SILVER AND SOAP.
PUT ON THE SAME PLANE BY SEC
RETARY MORTON.
"SOund Money" According to the
Gentleman Named Means Gold
Coin-Time For StraddIing the Is
Sue Passed.

Washington. April 2O.-Secretary
Morton. in an interview today. on the
silver question said:
81 do not believe that an interna-
tional conference can establish prema-
nently a commercial ratio between gold
and silver any more than it can es-
tablish a permanent commercial ratio
between rye and wheat. But. if an in
ternational conference can fix the price
in gold and silver. it can also fix the
price of wheat or of any other COM
modify and thereby avoid all the pos
sible shrinkages in values which tend
to cause panics.
MY own judgment is that We must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as
the best and least fluctuating measure
of value and medium Of exchange
which the commerce Of civilization has
thus far utilized.
TT is barely possible the fallacies of
the Fopulist may temporarily secure
majority of the voters of the United
States. Should such a catastrophe over
take the country. the people must learn
by experience what they should have
learned by diligent study and reason.
1.-The time for straddlers is passed.
Those who are for sound currency on
a gold basis ought to have the courage
to say so, and abide by the results of
their declaration. 1t makes no differ
ence TO me whether a declaration of
truth either upon the tariff or on the
money question temporarily drives
them from US or allures them to US.
Il have no hesitation in declaring
myself utterly opposed to all the free
coinage fallacies. My judgment is
that silver cannot be restored to it's
former monetary place in the COM
merce of the world, because the sup
ply of silver has outgrown the de-
mand for silver in the exchanges of
civilization. The relation of supply
to demand is the sole regulator of
value The axiom applies alike to
salt, silver, sugar and soap. All leg
islation of all the law-making bodies
on the face of the globe can neither
mitigate nor annul the operation of
the memorable law-'the relation of
supply and demand is the sole regu-
lator of values
THE presidents critics, however,
ask what sound money is. An or
binary man of business may answer
that question. Sound money is that
sort of currency which has the most
universal and. least fluctuating pur-
chasing power in the countries. That
money is the 'soundest' for which
ilized world there is the most mi
versal demand. And that universal
demand is always based upon the (
universal and unffuctuating purchas- |
ing power Of that money"

Butte, Mont. April 2o.-Andrew
Bhrick, who has been on trial for
three weeks for the murder of
Michael Gilmore, an old Irishman. a
year ago, was found guilty of man
slaughter by a jury this evening. and
his punishment fixed at one year in
the penitentiary. The state made out
most cold-blooded murder. against
which there was almost no defense,
and the verdict is received with gen.
eral disapproval. The a. P. \. ques-
ton figured in the trial again, and
the states attorneys announced this
evening that in future murder cases
the state would take a change Of
venue. 1t is an utter impossibility to
convict a murderer in this county,
thing that has been done but once
since the county was organized.

Blanche Lamont, murdered in San Fran
CISCO says: 1.-The circumst antial evidence
against Durrant, to my mind, is very
strong. Blanche was a girl of strong will
and a great deal of determination. She
would fight to the death rather than be
disgraced, and believe she died fighting
for her honor. The report in some OF the
Chicago papers that. Blanche formerly
lived there is mistake. They have con-
fused her with a cousin of the same name
an adopted daughter of another brother,
Rev. T. J. Lamont. The murdered girl
was the daughter Of my brother, David
Lamont. He was formerly cashier of the
Dillon National bank, and postmaster at
Dillon. Mont. He died in 1891. and since
that time Blanche has either taught
school or attended the Normal school,

Especial to The Herald
Evanston, Wyo., April 20.-Judge
knight, of the Third judicial district
court, in and for Uintah county, to-
day sentenced John Wilkes, a county
commissioner of this county, Of Star
Valley, ito Jail for fifteen days and to
pay a fine of $500 for contempt of
court, he being found guilty of ap-
preaching jurors during their service
on murder trials held during the pres
ent term. The judge, in sentencing
Wilkes. censured him in a way that few
men ever heard themselves talked TO
after they have reached their major
ity, let alone after they have been
elevated to positions of honor and
confidence by their fellow citizens.
The courts action meets with the I'M
qualified and hearty approval of all
classes, and approaching jurors for
any purpose will hereafter be rather
unpopular in this district.

A Post Office Notice.

In circular issued by the first assis-

made of the approaching holiday season

are sent to the dead letter Office because
of the insuificiency of the postage, or be-
cause they are not admissible to the

circular to inquire at the postoilce if in
doubt.
The circular further states that sealed
packages require letter rates, and that
packages unSealed, with writing on the

Clarence has sustained severe injuries
from his horses. The Mackays are
very fond of high spirited steeds but
they cannot manage them very well.
Equine mishaps are known as distinct
lively Mackay accidents. A silly story
went about the clubs when the news of
young Mackay's extraordinary death
was current. John w. Mackay, Jr, was
suitor for Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt's
hand. Her parents would not hear of
his suit, however, and the young man
went away to Europe very much cast
down. The peculiar coincidence of his
speedy death, and that through the in
ctrumentality of an unusual accident,
led to a suspicion of suicide. The pre-
postereus hypothesis was seriously en-
tertained until full details came, and
then it was seen that conclusion was
being jumped at. Young Clarence
Mackay will soon return to this coun-
try at his fathers request.

Even the outlying islands furnish the
curlewberry and bakeapple In pro-
fusion; and upon the mainland, in the
proper month, September, a veritable
feast awaits one. Three varieties of
blueberries, huckleberries, wild red
currants, having pungent aromatic

white capillaire teaberries, with a flavor
like some rare perfume and having Just

squash berries, pearberries, and curlew-

others, but prime favorite with the
Esquimaux; and, lastly, the typical

ferred in order to allow the Marlbor-
ough pyrotechnics to subside and fizzle
out. The grandeur of the occasion is
intended to throw all metropolitan
marriages into utter eclipse. The
slight feeling already existing between
the Vanderbilt cousins has been accent
uated by the hauteur of the duchess of
Marlborough, who has shown q ten
dency to look down upon plain Miss
Vanderbilt. Be all this as it may, the
rivalry between the two houses is the
topic of the hour. An episode of the
ducal alliance was the objection of the
W.K. Vanderbilt boy TO the huge dowry
of the duchess, which has materially
cut into their patrimony, Mr.. w. K.
himself is understood to have first
brought this matter up. The duke got
100000 cash, and the duchess will get
