GOOD SENSE REIGNS.
MINERS AT WARDNER DESERVE
APPROPRIATION.
They Agree to Resume Work at the
Old Wages Until Silver and Lead
Reach a Better Figure.

Wardner, Idaho, May 9.-The Bunker
Hill and Sullivan management hav-
ing expressed a willingness to resume
work in their mines at So for miners
and $3.50 for car men and shovelers.
the business men of Wardner and
Kellogg drew up this petition which is
being generally signed:
I'VE, the undersigned, citizens of
Wardner and Kellogg, in con-
sideration of the extremely low
price in lead, silver, and in
further consideration of the fact that
the cost of living has decreased, be-
lieve that while these low prices con-
tinue, So per day for miners and $3.50
for day laborers, are fair and just
rates of wages. We further believe
that the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mining and Concentrating company h. S
the same right to manage their own
affairs as we have to manage ours.
1--WE hereby pledge the company our
cordial support in its determination to
pay no higher wages while prices Of
lead and silver are so low, 1t being
understood that said company will re-
store wages to the former scale of $3.50
and SO whenever the prices of lead
and silver advance so that the combin-
ed value in New York of 100 pounds Of
lead to two and a half ounces of silver
shall amount to Sc"
1t is. believed that the miners will
resume on this basis. About 400 men
are employed.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Special 10 The Heraldo


Washington, May 9.-The Edmunds
anti-polygamy act is being vigorously
enforced in the District of Columbia.
During the past week four or five
couples have been convicted of unlaw-
full coha bitation, the court Of appeals
having decided that the law is applica-
bic here as well as in Utah and other
territories. The police in the different
precincts are getting together a list of
those living in unlawful cohabitation
and there is said to be scores of them
in a single police district. Some coup
les after being arrested were married
in police courts and then released. One
negro couple were married by the po-
lice judge, and the court officers and
attorneys acted in the capacity respec-
lively of best man, ushers, etc.
The determination of the officers to
enforce the Edmunds law has fright
ened the illegal cohabitors of the
Washington slums, and the conse-
quence is that the marriage license
clerk has been doing land Office bust
less fer the past few days.

San Francisco, May 9.-An evening
paper publishes a statement made %
Theodore Durrant to a friend. in which
the man charged with the murder OF
two girls in Emanuel church said that
he would make the greatest legal battle
in the history of the state, and eX-
pressed his confidence regarding the
outcome predicting that he would soon
be a free man. In addition to the
three attorneys already engaged for
the defense. Durrant has retained a
well known criminal lawyer, George A.
knight, and says the case will be
pushed to a speedy trial.
There are a good many things
against me- Durrant is quoted as say
ing, but I fear Harry Partridge VINO
testified that he had answered roll cali
for me on April 8, more than any other
witness. If Partridge persists in his
statement he will hang me, but my at
torneys will see him and perhaps he
will change his mind. I did him many
q good turn and often answered roll
call for him. 1 hope he wont continue
against me-" The prosecution does not
understand Durrant's fear of Partridge
whose testimony is corroborated.
April was the last day Durrant
visited Minnie Williams in Alameda.
Durrant denies that he offered ring
to Oppenheimer, the pawn broker. or
anyone else. He says Oppenheimer is
a tool of the police and has frequently
given similar testimony in other cases.
Durrant is studying medical books and
says upon his release he will continue
his course until graduation.

"HoNEsr MONEY" LEAGUE.

caEO.
Chicago, May s.-The executive COM
nittee of the Honest Money league
has decided to come out and fight the
silver men in the open. The work OF
organizing the wards of Chicago
against free silver, will be begun al
once. This, the members say, means
the first step in the fierce battle Tor
the national delegation which viii be
elected in 1896. The work will begin N
Cook county. but the agents of the
hague will press it until it ramif1es
throughout the state.
In taking this step the governing
committee Of the league has deter
mined to leave to the people the mat
Ter Of the adoption OF a financial pledge
FIR the national delegates. The tmenI-
bS& say that the committee found il
beAS to ignore the state convention,
but since the delegates have been
chosen. they are for the delega tes
whose opinions on the money question
will have some weight.
The committee on state organization
of the league yesterday issued an ad-
dress to Democrats of the state. 1t
said that the aggressive measures
taken by the silver l4en made it Inn
perative that immediate action should
be taken to let the people of the state
Know what would be the result Of
the abrogation of the sound currency.
The address says that the time for
temporizing and compromising has
passed and that decisive fight must
at once be made against the silver
men. It ends by urging the organiza-
ton of an auxiliary to the homes

The Professor Was Undoubtedly
Talking Through His Dunlap.
Chicago. May 9-W H. Harvey. au-
thor of Coin has this to say in re-
gard to Judge Vincents decision on
the unit of value from 1892 to 1873:
"As I read the decision, I read a.
farce. Mr.. Vincent quotes Hamilton's
report. and argues that Congress
adopted it and uses this as the basis
of his decision, when in fact, Congress
turned Hamilton down. Here is what
Hamilton recommended. 1 now quote
from his report before me:
Zone gold piece equal in weight and
value to ten units or dollars
"One gold piece equal to a tenth
part of the former and which shall
be unit or dollar.
=" One silver piece which shall also
be a unit or dollar
Congress refused to adopt the gold
unit clause and did enact the follow
ing:
Dollars or units-each to he Of
the value Of a Spanish milled dollar,
as the same is now current, and to
contain 374A grains of pure of 416
grains of standard silver
''Hamilton's recommendation was
just the reverse of the report of the
committee of the continental congress
on the money unit, and the opinions
of other statesmen of that time. Judge
Vincent had the benefit of these re-
ports. Hamilton recommended one
thing, Congress did the reverse, and
Vincent quotes Hamilton as author

should be no such thing as having

. Carrollton, Miss. May 9.-1n an in
terview on the money question Sena-
tor George said:
The present exhibition of a senti-
rnent in favor Of free coinage is rather
a disclosure than a growth. The
American people have never been sat-
dsf1ed with the act demonetizing silver
in 1873. That act was a snap judg-
lnent taken against them by a furtive
and disingenious parliamentary trick"
The senator then quoted the national
Democratic platforms of 1884, IS and
'92, favoring the gold and silver money
of the constitution. Continuing, he
said:
THE language was plain and I'M
Aequivocal. Nor was it understood to
mean, as afterwards claimed by the
gold monometallists, that we should
only have free coinage except by in
ternational agreement. That such ar
gument is now made condition of
the free coinage Of silver is plainly a
discrimination against silver.
1.-THE Republican national conven-
tions of 1888 and 1892 declared in
equally emphatic terms for the free
coinage of silver as did the Populist
convention of 1892.
1T will thus be seen that in every
possible way the American people have
from 1877 to the present time declared
characterization.
'&Y.hat has happened in the last few
mosx is not a rapid spread of free
coin4se sentiment, but a general and
emphatic expression of disgust at the
delay in giving voice and legal force
10 the wishes and sentiments of the
great mass of the American people and
of resentment at the attempts TO
stif1e that voice and to fasten on
the people gold recommendation. |
think the Republican leaders viii
not declare for gold monometal-
lism, or what is the same thing,
against the coinage of silver unless by
international agreement. [ think It
doubtful whether they will make any
declaration either way in unequivocal
terms.
L believe the Democratic national
convention will be forced by the pre-
dominant sentiment Of the party to
declare squareiy and unequivocally for
Independent free coinage by the Uni
ted. States without the cooperation OF
offer nations"
