General JEWELS head rolled from the

monious proceeding. The President
simply kickeG hsm out without cause
or explanation. The leading Admins
tration organs are, Of course, shocked
about the matter, but that
amounts to nothing. President Grant
seems to ignore sll Of tho little rroprie-
ties and c~ourtesies of official position,

Under this caption the Gold Hill
NesOs hes the annexed regarding the
status Of silver with reference to the
Constock: nconsidering this ques
ton practically We must remember
that here On the great ore belt our bull.
lion bars contain on an average one
halt gold. Gold Ii the most valuable
metal known; and q such, will always
maintain . fixed standard Of value.
There can be 20 depreciation to that.
Silver, too, as the next important
metal, must always find . market
somewhere. There are many coun-
tries now where it sells at par. In our
own land II will always he used in the
coinage Of fractional money. We can
not conveniently coin half.dolla-s,
quarters or dimes from gold. Taking
all these things into consideration, and
remembering that our bullion bars will
average one-half, we shall still retain
thre8 quarters of the value of every
bar. This will allow us Q fair margin
for profit; enough to keep up the rep
utatiou of this section rs the weAlthiest
and most prosperous in the world"

The Origin Of the Alarming Malady
That is Frightening Washing ton.

-
washington Telegram, i9th.]
Throat.rot is what some of our learned
doctors call the disease that so afflicts
Congress just at this time. We have had
fourteen Of them, Fernando Wood and
Sunset Cox included, down with this ma.
lignant disease within week. And it
was not at all comforting to be told by
the Washington press that two of these
Congressman came very near dying. And
then there was touch of true innocence
that favored of Boss Shepherd in the
theory set forth by these lively Wash
ington newspapers that all this throat
rot among Congressman was caused by
the presence of the uncleanly negroes
who daily infest the galleries of the
House Of Representatives.
We must look beyond Sambo and into
our costly sewers for the cause of all this
dangerous wickedness. These malignant
throat diseases, with pneumonia, diphthe'
ria, and what closely resembles very
bad type Of ship fever, Washington has
been seriously afflicted with for several
weeks. They are not confined to the
Capitol and congressman, but prevail to
an alarming extent all over the city.
Many who were not in the Capitol this
winter have been victims to it; some Of
them havedied.
