Buffalo Jones' New Scheme.

[St Louis Globe-Democrat.
Buffalo Jones, the noted Populist
and buffalo herder, has a new
scheme. He left Perry, Okla, June
18th on q six-months' expedition
to Eastern Alaska. He says be
has two objects in view; one is to
discover, if possible, an overland
route from the Canadian Pacific
Railroad to the Yukon River, 80 as
to avoid the tedious freighting of
goods to the rich gold fields of
Alaska over the snow-capped noun
tains on mems backs, and the other
and principal object is to capture
wild animals to stock an island in
the North Pacific Ocean on the
Alaskan coast, such as black, silver
gray and blue fox and American
sable.
It is his intention to reach the
barren region beyond the Great
Slave Lake and drive herd of the
almost extinct race of musk-oxen.
He took ten shepherd and two
bloodhounds with him. The shep-
herd dogs will be used for driving
the musk-oxen and the bloodhounds
for trailing them should they es-
cape during the night; also for
trailing the fox and other animals.
He is backed up by a company
which is interested in stocking an
island with ali kinds of fur and
meat bearing animals, and espec-
tally those animals that are liable
to become extinct. Mr.. Jones was
joined by an expert cowboy at
Omaha, and went direct to Winni-
peg, Manitoba. They will 60 from
there with pack mules as far as
possible, and then will be conveyed
with dog sledges to the barren lands.
For a year Jones had the only herd
of buffalo, and he says he made
many profitable sales.

Retiring the Greenbacks.

During the last campaign the
country was informed by the Re-
publicans that all that was needed
to bring prosperity was confidence.
But since the party has been in
stalled in power, a change Of. front
has been noticeable, until confidence
is referred to only in connection
with the genuine confidence game.
Now after all, the acknowledgment
is made that more money is needed
and not confidence, as Secretary
Gage is preparing a financial meas
ure to be submitted to Congress
next winter in which he will advo-
vate the increase of the circulating
medium by the granting of greater
privileges to banks in the issuing
of paper money. The greenbacks
are to be retired. They are not
controlled by the banks, therefore
they must go. But instead of green
backs, bank notes are to be issued,
and a greater circulation than we
now have is to be built upon the
paper of the National Banks, and
the money is to be worth less than
so cents on the dollar, in fact, as
worthless in intrinsic value" as
paper.
The Secretary has already COM
menced to put bis scheme in prac-
tice by retiring greenbacks, so far as
is possible under the present law.
He is locking up in the Treasury all
greenbacks and treasury notes, and
on June 1st there was held in the
Treasury about $50, 600, 900 of these
notes.
That is the relief the present adj
ministration proposes to afford the
people in the way of currency re-
form. Greenbacks, which cost the
people nothing except the paper
they are printed on, are to be with
drawn from circulation, and ma
tional bank notes, secured by bonds
on which the people pay interest,
are to be issued instead.

Mr.. Wanamaker has stirred up a
veritable hornets nest by his asser-
ton made some time since, and now
reiterated, that the country is not
prosperous, that times have grown
worse, not better, since the election
of Mr.. Mckinley, and that the Re.
publican party has not fulfilled its
prediction promises. That Mr..
Wanamaker told only the truth can
not be questioned, but his party
associates who were 80 liberal in
their promises of prosperity and so
confident that business would re-
vive upon McKinley's election, and
who, one and all, have waited fol-
prosperity to come until they have
grown weary of waiting and have
striven to keep up their courage by
speaking of prosperity which they
have not felt until their patience is
quite exhausted, are in no humor to
hear the truth. The very mention OF
Mckinley prosperity irritates them.
Mr.. Mckinley asks the people to
bear patiently yet awhile with their
endorsements, and to wait pa
tiently for the prosperity 80 often
promised them, but which has so
successfully eluded their grasp.
But patience is not an easy virtue
for men who are out of work and
starving to acquire.

A Farcical Proceeding.

The Senate by a decisive major
ity has voted TO put raw cotton on
the dutiable list. This is as farcical
a proceeding as putting duty on
wheat. The United States produces
more cotton than any other country
on the globe, in fact for fifty years
or more, it has supplied two-thirds
of the.spindles of Europe and all
the spindlea. of the United States
with the raw, material. There is
no cotton imported into the United
States. What, then, in the name
of common sense, is the use of put
ting a duty on the article? A duty
of 10 cents a pound on cotton would
not increase its selling price / mill
per pound. We export millions
of pounds of cotton annually and
the price of the article is fixed at
Liverpool as is the price of wheat.
Congress has been deceiving the
farmers Of the North for years by
putting tariff on wheat and max
ing them believe that the tariff en-
HANGED its selling price. Now Con-
gress proposes to bamboozle the
cotton planters of the South in the
same manner. How many persons
with as much brains as chimpanzee
can be deceived by such humbuggery
seems incomprehensible. We ex-
port millions of dollars worth of
wheat and cotton annually and i'm
port no appreciable quantity of
either, therefore the prices of these
mmodities are not affected by
the tariff.
If Congress is sincere in its desire
to help the agricultural interests of
the country, which it does not seem
to be, it will adopt the double
standard, make money more plenti-
full, compel Europe to pay $1.2O an
ounce for silver and thus increase
the selling price of wheat, cotton,
corn and other products of the
country, and incidentally the wages
of labor.

DR. Lewis f. Preston

DR.. Lewis F. Preston, a con-
sumptive specialist, was arrested at
Denver, Colo, recently, charged
with the murder of David Pronk, a
cigarmaker from Brooklyn. N. Y.
The specialists method of treat
ment is to run a hollow needle
through the walls Of the chest and
introduce an electric wire into the
lungs. Pronk died under this
treatment. The doctor sent a GER
tificate to the health department
giving consumption and weakness
of the heart as the cause of death.
The remains were exhumed at the
cemetery and viewed by the jury.
The autopsy revealed that death
resulted from an internal hemor-
rhage and not from consumption
or heart failure.

The free silver sentiment is gain.
ing ground in the east judging from
the grand ovations that have been
rendered William J. Bryan during
his visits to the different principal
cities. At New York last Saturday
he was met at the depot by an i'm.
mense crowd who accorded him an
enthusiastic reception. When the
silver champion left the train he
was greeted with cheers and repeated
cries of "Bryan, the next president
of the United States" Even the
hackmen waved their hats and re
newed their cheering for the "next
president of the United States"

Sapator Tillman of South Car,

Senator Tillman of South Caro-.
lima has given notice of an amend
ment he will offer to the tariff bill
providing for head tax of 500
on all immigrants to the United
States. The amendment also makes
it a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and imprisonment, for any per-
son to enter the United States for
the purpose of engaging in trade
or manual labor without intending
to become a citizen. These pro-
visions are modified by a proviso
to the effect that they shall only
remain in effect until silver shall
be admitted to our minis for coin
age at the ratio of Is to l, on the
same conditions with gold.

Tho New York Dispatch tells a
charming story of man who went
to sleep the other day and dreamed
that he was in city governed by
women. 1t was scrupulously clean,
and while walking around be saw
three men arrested for splitting on
pavements. A garbage barrel at the
rear of each lot was hand-painted
and tied with blue ribbon. Mail
boxes were decorated with hand
throws, end the fire plugs had cush-
Toned seats on top of them. Sweet
pea vines were climbing the electric
light poles. and a hand-painted GUS
pidor occupied a prominent place
on every corner. There was no
business, not a team being allowed
to pass up or down the main street,
for fear of making dust.

Promise Of Better Days

Pocatello Tribune: Pocatello never
had a better promise of prosperity
than that which is to-day hidden
under an apparent dullness as deep
as any that has ever brooded over
the city. 1t has been many. years
since the Railroad Company has
done such a good business as it is
now doing over the Idaho division
and every improvement of business
any place on the division helps Pc.
catello infinitely more than it does
any other point on the line. The
segregation of the Oregon Short
Line has been the cause of this i'm
provement. 1t has opened the o.
den gateway and it promises still
greater improvement in the near
future. Within the past few days
three new freight crews have been
put to work and all the crews are
being kept on the 60 almost all the
time. More must soon be put on.
The men in the shops are now
working six days in the week and
new men are also being put on.
This means that good big pay checks
will be distributed when the next
pay day comes around and this
means good times for the town of
Pocatello. Add to this the datter.
ing prospects of early and satisfac-
tory negotiations with the Indians,
and, on the whole, .Pocatello may
congratulate herself upon better
promises of fairly good times than
she has enjoyed for some years past.
