Americans. II Uncle Sam ever goes
. after any OF these naughty children that
are seeking TO plague him, they will
wish that they had lelt the old man
severely alone.-Inter Ocean.
Mark Hanna is contemplating coal
I. mining enterprise in China. He will
not be likely to have much trouble
with his workmen there, but he might
: find some stiff-necked mandarins who
: would not hesitate TO relieve him Of
his head II his operations did not suit
them.-Idaho Statesman.
A few days ago very fair sample Of
bituminous coal was brought into town
and created some little excitement. II
was found on the reservation and yester-
day a party Of our citizens went ont to
prospect the deposit. II is hoped they
will be successful. not only for their
own sake, but because such discovery
would be of incalculable benefit to the
entire country.-Nezperce News.
Some of the eastern gold standard
newspapers are boasting that the in
creased production OF gold will lower
the price OF that metal. The surest way
to bring down the price Of gold is to de-
Prive it OF its monopoly as money of
redemption by opening our mints to the
free and unlimited coinage OF beth gold
and silver and allowing both metals to
circulate side by side as they did for so
years and as the constitution Of the
United State requires.-Grangevil

The silver republican national com.
mittes has advised against any separate
silver ticket in Ohio this year. In
telegram to John E. Owens, secretary Of
Ohio Valley Bimetallic League, which
was sent yesterday. Chairman ToWne
said that such a movement would de-
stroy all chances of defeating Hanna
and would ruin the reputation OF SILVER
men as devoted to the cause. ''The
national reorganization" said Chairman
Towne, land all leading silver Iepubli-
cans here absolutely opposed to such a
program."-Double Standard.
Over $4,000 was taken out of a little
pocket" last week-net in Klondyke,
but near Sonora, Toulumne county, Cal
ifornia. There is no rush" there. 1t
is too close by; it is too steady and regu-
lar a circumstance: it is too easily
reached; the climate is too fine; the
fruit too luscious; the air too balmy; the
sky too serene. Were that $4,000 to
have been taken out in two and one half
days 1900 miles away in frozen sw amp
in the shadow of night and at the north
pole, amid snow and ice and semi star
walton, there might be a rush
Wardner News.
1t was highly amusing to read in Tues
days Boise Statesman howl OF anguish
over the Klondyke tariff, as erected by
the Canadian government. Miners
have to pay duty on the supplies they
take in and n tax on the gold they take
out. This makes the Statesman writhe
and forget all its preaching on the
beauties OF high tariff. When Gitteau
was confined awaiting trial, an attempt
was made to kill him. When Gitteau
appeared in court, he fairly raved at the
attempt on his own life, when he was
himself on trial for the murder OF Presi-
dent Garield.-Weiser Signal.
The Willard Progress bewails the
growth of blackgusrdism in politics
The Progress is grieving without cause.
Political blackguardism is not growing;
it is declining. Washington was abused
like a pickpOcket. He was charged
with ENLIGHTENMENT. He was denounced
as tyrant and generally cussed. JEFF
ferson was blaekguarded most shame
fully. Jackson came very near to being
impeached. Then think OF the abuse
that was heaped on Blaine during his
campaign against Cleveland. II our
contemporary will read political history
it will find that politics is becoming
refined and elegant to what it used to
be, but it is several thousand removes
from angelicism yet.-Malad Enter
prise.
The injunct ions OF the United States
courts have been issued so frequently
OF late that they are losing their terrors
to the common people OF this country.
In Kansas the state officials turn up
their noses at the edict Of the federal
judge, and proceed as though nobody
with more authority than Mrs. Lease
had spoken. In West Virginia the
striking miners use the injunction pa
pers to light their pipes with, and 20
on urging the working miners to strike.
1t may be that dire punishment will be
the fate Of these men who defy the
United States laws, but it certainly
demonstrates that a very serious con-
dition Of affairs exists in this country
when men 90 openly and calmly defy
the courts MISUNDERSTANDING Chron-
icle.
