A man in a silver state, who
claims to be in favor of free sill

the principles and industries of
his state, is traitor He is
man you should not trust. He
will down you if he gets a chance.
Such men sell their state, do not

How often do we hear people
say, Where in the world do the
flies come from ?" It is simple
enough, says an exchange" The
topper makes the bottle fly, the
cyclone makes the house fly, the
carpenter makes the saw fly. the
boarder makes the butter fly, the
dancer makes the heel fy, the
jockey makes the horse fly, the
Cuban makes the Spanish fly,
and the tin can makes the dog fly.
We are under obligations to
the Blackwell's Durham Tobacco
Co. for one of their coupon pre-
miums-Blackwelrs Durham cir
Gus. The premiums given by
this firm in exchange for coupons
sent with their celebrated smok-

coupons and get one of their
fine premiums.
The supreme court of Idaho
has decided that the following
description of lode location was
insufficient to meet the require
ments of the state mining laws !:
Being situated and located on
the north side of Willow creek,
about one-half mile from the
Hurt mines, the direction being
southwest. The adjoining claims
are the Gem of the Woods claim
on the north, and the Kid claim
on the south, and the Greyhound
on the east. Location notices
must designate either natural
objects or permanent monuments
and locators should remember
this requirement.
There is considerable talk Just
now that Senator Teller is the
strongest man for the silver men
to nominate for president at the
Democratic convention. While
we have the highest esteem for
Senator Teller for his statesman
ship and loyalty to the silver
cause, we do not think it would
be wise for Democrats to nomin-
ate for their president. a Repub-
lican. The Democrats have a
number of true and steadfaSt
silver men in their own ranks,
that are capable, viz .'Silver
Dick Bland, Senators Morgan,
Daniels, Vest, Blackburn, Till
man. Gov. Altgeld and Hon.
VIM. Bryan. all of which are
brilliant statesmen. Silver men
must not divide; they must all
stand together and victory is
ours next November.

law providing for resumption of
specie payments in 1879; since

I'VE are unaltersbly opposed
to every measure calculated to
debase our currency or impair
the credit of our country. We
are, therefore, opposed TO free
coinage of silver except by inter
national agreement with the
leading commercial nations of
the world, which we pledge our
selves TO promote; and, until
such agreement can be obtained,
the existing GOLD STANDARD
MUST BE PRESERVED. All
our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at a parity
with gold. and we favor all meas
ures designed to maintain in
violably the obligations of the
United States and all our money
whether coin or paper, at the
nresant standard tho standard
