Would soothe my spirits darkest hour.

What DR., TaIma,ye Says OF Free
Silver.

Rev. Dr.. Talihage, who has just
returned from trip through the
South, says:
IF the silver people win, l be-
lieye there will be such a revival
in business, such booming in in
dustries which are now inactive,
and such general shaking up of
commercial interests that the 'coun-
try will be sure to prosper. l do
not say but that in few years
there will be a reaction from such
a movement, bus | believe that IN
stead of disaster and ruin follow
ing in the wake Of the silver move
ment the opposite will be the result.
| am not advocating that SIDE, of
the political question, but | do not
believe with a good many Of my
Clr'stion friends chat in the sue
cess of that movement the country
will greatly suffer, This is strong
nation. We are new engaged III a
great political campaign. There
are honest, Christian, patriotic men
on both sides and the life Of the
country and welfare Of its interests
will be a great incentive to lead
men in the right direction. have
great faith in the people Of this

Bryan's Speech.

The speech made by Mr.. Bryan
ut the Madison Square Garden, in
accepting the nomination for The
presidency, carried out what he said
some weeks previous TO his depart
ure for the East-"th&t it would be
the greatest effott of his life" Il
was o. great Effort and will be fol
lowed by great results; Some VINO
heard the speech were disappointed
because they expected him to all
his oratory instead Of dealing with
logical and plain facts, His speech
made at the Chicago convention
was Gow Of oratory and carried
that multitude in the twinkling OF
an eye. Ills speech in New York
was designed, no d0abi, to impress
the sound reasoning Of silver minds
and will do wonders for the demo
cratic party during the canvass
AS an exchange has said ut will
have more effect when IN cold print
than when delivered by.Mr. Bryan
1t was a mastery presentation OF
his views on the Chicago platform
anu, to our mind, well-nigh un-
answerable, and goes to prove that
oratory is not the only gift Of VIM.

Nevada Coal Mines.

The following from the Hawthorne
Bulletin would indicate that Nevada has
other resources than sagebrush and
bunch grass, and it is to be hoped that
a permanent vein of coal has been dis
covered, for a good vein of coal would
exceed in value a first-class gold mine:
Henry Phillips and w. W. Hensey,
experienced coal miners of Ottumw wa,
Iowa, visited the coal mines of Ingalls,
and Grosinger near Candeiaria last week
in company of W. A. Ingalls,. They took
samples of the coal and will make a ia
vorable report. Mr.. Phillips says if the
railroad company will grant certain con-
cessions his people will go ahead and de-
velop property. As the company has
always shown a disposition to make con
c~essions for local industries nc hitch is
antici pated on that score.
Messrs. Phillips and Hensey expressed
surprise that a deposit so extensive and
Of such good quality had remained so
long undeveloped.
