Republican, Organs

It is. reported that Republican newspapers
will be established without delay in the towns
of Anderson, Edgefeld, Lexington and Union,
and that the day is not distant when there will
be Republican journal in every county IN the
State. We do not know the parties connected
with the projected enterprise for Anderson, and
cannot express an opinion as to their ability to
"do Justice to the subject" which the Columbia
az;o,i. Herald seems to think the newspapers
now published in Andersen are incapable OF
doing. The bare thought suggested by our
contemporary renders US very unhappy, and we
shall take to dnnking-ice water as beverage.

AT the National Agricultural Cong,

AT the National Agricultural Congress,
which recently met at Indianapolis there were
tweenty-four States represented, embracing
ninety agricultural societies. According to the
report of the Secretary, there are already 10000
agricultural associations in the country, with
an aggregate membership of 100000 farmers,
and it appears that two thirds of these associa-
tions have been organized during the past year.
The question of cheap transportation was
the most important one discussed by the Con-
gress, and the proceedings were not character
lied by any demonstrations of political char
acter.

A Washington correspondent of the New

"A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says that Senator Kelley and
Congressman Wilson, of Oregon, will insist
that all the Indians against whom indictments
have been found by the Oregon courts shall be
given up to the civil authorities of that State
for trial. Last November, just previous to
Captain Jack and his tribe taking refuge in
the lava beds, they murdered some twenty Ore
gon settlers in the neighborhood of Lost river.
1t is for these crimes that the Governor of
Oregon has demanded their rendition.

A Japanese Execution.

The London Times has received from
correspondent the following account Of
japanese execution Il went TO see
an execution at Yeddo out of a vile cur
iosity. | repented of it, but still it was
most extraordinary spectacle, and in-
pressed me very much. The culprits
were eight in number, one being wo
man. They we're all beheaded with a
sword. The operation was performed
with wonderful dexterity and cooluess
aud not one of them, even the women,
showed the slightest symptom of lear
There was space of ground roped of
inside were three holes dug in the ground,
with a little mound behind each, on which
was spread mat for the criminal to kneel
on. On one side Of the inclosure were
two japanese officials, 10 chairs, to see
the thing properly conducted | had
place directly in front Of the mounds, at
about six feet distance. The criminals
were placed in a row on one side Of the
inclosure, blind folded with pieces of pa
per Chey use paper for everything there)
What struck me most was the horrd
GOODNESS of the cxecutioner's assistant,
good looking lad of about eighteen He
went up to each poor wretch in his turn,
gave him tap on the shoulder, led him
up to the mound aud made him kneel
on the mat he then stripped his should
ers, made him stretch out his neck, said
"That will do" and in flash the mans
head was in the hole in front of him. and
his bleeding neck was, as it were, staring
me In the face. The assistant, still with
the same pleasant smile, picked the head
up, threw some water over the face to
wash of the blood and mud, and presnted
it to the japanese officials, who nodded
aud signed to 80 on with the next the
assistant then gave the corpose blow be
tween the shoulders to expel the blood,
aud finally threw the carcass aside like
log of wood He then repeated the same
pleasant programme with tie next.
never thought mans head could come
off so easily; it was like chopping cab
bages, only accompanied with peculiar
aud most horried sound-that of cutting
meat, in fact. There was dense crowd
of japanese present, including many We
men and even children these people
never ceased to eat, smoke, and chatter
the whole time, making remarks on the
performance, and even occasionally laugh
ing, just as if they were at theatre.
The executioner poured water on his
sword between each decapitating, as one
vets knife in order to cut india ubber.

Caring for a Passenger.

a well known Philadelphia went to
fittsourgh, few days ago, and when
he entered the sleeping car he thought
struck him that he might get to walking
about during the night while asleep, as
he was something of somnambulist and
walk OF the platform into better world.
SO he went to the brakeman and gave
hiE dollar, with strict instructions that
if he saw him walking around the car in
his sleep, to seize him aud force him back
at all hazards Then the PhiladeInh;,n
turned in, and soon his reverbera,ing
snore echoed the screech of the locomo,;re
About two o'clock Loomis awoke. and az
the air of the car seemed sitting. he
determined to 60 on the platform for
fresh breath or two. Just as he got to
the door the brakeman saw him, grasped
him, and held him down When the
Philadelphia recovered his breath, he
Indignantly exclaimed, What do you
mean Let me up, [ tell you am as
wide awake as you are" But the brake
man put another knee on his preast, and
insisted that the man was asleep, aud then
he called another brakeman, and after a
terrific struggle, during which the uu-
iortunte received bumps aud blowes
innumerable, the railroad man, iammed
him into berth, put a trunk and eight
carpet bags on him, and then sat on him
to hold him down until morning. The
first thing the Philadelphia asked for
when he arrived in Pittsburgh was a
respectable hospital where they cured
the temporarily insane He thinks his
reason was partially dethronei by his
efforts to comprehend how that brake
man could have the face to ask for an
other dollar because of the trouble he
gave him during the night.

The Value of Gold and Silver

Many people have great desire to
know the value Of gold and silver in bulk,

lowing from Professor j. l. Schirmer,
Superintendent Of the Branch Mint in
this city, and it may be relied upon as cor
rect The fneness of Colorado gold and
the calculation of values on gold and sill
yer are also given. 1t is a matter of con
siderable value, and should be cut out
and preserved
One ton (2,000 pounds avoirdupis) OF
gold or silver contains %, l63 troy ounces,
and, therefore, the value of ton of pure
gold is $500, 1921, and of ton of sill
yer, s37,7O4s4.
A cubic foot of pure gold weighs l.
2lS75 pounds avoirdupois cubic foot
of pure silver weighs Csc % pounds

One million dollars gold coin weighs
3,685.S pounds avoirdupois 81 900, 200
silver coin weighs So, ,9299 pounds avoir-
dupois.
If there is one per cent of gold or sill
yer in enc ton of ore, it contains 29l .6S
ounces, troy, of either of these metals
The average fneness of the Colorado
gold is 7S1 in l 900, and the natural al.
10y; gold 7sl, silver 209, copper 10; to
tai. 1000.
The calculations at the mint are made
on the basis that 43 ounces of sta udard

A German Sunday.

The Germans idea of Sunday is any
thing but Puritanic. 1t is the very oppo
site. 1t is for them day of amusement.
1t is no unusual thing to be asked by
German on Mouday morning, "Well, how
did you amuse yourself yesterday 7"
There are those among the German, Of
course, who respect aud keep the Sab
bath /; but then there arc always enough
of them who do not and to judge by the
numbers 10 which they frequent their
places of amusement on Sunday-the
parks, beer gardens. and public halls-a
stranger might possibly be tempted to in
quire whether the Germans had any idea
OF Sabbath Men, women and child
rem, old men with their wives, and young
er ooes with their sweethearts, throng
these places evcry Sunday, and enjoy
themselves, careless Of what impression
they make on their fellow citizens of
American origin, TO whom the sound of
brass instruments on the Sabbath air is
anything but welcome or edifyiug. In
the cold days of winter, when the parks
and beer gardens are dreary and shcrn of
their beauty, the German seeks amuse
ment 10 some hall instead. Here he treats
himself to compound Of rather hetero-
genous elemeuts-to music, beer and
smoke aud to all Of them at once. Any
Sunday afternoon in the cold of winter, you
may End him, with his wife or child, or
both, in some large hail. one ola hundred

Why Silver is Coming Into Use.

The much excited question of re-
sumption of payments in silver coin by
the Treasury, and of the possibilities of
its general distribution again into the
pockets of the people, makes interesting
at this time statement of the present
comparatively low value of silver, and its
abundance at this time. 1t is generally
known that silver having been recently
denomitized in Germany, large amount
has thereby been released to supply the
regular drain of this metal in India-tbe
point Of ultimate absorption. The sum
released for this purpose largely exceeds
the required supply to the East this year,
and under the conditions of trade exist
ing between Great Britain aud the Indies
consequently the demand in the London
market has lessened in sensible degree.
The price has there receded two or four
pence per ounce, and the exploration from
the Unitdd S,ates-the point of general
supply-has almost ceased. The produc
ton of our mines has, at the same time,
more than doubled even the production
of Mexico has again reached the largest
figures attained during the greatest de
veopment Of its mines under old Spanish
proprietors-S20,0 100000 annually-and
notwithstanding an increased consump
tion of the metal by our manufacturers,
to the extent OF about twenty per cent,
the quantity on the markets in the shape
of bars, or uucoined, is larger than the
dealers can manage, and in excess of the
present means OF the banking interest to
carry. As consequence, the price here
is to some extent nominal. and has been
mentioned at less than the stated value
of the greenback dollar. This, in part,
is correct but more positive is the fact
that in the crude condition at the mines
throughout Utah, Colorado, and Nevada,
where it lies in immense and, we may say,
innumerablc heaps, it Gao be bought at the
rate of about eighty eents currency for
an ounce cf standard fneness, or equiva
lent to about fifty eight cents on the dol
lar of paper, without allowance of the cost
of transportation, refining, and coinage.
