Mayor Potter responded to the resolu-
tion with marked feeling. He said that
his emotion prevented him from express
ing suitably in. words what his heart
dictated. He wanted TO thank every
member of the board, and also those
members who sat in the body year ago
for the very pleasant manner in
which he had been treated. They
had made the duties of the presid-
ing officer exceedingly agreeable and he is
largely dependent upon the aldermen for
prompt and satisfactory performance of
the duties of the Office. He appreciated
their unfailing courtesy and forbearancc,
and as it was probably the last time he
would meet the members officially b,
wished to express the hope that the So
cial relations and good fellowship would
continue in the future.

The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1893-04-01
The Governors Indictment,

The Enterprise has informally
been a warm supporter of Governor
Mcconnell. 1t has appreciated and
complimented his many excellent
traits of character and is inclined
to palliate rather than aggravate his
shortcomings and mistakes. When
the governors letter to the people
of Idaho, by courtesy addressed to
G. NJ. Hays, district attorney of
Ada county, first appeared, we were
disposed to smile on his excellen-
cy's infatuation and regard his lit
tie bid for popularity with pleasant
indulgence. Knowing the subter-
fuge was harmless we were not in
clined to interrupt its enjoyment.
Nevertheless, we regretted that tn e
governors native fondness for adu-
lation had outstripped discretion,
and that dignity and prudence had
been sacrificed on the altar of noto-
riety. The governors communica-
ton to the prosecuting attorney
had been emninently proper as a
secret official communication and
it never should have been used in
any other capacity. Paraded in the
public prints, it loses force and
dignitey and descends to the level
of common advertisement.
Our undisguised admiration of
the governors ability and general
integrity, enables US to criticise his
foibles without fear of wounding his
feelings, and our estimation Of his
virtues gives assurance that little
friendly admonition will not be
mistaken for general reproof. We
simply desire to warn his excelleney
against repetition Of his recent
exploit. It partakes too much oil
pyrotechnics to meet with refined
approval.

By the time the state wagon road
bonds are due the state will have
paid out for the twenty years
interest $135, 900; the cost of keep
ing up the road during the few
months that the road, if built, will
be open for general use, will be not
less than $4,000 a year, a total of
100000 in 20 years, which, together
with the principal of $4,000, will
make the cost of the few miles of
road for the first 20 years amount
to the enormous sum of $4,000.
A majority of the counties will re-
ceive no benefits whatever from
this expenditure, yet they will have
to pay the greatest portion of it.

Let the Mines Put Up the Price
of Silver.

Last Saturdays steamers carried
$171 900 in silver bullion to Europe.
Every month considerable silver is
shipped in this way, clearly show
ing that the natural demand on the
other side is for still more silver to
meet the requirements of trade.
The final destination of most of
this silver is to Asiatic countries,
and this demand in excess of ex-
ports from the same section, is
quite large annually for any num-
Der of years back.
This fact is we'll known to all in
terested in the movement of silver,
but it has significance which our
silver miners may we'll note, for
under its influence, taken in con-
junction with our own Government
purchases, it becomes possible for
silver miners to sell it for 81 20 per
ounce instead of 80 cents or so
that prevails.
Our point is for the silver mines
to unite on the sale of the silver
question and let them form an
agreement not to sell any of it for
less than 81 % per ounce.
They can do this easily and at
the same time transfer the existing
locality for quotation from Lon
don to, say New York.
We have several times explained
that there is a ring of manipulators
in London who put whatever price
on silver they think is likely to
further their own interests, and
their action is at the expense of and
greatly Expresses all nations using
silver as money.
This in itself is calamitous con-
dition of things which at once ought
to be stopped. And to stop it we
suggest to miners the course above
outlined, for there is no sense in
the mines allowing these manipu-
lators to put the price on silver.
The mines control the output.
Let them ask par rates for it in
New York, and they will soon see
that the demand for silver is equal
ly as great as the present, and at
the higher price.
While recommending the miners
to command the market in silver,
we do so because it is in the best
interests of the people, and in the
stability Of prices of merchandise,
for fluctuations in the commercial
value of the material used as money
tends to disorganize industry and
seriously disturb trade.-Philadel-
phia Evening Item.
The above proposition would not
accomplish the object aimed at by
the silver men-the increase Of the
volume of money and to create a
demand for silver. The Items plan
might raise the price for limited
production, but that will not open
up any more mines nor assist the
poor miner who depends on the
daily production Of HE mine for
Subsistence, nor will it set the thous-
