''The Silver Republicans cannot to-

circumstances have sometimes in the

Only Neutrality-suspicious. Address.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-The following
address was issued today by the silver
senators and representatives. as the re-
suit of meeting held at Senator Teller s
house last night for the organization of
the Silver Republican party:
ITO the Silver Republicans Of the United
States:
There could not be better n,ustra-
tion of the great law by which in free
governments the rise. progress and de-
cline of parties are determined than tha
afforder by recent and present political
developments IN the United States. Po-
litical parties are practical instruments
for executing the Will of the people in re-
spect 10 principles and policies of gov
ernment. They therefore should repre-
sent and respond to public opinion in rs
attitude towards the problems which the
experience Of the nation from time to
time brings forward for solution. l. is
not parties that make issues; il is issues
that make parties.
For years events have been forcing
upon the country, with ever increasing
defnitcness and emphasis. the necessity
of reform in our monetary system. as re-
spects both the coinage Of metallic money
and the regulation and control Of credit
currency. Under stress Of experience and
subsequent investigation, opinions have
been gradually cryStallizing. In this pro-
cess the line of cleavage has paid little
regard to previously existing party de-
marcations, and today the most careless
observer cannot fail 70 see that the ge-
MUS Of the nation is approaching a se.-
Element Of this momentous controversy
Through the agency Of political instru-
ments now being fashioned to its hand.
ARE NOT YET POPULISTS.
''In the history OF these formative
events the so-ca.led Silver Republicans
have taken an important part and dis
charged a necessary function. In doing
so they have not surrendered sheir. con-
victions on certain ether great principles
of political economy and government:
but they realized that those principles
ere not capable Of successful annlicatfou
under the present monetary conditions.
They believe. therefore. that The ade-
quste treatment of all other issues mus,
swait the correct decision ot the dn,nin-
ant one thus presented. In this spirit.
they co-operated With the organized
forces Of bimetallism in the las; cam
paign. Every condition of patriotism
and expediency seems to counsel a con-
;inuation of that policy.
silver Republicans believe themselves
20 De in harmony with the original spir;;
of the old Republican party, and they
claim a property in its great names and
glorious traditions justified by the splea-
did services and sanc;ified hy the sacred
memories Of the time when thar party en-
bodied the aspirations and spoke the par-
pose Of the great masses OF the American
people. That party was born IN answer
20 the cry for champion Of liberty It's
early works were words Of comfort and
assurance TO the oppressed. lis great
deeds By which !; viii hereafter live il

4 Decisi6q of Tmp6rtaQcso

The following telegram was received Tuesday from Washington, and will prove of interest to many oI our readers
 A question of great importance throughout the west, involving the pub lication of notices by mining claimants, was settlee in the decision of Secretary Francis in the case of H w. Gowdy ct al., vs. the Kismet Gold Mining com- pany, coming up from the Pueblo, Col, land district
 These regulations have been generally disregarded. To prevent confusion and misrepresentation and to enforce the law, the following rule is substituted for rule 29 oI the official regulations "The claimant is required to post copy of the plat of such survey in a conspicuous place upon the claim together with a notice of his intent to apply for patent thereof, whether or not he will give the date of posting, name of claimant, name of claim, mining district and county :: whether or not the location is of record and if so where the record may be found giving the book and page thereof, the number of feet claimed along the vein and presumed direction thereof, number of feet clalmed on the lode in each di rection from the point of discovery, or

Henry ". Grady's Arraignment of
 the Liquor Traffic.

Tonight it enters an humble home to strike the roses from woman's cheeks and to. m orrow it challenges this republic in the halls of congress. Today it strikes a crust from the lips of starving child, and tomorrow levies tribute from the government itself There is no cottage in this city humble enough to escape it. no palace strong enough to shut it out. It defes the law when it cannot coerce
 suffrage. It is flexible to caj)l but mer- ciless in victory. It is the mortal enemy of peace and order, the despoil of men
 and the terror of women, the cloud that shadows the face of children, the demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls unshriveled to judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plaques to Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua stood beyond Jer- icho. It comes to ruin, and it shall profit mainly by the ruin of your sons aud mIne It comes to mislead human souls and to crush human hearts under it's runb bling wheels. It comes to bring gray haired mothers down in shame and
 sorrow to their graves. It comes to

 AriZOna's.

The Western Mining World says: "The present state legislature has cer- tainly tried the patience of every citizen in the state, and when the governor called them down this week for their ex travagance and waste of time and money, hls action received the hearty approval of all, The people were badly hood- wlnked when they elected large ma jority of the present legislature; they thought they were getting men who would put through bills that would lessen the burdensome taxation and bring about reforms that would be of benefit and credit to lhe great state. Bnt nothing ot this kind has been the result, and but few trivial bills have as yet become laws"

Ghurch and State.

II 1t be unlawful to mix Churcn ana state affairs, who will draw the lIne be-
 tween them so that they can not fail of
 being distinguished and never become
 mixed? Bat the affairs of the church have to do with the Bible and other sacred records, and the affairs of state have to do with st ate books and theories
 For if the wmiker shall presume to trench upon the sacred realm of the church, or the churchmAn invades the domain of the state, what mighty howl that should make, and yet how often this is done, says the Utonian
 The following is too beautiful to let pass unheeded, but it dare presume to venture in the two pastures-church and state.
 In the course of a debate on the inn migration bill Hon. J. T Morgan, Ala bama's senior senator, and reputed one of the ablest, if not the ablest attorney in that body, pronounced an eloquent eulogy on the ten commandments and the man and woman who lives up to them He said:
 "If every man who is naturalized in the United States is compelled to read the ten commandments, that man will not die without having had an opportu- nity to understand the groundwork of the civilization and the government of the United States. It can do him no harm Whether he reads it understand iugly or not q mean understandingly in the SC lse ot convection of it's truth), that man shall not go to his grave harmed by the tact that he has read the ten com. mandments. There are great many men in the United States today, native born and naturalzed, who have never read the ten commandments. They are none the better for that. The country is none the better off because those men have not read that basis of all Christian law. When a man is naturalized from foreign country, there must be better se- curity for that mans intelligence in re- ard to the true virtues and the true powers and duties of an American citi zen when he can satisfy the court by ostensible dem onstrations that he has really read the ten comm andments.
 "When We are making qualifications for those who are to become citizens of the United States, who are not born here, insist that they will show that they have had some education of heart and conscience as we'll as of political con ditions. If I believe that every ID 4n and woman who emigrates to the United States would ne obedent to the ten com. m lnhments, you might take all political questions and throw them to the winds, so far as I am concerned. 1 should feel that we were secure Tn a higher class of citizenship, affected by loftier and better motives.
