One day last week p f. McGlynn

mons menagerie, consisting of six
bears, two badgers, three eagles and
one hawk. These beasts and birds
were brought to Payette with a view
to negotiating a sale to the show
company which exhibited at this
place Tuesday, but we believe Mr..
McGlynn failed to dispose of any of
the collection. A great many of our
people went to see the Salubria me-
nagerie during the week, as it was Il
free exhibition all the time. Some

A Sunday law decision comes
from Kentucky that is remarkable
to say tho least. There is special
provision that forbids the opening
of bar rooms or the sale OF liquor
on Sunday. A barkeeper was ar
rested and fined for selling on Sun
day. A barkeeper was arrested
and fined for selling on Sunday.
He promptly appealed the case.
The Court of Appeals decided that
his conviction was wrong on the
ground that the law was uncon-

Worth Remembering.

This fact sho aid be remembered
by everybody that not one Ameri-
can citizen asked for the demone-
tization of silver. It WAS done to
please the European holders of
American bonds and at their dieta-
tion. No one complaiaed that
there was too much money when
gold and silver were both legal
tender money; but when silver was
stricken down and made merely
token money, the quantity of legal
money was Of course very much
reduced. Now, if there was not
too much money with both gold
and silver, how cap there be-
enough with gold only
The gold hogs now tell that tbs
restoration of silver will make
money too cheap; but was it too
cheap a few gears ago, before silver
was stricken down ? No, that is
mere pretense. By demonetiziny
silver they made the remaining,
gold dollar worth twice what it
was before, and thus doubled their
own wealth. This is the exact
fact, and this is the financial situa-
tion of the country today. The
money power has it's grip upon our
throats and is fast choking us into
insensibility.
By sound moRey, which Grover
Cleveland, prince Of Wall Street,
pra.es so much about, is meant
these gold dollars of doubled value,
which were made worth two bushels
of wheat, these two-hundred cent
dollars, made so, not by the wish
of the American people. but tc
please our British creditors And
this is called honest money?

The gold bond men are not hav-
ing everything their own way, as
is shown by this from the Chicago
Inter- Ocean: "The trustees of the
sinking fund of the city of Cincin-
natl are anxious to refund a four
per cent interest bearing debt of
$3,000.O00. A syndicate OF CAPT
talists are ready to furnish money
for the refunding on basis Of 3 65
per cent, providing the new bond
will be made payable, principal and
interest, in gold. The trustees
were about to accept the offer OF
the syndicate when certain citizens
prayed for an injunction in re-
straint Of the obligation to pay in
gold only. The common pleas ruiz
ed that the trustees are empowered
to enter into such obligations; the
plaintiffs appealed to the circuit
court, and the decree of the court
of common pleas was overruled.
The trustees then appealed to the
supreme court, where the ruling of
the circui'. court is affirmed. Thus,

The New Day.

Fitz Mack in the Denver News
talks thus about Arizona's present
and future:
"Arizona stands at the threshold
of an era ef wonderful social and
industrial development. There
can't be a doubt about the fact.
The dawn for which she has waited
so long is breaking at last. There
is every promise of day OF great
promise and permanent upbulldlns
;ust before her. The impulse OF a
new and energizing hope is visible
everywhere among the people,
while the cumulative effect of many
things, which made but small i'm
preston as they transpired singly,
s now commanding for her a full
share of attention and interest a.
broad among homeseekers and cap
italists, ~,
A lively competition has sprung
up for the possession of things that
have heretofore gone a-begging for
wnership. There is a scramble
for franchises. Nothing more
surely indicates a great industrial
awakening than this. The rates
of interest are falling te moderate
figures. Nothing more surely in
dicates confidence and competition
among the money lenders than this.
Arizona has reached that period
of climax which every western
state has experienced sometime in
it's history when, after long and
weary struggling and doubt, with
each side of the balance first up and
then down, the clouds of despon-
dency have suddenly rolled away
and a sunburst of energizing hope
has thrilled the dropping spirits OF
the people to a greater and Drawer
endeavor than before"

Daddy Nolan was attended by an

true friend. a German editor. was a
strong feature of the cast, and Miss

were encored whenever she gave a
solo. Her voice is a soprano and one
or the best that has been heard in this
city for many a day. Her singing of
the Last Rose OF Summer was par
tlcularly rich and sweet and when the
curtain went down on the happy de-
movement, Home, Sweet Home" in her
mellow tones sent a pleasant thrill
through the house, as a most appropri-
ate climax to the soul-stirring scene.
