OBITUARY.

CHARLES HENRY PRITCHARD.
After weeks of patient suffering, the
hand OF Death at last came to the re-
lief of Chas. H. Pritchard last Thurs
day evening. His death was without
doubt primarily caused by inhaling the
deadly dust at the DeLamar mine.
where he worked for long time, but
an attack OF pneumonia, which he suf-
fered at Reno last February, certainly
FASTENED the fatal termination of the
malady. He never recovered from that
sickness and when he returned here a
few weeks ago the doctors had given
him up and he knew that he must die.
At the home OF his brother, Geo. Paul,
he received every care and attention
that loving hearts and willing hands
could perform, but the hand of the De-
stroyer could not be staid
The funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon at ] o'clock from Mr.. Paul 5
residence and was largely attended.
Mr.. A. L. Stearns OBLIGATED and read
the beautiful Episcopal burial service.
Charles Henry Pritchard was born
in California on April l4th, 1859. His
father died few years later and while
yet a boy he came to this county to Join
his mother, who had married again and
settled at Hamilton. Here he learned
to be a miner and teamster and fol-
lowed these occupations in many OF the
large mining camps on the Coast. He
was very fond OF travel and two years
ago he spent the winter in the Hawaiian
Islands to recoup his health. Where
ever he went, his habits OF sobriety
and industry won him the respect of
all with whom he came in contact. At
the time of his death he was member
In good standing of the Knights OF Ply
thias lodge at Park City, Utah, and of
the Knights Of the Maccabees at Della
mar, Nevada. He leaves his mother
and step-father Mr.. and Mrs s. f.
Paul, and three brothers, Frank, Al
and George Paul residing here, aud
sister, Miss Clara Paul of San Francis
co, who have the sympathy OF the com
munity in their sorrow.

In reply to the question. what good
can be accomplished by n convention to
discuss the money or silver coinage Is
sue at the present timeT' we answer:
Thnt 1t IL not alone by discussion,
which. by the way, is always valua-
BILE aid to spreading the seeds OF truth;
but this convention will. by the num-
: ber and representative character of
those participating therein, give to the
voters everywhere the most convinc-
ing proof that the money question. the
silver question. is not only not dead,
but that 1t IL not even sleeping, and
TINT neither the trenchery OF parties,
nor the treaton Of administrations. nor
the ambitions OF individuals, can for a
moment eliminate these most impOr-
tant questions from the public mind.
The necessities for the use Of silver
In the monetary system Of the United
States, and as standard money. grow
with the growth of population. with
increase of production, and with the
activity of business.
Money made Of gold alone. no matter
to what extent 1t may be coined, cannot
serve as the money of the great mass
OF the people, who make their daily
cash purchases In sums Of one dollar
or under. Therefore vast volume of
substitutes for money must be used,
and the larger the volume Of these sub
stitutes, these promises to pay money.
which are forced into circulation and
become accepted instead of money,
the easier 1t becomes to "fertilize the
rich mans field with the sweat of the
poor mans brow"
No nation can claim to have n safe.
or n sound, or nm honest monetary sys-
TEN. which permits mere promises to
pay money, or substitutes for money,
to become part OF Its currency. and to
be accepted inst.ad of money. because
the nation refuses to exercise its SOW
ereignty by the creation of money.
The moral effect OF such gathering
of earnest men, from widely separate
sections of our common country, who.
impelled by sense Of Justice and rec.
ognition OF the dangers tothe republic
growing out Of unwise, II not vicious,
legislation. md administration, cannot
fail to have an important effect upon
the delegates who will assemble at
Kansas City to promulgate platforms,
and to nominate candidates. for the
highest offices In the gift of the people,
In union and In numbers there is
strength; and to give this latent moral
sentiment its most effective power is
