The staff of the English railroads is
mostly made up of men who entered the
service as lads, say, IA years old, and
necessarily in very subordinate posi-
tions-about the stations as porters and
telegraph boys, in the offices as messen-
gers and subordinate clerks, or in the
shops doing such humble work as boy
tan do.
These boys come largely from the
firms In fact, one old station master
bold me that tho plowboys are the best
material that he has. He himself hav-
ing been plowboy, and his general
superintendent having been another,
perhaps he is little prejudiced, but he
said these boys are less inclined to drink
and to be saucy than city bred boys.
They Are healthier and more docile and
have sounder brains. -Scribner's Mag

There is a certain hour in every day
when the careful navigator betakes
himself to thu bridge of his steamer to
find out, in local parlance, "where he
is at" There is such an hour for every
business man. If he takes his reckon
ing wisely he will find out that the
country is, apparently, just now emerg-
ing from one of those long periods of
depression during which only log reck-
onings could be made and that clearer
skies now promise to permit him to
rush ahead with greater energy and
more steam. People are now casting
about for opportunities for investments.
The rise in the price of many commod-
tiles has put new life in many indus
tries. Mining Is again interesting cap
italists. In spite of the hard times,
people must find employment for their
money and muscle, and mines are once
more being considered as good invest
menis. That there will be many per-
sons in Owyhee looking out for proper
ties seems quite certain. When they
come we hope prospectors and claim
owners will not get their heads turned
and ask prices which will preclude
deals. That is one of the principal
failings of prospectors. They will re-
main imaginary capitalists too long and
die with holes in the seats of their
breeches. A hole in the greund with
big ledge and good assays does not al
ways constitute mine. Let the fellows
who have money to spend to prove it a
mine, have il at reasonable figure.

Reed, Mckinley, Allison and remote
possibility of Sherman.
Harrison would be very glad to wear
his "Grandfather's Hat" another four
years and would consent to be elected
on platform, the silver plank ofwhich
would be similar to that adopted in 1872,
namely: "We are in favor of gold
and silver coinage, with such restrict
ions as the Government, in its wisdom,
may place upon it to keep the two met

BILE of words, meaning nothing or any
thing,t to suit any and everybody.
Tom Reed would be willing to stand
on the same platform and add erin 60
Bragh,u and Root Hog or Die" to
make it more binding. In fact Tom
Reed is willing to stand on anything
excepting his honor.
Allison is no better siver man than
elIDtf VI iuSu.
Mckinley comes out fairly and square
ly and says if there is a free silver plank
in the platform hewont play, $50 there

John Shermsn-but what's the use
of saying anything about him? We

Now if the Republican party is earn

that is not susceptible Of two or more
interpretations, and then the people
would begin to think that their con-
version was genuine indeed.
But as long as they pursue the two

they can't, in the face of their former
record, blame the people for being sus-
picious of them. Why is it that the
names of Teller, Don Cameron and 9TH

The Chances For Silver In the
Republican Party.

We often hear it said by both indi-
viduals and the press of the Republican
faith that the only chance for silver is
in the Republican party.
1t cannot be denied, even by the Re-
publicaus themselves, that we owe the
degradation of silver to that party.
But, they tell US the party has had a
change of heart on this matter and in
the language of one of old, "The things
they once hated they now love-"
Now, iftbey have had change of
heart, it would be natural to expect a
corresp onding change in their policy
and the words of John the Baptist to
the Pharisees, who came to him for
baptism can very appropriately be ap-
piled to them: 'Ho, ye generation of
vipers, who hath warned you to fee
from the wrath to come? Bring forth,
therefore, fruits meet for repentance"
1t is universally acknowledged that
in order to be assured of legislation
favorable to silver it is very necessary
that the man whom We elect for Presi-
dent should be bimetaliat, aud not
only that, but We can form very cor
rect opinion as to the policy of the
party by their selection of the man they
seek to honor by electing him to the
highest Office in the world-that of
President of free people.
Now let us see how far the Republi-
cans can demand the support of voters
on account of their love for silver.
The available candidates, so far as
have been mentioned, are Harrison,

The Han of Cur Choice.

The NUGGET having been the first pa
per published west of the Mississippi to
name Senator Cameron, of Pennsylva-
MIA, as the pro- per man for the Repub-
lcans to nominate for the presidency,
is pleased to- SEQ such sentiments as the
following, which We copy from the
Statesman
The Washington correspondent ofthe
Chicago Inter Ocean states that Senator
Don Cameron is deyoting great deal
of time to the encouragement of free
coinage sentiment ir Pennsylvania and
other eastern states aud that his work
is bearing ruit on every hand. The
correspondent furthes states that the
Pennsylvania Senator is candidate
for the presidential nomination. He
thinks he can control the delegation
from his own state and that the west
will give him material aid. If he comes
into the field, the west can afford to
stand by him as a unit. There is no
other man in the entire galaxy of AM
erican statesmen who is 80 available as
he as presidential candidate. There
is no other man who could command so
much confidence in tie east while
rallying the west to support him with
enthusiasm; and there is no other
Republican who could poll SO large a
vote as he in the south. Cameron
could not be defeated at the polls, and
the silver men could not take wiser
step than to inaugurate movement
looking to his nomination.
The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1895-04-27

1t is mistake to mention the move
now being made by Messrs. Jones, War
ner, Sibley, Stewart and others as a
new party or the silver party. There
is no new party yet. The new party is
only contingency. If either of the
old parties will put prominent silver
man at the head of the ticket and upon
a silver, straight out, l6 to l platform,
there will be no new party. Cameron,
for instance, at the head of the Repub-
lican ticket or Senator Morgan as leader
of the Democrats would eliminate the
necessity for new party.

That Railroad Again.

From the very beginning of the Owy-
hee raiload talk in Boise, the NUGGET
has taken the ground that Owyhee
would, sooner or later, secure an outlet,
and that our people would welcome
any enterprise which would secure an
outlet for our minerals and bring as
cheaper fuel, timbers and supplies. We
have said over and over again that
while the people would like to see the
road built from Boise that that was
chiefly sentimental preference and
would give way to any practical move
towards building the road from any
other point. We have insisted that
Boise people did not fully appreciate
the Importance of securing road be-
fore some other place was proposed
which would cut them out. 1t has been
remarked by us many times that Boise
had an opportunity to become the COM
mercial metropolis, not only of Idaho,
but of the territory between Ogden and
Spokane, and from Butte TO the Cascade
Mountains, by securing the first roads
to the mining camps; bat that if she let
the opportunity slip she would simply
remain the attractive little capital city
that she now is and the commercial
center of this vast, rich and and splen-
did territory would be built wherever
the feeders to the trunk lines, built and
projected, should cross. Railroad pro-
moters and builders also promote and
build cities. If they see more profit
for them inspurcbasing a large tract of
virgin land aud building up business
center than in buying their way into an
already established town, they will
build the new town. The only way to
head them off from doing this is to
show them that the established town
already has business they cannot af-
ford 10 loose anu they will 90 there.
Last Saturdays Boise Statesman an
nounces that il has authority for stat
ing that J. j. Hill, the builder of the
Grsat Northern road is behind the
Montana purchasers of the 0reron Pa
ci6c and contemplated buildfng the
Seven Devils road to Payette and road
to the Owyhee camps; that the Oregon
Pacific extended into Montana would
give him Pacific coast connection.
Wherever he chose to have these roads
cross the Oregon Short Line would be
established the business center of this
vast inter-mountain region.
Boise can only have voice in say
ing where that point shall be by hurry
ing up the construction of the 0wyhee
railroad before this great railroad |
builder has his plans matured. 1t be-
hooVes the business men and real estate
owners of Boise to act promptly. The
committee has already supplied them
with figures which practically prove
the proposed enter prise can be placed
upon a paying basis. Now let them
push matters.
