Tho silver convention OF Idaho, held
oH'thST5ti of this month, adopted IN
tsatidress in which tho following facts
IN favor Of the free coinage OF silver
at the ratio OF &c to I, is SuLmittsd
fer the consideration of the people of
che United States: '"ar:.. -
It is very generally admitted that
gold alone does not. constitutea suf-
tfciently broad basis to sustain the
Vast structure of credit, which rep
resents the trade and industry OF the
world. Why, was the policy of mono
nnetaliism inauRurated and what has
bean it's resultsP 1t was devised for
the, purpose OF enhancing the, value
OF money and security, and the purl
chasing power of gold has been ap-
preCiated very nearly 100 per cent;
Rnd the appreciation has doubled the
actual value of the worlds thousands
OF millions Of dollars Of interest bear
ing securities. 1t has been enorn-
ously profitable to the holders , Of
these securities; it, has been dreadful,
tY disastrous to all whose labor con-
tributes to the fund from which those
securities, principal and interest, are
paid.
Here in the west we have been led
by reason Of the direct and disas!
trous effects ubon our leading indus
tries, to give this subject that care &
full thought necessary to arrive at
correct conclusions. The people of
the east have not given 1t such
thought; they have carelessly accept
ed the explanation that the prices Of
the products of human labor have
declined, because of our over-pro-
ductlon. That ID false assumption.
We atell:you prices have hruuk be-
cause OF the appreciation Of the basis
Of money, as result of the applica-
tion Of the principal Of monometal-
lism. This rule of mooometallism,
If it be finally fixed upon us, must ap-
ply to all classes of property. Values
must all shrink. Neither the efforts
of tinanciers nor the intervention of
clearing house associations can pre-.
vent the fall. When the process OF
shrinkage shall have been tiuished,
rs per cent Of your stocks will have
been entirely wiped of the board of
exchanges.
The free coinage Of silver will en-
large the volume of the basis Of
money; it will stop the fall of prices
aud establish them upon a much
higher plane; it will add TO the re-
wards OF all who toll; it will increase
wages; it will make the burdens OF
life easier in the homes of the masses;
twill overturn the bondholder's con-
spiracy and take the yoke of hope
less poverty from the necks of the
people.
The address closes as follows: The
people Of Idaho hereby record their
conviction that if Congress shall fail
to pass free coinage law at this ses-
sion, it will be necessary for all BIZ
metallsts, laying all other issues
aSide, to unite in political or
ganization, whose sole aim it shall
be to rectify the disastrous error
committed in the demonstration act
OF 1873.

street Cars as Child killers.
From Harper's Weekly


The question of the most Importance to
street car companies just now is not
whether the trolley, the storage battery, or
ammonia makes the best motor, but how
surface cars can be run at high speed with
out killing too many children. Children
described as "about six years DID, girls
preferred, are the trolley-car's easiest game.
Their judgment of speed and distance is
imperfect, and they are liable to panics.
The street cars killed about one a week
last month in Rochester, and proportion
ate number in Boston. The old-Uime
ability of India to keep up its population
in the face of the institution called Jugger-
naut is quoted in support of the belief that
our city population can stand high speed
on surface roads. But the age of marriage
is so much earlier in India, and life so
much cheaper and more common there
than here, that the argument is not good
for much. Americans are in hurry, and
are willing to pay good deal for rapid
transit; but when it comes to paying a
regular tribute of children, mostly girls
"about six years old" there is liable to be
a good deal of computation on the question
whether it really saves much time to go so
fast. There is an average loss of some
thirty years of time on every six-year-old
that is run down, and that must offset
some of the minutes saved. Besides, the
next siX-year-old to be ground up may be
yours, and there is no denying that that
makes it awkward. There are bank presi-
dents that could better be spared, and that
IL would be cheaper TO run over, than some
six-year-old children.

The Mormons and their New Temple.
In Salt Lake City Mormonism is the en-
crossing theme; and the sixth of April, on
which | write, is the day on which the
Mormons dedicate their temple which they
began to build in 1858. Rumors of its cost
vary from three to five million dollars. A
good architect has said that he could build
it for half million, and. much more
beautiful building doubt not, for so much.
1t is not beautiful, but clumsy and un-
couth. 1t has been built in such a primi-
tive, unbusiness-like way that its actual
cost has been twice as much as it need
have been. The rest has found its way
into the pockets of the high priests of the
Mormon church or gone for lobbying
at Washington. We hear much of Nor
mon honesty, and of the subject classes
none too much. But the Mormon temple
represents as much dishonesty as any hun
dred of the costliestChristian churches in the
United States. This contrast between the
subject classes and the ruling powers is
general. The former are sincerely super
stitious and fanatical in their beliefs, truth
full and honest in their lives. The latter
known well enough that their system
originated in fraud, and their ecclesiastical
pritence thinly masks their sordid selfish
ness and their political ambition.
Whatever Mormonism may once have
been or may now be in the farming dis
tricts of Utah, in Salt Lake City to the
casual observer it is now out at elbows,
''down to heel" with nothing of that com
Portable tidiness which we associate with
eligio-economical experiments The head
quarters of the church are altogether taste
less and their shabbiness extends to the
officials, whose average expression is that
of Northcote, as described by Fuseli, He
looks like rat that has seen a cat The
Mormon tabernacle is also ill-kept. The
audience was immense some eight or
nine thousand; and ! have seen no other
such great aggregation of people that
yielded such an impression of defective in
telligence and vulgarity And, if it was
the odor of sanctity that the unventilated
mass emitted, that of roses is to be pre-
ferred.
came prepared to find a people that
had wrought industrial and social wonders
in the desert, but ! found them mserably
unprogressive, dull, and slow; and l came
to the conclusion that mixed population,
such as Settled California and other Sec
tions of the West, with scalawags and
cutthroats, not a few would have
accomplished more in half a century than
the Mormon saints have done. The talk
ing at the tabernacle was by two of the
most exalted leaders of the hierarchy; and
part of it was very good,-a simple plea
for the saints to acknowledge and forgive
their trespasses as the best possible prep
aration for entering the new temple.
There was a clear injunction not to expect
the immediate coming of Christ to occupy
its sacred courts. The administration of
the communion service went on simulta-
neously with the preaching. The use of
water instead of wine must be great saw
ing; but, had it been LacrymeX Christi,
it could not have been drunk more eagerly.
What pleased me most was that the babies
had their little sip.

gratifying to the party which triumphed so
overwhelmingly last November.
A Suggestive Paper.

The paper which Principal J. d. Horne
the Professional club Monday evening is of
more than local interest. A carefully sum-
married. abstract of the essay Is printed
elsewhere, and we hope it will be generally
read. The paper is manifestly one which
has grown out of the writer's experience,
and is statement Of his convictions on an
important subject. To sum up concisely
its contents, Mr.. Horne holds that, while
the Americans are dstinctively a read
ing people, and the output of printed mat
teris almost inconceivably enormous, much
of their reading is positively harmful or
vicious, still more of it is vapid, desultory
and profitless, and only small portion is
morally and intellectually educational and
uplifting. So broadly is this true that the
extent to which the consumption of I'M
wholesome literature is carried amounts to
a social evil.
This condition of things obtains mainly
because the young have no wise direction
when their taste for reading is being
formed, and when they devour eagerly
whatever they find interesting or exciting.
This, in turn, is because parents are too
busy, or too Indifferent, or themselves have
too little acquaintance with good books, to
have an intelligent oversight of what their
children read.
To remedy this Mr.. Horne would make
the cultivation and direction of a taste for
good reading part of the regular work of
the schools, beginning not later than the
Intermediate grade, when children are nine
or ten years old He has made an expert
ment in this direction, the past year, with
the first year class in his own school, and
with highly encouraging results.

Vandalism at Ge,,ysburR.

An electric railroad has invaded the his
toric battlefield of Gettysburg. Its build
ers are blasting the boulders of Round Top
and Devils Den, and elsewhere in their
reckless fashion doing what they can to
mar the natural beauty and destroy the
landmarks of the hillside where the Union
and Confederate armies met in the most
momentous struggle of the war. The road
traverses the whole Union line from right
to left, and by a circuit returns over the
ground of Longstreets and Pickett's
charges. The hum of the trolley and the
rattle of the cars will soon be heard upon
the field which 30 years ago was immortal
lied by three days almost incessant FOIL of
musketry and crash of cannon. . 1t
is now being realized, as 1t should have
been in the beginning, that the entire
Gettysburg battlefield ought TO have been
purchased and preserved either by the state
government or by the nation. The ground
of the Battlefield Memorial association has
been set aside, but that is only a small
fraction of the area over which the armies
contended. Gettysburg not only marked
the "high tide of the Rebellion, but of all
the great fields of the war it is the one
which is most accessible to the people of
the North whose cause was there victo-
rious. 1t is locality, too of striking pic
turesqueness. 1t is not surprising
that the Pennsylvania Grand Army men
should be indignant at this wanton spolia-
ton. Their indignation will be echoed by
their comrades throughout the country.
The salvation of Gettysburg battlefield
from the hands of money-grabbing specu-
lators is matter of national importance.
Perhaps it is not now too late for it to be
accomplished, if the survivors Of the gal
liant hosts of Meade, Hancock and Sickles
take the lead in bringing it about.-BOston
Journal.
1t will be good news to the veterans, as
20 all patriotic men and women, that an
effort is to be made to stop this scheme.
The Pennsylvania house of representatives
has requested the attorney general to ascer-
tain what action, if any, can be taken ito
prevent the completion of this scheme of
vandalism and an officer of the Judge ad-
vocate generals department has been in
structed by the secretary of war to inquire
into this "desecration of the battlefield"

The Year. Probable wheat Harvest.

The report of the department of agricul-
ture for May renders it reasonably certain
that the wheat crop of this country will be
below the average of the years 1SS0-lS90,
or less than 450,000,00 bushels. This
will be true even should the remainder of
the season be so favorable as to insure a
yield of spring wheat quite up to the aver
age. The winter wheat has received irrep-
arabic injury and will afford a very mea-
gre harvest in the more important states,
especially in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
and Kansas, and it is extremely doubtful if
these four states will garner one-half the
1874, ,000, 900 bushels they contributed to
the worlds supply after the harvest of
1892 In Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska,
the conditions leave much to be desired,
and full crops are improbable; while in
Texas and other less important wheat
growing states crops below the early prom
Use are probable. Besides the decidedly un-
promising condition of a majority of the
autumn-sown fields and the late seeding
of the spring wheat, the reports are not
wholly favorable from the Pacific slope.
There will probably be reduction in the
spring wheat acreage of Manitoba, and in
counting up the worlds probable supply
there must be kept in view the destruction
by drouth of much of the wheat of Algeria
and other parts of North Africa, and the
sensationally unfavorable reports from
wide European areas.
This state of things leads the New York
Sun TO make a careful estimate of the
wheat which will be available for the
worlds consumption when this years har-
vests are all in. II concludes that this
country will have not more than l26, 900,
600 bushels surplus for export, and the
amount may prove to be only fraction of
this. The surplus from India is estimated
by the British newspapers to be only from
"a, 900, 900 to 40, 900, 900. Counting all other
available sources, the Sun says an optimis-
tic view shows a probable deficit in the
worlds supply of "a, ,OOO,O 900, while pessi-
mistic view makes the shortage reach 233,
100000 The safe position is between
these extremes.
In any case there will be a deficit, and
American wheat will command a good
price this year

Mcleod Resigns.

The resignation of Mr.. Mcleod as presi-
dent of the Boston d Maine railroad COM
pany was presented at meeting of the di-
rectors held in Boston Tuesday. In his
letter of resignation Mr.. Mcleod says he
accepted the presidency representing the
interest of the Reading road in the Boston
d Maine. He contemplated traffic ar
rangements between the two companies,
which would be mutually advantageous,
but since he is not now officially connected
with the Reading railroad company, and
the Reading has parted with its holding of
the Boston & Maine stock, it will be i'm
possible for him to carry out his plans.
Frank Jones of Portsmouth, who gave
place to Mcleod, will be rechosen at the
next meeting of the directors.

Grand Army Men Disturbed.

There is excitement in Grand Army cir
cles over the action of Commander-in-C Chief
Weissert in Withdrawing the charter of
Farnham post of New York city, because
that post adopted resolutions and sent them
to the President and to all senators and
representatives in Congress condemning
the present pension laws and policy of the
country, and declaring that
"The only veterans entitled 20 pensions are
those who, by wounds or disabilities incurred in
the service OF their country, are prevented from
earning a living as they might have done had
such wounds or disabilities not been incurred,
and whose circumstances are such as 10 Justify
them In calling on the country for aid or support
1t is claimed on the one hand that there
will be a split in the order unless Col.
Weisser's action is rescinded, and ON the
other that the Farnham post has always
been "kicker," making 1t a point never
to be in sympathy with the order on pen
sions or anything else.
