A beginning has at last been made

menced to make it uncomfortable for
the local black-sheep of the profession.
and through its efforts one well.known
practitioner may be dlsbarred. Harry
Leroy, Boise barber, recently pre-
ferred charges of dishonesty against
the lawyer in question, but the COM

the association did not entertain them

forward to complain that the attorney
pocketed fee that he had given him.

action for divorce, which the client

If the association gives indications
of sincere, earnest intention to purge
the Idaho Bar of unworthy members
it will do a great deal of good, and
restore the profession in the esteem Of /
the people.

teemed as one of the most honorable

disrepute in Idaho that clients often
dread their own attorney more than
they do the opposing counsel.-Hailey

$50, 100000. 1t was down to $50.
100000 in 1870, to $50, 900, 900 in
1873, to $50, 000,0 600 in 1885, and to
an average Of about So, 100000 in
the past two or three years. This tells
the story. The United States, which
furnishes not far from hall the silver
OF the world, and not very far from a
third of its gold, is increasing its sup
ply Of the former product and decreas-
ing the supply Of the latter. The less
valuable metal is coming into the
market in larger quantities, and the
more valuable IN smaller quantities.
Supply has largely outrun demand
in silver in the past fifteen or twenty
years, In 1873, when the United
States produced 27,65O, 900 ounces OF
silver, the silver bullion in the dollar
coin was worth, in the market, 3 or A
mills over lOOc. in gold. This was the
average for that year. The metals
were about at par with each other at
the United States coinage ratio. Since
then the commercial value OF the sil.
yer in the dollar has not reached les
coinage value, and the gap between
these values has been broadening.
with some temporary fluctuations, all
along. In 1875 the silver in the dol.
lar was worth 96c; in 1880, ssc; in
1890, Soc, and in 1893 thus far about
65c. Supply grows while demand Is
stationary. Wheat, iron. cotton, Ia.
Dor, or anything else which is in The
market, would decline In price under
such conditions II Il easy to see .

ment which shall lead 70 the larger

Why Silver Falls.

According to the estimates OF The
Director of the Mint the amount Of
silver produced in this country in
1873 was 27,65O,OOO fine ounces, ard
in 1892 5S,OOO,OO fine ounces. Du.
ring almost all of this period the
growth in production was continuous.
Two or three times in the twenty years
there was a slight falling off in the
annual output as compared with the
previous twelve months, but this de.
ficiency was more than made up in
the succeeding year. In 1891 the
production was 5s,330,OO0 ounces.
and that Of 1892 is put at So, 0O0, 900.
Nobody believes that the slight reduc.
ton last year indicates that proddc.
ton has reached its maximum, and
that decline in the future is to be
looked for The general impression,
despite the assertions Of the mine
owners that they are cutting down
their output, is that the great total Of
58,330,OO0 ounces Of 1891 will be |
If not surpassed IN 1893.
Here is one of the causes of the
great decline in the price of silver.

critics one day, pushing me in front of

person lose faith in his fellow mortals?
Why. that artist ought to be 'slsied'
clear through the roof up to the starry
canopy for preaching such lesson of
extravaganza to the women who look
at his work. What if they all rush off
and array themselves in lowered rose
brocade, Venetian point, dancing slip

through a country meadow? Why,
great Scott, the bank failures would
not be in it, III country meadows were
all as Moquette e-carpet-like and clean

right, but trailing over wet clover was
never known to improve brocade, and
