THE SILVER CONVENTION.

The Bimetalic Convention held at Chi
cago on the lst inst. was organized with
Allen w. Thurman of Ohio, son Of the
mobile Old Roman" as chairman, and
Jos. Hutchinson OF Colorado as secre-
tary. Forty-two States and Territories
were represented and over 800 delegates
took their seats. Some of the ablest
advocates OF silver in the country were
present. The session lasted three days
and its work is bound to do good for the
cause of silver. The proceedings were
very conservative, the radical portion of
the convention being kept in check.
Gov. Waite of Colorado, however, SEEM
ed to express the determined sense of the
gathering, as his speech was received
with demonstrative marks of approval.
He reiterated the language Of his Denver
address which so exercised the Eastern
gold lunatics few weeks ago: IF the
money power shall attempt to sustain its
usurpation of our rights by the strong
hand, as in other lands, we will meet
that issue il it 10 forced upon us, for it is
better, infinitely better, rather than that
our liberties should be destroyed by the
tyranny that is expressing humanity all
over the world, that We should wade
through seas of blood-yea, blood to the
horses brides"
All the national parties were represent
ed. Republicans, Democrats, Populists and
Prohibitionists were all there, asking for
the restoration of silver.
The resolutions adopted recite the
cause of the present troubles, blaming
them to the insane crusade OF Eastern
bankers against silver, and demand the
restoration of free coinage of silver on
the basis of Is to |. A committee was
appointed to present to Congress the
wishes Of the convention. Altogether it
was great gathering and its work will
have good effect on the action Of Con.
gress towards the white metal.

Worth Knowing

A correspondent of the ST Louis Globe
Democrat says that he saw a curious
method used the other day 10 Illinois TO
take the foul air cut of well The
we'll was to be cleaned. but the man that
took the job was afraid to go down until
he had ascertalnsd the quality of the sir
at the bottom. He let down lighted
candle, and when it descended to about
six feet OF the bottom it went out as
suddenly as though extiDguished by a
Whit OF air. This wss all he wanted to
know He was then sure that the well
had poisonous gas in it, and took small
umbrella, tied string to the handle and
lowered it open into the well. Having
let it go nearly to the bottom he drew it
up, carried it few feet from the we'll
and upset it. He repeated this opera
tion twenty or thirty times, with all the
bystanders laughing at him, then again
lowered the light, which burned clear
and bright even at the bottom. He then
condescended to explain that the gas in
the well was carbonic acid gas, which is
heavier than the air, and therefore could
be brought up in an umbrella just as
though it were so much water. 1t was
simple trick. yet perfectly effective

THE Necessity OF IRRIGATION.

A circular from the Publication
Committee of the International Irrigation
Congress Los Angeles, October 10th. to
10Th. 1899 calls attention to the extra
ordinary value Of irrigation to all lands
which are now titled under deficient
rainfall. The recent drought reports
from Western Kansas bring into strong
contrast the uniform success OF farming,
both in grains and fruits, which is met
with in California. Utah. Colorado and
other states.

in Los Angeles October 10th to 18th,
will be notable gathering Of prominent
irrigators, engineers and bond investors,

view by the ingenious manner in
which the silver coins have been
arranged. The model is about fifteen
feet long, nine wide and three high.
Seventy five thousand coins were used
in its construction, cement being en-
ployed to hold them in place. Several
young men, under the watchiul eye of
superintendent, were engaged in
putting on the roof of the beautiful
structure Friday, and for this purpose

ment's stamp. Iu order to do a
finished job, the young men engagedin
laying the halfdollar pieces were
obliged to cut them into two and form
pieces of various shapes, a large pair
OF shears being used to trim them into
the desired form. While doing this

would fall upon the floor, as we'll as

THE Pope has sent to all the rulers in
Christendom an encyclical on the labor
question. He says it is the duty of the
rich to provide work for the poor. A
strike can be justified only as means Of
defense, when individual interests are
attacked. The right Of protecting the
operative, whether in factory or field,
should be admitted, and for this purpose
the maximum Of labor and salary should
be fixed. The hours of labor should be
arranged, giving due attention to a day
Of rest. The Pope warns against the
spread Of socialism, which he regards as
the enemy Of social order.

State in the Union where wildcat cur

Congress repeal the tax on State bank
notes. The constitution adopted by the
State Of Ohio about forty years ago con-

no banks Of issue should be authorized in
the State. That provision stands to-day,
and no State bank notes can be issued
unless the constitution is amended.
