SERVING THE PEOPLE


At time when all hope was lost and
Congress at the point of adjourning
without providing the means for Grad
icating the lung plague in cattle, Sens-
tor Allison quietly put $500,0O0 in
bill for that purpose and being chair
man of the finance committee kept it
there. That money cleaned the COW
sheds in Chicago, as all remember, and
in all the country. We are free of the
foreign plague and now sell $70,0O000C
worth of beef year abroad. We are
apt at forgetting the good things our
public servants do, while we are reap
ing the haryests from them. Allison
paid us then and there for all the
favors he ever had and he does these
things so quietly and smoothly that the
moving power is forgotten while we
enjoy the consequences.

THE MERRY MONTH

1t was the merry month,
And the merry birds sang loud;
The wren was in the ivy-bush,
The lark was in the cloud.
In all that day of perfect May
There seemed no power of i'll,
When hawk came sailing out of the wood
And all those songs grew still.
1t was the merry month,
And the woods were full of glee,
The lizard on its sunny bank.
The squirrel upon the tree.
In all that time of lusty prime
There seemed no thought of death,
When a snake came crawling out of nook
And fear held every breath.
II was the merry month,
And never was month so fair;
Lord Lowell is up in his lady's bower
Singing with Lady Clare.
They sang il once, they sang it twice,
That song; he seemed true lover;
When stinging word, like a blow, wa:
heard
Their merry month" was over.

Is CARLISLE AIDING THE CON-
~PIRACY.

The Denver News has been looking
into the Congressional Record TO see
what some of those who are now advo-
eating the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act and the adoption of the
single standard had to say while in
Congress on the silver question. 1t asks
who world suppose that the present Sec.
rotary of the Treasury, while he was a
member of Congress, used the following
language
According to my view on the subject
the conspiracy which seems to have been
formed here and in Europe to destroy by
legislation and otherwise three -sevenths
to one half of the metallic money of the
world is the most gigantic crime of this
or any other age.
1t would be of interest to the country
to know how much Carlisle received for
lending HE aid to the perpetration Of
" the most gigantic crime of this or any
other age"

The copper mines at Copperopolis,
Calaveras county, Gala, have closed
down. About 300 men are forced into
idleness, many of whom have families
and had built homes at Copperopolis.

B. c., have issued q notice warning
miners and mine laborers to stay away
from that region, on the ground that

that hundreds of men are out of work
and unable to leave the place, that the
present conditions are deplorable and
the outlook gloomy in the extreme.
At meeting of the Virginia miners
union the committee to which was re-
ferred the proposal that reduction of
twenty-five per cent be made in the pre-.
sent rate OF wages, reported in favor Of q
conference being held with the mine
superintendents to consider the matter.
A resolution was unanimously passed
that the suggestion Of the committee be
ignored and that no further attention be
paid to the proposition. The Storey
county mechanics union took the same
action as the miners on the wage ques.
tion.
1t is reported that in an interview with
San Francisco paper, Col. Sutherland
stated that if the miners in Candelaria
would 20 to work for So per day, opera
tions would be resumed in the Holmes
mine. If silver goes up their wages
would be increased. It is sure shot
that the miners will not agree to such q
dimsy proposition. Three dollars day
in Candelaria is small enough pay, even
with silver at its present figure, and
should it advance in price $3.50 would
be none too much for that camp. -

in to be locked up in their cells, with
their withered left hand upon the shout
der OF once trusted clerk or promi-

THE HOUSE VOTES TO REPEAL.

The House Of Representatives on Mon.
day repealed the Sherman Silver Pus.
chase Act by vote of 239 to ITO. The
general impression hsd been that the act
would be repealed, but the tenor of the
news from Washington for the past week
was that the measure would have ma.
jority not to exceed forty. What has
brought about this great majority in its
favor, is not stated, Many reasons and
surmises can be given, but we will have
to wait for further advices in order to
learn the true reason.
The dispatch announcing the defeat of
silver was received here Monday evening
and fell like pail on our citizens. The
dispatch is as follows:
WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1898.
Silver is defeated. The Wilson bill
repeating the Sherman act was read at 2
o'clock. Bland offered an amendment
for free coinage at ratio OF l6 to l,
"nich was defeated by vote of yeas
i2S, nays 227. The announcement Of
the result was received with great ap-
plause by the anti silver men.
An analysis of the vote shows that
majority of the Democrats voted against
free coinage.
A vote on the question of free coinage
at ratio of II to l resulted in 100 yeas,
240 nays.
The amendment to re-enact the Bland.
Allison act was defeated. l26 to 2l3.
The Wilson bill was then passed by q
vote of 239 to ITO.

The Mines Are Not Worked Out.

EDITOR RRooRD:-In your last weeks
issue appeared paragraph saying that
"an old resident" Of Taylor had written
friend in Phoebe stating that the town
was played out and the mines were
worked out. The town may be played
out, but the mines are not worked out,
l have labored for many years in the
mines Of that locality and know whereof
/ speak. Had there been more attention
paid to systematic working Of these
mines instead Of pursuing policy Of
gouging out all the ore in sight. Taylor
to-day would be the equal Of any camp
in the country; and the idea that the
mines are worked out would never enter
the head of "an old resident" nor new
one either.
Yours for the facts,
JOHN WHRATLEy.
