He frankly admits that he wants 9

II no possible source Of relief (from thu
low prices Of farm products) excep,
through the medium Of q dollar with

With considerable ingenuity Mr..
Boies states his reasons for favoring fret
silver. Summed up they are: That 4

which they cannot now pay, but il thu

reduced one half these debtors couli
pay of their creditors and become indie
pendent That this might be done unde,
tree silver ct 18 to is doubtless true
The question remains, Would it be JUS
and honest2
As to the honesty Of the proposition
there can be no question. It is greatly
to be regretted that some of the lowe
farmers are poor and in debt But il
that any reason why the government,
should pass law making other people
poor9 It Is certain that the Republication
Of one-half of the mortgages on low,
farms would ruin thousands whose little
savings have been loaned out by bank,
and loan companies Have they NJ
rights in the matter? When did thu
poverty Of the farmers or Of any othe1
class become AL excuse for violating tn.
law, "Thou shalt not steal?" For is il
anything else but stealing, If the gov

the property they have loaned and give,
It TO their debtors?
The question a. to the ultimate effec,

The American peoples sense Of honol
and fairness and their respect for prop

Sympathy with the poor and unfortu
nate, such as Mr.. Boies expresses In hi
letter. is noble and praiseworthy. Per
verted sympathy, which seeks to he'll
one class or set Of persons by robbin(
other people, Is immoral and danger
ously near to the vagaries Of an unbal

Indeed. Il chips were admitted free and
In unlimited quantities to the privilege

Another favorite argument Of the free
silver advocates refers to the experience
Of France and they have claimed all
over the country that France from 1908
to 1874, BY fixing legal ratio for the
coinage Of silver and gold at l5H TO y,
kept the commercial ratio between the
two metals at the Same hgure& This
inaccurate statement has been enc a.

they will find that before 1890 the dif-

Of gold and silver exceeded l6K 10 1,

Quarterly Dividends of Two Dollars a
share Certain.
The monthly circular published by =.
Houston 4 Co., metal brokers Of New
York city, says
The annual report of the Boston &
Montana company is not quite ready
yet but we can state on the authority of
an official that the production of copper
for lS95 amounted to 100000 pounds
and that they have so far reduced the
cost as to be able to lay down copper at
New York at 5,27 cents per pound. The
argentiferous character Of the ore, con-
tanning gold as we'll as silver. is factor
of great Importance in keeping down the
cost of the copper product to this re-
markably low level
The Boston and Montana has declared
dividend of g per share, payable FEB,
20 1t is understood that his is the
beginning of regular quarterly dividends
Of a like amount, AS the indications
are for higher, rather than lower, prices
for copper this year, the ability to pay
at least IS per share annually is un-
questioned, This would be equal to
about l01, per cent per annum with the
marker value Of the shares at SO We
hear that the bonded indebtedness stands
now at somewhat less han 2l,0O0,OO0. It
is believed that the new improvements
at the Great Falls works will give the
Boston " Montana capacity of about
o,OOO,NUO pounds per month, If conditions
warrant such an output
- production Of ibis amount would
be pretty close to that of the Rio Iinto,
the greatest copper mine IN Europe. The
Rio IlntO company brings TO market an
nuaiIy about $1,000 TONS of COZ per Ac-
coru.ng to eIr last report. they had a
bonded ndebtedness OF E3, 100000, bear

Dividends were declared cf As per share

The Children Are Considerably Behind
on Their Grade work,
In answer to questions from TRIBUNE
reporter, Wednesday, Prof Largent
superintendent of the public schools,
stated that, owing to the fact that
large proportion of the pupils had
been kept out of school at various times
within the last few months by their
parents, on account Of the prevalence OF
dlphtheria in the city, the classes
had been pretty we'll broken up
in their studies and were behind in their
grade work for the term. The schools
close very early this year for the long
vacation, the date being Nav % Last
year they were closed May 81 and this
year before June g. II it is possible to
extend the school term another month
Prof Largent thinks it would result in
the children finishing the grade
work for the term in about as
good shape as thew would have
done bad not the diphthera scare
worked such disorder in the classes
This is figuring on regular attend-nc,
hereafter. AS to the probability of sucf
action by the school beard or it's advisa
bility on the score Of finances, the pre-.
fessor declined to express any opinion
as he had not consulted with the schOC
board on the matter or heard any cy.
preston Of opinion by any of the board
If it we're possible and the condition,
favorable, he thought it would be WY
desirable plan.
In case the school closes on May 90, aF
at present contemplated, quite ntile of
the work for the several grades will have
to be omitted this term, and an effort
made to make it up as an addition TO the
next terms work in the different Grade

today, when there we're between 80 and

blown out Ed Welsh. who was just at
the mouth Of the tunnel when the eX

Timbers TWO feet square were blown into
the G and river. 400 feet away. 1t is al
most certain all the men iu the mine
perisbed Smoke is rushing from the
shaft in dense black clouds which pre-
vents entrance to the mine. Fans were
the only means of supplying air to the
wOrkmen, and as these are completely de-
molished, the last hope of any one be
ing found alive is cut IF. Superintend-
cnt Paul Blount, Of the Consolidated
closed down his mine and sent his men
to the rescue, but they could do nothing
on account Of the escaping smoke and
gas They procured wet sponges and
will make an effort to reach the interior.
The scene at the mine is one of widest
confusion. Wives and children of the
victims are running to and fro, tearing
their hair and rending the air in the
deep anguish which such a calamity
brings.
The construction Of a temporary fan
house WAS commenced at once and the
work Of pumping fresh air into the mine
soon begun. 1t is hardly possible that
any Of the miners are alive. but the ne
will enable the workers to search for
them. The only man who got out of the
mines at the time ( the explosion was
Edward Welsh, who Was near the
mouth Of the tunnel, and his skull was
fractured, his arm broken, and his face
badly cut and burned, and all the
hair burned from his head lie was
breathing when found. but expired
shortly after without showing conscious
