sTocKMEN's CONVENTION.
Decided to Ask for Rigid Quaran
tine in All Cases.

tine in All Cases.
The Stockmens' convention
closed yesterday with a snap that
told the world that good results
would follow the deliberations Of
the delegates.
The remainder of the morning
session, after Mr.. McGaughey's ad-
dress, and the discussion and final
| rejection Of the resolution con-
demning the high terminal charges
at the Chicago yards, was devoted
to the reading and discussion Of
papers on allotted topics.
A memorial to the United States
agricultural department, respect
inn the international quarantine
regulations, was adopted.
The delegates went all to pieces
on the protection question, and
politics were introduced into the
discussion, when a resolution was
presented to ask congress to correct
the heavy importation of cattle
from Mexico aud Canada. On ac-
count of the protection idea being
so thoroughly republican it found
no favor with the majority Of the
delegates and was dropped.
After leaving the selection Of the
next place of meeting to the execu-
tive committee, and the adoption
of the usual resolutions of thanks,
the convention adjourned and the
junketing trip to the stockyards
and military review was taken.
The barbecue was we'll arranged
and reflected great credit on the
stock yards managers. The beef,
pork and mutton was cooked ex-
actly right and%was from the pick
of the. yards. A great deal Of
amusement was afterward afforded
the large company present by the
exhibition Of roping and riding wild
cattle. This was successfully done
by Dave Allen and A. Murray, col
ored men, attached to the stock
yards service. They received a
hat full Of coins from the specta-
tors.
Capt. Sanders colored quartette
also kept the crowd laughing until
several gentlemen tainted from
exhaustion.
After the visit TO the yards g
trip across the city was made to
Fort Sam Houston where n spe-
cial review of the infantry was
given for their benefit.
After the return to the city the
procession broke up on Alamo
plaza and the remainder of the
day was spent in sight seeing.
Most Of the delegates are leav-
ing for their homes today, though
many left on the trip to Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Jan. '16.-The
managers Of the four rival cities
which are urging their claims for
the democratic national conven-

tious, selfish men. Washington pathet-
ically referred to the estimation in
which he was held BY his political op.
ponents. After speaking of the attacks
on him as aggrayatingly malicious and
personal, he said they were made Gin
terms so exaggerated and indecent as
could scarcely be applied to Nero, a
notorious defauiter, or even common
pickpocket. Robert Morris, known in
history as the great financial philanthro-
pist Of the Revolution, was very COM
monty regarded in his day as inclining
towards the Shylock order. 1t is need
less to multiply examples. They are
strewn broadcast from Caesar to CleYe-
land, Crpsus to Rothschilds. The point
we make is that the successful politl-
clans of this generation win be the
statesmen of the next generation; the
money tainted shylocks of our time viii
in many cases prove to be the idOlized
philanthropists of future time. Is not
this humilating2 Is not this shocking
ly aggraVating, not to say perfectly
ridiculous. But that is the way it has
always been in this world; that is the
way 1t always will be. A prophet in
mis- own times, as well as his own home,
is without credit. Live statesmen are
dead politicians and dead politicians
are live statesmen. Shylocks are phi
lanthrOpisss unburied. There are none
great and good until after death and
decay. Odd isn't itP Finally, Healer
Schlatter is now doing service in a
Mexican chain gang.

A SAMPLE.

On January %, the Boise Sentinel pre-
seHted for general consideration what
it termed "BasiS of Union" and con-
cluded its proposition with the follow
ing language: 1--WE trust that all win
see the necessity of discussing this i'm
portant subject now, and arriving at a
definite conclusion" Out of respect to
the SentinerS acknowledged superior
ity as an authority ON political and
economic questions, we mOdestly ven
tured to discuss a few points which
were not quite clear to our mind, in
full expectation that the Sentinel
would cOurteously elucidate them.
But we seem to have mistaken the
SentinePS design and the impression is
growing upon us that blind endorse
ment, not open discussion was the OBJ.
ject desired. Perhaps, though, we mis-
judge. However, the following is a
sample of the SentineEs methods of ex-
position:
"The CALDWELL TRIBUNE gets real
mad at the prospect of the organization
of a silver party. Mr.. Davis jumps
stiff-legged and then jumps sideways;
he bellows, snorts, roars, and tears up
the ground; after doing all that, he ap-
peais to God to aid him. A Republican
is in close quarters when he appeals to
the Deity. This wild, blind, impotent
rage on the part of the Republicans of
thfu 0fntn polntfVn 70 thu .,
unite the silver forces, should convince
all Populists that it is the right thing
to do"
1t may be that that is broad and log
ical reasoning. Probably we ought to
be convinced beyond the shadow of a
doubt by that kind of argument. Pos.
sibly the fact that it is all miserable
lie and Misrepresentation ought not to
shake our confidence in the SenttneTS
ability and sincerity. We are not quick
at grasping the refinements of discus
sion and the SentineES methods be-
wilder us. Now, to rise to its standard,
we probably ought to hunt up lot of
dirty epithets and childish metaphor
and hurl them back at our esteemed
contemporary, than we might be con-
sidered as engaged iu intelligent and
instructive discussion of an important
subject. But we are not skilled in that
brand Of controversial science and
cheerfully yield the palm of superiority
to our accomplished contemporary who
possesses all the advantages, education,
habit and environment.

TlMIDLY SUBMITTED.

1t is with considerable trepidation
that we approach anything in the
nature of a discussion with our able
contemporary, the Boise Sentinel. Its
wide range of information and fine
scholastic attachments render it an au-
thority, on certain subjects, whose die
turn iG is hazardous to controyert
But perhaps we may, without appear
Ing PresumptiOus or provoking univer-
sal ridicule, venture to present few
ideas which appeal to the common un-
Outstanding however they may shock
the profound and erudite. After yield,
ing to a patronizing impulse and be.
slowing upon us general compliment,
the Sentinel says:
When the TRIBUNE reaches the Sec
ond plank-government control of the
volume OF money, it founders around
and finally topples off its base. Its
statement that true bimetallism means
that the natural supply of the precious
metals should regulate the volume of
money is not a principle of any politi-
cal party, nor is the theory adopted by
any modern civilized government. We
challenge It to point to one political
party that has so held, or any modern
government that so holds"
The learned commentator does not
appear to distinguish between money
and representative money-the thing
itself and a promise to produce it.
Government, like any other institution
having resources and credit, may with
in certain limitations control the vol.
ume of its promises to pay money, but
when it undertakes to control the vol.
ume of absolute money it must do one
of two things, increase or reduce
the metallic coinage. AS this govern.
ment owns no mines, it can increase the
metallic coinage in one way, only; that

ed, namely, silver 1t can decrease the

PROJECTION A HuMRuo.

Before any one finally determines to
pronounce protection q humbug, he
should carefully reflect that at the close

America was free and unrestraiued in

ties, to the vessels and merchan Use of
the world. What befelP Nearly every

CERTAINLY.

"The Tribune said when the time
came it would stand with the silver
men, it would be found at the center.
viii you do as you voluntarily agreed,
or will you back out ?"-Boise Sentinel
In reply to that, we answer, yes
plainly and emphatically, yes. We are
standing squarely and fairly with the
silver men. we will support no man
for public Office whom we know TO be
antagonistict to the cause of bimetallisim
provided one who is known to be sound
on the subject is put up in opposition
by any party, faction, sect, schism or
ism whatsoever. Is that satisfactory?
Can you get any nearer the center
But this does not signify that we ought
to tumble headforemost into any kind
of political hodgepOdge that politi'
clans and Office seekers may chose to
liable free silver. Nevertheless, we have
not the slightest objection to others
pursuing a different course. Were we
a Democrat or Populist at the present
time, we should certainly advocate fus-
ion, and it wouldn't shock our sensibil-
tiles one particle to call it fusion. But
we wouldn't insult the commonsenSe Of
men by trying to make them believe 1t
was some great moral reform we were
after. We would tell them plainly that
we wanted the offices and. wanted them
for the comfort and power and money

When some Of them objected that all

to stand pat ard after a while theiI
turn to suck the public teat would

rabble. we would cUnjure up some other
kind Of cock and bull story to hold
them in line. But we would be honest
with then about the offices and insist
that fusion could never amount to a
blooming success unless we got about
the best office in the patch.
