late warden Of the penitentiary, OF Sioux
Falls and member OF the state board OF

years of suffering from the dread disease
which afflicted him. DR.. Spooner was
prominently identified with the early
history Of Lake Preston and Kingsbury
county He was member OF the state
constitutional convention Of 1889, and
also OF the first state senate OF 1890, and
many Of his colleagues in both of those
bodies will sincerely regret to hear OF

Senator Sherman. in recent letter
on the silver question, declares himself
as thorough di-metalist as anyone can
possibly be says he is anxious to use
both gold and silver as standards of
value to the fullest extent that will not
demonetize either, and then adds !:
"The trouble is that silver has for the
past twenty years been constantly de-
clining, Notwithstanding every effort
made to maintain its parity 10 gold at
the legal ratio, 16 to l." Various de-
vices have been resorted to to maintain
the desired parity between the two
metals. But the real trouble is that
everything nearly has been tried except
the right thing-the full reconciliation
of silver. That, by giving to silver the
money use would so increase the de-
mand for it as to fully Offset the effects
of its increased supply as compared to
gold. The larger demand would easily
consume the greater supply. The great
Buckeye Senator informs us that free
coinage would lead US to the single
standard of silver "and detach ns from
the financial operations of the great ma
tions of Europe.n Well, what if it did?
We might find that we could do busi
ness, to fair profit, on the independ-
ent basis, or at least that we could worry
along as well without the great nations
of Europe as they could without us, es-
pecially as we would unquestionably
take from them the trade of the other
nations of this hemisphere. Finally the
great authority on finance remarks that
he is satisfied that the single gold stan
dard sis not only for the good of the
United States, but is for the ultimate
benefit of the silver producing States and
Territories This may prove to be
true, as far as regards the silver pro-
ducing commonwealths but it will be
from the wise bountifulness of Divine
Providence, and not through the sagac-
ily or good will of Congress. 1t will be
because the impetus given to gold min
ing, by the cruel injury to silver, shall
result in the timely finding of abound
ing golden wealth stored in the noun
tains. Mining Industry.

When He Laid Them Down.

A sketch of Senator Voorhees, printed.
after his personal revision OF the copy.
two-or three years ago, says that. soon
after his election to the Senate, in 1877,
he "made speech in favor Of the free
coinage Of silver'' and that in this
speech he laid down the principles
on which, as direct issue, "tha State
of Indiana was carried by the Dsmo-
cratic party in the following year, and
Mr.. Voorhees, was elected Senator over
Benjamin Harrison"
The country has forgotten what prin-
ciples Mr.. Voorhees, "laid down" in
1898, but every body knows that, this
year, he laid down all the principles"
he ever had concerning silver, merely
to make himself the administrstion's
ervant.-Anaconda Standard.

An Opal Swindle.

Phil Host, one of the owners of the
opal mines in this county, is at present
stopping in DeLamar. He says that the
man Fleming, who has recently been
doing so much talking about his opal
claims; who has recently been reported
as getting up some immigration scheme
in the East, and who is reported to be
wanted by the California authorities for
a charge of swndling on cactus hedge
scheme he worked in that state, worked
money making swindle at the Worlds
Fair. With a lot of specimens of cut
and uncut opals, right under he nose of
Commissioner Wells, he took orders for
duplicates of his samples, to be cut and
sent c. 0. d. TO persons ordering, charg-
ing two dollars in advance to pay for
cutting. These orders were taken.in
the name Of the Idaho Opal Company,
when no such company existed. He
used the display made from the Shir-
ley mines to obtain orders, and Commits
sioner Wells should at least have made
inquiries into the standing of the man
and his authority to offer to duplicate
these specimens. 1t is possible that the
money out of which people were thus
swinvled amounted to large sum, as is
indicated by the number of letters re-
ceived at the Nampa postoffice addressed
to the Idaho Opal Co., few of which
were opened by Messrs. Anchor, Shir-
ley & Co. and all of which now 90 to the
dead letter Office. Some of these letters
ought to be utilized to find the names of
the persons who have been thus swim
died, and this scamp arrested and pun
ished.
Mr.. Host says fleming never owned
claim upon which vcluable opals ex-
listed, and that every such representa-
ton that be made was fraud which
injured the owners of the mines where
valuable gems ars produced.
The mines of Anchor, Shirley & Co.
are not now being worked because all
the work is in open cuts and cannot be
prosecuted in the cold weather and
snow. Besides this, the first thing to
feel the pinch OF bard times are the pro-
ducts of the jeweler and the miner of
gems, and an industry which only pros
pers in prosperous times is, in the pres
ent condition of the country, brought
about by gold bug legislation, now the
dullest of any.

The Old Year.

Without much regret, large major
ity OF the civilized world bade good bye
to 1898. For the greater portion of man
kind it has been year Of loss and dis
appointment. To extremely few did it
bring more comfort and happiness than
did any of its late predecessors. For all
of this the blame can justly be laid to
the manipulators of finance in this coun-
try and in Europe. Crops were bound-
full; no plaques, wars or troubles, other
than in money matters, afflicted this
country. Bar silver year ago was 83
cents, this New Years day it was SO
cents. Wheat, cotton and nearly all
agricultural products fell in the same
ratio. The Railroads.&c. good m easure of
the country's prosperity-s the con-
dition of the industrial world. -Four un-
receivers in 1889, FIVE in 1890, four
teen in 1891, twenty-seven in 1892 and
more than eighty in 1893, among which
were such great systems as the Atchi-
son, the Union Pacific and the Northern
Pacific. Let US hope that the disaster
reached its climax during that unfortu-
nate year. The bankers and professed
6nanciers brought about these disasters
by their successful efforts at reducing
the volume of money of the world. VIII
they see that they have been hoisted
with their own petard? They have
mills and factories are idle, and hungry
families are crying for bread, the share
holders in the great corporations are
also feeling the pressure.
a new year, in which tho hope remains
that affairs may take a brighter look.

Senator Dubois is making an extra ef-
fort to have an adequate appropriation
made by Congress to carry on the geo.
logical survey in Idaho. The impor-
tance of having thorough survey of
the state made in as few years as prac-
ticabls should not he overlooked. To
the work of Prof. Heyden and other
geologists in Colorado, much of the won
eerful mineral development of that
state is due. Information impaired
through geological survey of Idaho,
would be of great service to miners and
prospectors and much development of
our resources would result therefrom. A
large portion of the center of this state
is now almost an unknown region. The
new state wagon road, for the building
of hich contracts are now being let,
will make this central portion aceessi-
BILE and open up big field for prospec-
tors, miners, lumbermen or farmers
Let the geological survey 60 along with
the opening up of the road as far as
practicable.

Reports from South Africa indicate
that the gold product of that distant
region is steadily increasing and that it
will be considerably larger the coming
year than it has been during the past.
This shows why England was so anxious
to secure an enlarged demand for gold
through the decentralization of silver n
this country. But why the president
and the majority in Congress Should
have been SO eager to crafty her desires
remains as darkly inexpicable as ever.

The Red Wing Republican has the
following showing the benefits which
are being derived from thsir public
library recently established. There
is no doubt but that similar results
would be attained in Mankato, if a
good Cubic library and reading
rooms were established here:
A visit to the library rooms last
evening cOnclusiYely proved the bene-
lit or this new institution. Around the
tables were seated about sixty young
boys, peruSing the contents of the
papers and magazines. They were
quiet and well behaving, every one of
them. Many of those very boys have
been accustomed be around the town
and do mischief every evening in the
week but now they mingled with the
others and shared the benefits and
comfort of the cheerful place. This
is one of the most encouraging fea
lures of the library boards work. 1t
is young America, business men and
statesmen Of few years hence to
which they should mainly cater. for
upon them the influence of good read
ing and pleasant surroundings will
be the most marked and the most
lasting, ~
