Ignatius Donneily was then called
upon and spoke for half an hour. He
spoke of the great European conspir-
acy against silver, aided by coadjutors
in America. This silver question was
but an incident in the great struggle
covering the world-the battle of the
plutocracy against the people. But
mankind cannot be destroyed to
please an oligarchy of bankers. The
people have arisen and by their
voices and ballots will be head.
Donnelly asked all who believed
that John Sherman had done more
good than harm to hold up his
right hand. Not hand went up.
He then asked for all who believed
that Sherman had done more harm
than war and pestilence to hold up
their hands, and nearly every hand
in the room went up.
After Donnelly's speech recess
was taken until P. NJ.
The evening session was devoted to
short talks upon the issue in which
all are so vitality interested.
The committee on resolutions this
evening made ex-senator Reagan
chairman. and Robert Schilling of
Wisconsin secretary. A sub-com-
mittee, consisting OF Reagan, Bryan
of Nebraska, Patterson of Colorado,
Bartine OF Nevada, Donnelly of Min
nesota, George Washburn OF Mass

Straight Tips.

The subscribers of country paper
always expect to see the edition full
of local happenings whether anything
happens or not. This should not be
expected, as it is impossible to write
up runaways, weddings, accidents and
murders when nothing of the kind
takes place every day in small
place like this. During the past few
days two runaways have taken place
two sorrel horses, which were caught,
and two giddy girls not worth catch
ing. Saloon brawls are numerous,
chestnutty in fact. The buildings
commented upon in this paper are
not yet finished. Horseback and
bicycle riding are still INDUCED in, and
we still sing "After the Ball. ;"
Water is still very scarce, and will be
as long as that San Francisco com
pany monopolizes the water right.
In fact we town people are very
docile, we even pay for water we
don't get. As far as drinking goes
water is not missed much, but at the
same time beer is too expensive to
irrigate with.

THE CONS rock SITUATION.
The Miners Union win Not Agree to q
Reduction OF Wages.

a Carson Appeai representative has
been in Virginia during the past few
days cleaning what he could OF the
situation on the Comstock. One
member Of the miners union who
was interviewed said: "Our meet
ings are secret, and can give moth
ing official. You can say that it will
be big surprise if the miners accept
a reduction. Our wages are none too
large, and we don't propose to work
in the drifts and inhale the poisonous
gases for less than 81, while men are
loafing in San Francisco drawing fat
salaries as superintendent and sec
retaries of a dozen different COM
panies. We have enough money in
our treasury to run us a long time.
and none of our members who are
out of employment will suffer. This
talk about putting 1000 men to work
at So day is all bosh. If the mine
owners meant business they would
put their proposition in black and
white. Ii they would put in writing
a proposition to put 900 men on for
a year at So so we would consider it,
but we will not be caught in trap
Another miner said: ''Let them
begin their economy with the mills
Why, not long ago mine here lost
$4,000 Il month, the mill that crushed
the ore made about $1,000 on it. The
mill "sump hole" takes the money
out OF the mining industry, and when
the mills reduce their rates, as they
can still make profit, there will be
no need of d reduction Of wages. Let
an outsider 90 down to those heated
levels and see if he thinks 81 too
much pay. But under economical
management and cheap milling there
need be no cut in wages"
The miners asserted that the re-
ports of low-grade ore were mislead
ing. "Why, / saw ore in drift not
long ago that assayed $3.50 ton and
the ear samples of that same ore were
reported at $40. The game has been
played long time and covered up a
great deal of crooked work. We see
what's going on and keep our mouths
shut. While we know these things
we don't propose to stand reduction
in our wages, because we know that
if the mines were honestly managed
there would be no need of reduc-
ton"
The amount claimed to be in the
treasury of the union is $4,000 with
$4,000 promised from the unions OF
San Francisco and also quite u sum
from Butte city, Montana, which on
a former occasion was aided by the
Virginia miners union.

Old Time Banking Methods.

While discussing the matter of tho
troubles and trials of banking business
Of today President James Espy Of the
Ohio Valley National bank said to q
group of friends: 81 tell you that we do
not know anything about the peculiari-
ties of the banking business. I have
heard officials of the bank when l was be-
ginning in the business rehearse the expe-
riences in early banking in Virginia. AS
is well known, the residents of that state
were not much given to business tactics.
Whenever they had occasion to issue a
note, and it was quite frequent, the bank
officials had to drive around to the vari-
GUS farms, or to the place where the
maker lived, and it was quite difficult to
get them to sign the original, but much
more SO renewal. Experts got so they
could tell whether the note was renewed
in the house or in the field, as they could
tell whether it was written on the POM
mel of saddle or at a regular desk."-

Did you ever stop to consider the fac
that the inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side of the moon, and
to inquire the reasons why such is the
case? The explanation is this: The moon
makes one revolution on her axis in the
same period of time that she takes up in
revolving once around the earth, thus
the same geographical region of the lunar
surface is always toward us. As one ex-
PLANTATION usually calls for another, 1t
may not be out of place to mention the
fact that the reasons the two motions Of
the moon above referred to so nearly
coincide are these:
The moon is not true globe, but is
very elliptical in form. 1t did not in all
probabilities originally start ON its axial
rotation with precisely the same velocity
with which it moved around the earth,
but the very best astronomers say that
the two motions were not far apart in
the start. Assuming that the moon was
semi-liquid or at least soft in those re-
mote days, the earth's attraction caused
the lunar surface to elongate, and in the
untold ages which followed its axial ro-
tation, owing to the attractive influence
of both the earth and the sun, was made
to correspond with its orbital movement
around the earth.-St. Louis Republic.

A Courageous CorporaI.

When Lord Rawdon was in South
Carolina, he had to send an express of
great Importance through part of the
country filled with continental troops.
A corporal Of the Seventeenth dra-
goons, known for his courage and intel
ligence, was selected to escort it.
They had not proceeded far when they
were fired upon, the express was killed
and the corporal wounded in the side.
Careless of his wound, he thought only
of his duty. He snatched the dispatch
from the dying man and rode on till,
from the loss of blood, he fell. Then
fearing the dispatch would be taken by
his enemy, he thrust it into his wound
until the wound closed upon it and con-
cealed it. He was found next day by a
British patrol, with smile of honorable
pride upon his countenance, and with
life just sufficient to point to the fatal
depository Of his secret.
In searching the body the cause of his
death was found, for the surgeon de-
clared that the wound in itself was not
mortal, but was rendered 30 by the irri-
tation Of the paper.
Thus fell this patriot soldier-in rank
a corporal, he was in mind hero. His
name was O'Lavery, and he came from
the parish of Moira, in County Down,
Ireland.-Youth's Companion.

Appearances May Deceive.

Should you happen to SEQ a girl walk
ing along the street with her face
wreathed in placid smiles, don't take it
for granted that she feels perfectly con-
tented and happy. For the truth is that
She may be having a nerve destroying
argument with herself as to whether her
skirt and waist meet properly in the back.
Shemay have tiny hole in her shoe and
be perfectly wretched over the thought
of getting her silk stocking soiled.
She may be on the verge of insanity
because she knows that the one pin with
which she fastened her skirt is going to
give way.
She may be conscious of big chunk
of SCOT that has found lodgment on the
end Of her nose.
She may remember that there is but
one hairpin in her hair, and that it would
be just her luck il it were all to tumble
down.
She may hear O little snap and may
know that her garter has broken. That,
however, is simply too horrible for words.
