Rather Thoughtless.

The Pennington Journal has
the following fiatteriug natice in
its third issue
Frank Rector has gone to
Cotton Wood Idaho. We have
been to that blooming burg and
came away as quick as the Lord
would let us. Many others have
done likewise"
The editor of the Journal has
evidently forgotten himself. We
have in the past been much an
noyed by worthless fellows COM
ing to the town and trying to OH
tain credit for pair Of boots or
the like, only to leave ahead of
the regular stage with bill un-
paid, and as far as we know the
Lord put no distractions in their
way. Some even found a longer
stay quite difficult and danger
GUS. Judging from the EDITORS
familiarity with the name of our
town his stay was not very pro-
tracted, and his knowledge of the
place must have been limited,
Doubtless some of the editors
now in Canada could publish a
notice which might read as fol-
lows:---
Jim Jones has gone to the
United States. We have been
to that blooming country and
came away as quick as the Lord
would let us. Many others have
done likewise.

As the Wind Bloweth.

The Free Press in its issue of
the 26th comes out withe some
what lengthy article on, 'sThat
200-barrel MILL" in which it de-
nounces it as mot being a legit-
innate proposition" and fan en-
terprise in which no man of or
binary business prudence would
invest money"
As to the matter of the profits
that the promoters of the enter
prise are to make, the REBoRT
does not consider it its business
TO argue or discuss, feeling conf
dent that the men who have
undertaken the enterprise are
not only business men enough to
know what they are doing, but.
able to attend to the same with
out the personal supervision of
our editor pp that OF the Free
Press. The REPORT cares not, SO
far as the proposition is concern
ed, whether the proprietors of
the sane make one dollar, or one
million out Of the enterprise, SO
long IS they fulfill their contracts
and give to Camas Prairie mar
ket which we lack.
The part of the article that in
terests the REPORT is, the fact,
that we notice slight shedding
Of the moss on the Free Press
editors back, inasmuch as he
denounces the matter of all sub
sides as follows:
Personally, we are opposed to
the whole rotten system of sub
sides, bounties, tariffs, subven-
tions and bonuses, whereby
little is taken from each of the
few"
Further on in his article he
says:
"The only proposition for
which a subsidy is at all justfi-
able in this section, is to induce
q railroad to build here and give
us an outlet to the markets of the
world. A subsidy for such pur-
pose will receive the cordial sup
port OF the Free Press, the per-
sonal cooperation of its editor
and the united and hearty sup
port of every man on this side of
Camas Prairie"
Consistency thou art virtue!
Note the wording of the article
from pne who pretends to be the
savior not only Camas Praire,
but Elk City and Florence, and
who now denounces the mill prop
psition, which by the way comes
to Cottonwood. He is opposed
to any method that will enrich
the few, except,.to assist a rail-
road to build "HERE" and give
''us" a market, and further at
will not only receive the valua-
ble(?) support of we editor him
self, but "every man on THIS sIDE
OF the prairie"
As a matter of caution, the
REPORT would advise the rail-
way officials to be very careful
in securing the valuable assis-
lance of the Free Press and it's
editor, as if tht railroad should
not go to Grangeville, both the
Free Press and its editor might
Jump a switch and ruin, not only
the railway proposition, but in
turn totally destroy the company
ITSELF.
The Free Press reminds us, in
its actions, of the mud-turtle.
As long as everything goes to
his liking he paddles along,
dragging his weight of shell and
moss and never gets speed enough
to even disturb the ripples of the
placid surface. He has plenty of
food, plenty Of water and mud.

CARLISLE'S POLICY
Receives an Almost Unanimous Endorsement
From Democrats.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The comments
INDUCED in by leading Democratic sena-
tors and representatives who are In the
city, on the financial statement Of Secre-
tary Carlisle, are remarkable for the unan-
unity of sentiment in its favor from per-
sons differing in matters of detail. Con-
cerning gold and silver the silverites man-
tain that the secretary leans toward the
use of silver for redemption purposes.
On the other hand. the gold-standard ad-
vocates hold that it means that the secre-
tary intends to adhere to their views. The
secretary was asked whether anything
additional was To be said on this subject.
His reply was that 1.-The statement covers
all that have to say at the present time. I"
There Is one fact, however, which Is now
very clear He does not intend to redeem
the treasury notes i'm silver. The impress
sion has been prevalent both here and in
New York, that when the 500, ,00O, 900 gold
reserve limit was reached the secretary
would redeem these notes in silver instead
of gold.
II there ever was any such purpose,
President Cleveland settled that matter in
his conference with Secretary Carlisle,
when the latter submitted his proposed
statement. Representative Springer also
confirms this construction Of the meaning
of the secretary's statement.

Prof. Andrews Give His First Lecture on
"Siiver."
Prof. Andrews OF Brown University de.
livered his first lecture on ''Silver" in the
University Extension course at the High
School building last evening.
In brief he spoke as follows:
"We are quite right In speaking of the
silver dollar AZ the dollar Of our fathers.
The amount of silver in 1t is the same as
1t always has been.
"The basis OF England's currency was
silver until 1915 when gold became t he
basis. We made great mistake In 1879
when our silver was demonetized, and
from then until 1878 silver dollars were
not legal tender.

trine which is besutiful, scientific, and
sometimes think divine.
"Let three or four powerful nations say
the ratio of Is 12 to I shall prevail be
tween gold and silver and 1t will pre-
vail. In the money OF the world gold and
silver exist In about equal portions.
"The gold dollar Is the degraded dollar.
By the bill of 1884 about 8 per cent. of It's
value was scooped out. The great mis-
take Of our monetary history was made in
not adhering to the ratio OF 10 IL.
Had we stuck to that there would have
been no debates, no recriminatiOns and
no Brussels conference. In 1892 the ratio
stood 10 to 1; at the beginning OF the pres
ent century, 10 11-2. 1t Is now IS. The
cardinal years of our monetary history
have been 1892, 1884, 1887, 1857 and 1873.

veterans good nsture prevailed and the
affair was a pronounced success. About
$50 sat down at the festive board and dis
posed of an immense quantity of Havens'
chowder, keeping up witty conversation
as the steaming dishes were filled and re-
filed.

Among those present were Aldermen
Davis and O'Reilly, ex-Aldermen Smith

speeches were short and pleasant, and
many joke was told at the expense OF

STRANGE, BUT TRUE!
Enormous Interest Paid
TO a Broker.
POOR MAN BORROWS $500.
He Has Paid Half Back and $1,000 in
Interest"

Brokers and money lenders are q
fixture In every large town and city, and
the number rapidly grows with the gen.
erai line of business and increase OF pop
ulation.
Especially is the field for reaping q
much better harvest when a laboring class
of people desire to use the money for What
they claim benefit and Improvement to
themselves and their homes.
There are several we'll established money
loan and brokers' offices who are doing a
nice business from the laboring class in
the majority. Mortgages are taken on
nearly all classes of articles.
An almost incre dible story is told
by q man residing on the East side who
for some time has been within the clutch
e. of broker.
The gentleman referred to, about 1C
years ago was compelled, through rever-
ses, to hire the sum of $500. He was
charged 10 per cent. interest a month
and troubles of q financial nature came
thicker and faster.
He kept at the above rate from the time
OF the loan until the present and has a,
last succeeded in getting half squared
up with the broker. The amount paid AT
interest figures about q 900 and he still
owes e1t0.
His predicament Is but one of many
others.

zANTE'S EARTHQUAKE.
The City Almost Wholly Destroyed and Their
Is Great Sufferinu.

ATHENS, April 22.-Details Of the calam
lty that has befallen the island OF Zant
show that since the beginning of April
there have been total of 100 earthquakes.
The island is peculiarly liable to disturb
ances of this kind, and but little atten-
tion was paid to the shocks, as they were
for the most part light and did no damage.
When the terrific shock came on Monday
morning last the city Of Zante was prac
tically wholly destroyed. There are not in
the city five houses that are safe for tn,
people to live in. 1t Is now known that
$50 persons lost their lives In the disaster,
And this list is likely to be added to when
the ruins are cleared away, II this is ever
done.
NJ. DraQumir, acting minister of the in
terror, who has made a journey through
the villages lying In the vicinity of the
capital, reports that he found scarcely a
house standing.
The suffering among the homeless peo-
pie ia great In Zante 1t is dangerous to
pass along the streets In consequence Of
the condition Of many of the houses that
are left standing which threaten to topple
over at any MON ent
