lie Passed Away Yesterday Mt His Homo
in Jcrnyn.


in Icrrnyn.
Justice of the Peace William Jen-
kins, one of the very earliest residents
of Je-myn, died yesterday morning at
6 o'clock. He has lived in Jermyn for
over twenty-nine years and has been
one of the most exemplary and respect
ed citizens of the place.
He was born near Pontypool, Mon
mouthshire, South Wales, in 1884, and
came to this country in 1866, settling in
Jermyn, where he has lived ever since.
He was a son of the late Rev. William
Jenkins, for many years pastor of the
Welsh Congregational church of that
place. He leaves a widow and four
children, Mrs. W. g. Trim and w. A.
Jenkins. of West Pittston, and Rasol-
ANA and RACHEL jenkins. of Jermyn.
He also leaves four brothers and one
sister. The brothers are Rev. d. NJ
Jenkins, Liverpool, England: Rev. T..
N. jenkins, Bloomfield, Conn; and
Henry and e. d. Jenkins, of Scranton.
His only sister, Mrs. Jonathan Davis,
resides at West Pittston.
His funeral will take place from his
late residence, at Jermyn, on Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock.

SERMON BY FATHER FEELEY.
Forty Hours Devotion Opened at Holy
Rosary Church.

Rosary Church.
Rev. ]. j. 3. Feeley, of the cathedral,
preached the opening sermon last night
Of the Forty Hours devotion at Holy
Rosary church, Providence. The theme
was on the necessity of the children Of
the Catholic church to show good ex-
ample.
The reverend speaker said the church
does not fear persecution; she glories in
it, but breads with horror the bad ex-
ample of her children. Yet, it Is not
logical to reason that the church in
itself is bad because some or even many
Of her children are wicked. Christ said
there would be scandal, but he said
"Woe to him by whom the scandal
cometh." The Savior compared his
church to a field, where the good SER
wants sowed wheat, but while they
slept the devil came and sowed cookie.
Both grew up together, but in harvest
time the wheat was gathered into the
granaries and the cookie was bound in
bundles and burned in the fire.
The hearers We're exhorted to give
good example, and, as st. Peter says,
"By doing good, you will put to shame
the ignorance Of foolish men," The
speaker admonished them that every
one is responsible before God for the
sins that others commit by the force of
his example

The silver men in the two old par
ties have in the past been the most
efficient workers in the cause Of mon
opoly, says the Western Mining
World. The goldites have controlled
the National conventions of both
parties, and the silverites have led
the forces and ratified the goldite
platform and nominee. AS long as
silverites of the two old parties will
continue to ratify the action of gold
lite national conventions that ele-
nent will continue to rule the coun-
try, There is a movement of these
silverites in the democratic and re-
publican parties to capture the ma
tional conventions in 1895. 1t is the
most pronounced and vigorL us move
ment of the kind which has taken
place since the characterization of sill
yer in 1873. IT it should succeed in
nominating a man in either party
with an unquestionable silver record,
on platform Of Is to by the I'm
tied States alone, that party would
most certainly be victorious in 1896.
and American liberty would be re-
gained. II the free silver men fail,
what then? Will they join the gold
forces against the country and fight
ID the ranks Of the enemies of civili-
zation because the consolidated banks
and money changers Of America and
Europe, with the press and railroads
at their command, have been able to
again pack national convention and
misrepresent the will of the people?
We sincerely hope our good friends
will succeed in their conventions in
1895. But we warn all true lovers of
liberty that the struggle in these con-
ventions will be. TO say the least,
doubtful. Is it safe to make the cause
OF silver dependent upon the action OF
a party which has been for years sub
ject to the will of an alien gold trust?
Honest democrats and republicans
had better watch. Is it safe to put
too much faith in what the conven-
lions may do IN view OF what preced-
ing conventions have done? Faith
may move mountains, but it has never
yet moved a national convention of
either party for the last twenty years
from the firm adhesian to the gold
standard, contraction, hard times,
misery and want.

In commenting on some statements
made recently in a so-called repub-
llcan newspaper in Latah county in
the way Of charges against the state
administration in regard to the school
book deal, timber deal and other reck-
less and vicious charges which have
no foundation whatever and have been
been proven utterly false, the Moscow
Mirror has the following to say:
Mr.. Sweet and his gang OF cut-throat poll
ticians have done more to mOrtally wound
the republican party in Latah county, and
Idaho, than all other forces combined. 1t
has been their policy to attempt to down ev-
cry republican who would not stab any man
in the back who would not howl the praises
of Willis or who dared to maintain that the
party was greater than Sweet or any other
man. Instead of circulating
falsehoods about the state administration.
Mr. Sweet and his crowd should endeavor to
place the truth before the people, who know
that the state is getting its books at figure
never known before. These false insinua-
tiOns do not come from a true republican; no
man or any set of men, who respect the prin-
ciples of protection will injure the party by
such methods simply to further their own
ends The people and the party have no
use for such men and the sooner they are for
ever f1oored the better it will be for the state

IN its issue Of September ID, the

AN effort is being made by the
farmers and other business men of
Latah county to have Judge Piper
postpone the regular September term
OF the superior court until December
lst. The reasons for this unusual re.
quest seem to be very good and the
judge should grant it. The principal
reason advanced by those in favor Of
postponing court is that a number of
foreclosure suits against farmers
are on the docket, and they aver that
if the farmers are given time until
December 1st to market their crops
and settle up their accounts number
of these suits will be stopped, and
much needless cost saved to that class.
The situation seems to be just about
this: The farmers and busine ss
men Of the county are in favor of hav-
court postponed, while the loan COM
panies, the attorneys and the political
coocoos do not. Judge Piper should
listen to the right side.
LATER-Judge Piper has decided
not to adjourn the coming term of
court in Latah county. No equity
cases will be heard, however, until
December.
I'm 1894, "says the Blackfoot News,

they no longer submit to being

and his English policy.

SIX COMPOSITE GUNBOATS
Naval Bureau Chiefs PerpIexed and at
Variance Over the Plans.
Chief Constructor Hichborn Anxious to Equip
Them With Full Sail, but officials
Favor Twin-Screw Power

The board of naval bureau chiefs has
been for the past week spending many hours
almost daily in considering the designs
for the six composite gunboats author
lied to be constructed by the last Con-
gress, and it is doubtful if the chiefs have
been so much perpleXed aud at variance
since they first undertook the work of re-
vising plans for the construction of naval
vessels
The features of the plans which has de-
veioped the widest differences of opinion
is that of sail power, for the designs pre-
pared by the construction bureau as a basis
for the boards action, include full
outfit of sails. The boats have been
given a spread of canvas of IL GOO square
feet
1t would be desirable to give them more,
but this could not be done without infrng-
ing upon space otherwise needed. This
amount of canvas practically makes the
gunboats full-powered sailing craft, and
in this city they will be much different from
any of the other vessels OF the new Navy
1t is thought that since the general adop-
ton of twin screws the probabilities of ac
cident have been so reduced as to justify
sails being ignored altogether. There
fore in the case of these new boats Chief
Constructor Hicbboru has taken the ground
that auxiliary sails is worse than use
less, and that the boats should either
abandon sail altogether or be supplied
