The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-06-12


ing the building of the road to
Butte. Mr.. Watson has gone
east, having become thoroughly
disgusted with Boise as she is
following her usual course when
it comes to railroad building, she
makes a proposition and it is ac-
cepted, and then she falls down,
being unable to comply, and asks
that the terms be modified so
that they can reach it. They get
just what they want and raise
the money, then they want the
company to obligate themselves
to put their machine shops and
round houses at the Capitol city,
besides asking many other con-
cessions that it is impossible to
grant. Mr.. Watson has gone to
New York, and expects to return
in about three weeks, when op-
erations will commence at this
place, and will be pushed as fast
as money will make it go. 1t is
said that the line will come down
on the south side of the river
and will miss Boise by about two
miles.-Caldwell Record.
Custer county is entitled to A
delegates at the Silver Republi-
can convention at Pocatello on
July 18th.
James K. Keene, the great
multi millionaire of New York,
the other day sounded the key
note of warning. He is reported
to have said
THE people of this country
must arouse themselves. The
coming election is of more i'm
portance, from the standpoint OF
a pure and true Americanism,
than any that has transpired
since the second election of
Lincoln. Money is in the saddle;
it is riding down the institutions
of this country with a confident
insolence that tells of it's firm
belief in its own invincibility. L
is running the Government today
in it's every branch and arm.
'If moneys power in moldins
public affairs goes forward fol
four years more as it has fol
four years past, the name O.
American liberty will only b.
worth a recollection as a matte
of history. Money is pressing
the people backward step b.
step. What is to be the end L
it goes on, there are, as matter
trend, but two solutions. One i
socialism, and the second is revo
luton. The American people
must defend themselves fror
money just as they once guarde
their forest frontiers from tn
savage. Unless they come solid
J ly shoulder to shoulder for thei
rights, and come at once, Bunke
Hill will have been a blundel
: Yorktown a mistake.
