Mr.. c. G. Conn, Democratic ex-con-

characterized the Chicago convention
as "a chaotic mass OF calamitized dele
gates" and makes the following point
in reference to the claim that free sill
YER at 16 to is the money of the con-
stitution 1.-The trainers of the consti-
tuition might as well have stipulated
that we should always sleep on feath-
.rs or wear powdered wigs with pig
tail queues. Our money is always the
kind specified by the institution, and
ITS gold, silver and paper dollars are as
good as gold wherever they circulate.
II has long since been demonstrated
impossible to fix by legislation the
price of any marketable commodity
with an unknown and unlimited pro-
iuction, and until this government can
restrict the output of both gold
and silver to certain proportionate
quantities, in order to regulate their
commercial value, there is no way to
establish a stable parity between these
metals of statute"

Daniel Webster's prophetic words
were these: 1.-THE very man, of all
others, who has the deepest interest in
sound currency, and who suffers most
by mischievous legislation in money
matters, is the man who earns his
daily bread by his daily toll. His pro-
perry Is in his hands. His reliance,
his fund, his productive freehold, his
all, is his labor. Whether he work on
his own small capital or another's, his
| living is still earned by his industry,
and when the money of the country
becomes deprecated and debased,
whether 1T be adulterated coin or paper
without credit, that industry is robbed
Of its reward. He then labors for a
country whose laws cheat him out Of
his bread. | would say to every owner
OF every quarter section OF land in the
west, | would say to every man In the
east, who follows his own pillow, and to
every mechanic, artisan and laborer of
every city in the country would say
to every man, everywhere, who wishes
by honest means to gain an honest liv-
ing, ''beware of wolves in sleeps
clothing" Whoever attempts, under
whatever popular cry, to shake the
stability Of the public currency stabs
your interests and your happiness to
the heart"

Palmer's Poor Memory.

Gen. Palmer's memory se%ms to be-
failing, which is hardly surprising, con
sidering his years and other circum-
stances. In attempting to explain the
free silver editorials that appeared in
his paper, the State Register, in 1878,
he remarks: sour editorials were not
for free silver; we had no silver ques-
ton; it was coin, both gold and silver.
We were not advocating free silver,
simply fighting greenbacks," If SEN
ator Palmer can find nothing more
plausible to say than that there was
no silver question in 1878, he win do
well to follow Mr.. McKinley's example
and let MI. Hanna do his talking. IT
was in 1878 that the Bland-Allison sill
yer bill became a law. Mr.. BANDS bill
for the free coinage of silver passed the
house in 1877, the whole country echoed
with the din of debate, and in 1873 the
compromise for the coinage of
100000 silver dollars a month passed
both houses over the veto of President
Hayes. Senator Palmer may not re.
member now what his opinions were IN
1878, but it is certain that If he talked
silver then, he did not do it under the
impression that silver meant goId.-N

MAMMOTH Of the MOUNTAINS.
Vertebra Of ; Prehistoric Monster Forty
Four lnches an pIrcumferenoe.

Vertebra OF = Prehistoric Monster Forty
Four Inches In Clrcumferencs.
The great Cripple Creek district, dur
ing its history Of but a few years, has
been prolific in surprises to the delivers
after hidden wealth. The district seems
to be able to produce anything frol
a nugget of gold to the petrifed remain
of the mastodon. The discovery made
by a party of p~rospectors the other day
on Thirty-nine Mile mountain will GER
tainly prove most interesting to scien-
lists, and the find win prove to be as
great a curiosity as is the nerve Of the
heads of certain OF our municipal de
partments. Woolly elephants, the
megatherium and other mastodons,
relics of a prehistoric age, are rather
out of our line, but we can produce them
if demand should arise. Boun6less are
the resources of the great gold camp,
and if the world doesn't see what il
wants here, all it has to do is simply to
ask for it.
A few days since a party, consisting Of
C. s. Witherspoon, j. w. McBeth, w.
White and T. Burge, wa prospecting
upon the northwestern slope of Thirty
nine Mile mountain. Wishing to find
water to drink, Witherspoon started up
a shallow gulch running up the side OF
the mountain. The eye of the prospec-
tor, long trained by experiences to the
closest of observation Of the earth over
which he passed, was caught by what
appeared to be an unusually large bone.
Mr.. Witherspoon at once cleared the
debris from his find, and to his great
amazement discovered that he had I'M
earthed a section Of the vertebra OF
some gigantic animal, far exceeding in
size anything which to-day treads the
surface of the earth.
The party at once began a series Of ex-
p~lorations, and was rewarded by turn
ing up a large portion Of the remains
of the prehistoric monster. At the time
when d. S. Hall left the party 90 sections
Of vertebra had been uncovered. When
it is stated that one Of these sections Of
backbone measured A inches in cur
cumference, the hugeness Of the mas
todon is obvious. One thigh bone was
unearthed which measured in length
40 inches and 40 inches in circumfer-
ence at the hook joint. One Of tbs
bones Of the lower foreleg was 80 niche.
in length, while the torsal point was
SO inches in circumference. One sec
tion Of rib was found to be 80 inches il
length and 10 inches in circumference.
The discoveries will continue thu
search until all that remains Of TIL
gigantic fossil has been brought Il
light. They expect to it to b
mounted, when it will be sent to eithe.
a state or national museum. II is prob
able that this relic Of bygone ages vii
be exhibited to the Cripple Creek pub
lie previous to its consignment to ii
ultimate resting place in M Of the edu
c~ational Northumberland Times.
