The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-03-09

Grover Cleveland is now an
ex-President. The nation says
amen, except it be capital, whom
he was plant tool for, and a
traitor to his country. We hope
Mckinley will do better, and
feel that he can do no worse.
Born:-To the wife of John f.
Christian, in Challis, on March
End, 1897, a son.
The most intensely interesting
people of the world just at this
moment are the millions of fam
inc and plague stricken in India.
But little is known of this region
by the people of the United Stat
es. Such reports as come to us
are the things seen through
British glasses. What has been
the effect of British rule in India?
Why these terrible famines !?
Why plaques? Julian Hawthorne
has been sent by the Cosmopol-
itan Magazine to India to obtain
answers to these questions at
first hand and depict the situa-
ton as it appears to an Ameri-
can. The March Cosmopolitan
contains the first of what is prob
ably the most important series
of articles ever presented in this
magazine. Nothing has been
published which gives an ade-
quate idea of the larger opera
tions of business-at least moth
ing by the class of men fitted for
such work by thorough famili-
arity with the subjects of which
they write. The article in the
March Cosmopolitan on 1.-The
Methods of Banking" by the
president of one of the largest
banks of New York-a man of
widest business experience
former Postmaster General jam
es-iS one which every person,
however humble his clerkship or
high his place in the financial
world, will find interesting and
instructive. This series will
constitute very complete course
of business training, and every
young man just entering busi-
ness life, and every old man will
alike find it of immense value.
An immense sensation was
created at Boise City on the Goth
says the Salt Lake Herald, by
the publication of the fact that
Representative JONES of Elmore
county had made an affidavit
charging that he had been bribed
to vote for Henry Heitfeld for
United States senator. AS soon
as the house journal had been
approved. Representative Per
kins of Blaine, one of those
whom JONES accused of having
paid him money, rose to a ques-
ton of personal privilege. He
said
II desire the indulgence of the
house for few moments on
question of personal privilege. l
see in this mornings paper, and
hear from various rumors, that
grave charges have been made
against parties in this house, of
whom | am one. / considered it
as joke at first, but it now ap-
pears that it is a reality. The
charges made are published to
the world, and | ask for com
plete investigation, not only for
myself but for all other parties
implicated in this charge. l do
not care how this investigation
is made, by whom or by what
party, but in justice to myself. I
desire that steps be taken at
once. am ready to meet the
charges any moment, and only
ask that the investigation be by
men who are honest.
A motion was made for the APP
pointment of a committee of
three to investigate. This was
followed by a motion by Elan
nagan to suspend JONES from
the privileges of the floor. Then
the storm broke, and for several
hours the matter was hotly de-
bated. Some took the ground
that JONES should not be punish
ed without trial, and others that
Perkins should be suspended
also. Finally motion was made
TO insert Perkins name in the
