Start Up.

Some Of Caldwell's leading merchants
visited the De Lamar and Silver City
country last week and from them we
hear the most glowing reports Of the
future prospects Of those wonderfully
rich mining districts. This season
promises to be the most active and
prosperous Of any in the history of the
country. The mining properties are in
splendid condition and active opera
tons have begun. This is gratifying
news for all Idaho and In fact for the
whole country. Many capitalists are
said to be lowering about looking for
opportunity to make investments and
there is every indication of a substan-
tial and permanent boom. THE TRI-
BrNE hopes soon to be able to give
more detailed information with respect
to the resources and possibilities of the
great Owyhee country. Now that at
tention is being turned in that direc-
ton, wonderful development will be
the natural consequence and it will not
be surprising if the Ell dorado of Idaho
is yet sleeping in the mountains of
Owyhee.

THE VERDICT OF THE JURY.
Foul Play, But No Trace Of the
Criminal.
Developments After Two Weeks OF In
quiry-The Body Identified by the
Murdered Mans Mother.

In the interest of public Justice, The
TRIBUNE last week suppressed what
had been learned by the Cor0ner's jury
with respect to the body found in Snake
river on the 3rd instant. But it seems
that one of the witnesses who should
have been particularly interested in the
matter was not quite SO discreet, and
gave to contemporary all he knew, or
could learn, for publication. At the
time the body was discovered, marks
were found which caused suspicion Of
violence and a Coroner's jury was en-
paneled which quietly set about inves-
tigation. It was learned that one
Charles j. knight, a peddler living near
Nampa, had been missing ever since
the 18th or 18th of December. Knights
mother was subpGned and fully identi-
fed the body as that of her missing
son. Evidence was also adduced
pointing to the fact that a horrible
murder had been committed and con.
Meeting certain individual with the
crime. 1t was hoped that by working
quietly more positive evidence could be
procured, hence the jury, very wisely,
gave out nothing for publication.
Some of the salient facts having been
made public by the leaky propensities
of the witness before mentioned. there
was no further occasion for secret in
vestigation and the jury proceeded to
make up its verdict as follows: That
the body was that Of Charles ]. knight;
that he came to NJ gd9ath on or about
the 18th or 18th Of December, 1892, in a
criminal manner by the hand of per-
son or persons to the jury unknown.
The investigation is still being carried
on and it is hoped the guilty may be
discovered and brought to justice.
It is almost certain that a cold
blooded murder has been done, and the
officers of Canyon county should be un-
firing in their efforts to reveal the per-
petrator Of the awful crime.

The N. Y. Recorder { Republican
in an editorial Aug. 18th, entitled
"Give Us Free Silver" says, "The
monetary power has spoken for
gold monometalism, and Mr.. Cleve-
land seems to be its executive echo"
and all the little penny liners of
the country have rung the changes
on this slanderous utterance. But
none of them will be fair enough
to explicitly state the Democratic
gold standard does not mean mono
metalism, but simply that silver is
to be measured by gold, whether it
takes 16 to l or 20 to i to make q
fair ratio of value, and that the
coming of silver will not be limited.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1893-09-02

ask for moro bonds, self-interest
prompting them to advocate this
as a measure of relief. Silver
bonanza kings, backed by dupes
as well as designing advocates,
cry out for free silver and unlimi-
ted coinage. Standing between
these clamoring factions a Demo-
cratic administration points out
the fallacy of the United States at
tempting single handed to regu-
lats the ratio between silver and
gold; holding that while silver
ought to occupy a larger place in
our currency, its parity cannot be
safely or permanently established
without international cooperation.
Mr.. Cleveland's position as to a
gold standard is by no means OPP
posed to silver money. 1t is based
upon an old and tried statute of
the land, the Gold Clause, which
fixes the standard of coined money
in the United States, and has been
in operation since 1884. So that
all the "gold-bug" criticisms that
have been hurled at him by penny
liners fall perfectly fiat in the face
of the fact that for sixty years the
government has had nothing else
but a gold standard.
There is absolutely nothing in
the pretended scare about "mono-
metalism." Neither is there any
danger of free coinage causing an
Importation of all the old silver
spoons and teapots into this coun-
try, thereby depreciating the value
of silver, and thus creating another
panic.
The financial needs of the coun-
try are being intelligently and pa
triotically considered, and whatever
is done can but be an improvement
over present conditions.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1893-09-02

The following is one of the lead
ing planks in the National Demo-
cratic platform. It is explicit on
the silver question, and if the
platform is to be considered by the
Democrats in Congress, no specific
conditions will be coupled with
their votes:
1--WE denounce the Republican
Legislation known as the Sherman
act of 1890, as a cowardly make
shift, fraught with possibilities of
danger in the future which should
make all the supporters, as we'll as
its author anxious for its speedy
repeal. We hold to the use of both
gold and silver without any dis
elimination against either metal
or charge for mintage, but the dol
lar units of coinage of both metals
must be of equal intrinsic and ex-
changesble value to be adjusted
through international agreement
or by such safeguards of legisla-
ton as shall assure the mainten-
ance of the parity Of the two met
ais, and the equal power of every
dollar at all times, in the markets,
and in the payment of debts, and
we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par and redeemsble
in such coin. We insist upon
this policy as especially necessary
for the farmer and laboring classes,
the first and defenceless victims of
unstable money and q auctuating
currency"

Hurrah For Democracy!

Our editorial of last week was
written in a fit of political yea
and admiration for the giants Of
Democracy, but our faith in them
seems to have been well grounded
and the passage of the Wilson bill
on Monday last shows us to be q
pretty fair prophet.
The Wilson bill, which was pass
ed in the House by a vote of 239 10
ITO simply repeats the Sherman
bill and there stops short It has
been sent to the Senate and was
promptly referred to the finance
committee. The Senate has under
consideration q similar bill by Mr..
VOORHEES,, which not only repeats
the purchasing clause of Sherman's
bill, but declares in favor of obi
metalism." It is claimed that
this comes much nearer the finan-
cial plank of the Democratic party,
and will meet with more favor than
the Wilson bill. In any event the
adoption of one or other of these
bills, with little or no change, may
be looked for confidently within q
week. Both bills are in strict &C
cord with the Presidents views on
finance, and the VOORHEES, bill is
said to be Mr.. Cleveland's express
ed sentiments on the subject.

better and a more efficient mail or
postal service till forebarance ha,
ceased to be a virtue. Some time
since four weeks passed, and during

we havn't received copy of the

We ask what is the matter? We
think that Mr.. Bissell would do
well to send a postofice Inspector
through this country. As our mails
have been coming here for some
time past, it is nothing but q source
of annoyance. Mr.. Editor, can You
