The gold contractionists, apers OF
British policies and opponents Of
everything American and patriotic,
have found another reason for the
almost unanimous support given by
the silver senators to the Cameron
resolution recognizing the independ
ence of Cuba. The New York Her.
aid gives it thus: "The gigantic
conspiracy of silver mine owners has
not been dissolved. They know
perfectly well that if we went to wal
we should not maintain the gold
standard a week"
How unsound and unstable the
gold standard must be to totter be-
fore the first storm, how imperfect,
how unsuited to our needs is a mon
etary standard that must collapse at
the first sign of trouble! Could
there be a stronger condemnation o!
the gold standard than the naked
statement that the gold standard
would not stand up a week under
stress of a war with Spain.-The

Representative O'Malley, of Ca

Representative O'Malley, of Cas-
cade county, introduced his promised
anti-gambling law the other day.
When the gamblers who went up to
the house when it was rumored that
it was coming up heard it read they
drew long breaths of surprise, for it
is a measu calculated to take the
breath away from any gambler, who
anticipates that it may be inforced
after it is passed. 1t is much more
severe than the former law, the one
that was declared unconstitutional
by the state supreme court because
of a defect in the manner of its pass
age. The law now on the code
books made gambling a misdemean-
or only, and provided for a fine as an
alternative for Imprisonment. Mr..
O'Malley does not believe in doing
things by halves. He makes it a
felony to set up and conduct a game
or to induce others to play at the
game, or to be on the gaming side
at all. IIe makes it a misdemeanor
to play at any gambling game con-
Quoted by another, or to furnish
money for another to bet W the

gambling games are conducted the
law makes a misdemeanor, punish.

NEIHART TO THE FRONT.

Neillart like every other place
throughout the United States is a
sufferer from the gold standard pol
icy of the Cleveland administration
but feels that it can stand that pol
icy as we'll if not better than any
other portion of the United States.
There is no getting away from the
fact that something will have to be
done for silver before the world can
enjoy a return of prosperity. The
leaders of the republican party
recognize this fact in fastening to
bring about an international confer
ence OIL the silver question.
In the late campaign the gold
or sound money advocates declared
that all we wanted was confidence
and prosperity would come. Has it
come? Nearly every paper brings
news of bank failures and a prostra-
ton of business. When the tariff
question is disposed of by the new
administration what excuse will they
then offer for the continued hard
times. We think the time is fast
approaching when something will
have to be done with silver. No
xcuse will then 60 with the people
and their eyes will be opened to the
importance of the question.
The mines of Neihart on account
of their wonderful richness have been
working throughout the panic and
developing the wonderful resources
of it's mineral wealth. By leading
mining men it is admitted that Mel
hart is a wonder in rich mines and
her great output of silver ore a sur
prise to them. Five of the proper
ties working might be classed as
poor mems mines, for without the
assistance af capital they have been
developed into paying mines, and
three of them during the panic. Is
not this a record to be proud of.
Talk of gold camps they are not in
it with Neihart and no better demon
stration of this fact can be presented
than the failures in gold mining that
have come under our notice in the
last two or three years by parties
interested in Neihart mines, who in
vested their earnings in gold prop
critics. Without exception these
owners would have been better off to
have spent their money at home.
Some say that this is not the right
kind of talk during the present agi-
tation of the silver question but the
HERALD rises to assert that on &C.
count of past experiences that the
world cannot get along without sill.
yer and we believe in bearing a de-
fiant attitude toward the gold advo.
Gates and let them know that we
a stand it better than they, but in
advocating the restoration of silver
we believe it is to the best i~nteresr
of the world and argue on that line
instead of from a selfish standpoint
