The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1898-02-15
IALLIs, IDAHO, Feb. 8, 1893.

President Mckinley visited the
Manufacturers National Associa-
ton at the Waldorf hotel in New
York City on the 9th of last
month, and made one of his elo-
quent political speeches to go be-
fore the world as an argument,
and in authoritative tone, for the
sole purpose of having effect
upon the members in Congress,
that he thought could be swayed
by one speaking, who stood in
his commanding position, upon
the Teller Resolutions. All
things point that way. and l
presume that the President
would be too candid to deny that
THAT was his purpose. He could
not speak in the halls of Con-
gress, and the men who are in
control wanted his ability brought
TO bear upon the great question
whether the Constitution should
be carried out according to it's
intent and true spirit, or-be
slyly evaded. No other man has
SO much patronage with which to
command respect and obediance;
very few men have so smooth
and crafty a tongue. In this
speech he made the following
declaration of an open hearted
purpose and action in support of
a gold standard
IAN honest attempt will be the best proof OF
sincerity of purpose. Discussion cannot hurt,
1T will only help the cause.
Let us have full and free discussion. we
are the last to avoid or evade it. Intelligent
discussion will strengthen the Indifferent and
encourage the friends of q stable system Of fin
ance.
Half heartedness never won q battle. Ma
tfons and parties without abiding principle and
stern resolution to enforce them II 1t COSTS a
continuous struggle to do so and temporary
sacrifice, are never in the highest degree sue
clessful leaders in the progress of mankind For
us to attempt nothing in the face OF the present
fhllaces and constant effort to spread them is
to lose valuable ground already won and prac-
ideally weaken the forces Of sound money for
their battles In the future"
Unfortunately for his unpar-
allied and disruptable effort (who
ever heard of an American Presi-
dent STOPPING so low before-ex-
cept it should be Ex-President
Cleveland p the Senate of the
United States disregarded his
tlictation. But the speech was
not so much to control the Sen
ate; that was supposed to be
against his servile plans.
There was, however, lurking
fears that the lower house of
Congress might partially forget
their party. while thinking of
their duty-to their country, and
make a break in the party plans.
That would be too bad, and must.
If possible. be avoided. This
was some excuse for the degre-
ilatiou. Oh, how America has
fallen /.
But we will now look on the
other side of the picture. AS
soon as these resolutions had
reached the House of Represen-
tatives there was a murmuring

CUBA A FRENCH COLONY.


LAurore, Paris.
Is it known that Cuba under Louis
Philippe came near being French pos
session. 1t was under the following cir
cumstances: The Queen (Maria) Chris
tina offered to sell to France her princi-
pal colonies in order to wipe out the
deficit Of the Spanish metropolis. Mys-
FERROUS meetings took place at the Tuil-
cries between Mr.. Campuzano, the
Spanish envoy, the Banker Aquado,
Prince Talleyrand and Louis Philippe.
1t appears that the treaty proposed CON
sisted of two parts; the first, which coded
Cuba to France for thirty millions, was
signed without difficulty; but the second,
relative to Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands caused rupture of the negotia-
tions. Spain asked ten millions. Louis
Philippe offered seven for them, alleging
that the sale of the Philippines might
entangle France in war with England.
The Spanish envoy then broke off the
negotiations. He was wrong, for, since
that day, how many other thirty-seven
millions the Spanish metropolis might
have saved, without counting that for a
long time the Cubans would have been
under republican government?

troopers OF the Third Cavalry were
drawn up, and the converted yacht
Eileen, ir the roadstead, slowly
doomed furth the Presidents salute of
81 guns. Gen. Wheeler met the Presi.
dent because Gen. ShRfter has a touch
OF fever, and does not feel able to move

long view of the wide, undulating.
treeless expanse, checkered with regi.

"Thia ia beautiful" Mr.. Mckinley
said, and later he remarked: 81

A pERpLESING QUESTION.

Two Persons Claim the Right tn Occupy
the same Spaces in King Street Market.
At Saturdays session of the City
Court Clerk OF the Market Council
charged Mrs. Il. L. Becker of Kenneth
Square, Pa, with occupying spaces
Nos. 25S md 279, in the King street
farmers' msrket, which. it was alleged,
had previously been rented by Ii. II.
MoMullen.
Mrs. Becker, who was represented by
John Lynn, produced a receipt for the
two spaces. which she stated she OBJ
tanned from Frank j. Neidormaier. the
then clerk of the markat, on May 4th.
last, having paid 81. no on that day as
rent. Saumel Hammond, who is em
ployed by Mr.. Nom ullen, exhibited two
reosipts issued by Mr.. Neidermaier,
one dated April 18th, 1907. and the
other April I'd, 1898.
The general testimony appeared to
indicate that both parties had rented
ths same spaces for tine year from May
1st, 1893, to May LIST, 1899. Mrs.
Becker's receipt, which was dated
May 4th, 1898, showed such to be the
case, SO far as she was concerned, while
Mr.. Nom ullen's receipts issued on
April I'd last, more than month before
Mrs. Becker obtained her receipt. set
forth that the spaces we're. rsnted to
him from May let, 1897, to May 1st,
1898, the identical statement ON the
receipt obtained by him the year pre-
vious Mr.. McMullen stated that the
receipt obtained last April was for this
year and claimed the dates thereon
were wrong, presumably due to an over
sight on the part of somebody in the
office OF the clerk of the market when
it was issued.
Clerk of the Market Connsll also
believes that his predecessor bad male
mistake in iasuiDg q license to Mrs.
Becker after the spaces had been
rented to Mr.. McMullen.
Assistant City Solicitor Cahoon said
he was unable TO find uny stubs CORE
spending to the receipts and Clerh
Cornell did not know anything about
any stubs which might have been il
the possession of the former clerk
neither did hs know anything about
any record OF the transactions REFERRED
to.
On account of the absence Of Forme,
Clerk Neidsrmaier, the case was con
tinued until next Saturday morning
In the meantime, by decision of Clerl
yConnell, who believes that the spHcei
were first rented to MIR. MoMullen tht
spaces will be occupied by Mr. Nc
Mullen until the matter is settled.
At the hearing next Saturday al
effort will be made to have the reoordt

ANGLO-GERMAN AGREEMENT.
The Pail Mall Gazette Confident That II
Was Signed Last Week.

The Pail Mall Gazette Confident That II
Was Signed Last Week.
London, Eng, Sept. 2.-The Pail
Mall Gazette, this afternoon, says it
has received from a source in which 1t
has every confidence information that
the Anglo German agreement was
signed this week by Mr.. BRlfour and
the German Ambassador in behalf of
the respective Powers.
Continuing, the Pail Mall Gazette
says that, while the agreement Is re-
stricted, it embraces an offensive and
defensive alliance in certain eventuali-
ties.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds: "This
new and momentous departure in our
foreign policy comes as natural
development Of the European aitua-
tion."
This Pail Mall Gazetts then quotes
tue speech which Mr.. Chamberlain
made at Birmingham ON May 18th last,
bidding for German alliance, and
continues: "Latterly it has been evi-
dent, from the tone of the semi-oiiicial
German press, that the two govern
ments have been drawing closer, and
finally there were prolonged conferences
between Count Hatzfeldt and Mr.. Bal
four. The departure of Count HAITI.
feldt proves that the object Of the CON
suit,tions has been achieved. Besides,
Mr.. Chamberlain has gone to America,
Lord Salisbury is prolonging his alb
sencs and Mr.. Balfour leaves for his
holidays on Saturday. Evidently the
ministers do not expect to have to deal
with crucial questions of foreign
policy"

THE LINE OF DUTY PLAINLY MARKED.

The following editorial, from the
columns of the Dover Index, will be
cordially endorsed by every good Demo-
crat, and its spirit approved by every
good citizen, regardless of politics;
The Democratic party of this State and
county has plain duty before ito
show to the intelligent and conscientious
citizen that it is determined to merit his
allegiance and support.
This should be and is the duty of the
party at all times and in all places, but
under existing conditions 1t is q matter
simply of self-preservation.
The manner in which alone this duty
can be performed is also plain.
The Democratic ticket should be filled
in only with the names of competent and
conscientious candidates, men whose ap-
peal to their constituents will not lie in
fanciod popularity but in known integ-
rity.
The old cry that tho principles under
lying the ballot, and not the names which
it contains, should govern the voter, is too
much tainted with the breath of the
demagogue aud professional politician to
prove serviceable in times like the present.
However much of truth there may be in
such statement, one thing is certain-no
good principle was ever executed by a
bad agent.
The bane of the party everywhere is
the professional politician who, in the
very midst of blatant protestations as to
his life-long allegiance and devotion to
the interest of his party, is secretly pull
ing the wires of the primary and conven-
ton to secure the nomination of men
whom he can control.
If our approaching primaries and con-
ventions are to be manipulated in any
such manner, then the odium for the dis
astrous results which will surely follow
should be pinned on these mauipulators
alone.
Nominate the very best meu--let this
be the rule of the Democratic primaries
and conventions.
Let the party be fair, honest and truth
full in Its declarations. Let not the faults
aud follles of the past be upheld, con-
doned, or CLOSED over by abuse of politi.
cal opponents. To excuse or attempt to
justify fault is literally to assume re.
sponsibility for it.
The principles of Democracy are moi
of today, nor yet of yesterday, but are
coeval with our country's birth. Let per
sonal feeling, personal animosities and
personal greed be sunk in an earnestness
and uprightness of purpose and resolve
and success will be the sure reward.

An EDITOR Astonlshed.

hansab Clty noIiu.
The most surprised man in Ponce after
the surrender was the publisher of the
daily paper who was told by General
Wilson that his presses and other prop
erty would not be confiscated, Out OF
pure gratitude he told the Americans that
he would confine his news of the day u
runaways, society and police court items,
and wouldn't say word about the cap
ture of the city. When informed that he
could hustle out his reporters and write
up story of the surrender If he felt 10
disposed, he almost dropped over in his
poroxysm of joy, and offered to send
General Wilson the proofs of the first
edition. "Dann ii, man." General Will
son said. 81 don't want to see your proofs.
Go ahead and tell the story Just as IL is.
We don't censor our newspapers, and we
believe in a free press" This unheard
of liberty so completely upset the editor
that in the first edition he abused the
Spaniards in the purest Castilian, and ex-
pressed his sympathy for the new cause.
