n Good SNIFF. Work.

We are in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from P. J. Cirkel,
General Manager of the Idaho
Yellow Jacket Gold Mining Co.,
dated at Yellow Jacket, May 19,
1896. 1t reads
DEAR SIR:-In your issue of
April II, l notice the statement
''nine hours is considered a night
shift in all mines, but this com
pany would have the miners
work a ten hour shift, is asking
too much"
There is absolutely no founda-
tion for the above statement.
Nine hours for night shift has
been the rule and no change was
demanded. All men in. the Com
pany's employment were getting
$500 and upwards per day. The
''notice" which you have publish
ed correctly, covers the entire
ground. The Company's only
requirement being a good shift S
work.
If you will kindly publish the
facts | will be under obligations.
Yours very truly,
p. J. CIRKEL.
This is the first time we ever
knew that Mr.. Cirkel ever read
the MESSENGER. No such arti-
Gle appeared in the issue of the
MESSENGER of April II. Mr..
Cirkel does not give the cause
of the strike in the above letter,
but says 1.-The Company's only
requirement being a good shifts
work" We are at loss to know
what is meant by a good shifts
work" Some people might con-
slider a ''good shifts work. only
s hours, while others might
claim 10 hours comprised "a
good shifts work" We are only
too glad to publish facts if we
know them, but we believe there
was some difficulty or else the
Union would not have ordered a
strike, but from the above letter
person would be led to believe
that all was right on Mr.. Cirk-
els side. The MESSENGER has
no fight to make in this matter,
and does not aim to do either
side an injustice, but only pub
lished what appeared to be from
reliable source, and if we are in
error we will be pleased to pub
lish facts"

THE PATTISON BOOM.
Pennsylvania DemocratsThink Their
FavOrite a Sure Winner.

Allentown. Pa. April 80. = Robert
Emery Pattison was yesterday unani-
mously and enthusiastically endorsed as
the choice OF the Democracy OF Pennsyl-
vania for the presidential nomination at
Chicago. The sound money gold stan
dard platform pledges the Ga delegates
chosen yesterday TO earnestly support
Mr.. Pattison. Despite the apparent
hopelessness of their cause. the platform
adopted and speeches uttered by the
Democrats showed no indications of de-
spair.
The spirit Of harmony prevailed TO a
greater degree than for several years.
and everybody seemed to think that the
name OF Pattison will work wonders In
the state this fall If his candidacy for
the presidential nomination is endorsed
ut Chicago.
Chairman James OF the resolutions
committee read the platform as agreed
upon, and IL was adopted. 1t roundly
berates the Republican party for its
failures. and has the following 10 say
upon the financial question:
We demand a repeal of all laws author
fling the issue or reissue OF greenbacks
and treasury notes of doubtful consti-
tutionality, originally issued under the
plea OF military necessity and under
pledge of early withdrawal. they are
constant menace Of financial disaster
and national dishonor. They should
have no place in the currency of the
country. We believe that the federal
government should be entirely divorced
from the business OF banking, and that
the congress should enact such legisla-
ton as will give TO the country bank
ing currency ample In volume for the
needs OF business absolutely secure un-
der every contingency, and at all times
redeemable in gold. We are in favor of
a firm, unvarying maintenance of the
gold standard. While we favor the most
liberal use of silver CONSISTENT with tn.
enforcement of a gold standard, we are
absolutely opposed to the free coinage
of silver and to the compulsory purchase
OF silver bullion by the government.
