''The action of Hon. John F. Shafroth

any other nation. and we demand that
the amount of paper money be regu-
lated to the wants of trade and be is
sued directly by the government. We
call upon all friends of this cause to be
manly and brave at this critical time
We denounce the federal judiciary
in arrogating to itself by the illegal
use of the writ of injunction. the leg

This abuse of power is violation of
the constitution of the United States;
1t denies the assurance of life, liberty

Salida, Sept 4.-I'he state conven-

yesterday.
There were about 125 delegates in

being represented by but one or two
delegates.
State Chairman Hamilton Armstrong
Of Denver called the convention to or
der shortly after 10 o'clock and Secre-
tary A. B. Gray read the call. w. j.
Thomas of Arapahoe named Judge
Frank w. Overs of Leadville for tenn
porary chairman. In doing so he
brought a cheer by announcing that
the Arnpahoe county delegation had
no contest this year, and hoped the
entire proceedings of the convention
would be equally harmonious. He
named Judge Overs as a man whom
the Populists loved for the enemies he
had made, and whose integrity had
been proof against the assaults OF the
allied enemies of Populist principles
and the rights of the people.
The mention of Judge Overs name
brought storm of cheers, which were
renewed when he was escorted to the
chair.
III. NJ. Andrews of Gunnison was
named for temporary secretary, and
Mrs. NJ. /. b. Reed of Arapahoe as as
sistant secretary.
As there were no contested delega-
tions and the temporary organization
was made permanent, the prelimina-
ries were rushed through.
There was some discussion in the
committee on resolutions, the senti-
mpnt of n majority being in favor OF

Silver Drops Once More.

New York, Sept. 1.-Bar silver made
a new low record in this market to-day.
The quoted price was 51A cents an
ounce, u cent below the previous low
record. The fall is accounted for by
the suspension of the sale Of India
council bonds for ten weeks. This is
equivalent to shutting of the supply
of exchange to the gold shipment
point and is regarded as removing one
of the sustaining factors to the price
of silver.

GAMBLING RESUMED IN IDAHO.

The Law Prohibiting 1t Declared to BE
Unconst tutional by Judge Stewart
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 2.-District Judge
George Fl. Stewart to-day decided the
nti-gambling law unconstitutional and
within half an hour after the decision
had been rendered gambling games of
all descriptions. closed since May, were
running wide open in this city. The de
cision is under the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the fee law case, which
in effect nullifies all important laws of
the state. Under this decision pools can
be sold for the October races here, for
which 5000 is hung up.
Encouraged by this decision the Dis
trict Courts of the state will be flooded
with attacks on various laws which are
claimed to come under the ban Of the
Supreme Court. If the appropriation bill
is attacked, as seems likely, Governor
Steunenberg may be forced to recon
vene the Legislature. 1t has been sug-
gested to bring the appropriation bill
into court by an action to prevent the
Supreme Court judges from drawing
their salaries.

Lead Is ON the Boom.

st. Louis, Sept. 2.-Prosperity has
struck the lead market and the market
is on the boom. Prices are higher than
they have been for the past five years,
with the prospect Of attaining the high
est point in the history of the metal.
Missouri mines which were on the point
of closing down have resumed opera
tons full blast and will produce high
er tonnage than ever before.
Since August. 1896, when the price Of
lead reached the lowest it has been
gradually climbing up until to-day 1t was
quoted at $4.O5M4.1O per 100 pounds. 1t
is confidently predicted by competent
authority that the price will reach $3.50
before the close of the year.

What is said to be the greatest oil
discovery ever made Is reported from
Alaska Some gold prospectors several
months ago ran across what seemed to
be q lake of oil. The lake was fed by
innumerable springs. and the sur
rounding mountains were full of coal.
They brought samples to Seattle, and
tests proved 1t to be OF as high grade
Z - any ever taken out of Pennsylvania
I wells. A local company was formed
: and experts sent up. They have re-
turned ON the steamer Topeka and
their report has more than borne out
frst reports. 1t Is said there is enough
oil and coal In the discovery to supply
the world. 1t is close to the ocean. in
fact the experts say that the oil oozes
out into the salt water. 1t Is said that
the Standard Oil company has already
made an offer for the property. The
owners have filed on 5000 acres. and
are naturally very much excited over
their prospects for fortune.

Among these conditions are the facts
