The Nevada State Journal says:
Governor Mcconnell of Idaho
was in attendance at the Salt
Lake Silver Conference. When
asked if he would make square
fight for silver at the ratio Is to
l he gave an evasive answer.
Commenting on this the Silver
State says:
There are too many silver
men like Governor Mcconnell,
this state having about 200 of
them. They are 16 to 1 free
coinage men if the Republican
party should happen to take such
stand, which is so remote a pos
sibility that no sensible person
considers it for a moment. But
in case their party comes out on
square goldbug platform, they
will be found supporting the
candidate, whoever he may be.
Silver (?) men of this stripe re
tard the cause of free coinage
more than do the avowed gold
bugs"

Partisans and patriots will
properly designate the voters at
the next presidential election.
People who think more of their
party than of their country will
continue to vote as they have
been accustomed to vote, for
whatever candidates are set up
by their party leaders, be they
Democratic. Republican or Popu-
list. The real patriot will look
beyond his party and cast his
vote where it will best subserve
public welfare. Party slavery
is a most dangerous thing in a
republic; it is even more destruc-
tive to free institutions. than was
African slavery in its time. 1t
is a servitude often based upon
abiect cowardice, and is more
threatening TO liberty than com
pulsory service, because more
insinuating and deceptive. Men,
from the best of motives, fire.
tquently vote for the destruction
of their country, but it is done at
the command of party. If love
of the republic were always par
amount to party allegiance, our
institutions would be perfectly
safe and our liberty perpetual.
The worst enemy this country
will ever have is the citizen who
SO far forgets his duty as to stand
by his party, right or wrong.

1t is not a hard matter to locate
Gov. Mckinley on the silver
question, as he declared recently
that, IF the Republican party

will line up when the goldbugs

Allen w. Thurman, Chairman
of the Ohio Democratic State
Committee, on being asked what
he thought of Secretary Carlis-
les speech, said
ITO all those who are CONVEX
SAINT with the history of the sub
ject, it is simply laughable to
think that the great Secretary of
the Treasury, in defense of the
administration and sound money,
has been compelled simply to
make the same speech that has
been made each year by John
Sherman for the last twenty
years. 1t is almost dead copy,
and has been answered over and
over again until the people are
weary of it.
The same dishonesty pervades
it as does the copy from which
it is taken, but in the case of
Carlisle it is worse, because he
pretends to be Democrat and
then states that Democratic sena-
tors, and among them my father,
voted for the act of 1873. He is
trying to create the impression
all the while by his statement
that they did this with full
knowledge of what the bill con-
tanned, when he knows that
every one of these senators and
representatives Including grand
old Beck from his own state) de-
MED in open senate that they had
any knowledge of what he tries
in his speech by fraud to make
the people believe they did. AS,
for instance, Judge Thurman
said: i cannot say what took
place in the house, but / know
when the bill was pending in the
senate we thought is was simply
a bill to reform the mint, regu-
late the coinage and fix up one
thing and another, and there
was not a single standard man in
the senate, unless a member OF
the committee from which the
bill came, who had the slightest
idea that it was even squint al
decentralization

SPLICED A SNAKE.

DIR. G. A. Countryman, of Melette,
s. D., possesses combination snake.
It is half garter and half sandy snake.
and this peculiar composition was made
possible by surgical operation per-
formed by the doctor. His attention
was directed to snakes from observing
that when a snake is killed its tail APP
pears to live until the sun goes down,
when life ceases. 1t is thought by
many that this is owing to the nerves.
but the doctor was somewhat skeptical
ON this point.
Being surgeon, he dissected sew.
eIal and made some interesting dis
coveries. He found that in both the
sand and garter snakes the spinal col
umn extended little more than half the
length Of the body. Knowing that it
was possible to graft flesh. this led him
to cbloroform them and try splicing
them, making the splice, of course,
below the end of the spinal column.
He made four unsuccessful attempts.
but succeeded IN the fifth. The grated
snake he has now is apparently in good
health and the Joined parts are per-
fectly knitted together Its body Is
of the sand snake and its tail is a
garter snakes. The sand snake Is
spotted and looks exactly like a rattle
snake, while the garter snake IS
striped and it's color is of the different
shades of green and yellow. Both Oh
these varieties of snakes are harmless
and common throughout the state

A NEW ELECTRIC PEN.

Those who have fancy for seeing
telegram in the actual handwriting of
the distant sender can be gratified by
having recourse to the telautograpb.
This instrument reproduces the mes
sage exactly as it is written by means
of stylus electrically connected with
the sending instrument An electric
pen, working on an entirely different
principle and intended for photographic
duplication. has been exhibited in
London. The pen consists of holder
bearing copper wire, which are con-
nected at the end by a small loop of
steel wire. An electric current which
is passed through the pen from small
dry cell, warns the steel loop to
temperature somewhat above the fusing
point of wax. The pen, being then
applied to thin sheet of porous Japa-
nese paper covered with wax, melts
the wax as it traverses the surface, and
sheet is thus made into stencil
open for the transmission of ink. The
stencil sheet is fixed in a frame, and
from it copies of the original writing
may be taken to practically an unlim-
tied extent with an linking roller in
the usual way. Lines of any thickness
may be made without impairing the
reproducing power of the stencil.
The invention is not like SO many hav-
ing a similar purpose in view, con-
fined to letter copying but may be
used for illustrations of all kinds.
The whole apparatus is contained in
small. compact box.
