England's Gold Supply
Running Low

It is interesting to note at this
time, that England is seriously
threatened with a panic; and the
Investors Review ascribes this to
an attempt to carry a high rate of
interest, too long. The same con-
ditions seem to prevail that we had
in this country a few years ago,
and yet political economists attrib-
ute it to entirely different olu5e
Their immens gold supply is di-
minishing and there seems to BE-
no means of preventing it. Al
though w9 have been led to sup
pose that England had the perfect
monetary system. But it is just
barely possible that there are other
things that effect, either ben9fci-
ally or otherwise, beside govern
mental policies, as seems indeed to
be indicated in this instance, when
considered in the light of our own
experience. Within a few years
countries having opposite policies
! in regard 10 tariff have the same
1 experiences in prices of products; ;
and those having the gold stand
ard. or using silver alone or who
use both metals, have like exper-
fences with their finances. If these
were the only things that affected
prices or brought about. certain
conditions, then those countries
having opposite policies in regard
to tariff and monetary standards
would not, and could not, have ex-
aetly the same experiences; but
if one had high prices, the other
would have low prices, and if gold
accumulated in the treasury of
the one the treasury of the other
would be depleted Of its gold.

No More Strikes in the
Australian Isles.

1t is claimed that the people Of
Australasia have been able to frame
a law that has. so far. prevented a
single strike since it went into
force. And it is hoped that the sol
ution of this great problem pre-
sented during the closing years Of
the nineteenth century has been
reached. If it works so satisfactc-
rily in that country it might be in
order for us once more TO pattern
after those people, as we have al
ready done in the balloting system
borrowed from them. OF course
we have the best government and
the most intelligent people, but
that docs not signify that they
may not do some things even bet
ter than we do. as we have already
practically acknowledged by adopt
ing their voting system.
The labor question is one of 50
much concern to the people that it
should be considered entirely us
on its merit and by every patriotic
citizen; aud any means that can
be employed that tends to bring a
bout a better relation between en-
ployer and employed should be
favored / regardless of where it
GENES from or who advocates the
remedy. OF course there may be,
and probably is. features of the
Australian laws which would need
to be eliminated and perhaps new
phases of the question would pre-
sent themselves to deal with in
suitable Legislation to meet our re.
quirements, but it can not be pos
sible that the more progressive
people and government will neces-
sarily fail in matter that has
been successfully dealt with by the
less enlightened and intelligent.

Mr.. Brown who lives below the city

churning is done. But why stop
with the churning. Lets have a

the thing to the sewing machine
and the editors quill and the
black smiths hammer and it might
be hooked onto the farmers pitch

A Lonesome LAWYER.

There is but one lawyer in the
Idaho house of representatives and
yet strange as it may seem there
appears to be ability enough to
transact any amount of business.
That is about proper representa-
ton and yet it has usually been
the custom to have Legislative bod
les made up of lawyers almost en-
tirels, A lawyer is just as good a
man as a rule. as a farmer or mer-
chant, or even an editor, but he
does not represent the farmer nor
yet the merchant aud he usually
keeps out of sight of the editor as
much Of the time as possible. es-
pecially when engaged in politics
or acting in official capacity.
Hence he represents. himself Us
ually and the Idaho Statute book
bears evidence Of this'fact. Repre-
sentatives should be, from among
the people and must be to repre-
sent them.

A THIRTY GENT WOOL YARN.

Our Republican friends are hav-
ing "troubles of their own" now
about the wool business and occa-
sionally we hear of some one get.
ting salivated on account of his
enthusiastic Republicanism. For
Instance, Allison w. Snyder, a
prominent farmer living about three
miles from town, is just now suffer
ing with severe attack of insom-
MIA caused by woody nightmare
that keeps him awake at night.
During the last campaign he was in
town strenuously advocating Nc
kinley's re-ele ction and tackled a
well known Democratic farmer on
the wool question, first declaring in
his enthusiasm that il Mckinley
was elected wool would be worth
dollar pound. Then he "came
down a cat or two" and insisted
that 1t would not possibly be less
than SO cents per pound, but his
Democratic neighbor proposed to
sell him all his wool this year at 30
cents per pound, which Snyder en-
Enthusiastically agreed to and the
bargain was made. The Demo-
cratic farmer had large clip last
year, for which he was offered az
cents, but refused to sell, and held
1t over for 50 cents this year. When
he got his clip ready for market
this year he had about 1000 pounds
all told and sacked it up and sent
a load to Snyder with the word
that it was already for delivery,
1000 pounds, which at 30 cents
would amount to 5000, but that he
was in no hurry for the money,
which Snyder could pay at any
time. The man called Snyder out
to know where he should unload
the wool, and explained who sent
it, and how much there was etc.
Snyder got wild at once and de-
clared he never bought any wool at
so cents or any sother old price;
wasn't in the wool business this
year and didn't propose to take it
etc. The man insisted on bring
ing all the wool and said he didn't
know anything about it, only what
his employer had told him, but
Snyder got wrothy and ordered
him off and was So worked up over
it that he is still in a bad condition
this hot weather and dog DAYS
coming on, bur the way of the
Republican wool buyer just now is
hard.

The papers report a good frog

children had a pet frog in the cellar
at home and fed it most anything
they could get hold of. Their
father was a contractor and left
some dynamite in the cellar. The
children found it and thought it
was putty and fed a lot Of it to the
frog, who had no more sense than
to swallow IT, Then the kids play.

down on the frog and caused a ter

The County Levy this year is
only SO cents after all, much better
than was expected considering the
heavy expenses the county will have
to meet, about So, 900 for small box
and SEQ, 200 for the Rowlesburg
bridge, in addition to the regular
expenditures which are heavy any
how. This is only an increase of
S cents in the levy, yet, the Court
claims it will pay all appropriations
and possibly leave little surplus.
If 1T does, no one should raise any
kick because il was expected that
the levy would have to go to the
top notch, about a dollar, or else
carry over part of the indebtedness
until next year.
