THE GIANT OF THE WEST.

Westward the star Of empire takes
its way. The storm center OF Amer
lean politics has moved with it. In
republican politics the axis OF affairs
is great deal further away from the
extreme east than ever before. With
the democrats we see for the first
time in the history OF the land a
presidential candidate named from
west OF the Mississippi river. In
VIM j. Bryan the star OF empire is
certainly getting nearer the heart of
the greatest and choicest portion of
The country. The convention which
nominated him was the most remark
able since 1850 The convention had
no choice for nomination until "A
man arose and by the magic OF his
oratory, his brains and his talent,
swept the whole convention from its
feet and carried it by storm, and they
began to cry ''nominate himp Like

take up the leading sentence. Must
you not take into consideration the
great fact Of production?" Hill and
all the gold men persist that silver
must be discontinued because II has
fallen In commercial value (only after
the government stamp was removed)
and the reason it has fallen is because
of over production of silver. That
the ratio of l6 to can no longer be
maintained owing to the increase of
silver production over gold. They
all can learn that they are falsifying
Ii is easy TO give the lie back into

there were 90 tons of silver produced
10 one ton of gold Prior to that
time, for period of 300 years the

yer to one ton of gold During the
40 years when it increased to 80 tons
OF silver to one of gold the ratio was
entirely unaffected. From 1920 to
1881 the production was 32t tons of
silver to one ton of gold. From
1880 to 1910 it was 29A tons of silver
to one ton of gold From 1910 to
1880 it was 14b tons of silver to one
ton OF gold. From 1850 to 1860 it
was 4 tons Of silver to one ton of
gold. From 1860 to 1870 it was G.
tons of silver to one of gold. Then
came decentralization. For 800 years
the production of 80 tons of silver to
one OF gold admitted an average ratio
OF 10 to |. A 4O-years increase to
oO tons OF silver to one of gold did |
not cause that to be changed But
when IT decreases to four and six
tons or silver TO one of gold, there
was an over production necessitat,no

waa IL :Juotifable Homicide

The shooting of Morris o. Smith by
John Sellers at Elk Mountain on Friday
OF last week. of which brief mention
was made in our last issue, has been the
subject of considerable comment, public
, opinion, as it usually is in such cases,
! being divided upon the question a to
whether the shooting was justified bv
the surrounding circumstances. While
it is not our purpose to convict or acquit
| the defendant, we are nevertheless an
xious to present the circumstances
which led to the commission of the
deed, but as the reports relating thereto
are so widely different, we find it diff
cult to determine which is the most
reliable.
1t appears that there had been i'll
| feeling existing between Sellers and the
Smith brothers for some time, (but even
this is dcnied) and that on Friday
morning Frank and Morris smith and
William Lewis, while riding along the
road neal William Smiths residence,
met Sellers who was in a wagon loaded
with lumber. When they met, Lewis
spoke to Sellers, saying good morning
John, whereupon Sellers, according to
one version of the story, stopped his
team, pulled the scabbard of his rifle
and shot at Lewis, missing him, after
which he is reported as having said hat
he did not intend to shoot Lewis, as it
was not him he was after. Sellers is
said to have then reloaded his gun and
going up to Morris, struck him on the
shoulder with the gun, disclargine it al
the same time with fatal effect, using &
vile epithet, and saying that he would
show him that he was prepared to lie,
fend himself. Sellers states that al
three Of the men were armed, but this
is denied by Lewis and Frank Smith,
who declare that Sellers was the only
one in the party that had a gun.
a c%oroners' inquest was held over the
body Of the dead boy (he was not yet II
years old on the night following his
death, the verdict of which was that he,
Morris o. Smith, came TO his death by
\ rifle bullet discharged by one John
Sellers from a Winch ester rifle at and
upon the said Morris O. Smith with
felonious intent.
In view Of the near approach of a
term of court, it is not probable that an
examination Of the case will be held.
The case is II which is to be greatly
deplored, resulting as it did in the death
Of a youth who is said to have enjoyed
the respect Of all who knew him, but as
to whether the man who blotted out his
life was justified in the commission Of
the awful deed remains Tor a court and

Musical Concert.

The attendance at the musical concert,
given by tho Bridges Bros. Convention
company at the Congregational Church
in this city on Wednesday night, was
exceptionally large, there being scarcely
standing room left in any part of the
house at eight o'clock. The musical
programme rendered by this popular
company, embracing solos, duets,t rios
and quartettss, were simply perfect in
their rendition, and ELECTED a goodly
measure of well merited applause. Their
faultless rendering Of the most difficult
numbers embraced in their elaborate
repertoire was accepted "a ample proof
of the fact that they were masters OF
their profession, ana the result was, the
organization of q local class Of more
than thirty members who will receive
instruction from them in local music
and voice culture for a term of six DAYS.
The Bridges brothers and their estima
BILE wives, in addition to their musical
accomplishments, are also possessed oil
high social qualities, and their presence
will add an additional charm to Custer
society during their brief s~ojourn in the
