STATE SlLVERlCoNVEN1IoN CALLED.
It Will be Held in Ketchum, Monday,
August IA, 1898.

To The People Of the State Of IdDho::
Owing to the position which I occupy,
as the Chief Executive of our State, feel
it to be my duty to call upon the citizens
of the various counties to meet IN county
conventions in their respective counties
and elect delegates to attend State Con-
veution which hereby announce will be
held in
Ketchum, AIturas County. August IA, 1888
/ suggest that the county conventions
be held on Saturday, Aug. 5, and that the
primaries be held the proceeding Satur
day, July 20.
To promote harmony and unity OF &C
ton in bringing together this important
meeting, l appeal to the chairmen OF the
different political organizations In each
county to meet at once and arrange tor
holding jointly the primaries and conven-
tions advised.
The meeting in Ketchum will be held
for the purpose of adopting resolutions
which will announce to Congress and to
the WHOLE NATION the views of Idaho on
the silver question, and at the same time
to determine if possible what will be the
best line of action for the future.
NY object in deferring this meeting
until the time indicated was twofold:
Firs1-By the time the extra session
will have met, we will be in possession
of the Presidents views as expressed IN
his message;
Second-The Press Association of Ida
no will meet in Ketchum on the same
day, and we Will have the valuable aid OF
its members.
Realizing the fnanclal.embarrassments
! under which cur peopleslabor, l suggest
that contributions be made at each county
convention for the purpose of defraylng
the expenses of delegates, and that each
county send as large delegation as pos
sible.
| I will confer with the railrond authorl
ties and secure for the delegates the low
est possible rates.
At no time since the organization o.
this government have the requirements
of the occasion demanded wiser stateman
ship of more dignified conduct on th'
part of our people than the present.
Let us meet and talk with one another
not of revolution and riot, but OF the bcs
method of restoring to our country tina
prosperity which was so abundantly our
hefore the demonetization of silver.
The press OF the state Is respectfuli.
asked to publish this notice.

Can States Coin Silver Money T

Since the fual danger to silver
appeared the Denver News has re-
ceived very many communications
urging that the Colorado legislature
should authorize the coinage OF sill
YER into money and declare 1t
legal tender.
The Dallas { Texas Times-Herald,
a sterling free coinage paper, strong
ly recommends that league be-
tween Texas and other silver states
shall be formed-for each to coin
silver money making it legal tender,
and through the comfy of states
recognize the coinage of each as
legal tender in the others. "Ihe
timid trader may say" it continues,
"this will cut of commercial inter
course-we cannot buy in the mar
kets of the world. Then quit buy
ing and start factories at home. A
thousand factories will work no
harm to Texas"
The News comments on THIS as
follows:
"The reasoning of the Times Her
aid is as follows: The congress OF
the United States must seek war
rant and authority for its every act
within the lines lsid down by the
federal constitution. With state
legislature the rule is the reverse.
Unless inhibited by state or federal
constitutions or restrained by sol
emn treaties, there is practically
no limit to the power of state leg
islature. It is as omnipotent as the
parliament of Great Britain. II
then says the federal constitution
| does not inhibit a state Legislature
from authorizing the state to coin
silver into money and declaring II
legal tender, and quotes the pro
vision of the federal constitution
that mo state shall make any
thing but gold and silver tender
in payment of debts,' urging tha
this negative is the equivalent o
authority to states to make sllvel
coin of their own creation lega
tender money.
eff the News could discover any
authority in the federal constitution
for what has been so frequently sug
gested it would without hesitation
urge that the state adoptit. ltwou!t
enable Colorado and the West, II
spite of congress and an advers
president, to keep our mines opel
and supply them with an abund
ance of the best money in the world
But, alas, there is no such authority
as a little investigation will con
vince the most ardent supporter Q
the plan.
1.-The federal constitution pro
vides that the congress shall nav
power to coin money and regulat
the value thereof. This means tha
congress and congress only pos
sesses that power, and state legl'
latures can exercise no such power
Indeed the legislature further ea
pressly provides that mo state sha
+ coin money, emit bills {
credit or make anything but gol
and silver coin tender in paymen
of debts
"The states are prohibited fror
making anything but gold and 81

mot mean that they may make gol

The Very First American Coins.

The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be strictly
American" was ordered by the orig
inal Virginia Company in the year
1912, only five years after the found
ing of jamestown. These COINS
were minted at Somers Islands, now
known as the Burmudas. For
period of more than quarter OF a
century after this, however, tobacco
and beaver skins were reckoned as
lawful currency. In 1915 the As
sembly of Virginia met and declared
that it chad maturely weighed and
considered how advantageous a
quoine coin would be to this Col,
ony. and how much better it would
be than sole dependency upon
tobacco and pelts." After this they
provided for the coinage of copper
coins of the denominations OF 2
pence, 3 pence, 6 and 8 pence; but
this resolution was never carried
| into effect. The first coinage IN
America proper was the series Of
coins ssstruck" at Boston under the
order of the General Court of Mas
sachusetts, passed May 27, 1867
the coins being 8, 6 and II pence
denominations, 'in forme haat ano

ACCORDING to an old story
preacher told a little girl, in answer
to a query that everything was IN
heaven as it is upon earth, except
there were no newspapers there, be-
cause they couldn't get enough
printers through the pearly gates
to set the type. But the preachers
theory is now exploded, says an
exchange. A newspaper foreman
has been heard from through a
spiritualistic medium. and ne says
heaven is full of printers, reporters
and editors, but it would be impos-
sible to run = newspaper there as
elsewhere, without "devll. mus

The Floor of the Ocean.

The expedition sent out under
the auspices of the British govern
ment for the purpose of mapping
the floor of the ocean has, after four
wears of sounding and dredging,
published it's reports and maps.
They show that the Atlantic Ocean,
if drained, would be vast PLAIN,
with a mountain range near the
centre, running parallel with our
coast. Another range intersects this
almost at right angles, and crosses
from Newfoundland to Ireland.
According to these maps the Attain
tic is thus divided into three great
basins. but they are no longer
termed "unfathomed depths"
The tops of most of the sea
mountains are two miles below the
surface, the deepest Of the two bas-
ins two and half miles deeper.

THE BLIND CHAPLAIN.
HIS Grief ON Hearing of His SONS Suicide.
a Pitiful Sight,

APitiful Sight
CHICAGO, May 29.-It was late last
night when the famous blind preacher,
Rev, W. H. Milburn, chaplain OF the
national house OF representatives,
Washington, D, O., was informed at
Jacksonville, of the suicide OF his son
in Chicago by throat cutting, DR.. Mil
burn exclaimed "poor boy, it is too
bad" The blind man, now in his
10th year, sitting up in bed by pale
light and learning Of the tragic death OF
his son, made pitiful sight,
After u pause he said that his son
was born in New York, For several
years Fletcher had led rather wayward
and reckless lie and was addicted to
the habit OF drinking, and but recently
had taken the gold cure at Denver, For
some time he had been engaged as a
hotel clerk in Denver, but becoming
dissatisfied he applied to his father for
his influence toward securing q posi-
ton. Tho father has been trying to
get him q government position and to
that end bas written many letters while
at Jacksonville. Dependency, or anger
at refusal OF financial help by tho father
was the cause of the tragedy, The son
was thirty years old. Tho reason given
by the father for declining to send
money was poverty.

A state Court Rules That the Fair Oar
Opon On Sunday.

A State Court Rules That the Fair Gan
Open On Sunday.
CHICAGO, May 29,-Judge Stein to-day
issued temporary injunction restrain.
ing the exposition directory from clos
ing the Worlds Fair on Sunday.
The decision was made in accordance
with the prayer OF a bill filed some
weeks ago by Charles W. Klingman, OF
Chicago, in behalf OF himself as a stock
holder in the exposition company and
US citizen. The proceedings wore in
the state courts, and were entirely dis.
tinct from the more recent case in tho
federal courts, to which the United
States government is party. Judge
Stein held that Congress had made no
law compelling Sunday closing.
In going over the federal law Judge
Stein found that in the act Of Congress
creating the exposition it was expressly
provided that no rule or regulation con-
ilicting with the state law OF Illinois
should be enforced. Under this law
the whole OF Jackson Park would be
thrown open to the public on all days
OF the week. Later, on October II,
1892, the appropriation then made by
Congress provided for Sunday closing,
The condition was accepted by the
commissioners and directors. This con-
stituted legal contract, and thus far
woll and good-the gates could be kept
closed legally.
However, the court went on, "while
1t. takes two to make contract, it takes
two also to break it," he said that while
it had been shown that Congress had
Withdrawn from its agreement by with
holding n part OF the appropriation,
nothing to show that the fair authori.
tics had accepted the additional condi-
ton had been given in evidence. This,
he said, left the matter,in the hands OF
tho fair authorities. Touching the
moral side urged by the petitioner,
Charles Howard, who asked for an order
for Sunday closing, tho court said that
it could not consistently grant the peti.
ton asked. Howard had taken the posi-
ton that this was a Christian govern.
ment and Christianity was part Of the
law of tho country,
"This is clearly not so," said the
court. "The position is clearly unten.
able in a country Of religious freedom"

CmoAao, ILL, May 29.-oyer half Of
the l4O turnstiles at tho Worlds
Fair are out OF order and do not record
the number OF visitors who pass into
the grounds As consequence there
is no way OF keeping an accurate count
OF the attendance. 1t also gives the
seventy odd gate keepers at these faulty
turnstiles an excellent opportunity to
hold out admission tickets.
The bureau Of admissions has becn
on the outlook for this, aud already
half a dozen gatemen have been dis
charged for attempting to steal tickets,
and several are under arrest An entire
new lot OF turnstiles has been pur-
chased, and as soon as possible they
will bo put in place. On account of
the faulty turnstiles it will be impos-
sible 10 tell the number OF visitors at
thefairon Sunday until tho tickets taken
at the various gates have all been
counted. 1t Is known that over 10000
tickets were sold ut the booths outside
the gates. To these must be added
those sold by the various railway COM
panies which carry passengers to the
fair Then there are 10000 passes
issued to workmen, concessiOnaires, ex-
