The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-01-16

An eastern business man VINO

ly delivered himself of the fol-
lowing which he wanted to say
to a newspaper man, and to say
to them emphatically. Speaking
Of panics, he said there would be
none this year. The situation is
well in control by the powers
that be-" He omitted to state
what those powers were, but
from the tenor of his language it
could be inferred they were
bought and paid for prosperity,
credit and confidence and paper
which represents "petrified
credit"
He asks (: Don't we all want
prosperity :? Haven't we bought
this prosperity =? Haven't we
paid for it, and aren't we going
to keep it ?" 1t is true, he said,
we have made securities, and
money is judiciouslyEfirm, but if
need be, we can make money as
well as securities. And now he
tackles another question. He
asserts that this is not an age of
gold or of silver. 1t is an age
of credit and confidence. Gold
bugs will take issue with the
there, but at the same
time, if they were offered five
silver dollars in change for a five
dollar bill, they would feel in
if not offended.
AS the gentleman said, this
country is not on a credit basis
and has been educated to a credit
basis by a credit-loving, specu-
people. We are far short

In order to kill the trusts, it is
necessary to smash the tariff
that protects them and makes
possible.

the Democratic convention to go

the enemy.

1t would be curious if the long
expected European war should
be precipitated by events at an
obscure place like Delagoa Bay.

There is one place where Eng

| j. b. KING AND FAMILY Dear
People Happy greeting to you
all. Excuse delay in writing, as
l have been very busy since ar
irving here, and last week l was
sick all the week-not able to
drive out any at all on my work.
l have built neat barn 14x24
with shingle roof since l came
here and have been very busy
rounding up my flock. This is a
very fine farming country and a
good class of people reside here,
but the church has run down bad
ly since l was here four years ago.
l like my field very much and
they seem well pleased with their
pastor, but ga new broom sweeps
clean," you know. ] hope the
year will end well and with great
success.
l enjoy tbe weekly visit of the
TRIBUNE very much glad for
the news of old friends and as
sociates-yet sorry to note that
some have met with misfortune
and great reverses in this life's
pilgrimage. To all that live right
all will come right in the day of
final settlement. / shall ever feel
thankful to you for the kindness
shown me while in your county
and the help you gave me in many
ways, and may the great God of
all, who rewards all, bless you
and yours.
Our work here is growing in
interest and numbers and bids fair
to become strong organization.
The church is large, nne CON-
modious building, well furnished,
heated by furnace and is nicely
located. The parsonage is nice
and roomy, and altogether l think
1 am fortunately situated. AT
frat l was little disappointed in
the spiritual life and interest, but
now all is coming along nicely.
Give my love to all enquiring
friends and tell them / lack time
to write all, but my heart is with
them. The ties of friendship
formed while in Ebert are and
ever will be very sacred to me,
and my daily prayer is for the
up-building of spiritual work in
your county and the salvation of
all souls there. God bless and
give success to the meetings in
Elbsrt this month. Tell Bro.
Rankin l am with him in spirit
if not in person, and that l shall
EXPECT to meet him Over There
in our Fathers house. With
love to all, and hoping to hear
from you, l close.
You Friend and Bro,

M'KINLEY WAS EXPELLED
He is Union Bricklayer and Has Q
 Working Card

Chicago, July By action of the Build ing Trades Council in expelling Bricklayers and Stonemason's Unions from the coun- cil, President Mckinley was also expelled from the body. AS there was some em- barrassment over the proposition to have the President, non-union man, lay the corner stone of the new postoffice here last fall he was elected to the union, and a working card mailed to him.
 Today there were those in favor of grant ing special dispensation to the President, as there was no evidence that he had per- sonally disobeyed the rules of the Build ing Trades Council. However, when some one mentioned that Mckinley was a can didate for a political office such conduct being contrary to the rules of the council, 1t was decided that the President will be considered no longer entitled to the broad protection of the council and it's strikes. He is still a member of the Stone Mason's and Bricklayers' Union, however.

Bessemer, July 10.-(Special) )-An approx innate estimate of the population of this city and immediate surroundings, calcu- lating by the number of people found to be living in a certain beat, is about F, GOO.

The Fight on Senator Jones

Kansas City, July 1.-Some interest has developed in the National Committee over the chairmanship, and it Is no longer concealed that there is a contest for it. The friends of Senator Jones of Arkansas are interesting them selves quite actively to checkmate the movement against him. In this as in all other matters, an appeal has been made to MT. Bryan and those who have talked with him say that he wishes Senator Jones to again be chairman. He thinks that if the Senator should not be selected it would appear before the country as evidence of want of confidence in the present politi- cal national chairman.

IS IT STRIKE
 OR NO STRIKE
Miners Will Vote on Operators
 Proposition Today.
VOTE TO REJECT EXPECTED
There is Vague Rumor in Circulation That the Miners Will Yield the Greater Part of Their
 Demands

The United Mine Workers in Alabama will vote today on the proposition of the coal operators for a renewal for another year of the contract that expired Saturday. It is generally believed that they will vote to reject it. The delegats to the conven- tion which was in sssion in Seals hall from June 20 to the 30 inclusive will return to town tomorrow and again take up the question of a wage scale. Whether they will bring instructions to make any ma terial concessions from the demands sub mitted to the operators last week is yet to
 be ascertained Some of the leaders in the
 convention last week expressed 1t as their
 opinion that the miners would contend for most of the demands then submitted.
 The operators informed the convention
 that they would not grant the demands made, and it is understood they will stand
 firm to this resolution. The operators as-
 sociation embraces about 90 per cent. of
 the mine owners in the state, and it is
 understood that they will stand together on all questions relating to contracts with
 the miners.
 There is a vague rumor in circulation that the United Mine Workers will yield
 the greater part of their demands and sign a contract with the operators with whom
 they were in conference last week, and
 that they will follow that up with vigor-
 ous campaign against certain mine opera
 tors in the state who have never recog-
 nized union miners. There are two or three strong companies in the Birmingham District that have always refused to treat with the miners organization, and efforts
 made in the past to force them to terms have failed It is stated that organizations
 have been formed among the employees of some of these companies and that those so organized will cult work soon the
 new contract for the district can be agreed
 upon.

AMERICAN ATHLETES
It Looks Like They Will Sweep the
 Field Clean

London, July 1-Out of four events which Princeton contested at the summer meeting of the London Athletic Club. at Stamford Bridge, the Princeton men won three, as cabled yesterday, which, as Manager Jameson said to a correspondent of the Associated Press, was better than they expected Judging from the perform ances of the English cracks, Princeton. Pennsylvania, Georgetown and the New York Athletic Club should almost sweep the board next Saturday when they com pete in the amateur athletic champions shps of England.
 Pennsylvania will probably be credited with the lions share of the honors, al- though American competed in the run ming, the visitors confining their energies to jumping and putting the weights. How ever it is evident that unless the boys
 trip across the Atlantic and the climate should wreak unexpected havoc the visitors should have no difficulty in securing some
 of the running events. Yesterday was cold
 and wet and the afternoon proved a trying
 one for the competitors. Princeton was
 peculiarly unfortunate for. in addition to
 having Perry laid up, Horton hurt himself
 during the pole jump, and may not be able
 to compete this week. The most friendly
 kind of spirit existed between the English
 and American competitors.
 The winning Americans received far
 more applause than did those of England
 Secretary Herbert of the Amateur Attn
 letic Association when asked by the Asso-
 ciated Press what he thought of the Amer jeans, said
 "They are a splendid lot of men, and I
 fear we have got few who will have only look in for the championships.
