MIR. NEwLaNDs' RENO SPEECH.

Hon. Francis G.. Newiands, our Req
resentstiye in Congress, arrived in Reno
Friday morning of last week direct from
Washington on . hurried trip to San
Francisco on business. As be did not
leave for the west until the night train,
he announced that he would at half-past
7 address the people upon the stirring
events in Congress since it's converting in
extraordinary session. The gentleman
said all were informed OF the main facts
in the contest and be only touched upon
those that were the most interesting.
II was better, in his opinion, for the
cause Of silver, that the unconditional
repeal should pass, than to have any OF
the substitutes proposed adopted. He
considered it better to have q quick than
. lingering death. Those Southern
members Of Congress who voted for IN
conditional repeal were now hearing
from the great mass of producers and
laborers Of the country, and many ad-
mitted they had committed suicide and
regretted that they had acted 30 hastily.
Mr.. Newlands is Of the opinion that
Cleveland's plan is to retire all the pres
emit one, two. FIVE and ten dollar currency
notes and substitute silver in their place
by coming the bullion now stacked up in
the Treasury. The idea Of this will be
to educate the people of the East
to the use Of silver money and in that
way perhaps bring about a more friendly
feeling for the white metal. Although
the speaker could hold out nothing en-
coursgiug so far as silver wal concerned,
he appealed to his audience to not get
discouraged but to take advantage Of
the natural ~sourc Of the State as
they now existed and build up agricul-
tural pursuits by reclamation and irriga-
ton until something could be done for
silver. as he was positive the people
would decide by their votes at the next
election that they were in favor Of silver
being recognized Is money and elect q
Congress that the gold bugs could not
handle. Mr.. Newlands left for Wash
ing last Monday.

The New York Times recently said:
"There is no zane Democrat, whose
opinion is worth taking, who does not
know that if this silver issue is thrust on
the country in lS96-and it will be, il il
be not decided now-one OF two things
will h%sppen-the party will be hope
lessly split, and thus beaten, or hope
lessly beaten without being openly di.
vided." Aud another gold bug subsi-
died organ up in ~Oregon-the Oregonian
pipes out in . ''me too" strain and
says: "Sane Republicans know this as
we'll as sane Democrats" The forego-
ing tells the whole story in q few words.
The logical deduction from the two ad-
missions is, that If the silver issue ID
allowed to 60 to the people Wall stree,
will lose. Its only chance is to clinoh
the business while II has . represents
tive in the White House, whose power
through the inscriptions use Of patron
age enables him to bend Congress to his
will.

said Wolcott strove after effect and

there were some men to whom clean

rHE HISTORY OF GOLD AND
SILVER.

In these days Of British gold mono
metallism 10 may be useful to give =
short history Of the more modern dis
oovsries and relstions Of these metals.
Previous 10 the great California discov-
cry 10 lS47. Earope was to . great ex-
tent supplied with gold from Mexico.
Brazil. New Granada, Chill and Peru;
quite . quantity was also obtained from
Asistio Russia and the islands OF the
Indian Archipelago. east aud west coast
Of Africa. Bat their total yield was not
more than one-quarter that Of Cslifor-
mia and Australia. II must not be for
gotten that gold is found in all parts Of
the earth. while silver is only found in
certain parts Of il. Gold was discov-
cred in Siberia 10 lS29-3s, and through
this il was predicted that gold could be
found in Australia. and subsequent facts
proved the accuracy Of the prediction in
1851. About this time the English and
other bankers Of Europe seriously com.
menced to demonetize gold. fearing from
it's too great quantity they should soon
lose their hold upon the wealth and lib
critics Of the people. The plan was how.
ever, abandoned for fear OF the people;
for . short period Of prosperity set in
with them, and from having plenty Of
money with which to do the business OF
the nations, they became more indie
pendent Of such masters. But as the
gold products began in two or three
years to decline, the bankers gave up
the idea Of gold demonstration and
waited until 1851, when they began to
strike down silver in order to enhance
the value Of their gold supply, which
had now become larger than the world
had ever before known. From 1851 to
1855 the gold production was nearly four
times that Of silver, and hence the de.
sire Of the bankers to demonetize il.
Yet, to-day silver is only q small per-
centage (sbout 20 per cent? above that OF
gold, and again these European Shylocks
desire their pound Of flesh, even il they

A sENsaTroSAL STORY.

| Cormick gave himself up to Marshal
Cole of Lake Crystal. Minnesota. on
Oct. rs, stating that be was implicated
in the murder Of W. J. Penrose. which
occurred in Butte. Montana, one
night about two years ago. He was
accordingly put in jail, from which he
shortly afterwards escaped. Before
making his escape he said to a reporter;
"Penrose was elected to the Legisls-
ture on the Labor ticket, pledged to Sc
cure certain reforms, but sold out. On
his return to Bate notice was served on
him 10 leave the town within six weeks.
He failed to do so, and on the night the
six weeks expired he was shot md

to divulge il. When asked how the
murder was decided upon he intimated
that ID was decreed that Peprose should
either leave the country or die, and re-
fusinp to do the former be was killed.
Who the executioner was Mccormick
would not state, but from fragments
that he allowed to drop it appears 1t
was some business man Of Butte whose
business was in some way bound up
with Penrose's enemies. and that he
drew Mccormick into the job. Since
the crime was committed Mccormick
said he had been . wanderer among
obscure mining camps. and spent fifteen
months in the mines Of Alaska. He
said he was working eastward with q
