 party.

 Senator Sherman, on Saturday. completed twenty-nine years, two months and twenty seven days of service in the United States Senate, being the longest period of service of any Senator previously.

 Doubt has already been raised as to the identity of the man killed supposed to be Bill Dalton. A tele- gram from Guthrie, Oklahoma, says that while Dalton was we'll indenti- fled, it was mostly by relatives and other interested parties, and it is generally believed that the body is not that of the notorious Dalton, but that of horse thief who has often been mistaken for Dalton. Officers there announce their belief that the man was killed by the Dalton gang and his body palmed off as William Dalton's in order to deceive the public and throw the government officers off the trail. and that tke real Dalton will turn up and join his family in the Sunset State after the body of his double has been inferred.

The very small revenue received from such games as this to be carried on publicly, the city would 5e better without. Gambling is li- censed under the laws of this terri tory, but to the credit of those 1 engaged in the business generally, they conduct their games away out | of sight of the young, and will not l permit minors to play at their games. Whenever one is found, no | matter what kind of a game he has, who insists on running it publicly | on the streets, or with wide open doors at the entrance to building, | it is time to revoke their license, or refuse to grant one to them.
 The JOURNAL MINER has heretofore claimed that silver would be restored | as a money metal by the republican party. The national democratic platform announced in favor of | silver coinage, but the party in Congress repudiated the platform. The republican party has made mistakes, but when convinced of | error, it has always been willing to correct it. Seldom has it placed blanks in its platforms just to catch votes. Many of the leading mem- bers of the party have recently come out squarely in favor of silver coinage, who have opposed it here tofore, and among them IS John Sherman, of Ohio. At the recent convention held in Ohio, a platform was adopted in which it holds that both gold and silver should be maintained at a parity, and that international action should be urged in order to secure the free coinage of silver. Senator Sherman, when interviewed in regard to this portion of the platform, said: "I endorse it heartily" Several months since, ex-President Harrison an- bounced himself as in favor of silver coinage, while Tom Reed, of Maine, has also taken Q stand in favor of it. Silver is sure to be stored to its former position as a money metal, and it will be done by the republi- can party.
