BULLET-PROOF UN2FORMS.

Inventive genius has in recent years
largely given itself to the develop
ment of destructive weapons of war
fare. Heavy guns, dynamite pro-
jectiles, rifles for infantry that are
loaded and fired with destructive eff
feet and incredible celebrity, smoke
less powders, torpedo boats, electric
search lights, and a myriad of other
devises to make quick and certain the
destruction of human life in battle on
land and sea, have been brought to q
high stage of perfection.
But the other side has been looked
after, too The student of means of
offense and defense will probably in a
few years find that everyone of the
wonderful inventions for human
slaughter has been offset by another
to preserve life on the battlefield.
The entire press of Europe is giving
much attention to the experiments
which have been made with a bullet
proof cloth invented by Herr Dove,
of Maneheim, Germany. This cloth
is flexible and is intended of be worn
over uniforms, and suit of it will
weigh six pounds. Steel-faced bull
lets from the newest rifles have
failed to penetrate it at any distance
greater than 100 meters.
Agents of death and those which aim
to save life are both being rapidly
developed. Some time both will
reach their ultimate limit, and per-
haps each will offset the other. Per
haps then the nations will have ac-
quired wisdom and may not learn war
any more.

seen that the Washington temperature
relative to that of Bismark was % de-
grees lower than usual. Many hold
to the theory, says Prof. Hazen, that
our cold comes from the extreme
northwest, but this could hardly have
been true in the case quoted. The
professor mentions the fact that
usually storms going to the north
ward draw in the warm south wind
and heat up the air, but states that
the opposite effect has been observed
the present year. This condition he
credits to the southwark trend OF the
high areas, which has given an alb
normally cold season to the South and
cold south winds to the North. ''It is
the general opinion" says Professor
Hazen, ''that of late our winters have
greatly moderated, though some be-
lieve to the contrary. The records do
not show any very great change, the
average temperature in the ten year
periods have remained constant. We
are more likely to remember the great
blizzard of March, 1888, than the great
warmth of $780," AS it seems to US,
the present winter has been knock

There is an article in the Scottish
ReUielU which sets forth the very sat
isfactory results in England in reduc-
ing the death rate, which have been
due to sanitary reform to have dated
from 1873, a marked Improvement is
shown by the figures to have taken
place in the seventeen years which
have elapsed between the date and
1889. The diminution in the death
rate for that time in the whole of Eng
land and Wales was from 21 2 to II 9
per 1000 of the population. In the
twenty largest towns the fall was from
PA to 19 per 1000. Taking certain
town communities in London the
death rate has fallen from %. 5 to "A;
in Liverpool, from 25.9 to 21.6 and in
Maidstone, from 22.8 to 1877. In 1881,
the mortality from all causes fell
slightly below 10 per 1000.
The death of M. Ferry, president of
the French senate, comes at time
when his loss will prove a calamity
to his country. Although his election
to the presidency of the senate did
not suit M Carnot and NJ. Ribot, he
has proved one Of the strongest props
the present government has had to
lean upon. His calm judgment, his
influence with leaders of factions, his
alertness and bravery have been ex-
ercised to turn aside the shafts of cal
umy and suspicion from the president
of the republic and his co-laborers.
He has proved one Of the strongest Of
the strong men of the republic.

Col. Elliott F. Shepard, editor of the
New York Mail and Express, died Sat-
urday from the effects of inhalation of
ether, which he was taking prepara-
tory to submitting to an operation.
At the first inhalation dangerous
symptoms were noticed, and the in
halations were Immediately discon-
tinued. Under treatment with oXy-
gen he rallied somewhat for a few
hours, when a reaction set in, and he
gradually sank until he calmly and
peacefully passed away. He was un-
conscious throughout. Col. Shepard
was a corporation lawyer with very
rem lucrative practice, and turned to
journalism partly for recreation and
partly from a sense of duty, being
active in promoting many reforms.
He married daughter of William FL.
Vanderbilt, and had an annual in
come of $1,000,0
He took a noble stand in running
his paper against every form of evil.
He would not make a Sunday edition,
and stood up manfully against the
strong effort to break down the Chris
tian Sabbath. He was the open enemy
of the saloon, took strong grounds
against sectarian schools, and stood
manfully for the right. His death is
a great loss to the country.

The death of E. Kirby Smith at Sc
vance, Tenn, last week, removes the
last of the full generals on either side
in the civil war. He commanded the
trans Mississippi confederate forces
in the Southwest, and his command
was the last to surrender. He was
West Pointer, and won distinction in
the Mexican and subsequent Indian
wars, having been twice brevetted for
bravery. He confirmed and strength
ened his reputation for bravery at
Harper's Ferry and Bull Run, and his
subsequent career gave him warm
place in the hearts Of the confeder-
ates. Since the war, as president Of
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company and chancellor of the Uni
versity of Nashville, he had lived
a quiet and respected life.

veer since. Mr.. Brigham was a can
didate for reelection as sheriff last
November, but was defeated by his
republican competitor, Chas. o. Hurl-
bert of Lebanon, who will enter upon
his duties April 1. Tt has been gen
orally supposed that the hanging of
Almy devolved upon Mr.. Hurlburt,
but Section 9, Chapter PIP of the Pub
lie Statutes, seemingly places that
duty upon Mr.. Brigham. Sheriff Brig
ham visited Almy at the prison on
Thursday, and informed him that he
had the precept in his possession, and
would execute it according to law.
Sheriff Brigham served a copy of
the death warrant on murderer Almy
at the prison Thursday forenoon. Hon.
Alvin Burleigh of Plymouth, his SEN
ior counsel, paid him visit soon af-
forwards, and held brief interview
with him. Almy told Burleigh that
he would meet his death bravely.
He is in fair physical condition.

Mr.. Cameron (Rep.) Of Penn
sylvania said: The chief claim Of
our nation to merit is that'America
has asserted the most emphatic
possible negative to the policy and
methods of the moneyed power Of
England. The official avowed
policy Of England is to prevent the
restoration of silver to it's function
as money, because the moneyed in
terests Of England require or thirk
they require . monometsllic gold
standard.
Any further measure, therefore,
which tends to discredit silver is,
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1893-10-07

at least for the moment, a further
ance OF the British policy. In vot-
ing against sucha measure l stand,
therefore, on assured ground. If
anyone is to offer explanation or
excuse for his vote it is not l; it il
the Senators who vote on the other
side. The much-abused Sherman
act does not injure Pennsylvania.
Under this act We increase the cur
rency now about $50, OO,OOOs =
year; barely enough to meet the
needs of the natural increase OF
population. In a very few years
this act will undoubtedly restrict
the coinage.
PENNSYLVANIA WANTS MORE MONEY
The people Of Pennsylvania want
even now and expressly require .
greater increase than this. If sill
yer is sacrificed the manufacturers
will be responsible for It, and in
that case / take it for granted that
the silver States will revenge them
selves by throwing all their weight
on the side of a reduction of the
tariff. Our manufacturers might
flourish on low silver and high tar
iff; they must perish on gold and a
low tariff.
My propositions are these: I pro-
pose gold loan OF so many hum
bred million dollars, as Congress
may decide, to be bought at the
market rate and held ir the Treas
ury as the gold reverse is held in
the Bank of France and by the
Governments of the Latin Union. l
propose to open our minis to the
free coinage of American silver,
imposing a duty on foreign silver.
l propose further to repeal the tax
on State bank circulation. / would
also press once more action in favor
of our shipping. To meet in part
the deficit in our income for next
year l would reimpose the duty of
2 cents a pound on sugar and re-
peal the bounty. Then I would
wait year to see how the system
worked and how far we were affect
ed bv foreigd influence.

A REVIEW.
Canyon County From April to o.
tobef.
The Succession Of Crops Not Failure
to Report Rich And Varied Pro.
ducts.

The TRIBUNE seems to have said
about all there ia to be said respect
ing. the substantial advantages Of
this section Of Idaho. We have
told Of the soil, the climate, the
mines and the timber. Az this
time q short review Of the seasons
products might not be uninterest-
ing. In April and May come the
early Vegetable and berry crops.
The spring being few weeks lat
er than usual those products were
not on the market quite az early as
they commonly are, but they came
in time to demonstrate that this
section is much more forward than
any other portion of the inter
mountain country. The berry
crop was abundant and of excellent
quality and the demand was strong.
All those who devoted themselves
intelligently to berry culture made
a comfortable profit at the bust
ness. AT the same time the first
hay crop was harvested, which al
so was few weeks later than
usual. But the Yield was fair, and
there is no occasion of complaint.
In June and July early fruits be-
gan to mature and the supply was
all that could be desired. During
the later month the second alfalfa
matured and was somewhat heav-
ier than the first crop. August
and September were the great crop
months. The third hay crop
came in, grain was harvested and
the country literally abounded in
fruits. There is not a failure to be
recorded in any direction, and, on
the whole, nature has been kind
and prolific as ever. This truly is
q wonderful showing and should
convince every intelligent person
that few countries possess such
natural advantages which Canyon
county does. From early spring
to late in the fall there has been a
continuous succession Of food
crops. The surplus has been read
lily disposed of at profitable prices,
except in the case Of wheat, which
seems to rule low. This is account
ed for by the fact that our mines
have been working on half force or
not at all, temporarily injuring the
the home market. We have q
broad and muni6cent national ad.
ministration to thank for this mis-
fortune. When our agriculture is
fully developed and the products
attain natural importance, we ap-
prehend the benign statesmen Of
the east will devise some excuse
for demolishing it. But that has
nothing to do with the country
The experience of the summer hath
shown that this locality is particu'
larly happy in natures blessings
The sun will shine, the water flow
and earth yield up their treasures
despite all that craftsmanship (?)
can do. The way things grow here
is truly remarkable and pressaget
the wonderful future in store fol
Canyon county.
