AN IMPORTANT TRANSACTION.
Crooks and Peyton Exchange Nor
thern Light and Mt. Nebo Stock.

thern Light and Mt. Nebo Stock.
An exchange was consummated yes
.erday whereby E. E. Crooks traded
his stock in the Mount Nebo Irrigation
company to Gill S. Peyton for the lat
ers interest in the Northern Light
Mining company.
The exchange was made on an even
basis and was satisfactory to both gen.
tlemen. especially so to Mr.. Crooks
who is more than enthusiastic over the
outlook of the Northern Light mine;
while, as for Mr. Peyton, who was
one of the promoters of the Mount
Neho enterprise, he is coEgratulating
himself over the success of the pro-
ject. SO it is now attracting more than
usual attention among home-seekers
and investors.
Mr.. Peyton. as president of the
Northern Light Mining company, sent
in his resignation yesterday morning,
ard in the afternoon the board of
directors met and made a change in
the official directory. putting +. II.
Airs in as president and Z. E. Crooks
as vice president, while DR.. E. d.
Woodruff was retained as secretary
and treasurer.
The outlook for the Northern Light
mine is Of a most encouraging nature.
and ii is limited that its stockholders
will be getting ice cream and strawber
ries before the beginning of another
year, as there are good bodies o.. high
Srade ore blocked out in the mine, and
it is the intention of the directory TO
begin ore shipments at no distant date.
Before doing this the company will
purchase several good, strong teams,
new wagons and harness, and in every
way it is proposed to carry on the bust
ness in an up-to-date manner; as it is
not intended to manipulate this prop
erty on a prospect basis.
AS soon as II is satisfactorily deter
mined which is the best method and
process for the treatment of the i'm
mense bodies of low gold ore in this
mine, mill will be put up. when it is
expected that dividends will be regular
and Of goodly size.
tBuckskin' Clark who for Sc many
years has been identified as part owner
in, the Northern Light, says that the
mine is far richer than he ever gave
II out TO be. as he had good reasons
for keeping its real worth a secret, but
he now has no hesitancy in saying
that ii is one of the gres test proper

J. D. Kendall, superintendent of the
Centennial Eureka mine. who is just
in from Eureka, most emphatically de-
MES the statement made in the senate
last week that the Centennial Eureka
Mining company maintained a store, of
which its men were compelled to trade;
and he also states that as to the mine
boarding house, that the company does
not compel married men or men of
family to board there. the rule apply
ing to single men only; and that as the
mine is situated quite a distance from
the town of Eureka, the boarding house
is more of a convenience than other
wise. as a walk up the hin in the morn
ing is quite strain even en- the most
robust miner. He therefore regards the
statements referred to as misleading.
and calculated to injure the good re-
pute of the company.

rectors of the New York Mining ex-
change last night Each member of
that board in turn resigned. There
seemed to be the elements of storm
brewing when Mr.. Drew rose to re-
quest permission to be the first to ten
der his resignation. However, he quiet
ed down when President Porter re-
minded him that as president he had
the first call. This right being con-
coded Mr. Porter resigned and at once
left the hall. One by one the old board
resigned This done they elected a

Farmers and Free Coinage.

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN: - AS the
farmer seems to be one OF the classes
of people to be benefited by the free
coinage OF silver, will some silverite
please explain what benefit it will be
to the farmer who has a mortgage
debt to pay.
Granted that under the popocratic
administration he will be able to
pay off his debt at so cents on the
dollar, will the party who holds the
mortgage be willing to wait for the
adoption of a law that will deprive
him of half his debt?
On the contrary, as soon as the
election OF Bryan is announced,
(Which God forbid, will not pay
ment Of the mortgage be demanded
and the farmer be obliged to pay or
lose his farm? Our courts only allow
one years redemption at the most
and free coinage laws could not pos
sibly be passed in time to give any
relief.
If the farmer or anyone else who
owes money, payable on demand or
short time, knows where his head is
level, he will not cast his votes for
measures which are sure to depre-
ciate the value of the dollars which
have been loaned to him, and under
fear OF that depreciation by the
lender, cause demand to be made
upon HIM at time when he cannot
meet it. BANKER.

Ex.rlinisters Phelps Letter.

Ex-Minister Phelps Of Burlington
has written a long letter to Editor
Benedict of the Free Press in which
he gives his reasons for voting the
republican ticket this year. 1t is the
strongest document of this great
campaign and we very much regret
that we cannot print it in full. In
his closing paragraph Judge Phelps
touches the most vital point for Yer
monters. Here is the close of his
letter.
The amonnt OF the majority at the
September election in Vermont may
be of much significance. 1t may in
spire or may discourage those who
in other fields are bearing the burden
and heat of the fight for the right. |
wish my vote, since can contribute
nothing else, to be so cast as to
count for the most it can wherever it
is counted. And if my voice, which
does not trouble them often and will
not trouble them long, should reach
any OF those with whom I have
stood for so many years i'll exertions
that we have right to claim were
disinterested because in our own
state they were always hopeless,
should say to them Stand as you
have always stood for what you
believe to be right and for the best
interests OF your country, Let nc
man cajole you out OF the right o
consciousness or lead you to blot &
record for your children's best III
heritance."

The Gold Standard.

In every age there is some metal
dominant in the industry of the
world which forces it's way with
elemental strength in the face of any
public regulation, and in our day
that metal is gold" This opinion
from the report of commission of
experts in 1879 is worth noting at
this time, when the financial welfare
of the country is threatened by
Missionaries. The truth is, the guam
tity of gold now mined annually in
the world is quite sufficient to meet
all demands upon it as an instru-
ment of exchange; the amount for
the seven years just past aggregating
81, $50, 100000, a sum equal to one
fourth of the worlds entire stock oil
gold at the present time and one
half the worlds stock of silver rated
at its bullion value.

A Bit of History.

A scrap from political experience,
one hundred and fifty years ago, will
bear reciting in the same breath with
some theories of Missionaries the
present year. Onestate matured her
currency till lone pound sterling
would buy eleven pounds of paper
money and then repudiated all but
a tenth of it. All those who dared
to stand by honest money were out
numbered and outvoted. "Thev
were prey to an active speCulating
class and a shftIess debtor class who
controlled legislation from year to
year" In this year of grace it will
be in order for the American people
to stamp out this sort of thing, again
brought to life, once and for ALL

The Attitude of the Churches.

This article, reprinted from the
Brattleboro Phenix, reviews the at
titude of the Vermont churches
toward the prohibitory law. The
author, Rev. A. A. Smith, now Of
East Barre, has had long experience
in the matter Of which he writes.
THERE'S not one ofthe great religious
denominations of America that has
not declared by resolutions at its
annual conventions, its hostility to
every form of liquor traffic. thigh
sounding temperance resolutions
would have been sufficient to ami
hilate the rum traffic and introduce
the millennium of temperance, it
would have been done years ago.
The simple fact is, that there is no
church or religious denomination of
our land whose attitude on the tenn.
perance question is entirely consis-
tant with its public utterances ex.
pressed at its great religious gather
ings. So far as resolutions could do
so, the leading denominations of the
state have all declared not only in
favor of temperance, but also in
favor of prohibition, They are in
favor Of the law as a statute provi-
sion convenient to have in case hotel
keeper, druggist or town agent sells
carelessly or immoderately: but SO
long as they sell with what is called
"discretion," the majority of the
churches care but little. Not long
since at convention of one of the st
bodies of Christian people, resolu
ton was introduced and passet
unanimously which said, "We believe
in a careful, firm, and impartial en-
forcement Of our prohibitory law
and we deplore the sentiment which
in some parts of the state seems tc
be gathering strength in favor o
license" And yet how few OF tn
churches composing that body which
passed without one dissenting voic
this resolution will do anything tt
enforce the law or do any really ag
gressive temperance work during tn
year to come?
Now, | do not say that there is nj
value whatever to the temperate
resolutions passed from time to tim
by the churches of our state. Til
fact that they are passed withou
dissent shows what their secret cor
nections are and they no doubt hav
an educating influence upon society
but the value of such resolution
would be greatly increased if it wa
generally expected that the churche
, would put them in practice. Man
man votes in the annual CONVEX
ton of his church for an impartif
: enforcement of the law, who woul
t be the first to kick against its impa
tial enforcement, should it be a
: tempted on some friend or fello'
' church member of his in his ow
: neighborhood. Not long since
} leading member of one of our churcht
} spoke publicly in favor of an impa
| tial enforcement Of the law and {
e the same time he had the cheek t
n advocate method of dealing wit
the liquor traffic in one part of tt
