 All the week days of lent are fasting days of obligation on one meal only; custom, however, has authorized the use of a slight collation. in the evening, a cup of tea or coffee, etc., in the morn- ing.

OF COMMERCE MEETING.
Action on the Bailey Bankruptcy Bill-Civil Service Bills-Inadequate Water Supply in Case of Big Fires.


 Service Bills-Inadequate Water Supply in Case of Big Fires.
 Hon. N. D. Sperry called the meeting of the chamber of commerce together last evening, and in the absence of the secretary, John c. Gallagher, Judge Cleaveland acted as secretary. It was decided to request of the Connecticut congressman their aid in the repeal of the Bailey bankruptcy act.
 A communication was received from the Mexican consul general at San Francisco announcing an exposition to be held in the City of Mexico, to begin April 2 1896, and inviting New Haven manufacturers to place wares on ex- hibition. The chamber voted to notify New Haven firms of this. Communi- cations were read from the New York Civil Service Reform club asking that the chamber urge their congressman to aid the passage of the bill extending civil service Jurisdiction to consular offices and minor offices in legations also the bill providing that no post office or postal employe shall be dis charged or suspended until after charges have been forwarded to the postmaster general, and he has ordered removal. Hon. N. D. Sperry spoke few words on the matter, telling his experience in removing postoffice em- ployes and said he thought the pro- posed method much better than the present system, under which much in- justice is done. The chamber voted to request the passage of both these meas ures.
 MT. John c, North called the atteR- ton of the gentlemen to- the present street water mains, which, he said, were inadequate. He said that higher rate of insurance is charged here than in other cities where the water mains are larger and thus furnish an ade- quate supply of water in case of fire
 A committee was appointed consist ing of J. c. North, w. S. Wells and Charles l.. Baldwin to lay the matter before the fire department and get the views there on the subject, after which report shall be made to the chamber.
 The annual meeting and election of officers will be held the last Wednes- day in March.

Reupion Of "Old Timers"

Many years ago Steve leapnabsFger,
q weli-tO-d0 and reliable citizen end
farmer In this county, was crossing the
plains and Was captured by the Crow
Indians. Escaping from them he came
south to the North Platte river and
crossed it by wading, and stopped there
with the first white man he found. This
was Seth E. Ward, now q wealthy
farmer aud ex-bank president. who then
had trading post on the North Plat.
Mr.. Rannabarger, then young fellow,
broke out with smallpox next day.
Ward later on got the post leadership
George Wilson of this place clerked for
then. Wilson left there and went over
on the Salt Lake stage road, and while
at Fort IIalleck In the Rattlesnake
Pass. one of the widest, coolest, places
in the mountains, got acquainted with
Mr.. Rannabarger, who came along late
one fall with o "buli train" en- route to
Salt Lake, but by being too late had TO
winter his cattle on Pass Creek and the
Platte, aud leave the cargo ut the Fort.
Many years afterward MIR. Wilson

BRYAN on the Ratio.

Hon. w. j. Brysn in his speech at
Boonvilie had this to say:
ssIf the restoration Of silver Il i'm
perative, the means are important. II
it Is restored at all It must be restored
at the present legal ratio of l6 to /. A
change in the ratio secured by increas-
ing the size Of the silver dollar would
not only contract the currency, 1t
would cause q loss IN the recoinage of
silver dollars, aud this loss would full
either upon the government or upon
the holders Of SILVER dollars and silver
certificates. II the ratio were changed
by International agreement to TO "a,
for instance, it would cause q decrease
Of one-third of the silver money, or
one-sixth of the entire metallic money
Of the world. Such contraction in the
volume of money would decrease the
market value Of the property Of the
world many billions Of dollars and
increase enormously the burden Of
debt. Why bring such injury to the
debtor class and TO society and such
advantage to the capitaiistic class
without first attempting the restoration
Of silver at the present ratiop We
believe the apparent fall in the gold
value Of silver bullion has been due TO
legislation which on the one hand cut
of the demand for silver and on the
other increased the demand for gold.
Bimetallism Is founded upon scientific
principles and recognized natural laws.
Agreement can increase the price OF q
commodity OF limited production BY
increasing the demand for the con,odity
The production Of gold and silver ID
limited, aud any nation which is large
enough to offer demand unlimited q
compared with the supply, can fix The
bullion price at the mint price. The
reason why bimetallism has been
difficult in the past was because OF the
different legal ratios existing in differ
ent countries. II we should atteml
free coinage at Is to we should invite
the coined silver of other countries Il
come here in exchange for gold; bul
when we offer free coinage at l6 to l,
our gold will not leave because it car
not find more favorable ratio where
there is any quantity Of silver to ex
change. II change in the ratio II
desirable, we cannot. intelligentll
choose new ratio unless we have pu
gold and silver upon an equal footing
It is absurd to measure silver by golC
when We open The mints to gold and
close them to silver. This country
must act alone, because il cannot aff0rt
to submit the interests of American
citizens to the government control o
foreign nations, and because othe
natioas are not similarly situated ant
therefore cannot be relied on to CO
operate with rs. We did not ask th'
consent of other nations when vi
demonetized silver. and we should no
ask their consent when we restore it.
