degree of fame II not Of nOtOriety, In view
of the existing differences ON the silver
question, preached a scheme for holding

the far West against the East, CONNER
cial separation or secession being the

who favored the scheme were Pennoyer
Of Oregon and Stone Of Missouri. PEN
mover II man who has on several O.
casions demonstrated that he had an ex-
aggrrated idea Of the Importance Of his
positlbn. No reason IL given Why Gov
ern0r stone of Missouri should express
himself Ia favor Of such an impossible
scheme.
The prospect for unconditional repeal
Of the sherman Law 10 generally under
stood to he considerably better than II
MAS at the time congress met. IL has
been conceded that IL would pass the
house, but until recently Il WAS thought
that Il would fall Of q passage In the
senate. Now, however, IL Ii thought
likely that IL will pass the senate as well.
II Was q Maine boy who did not run
when hornets attacked him, but stood
his ground and tried scientific expert

suit left no room for doubt, and when
he did finally let 20 his breath he emitted
with IL yell that Was heard In the next
