PROCLAMATION.

| With the advance of civilization the
attention of thoughtful men and wo-
men is being directed more and more
to the effects of surrounding inhu-
ences. The refinement and social sta
tus of community, town or city, may
be judged with correctness by the roads,
streets, homes, churches, aud school
houses which the people have con-
structed. Nothing adds more to their
adornment than the planting of trees,
and, i'll view of encouraging such eff
forts to make the country more attract
i've, the Legislatures of most, if not all,
of the States have wisely named a day
to be devoted to that purpose.
In line with the legislation enacted
by the State Of idaho relating to that
subject, hereby proclaim Friday, the
9Th day of May, a legal holiday, and
recommend that the provisions enacted
by the first session of the idaho Legis-
lature, known as San Act to encourage
arbor culture" be strictly complied
with, and suggest that the children of
our public schools and colleges, be as
sembled on that occasion and allowed
to assist in the planting of trees for the
decoration Of their school grounds.
Perhaps, in after years, weighted, it
may be, with the cares of manhood or
womanhood, when many of those who
viii participate in the exercises of the
coming occasion will have scattered out
upon the world and lost themselves in
its busy turmoil, some may return and
with their former school mates who re-
main will enjoy seat under the UNI
brageous branches OF the trees which
their childish hands assisted in plant
ing. Let us, therefore, with view of
intoxicating in the minds of our chill
dren O love for home and its surround
ings, and for the purpose of adding to
the comfort of those who will come
after US, devote the day named to the
occupation of tree planting; and such
other exercises as those in charge of
our public schools may deem proper.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of Idaho this 11th day of
(SEAL) April, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred
and ninety six.

They WIN Fu.e.

The Democrats and Populists ofCan-
yon county have concluded to join for
ces in county matters at least. A joint
meeting was held in Caldwell on the
Sth inst, and resolution to that effect
was passed unanimously. The Cald-
well Record DEM commenting on their
action says:
The action of the Canyon county
democratic central committee, and a
like committee of populists, as outlined.
in the report of their proceedings else
where in this issue, foreshadows an i'm
portant event in the parties history as
well as for the people generally. While
no general platform or basis of union
of forces was promulgated, it is gen
orally understood that the joint COM
mittee found common ground on the
currency question and state affairs, i.
g., free coinage of silver and state ad-
ministration in the interest of the tax
payers, but deferred the exact wording
to the nominating conventions. The
meetings were both largely attended
by committeeman and representative
laymen and their action leaves no room
for doubt but that the union is popular
to degree approaching unanimity
At the last general election in this
county the voting strength of the re-
spective parties as expressed in their
vote for governor was Republican,
485; populist, 475; democratic, 362; pro-
30; making the union for
ces majority of 322 over all, and 352
over the republicans.

In tho Shadow of Palaces.

A girl, eighteen years old and of
sound mind, was called as witness
before a coroner in New York, recently,
to testify in regard, to the death of her
grandmother, who was killed by falling
from window The examination de-
veloped the fact that she had never
seen bible and did not know what it
was; did not know what street she lived
on, or tho name Of a single street in
New York; did not know her own name
or that Of her mother. Yet she had no
mental arrangement, but was simply
ignorant because no effort had been
made toward her mental development.
1t was simply the ignorance caused by
her environments. That girl lives with
in a few blocks of where the President
of the United States stood when, in an
address before Missionary Society, he
slandered the western states and terri
tories. Just fancy this self sufficient
mugwump standing before an intelh-
gent audience and talking of the neces-
sity of sending missionaries into Mon
tana, Utah or Idaho, when such con-
dition could exist almost within sound
of his voice. The truth is that there is
greater average of intelligence,
less illiteracy and great deal more pa
triotism on "our distant western from
tier" and what Cleveland chooses to
call corrupt and unsafe territories and
undesirable states" than his narrow
mind will ever comprehend.

The talented editor of the Weiser
Signal is publishing an essay on "The
True Wealth of the State" the first
portion of which appeared in last
weeks issue of that brilliant paper.
The purport of the paper is to prove
that properly balanced brains do more
to make state great than the most fa-
vorable conditions in resources, the
most salubrious climate and all the
combined advantages the most favored
portion of the world can boast. The
essay is too good and too long to be
printed as an editorial in local paper,
and should have been reserved for pub
location in some one of the many wide
ly circulated magazines.

A few weeks ago the Statesman start
ted straw-voting contest to determine
who the republican party's choice
would be for President. The contest
closed last Sunday and, strange to say,
Mckinley, pronounced goldbug, got
very nearly as many votes as Senator
Cameron a strong silver advocate. Of
course it was only straw vote, but
straws show which way the wind blows.
Just now the Statesman, Pocatello
Tribune and other republican papers
in the state, are trying to tell how it
happened that the republican party
got showed under in their municipal
election in Pocatello, last week. It
was because the party fell under the
domination of a secret political society
that was offensive to the better class Of
voters, irrespective of party, and these
same papers will be telling, next Nov
ember, how they lost the state, if they
allow themselves to be humbugged by
the eastern goldbugs. The movement
has started. Canyon county democrats
and populists have made fusion and
will doubtless be followed by others,
and if the republicans expect to stand
a ghost of show they will have to
drop their secret political societies and
goldbug candidates.

The NUGGET now has an opportunity,
as we presume all other papers in the
country have, to have all its thinking
upon the financial question done by a
Wall street syndicate Of paid writer's.
1t is in receipt of circular, dated from
80 William street, New York, issued
by the reform club, offering to.supply
it, gratis, with ready prints. patent in
nards, boiler plate or manuscript, un-
til November. Thanks | In our own
feeble way we viii try to work our own
pen, shears and paste pot. But just
think what efforts the goldbugs are
making and how many fools they will
find who will aid them in promulgating
their pernicious doctrines Think Of
the powerful influences of their money
and ask yourself what hope there is for
a country ruled in their selfish interest.
Think that there is scarcely daily pa
per east of the Mississippi which they
do not own or control What cares
this Reform Club, which is busying it
self preparing literature for the coun-
try press, for the toilers and producers
of the land? And yet they will desc
crate the name of patriotism, destroy
the prosperity of the country, fill our
asylums and prisons and work untold
ruin upon the country to accomplish
their own selfish purposes. VIII never
the toilers and producers begin to think
for themselves? VIII they always con-
tinue to have their opinions ready
made for them? God help the country
if the bankers are left to do the think
ing for the people

The Crow win be Eaten.

The Caldwell Tribune is evidently
training it's esophagus and stomach SO
as to be prepared to swallow the st.
Louis platform, when promulgated,
even though it bristle with goldbug
doctrines and Wall Street domination.
Editor Davis began, weeks ago, TO init
mate that his ideas on the financial
question were vague and unsettled; and
now, in that able and classic style
of his, for which all Idaho journalists
admire and envy him, he is advocating
fealty to party, even if lbs platforms do
not accord with our convictions of what
is best for the country. He is trying
to make protection all important and
bury the silver issue. Much as we adj
mire and esteem him, we caunot wish
him luck in this direction.

The changes found necessary in the
machinery of the new cyanide-electric
plant are still delaying the continuous
working of the concern by the-DeLa-
mar Company The results of the pro-
cess have proven all that has been
claimed for it, and it is not too much
to say that revolution in the methods
of working the ores of this and other
camps, producing similar character
of ores has been inaugurated here. The
pan amalgamation process promises to
soon become thing of the past, to be
superseded by cheaper and more eff
fective process OF saving higher per
centage of values. It is, possibly, too
early to make such prediction, but
the knowing ones now claim to see ex-
haustless quantities of ore here made
valuable by this new process and the
cheaper method. DeLamar mountain
alone is known to contain almost mex
haustible quantities of ores which ex-
coed in value those of some of the most
vaunted camps of the world. Florida
mountain is in a similar condition. The
success of the new cyanide-electric
process assures us for each of these
mountains a long lease of prosperity.

Two enterprising gentlemen at Soda

The Spokesman Review suggests that
the republicans of Idaho send Dubois,
Wilson, Mcconnell, Shoup, Sweet and
Hepburn as representatives to the Ma

good ticket. 1t would emphasize the
silver sentiment of the State and it
would be republican team that would
fill the ranks with enthusiasm that
would last through the campaign.

DR.. r. l.. Newsom dropped into our
Office the other day and laid upon our
desk a slip of paper with the following
words written on it. He remarked,
That is the name of your party

"Sir, the man who holds up 10 oppro-
brium such men as constituted the
Chicago Convention, who denounces
them as cranks, Anarchists or Socialists,
or who in any respect impugnes their
intelligence or patriotism, does himself
most rank injustice il he be not knave,
slanderer or fool. That convention
did indeed represent the "masses" OF the
people-the great industrial and pro-
ducing masses of the people. 1t repre-
sented the men who plow and plant, who
fatten herds, who toll in shops, who fell
forests and delve in mines. But are
these to be regarded with contumely and
addressed in terms OF contempt? Why,
sir, these are the men who feed and
clothe the nation; whose products make
up the sum OF our exports, who produce
the wealth of the Republic, who bear
the heaviest burdens in time of peace,
who are ready always to give their life
blood for their country's flag; in short,
these are the men whose sturdy arms
and faithful hands upheld the stupen-
dous fabric OF our civilization. They
are the bravest and the tenderest, the
truest and the best. These are the men
who spoke at Chicago in tones that rang
out clear and high and strong. They
were in earnest and did not mean TO be
misunderstood. 1t was the voice OF true
Democracy. 1t was also the voice OF
deep conviction, spoken without fear.
They demanded what they wanted, and
they mean 10 have it. They did not go
TO Wall street for their principles, nor
over the sea for their inspiration. Their
principles were inherited from the faith.
ers and their inspiration sprang from an
unconquerable love OF country and of
home"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way TO cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
