A Goldbug Utterance.

"Plagnes, pestlence and famine are,
bnt local and temporary calamities;
floods, earthquakes and cyclones are
limited in their disastrous results. but
change in the standard of value affects
all existing contracts, upsets all the
calculations of business, reaches every
family in the land aud converts legiii-
mate trade into speculation and gamb-
ling.n
The above has the true ring of silver
in it. One would never suspect that il
was the utterance of one of the most
pronounced golibugs in the entire
conntry. Nevertheless it is an extract
from letter written, long since, by
Abram S. Hewett of New York, to the
Chairman of the Coinage Committee
when it had the snlject of the coinage
of silver under discussion. We have
lived through many temporary calami-
ties since these words were recorded,
nut all of them have not done as much
damage as the act which struck down
silver and changed "the standard OF
values effecting all existing contracts"
If Mr.. Hewitt and the other plutocrats
Of New York foresaw this calamity, did
they not also see that they, as creditors
and interest gatherers, would profit by
depression in all values except that Of
goc? Most certainly they did, or they
never would have permitted the great
est crime of modern times to have been
perpetrated and would not now be so
unanimously opposed to having the
great wrong rghfed.

Owyhee Railroad.

Captain Plummer, who is now in
Boise City, was interviewed by the
taiesman, and anent the suujsct OF an
! Owyhee railroad said "What is need
ed,n is less talk and more action; less
wind and more funds. start must be
made. Money must be ra sed to accom-
plish preliminary work. The leading
| business men of D-Lamar will be glad
to meet the representative men of Boise
at any time and any place TO start the
ball rolling. Boise is good place to
meet and right away is none too soon.
Commenting on this, the Statesman
says: SIN view of the fact that the
mine owners and other and other busi-
ness men of Owyhee realize that they
must have road, and in view of their
willingness to cooperate with the peo
Pile of Boise in any effort to secure one,
it would seem as If our business men
should at once arrange for meeting at
which the subject should be caDvassed !,
our Owyhee friends being invited to
attend.n
Now let the business men of Boise
call meeting and invite the represen-
tative business men of DeLamar and
Silver City to attend, aud we can assure
them that the invitation will meet with
hearty response, and something will
come of it,
At the same time we must remind the
people of Boise that this matter is one
of much more Importance TO them than
it is to the people here. We are going
to We railroad into Owyhee with or
without the aid of Boise Boise is not
the most convenient point for as either to
reach the timber north or to reach
railway communication, and flour road
don't go TO Boise, that city will miss a
golden opportunity. With this feeder
built from this prosperous mining
county to Boise, that city will be in a
position to attract the trunk lines GER
tain to be built in the future. If the
Owyhee road should go to Mountain
Home, CALDWELL Payette or Weiser, all
of which places can give good reasons
for being made the outlet from here, the
great city which would sooner or later
grow up in the great Snake river valley,
may not be located at the capital of
Idaho.
A single ''sawyer" lodged in the cur
rent of the Mississippi river has been
known to be the nucleus around which
a big island has formed. A short line
of railroad leading from these prosper
ous mining regions might gather, and
is almost certain to do so, the incre-
ment which will found great city.
Will the people of Boise let that termi
nus miss them?

Hon. Willis Sweet and j. II. Rich

here last night, and certainly won
friends for the Republicans by the ex-
cellent addresses d~livered. Mr.. Rich
ards made only u brief speech prefacing
it with personal remarks concerning
his position as a candidate for the Dis
trict Judgship, as he said that il was
fair, he being a candidate and com
parative stranger in this county tha;
the people should know something
about the man who solicited their sup

The speaker of the evening was Hon.

address was logical, forciOle aud piaiD.

delivered here during The campaign.

LITERARY NOTE.

The June Overland is to be note
worthy number. The new editor,
Rounsevelle Wildman, is to print an
other of the Malayan stories that have
attracted much attention. This time
it is to be called "Amokw and it tells
of love affair of young Malayan man
and girl which ends tragically in the
suicide of the man by the traditional
method of his race, running amok.
The word is familiar to everybody, and
yet few people have understood how a
Malay runs amok, and still less why.
That is what this story will show in a
striking manner.
DR.. Frederick j. Masters contributes
an article that attracts much atten-
ton, "Did Chinaman Discover Amer
ica?" Doctor Masters says yes, and
adduces multitude of facts to prove
it. Most striking of these, is quota
ton from the ancient standard Chinese
encyclopedia, telling of the return to
China OF Hwei Shan, a Buddhist monk,
after forty years in country that
must of been California or Mexico.
There are to be two or three Fair
articles; an interesting narrative, Ex-
periences of "Blackbirder," in the
Gilbert Islands; valuable paper by
DR.. j. G. Cooper, of the Academy of
Sciences, on Pacific Coast Oysters; and
many other attractions.
The illustrations are to be as usual
profuse of the high grade that won the
magazine medal and dimploma at the
Chicago Fair.

Origin and Growth Of the Beautiful Custom in
the North.
From the New York Advertiser

From the New York Advertiser
1t is an admitted fact that the Gus
tom of strewing flowers upon the
graves of the dead soldiers once each
year originated in the far south as
soon as the war closed, and April Goth
is still the Confederate Memorial Day,
but as to who first suggested the day
for the Federal soldiers is still mat
ter of dispute. Philadelphia claims
that honor for Mrs. III. G. Kimball, of
that city, and q letter from General
Logan goes far to prove the claim.
OF course there were many sugges-
tions in many different places, and in
1866, the 9th of June, second anniver-
sary of the disastrous assault at Kene-
saw, was celebrated in some places in
Indiana by general gathering of vet
Grams and people. Mrs. ii. G. Kimball
was in the South as nurse at the close
of the war, and coming North early in
1867, she suggested to General Logan
the adoption of day one month later
than that in the South for climatic
reasons. Such is the statement of
Julius Simon, for some time General
Logan's secretary. The next year the
general issued an order to that effect,
being then COMMANDER n-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic. His let.
ter to Mrs. Kimball was as follows:

day for the first time from my friends
of the reception of my order No. II
AS you observe, the ctstom is beauti
full one, and l am confident that it will
not only never pass away from the
recollection of the American people
but will more deeply engraft itself in
their hearts, and each returning ami
versary of sacred decoration will in
crease in impressive devotion for oul
patriot dead, and the crowns we weave
for them of never fading laurel and the
beautiful flowers strewn over Their
graves give birth to sentiments of love
and honor which bind the past, the
present and the future in one continu
Gus chain of admiration that the life
and service of even the humblest pri
vate shall never be forgotten. Yours
truly. JOHN A. LOGAN.

ALL EUROPE UNDER ARTS.

After the dreadful FrancoGermanw war Of 1870
1871 the principle OF prolonged military SER
vice and of diminished annual contingents was
given up. The menstrous principle OF universal
service was adopted instead. by this principle
the whole nation is under arms. country is
no longer a country, a people Is no longer peo-
pie; nation is now nothing bus an army, and
a country Is only barrack. Everybody is sur
lie qui yive. II war breaks out today all profes-
sions become deserted, all functions abandoned:
the life OF the nation stops 80 that national ac.
tiyity may be said to begin again only with the
blood that Is shed. Moreover, before two hostile
armies, that is, two nations when are enemies,
join in combat, each OF the two armies, that is,
each Of the two infinite hordes which traverse
their several countries to meet eventually on the
field of battle, will leave behind it country in
famine, its fact ores silent, and its trade para
lyzed Again, enormous stocks of food supplies
must be accumulated on the frontiers where the
two armies are likely to meet; but before reach
ing these inexhaustable magazines the armies
must be fed while crossing their own territories,
and that requires no money. So. that, before
even the first gun is fired, each army will have
expended enormous sums and left IN IT'S train
towns and villages stripped of men and beasts
the cities in famine, the country without single
tiller Of the feld.-From an article OH "The
Peace of Europe" by NJ. de Blowitz, in Me-

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
CENTRAL STATION.

CENTRAL STATION,
Dies MONIES, Iowa, May 80 1894.
The past week was unseasonably
cold and dry, with less than the normal
amount of sunshine.
From the effects of frost and drouth
the general crop conditions are not so
favorable as they were two weeks ago.
Corn has partially recovered from its
set back and is in a fairly prosperous
condition, with a good stand and i'm
proving color. The usual complaints
are heard of the ravages of cut-worms,
and some replanting has been necesi-
tated. The acreage has been increased
by the partial failure of oats in many
localities. The prevalent drouth is in
jurous to all spring grain, and the hay
crop is damaged past recovery. Pas
lures are becoming very short and in
many localities stock water is scarce.
The recent freezing temperature was
very destructive to truck gardens, as
well as grapes and small fruits.

FOR HOME PATRONAGE.

A convention was held in Minneapo-
lis last week for the purpose of organ
izing the Northwestern Home Trade
association, the object of which is to
create and foster inter state patronage
among the northwest commonwealth.
Such purpose is laudable and greatly
to be praised. Home patronage is the
source of all greatness and prosperity
in our town and in our country. There
is no valid reason why we should 60
away from home for anything that we
ourselves can produce. Taking our
own state as an example-Iowa farm
ers should feed Iowa people and Iowa
manufacturers and Iowa labor should
supply Iowa wants. 1t requires home
trade to build up home institutions.
And the man who gives his patronage
to his home industries has the essential
spark of patriotism in his heart. Spend
your money where you make it is a
good motto for every man. Not spend
all, but what you need buy at home.
Patronize the man who patronizes you.
Build up your own country before you
help to make wealth for another land.
