Stop Cracking.

The Washington Post, which is not
bad for the mere lust of meanness,
but, on the contrary, is as good as is
consistent with an earnest support of
the existing administration, whatever
it may be, joins in the chorus of
goldbug worshipers in deprecating
complaint against hard times. 1t says
times are not made easier by croak-
ing, and goes on with the usual pa
laver advising the people to wait un-
til good times come. If the admins
tration could induce all the people to
be contented with villainously bad
times without complaint, the robbers
would have very little attention Civ
en- to their designs. These homilies
that complaints do not do good, and
that it is the duty of the people to go
to sleep and not disturb the robb ers,
is on the principle of the burglar who
uses chloroform when he wants to
search the house and make sure that
he has secured the last dollar. To be
silent and not call attention to the
robber scheme whereby a moneyed
syndicate has robbed the people of
circulating medium, and controlled
and debauched the Treasury Depart
ment for the last twenty years, would
be criminal.
1t is true that Secretary Sherman
and his co-workers smuggled O bill
through Congress demonetizing sill
yer. But Congress re-established the
standard silver dollar in 1878, in which
all the obligations of the United
States were and are now payable.
Every obligation of the United States
has been from he beginning payable
in "coin" of either gold or silver.
With abundance of silver coin in the
treasury, that department. without a
shadow OF law, has given to the hold
ers of bonds and greenbacks the OPP
ton to demand gold. This option
was reserved to the government to
pay in either gold or silver. Has it
been sold or surrendered without con-
sideration? If the wealth of the para
sites who have preyed upon the coun-
try is not grossly misrepresented,
somebody received ample considera-
ton for betraying the United States.
The present admins tration has not
repudiated the policy of giving away
this option, although the Chief Exec
utive when in Congress voted for the
Matthews resolution, which declared
that every dollar of the obligations
of the government was payable in
silver as we'll as gold"
While the administration threatens
to continue this policy; while there
are $3.50, 900, 900 of idle money in the
treasury; while the Republicans are
making every effort to extort by taxa
tion enough surplus above the expen-
ditures of the government to annual
ly increase the useless and dangerous
surplus in the treasury, we are told
we must keep silent and not disturb
the torrent of corruption or make a
ripple upon the stagnant ocean of
population because croaking will do
no good. If the party in power think
the masses of the people enjoy the
financial roasting which is consum-
ing the substance of the land, they
are greatly mistaken. They will kick

How a Donkey Found a Mine.

AVW OV0ACy EOuuu m1uC.
The history of mine discoveries in
the West is full of strange and a mus
ing incidents. Many of the most cele-
brated mines or lodges have been
found by accident. Some of these ac-
cidental discoveries are laughable in
the extreme. One of them occurred
in connection with the discovery of
one of the richest mines in the C9ur
d'Alene country in Idaho. In this
case common donkey or jackass or
'burro" as one chooses to term it,
was credited with the finding of the
mine.
The Norther Pacific Railways finely
Illustrated tourest book, Wonderland
~, has q chapter on mining In the
West, in which the incident alluded
to is given. 1t shows how, from slight
or trivial things, great results may
flow. There are also articles on yell
lowstone Park, Alaska, cattle raising
etc. BY sending six cents in postage
stamps to Ohas. s. Fee, Gen. Pass
Agent, ST. Paul, Mimi, anyone can
obtain copy of this book. 1t is full
of historical fact and descriptive mar
rative, and valuable as q school text
book.

Money Secreted by Outlaws Recovered
in Washita County, Oklahoma.
On Spring creek in the western part
of Washita county, o. T., three strange
men have just found box of gold, and
the rumor in the community is that the
box contained $4,000. The money was

Gated ten years ago. TWAS the rendez-
vous of the Grey Davis band of outlaws,
which for 20 years stole thousands Of
horses and cattle for hundreds of miles
around and corralled them on this ranch.
In a fight ten years ago the outlaws
were all killed with one or two excep-
tons, and since that time the report has
been that much gold was hidden on the
ranch and many men have searched for
it. The other day three strange men
came in a wagon, dug up q large box.
put it in the wagon and drove away.

1t is very seldom a spring poet gets
nearer to natures heart than the one
employed by the Indianapolis Journal,
who bubbles over with enthusiasm at
the sight of the springing grass and
budding trees and flowers:
A bird sings In the treetop,
When he Isn't on the ground
A-digging up the garden seeds
That may therein be found;
The book beer sign is blooming;
The filled and foaming horn
Commingles on the poster
With William Capricorn;
The daring young beginner
Gets out upon his bike,
And like the vernal hobo,
Proceeds to chit the pike"
