course in it's dealings with the
United States and other countries
are compelled to give it credit
for having displayed superior
diplomatic ability. And its late
st move is several points ahead

uninhabited islands to Great
Britain, to be used as a station

to talk about it, charging that he
was marrying her for her riches.
The young editor was vexed at
this, of course, and he persuad-

to the world the sincerity of his

The following is the joint
memorial introduced in the house
by Mccarthy and in the senate
by Heitfeld:
ITO the Honorable the Senate
and House of Representatives, in
congress assembled, and to his
Excellency. the President of the
United States:
Your memorialists, members
of the Legislature of the State of
Idaho, most earnestly pray for
the passage by the present con-
gress of a law for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, as it
existed prior to its demonetiza-
ton in 1873, viz: on the basis of
sixteen parts of silver to one
part of gold by weight.
I'VE also earnestly protest
against the passage of the bill
now pending in the house of rep
resentatives known as the Carl
isle bill.
I'VE believe in the constitu-
tional money of the country, viz:
gold and silver. We also believe
that to save the industrial mass
es from financial ruin the volume
of money must be increased, by
the free coinage of both silver
and gold, supplemented by a
sufficient amount of legal tender
paper to restore prices to a basis
of profit
I'VE also believe that as it
takes all of the money in circu-
latiOn to carry on tie business of
the country, every dollar rer-
mitted to circulate as money.
whether Of gold, silver or paper,
should be of full legal ten5er in
payment of all public and private
debts. and that no creditor should
be allowed by contract to de-
s:roy the legal tender quality of
any dollar authorized 10 circulate
by law.
I'VE therefore pray thatspeedy
re ief may be given to a greatly
distressed people by the adopt
ION of a financial system which
shall embody, among other
things. the suggestions in this
memorial.
And your memoI ialists viii
ever pray"

Democrats and $4,000 Populists are united
on the silver question and they will work
together. The first evidence of consolida-
ton Of the silver wing Democrats and
Populists is the announcement that
Clarence S. Darrow, the acknowledged
leader. locally of the Populist purity, will be
placed on the SD ward delegation to the
silver Demoratic State Convention. 1t is
claimed that the fusion between the silver
wing Democrats and Populists in Chicago.
is complete, and at least fifty Populists will
be chosen delegates to the state convention.
A similar condition is said to exist
throughout the state wherever a strong
Populist sentiment exist.

A Murder and Suicide Due to Je alousy.

Boston, April 27.-What is believed to
be a case of murder and suicide was
brought to light tonight at the lodging
house No.45 Hancock street. A bout 5
O'Clock strong smell of gas attracted
attention to the room occupied for the
past four weeks by Fl. E. Daniels and a
woman said by some to have been his
wife. but was commonly known as Mary
e. Richardson. An investigation was
made and the dead bodies of hoth were
found upon the bed which WAS more or
less beslneared with blood. The room
was filled with gas, which was pouring
from four open burners and the room
and bed bore evidence that desperate
struggle had taken place. A pile of
letters addressed to the woman either
as Mrs. Daniels or Miss Richardson,
was found in the room, the writer's evil
IDENTIFY being men with whom she had
been unduly intimate. Thes theory is
that Daniels became jealous and en-
ragged upon finding these letters and
turning on the gas full force, deliberate
lysheld the woman in bed until she was
asphyiated and then took his own life
by allowing himsef to be overcome by
the deadly fumes. Daniels was 35 years
old and employed as bar tender in
saloon on Commercial street. He is said
to be the same man who about three
three yea1s ago, while living in Vest
boro, sold his wife for $500, for which
crime he served a term in prison. The
woman was % years of age.
