in it pass for 100 cents? ?
Why does a paper dollar with a
cents worth of paper in it pass for
a dollar? Why does gold dollar
with dollars worth of metal in
it pass only for dollar?
If silver bullion could be coined
at the mints like gold bullion,
would silver bullion be worth only
go cents? If all the silver that
could be brought to the mints was
to be coined into legal tender dol
lars by the government, would not
these dollars be good dollars to
buy with, or to sell for, or to pay
debts? Is gold, silver, copper,
nickel or paper material money in
itself, or does it have to be made
money by legislative enactment? ?
Did the people ever have too much
money of any kind at any time?
Did you ever see any money, me-
tai or paper, issued by the govern
ment that was not good money?

-1fter a. Horse Thief.

Under sheriff Young arrived
here Monday from Dayton with a
warrant for the arrest of one Mel
vim Shirman, charged with the lar
ceny of a horse. He hired the ami
NAL from a livery stable to go to
Marengo, but was last heard of at
lake Waha, headed this way, and
had a partner who was putting up
for all the expenses along the road.
The officer continued up Salmon
river, as the thief is supposed to
have struck out over the Little
Salmon trail for south Idaho.
Shirman is aged about 80 years
weighs about 100 pounds, has dark
complexion, smooth shaven and
was dressed when here with wide
brimmed hat, lead color, with hole
cut in top, dark brown chequered
coat, heavy blue overalls, with

Some Historic Places.

The walls Of Kilcolman castle, built
by Raleigh for Spenser, are still stand
ing. The state drawing room in which
the poet is said to have written the
ssFaery Queen" is used as a stable, and
a COW touches the opposite walls with
her horns and tail.
The castle Of Chillon, commanding an
important mountain pass, was for ages
favorite fortress of the dukes Of Savoy.
The stranger passes through the dun
geons below the lake where Downward
was chained and where other prisoners
starved to death up to the unaired, damp
little rooms above, and is tempted to
think that the royal dukes were not
much more comfortably housed than
their enemies.
ssBut," argues the triumphant for
eigner, 'sif your houses are large and
luxurious, with modern appliances,
think of the immortal deeds which en-
nobled these cramped closets and mar
row closest
Not all the courage of men is spent;
not all the laurel crowns have been won!

IJses for Dudes.

The plain, everyday young man, with
a superiority of cheek and deficiency OF
chin, who seems to have been born with
tooth for buckhorn, was born for some
good purpose, no doubt, though it is
hard to tell just what it is.
A western gentleman who runs coun-
try newspaper at home has been in New
York recently and thinks he has made a
valuable discovery. He saw one OF these
young men in doorway of Delmonic eos,
standing there sucking his cane gloomily
and looking almost human.
eve can't get any servant girls in my
town." said the westerner. 'Our best
people have to do all their own work,
though they are willing and able to pay
for having it done. All the new genera
ton of girls out our way have been sent
to high school, normal school and col
lege, and are educated way out of sight
of the kitchen and would faint at a wash
tub. Now that young man over there
looks as if he might be taught homework.
He could at least mind the baby while
the old woman worked. I understand
you have lots of those fellows here. You
call them schippies' or 'chappies.' There
doesn't seem to be much prospect of
making men out of them. Why not
turn in and make women out Of them?
If that fellow would only go out west
with me I'd give him good place
where he could cook, wash dishes, tend
baby and make himself useful and hap
by citizen and get good wages too

Art In Ghildren,s TOYS.

The tendency to do everything better
than formerly is again shown in the
wonderful toy animals offered at fairs
and exchanges.
In the infancy of this art rabbits and
elephants of white and gray canton
flannel, with shoe buttons for eyes and
abnormally developed legs which yet
often failed to support the stuffed bod
les dependent upon them, were the high
est specimens seen. Now, however,
realistic animals, carefully fashioned
from drawings from life, animals of nat
ural symmetry and proportions, that
stand properly and are made of colors
admirably initiating the skin or fur
with which the living model is provided
these are the present results. The
nicely of the work in detail secures a
really wonderful effect as whole.-Her
Point of View in New York Times.
