Political Situation.
The Republican Conventions Have
Been Called.
Progress Of the Silver Union Reform
Party Movement.

Meetings are being called all over
Marion county to organize Union BIZ
metallic clubs to unite the people
against the Gold standard party.
The Republican state league CON
ventIOn was strongly for the gold
standard, the only honorable course
left for the Republican party to pur
sue in accordance with their national
administration and the policy Of
President Mckinley and Secretary
Gage.
The Republicans are to be congrat-
ulated on their course in this matter.
1t Is both courageous and consistent.
Their resolutions leave out all decep.
tive phrases like international bime-
tallism. They even leaye out the
word binetallism and endorse Cages
plan to retire the greenbacks and is
sue 2t per cent gold bonds TO take. up
the silver currency.
This clears the air and defines the
issue. 1t is the gold standard against
bimetallism and'Igovernment paper
money. We repeat, it is honorable
and consistent so far as the Republi-
can party is concerned, bot we abhor
the system they seek TO establish as
una merican, unscientitic and not
favorable to permanent prosperity
The work.Of uniting all elements op-
posed to the gold standard is going on.
There is a question whether there
shall be Union county conventions
composed OF delegates chosen at Union
primaries, or whether tile Democrats,
Populists and Silver Republicans shall
each hold separate party primaries
and county conventions.
Tho frpDn nf inn hV tho nannla
seems to be toward Union at the pri-
maries and one JnlOn convention,
We are not prepared to say that
this is right. Our judgment would be
to hold three county conventions and
then form a ticket by conference
But that would cost more than one
convention. The people are not
sticking for forms.
They are going in for results against
4 common enemy.
The elimination of Mitchellism
from the Republican party will throw
dangerous and corrupting ele-
ment into the open field and they
will seek to unite with the Union
forces, but should not be recognized
or shown any favors whatever. The
Mitchellite silverites are not men Of
principle and the Union or Reform
forces should not have anything to do
with them, While certain Repuh-
licans will cater to middle-of-the-
road Populists, let the Union Of Re-
form forces cater to no corrupt ele-
menU.
The Bryan voters represent devo-
tion to good government and princi-
pie. They do not have TO be bought
with gold or held with hope of office.
They represent the sacred cause of
the people and Of peoples govern
ment perishing in the hands Of pluto
cracy.

A CLOSE CALL.
Nip and Tuck uctween the Miners
and the Mountain Lion.

ana the mountain Lion.
A number of sportsmeu were recently
talking over the good times they had
had duck shooting last fall, when the
conversation turned on hunting big
game in the west. Some thrilling adj
venture was related by every one in the
group but an elderly man. and he in
turn was asked for story.
II don't suppose" began the silent
man, "that any of you young fellows
ever ran across n mountain lion, as they
are becoming rather scarce now in the
west. But early in the SOS, when first
went to Colorado to hunt for gold, these
animals were quite numerous. recall
on one occasion having n little adven-
ture with a lion that almost scared me
out of my wits. With partner was
working claim in the mountains near
Ouray, and one day before the very cold
weather OF the winter set in we both
went to town to get some supplies, lcav-
ing our little cabin on the mountain
side alone.
1T came on to snow SO hard soon
after we arrived in Ouray that wo did
not get n chance TO return to our claim
for three days. On our return journey
we noticed us we were climbing the hills
the tracks of n mountain lion leading
toward our cabin. Presently, however,
Ms we got nearer and nearer TO our little
home, we lost the track OF the animal,
and the sight OF an open window. which
had been carefully closed on our de-
pnrturc for town, caused us to forget
all about the lion md it's presence.
"Well. ! had reached the window and
was just about to put my head into the
apartment when there came terrible
growl and the next instant great yell
low body sprang through the opening
right on my bnck, its claws catching my
buckskin cont and ripping II open to
my waist, turning me completely over
and into the snow. My partner took
the dangerous situation in at glance
and whipped out his gun. Then the In
fernnl lion turned on him, making a
fearful leap In his direction. Before he
could fire the infuriatcd bcnst wns upon
him, and, seizing him by the slack of

BOUND OVER.

If there was ever a trial before the
justice court in Canon that attracted
as much interest as that of Messrs.
Hirsch & Enricht it was beyond the
memory of the Oldest citizens. The
trial began Saturday morning before
Judge Adams and ended on Tuesday.
Attorneys Dale, Champion, Dawson
and Macon appeared for the state and
Col. Maupin for the desense. On the
complaint of obtaining money under
false pretenses the case was hotly
contested by the defense. On the
charge of conspiracy to defeat and
defraud the prisoners waived exami-
nation. They were bound over to ap-
pear at the district court on both
cases. The bond was placed at $l0,-
600 jointly for each case. On We'd
nesday bond was given by Mrs. A. r.
Gumaer, of Florence, and II. C. Wood
worth, of Denver, and the prisoners

THE WHITE FOREST.
Memorial to the Great Naturalist,
Gilbert White.

Memorial to the Great Naturalist,
Gilbert White.
Unique indeed will be the memorial
by which the English naturalists pro-
pose to honor the gentle memory of Gill
bert White, author of the Natural His
tory of Selborne." Near the little viii
lage of Selborne, which White has i'm
mortalized in his charming book, lies
the forest of Woolmer. in ancient times
royal hunting preserveand still crown
property. 1t has been practically de-
cided that the nation shall assume M-
rect control of this copse-clad tract and
turn il into what may be styled an asy-
lum for the wild beasts, birds and in
sects of England. The British Ornitho-
logical society has the work in hand.
and it is stated that the government
looks favorably upon the proposed
White Forest of Woolmer," as the
beautiful memorial is to be called.
The forest is to be surrounded by a
series of defenses sufficient to keep out
all unwelcome intruders. At the main
entrance will stand statue of Gilbert
White, his hands raised in the act nf
liberating an imprisoned bird. Pains
will be taken to stock Woolmer with
every known species OF bird still exist
ing in England; and. as far as possible
to make their new habitation agreeable.
Such wild animals as have survived will
also be represented. The streams flow
ing through the tract are too small for
any fish other than trout and such
small varieties, but these will be fos-
tered. Quantities Of butterflies, dragon
flies and whole colonies of bees can be
easily liberated within the walls, and.
once within. are likely to remain ard
fill the shady glens and sunny glades
with murmuring insect life.
The forest, with its strange and va
ried life, will, in fact, be place where
failing species may gain in numbers,
and where the naturalist of England
may find his specimens always around
him. Admission will be restricted-no
mere idler or person liable to friphten
or steal the little colonists being per-
mitted to pass the tutelary statue of
Gilbert White at the gate A force of
gamekeepers and watchmen large
enough to protect their charges night
and day will keep out all intruders.
The cat and the dog are alike tpbooed
and cannot enter this paradise Of animal
life. Certain almost impossible thick
cts in the very heart Of the forest will
be set aside for the wilder sort Of beasts
the deer. the fox, the badger and the
hare. Sandy slopes offer inducements
to the burrowing rabbit; and, despite
danger from goshawk, kestrel or fall
con, thrushes. blackbirds. finches, lin
nets. larks and other feathered choir
lists ought to be able to sing happily
enough in the Stree forest"
We're kindly Gilbert White alive no
one wonld delight more than he in the
proposal to make Woolmer a home for
the fowl and the brute. within whose
confines fhe reckless destroyer man
cannot hunt and kill Cincinnati oon-
