Silver Democrats.

The Silver Democratic Conference
at Washington last week unani-
mously adopted resolutions declar-
ing that the National Convention
of 1895 should demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold
into primary or redemption money
at the ratio Of Is to /, without wait
ing for the action or approval of any
other nation. 1t further resolved
that the convention should declare
its irrevocable opposition to the
substitution of metallic money of
panic breeding corporation curren-
cy based on a single metal, the
supply of which is 50 limited that
it can be cornered at any time by a
few banking institutions in Europe
and America. 1t should alec declare
it's opposition to the policy Of sur
rendering to holders Of obligations
of the United States the option re-
served by law to the Government of
redeeming such obligations in gold
or silver, and to issue interest-bear-
ing bonds in time of peace and espe-
cially to placing the public treasury
under the control of any syndicate.
The resolutions are substantially
the same as those adopted by the
Missouri convention. They are in
direct conflict with the financial
policy of the Administration and
the republicans. They expose the
hypocrisy of Mr.. Cleveland and his
goldbug followers, who, while pre-
tending to be democrats, agree with
Senator Sherman and the republi-
cans on the question that concerns
a large majority of the American
people, and the only one that is
being discussed to-day throughout
the country.

Setting Up the Pins

Governor Mcconnell is already
at work in all parts of the state set
ting up the pins to land himself in
the q. S. Senate. He is working
the wires in this country so rapidly
that they are becoming hot. His
followers are not idle and his fine
work may even be detected in the
official acts of county officials who
worship at the shrine of the ghost
dancer. A Mcconnell slate has al
ready been agreed upon in this
county from janitor up to state sem
ator. and an attempt will be made
10 force it upon the people. Gov
ernor Mcconnell once said that it
was a part of his religion to reward
his friends and punish his enemies
and 1t is very noticeable fact in
this county that officers who sup
port him never let an opportunity
go by to punish and annoy his OBJ
ponents. They undoubtedly re-
ceive their inspiration from the
fountain head. These methods
may win for while, but they are
not lasting.-Ceur d'Alene Press.

Sibley on the Situation.

Congressman Sibley, prospec.
tive candidate for president, was in
Washington city last Saturday on
his way home from North Carolina.
He Indignantly denounced the state
ment that the sentiment expressed
in the Bilnetallic League platform
is dying out. Ii there is anything
the matter, he said, it is growing
too fast. 1t is growing faster than
we can organize. The people have
been educated sufficiently to make
the country overwhelmingly for the
free coinage Of silver ut Is to /.
What is needed is organization. l
am satisfied that if we could get a
vote directly on that question, with
out reference to anything else. we
can carry both New York and Penn
sylvania for free silver by q large
majority.
Sibley will make few speeches
in his own state and then go to
Kentucky and take part in the
gubernatorial fight.

The Jackson's Hole Indian Troubles
to Be Investigated.

A Washington dispatch says: The
question of what action should be
taken BY the Government in connec-
ton with the killing of the Bannock
Indians in the Jackson's Hole
country on July 18th last has been
referred.to the Department Of JUS
tice. 1t is understood that com
munica,ion on the subject was for
warded there this afternoon which
reci.ed the circumstances in the
case aud ends with u strong recon-
mendation for an investigation Of
the matter by the Department o.
Justice. 1t is understood that the
Attorney General was asked to send
special agents to Jackson's Hole.
and that the service Of the Indian
inspectors would be offered as as
sistants. Agent Teeter probably
will not form part of the commits
sion, as he has taken 50 prominent
a part in the troubles that the set
lers are greatly prcjudiced agains t
him.
It is believed that the arrest Of
certain settlers by the United States
authorities has been recommended /,
SO that the case may be brought
into court and that the weight Of
the treaty with the Bannocks and
the laws of Wyoming may be jr-
dicially determined.

California silver Convention.

The California silver convention.
called by the American Bimetal'c
League, met in San Francisco last
Monday. The attendance was large,
many counties in California having
full delegations. G. w. Baker wac
elected president and G. p. Keeney
secretary, and SAT delegates were re-
ported present and entitled to seats.
The usual committees being APP
pointed, President Baker, Hon:M. n.
Estee, T. G.. Phelps and others made
eloquent speeches. The report Of
the committee on resolutions, which
was unanimously adopted, con-
tanned the following as the chief
plank in the platform
"Resolved, That at the earliest
moment at which it can be legally
done, and without in any way con-
sidering the financial policy of any
other nation or nations, and ignor-
ing all advice, suggestions or threats
from any and every source, our ma
tional government should return to
the monetary policy of the fathers
of the republic, and at the coinage
ratio Of gold and silver of Is to !
respectively should again permit to
individuals the unlimited coinage
of silver and gold in our national
minis without preference to either
metal, thus again making our sill
yer and our gold coin available for
all purposes in this country without
discrimination for or against either.
thereby again making our silver
dollar, as it should always have re-
manned, standard unit measure
Of values"
The work Of the silver conven
ton was practically ended when
the resolutions were adopted. In
the evening number of stirring
speeches were made and the con-
yenliun adjourned.

A dispatch to the St. Louis Re-
public from Carrollton, Mo-, Aug.
II, says: Sheriff Stanley has re-
ceived a letter from Albert B. VIII
son, convict, In which he declared
that the Taylor brothers. just con-
victed of butchering the Meeks fam
lily, are not the real murderers, but
that the real murderers forced them
to give them clothes to replace their
bloody ones and then disappeared.
His story is not believed. The
convicted men, who were once
among the wealthiest in the county.
have presented aHidavits that they
are without the means to paw for
copying their appeal, and it will be
done at the expense of the State.
Judge Rucker has granted a stay
of execution pending the appeal
and the Taylors cannot now be
hanged before next spring.

At Old Monroe, Mo-, last Satur-
day Mrs. Baird, wife of a prominent
local farmer, killed Sam Elston, o
druggist for supplying her husband

drinking heavily, and his wife
threatened to kill the druggist if he
gave him any more liquor. Elston
did not heed the threat, and later
gave Baird a quart of liquor. The
Infatuated woman hunted Elston.
and when he tried to flee she shot
him in the back with q revolver,
killing him instantly.

to the fact it had now passed the
pyrotechnic stages of noises and

The official records show that the
total amount collected under the
income tax law was ST 900, while
The cost of collecting it was $50, 600.
It is true the expense was largely
caused by arrangements made to
collect the whole tax, but the fact
remains that it cost $50. 900 to col

didn't get the 81, 900 after all.

M1NNEAPoL1s, Jan. 7.-The arrival Of
Herbert L. Flint, the famous hypno-
tist, has awakened fresh interest in the
Cling murder case. Mr.. Flint came
here at the solicitation of r. r. Odell,
Claus Blixt's attorney, and just what
line of action he intends taking is
matter of conjecture as yet. Mr.. Odell
was closeted with the mesmerist at the
West hotel, and the two held quite
engthy conference. The entire his
tory Of the case was carefully gone
over. The mesmerist. it is SUPP osed,
will be able to so influence Blixt that
the condition of hysteria which he is
now supposed to be under will be
greatly lessened, so that he will oe
able to tell more about the details OF
the crime, fastening the guilt more
strongly upon Harry Hayward. 1t is
hard to understand just how such a
proceeding is going to benefit Mr..
Odell's client.

UTICA, N. y, Jan. 7.-About three
weeks ago William Flint and wife
came to this city from Binghampton to

is about % years of age and
his wife is 10 years his senior

Mrs. Flint arose at 10 o'clock and pro-
ceeding down stairs, levelled re.

Then the woman fired two shots at
Flint's mother, one striking her in the
breast and the other on the arm.
Though seriously wounded the injured
woman may recover. Mrs Flint says

AUSTRIAN RETALIATION.

Consu, Judd Says That Country Ii Not In
Position to DO So.
VIENNA, Jan. 7.-The United States
consul general, Mr.. Max Judd said that
the Austrian minister at Washington,
Baron Hengemuller Won Hengevar had
doubtless been instructed to enter q
protest at Washington against that
paragraph of the sugar schedule OF the
tariff act which imposes IN additional
duty Of one-tenth of one cent per pound
On sugar coming to the United States
from countries which pay bounty for
the production Of sugar, but he added,
all talk of Nprisals is absurd. Contin-
uing, Mr.. Judd said:
II am moro than satisfied that Aus
tria is not in a position to adopt retail
iatory measures. Tho yearly exports
Of Austria to the United States amount
to $4,000, 900. of which $3,20G, 900 is
sugar. The United States exports to
Austria only amount to $5O0,0O0. Con-
sequently it is absurd to talk about re-
tuliution. Under this now tariff Austria
cannot mako any further export OF
sugar to the United States.

The Nicaraguan Canal Bill May BE Acted
on This Week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE friends
of the Nicaraguan canal bill are hope.
full that vote may be reached some
time during the week, but whether it
will attain that important stage will
depend upon the persistence of the op-
position and the interference of the
appropriation committee.
The pension appropriation bill is the
only appropriation bill now before the
senate and it is not believed that its
consideration will consume much
time. but there is a probability that
the urgent deficiency bill will be re-
ported during the week, and in case it
should be and an effortis made to call it
up, it is to be the basis for numerous
speeches on the appropriation for car
rying the income tax into effect. The
opponents of the income tax generally
disavow any intention to defeat the
appropriation, only confessiug their
purpose of using itas a text for speeches
on the general policy of imposing such
tax The probabilities are, however,
against any effort to secure considera-
tion of this bill during the week.

ssSE WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-General Philip
Sidney Post, memter Of congress from
the Tenth district of Illinois. died at
the Hamilton hd M in this city dur.
ing the morning after an illness Of
about one day. His death was from
heart failure, resulting from acute gas.
Stritis. For some time he had been
suffering at intervals with attacks of
pronounced dyspepsia, but had at
teuded to his congressional duties unre-
zmittingly. He passed the holidays at
his home in Illinois and reached Wash
;ington Wednesday. Early Saturday
morning he was seized with all attack
of his old trouble, which did not. how
ever, assume serious form until
evening. During the night heart fail
ure set in, and for some hours before
his death, which occurred at 4::W q. M.
the physicians could detect hardly any
pulse beat.
General Post was best known
through his brilliant military services
In the Rebellion, where he won high
rank and distinction with great rapid
itv
