LETTER IRON TIE CAPITAL
Boise Cry, Sept. q, 1893.

pletely paralyzed, and eyerybod,
seems distrustful of his next doc
neighbor, but in the face OF the dul
times four very substantial bricks
have gone up aud quite number o.
fine residences.
Not quite one-fonrth OF the people
here who intended to go to the
Worlds Fair have gone. A few are
going now, for they think they will
not get to the next one 100 years
hence. Several have also signifed
their intention of visiting the San
Francisco Fair to open on Jan. 1st.
The railroad has undergone quite
change here, and the company has
made some very valuable improve
ments. The old depot across the riv-
err, on the bluff, is thing OF the past.
The old building looks lonesome over
there now, hut it looks and sounds
good to see and hear the big engines
come putting through town. The
company has built fine, substantial
warehouse, and is now finishing the
passenger depot. This is very
pretty structure, built of stone, with
all modern improvements. The out
side work is nearly completed and
the roofing will be finished in day
or two IL rain does not continue to in
terfere with the work. We have had
several heavy and refreshing Septem-
Der Understanding unusual here
and quite relief, for dust was get
ting to be monotonous.
The election OF Jas. A. Pinney last
week by the Grand Lodge of Masons
as their Skookum Tyee for the mex,
year, was a we'll deserved compli-
ment, as was also the re- election of
Jas. II. Wickersham as Grand Secre-
tary. Mr.. Wickersham is in a very
critical condition and has been sick
all summer.
] was glad you hit the Boise Dem
ocrat on the knuckles on the position
that paper takes in defense of Grover
Cleveland. Jud is clever, and one of
the hest local editors in the State, bu,
! cannot compliment him on being
correct as to his estimate of Grover.
He saws we must have free coinage
or we're gone; thinss Cleveland
called Congress together to repeal
the Sherman law, and that when that
is accomplished he will recommend
free coinage. No amount Of argu-
ment will convince him that Grover
Cleveland is a traitor to his country.
The President called the extra SEES
sion for the purpose of repeating the
Sherman law. He set Congress to
work, then took trip to Buzzard's
Bay to fish again for suckers. He
caught several on pin hook. One
was Hill of N. Y, and another Voor.
hees OF "lnjeanny." The bait used
was patronage and was a success, but
will not he success later on. Con-
gress has been in session over n
month, and what has been accom-.
plished? Nothing. What will be
accomplished during this extra ses.
sion? Nothing. Much speculation is
INDUCED in as to the cause OF this un-
precedented financial panic. Some
think 1t is on account Of uncertainty
in regard to tariff legislation; but as
the Democracy is a party of "don',s'
they will not dare to meddle with
that question to any alarming extent.
Some good Democrats have the cheek
to tell you it's the Sherman law; on.
ly repeal that and good times will
come again. That's the thinest kind
OF tally. That the Sherman law is
bad, and ought never to have become
law, | think every tue American
will admit, but it il Ike an open
leaky boat at sea. The crew will not

until there is something better in
sight. In my humble opinion silver
demonstration is at the bottom of all
this distress. In the first place |
think we have been sold. The bank.
ers of Lombard and Wall streets, and
others, have purchased the President,
body aud soul, and he is purchasing
his body guards with patrol age, and
will do his level best to further de.
