delegates from the United States
to an international bimetallic conference
could not be commissioned under the VOL
colt amendment unless the call, when
made. should provide for a conference for
the establishment of free coinage. In out
lining the purpose of the proposed con-
ference, however, the language of the
present law is the same as that under
which the Brussels conference of 1892 was
held and while the first instructions of
this government to its delegates in the
conference were to secure free coinage if
possible, they were authorized to use their
own judgment in large measure, and fall
ing to secure international bimetallism."
they were advised by Hon. John w. Fos-
ter, then secretary of state:
The next important duty will be to Sc
cure, if possible, some action upon the
part of European countries looking to
larger use of silver currency in order
to put an end to the further depreciation
of that metal"
The fact is not overlooked, however.
that the Brussels conference was held
upon the call of the United States, while
1t is not contemplated that the one now
proposed shall be called at the instance
of this country.

Washington. March 2S.-(Special.) There
is still much talk to the effect that no
conference will be called and there are
many who believe it. Judge Holman is
among those who hold this opinion. He
said that the movement would amount TO
nothing and expressed the opinion that
there would be no call for meeting, and
therefore no appointment of delegates by
the president.
There was a story current today that in
case the president should decide not to
complete the commission as provided for
in the sundry civil bill. the delegates an
pointed by the senate and house could
attend the conference if one was called
regardless of his action. This appears,
however, to be based upon the merest sur
mise. none Of the senate or house ap-
pointees. who could be the only adequate
authority for such a statement, are in

SILVER THE TALK.

take the field as a candidate for the silver
men.
The silver leaders desire If possible, to

ganization is not antagonistc to the gen.
eraI plan Of working within the old party
but it is expected TO MT IN eXaclly Win eh0
general scheme.
There is an extraordinary activity among
the silver men here at this time and much
more than the public conceive of Is BENG
done i'm preparation for the struggle OF 30
Recognizing the situation, the silver men
propose to begin now the HSht 10 seCulo INC
next president.
1t is pretty generally understood among
the leaders that they are not to be in
huenced by their party associations TO
support any candidate whose position on
this question is not entirely satisfactory 10
them. A number of informal conferences
which have been held led to this determ-
nation and the first manifestation of the
firmness of the republican silver men Will
be when it comes to the reorganization or
the committees of the senate.
If it were necessary, in order to accom-
plsh what they want in this organization,
il is believed that they would ignore en-
tirely the republican party and associate
themselves with the silver men of any par
ty to effect the reorganization. 1t is not
believed, however, that such a course Will
be necessary since the ant-silver republi-
cans will probably be inclined to satisfy
their demands.
IL the silver leaders can accomplish an
effective understanding among their people
i'm both partieS they will probably devote
their efforts to the accomplishment OF
what IS desired through the medium of the
old party conventions-one or the other.
If both of the old parties fail to fully recoS-
nize the silver sentiment, both in the pat
form and nomination, there are two courses
which it is proposed to pursue. one is to
select as a silver candidate on an indie
pendent ticket some free coinage than
who is both prominent and influential in
one of the old parties and who has not
heretofore gone to any side issue and who
has not been suspected of weakness in 10y
atty to his party. The other proposition IS
to name no candidate but to vote for in
dependent electors in each state pledged
on assembling in the electoral college to
vote for some man for president who can
be relied upon to Loyalty support the cause
of the free coinage of silver at ratio of

tors might DE chosen by republican votes
and in others by democratic votes, but

publican party will not be satisfied with the
nomination Of either Reed Mckinley, Har-
rison or Allison.

ONLY ONE GOOD RESULT.

The violation of the law to enforce the
law ought never to be necessary. and in
the advanced stage of our civilization is
not necessary. The members of the
mob who hung the murderers at Ellens-
burg are guilty of murder, in the eyes of
the law, and morally are equally guilty
with the men whom they put to death
in cold blood. The provocation was
great, and no doubt their act will go
unpunished, so far as courts are con-
cerned; but the effect upon the COM
munity is sure to be bad, and the effect
upon the men themselves, who partici-
pated in the hanging, is likely to be
evil, both now and during the remainder
of their lives.
There was time on the Pacific coast
when law was impotent, and the direct
punishment of murder, or even lesser
crimes, by lynching, becames necessary; /;
but that time has long since passed.
Courts are often slow in the administra-
ton of justice, and sometimes fail en-
tirely; but the ultimate effect of their
di1atoriousness and failure is far less
evil than the violation OF law and order,
as in the case at Ellensburg.
The only good result is the removal
of two accursed and worthless wretches;
but this good, great as it is, is of no con-
sequence in the light OF the evil grated
upon the lives of the actors. If they are
men whose reasons are clear. and whose
consciences are active, the hanging Of
the two murderers will be cloud they
will not soon dispel. Better that two
.murderers should have entirely escaped
bic in this instance-than that fifty or
an hundred men should have allowed
themselves to yield to the excitement,
and become unlawful slayers of their
felloWmea.

stages in Southern Oregon have had
similar experiences of late until it is
quite the fad in that section. To man

there is no treasure for Inoth or rust to
corrupt, or thieves to break through and

4 WAY TO AVOID DEBTS.

The o. r. & N. Co. is to be sold under
foreclosure, great misfortune to the
road, stockholders, directors, and other
officers. But there are others who are
unfortunate-the hundreds of creditors
who have furnished supplies to the road, +,
or rendered it services, or on other
grounds have valid claims against it.
There are several snch persons in this
community, whose claims are from a
few dollars to many hundred; people
who cannot afford to lose their hard
earned money.
The property will be cold under a
foreclosure for a sum not exceeding the
mortgage; will be bought in by the
larger stockholders, and the property
will be re-mortgageds and be ready to
incur further debts. When the indebt-
eduess is large enough to warrant it, the
process will be repeated, and the small
creditors be left holding the sack. We
do not undertake to say this is the pur-
pose of the present foreclosure proceed
ings, for we don't know anything about
1t; hut we have been told that that is
the way railroads haYe of getting rid of
q lot of small debts and robbing people
who can't afford to be robbed; at least
Tor the benefit of railroad stockholders
The road is now in the hands of re-
ce'ver; is under the control of court
OF eqnity, and, under the rule that he
who seeks equity must do equity, it may

receiver to pay off these material men

We are glad we have no claim against
the company; if we had we should give
Judge Bellinger chance to help US out.
