hORSELESS MAIL WAGONS.

HOrseless mail wagons will soon

1t will simply he "a small postoffice

that the scale will be smaller. The
body of the wagon will be hung ON
springs and counter springs and the
wheels shielded with heavy rubber
tires. For a long time Gen. Nelson

transactions are small i'm their char
acter. They are all made i'm silver
or its equivalent. The wages of
labor are all paid in silver. So are

A Silver Basis.

Would not free coinage result in
driving gold out of the country and
leave Is on a silver basis? This is
question frequently asked by honest.
well-meaning men, who would like
to favor silver but who have been
misled by gold standard falsehOOds.
For the writer to give his opinion
ON this point would he "a waste Of
ink and besides it would be copying
the methods of sound money writers.
The gold-standard editor never
quotes any authority for his views
but il rather IA law unto himself"
On difficult question like this it
is safer for we common people to
learn what is the teaching ofeminent
authorities ON political economy
the learned students of monetary
science. Among these no man
stands higher probably, than John
Stuart Mill who, speaking of
premium on gold says: However
high this nominal premium may be
it has no tendency to send gold out
of the country for the purpose of
profiting by the premium, because
the gold SO sent must he procured,
not from the banks at par, but in
the market at an advance in price
equal To the premium. 1t thus
appears that a depreciation of the
currency does not effect the foreign
trade of the country. This il carried
on precisely as If the currency nfain-
tuined it's value"
This is not in accord with the
theories advanced by the gold-stand-
ard newspapers which flood the
country, but sensible men will not
hesitate i'm choosing bet ween such
authority az John Stuart Mill and

writer's who. instead Of assuming

of that blessed missionary hymn

CUBAN BELl.IGERENCY.
A Faint Prospect That the Senate VIII Act
Before the cubans Gain Their Liberty

WASHINGTON. March 2O.-Just be-
fore the senate adjourned today
senator Morgan, who reported the
Cuban resolution originally and has
from the start taken a prominent
part i'm the senate debate favorable
introduced thcfollowing: Resolved
by the senate and house Of represen-
tatives of the United States i'm con-
gross assembled, That it is hereby
declared that state of public war
exists i'm the island of Cuba between
the government of Spain and the
people of that island, who are sup
porting a separate government under
the name of the republic of Cuba,
and a state of belligerence between
them is hereby recognized.
The Significance of the resolution
is that it is a Joint resolution instead
of concurrent, and that 1t IL con-
fined to the bare recognition Of
belligerency upon the basis of a
declaration that a state of war ex-
lists I'm Cuba. Senator Morgan said,
i'm reply to a question. that it was
his purpose to afford those who had
objected tn the concurrent form of
the original senate and house resolu-
tions and had expressed n willing
ness to support a joint resolution, a
chance to- make good their promises.
The resolution was, at MOrgan's re-
quest, allowed to lie ON the table
and was referred to the committee
on foreign rcla tiOns. His purpose
i'm seeking this disposition of ii is to
bc able to consider the resolution
without delay. He says he will try
To call IL up ON Monday, regardless
of the concurrent resolutions now

concerned, he il willing that any

Alexander III. Fergus. aged twenty
four years. youngest son of William
Fergus, of Box Elder creek, died at
the residence of his sister, Mrs David
Hilger, i'm Lewistown. Wednesday.
March 18th.
Deceased came to America from
Scotland i'm 1852 and for many years
has been the rod upon which his
father leaned i'm the home work, the
elder SONS being i'm business for them
selves and separated great part of
the time from the family. In Janu-
ary last w. Ii. Fergus, an elder son,
was taken i'll with typhoid fever
at his ranch on Lower Dog creek and
shortly after was brought to the
Fergus home for attendance Since
that time Will has been constantly
ill and Miss Nellie has been confined
to her bed for a month past, though
both are now out of danger and re-
covering strength rapidly. Alex had
complained of his kidneys and lungs
for several weeks before being taken
with the fever and was i'm no condi-
tion tn withstand the ravagcs of
that fearful disease, succumbing after
three weeks illness. The remnins
were taken i'm charge by e. r. Rich

ranch Friday. being laid at the side

ing tribute, which is worthy of pub
lication:
Friends: Again we are met tn
consign the remains of n fellow NOR
tai to Mother Earth. He was of my
kindred and was my friend; nature
was generous to him in mental,
moral and intellectual gifts. He was
energetic, temperate and of a loving
and generous disposition and was
particularly kind tn his father and
sisters tn whom his death will he an
|irreparable loss. / had hoped that
he was destined to long life and that
his influence would have good
erect on MS trends IN this 1ntemper-
ate and immoral age; that he would
continue to relieve his aged father
of his cares and responsibilities and
provide home for him in his declin-
ing years. But he is gone. his young
life sacrificed to duty, and we are
left to mourn his loss and to say a
word of praise and drop a tear to
his memory. Death generally has a
Christening Influence: 1 hone this will
have an influence for good on us and
that we will go home better men and
better women, for what are little

sion like this. II any such exist here

great loss. And now the whitening
oak that has stood the blasts OF
many storms bids a long and n sad
farewell to the stately young tree
cut down in it's prime.
