The Habit OF Thinking.

Letting the mind veer backward ana

hui the man who knows how TO think
docs not DO that. He thinks, as he
reads, with definite purpose.
One cannot of course propose lines OF
thought in the abstract for unknown
persons, but one may indicate one or
two of the ways in which a man may
learn to get pleasure from thlnklng.
To begin with, he may follow the ex-
ample of the wise man who said :
s'When have nothing else to DO | sort

was an excellent plan. There are few

and inclination which is necessary for

Most of us, again, have confused
thoughts and intuitions, that this or
that thing connected with ourselves
or our families might be better done.
Let the man, then, who complains OF

or the Great Eastern, absorb himself
in definite scheme of meditation up
on something which has already clam

must not wait till the thought comes 10

The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1893-08-19

On the day before the last earth
quake of Zante a cloud of fluttering
objects, at first mistaken for locusts,
made its appearance near the
village of Megaponte, on the coast
of the Morea. As it approached
the village it. was seen to be bats
of a small, rust-colored variety
that haunt the coast swamps in
the night time and pass the day
in caves. Thousands of the
squeaking little excursionists
settled on the lower branches of
the shade trees or dropped on the
ground exhausted, as though they
had come considerable distance.
It is supposed that they had
established their dormitory in the
vaults of the large limestone
caverns six miles north of Mega
ponte and were dislodged by an
eruption of sulphurous vapors
from one of the volcanic clefts
that cross the coast range in all
directions.

Great
Battle
ID
On

The special session of con-
gross is hammering away on
the silver question. Our free
coinage champions are electri-
flying the nation by their elo-
quence, and the justice of their
demands is being recognized.
The gold-bug heart is being
filled with terror while the sill.
yer hosts go marching to vic
tory. The people the masses
the toilers-in short, you
are on the Threshold of one
of the greatests triumphs of
right and justice ever witnessed.
In the meantime the great fin.
ancial distress is upon US and
will continue until the silver
giant wrests the greedy fingers
of gold from the peoples
throat. There will be no i'm.
mediate relief, and the utmost
economy must be practiced.
A little cash goes long ways
now if judicially expended.
We have cut everything down
to hard time prices at our
store-not a few thinga but
everything. Prices are uniform
in every department. We
don't sell you a luxury below
cost to get rid of it, and then
make it up on a necessity. You
buy what you want and get the
advantage of low prices, with
out having to buy something
you don't want. Neither do
you pay the profit on some
body else's purchase.

of gold and silver should, after a
fair trial, fail to be Sustained, the
people of Idaho would be first to
support such other legislation as
should be shown to be necessary.
Compromises may be offered; We
are opposed to any and all COM
promises. We know that the gold
standard conspirators will try anv
experiment as a compromise pro-
position; and we challenge them to
try the simple plan of constitat-
ional free coinage Of both metals.
We throw down the gauntlet;
We know that they will not take it
up because they are aware that we
are right, and that this method
would hopelessly wreck all their
carefully laid plans; so we appeal
to the people of the country, asking
them to unite their voices with
ours in demanding the adoption of
the one plan which the logic of the
situation Suggests.
There are those who fear that we
might have too much silver, al
though the same persons would
not entertain such fear in relat-
ion to gold. There could be no
such thing as too much metallic
money. The history of the world
proves that these periods which
have witnessed the greatest pro.
duction of the money metals have
been the most prosperous that the
human race have ever known.
Great productions of these metals
enriches the arteries of commerce,
stimulates every department of
human industry, and spreads a
smiling prosperity among busy,
happy people. But there can be
no hope of such phenomenal pro-
duction. The life of a mine il
limited. The largest properties be-
come exhausted ia comparatively
few years, and new mines come for
ward no faster than the old ones
are closed. The mining district of
this country has been we'll explor.
ed and but few bonzana districts
can remain to be discovered. The
production may reach some what
higher figures under favorable con.
ditions, but it will functuate and
cannot permanently be much
larger than in recent years.
In conclusion we would point
out the fact that the headquarters
of the bondholders anti-silver con.
epiracy against the people is in
Great Britain. Within a few
months, the British premier, when
Intercepted in Parliament upon the
attitude of his government in re
gard to the larger use of silver
stated that Great Britain would
not consent to such q policy. All
the world owed England, he said
and the debts were payable in gold
It might be philantrophic to talk
about making payment easie,
through an enlarged use of silver
but that would not be in harmony
with British business principles
So We say to our fellow citizens
the contest is primarily agains,
a foreign foe; it is in tho interests
of the homes of the masses of oul
own people. We simply ask o.
every patriotic citizen that he in

thought necessary to arrive at cor.
rect conclusions. The people of
the east have not given it such
thought-they have carelessly &C.
cepted the explanation that the
prices of the products Of human
labor have declined because of over
production. That is false assum.
ton. We tell you prices have
shrunk because of the appreciation
Of basic money as result of the
application of the principle of
recommendation. You will agree
with rs in this proposition when
you have given the subject that in
dependent study and investigation
to which its Importance entities il.
We want to tell you again that this
rule of monometallism, if it be
finally fixed upon US, must apply
tn all classes of property. Values
must all shrink. The values of
your lands, the values of your
buildings, the values of your factor
les, the values of your railroads
must all be pared down. You can
not escape from it; neither the
efforts Of financiers nor the inter-
vention of clearing house associa-
tions can prevent the fall. When
the process of shrinkage shall have
been finished, Is per sent of your
stocks will have beer entirely
wiped off the boards Of the ex-
changes. Thousands of millions
of dollars of your investment
securities will not be worth as
much as the paper upon which they
are printed; they represent only an
equity; the bond holders comes
first and the value of the property
will not be sufficient to more than
pay the bond when finally meas
ured by the single gold standard.
Free coinage of silver will enlarge
the volume of basic money; it will
stop the fall of prices and establish
them upon a much higher plane;
it will add to the rewards of all
who toll: it will increase wages; it
will make the burdens of life
easier in the homes of the masses;
it will tighten the sky of industry /;
it will make music among the
spindles; it will put Thanksgiving
in the hearts, and songs on the lips
of millions; it will oyerturn the
bond-holders conspiracy and take
the yoke of hopeless poverty from
the necks of those who have been
ground into the dust beneath the
wheels Of this juggernaut of gold,

A Stirring Appeal for Silver to the

The financial question is the ab-

Fancy for Mems Gloves.

Having appropriated the woven under
wear, the tailor-made waistcoats and
Jackets. the gents furnishing goods. the
straw and felt hats and the comInon-sense
lasts OF the men, the girl of the period
has now levied upon his gloves. Instead
of snug-ftting, loose-wristed suede kid
from Paris, the demand Is for the heavy
red-brown Dent glove, with three or
four bone buttons. They are loose to
clumsiness. and to get the correct fit
they are bought at the haberdashers.
Red and yellow tan sell for s2.25: the
Smyrna browns. mahogany reds and the
military buck n kid range from $50
to $50, and are now worn for driving.
walking and shopping. This fashion has
the merit of economy as well as utility.
Big gloves last twice as long as tight
ones. and give the wearer the use OF
her hands as well as her finger tips.

Changes Which Have Been Made to

Very many uaint old customs still

from getting used to them. and in the
second place. householders were won't
to indulge in the habit OF throwing all
refuse OF every description out Of their

destrian was obliged to walk in the very
middle of the road or else run the risk
of being. deluged with dish-watcr or
stunned by cabbage stumps.
Now all that Is changed: one Is not
allowed even to shake a rug out of tho
front window after 10 o'clock in the
morning. AMI the infringement OF that
rule brings an irate policeman and to
hardened offenders a fine. In fact. 80

He received damages on the ground
that the city had not kept its monu-

the duty of the municipal authorities
to see that no proiectiles were hurled
from them. The city thought so. too,
by closing the doors of the Partisan col
umnS against all visitors.
