superiority in looks or strength over
his companions he was entitled to that

1.-THE Moorish guard, himself a pow
erful fellow, flung forth torrent of
abusive language as the newcomers ad-
vanced, and. flanked by a dozen sturdy
Moors, he waited the coming of the
Berbers. AS II his enemy moved too
slowly for him, he then stepped quickly
forward, and, swinging the heavy
spear he carried over his head, he
hurled himself upon the other.
Renewed yells now filled the air,
and / expected to see the Berber
pierced through the body. Instead
there was the swift CLEAN of a naked
knife, cry of horror, and the Moor
sunk at the feet Of his companions in
the gasps of death. To my surprise
the Berbers offered to strike no further
blow, and, as IL suddenly changing
their mind IN regard to entering the
place, wheeled and started to retreat.
"This was the signal for the compan-
ions of the dead guardsman to rush
upon the half dozen mountaineers, all
OF whom escaped except him who had
killed the Moor, the latter being quick
ly overpowered and dragged away.

world sometimes makes one bet
ter satisfied with his home. The
young man or woman who first
leaves home to find better friends
or purer air, is oft times con-
WINGED of their error. A return,
frequently, is found dearer to the
heart than departure. And,
although in these hard times, it
constantly occurs that we get
restless and feel like forsaking
our posts in encouragement, and
seeking relief among other peop-
lie and outside or far off countries.
Experience will bring us back TO
the old homes, where there is
more to make life enjoyable than
wheresoever we may extend our
wanderings.
The day of cheaper lands and
and better promise, and more
faithful friends, and kinder
neighbors, to us of the Pacific
Coast, is gone forever. And,
tits thus that this disposition of
constant change is but a loss and
disappointment.
We have been through a por
tion of our State for the last few
days, and were really put to
some surprise in finding others
feeling that they were the most
unfortunate of ALL 1t is so all
over. Everywhere we go it is
seen that the world moves very
slowly for q country that should
ring with prosperity. The fault
is with our men-not with our
country.
The early crops are not quite
up to the average and the acre
age is. on an all-around examina-
ton in Custer and portions of
Bingham and Bannock, up to
the average, perhaps little
above excepting in our home
county. Those that mature late
will be stronger, as the season is
very late. In Blackfoot country
especially on the West side of
Snake river, there is a large
amount of new farming improve
ments. The Mormon people,
with their usual spirit of pioneer
enterprise, have taken up vast
amount of land and are making
new buildings in all directions.
They are taking out canal from
the Snake, far above Blackfoot,
and are extending it even into
the lava beds, eight or ten miles
from the river, and contemplate
running it down to the American
Falls. 1t is grand enterprise.
State Treasurer Bunting informs
as that this is, mainly, excellent
land, and that so large a tract
will, ultimately sustain a very
large population. When the
first road was made through this
country, in 1862, we would have
been willing to bet-though, we
hold strictly to the doctrine that
betting is no argument-that
that country would never pro-
duce anything but a few jack
rabbits. We were mistaken and
hasten to acknowledge the error.
This country will contribute very
largely to the growth of both
Blackfoot and Pocatello.
Stock on the range, is looking
well, although the numbers are
not as great as in former years,
excepting sheep. The wool men

quite as hard as they did. Cause:
His tariff is ruling now, not Nc
Kinley's, under which wool went
into the ground like a badger.
When will men get little sense
into their heads on this tariff
question ? And still many Re-
publicans will argue that the
Mckinley tariff is the all impor-
tant thing. 1t is evidently true

right of tariff protection with

dates and amounts at different
times placed on these various
kinds of productions that tariff
has little to do with the results.
1t is, practically, humbug, and
it is harped upon, mainly, by a
set of partisan humbugs, to keep
it prominent before the people,
to blind them from the real cause
of our woes, and to keep them
selves in power. 1t is becoming
a burlesque and shame-a stain
upon our fair name, and our
craftsmanship. 1t is time that
the masses of Americans, who
are generally the mostintelligent
of the human race, should choose
to follow such base leadership.
Down with such sneaking hyp-
ocrasy Support such princi-
pies and measures as your better
judgment-guided by reason and
experience-shows you is for
your country's good, and not to
the elevation of a set of unpatri-
otto politicians, and the down
fall of justice and the ruin of
your nation.
The wagon roads are in good
condition. There has been no
heavy freighting of account to
break them-little dust.
The Challis and Blackfoot line
of stages is running very nicely.
Messrs. Powell & Pearson are
doing everything in their power
to make this pleasant route for
travel. Mr.. Powell has just
brought onto the East end a new
coach, manufactured at Stock
ton, Cal. Just a beauty-and,
if business could but advance as
it ought, would bring another.
This, with four in front looks
like old times.
The people of Blackfoot are nc
exception to the rule-all meet
ing hard times-but they are
bearing it with patriotic forti.
tude, and will win at last. Sc
will America, everywhere-when
she wakes up. Little new i'm
provements going on. Instead
of new developments, we hear Of
foreclosures, receivers and such
news. Which do our readers
like :? 1t is for us to decide.
But America will come again
And whether it come with sword
and charging steed; with roar OF
cannon and rattle of rifle shot and
clash of sabre; with carnage of
wound and blood and death; OF
whether it comes with philoso-
ply and reason and justice and is
guided in it's coming by the gen
tie spirit taught, as a rule OF
action, for all by the gentle Naz-
arine we may not now know
but it will come Our land is
too fertile in resources and great

EVERY NATION HAS FAILED.

The attempt to coin the two metals with

heen made by nearly every CIV
ilized nation in the world and mas
failed in every one of them. 1t has failed
because in every instance 1t mas Deen
found impossible to establish and MAINTAIN
a legal ratio corresponding at all tllnes
with the intrinsic or commercial fatlo pc
nween the two metals contained IN the
coins, and because whenever either OF the
metals was under valued relatively to the
other in the coinage law5 it was expelled
from the county. England persisted IN
the attempt for nearly $40 years and, not

FREE COINAGE WILL NOT IN
CREASE THE MONEY SUPPLY.

All who have been or may be induced
to give their support to this revolutionary
policy, upon the assurance that it will
give the country more money for use in
the transaction of business, will be
greatly disappointed, for they will find,
when it is too late, that instead of hav-
ing more money they will have less, and
that it will be deprecated in value be-
sides. The introduction into the cur
rency of a country of any kind of money
about which there is the least doubt will
always operate to drive out the same
amount, or about the same amount, of
better money and thus leave the people
with substantially the same volume of
currency they had at the beginning. The
act providing for the purchase of silver
bullion and the issue of legal-tender
treasury notes in payment for it was pass
ed on the 14th day of July, 1890, and the
purchasing clause of that act was re-
pealcd November l, 1893. While it re-
manned in force, United States treasury
notes were issued to the amount of S1J5,-
931 ,OO2, and there were many people who
believed that this was making Il material
and permanent addition to the volume of
our currency; but the official records show
that during the same time the net eX-
ports of gold from this country
amounted to SOB, 419, 491, so that the real
addition to our circulation accomplished
by the issue of nearly S1JG,0OO,OOO of new
notes was about fifty-twO and a half mil
lion dollars during a period of more thar
three years. The mere Apprehension
that the government would not be ablt
to maintain the parity of the two metal;
under the policy inaugurated by that act
not only dscredted the new treasury note,
themselves. but the whole volume OF
our currency, and gold went out about a
fast as the new notes came in.

The limited States alone would not re-

ness, and will continue 10 be so estimated,
and consequently the only way IN Ml!GD
This country alone could diminish the
