SILVER.

Bradstreets says that silver's posi-
ton has at last shown more or less
decided degree of improving. Prices
for the metal are firmer, and the de-
cline has apparently been checked
even if there is no immediate pros.
pect of decided or sustained adj
vance. In view of the recent fall in
silver and its effect on the national
finances and external trade of Mex
leo, good deal of attention contin-
ues to be given to the reports that
some action by the Mexican govern
ment is in prospect which will remedy
the difficulties to which silver cur
rency exposes that country, even if
the measures do not take the form of
establishing gold currency basis.
1t would seem that, for the time be-
ing, financial conditions at New
York and the principal European
financial centers preclude the success
full issue of a large gold loan by
Mexico for the latter purpose. At
the same time, the Diaz administra-
ton is disposed to take such steps as
are possible to avert the evils of a
depressed and fuctuating rate of, ex.
change. The proposals recently
by Senior Limantour, the
Mexican Secretary of the Treasury
however, take the form of an adjust
ment of the duties paid on imports
to the prevalent rate of exchange on
New York by means of a sliding
scale, which, he holds, will provide
Tor the loss on exchange the treasury
OF the country suffers in consequence
Of the fall in silver. The scheme is,
It must be admitted, somewhat com
plicated, but the inference would be
that at present, at least, Mexico's
authorities are not disposed to 90 as
ar in the matter as to suggest even
partial demonstration of silver
'hough reports to that effect were
among the causes for the recent
leavy drop in the market price of

NO MORE WIRES.

The most startling and interesting
announcement that comes to us with
the new year is that of Signor Mar
conf, declaring that he has succeeded
IN transmitting complete messages
ACROSS the Atlantic from Glace Bay.
Nova Scotia, to Poldhu, on the coast
OF Cornwall, England. Prior to the
announcement, it appears, Inaugural
tory messages, including one from
the Governor General of Canada to
King Edward VII, were transmitted
and forwarded to England and Italy.
A message to great London journal
was also transmitted in the presence
OF correspondent thereof, and the
receipt of the message has been con-
firmed by the newspaper itself. This
represents marked advance over
the earlier efforts of the inventor. and
his announcement has naturally been
received with the greatest interest
both here and abroad. The time is
apparently in sight when the earth
may be encircled without even the
girdle of Puck.
In this age Of electrical wonders it
seems nothing is impossible. How
ever, the promoters of cable lines
seem to have more faith in the old
system and are proving it by their
works.

much of the peoples products to set
tie it as did the original debt under
the double standard. The scheme
was so smooth and satisfactory to
| those who held the credits that the
nations would like to apply the same
graft to China and make her pay at
each installment of the indemnity a
larger amount of commodities to
settle the bill. At this time if
China were to agree to pay in gold
it would take many more silver taels
at 81 cents to pay the indemnity
contracted in taels at IA cents, like
wise that much more of her products
affected by the price of silver.
China does not propose to submit to
such steals, even if her more civilized
American neighbors do meekly bend
their necks to the yoke of the money
sharks, and has paid in silver III the
same quantity as last July, if we
gather the import of the matter
Alright. 1t is stated that the
nations have reserved the right
payment to cover the decline in
value of silver, but there is nothing
to show that China will yield that
point and we believe she will not
and that the nations will HAYS a
problem on their hands
when it comes to demanding blood
with their pound of flesh. China is
wise and will undoubtedly force the
acceptance of the indemnity in the
end at the terms upon which it was
contracted and not upon harder
terms brought about as a result of
that juggling with the worlds
money to which the people of self
proclaimed wiser nations have sub
mitted like children.

CAN'T BE HELPED.

The destruction of silver made of
the west mere provincial territory
from which the east has been able to
squeeze magnificent royalty while
keeping it down to point where il
would not be troublesome in disput-

the further expert exploitation of the
pockets of the common herd. They

SENATOR DUBOIS
ON FIRING line
Opposing Measures Aimed to
Injure the West.
A special to the Capital News from

A special to the Capital News from
Washington of January End, says:
The most important of all measures
to the west, that is presented il
either branch of the national con
gress is Senator Quarles bill to strike
from the statute books the deserr
entry, and the stone and timber acts
This bill intends to limit the priv.
ledge of utilizing the public domain
to the actual homesteader.
Your correspondent yesterday pro-
cured from Senator T. Dubois. of
Idaho, the following statement rela-
tive to the measure, and Its prospec-
tive future: "This bill is very
sweeping and means to confne the
entries of land to homesteaders
alone. There Is a wonderful move
ment in the direction of those seeking
homes to come to our arid land
country. The laws which have been
secured, through the persistent
efforts of western representatives
makes it as easy as possible for
those who desire to face our diff,
culties; subdue our soil, and make
homes. Any movement to change
these laws should come from the
representatives of the section affected
81, myself, think the various pro-
visions for taking up land now are
satisfactory. Under the new irripa.
tlon bill, we will develop rapidly and
satisfactorily, unless some clog is put
upon our progress. The east. and
more particularly the middle west ia

greatness, under existing conditions.
I'll would be glad to have our
western people protest vigorously
against this contemplated legislation
My colleague, Senator Heitfeld il
a member of the public lands com.
mittee, and l am quite sure he and RI
can prevent any legislation on these
lines during this short session."
Senator Quarles is from the state
OF Wisconsin. This is one of the
states of the middle west to which
the senator refers in his CHARGE Of
jealousy. The passage of the
Quarles' repeal measure would-in

HEATHENS ARE STUBBORN.

The second installment of the
Chinese indemnity to the nations has
just been paid, and on silver basis
China had been notified that she
must pay in gold notes, but when the
Celestial empire answered back that
they would take silver or nothing
there was graceful backdown and
the silver was accepted. When
emma accepted the indemnity obhga-
ton payable in Chinese taels, the
taels was worth IA cents. Uuder the
assassination Of that metal as basic
money and the making of a simple
commodity of what is by natural
right as royal metal as gold the
steady decline in the silver market
makes the tael worth 81 cents. Way
back, prior to 1873, there we're vast

individually under conditions which

the rate we are paying under our
beautiful monopoly system for
every piece of iron or steel we are
compelled to buy, it is hard to realize
that such an army in just one country
cannot get living work In the iron
trade. For one thing the American
people are paying two prices, through
the tariff graft, in order that the
steel trust can place its surplus in
Europe at one-half what it gets at
home; and that after paying the
freight across the water. Things
would be regulated little better if
our bloated steel barons were allowed
to shift on legitimate lines. There
might be no million dollar salaries,
but they would not be able to make
home consumers pay for iron pro-
ducts used in Europe in addition to
what we use ourselves; and this also
might permit the iron trader over
there to do business and incidentally
give few poor devils a job. But

HISTORIC STRUCTURE
ON CLEARWATER
Oldest Building in the State
of Idaho.

A special from Spaulding to the
Lewiston Teller of the ,26th inst,
says:
This week witnesses the passing
away of building located on the
banks of the Clearwater river near
Spaulding, around which gathers q
number of Idaho's earliest and most
important historical events. 1t Is a
structure made of tamarack logs, Z
feet high. On each side is fire.
place made of cobble- stones and
mud. For number of years the
roof has been torn off and the win
dows and doors have been gone, but
the logs still stood, silent witnesses
of the events of the past-the re-
mains of the oldest building in Idaho.
Soon after the memorable party
of adventures, led by Lewis and
Clark, passed down the Clearwater
river, the United States sent Cap
tain Game to make treaty with the
Nez Perez Indians. On reaching the
present site of Spauldlng, he and his
aids hewed and put in place the first
four logs Of the building and from
that time 1t was known as the old fort
and agency building.
When Rev. H. H. Spaulding took
charge OF the mission here in 1886
the sides of the building were raised |
to seven logs and used for church
and dwelling.

missionaries of the Sandwich islands.
