Big Placer Clean Up.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 74.-The Caswell
boys, discoveries of the Thunder
Mountain district, are in the city.
They made the final deposit in the United
States assay Office of gold from their run
this year. The total taken out by them
during the seasons run was $Io, 2o3 81.
The actual running time was 90 hours.
They have water only. for few days.
But next year they will be able to make
much longer run, as they have arranged
for storing the stream from the melting
snow. This placer mining is simply the
sluicing of the surface Of mountain Of
ore. The ore slakes when exposed and
they sluice the same ground over year
after year. They have been working the
ground in that way for several years.

call of Chairman Edmisten of the execu-
tive committee the members of the ma
tional populist committee are i'll session
at headquarters here today to select
candidate for vice president TO fill the va

there is an influential saction of the
party which demands a party candidate
known to be populiSt. This faction is
headed by Chairman Butler who, while
coming out strongly for Bryan, has taken
no pains to conceal the opposition 10 the
populists indorsing Stevenson. While
the Stevenson hackers are more numer-
Gus, it is not known that they have an
absolute majority i'll the committee and

No man who has studied history and
knows human nature believes that the
Filipinos will ever be glad to have us
govern them. What excuse can be CIV
en- for it? | have heard of three. The
first is the money argument: that 1t
will pay; that there is money III 1t.
The second is that God is in it, and
the third is the political argument that
we are in 1t and cannot get out OF 1t.
Applause and laughter.)
I need not dwell upon the money
argument. That is the lowest argu-
ment ever made. A man who will JUS
tfy war of conquest upon the basis
of dollars and cents applies to that
subject the same principle that the
burglar or the highwayman applies.
Franklin said that he knew of no way
of judging of what ought to be done
between nations except to apply to
them the principles that govern indi-.
viduals in their dealings, and Frank
lin also said that when man said he
would do thing with a hundred men
associated with him that he would not
do by himself, you could believe the
I first part Of it and doubt the second;
and when | find man, or nation,
composed Of individuals that can enter
war of conquest for the money there
is in it, find the man who cannot ap-
ply the logic and the doctrine of one
man stealing from another If big
enough to do it. When they get down
to dollars and cents they cannot sup
port the doctrine. You cannot very
we'll go to mourning mother and tell
her that it pays to have her boy killed.
The mothers Of this country will send
their sons to fight for liberty, and II
the sons fall, the mothers rejoice that
God has given them the strength to
bear sons for such noble service; but
where is the mother who will rear sons
for dollars and cents to be exchanged
for oriental trade? (Great applause.)
Yet the man who says it will pay has
got to put a pecuniary estimate upon
the lives of American soldiers. He has
got to- tell you how much we are going
to spend in money and how much in
men, and then how much each man Is
worth. I believe in the extension OF
national trade. I want this govern
ment to extend that trade. l want this
nation to have communication with all
the places Of the world. l want this
nation to send forth the products OF Its
toll and supply the needy world every
where, but l would not put one soldier
upon the auction block and trade him
off for all the commerce in the world.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR MONEY.

Scarcity OF money has been great
hardship in many districts, but in
some sections the merchants hava
solved the problem for themselves, in
dependent of government assistance
The courts have been called upon to
decide whether the use Of trading
checks" as they are called, Is in vio-
lation Of the law, and If the decision Is
in favor of the merchants using them
the money question" will be practi-
cally settled so far as they are con-
cerned. These checks are about the
size of a silver quarter. They are
stamped with the name Of the firm for
whom they are made, and bear state
ment that they will be received for
certain amount in trade, the amounts
ranging from cents to 81. Country
merchants use them in exchange for
produce. They are good for trade only
at the store using them. But from the
fact that the stores refuse to pay for
produce in any other currency, they
soon come to be accepted by all other
stores, as the farmers selling the prod
uce have no other coin to spend. In
this way their circulation becomes
general in certain localities. The store
keepers maintain that as they have

WHEN MEN ARE SHOT.
Soldiers Have Widely Different Ways
OF Receiving an Injury.

OF Receiving an Injury.
If you take a dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far as hight,
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance, and wound them
all in precisely the same way, you
will find that scarcely any of them are
affected alike. One man on receiving
a bullet in his leg will go on fighting
as if nothing had happened. He does
not know, in fact that he now con-
tains bullet. But perhaps in two or
three minutes he will grow faint and
fall. Another man, without feeling
the slightest pain, will tremble all
over, totter and fall at once, even
though the wound is really very
slight. A third will cry out in way
to brighten his comrades and will for
get everything in his agony. A fourth
will grow stupid and look like an
idiot. Some soldiers wounded In the
slightest manner will have to be car
ried off the field. Others, although
perhaps fatally injured, can easily
walk to the ambulance. Many die
quickly from the shock to the nervous
system. A very curious case is record
ed in the surgical history of our civil
war, in which three officers were hit at
just the same time. One had his leg
from the knee down carried away, but
he rode ten miles to the hospital. An
other lost his little finger and he be-
came a raving lunatic, while third
was shot through the body and,
though he did not shed drop of blood
externally, dropped dead from shock.

In olden times a tariff on matches
was established in France, in which
the various degrees of wealth neces-
sary for a girl to enter the different
ranks of French society were set down
as follows: A young woman with a
dowry of 1000 to 10000 francs a year
was a match for retail trader, law
yer's clerk or bailiff; dover of r.,
900 entitled one to aspire to dealer in
silk draper, an innkeeper, a secre-
tary to a great lord; one with 10000
francs might look as high as an advo-
cate or a government officer Of con-
siderable rank; one with from 10000
to 100000 francs might hope for
marquis, a president of parliament, a
peer of France, a duke.

WHEN WILL THEY HAVE
ENOUGH?

The Carnegie company made $21 ,000,-
900 last year, and yet Mr.. Carnegie IS
not satisfied. He wishes to get posses
sion of Mr.. Tricks interest for less
than its value The Standard Oil COM
pany has just declared quarterly div
idend of $4,000 900, or at the rate Of
$1,000 900 for the year, and yet its dl-
rectors are not satisfied. They wish
congress to pay subsidies to the ocean
going vessels in whose earnings they
have a share. If there are any other
American corporations whose profits
were $40, 100000 last year or promise to
be $50, 900, 900 this year it may be taken
for granted that the men at the head
of them are no more satisfied than the
Carnegies and the Rockefellers and no
more scrupulous as to the methods Of
their possessions. There seems to be
no limit to the rapacity of corporations
which have been built up at the ex-
pense of the public by excessive tariff
protection, by illegal railroad discrim-
nations or official favoritism. The men
who rule those corporations may not
want the earth" but they certainly
want the United States and the abun-
dance thereof. They and their allies
on land and sea are working at the en-
tire subjugation Of the government, so
that they may add more millions to
their present annual revenues of $780,
100000 in the case of the Carnegie
company and the $SO,0OO,000 in the case
of the Standard OIL They try to put
their creatures in all official places
which touch their interest at any point.
They demand subsidies for their ships.
They insist that the money of the gov
eminent be deposited in banks in
which they are interested, so they may
be able to control the stock markets
and lend to the taxpayers the money
which the latter have contributed to
defray governmental expenses. Their
demands are usually complied with.
There are three things that are never
satisfied; yea, four things say not 1t
is enough" That may have been the
case in the old Hebrew days. Today
there are the Standard Oil company
the Carnegie company the sugar trust
the International Navigation company,
the National City bank, and other CO.
lossal corporations which overshadow
the government itself and are never
satisfied. When will they have enough? |
