mince words. If the silver column in
the senate maintains it's equilibrium,
and is not prostrated by the assaults
OF the money changers of Wall street
and their copartners, but shall, by
every legitimate and proper means,
prevent the passage of the present
measure and save silver from being
strangled, we shall have performed
only our simple duty to the country
no more, no less.
= Senators oiS-i,1 other Sts- have al
Thhded to their responsibilities, and
challenge the criticism of their constit-
uents touching their action, even tn ose
who have hitherto occupied opposite
positions on this issue. 1t is not for
me to question the sincerity of any OF
my colleagues of the senatorial body.
Mr.. President, the extent of the re-
sponsibilities of the friends OF silver
on this floor are not to be measured
by the questionable standard OF the
money centers. We represent the
voice OF the people, and the voice OF
the people, according to the maxim,
is the voice OF God.
The tenet OF the silver faith to which
we cling. is free silver coinage at a ra-
tio of 16 to / or at least such legisla
tion on this basis as will restore silver
to its former place with gold as q
money of the constitution. This is
shibboleth of the friends of silver, and
on this we put ourselves upon the
country"

Protection Against Tram Robbers.

One OF our correspondents suggests
the use of electricity as an auxiliary
to Winchesters and shot guns, for
protection of express cars and the
locomotive against train robbers.
This might prove effectual ii the cur
rent could be brought under control
so as to avoid killing or injuring
friends as well as foes. This suggestion
seems to be very good one and is
worthy the attention of electrical in
ventors.
We make a fur5her suggestion of the
use of hot water from the locomotive
for the protection OF the engineer and
fireman, of baggage and express men.
By means of suitably arranged jets
under control OF the engineer, fireman,
baggageman or expressman, without
doubt a very warm welcome could bs
given to train robbers. No doubt
some arrangement of pipes and valves
and jets could be devised which could
thoroughly protect the engineer and
fireman and the several baggage or
express cars.-Scientific American.

The True System.

George Roberts, OF Johnson county,
Wyoming, has a pack of 10 trained
wolf hounds, for which he paid $500.
They are guaranteed to pick up trail
thirty-six hours old and stay with it
until the game is jumped. They are
great fighters, run together and delight
in pulling down wolves. Mr.. Roberts
got these dogs at the suggestion of the
stockmen, and intends to use them
this fall and winter to kill wolves in
that and adjoining counties. He in
tends to 60 out on the range, take hay
and grain and camp and hunt the
pests systematically. He has had a
lot of notes printed and will 60 to
each owner of stock in the counties
and request them to sign these notes
agreeing to pay him SO much for every
wolf killed for any amount from 10
cents up as they feel able. He will
travel with his dogs wherever he
can hear of bunch of wolves COM
mitting depredations, and says that
he feels sure that he can either kill or
run every wolf out OF the country in
the next year.-Stock Growers Jour-
nal.

corrected time, 3:25:O1; Valkyrie,
start, 1925, finish 3:O2:24; elapsed
time, 3:37:25; corrected time, $780,
SO.
Thus the Vigilant beat the Valkyrie
by twelve minutes and twenty-three
seconds on elapsed time, and after
taking off minute and forty-eight sec
onds, time allowance, by ten minutes
and thirty-five seconds.
New YORK, Oct 13.- The last of
the races between the British yacht,
Valkyrie, and the American yacht,
Vigilant, was sailed today. Fortu-
nately it was good Valkyrie weather.
There was a gale OF nearly thirty miles
per hour from the east, with good
bit of sea on, so that the racers got a
good wetting as they ploughed through
old ocean. There was a haze over the
water, making observation somewhat
difficult.
When the time for the start came
the Nalkyrie was considerable dis
tance from the line and though the
gun Z" DC III GU tuC Sbdl Ch ~
allow her to come up, apparently,
though from her movements, it might
have been due to some accident. The
start was delayed till after noon,
when the starting gun was finally
| fired.
The Vigilant wasin better position
and got over the line about minute
ahead OF the EnglIshman, laying the
course on a dead beat windward to
the east. Both boats were on a port
tack at the start. The breeze was
stiff and the sea choppy. Three min
utes after the start the Nigilant tackled
across the Nalkyrie's bow and min
ute later, at 12:14, tackled toward
shore. The Valkyrie at once followed
suit, both sending spray over their
decks, but the Valkyrie did not seem
to be as wet as the American.
The Nalkyrie rounded the stake at
2:39. The Nigilart turned three min,
utes and twenty seconds later. The
wind had increased and the boats
came home at a tremendous speed.
At $50 there was three-quarters o
mile gap between the boats, the Val
kyrie leading. The yachts were plough
ing the water at terrific speed, tn,
Vigilant steadily gaining on the Val
kyrie.
!. At 1888 the Nigilant had taken tn,
lead and crossed the line at 3:51 80
the Valkyrie getting across at $685.
At 3:34 the men on the Nalkyri
were seen running to and fro and ;
glance showed her silk spinnaker spill
into Tapping ribbons. 1t was quickl,
brought down and another boiste:
with marvellous rapidity. Short al
the delay was, it is feared it lost th'
Valkyrie the race, for the boats wer,
very close together. Meanwhile thu
Vigilant was driving along at a furious
rate and crossed the finish line winner
according to corrected time, by forty
seconds. 1t was one of the finest race,
seen in years. Forty seconds on a
beat to windward of fifteen miles ant
return is SO close that the splitting o
the Valkyrie's spinnaker might easily
account for it.
The official record shows: Corrected
time, Valkyrie 3:35:19, Vigilan,
3:24:39; elapsed time. Valkyri,
3:53:52, Vieilant 3:24:39; time passed
the finish, Valkyrie 3:53:52, Vigilan'
351:39.

More Cleveland Wages.

A Duluth, Mimi, special says:
Wages of lumbermen for the coming
winter in the woods of the Duluth ard
Ashland timber districts will be a lit
tie over two-thirds the schedule OF
former years. Timber operators in
Duluth have tacitly agreed to pay 81 z
TO S19 month, and board, to men
who stay in the woods all winter, and
so cents, or little over, per day TO
men who leaves the camps before
spring. Two large concerns here are
hiring men on a written contract for
SIG a month for all winter, and S12
for short time. In the Ashland dis
trict the wage scale is even less, from
S12 to SIS.

Great Blowout OF the Myers Cannery
Moueoliaua.


Great Blow ont OF the Myers Cannery
Mengolians.
The jolliest crowd in the city last night
was the Cinnamon at Myers cannery. It
was the celebration of the Chinese Labor
day-that is. the day on which the labor
ing people of China celebrate some event
namen employed in the cannery had q
great feast last night.
The menu consisted of chicken and duck
cooked in Chinese style, Chinese fish, rice,
wine and the Lord knows what not
After eating, the Cinnamon engaged in
their usual game that no one but them
selves seems to fully understand. The
principle of it appears to be that two of the
Cinnamon keep rapidly repeating some
sentences in concert, gestIculating with
one hand at the same time, and the one
who makes the first mistake. in either
language or gesture, loses and has to take
drink of wine.
Ali through the large mess house were
Cinnamon engaged by pairs at this game,
yelling at the highest pitch, so they could
be heard block away. In another apart
ment were All Sung, the foreman, his wife
and child; All Vote, another foreman !:
William Stewart. the superintendent, and
Bookkeeper Scott, oil seated at table eat
ing and joking.
All Sung and Vote have worked for
Myers every season for fifteen years past
and all the white men employed around
the cannery have the highest regard for
them, as have their fellow Chinese labor
ers.
Another prominent figure about the can
merry every year 10 King Sing, who does
most of the boat building for the cannery.
He is n good carpenter and Mr.. Myers
thinks a great deal of him. Sing was
formerly married to aSklootchman and he
Is great tillacum with the siwash. He is
considerable of genius and for last
nights festivities he made large cylinder,
covered with Chinese tissue paper, in the
top of which were cut fans like a wind
mill, so that the hot air from large lamp
placed inside caused the cylinder to re-
volve. On the outside of the cylinder he
had images of men and animals. making
a miniature panorama as it turned around.
Mr.. Stewart says that no matter how
much they feast or drink they are all sure
to be on deck when the time for work
comes IN the morning.

CHICAGO, Sept. AT the Worlds labor

made an address, his subject being 1.-THE

Among those on the platform were Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. and delegates from the
Social Democratic Federation of Great
Britain. The archbishop began by saying
the cause of labor was espoused by the
Catholic church, and added:
AT the very foundation of the labor
question lies proper appreciation of the
individual man. Religion. says Leo KILL.

that their work people are not their slaves !;
that they must respect in every man his
dignity as man aud as Christian: that
labor Is nothing to be ashamed of, but is
an honorable employment, enabling man
