Let Silver Drop.

Tho enormous decline in the price
of silver has prepared people Interested
in thr production offhat metal for the
worst and they are now perfectly recon-
cilel to whatever may happen in the
fntnre. The industry has already suf-
fered all the damage possible, and q
still further depreciation in vaIus will
not affect the mine owner. The sooner
It com.s now. the better it win be for
all concerned, and from all . ,pesrsnces
The time is not far distant when the
financial powers Of the world will be
compelled 10 reinsiate silver on irmer
and more reliable basis ban it has ever
been before, as a matter Of self protec-
tion. The business panic which hiss
disturbed the commercial relations Of
the entire world can safely be attributed
to he depreciation Of silver. In any
event. the decline in he value precipi-
lated the cricis which has been threat
eDing for years. The gravity of the sit
nation is such IF to concentrate the at
tention of all the brightest minds in the
national councils OF the old and nsw
worlds on The question OF finding some
way out of The difficulty, and from pres
snt indications conference will be
held before long. when some combined
action will be taken TO establish stan
dard of vAlua for silver " hile regulating

chased at the present market values of

position. The turn in the tide will
come before the end of the present year,
and the appreciation will he, II any

The Ivories as a Jury.

Samuel /. Silverman and Dick Sbsr-
wood each owned half interest in =
valuable gold mine in Okanogan county.
They decided Saturday that there wasn't
room for two in the management, and
hit upon true western expsdient for
settling their busin, SO difficulties. But
they didn't call for pistols for two, with
coffre for one, or go out on ths open
greensward behind the hotel and fight
with bowie knives. Their was qnicker
way than that, and il WAS much safer
one. Sherwood aud Silverman called
called for dice box and the regulation
nnmber of dice iuslead.
ss..ex shall il be ?n asked Silverman,
with a name-your-w weapon expression
on his face.
"rhree shakes, horses" Sherwood re-
piled, and as every one knew what that
meant there were no further prslimina-
ries.
Both men were as calm and collected
az if all immens,. fortune had not been
Al stake. Silverman shook 8rst. He got
TWO pairs, fours and trays. 10 three BE-
ries of hopes ond fears. Sherwood was
sure he could beat that, and he did,
with three aces the first rattle out of the
box.
Follow your hand" said Silverman,
still unmoved. Sherwood shook aud so
did Shverman. The latter won. That
IL ade it "horse and borse.n
SiIvrrman ratified the bones long but
gently, with short, circular motion
suggestive of deep thought. Then two
pairs rolled ont, fours and treys. He
tried 10 ell and failed once. Again he
attempted the same feat. Then with a
glad smile he laid the box aside. The
lucky bone had come four. Sherwood
was not so confident after that, but he
bore up heroically. In one shake he
had pair Of aces.
In another there were three aces.
He puffed breath into the box gently
and rolled out another. Then Manager
S. T. Arthur, who had been silent
witness, supported man on each arm
and trip VAS made to the rsfreshment
room. The claim will be called The
Monte Carlo by its owner, Mr.. Sher-
wood. 1t was bonded some time ago
by a payment of $1,000, but the bond
lapsed. Mining men regard it as
good prospect, as the country within a
circle of few miles contains thousands
of ounces of the precious yellow metal.

Patriotism.


The question has been asked. and
very pertinen:ly too; lsnot patriotism
on the wane in this country ? To eur
regret We musi say that it is. Patriot
ism is virtuous passion wherein love OF
country precseds and overshadowe
every other sentiment. IF We have any
/, patriots in the nation to-day they are
either ia the humble walks OF life or
their ex'rrme modesty has kept them
in the background. Certainly they are
not in high places. When we examine
the lives of so-called statesmen of the
present day who have grown gray in
their couniry'S service, We cannon name
one who seems to possess hat virtnons
passion which overshadows every other
element in their character; in fact il
seems 10 be the very last clement that is
appealed to, and judged by The standard
of love OF country WE can 6nd no man
who has. in the last quarter of cen
tury, made himself conspicuous 10 that
I6cptGtt uUlFoo NF idhc llcD WIZ iOtC
their country for revenue only.
In respect to patriotism we are bound
to say that it seems to b.. a LOST virtue in
our land and il is Doubtful if W. have
men in public life to-day who have
-ither the moral or physical courage to
be patriotic, with a venal and subsi
died press in the contiol of men who
have for years conspired against onr lib
critics.
No public mans character is safe if he
dares 10 believe either more or less than
their standard, hs must expect to be
trsdnc-d, misrepresentpd and even lied
about, and if Patrick Henry lived in
this ag- and said as in the oIden lime,

would he characterized as an anarchist,
and possibly arrested as crank. Pa
triotisn cannot exist in ne atmosphere
that prevails in our country, we have
submitted so long to the false doctrines
Of party bosses that the great masses OF
merican VOTERS have become subsrrv-
lent 10 the party lash aud seem to have
lost sight of national feaIty. The quss
tion may very properly be asked what
has produced this condition.? Let
Bishop Potter of New York answer. At
the celebrations in New York in the
epring OF 1889 he said
"Nnbody can misunderstood me. Ey-
cry body has recognized The rise Of the
money power. Its growth not only de-
stroys the independence of the people,
hut the blind believers in this omnino-
tent power of money, assert that its li',-
eral nse condones every offense. The
pulpit does net speak out as it shonld.
These pluiocrais are the enemies of re-
ligion as they are of the state. And, not

Serious Trouble Over a Tuscarora
Mine.

Charley Graf, employ d at the Pied
mont mine, about mile west from
town, was brought in last Tuesday night
suffering from couple Of pistol shot
wounds received abont half past ninr
that evening at the works. 1t appears
that the Piedmont had been sold under
execution last summer npon a judgment
in favor of Quons Hi, Chinese mer-
chant, who had been unable up to the
pr. sent to gain possession OF the prop
erty. Through strategy, during The tenn
porary absence of Graf and Grant, who
were left in charge hy Mr.. Fannof, who
was called TO San Francisco short time
ago by the illness of his wife, an attor-
ney for Qnoug Hi gained entrance to
the premises and placed as keeper
therein Eugene Way and Terrence Nc
Mahan. Graf ard his partner upon
learning the facts started for the works
and when they reached there found the
door lock ed upon the inside. The for.
mer forced the door open and received
two shots from those inside, one ball en-.
tering the chest just in front of The
right armpit, and the other passing
through the Aeshy portion of the left
arm above the elbow, neither of which
at this writing heing considered fatal.
