The only clear and satisfactory
solution of great national questions
like bimetalism, that the Courier
can see, is to submit such questions
to direct vote of the people, there
by rendering slippery men who
pretend to stand on them entirely
unnecessary and uncalled for. We
should have a constitutional amend
ment allowing national questions
to be decided by popular, vote. Our
legislators powers should be con-
fined simply to originating laws,
those laws to DE voted on by the
people. This would, in large
measure, cut down the vast field
in which corruptionlsts now ope-
rate.-Prescott Courier.

The outlook for silver seems to
grow brighter. The stand taken
by Germany has encouraged the
friends of the white metal, and
even in the eastern part Of our own
country, the seat of gold bugism,
new friends are focking to the
standard. It is reckoned to be
more than probable that the inter-
national conference will result in
the adoption of bimetallic stan
dard by Germany, France and the
