Weiser Prosperous.


Under the above head, Editor Bal
derston, after his visit here to attend
the state committee meeting, writes
in the Statesman as follows:
The town of Weser is in prosperous
condition and the prospects fer the future
are very bright. Over 80 dwelling houses
have been recently put up and it is be-
lieved the building boom is to continue
for some time. The Masonic fraternity is
now figuring on plans for large ornate
structure nearly opposite the Ode Fellow
hall, the upper story of which is TO be
used for the purposes of the society.
The farming and horticultural interests
in the vicinity of Weser are in an encour-
aging condition. Mr.. Hannah's effective
advertising of the horticultural possibili-
ties of that locality has had q marked
effect and many settlers are being at
tracted. In this connection a Caldwell
man tells a good joke on himself. He
had been in correspondence. with an east
/ ern party with the view of selling the
latter tract of land near Caldwell In
his last letter from his correspondent the
latter gave prominence to the query, How
near are you to Weiser?"
Weiser also has some curioslties. Among
Them is white coon that is IA pet among
the people of the town and robs the mar
ket baskets of citizens as they are carried
past the point where it is chained to the
sidewalk. 1t has also distinguished itself
by whipping all the dogs of the place and
Killing considerable number of the cats
The animal is white all over, not having
a single dark hair.

Last Saturday another gathering
of citizens took place at the court
house, and after some talk it resolv-
ed itself into convention to consid-
er the coming town election and put
q ticket in the field to meet their
views. Some were present who, liv-
ing outside the corporate limits had
no voice in the proceedings and 9th
ers who had been in the previous
convention did not vote. Some very
sensible remarks were made by w.
w. Pritchett, l. f. Smith, T. G.
Galloway, G. W. Foor and Mr.. Bor-
oughs.
The organization then adopted the
following as it's platform:
We are in favor of extending the town
limits west so as to include the Waiting
ton addition.
We are opposed to any salaried officers
or creating any municipal debt.
We are IN favor of making such I'M
movements in our streets and street cross
ings as the road fund and the fund de-
| rived from licenses will provide, skillfully
expended.
We are in favor of making property
owners construct suitable and substantial
sidewalks when and where public con-
venience require.
We are in favor of such sanitary super
vision and restraints as good health and
decency demand.
We are in favor of making the town
marshal road supervisor.
We are in favor of an effective police
department PROVIDING the money col
lected as fines will maintain one.
That is a pretty good platform,
So too.
II The convention then proceeded to
"a nominate five as trustees on that
platform.
1t was moved to endorse Ed Bar
ton. John Cobbs and Frank Harris,
nominees of the other convention,
and they were placed on the ticket
by acclamation.
W. w. Pritchett and Herman Haas
were elected by reclamation as the
other two nominees.
The election of board favorable
to the extension of the corporate
limits will not signify that it will b.
done.
1t can only be done upon petition
of the majority living in this end anC
there is considerable number il
West Weiser opposed to the prop
ostion, and the majority may not b.
f. obtainable.

Gold and silver.

Ever since the resumption of specie
payments, in 1879, the Treasury has
paid gold for greenbacks, when gold
was demanded, and has redeemed,
in the same way, the treasury notes is
sued under the Sherman Law. The
Secretary of the Treasury has never
exercised the discretion given him to
redeem the latter notes in silver-hold-
ing that his discretion was limited to
such use of silver as would not de-
stroy the parity of the gold and sill
yer dollars. And our Secretaries
have been right, l think, in holding
that the parity of our gold and silver
coins will be destroyed the moment the
Government takes from the holder of a
greenback or treasury note the cleo
ton of the coin he will receive in ex-
change for it. If he wants gold, and
silver is thrust upon him, the latter is
deprecated and the former appreciated.
IF the holder of United States note
cannot get gold at par for it he will
pay premium for the gold he must
have to meet a gold obligation. A
premium ON gold would at once drive
out of circulation, for coin that is at
a premium cannot be used in trade.
No one is bound to pay gold to the
Government for any tax or other debt
due to it. So that practically the sit
