A premium paid for rigid investigation

The foregoing, clipped from Wall

est intimation to bankers to subscribe
to Boss Hanna's goldbug fund we have

The silver Republicans of the silver
producing states are largely in the ma
jority. 1t is a mistake to suppose they
desert their organization by supporting
Bryan 1t is mistake to suppose they
wish to ally themselves with or will be
swallowed by the Democratic or any
other political organization if they sup
port Bryan and Sewal. The silver Re
publicans in the United States Senate
have stood between Cleveland Demo-
cratic goldbugism and free silver coin
age It is a mistake to suppose they
have wi5hstood the brunt of silver's
battles to be claimed by and TO be
drawn into the Democratic fold be-
cause Bryan and Sewall are silver's
Presidential nominees. Republicans
do not support those gentlemen be-
cause they are Democrats but because
they are champions of silver. Butte

We last week made brief mention
Of the marriage of our young friend,
Thomas Harris. The bride, Miss Emma
Boundy, Of Ponsanooth, Cornwall,
England, arrived in Nampa on 11th
instant, coming across the water in the
steamship Teutonic, accompanied by
Mr.. John Blackwell, of DeLamar, who
has been visiting his former home for
several months. They we're met at
Nampa by Mr.. Harris and his sister,
Mrs. Bowden, and went to Boise where
the wedding ceremony was performed
Rev. J. w. Huston, officiating. The
dress worn was a light green silk bril-
liantine.
An informal reception was given the
bride and groom at Mr.. Bowden's resi-
dence, last Friday night, at which the
bride was the receipiant of the good
wishes of the people of DeLamar and
many handsome presents, of which the
the NUGGET secured the following list !:
Harry Bennett and John Toy, wall
clock; Eli Bandheld and Richard Kins-
man, silver cream and sugar set; Mr..
Goudge, silver cruet stand; Mr.. and
Mrs. Campbell, pair fowls and tooth
pick stand Mr.. and Mrs. Vim. Hooking,
set silver desert knives and forks; Mrs
Sothern, fat hog; VIM. Hooking, Jr..
roast of beef, large enough for twenty
people; Mr.. Ralph Gombrig, rug; R. S..
hawes, cake stand; Mr.. and Mrs. Bwo-

silver desert spoons; VIM. Hooking, Jr,,

A Matter of Contract.

There is no charge more frequently
made in the goldbug press than that
silver mon are regulators, and anxious
to bring the country into financial dis
credit. There is no charge more false
as shown by the records Of congress.
There is not a national bond outstand-
ing, not a greenback unredeemed, that
is not payable in silver or gold at the
option of the government. The act of
1869 made the national debt payable in
coin, and the coin of the United States
at that time included both silver and
gold coin. Then came the demonetiza-
ton act of 1873, followed by the Bland
Allison act of 1878, under which silver
coinage was resumed, and finally the
Matthews resolution of 1873, specific
ally declaring all government obliga-
tions payable IN silver as well as gold.
This then is the law under which all
government obligations have been is
sued. It constitutes the contract with
the bond holders. Silver men insist on
the fulfllment Of the contract; gold
men ask that the contract be set aside
and the government obligations be
made payable in one metal only.
The charge, therefore, that silver
men desire anything but a literal com
plance with the contract existing be-
tween the government and the credit
ors is as false as anything can be. The
real repudiators are those who setaside
the contract in the interest of
those who would make gold the
sole money of the world, and reduce
the people to condition of hopeless
financial servitude. Denver News.

1t is becoming really amusing to read
the reports in the Statesman of from
two to half dozen Mckinley goldbugs
getting together and deposing the mem
bers of the respective county central
committees and selecting new commit
tees from their own ranks, who are not
''traitors." A want of sufficient num-
Der of '1oyalr republicans in Owyhee
to form a committee prevented this
farce from being enacted here. But
the 'loyal" goldbugs of Owyhee, never
theless, should not overlook the fact
that Senator Shoup has been east, as
member of the national committee, and
has secured a pull on Boss Han
mas sack to be distributed in Idaho.
Messrs. Hepburn, Stewart. Morrison &
Co. do not overlook it.

INGERSOLL OUT OF LUCK.
He Finds That the Criminal Glasses Are
Ungrateful.

He Finds That the Criminal Glasses Arc
Ungrateful.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll believes
that he has become what thieves and
confidence men call "an easy mark. "
The other day he started on long lec-
turing tour with his daughter, Miss
Maud Ingersoll. He had sent two trunks
for repairs to store. On the night the
trunks were sent to his house the ex-
pressman carried one of them up stairs
and returned to find that the horse,
wagon and the solonel's other trunk had
disappeared. Later the horse aud wagon
were found, but nothing has been heard
of the trunk.
Last September Colonel Ingersoll de-
livered a lecture at Elmwood, Ills. on
the abuse Of criminals. After he had
made fine plea for criminals who wish
to reform he returned to the hotel and
found that his pocketbook containing
$3.50 had been stolen.
When he left for the west, Colonel
Ingersoll said that his views on the re-
lation of the criminal to society had
been considerably modified by personal
experience. New York World.

Cold Air on Tap.

A company has been incorporated in
New York city for the purpose of sup
plying cold air for refrigerating pur-
poses to hotels, restaurants, meatshops
and households through pipe service
similar to that employed in the distribu
ton of steam. The cold air is to be
manufactured by the anhydrous am
monia process at central plant, is piped
into mains which are laid beneath the
streets, and the house connections are
made by service pipes, which are car
ried into the refrigerator or cold storage
compartments
The degree of refrigeration is under
perfect control, and any number of
varying temperatures may be secured in
adjoining compartments. For isolated
customers in districts removed from the
pipe service the refrigerating material
is delivered in steel cylinder similar
to those in which soda water is deliver
ed to drug stores. New York World.

Using Coins For Advertising.

Kalamazoo and Muskegon merchants
are using silver dollars for advertising
purposes. They are not giving away the
dollars, but are using them as billboards.
They paste labels on the big silver cart
wheels reading: "Take me back to
Blanks store and get one dollar and five
cents worth of groceries for me-" Citi
zens are complaining that the labels
come off and stick to their pockets and
that the gum makes the money unpleas-
ant to handle. The United States dis
trict attorney was appealed to, but he
says it is not against the law to SO use
coins, but ne thought, from experience
and from all he heard, that public opin-
ion would indorse law making such q
use of the national coinage a crime.

Mrs. Stanton on the Horse Show.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was in
terviewed recently and asked to give
her opinion as to the horse show recent
ly held in New York. This is what she
said:
Il regard the horse show as demon
alizing exhibition. That society women
will deliberately gown themselves for
the purpose of being gazed at by the
public seems incredible, and yet the
horse show proves that they do. Not
only is their attitude in regard to their
own personality and privacy an incredi-
BILE one, but the horse show which they
attend is in itself demoralizing. / re-
gard it as on level with cock fight or
dog fight. The climax of shows seemed
to be reached First and lowest, we
have the cock fight. then the dog fight,
then this horse show, and finally the
exhibition Of women, with which the
horse show has become merged. But not
until we can get society women to re-
spect themselves will the horse shows
cease -

day her father called her to him.
my DEAR said he, "a man this
morning offered papa this room full Of
gold if he would sell little brother.
Now, that means gold enough to fill

for that sum, ! shall be able to buy you
