THE DEGRADATION OF SILVER.

The Gold Ring is again in the sad
die. And 1t is prepared for a more
vigorous and a more all-including
campaign against the interests of The
People and in behalf of the Shylocks
than ever before.
The Hill bill in the House, for in
stance, has for its avowed object, as
stated by Mr.. Hill himself, to get en-
tirely rid of the silver dollars now ex-
listing and to prevent any more from
ever being coined. In fact the Eastern
gold standard press urged that the bill
will not wipe out these dollars quick
enough.
In writing upon this subject, ex-
Congressman Bartine recently declar-
ed:
The characterization of silver
vas the most insensate and cruel
legislative act that ever took place
in the United States. 1t was a
body DOW at our national pros
perity. Every line of productive
industry felt it, and for years
we were literary w%allowing in the
slough Of despond. That we nave
finally struggled out of it and
measurably adjusted ourselves to
the gold Standard is owing partly
to our vast resi- hes, but mainly
to the greatngold discoveries in
Corfb Afrioo fto I<IondiEn Irip-
pie Creek and other places. By
the providence OF God we have
been partially saved from the
consequences of most unwise and
iniquitous legislation, intended to
limit the money supply in the in
terest of e-e money lending and
fixed income classes.
Bartine also very strongly points
out that after the defeat of free coin
age for a Cme the bankers commenced
to lay plans whereby the banks could
issue more notes; and, in fact, the
circulation of the banks has been in
creased considerably more than $780,
000, 600 during the last two years.
Commenting thereon, Bartine says:
The bankers are nowise averse
to imitation if they can realize the
prolt on the Initiating. Now, when
they think free coinage is disposed
OF they want to dstroy $500, 000,-
600 or 5000, 600. 600 in silver, Il
replace them with bank notes is
sued On the security of their gem
eral assets. Such has been the
attitude of the gold men, and it
10 hard to upon it fit
tingly without .ov~erstepping the
proprieties of speech.
not see that this Hill bill is simply the
most forward measure yet proposed
to put the Government and The Peo-
pie at the mercy of the National
Banks; to, in plain English, relegate
the Government to the position of a
financial agent for the further enrich
ment of a syndicated gang of Shylocks
who are supported and made rich by
The People and then, with the aid of
Congress, turn around and rob their
Ueators and benefactors.
If the principle of this Hill bin were
to be applied to two men on a small
scale, it would be called pocket-pick-
ing.
AS 1t is on a Millionaire gauge, and. a
Government and its people are being
squeezed, it is termed National fnan-
Notwithstanding Bee.

the case, its entirly proper to discuss
the best method of procedure.
The Republican believes the ques.
ton of issuing bonds for the purpose
should again be submitted to a vote
OF the people. This could he done at
the regular election this fall. After
the vote is taken there will be plenty
OF time to range all the necessary
details before the frost goes out Of the
ground in the spring. One detail will
be to secure from the Union Pacific a
Quitclaim deed to all its right. title and
interest in and to the present water
works. There is no question but that
the company will Quitclaim in consid-
Grafton of a perpetual supply. That is
what it has title to now and that is
what it has a right to demand of the
city in case it r%elinQuishes that title.
Pending the election. it would be
well for the leading taxpayers of the
city to carefully discuss the matter
from all its varied standpoints. in or
der that the people may be fully advis-
ed Of h action about to he taken.

Near C%offeyville, Kan. a straw stack
heavily laden with snow fell over on
a COW that was feeding from 1t. The

she had been killed and 80 he made

finding the COW very much alive with

NO VALID

The Chicago Record Herald. in con
Guiding an editorial upon the subject
of irrigation and reclamation of west.
ern arid lands. has this to say:
There is little doubt that public
sentiment would as readily approve OF
an extensive plan OF irrigation for these
vast desert areas to be carried out by
the government as it now assents to
the expenditure OF millions for the i'm.
prOvement of rivers and harbors. Be.
sides. the return would be more direct
and certain"
And why should it not. pray?
The Improvement Of rivers and har.
bors is not an unimportant matter. to
be sure. 1t contributes largely to the
prosperity of local interests OF consid.
cradle magnitude.
But the reclamation of the country's
arid lands would provide homes and
comfortable living for an additional
population greater than that of the
whole United States today.
The improvement of rivers and har
bors. as the Record-Herald observes
costs the people millions Of dollars an.
nually.
The reclamation of arid lands, under
the provisions of the bill now before
congress, would cost the people practi
cally nothing. Proceeds OF the sale OF
lands improved are to pay for theil
improvement.
Where, then, can there be any valid
objection to the plan?
What possible excus can there be
for failure to pass the arid land bill?-

Yesterday The Republican publish.
ed a communication from Citizen" in
relation to the recent tragedy at Blu
ford station. 1t is very easy to criti.
else the action of individuals or ever
OF public officials. provided the ammu.
milton is discharged from a masked
battery. with a newspaper acting as
gunner This paper believes the ac-
ton of the county authorities in not
causing arrests after the tragedy had
been enacted was entirely in keeping
with sound judgment. No one will say
that there was any criminal intent on
the part of the railroad men at Buford
and in the absence Of criminal intent
it is more than probable that &C
ton against the parties would only
result in needless trouble. annoyance
and great expense to the county. Such
cases seldom, II ever, result in convic.
ton. The fact hat the party killed
was a colored nan cuts no figure in
the case. and the mention of it is mere,
ly an appeal to prejudice. The truth
about the matter is that the men who
were endeavoring to arrest the negroes
at the time the shooting took place
thought they were acting in the inter.
ests of law and justice. There "a nc
feeling Of murder in their hearts.
That a man was killed was extremely
unfortunate. but to now cause the ar
rest and trial of the men who made
the great mistake would simply be ad-
ding to our misfortunes. In law they
may have committed a crime: in fact
were innocent.

STATE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION

We, the undersigned, unite for the
purpose of calling a meeting to organ
ize a State Forestry association, to be
held at Cheyenne, May goth, 1902, at
the capitol building. state library
room. at 2 p. m.
We would make the following sug-
gestions and ask the cooperation Of
county, municipal and school officers
in carrying them out.
Acting Governor Chatterton has
named April 25th as Arbor day. Now
let us all join heartily in the exercises
of that day and in addition to planting
trees discuss the subject OF organizing
a State Forestry association. The peo-
pie of any school district, town or
county, who. after discussing the mat
ter, favor a state association should.
on Arbor day, elect delegates to attend
the state meeting. The state univer-
sity will be entitled to as many dele
gates as there are professors Of the
various departments. Every school
district as many as there are teachers
employed. Each town or city govern,
ment should appoint five and each
board of county commissioners name
three at large from their respective
counties.
There are two grand purposes to be
secured by a State Forestry associa-
ton. The first is the planting Of new
forests In every available locality and
the caring for the trees planted. The
second is the protection n preserva.
ton Of our native forests to the end
that they may better serve the ever
increasing wants of the people.
