President Ratchford aud IN. other

the slightest doubt but that the miners
will approve the arrangements. The
proposition does not involve arbiiia-
tion and Il provides for an immediate
settlement OF the strike.
President Raichiord said tonight
there were special reasons for the
board recommending the proposition.
In the first place IL comedies the miners
a material advance. Had a ss-cent
rate been secured he MAS confident IL
could not have been maintained Tor
more than ~ days. The proposition does
away with all the uncertainties of arr

Don't lose sight Of that projected
road along the river to Lees Creek.
Van Buren needs it, and If at al
practicable no time should be lost in
preparing for It's construction. BY the
way right here the county prisoners
could be used to good advantage; the
work being close TO town but little time
would be lost in taking them to and
from it. We believe If systematic
canvass was made quite good sum
could be raised among our business men
% be used in the construction Of such a
road, and we believe the people living
w st of here, who would be most
benefited by such a road, would be
glad TO assist in labor and otherwise IL
the project was presented to them in the
proper light. This Is another project
that could be materially advanced had
we an organized Board of Trade, and
which, we believe, would be of great
advantage to eur business community.

While it lacked in many of the thrill
ing events which are always supposed
to transpire at hold up, it was none
the less interesting to Mr.. Wallace and
one of his crew, who were in the
caboose at the time and who were the
only victims Of the highwaymen s
cupidity.
AS stated, the freight was standing
on the siding with Mr.. Wallace and one
of the crew in the caboose, when the
door was pushed open and masked
man with formidable pistol in each
hand entered and ordered hands up. =
Mr.. Wallace at first sight thought it
was some one trying TO play practical
joke on him, but, on taking a second
look, he found the barrel of a
Winchester poked through the door
from the outside and with this further
inducement he proceeded to raise his
hands up few notches higher
The robber appeared to be rather
green at the business and handled his
pistol in manner most uncomfortable
| to Mr.. Wallace. The latter informed
the deciple of Claude DuVal that they
had no intention of making any
resistance as the amount involved was
too small, when to his astonishment
the latter became SO confused as to lay
his pistol down within easy reach of
Mr. Wallace, but as he did not like the
size of the muzzle of the Winchester
looking at him from the door. he did
not make any attempt to get it.
The robber got about $3.50 and a
pistol from Mr.. Wallace and 81. 50 from
the brakeman. failing to take Mr..
Wallace's watch and overlooking a
s.. 90 bill which he had in book con
tanning train reports.
Mr.. Wallace was able to give good
description of the man in the caboose
but failed to see the one on the outside.
He thinks the party in the car was an
Indian. though he wore a mask. Mr..
Wallace thinks it was their intention
either to hold up the passenger train OF
the store and postofiice at that point
and that the arrival of the freight got

against the silver dollar in 70, the
efforts to restore silver, the serious
| blow struck by England against silver
/ in closing the Indian mints. But II
remained for Secretary Carlisle, the
senator declared, to strike the most
! fatal blow at silver IN issuing his order
that the government would redeem its
paper obligations in gold only, By
that act Secretary Carlisle struck out OF
use vast amount Of silver and drew on
the depleted world s supply Of gold and
gave the final blow TO silver. From the
effects of this low depth to which 1t has
been reduced by the characterization OF
silver binetallism must now begin Its
toilsome struggle upward.
Mr.. Chandler took up the fall OF
prices, particularly IL farm products,
resulting from silver demonetization.
The senator declared that within the
last twenty years there had been =
steady fall of prices In all classes OF
property. His own convictions that
silver denonetization was at the bottom
of this downward movement in prices
caused him to seriously doubt whether
the era of restored prosperity was near
at hand He was led to the conclusion,
he said, that prices had not yet
touched bottom.
THE sHRINKAGE IN PRICES.
This shrinkage in prices had been
most serious since 1890 The value OF
property in the United States was $65,-
600 600 900 in 1880; now it was
estimated at $40 900 900, 900, shrink
age of 20 per cent since 1890. Our
debts had not shrank, but remained an
execrable charge. Deducting them,
the value of our property was cut down
to 33 600, 600 600. Can this proceed,
asked the senator, without widespread
bankruptcy He was of the opinion
that the gradual tendency was TO leave
debtors without the power Of paying
their debts, until by gradual reyolu
ton the assets of debtors were absorbed
by creditors.
If it had not been for the fortunate
balance of trade In our favor during the
past year, he said, there would have
been a business cataelysm in this
country which would have Frustrated
all interests and produced infinite
misery in our business and domestic
affairs. II was because gaunt famine
stalked throughout India that trade was
favorable TO as, for this horror of the
orient had proved a benefit to us.
For these reasons, Mr.. Chandler
said, turning toward Mr.. Palmer (Ill. J,
who sat near, he was opposed to such
declarations for permanent gold
standard as that enuneiated by the
Indianapolis convention.
The senator took up the relative
production of the metals. He said the
experience of the last year had shown
almost providentially that the claims of
an iover production of silver were
groundless, the product of 1896 being
s215 600 900 Of gold and S215, 900, 600 of
silver-an exact balance.
AT one point Mr. Chandler caused
much amusement by addressing him
self 20 hr. Palmer. who sat across the
aisle. The New Hampshire senator
had read a=iist of standard authorities
on bimetallism. and then turning TO
Mr.. Palmer. he presented the Illinois
senator with copy of the list, saying
he felt it would be helpful to the eandi
date of the indianapolis convention.

enough. These unlawful e0nspiraeies

Mr. Chandler, the senior Republican
senator Of New Hampshire, on the 10Th
inst. made a speech on his resolution
reciting that lit is the sense of the
senate that the United States should not
permanently acquiesce in the single

the government in all its branches
should be steadily directed to secure
and maintain the use of silver as well
as gold as standard money, with the
