One of TIA Nobleet sons.

Samuel Gompers will publish
in the August number of the
American Federationist an ed
itorial on the recent great strike.
He says in part
1.-The strike of the American
Railway union to influence Pull
man to submit to arbitration the
controversy between himself and
his employees will. long live in
the memory of man as one of the
greatest labor struggles In the
history of the country.
Like many of it's predecessors
it has failed Of it's immediate OBJ
ject, but it has accomplished
more good in directing attention
to the underlying wrongs of
modern society than all the lect-
ures and publications could Sc
cure in decade.
"Oat of all the tUmult, it has
revealed to the world the char
acter of one of the noblest sons,
Eugene V. Debs. His earnest
ness, honesty and sincerity no
one doubts.
1T must be borne in mind that
the proposition he desired to
submit to the Managers associa-
ton contained no other condition
than the reinstatement of the
striking workmen. In other
words, the question which the
men had come for had been
abandoned; they were then on
strike for their positions. In
view of the fact the railroad men
asked to be reinstated, we sub
nit to the calm judgment of all
whether it would have been eth
er wise, just or expedient to add
wise our fellow workmen of all
trades throughout the country to
lay down their tools and quit
work"

My dear friend, do not speak
slightingly of that man with the
battered hat and time-worn
clothes. He is probably the ed
itor of the home paper, while
the man with the silk hat and
well-brushed clothes who passes
by him ON the other side is the
delinquent subscriber. Appear

houses, saloons, shops and mar
kets were on every hand, and
all were taking in gold by the
pound. At Owyhee, Rocky Bar
and Salmon City similar scenes
of wealth and activity were pre-
scented. And strange as it may
now seem, hundreds of whipsaws
propelled by man power cut the
lumber out of which thousands
of houses which changed the
mountains wild into fairy land
ficked with cities and villages,
were built.
And then was Idaho, the fair
est and richest of our mountain
states rich in her exhaustless
treasures of gold and silver
rich in the magnifcence of her
great forests-rich in the salub-
rity of her climate-rich in her
superintendent supply of pure
water and rich in her climate
virtues carved out of a before
unknown and unexplored wilder
ness, and in three years formed
into territory having not less
than $4,000 people, probably the
most prosperous and happy of
any on the globe, and all because
of the great wealth and extent
of her mines of gold; and up to
that time no other pursuit had
been entered upon. Many of
her mines even were still undis-
covered, nor had attention been
turned to quartz mining except
in Owyhee county. In that sec
ton rich lodges were being de-
veloped and fortunes realized
even by the crude methods then
in vogue.
A few years later Copelands, a
camp on the grand fork of the
Payette was found, and then
Sturgill's Bar and the Seven
Devils, and then Loon creek.
This was followed by the Yankee
Fork discoveries, and then fol-
lowed the opening up of the
Wood river. Custer county and
contiguous mines, and the dis
covery OF silver in Cassia, Bear
Lake. Oneida and Bannock
counties, also in Shoshone and
4 Kootenai counties and on South
Salmon river. Willow creek, in
Ada and Canyon counties, and
about Grimes Pass and Banner
in Boise county again astonished
the world by the revelation that
our mountains were just as rich
in silver as in gold, for awhile
revived the tagging energies OF
both prospectors and miners
Then the fight of demonetiza
ton fell upon us and the song Of
the drill is hushed in the hill
the roar of the smelter is still by
the stream, and the laundering
sound of the steel clad stamps
resounds no more through the
lifeless camp. A great industry
has been destroyed, destroyed
by law, and those who pursued
it made tramps.
Nevertheless we have golt
mines left sufficient, when de
, veloped, to employ a large popu
lation. Many of these could b,

Fifty diIlions In silver.

The huge vault at the mint in
Philadelphia known as G, in
which has been sealed up for
nearly four years 100000 of
standard silver dollars, was open
ed a few days ago, and the long
and laborious task OF counting
this big amount of money was
begun. AS the occasion was
deemed one of Importance, there
was observed some little formal
ity. DR.. Caleb Whitehead had
come on from Washington to
represent the mint bureau; Frank
Sartori represented Superintend
ent Townsend; and w. L. Bos-
byshell, Col. Bosbyshell's son,
represented the former superin-
tendent. William E. Morgan,
United States Treasure examin-
er, was also present. United
States Treasurer Daniel Morgan,
who, with his son, happened to
be in the city, witnessed the
breaking of the seal and after
ward made tour of inspection
of the mint.
Major G. H. Townsend, cash
Ter of the mint, having been Civ
en- the combination of the vault,
proceeded to open the door. This
was easily accomplished, but
when the inner door was reached
some difficulty was experienced,
as even after the combination
was off, the door refused to OPP
EN-, the bolts from long disuse
sticking fast.
This was soon overcome, how
ever, entrance was finally effect
ed, and the assembled officials
, stepped within the inclosure
where lay piled up millions. On
the inside door, fastened by seal
ing wax, was a sheet of foolscaI
g paper containing the statement
that S33, 100000 had been placed
there on February Z, 1890, with
Major Meline, of the treasury
B. f. Butler, of the mint bureau
, and James Eyster, of the mint
present, and that further, SIT,

An agreement is reported concluded between the Anaconda and Calumet and Hscla companies. under the terms of which the former company undertakes 10 reduce their production to the level of the latter company-say to about $500, 1000 pounds per month As in the month of October the Anaconda company produced $500, 900 pounds, thir reduction represents about 1900 tons per month The production of the other three leading Montana com panies in October was 6,lO0,0 pounds, and that of the other leading Lake Superior eompany-the Tamn- rack-900,0 900 pounds, these figures about representing the extent of thelr present capacity. It is believed that ths Rio TintO company have agreed not to increase their production Cop per shipments to Europe continue on 8 reduced scale, being about 400O tons for November, making the total for eleven months of this year about 69, 552 tons against 70, ,9O3 tons in the same period last year As 22,OOO tons less have been shipped in the five months from July to November this yenr than last, it is evident that the private stocks of American copper held on the conti- nent must now be less than at this date in 1893, the public stocks in England and France showing an increase of 6OGS tons.

The revelations of the Lexow inyes- tigation in New York City are so as- founding that new disclosures cause little surprise, but are expected as a matter of course. The entire police force, excepting Superintendent Byrnes, is implicated by the confessions of Captains Crseden and Schmittberger, including the Police Commissioners themselves Schmittberger's confes- sion is prolific of not only sensation, but is evidence which confirms and verifes what have been hitherto con- sidered the most exaggerated cases of police and official corruption It deals with more individual cases and shows the criminality that has prevailed in tho police department.
 The overthrow of Tammany and the exposures of rottenness in the munich pal government of New York are due almost entirely ts the persistent efforts of one man, Dr. Parkhurst It IS such men as he that are needed in every city in the United States, men who are fearless, honest and determined, to take the lead in opposition to ring rule and political crookedness, for New York is no exception to the rule; mu- nicipal government in the United States is notoriously bsd, and it is hoped the Lexow investigation may arouse spirit of reform elsewhere that will result in she pnrihcation of city politics and 9 isss.sr administration of sftairs.

The Brooklyn Eagle answers ques- tion upon which there was dispute and bet made here at the time of the late election, viz: Is a child born of American percentage in a foreign coun- try eligible to the office of President {? The Eagle says he is not, and quotes numerous authorities in support of that opinion. Children born of American percentage outside of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States are made citizens by statute (R. S., Sec. 9l72) and are not citizens naturally born. If there was no statute thev would not be citizens.
 On this subject, Paschsl, regarded as one of the highest of legal authori- ties, says "A natural born citizen Cis one) not made by law, or otherwise, but born" Bates, on "Citizenship, limits tho natural members of the body polite to "the people born in the country" Kent says; Nativity furnishes the rule. Story on "The Constitution, says: Considering the ages of all such i. e., those who are alien born and citizens when the Con- sttution was adopted), no person of foreign birth can now ever be Presi- dent under this Constitution. !"
