Pocatello has one weekly paper, one
of the best in the state. By looking
it over we see that the town has one
dry goods store, two banks, two tai
lors, one blacksmith, one plumber,
one music teacher, two butchers, one
jeweler, one chop house, one music
dealer, one drayman, one dentist, five
law firms, three real estate firms, two
physicians, one nurse, one saloon, two
BARRIERS, one architect, one feed sta
BILE. With one more store, one less
barber and three less law firms, that
would represent town of 300 or 400
people. The claim that Pocatellc
has 5000 inhabitants shows on the
face of it to be a myth.

sheep Judging iu Australia.

The Australians have novel method
Of judging sheep at their fairs. All
sheep entering for prizes in the wool
classes are brought to the societies
paddocks one year ahead of the show
and sheared; then a mark of identified
ton is placed on each one; the follow
ing year the sheep are exhibited and
sheared at the show; the wool is then
secured and the prizes awarded to the
animals producing the heaviest fleece OF
secured wool. This plan is very
good one, but would prevent an exhib-
itor from showing his sheep at more
than one fair.

STOP GOLDBUG PAPERS

People, why do you help support a
gold bug paper? The war is on, and
if we would avert a future state of
abject servitude, we must carry it on
in every conceivable channel. Our
motto should be "not one cent to the
gold bug press" Stop that Oregon
ian Examiner, Chronicle and New
York World or any other gold bug
paper. Stop it. If you want west
ern paper take the Salt Lake Tribune,
Boise Statesman or Rocky Mountain
News. If you want an eastern paper,
take the New York Recorder. The
last, especially, should be strongly
supported by the west to enable it the
better to combat the ideas that have
been planted with the New England
(well named) public by our vicious
enemies of the east. The following
extracts from the Recorder is sam
pie of its policy:
1t is Just as dishonest to scale debt ur
as it is to repudate it. The debts OF this
country, aggregating over S35, 600, DOC, 600
were mostly incurred in gold and silver
and legal tender paper. Then by the ac
of 1873 they were made payable only il
gold.
Gold has been bulled up and silver ha'
been bulled down. The whole thing hal
been a swindle on the working people O
the world.
The chief cause of the fall of the price
of silver is the fact that the government
of the world led by the nose by Lombard
street, which live by looting the labor o
the world and levying tribute on the TOT
of universal mankind, have combined TO
the past 20 years in a bear movement.
When silver was shut out of the mint
the largest demand for it ceased, ant
inevitably It's value fell If the govern
ments of Europe and America had issue
the same fiat against gold, expelling it froI
the minis and taking the legal tender ava
from it, gold also would have deprecated
Now, suppose the governments of tn
world united to pass law forbidding th
manufacture or use of cotton for the pu
pose of clothing. Is there any man idiot
enough to argue that under these circun
stances cotton would not be depreciate
ana wool appreciated in value?
The American peoples currency, go
and silver, is to be changed at the dictate
of England That is the Cleveland-Rayn
program. That is what the ''uncondition
repeal" cry means-the robbery and spoil
ton of American people, the confiscati'
of their profits, their property and the
wages, yes, their very homes, for the
richment of English money lords.
Give us free silver coinage and proclai
to England and the world new Declal
ton of Independence-th independence

The Giggling Hablt.

A serious aspect of the giggling habit
is that it is so nearly incorrigible. Man
nerisms of all kinds strike their roots
deeply, but "hel her and 'hal hap be-
come part and parcel of the offenders
against reason and taste. That which
makes the listener nervous to irritabil-
ity, fretting the aIniable into desire to
smother the meaningless cackle in the
throat that gives it birth if he cannot es-
cape beyond hearing of it. is practiced
involuntarily by the habitual laughter.
Like the famous button on the learned
advocates coat with which he fumbled
necessarily while pleading, the giggle
would if suddenly taken away, deprive
its slave of the power of speech. To
command gravely temperate articula-
ton would be to strike dumb.
The origin Of the obnoxious trick is Of
course in youth and inexperience, and
almost always in native difidence or
temporary embarrassment. When the
girl has no fitting words at call, she gig
giles. When the Lad is oppressed by
weight Of bashfulness and would swag-
ger it of, he outlaws. In the tyro's
opinion a laugh outdoes charity as a
cloak for every defect and extricates
him from the most trying position. AZ
fectation isean active ally in the evil
work, and the ambition to be agreeable
brings up the rear guard. Marion Har-
