these statements:

"The meetings of the Silver
Republicans in Chicago and Wash
ington were entirely harmonious,
largely attended and enthusiastic.
A national convention will be held
at the same time and place as the
Democrats and Populists hold
theirs. An agreement has been
had with the Democrats, but the
Populists may hold their convent
ion first. Should they do so it is
certain they will nominate Bryan.
The Silver Republicans held
strictly to bi-metallism, discarding
all other issues. The committee
took the position that they had no
right to speak for Silver Republi-
cans except on the money question.
The National Convention of the
party will be the only power to
decide on other issues for the party.
The convention will be very large,
not less than 1000 delegates. The
only qualification for delegates is
that the delegate should have been
a republican who left the party
when it declared for the gold
standard.
The gold bill, passed by the
House makes the issue clear and
distinct. All the Republican
members of Congress and eleven
gold Democrats voted for it, and
all the others, Democrats, Silver
Sepublicans and Populists voted
against it. The Republicans have
thrown off all disguise and stand
squarely for the gold standard and
all the attendant iniquities-the
retirement of the greenbacks, the
redemption of silver dollars in
gold, the payment Of all coin bonds
in gold and the giving to the banks
the control of the issuance oil
money. The reform forces arr
united in opposition, and vii
unite in the nomination of Mr.
Bryan. The fight will be between
the gold standard and bi-metalisn
and the Silver Republicans arr
ready to do their share for bi-met
alism.
Imperialism will not be an is
sue. President Mckinley in hi
message prepared the way to Gle

The War in South Africa.

From sister Of the editor of the
FREE PRESS residing at Pietermar-
itzberg, the capital Of Natal, in
South Africa, where the war be-
tween the Boer Republic and
Great Britain is now being con-
Quoted, we learn the following
particulars: "Maritzberg, last
week was in danger Of being
invaded and two nights we went
. with rugs, etc all packed, ready
for our exit, thinking women and
children might be ordered to leave
by the night mail. My two oldest
boys, st. John and Sanford, are
members Of the Volunteer Rifle
Association to defend the city, and
Harry belongs to an ambulance
corps. We get no communication
from Ladysmith, 10S miles distant
as the wires arec ut, except through
carrier pigeons, and they come few
and far between. The war has
already made sad havoc in Maritz-
berg, SO many of our people being
killed and wounded. The son of
our chief justice was taken prisoner
and it was feared that he was
killed, but president Steyn, of the
Orange Free State wrote to the
father and assured him that his
boy was all right and in good
hands, which was an immense
relief. The Beers intend making
for Maritzberg, but we hope that
they will be kept off. Today a
message came from Estcourt saying
that heavy artillery firing was
heard, SO we suppose a big battle
was fought. The government
school pupils have all been dismiss
ed and the buildings turned into
hospitals, Us well as the legislative
buildings. So many girls from ST.
Anne school have been sent for
by their parents in Griqual and that
the school has closed and the lady
warden has offered the building for
hospital purposes. Everything is
kept secret here; we do not know
where the Army Corps is. At
night the lights are turned out at
the station and ga ties locked; then
trains with troops creep through.
One night Al trains went through
for the front. This place is TEEN

DR. Chas. Busey has donated to
the FREE PREss cabinet of curios-
tiles copy of "Rind's Virginia
Gazette" dated October "a, 1866.
The place of its publication was
Richmond, Virginia, at that time a
loyal and devoted colony of the
British crown. The paper is made
mp of ten pages, two wide columns
to the page, and in point of news,
it proves that our worthy ancest-
ors either didn't know or didn t
care what news was, Classical
editorials and correspondence from
London and the island of Martin
ique in the affected and stilte d
style of the day filled the columns.
Alta later date we may publish
some of this mental pabnlum,
which is unique nowadays, and
shows that our venerated ancestors
were easily pleased with the class
of literature set before them by
the editors of that far distant
date.

Idaho is attracting much attention

midas SICKENlNG SCENE.

Louis Klopsch, of New York, pub
Usher of the Christian Herald, writes
from Bombay, under date of tn e I'd
inst, after making a tour of the
famine-stricken districts, the following
statement:
Everywhere 1 met the most shock
ing and revolving scenes. The famine
camps have been swept by cholera
and smallpox, Fugitives scattering
in all directions and stricken in flight
were found dying in the fields and
roadside bitches. The numbers at one
relief station were increasing at the
rate OF 10000 per day.
CAT Godhera there were 5000
deaths from cholera within four days
and at Dohad $500 in the same
period. The hospital death rate at
Godhera and Dohad was 80 per cent.
Air and water were impregnated
with an intolerable stencil of corpses
At Ahmedabad, the death rate in the
hospital was 10 per cent. Every day
l saw new patients placed face to face
with corpses. In every fourth cot
there was a corpse.
"The thermometer read lis in the
shade. Millions of flies lowered
around the uncleansed dysen.ery
patients. / visited the smallpox and
cholera wards at Viragam. All the
patients were lying on the ground
there being no cots. Otherwise their
condition was fair.

al can fully verify the reports that
vuitures, dogs and JackalS arc devour-
ing the dead. Dogs have been seen
running about with children's limbs
in their jaws.
The Governmcn. is doing its best,
but the native officials are hopelessly
and heartle>sly inefficient. Between
the famine, the plague and the
cholera, the condition OF the Bombay
Presidency is now worse than it was
at any previous period i'll the Nine
tcenth century. Whole families have
been blotted out. The spirit of the
people is broken, and there may be
something still worse to come when
the monsoon breaks"

To Mend China.

Accidents will happen, and it is not
unseldom that bit of fine china or o
highly priced porcelain ornament is
broken, whose loss would cause regret
to the owner, but if the following rec

ling afterwards, it will insure the
safety OF the broken article: Mix to.
gether equal parts of fine glue, white
OF eggs and white lead, and with it
annoint the edges of the article to be
mended; press them together, and
when hard and dry, scrape off as much
OF the cement as sticks about the
joint, that is all that is necessary.
The juice of garlic is another GOOD &C.

To Remove the Odor Of Mutton.

This recipe is an original and tested
one from an old cook who made use of
it for her own personal benefit. This
peculiar odor which permeates the
flesh of lambs and sheep, the latter es-
pecially, is very offensive to most PEG.
pie, and many who would otherwise
enjoy the meat cannot eat it on &C.
count OF this unpleasant attribute.
Now, the remedy is simple and mex.
pensive, for all that is necessary is to
take the juice of one lemon and beat
with it sufficient butter to make a
gravy, and pour this over the meat
when broiling, or when putting it in
to bake; it applies to frying also.
Another method which she gave,
and which may possibly be known to
others, is to pour the gravy of the
meat when it is done over some fresh.
ly gathered mint leaves, allowing it to
remain long enough for the mint ia
thoroughly flavor it; then pour it back
over the meat. This is known as
mint gravy.
