Debt" In many cases it has
been courted by the individual,
but in the majority it has leen
unavoidable. To cure the ills
we must attack the fostering
root. To do this we must repeal
the infamous financial laws that
created, fosters and increases the
debt. The Babylonian govern
ment was destroyed by debt;
Greece persisted in debt; Rome
went down under a debt which
she could not pay; debt was the
curse of tho French revolution;
every acre of land under the do
minion of Great Britain is mort
gagged; every acre of land and
city lot in the United States is
mortgaged. All Christendom is
under a legal debt, and there is
no law providing for the pay
ment of this legalized robbery
Debt is a burden upon lalor.
Debt takes the farmers corn,
wheat and stock before he has
produced them. Today a labor

rent and taxes before he has
completed his days work. The
merchants labor is all taken by
transportation companies, rent
and interest. The farms are
mortgaged; the productions of
farm must be taken 10 ray the
the interest on the debt. The
merchants store and goods are
mortgaged; the profit taken from
the consumer is to pay the inter-
est on the debt. The railroads
are mortgaged; the profits taken
for transportation are used to
pay the interest on the debt.
Debt is the curse of many humid
reds of thousands of people being
out of employment and compell-
ed to tramp in the United States
today, We r a debt-mortgag-
ed and bond-cursed nation. Labor
has borne this burden; 1.-THE chains
are becoming more CALLING; the
means of the miserable, made so
by oppression, are heard all over
the land. AS the debt increases
labor demands freedom in stern

free from debt and school, coun-

bonded debts are paid, then the
labor problem will be solved, for
the burden of labor will then be
lifted, and he who tolls will have

DEAR SIR:-Through the medi-

form my friends of Custer county,
that / was notified by the Com
missioner of Pensions, a few days
ago that my claim for a pension
had been rejected on the ground
that | had not furnished the evil
dence called for-the desired evil
dence was to the effect that I
must find two persons who knew
me the 28th of June, 1865, and
had been with me each succeed
ing year up to 1895, to testify to
injury from army service. 1t
was simply impossible for me to
furnish such evidence. I had
already furnished him with the
afidavits of twenty-four neigh
bors. He knew the last call
would be a dead shot. He would
not be where he is if he was not
a dead shot. He told his boss
when he hired him, that he would
do his utmost to keep them from
getting on the pension roll. The
man that thinks he is not doing
what he told his boss he would
do is not posted. Occasionally
we hear of some one who has got
his pension, but we hear nothing
of those who got the dead shot.

Commercial Congress convenes
in Omaha, Nebraska, on the 25th

for four days.
The objects of the Congress
are to secure such national legis-
lation as is calculated to promote
the business interests and devel-
opment of the resources of the
States and Territories lying west
of the Mississippi river; to in
crease reciprocal trade among
them; to discuss such questions

operation among the various
commercial bodies Represented I'd.
1t is the desire of the COM
mittee to confne discussion to
questions of common interest,
and to exclul lie, so far as posi-
BILE, all subjects which are ccal
in their character. Thus far the
following have been suggested:
Irrigation of Arid Lands; The
Hawaiin question; Nicaragua
Canal; Bi-Metallism; construc-
tion and Improvement of Water
ways and Deep Water Harbors;
Trans-mississippi Freight Tariffs
and determinations; Rail and
Water communication between
western cities and the Seaboard;
Construction and maintenance Of
Levees on the Mississippi and
Tributaries; q National Bankrupt
Law; Restriction of Immigra-
ton; Relief of Agricultural De
preston; Admission of Territor-
les to Statehood; Disposition of
Public Lands.
The Governor of each State
and Territory may appoint ten
delegates; the mayor of each
city, one delegate and an addi-
tional delegate for every 5000
inhabitants, provided, however,
that no city shall have more than
ten delegates and each county
one delegate. through its execu-
tive officer; every business or
ganization, one delegate, and an
additional delegate for every so
members, provided, however,
that no such organization shall
be entitled to more than ten dele
gates. The Governors of the
States or Territories, members
of the U. S. Congress, and ex-
presidents of this Congress are
ex-oficio delegates with all priv
ileges of delegates except those
of voting an election to Office.
AS will be noticed, most of the
questions to be discussed are of
great interest to us as a nation,
it is therefore important that the
voice of the people Of Idaho,
through a numerous and able
representation, should be heard
on the floor of congress, an effort
will doubtless be made by those
in favor of a single standard to
adopt resolutions unfriendly to
bimetallism. My object in send.
ing out this address is to arouse
the attention of the people to the
danger which threatens us; those
who are opposed to the free
coinage of silver, will be repre-
scented by full delegations, at the
coming meeting, and if through
apathy and neglect, the silver
sentiment of the west should be
outvoted on the financial ques-
ton, the influence of such a re-
suit would be disastrous in the
next National Conventions. If

rived in Salt Lake City last Friday

consultation it was decided that the
only chance Of saving his life was by
an operation, and arrangements were
made to take him to ST.. Mary's hos
pital for that purpose, but he sank 80
rapidly that the physicians came to
the conclusion that he could not SUR
vive the operation. He was a native
Of Kentucky, aged 65 years.
In 1869 Judge kirkpatrick opened
law Office in Elko and remained here
until the latter part of 1870 when he
removed to Salt Lake. He afterward
formed partnership with Senator

in Virginia City. During his resi-
dence on the Comstock he was held

Yanl<ton Sioux Reservation Soon to he
Opened.
WASHINGTON, March IA When Pres
Ment Cleveland returns, it is said, he
will Immediately issue proclamation
opening to settlement the lands coded
by the Yankton Sioux Indians in South
Dakota. The proclamation has already
been prepared and provides that in 80
days after its first publication the lands
shall be subject to entry under the land
laws of the United States. The lands
coded amount to 1853, 900 acres and are
accounted among the best in the state,
being in the southern part Of the state
and in a rich farming country.
Representative Picker of South Dakota
says that although there would be quite
q demand for these lands he does not
anticipate any such rush as has been
witnessed in Oklahoma The general
land Office will take measures to see
that all settlers are treated alike.
Another reservation which will soon
be opened is that of the Nez Perces in
Idaho. The agents of the government
are now at Nez Perces paying these
Indians $500, 900, the purchase price of
their lands. After this has been done
the steps necessary to throw the coded
lands open to settlement will be imme-
diately taken.

in the east end of Cuba is brought by a

came crystallized and there are now

are in dozen or more detachments,
but are giving the government no end

troops have been beaten back with
heavy loss. The most deplorable fea'
