Detroit, April 7.-Governor Pingree
issued an address TO the citizens of Mich

Prairie North OF Douglas.

was seen today and told of the finding
Of poor Ed Smith. about 81 miles north

ed Smith was an old timer of the
northern par, OF the state, where for a
number of years he has lived on a ranch
on the La Prele, and reared a family Of
four children. On Monday morning he
started out from his ranch with a load
Of hay for Luke Voorhees,, to be taken to
the Brown springs. About 81 miles
north OF Douglas Mr.. Smith became i'll
and overcome by the terrible blizzard
and remained on the wagon on the plains
from Monday until Saturday at 10 at
which time Mr.. Irvine, who was crossing
the country IN horseback. ran across the
poor unfortunate, who could hardly
speak. One OF his horses was frozen to
death and the other n was not found,
as he had been turned loose.
The man had some food, but was too
i'll TO eat. Mr.. Irvine placed him in the
saddle and led the animal as quickly as
possible to the nearest place, Fort Fet-
terman, thinking that his life could pos
sibly be saved, but the man was too far
gone and died at Z o'clock Sunday
morning.
Ed Smith was well known throughout
the state, and has many friends. he
leaves a wife and four children, who
have the sympathy of all in the sad
death OF a husband and father.-Sun-

before Judge Wofford he will make no
defense, but will throw himself on the
mercy Of the court. The penalty is from
Two 10 five years in the penitenLiary for
each separate embeZZlement over 50 in
amount. It is expected that there vii;
be only one coun, in the indictment re-
turned against the defaulting cashier.
: The arrest OF Aldrich was determined
upon today after his friends had earn
estly endeavored to save him from the
penitenLiary by affecting n compromise
with the American Surety company,
which is bondsmen for Aldrich for $75,-
900. The company was willing to re-
lieve Aldrich from the ignominy of
wearing stripes if his friends would
raise the o of his shortage, but
the amount of his shortage was so great
that the task of raising the money was
reluctantly abandoned this morning.
Aldrich had charge OF all the books,
and it seems that ii has been his meth
Cd to steal by simply failing TO enter
certain cash receipts. Comptroller Ford,
who was supposed to check up Aldrich's
account at regular intervals, is unable
TO tell why he did not discover years
ago that the company was being robbed.
Aldrich was one of The best-known and
most popular man about town. He
gambled moderately. and he loved
champagne, fine dinners and society
which was O high for him to keep
pace with. His salary was $4,000 a year,
which, with commissions from insur-
ance companies which held risks on
Memphis employees, made his income
about 5000 a year. He lived at the rate
Of about $4,000 a year, and the differ
ence came from the Memphis railroad.
He gave expensive receptions al his home
on Penn street, and was extravagant in
his private expenses. He was a member
OF the Country club and of the Kansas
City club. To satisfy his social cravings
he stole for years. not knowing what
day the exposure would come. He is 40
years old. Aldrich's home is mortgage
ed for all il is worth, and he is penni-

Regarding the present slump in silver it would seem as though forces Tn the worlds economy were at work that mili- tate against implicit dependence on past conditions. For hundred years it had been, till the past six months, noticed that wheat and silver rose and fell to gether. Now while the metal drops the grain advances in price; from time i'm memorial China was a purchaser-the Orient an absorbent of silver; now is presented for the first time in human history the spectacle of China being a seller of silver instead of buyer; Just what effect these things will have on the party aspect of political affairs in thi- county is question which it is neither the province nor the purpose of this journal to discuss. Existing com mercial conditions are memorable in showing that in the case of silver it is not so much a question of overproduction as want of consumption.
 1.-The case with silver and gold in the last thirty five years has been that the production of both has increased in vol ume, and the production in the case of each has been at less expense in hours of mans toll. The ratio of increase has been larger in the case of silver than in that of gold, and the ratio of decrease in the cost of mining silver has been less than in the cost of mining gold. At the same time the demand for gold has not been greatly disturbed, while that for silver is much less than used to be the case. At the beginning of the period under survey all the hints of the world, except that of England, were open to the coinage of silver. Now the hints of nearly all civilized nations are closed to the coinage of this metal except in linn ited amounts and on government ac count. With gold it is different. In spite of the increased output and cheap. CT cost of production, the demand has greatly increased. All the great com. mercial nations of the world, both on the part of their governments and of private persons, have been greatly increasing their holdings of gold Nations like Austria and Russia, where gold was al. most unknown, have been accumulating this metal and are still doing so."
 In silver producing camps, as else where the cost of everything is being materially essened-mining, milling, smelling, freights, living expenses, ma chinery, and supplies of all kinds. Look ing at the m alter in it's broadest view, the nAtion as whole is better off today than one year or two years ago With very few exceptions the silver producing mines yield lead as well, which sells to- day for better prices than a year ago, with probability of keeping up to the present figure, and everything will nec- essariIy tend to adjust themselves to existing conditions.-M. & s Press.

1t. Peter sits at the heavenly gate. his hands on the strings of the Tyre, and sings low song as he patiently waits for the souls of those who expire. He hears in the distance chorus of songs swell from the foot of the heavenly throne and he smiles as the music is waited along, and he warbles lay of his own: "There is room in thls region for millions of souls, who oy sorrow and we were bereft; 'tis for those who have suffered the melody rolls, but the kicker must turn to the left. There is room for the people who, when they were young, persisted in sewing wild oats, yet boomed up their town with sinew and tongne, but the kickers must go with the goats. There is room for the people who point with pride to the beauty and growth of their town, who kept singing their praises aloud till they died, but the kicker will please amble down. They'd say that the music was all out of tune and the angelic gown hand me down, and they'd send for jeweler up in the moon to sample the gold in their crown. So while there is room for million oi souls, who by sorrow and woe were be- reft, we want no complaint of the music that rolls, so the kicker must turn to the left. t."-Loyal Workman.
