GOING AND COMING.

The lead and silver producers of
the Occur d'Alenes are in a sad
way. The gold standard which
dealt the Heath blow to silver has
also dragged down the lead and
copper industry. But this has
not discouraged our republican
friends. They have found a good
excuse, the same old gag, "over
production" In this particular
instance it is noticeable that those
who are the loudest in proclaim
ing this excuse, are the ones who
are keenest in buying up all the
lead, silver and copper prospects
that give any showing at all. This
shows plainly the hidden hand of
the trusts and monopolies, who
work our financial system for pri-
vate profit and who are the only
ones that prosper under the gold
standard. The miners and labor
ers, and middle classes must lie
idle in se,ui-starvation while these
cormorants are hogging the coun-
try, and must continue in idle
ness until these combines are
ready to permit them TO earn an
honest living by the sweat of their
brow.
Wheat, the staple resource of
the west, has ruled at ridicu-
lously low price until quite re-
Gently. Our republican friends
tuned up on the same nerve
wracking, idiotic air, over-pro-
duction, while the granaries were
full in the rural districts and hun
cry mouths were crying for bread
in the cities. Meanwhile the
combines had sifted the situation
and found a small shortage in
Russia and that the prospects
for spring seedlings were hardly
as favorable as last year. They
then rushed into the wheat pit
and by manipulation forced the
price up little. Then our re-
publican friends all but ruined a
lung in yelling prosperity and
singing the praises Of the gold
standard in rag time. The furry
has about run its course, and
wheat is about to drop back to its
old price, when the key will be
changed and the sickening dirge,
''over production" will great our
ears again.
With our republican friends it
is either Providence or the gold
standard, and it is a cold day
when they don't catch the people,
"coming or going" How long
will it continue?

had to. 1t may be depended on
that England is not giving us all
this taffy and soft soap for moth
ing. May not the following reso-
luton, introduced by Represen-
tative Smith of Minnesota, have
something to do with it7
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2r.-Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith of
Minnesota, member of the house
committee on foreign affairs, to-
day introduced a resolution in
structing the state department to
request the British government to
withhold the sentence of death
passed upon Commandant Schee-
pers, who is about to be shot. The
resolution follows:
"Whereas, 1t is officially re-
ported that the British military
authorities in South Africa have
passed and are about to execute
sentence of death upon Comman
dant Scheepers of the army of the
Orange Free State, and
"Whereas, Said Commandant
Scheepers, subject of the Or
ange Free State, was captured
while sick and wounded in the
hospital, and therefore should be
considered especially entitled to
all privileges and exemptions Of
prisoner of war, and
"Whereas, His execution may
lead to acts of retaliation and
roprisal, and thus make more
difficult and distant the PROJECTS Of
peace, and
"Whereas, The whole civil
lied world suffers from the effect
of war waged between any Of the
family of nations, and
"Whereas, The people of the
United States are moved by feel.
ing of humanity in behalf of the
sufferers from the terrible warfare
now being conducted in South At
RIGA, therefore
"Resolved, By the house of
representatives, the senate con-
curing, that the British govern
ment be requested to set aside the
sentence of death passed upon
Commandant Scheepers and to
accord him the customary i'm
munities and privileges of war
guaranteed under the Geneva con-
vention."

TELLER RESOLUTION Is DEAD

Senator Tellar of Colora do
called up his resolution intro
duccd yesterday providing for the
inter IGNITION of the United States
government in behalf Of Comman-
dant Scheepers of the Boer army,
sentenced to death by the British
in Sourh Africa. He explained
that he had introduced the resolu-
ton because his attention had
been directed to what seemed to
be violation of article l and s~of
the Geneva convention.
Since Introducing the resolution.
however, he said he had been
informed by the Associated Pres
that the death sentence on Schee-
pers was executed last SATURDAY..
Several senators, he added, had
criticised him for introducing the
resolution, although he had been
always very careful about intro
ducing bills and resolutions refer
ring to other governments.
''It is said," continued Senator
Teller, "that the resolution might
be offensive to the government
OF Great Britain, but if the Gen
eva convention. to which both
the United States and Great
Britain were parties, means any,
thing, it means that we should
intervene in such case as this.
II this man was captured as stated;
while lying in hospital, Great
Britain in putting him to death is
guilty of vile assassination"
The London dispatches of the
~ contains a sensational story of
England's friendliness to America
during the Spanish war. The
story is to the effect that England
was approached by the Austrian
ambassador, representative of
the joint powers and "sounded"
as to Intervention; that she i'm
mediately declined. The story
goes on to say that Germany and
France were particularly insistent
upon Intervention, but desisted
when England declined TO become
associated with the note. Now
comes Germany with fat denial

of the English statement. Ever
since the outbreak of the war in
the Transvaal, certain of the big
american dailies have teemed
with accounts of England's friend
ly Offices to us during the Spanish
war, and have Haunted them
in the faces of the people, who
have earnestly desired from con-
gress a declaration of sympathy
for the Beers. Official America
has seen to it that there has been
no such expression, to the shame
of the people, and it now tran
spires that England did nothing
for us whatever. What excuse
now has official America to offer
for not living up to American
ideals by declaring American
sympathy for our sister republics
in South Africa? Is it fear? Is
it commercialism3 Or are our
