Tho examination OF the 1iatoTy OF the act
Of 1873, discontinuing tho silver dollar Of
4124 trains as tho unit Of values and tho
prohibition Of ita future coinnge, docs not
diHctoRo hny substantial reason why such
action took place, Tie bill did not originate
IN Congress It wag the work Of outsiders
those who sought tho establishment Of a
single standard, and that Of gold. At tho
time the act was considered in tho House, in
the epring Of 1879, 1t was then statod TINT
tho silver dollar was worth 103 In gold.
Why 1t was demonetized does not appear Of
record, and thore is no reason that can bo'
urged why it should not be remonetizod. It
must ba borne in mind that while gold aud
silver coins were both logal.toude1s from
1902, the Bifyerdollar was tho unit OF value,
and continued to be 80 until 1878, when the
gold dollar was substituted Tho bill passed
through tho two Houses with comparatively
no dobate, without any explanation or reason
for tho change, and evidently without any
knowledge by tho molnbers generally Of
either House Of the purpose or etroot
of the bill. It was Qua Of those
blunlers or ovcrsighta in legislation which
aro common IN our history. just ut tho tin,o
this bill passed, tho attention OF tho men,
bors of the two IIouses was ongrosHsd with
tho schomn to tsko from tho Treasury st, 600

silver dollar was demonetized, tho unit of
value changed, md the single gold STANDARD
established, and tie members as body knew
nothing about it. Several timea in tho lis-

Tho most interesting news from the Ir,rko.
servian campaign now contres In and about
RoumRnin. Indications havo not been want.

crful principally might make common cause

sontcd 10 ths Porto, 80 far as territorial &C.
quisition WINS concerned, was not accepted,
and could not lave been, without involving
IN unreasonable concession, by the Turkish
point OF Wow at least. Tho Great Powers,
also, with tho exception Of Rusaia, pro-
nounced the ultimatum unreasonable, but
tho tacit acqulescenca Of Russia was sufi.
cicntly encouraging To the Roumanians to
warrant them in mob1lizing their army. Rou-
mania, in reality, would never tako atep
e1oapt as advised by Russia and, II tho
newu be true that her troops arc alroady on
tho frontier, then the threat Of Austrin to
occupy scryia if the War is not ended in q
fortnight, is more than offset by this now
move on the bonrd which has been made by
Russia. If, ns is stated, 1soumanin has 2j,.

What has become OF thu $l00, GOO, 000:-Chttogo
Times.
Tho navy from 1917 to 1861 consisted Of
somo 30 wooden sailing vessels, and a ha1f-a-
dozen wooden ships propelled by steam.
There was not fratclass man-of.war in the
lot. They wero mostly old tubs in various
stages OF decay; a majority were too rotten
and leaky to vonture out of hight Of shore.
Such was tho shameful condition in whicl,
tho Domocrats turned over tho navy to tile
Republicans in 1851, when they won't into
tho Rebellion. This worthless navy had
cost tho country in gold $50, 1868 within
the years named.
After the Republicans came into powor
they were obliged to create new navy. The
old wooden sailing vessels wero Of little or
no service, as they could neither pnrsue,
fight, or escape from the Rebel rams, iron
clails and steam var vessels, built for them
by the British or by themselves. Tho iron-
clad war craft devised by Capt. ERICSSON and
Capt. EADs, and built by ths Republicans,
royolutionized naval architecture. There are
doublo-turzoted monitors now in our navy,
ono Of which could sink in combat the
entiro wooden sailing navy turnod over to
tho Republicans in 1861, md which cost
$12, ,000, 900 q year in gold to support, al
though utterly worthless either for offensive
or defensive purposes ugainst iron.clad ships
Tho Confederate electionoering report
which tho Times indorses states that our
present navy consists Of only III vessels, Of
war. We snbmit that this, il not m In
significant number. Tho larger part are
steamships, and thirty or forty DIRE iron-claas.
The fighting power Of tho present navy is
twonty times greatar than that Of tho Demo-
cratic navy Of 1901. It is not claimed that
wo have armorod ships Of tho vast size aud
power OF tho now iron.clads which Great
Britain has CONSTRUCTED. Thcso cost four or
five millions apiece but 1t has not yet becn
demonstrated that. they can go on cruise.

The Dry Dock.

|, Major Terrell, of Detroit. who has as
the readers of the TRIBUNE are aware,
been looking into the feasibility of estab-
fishing dry dock here, informed us dur
ing his late visit to this place, that the
project is by no means dead. He had ex-
pected parties to have come up here with
him and look the ground over. but sick
ness had prevented. He thinks that there
is no doubt but that some of the parties
with whom he has been talking will make
the place visit in the spring, and make
careful examination Of the location, by
sounding and otherwise, and see what the
citizens of this place will do to secure
such an establishment. The Major says
that the plan he advanced, to food the
dock with water from the dam, has met
with favor from all before whom he has
laid the plan. He feels confident that
such dock will be the cheapest, and
much superior to one made upon the old
plan. We are certain that this enter
prise, if headed by Major Terrell, will meet
with all the encouragement necessary
from our citizens.

Advantage of Patent Papers.

On the Dist of February, the Beebe
block, at Alpena, embracing three stores,
was burned, with net loss above insur-
ance of about $4,000. The Alpena Pho
neer, sthe largest paper printed on the
Shore" the Friday following gave an ac-
count of the fire. The Pioneer is printed
upon the ''patent bowel" system, which
accounts for its large size. The advanta-
ges of this system were shown in its is
sue of March Sd, two weeks after the
fire, when upon its patent side was the
following item:
1.-The Beebe block at Adrian was
burned on the Dist; loss $4,000; insur-
ance $6,500."
1t must have been somewhat of sur
prise to the readers of that journal to as
certain couple of weeks after the fire
in their home paper that they probably
had no fire at all, and that they had for
years been laboring under hallucina-
ton that Alpena possessed a Beebe block,
when, i'm fact, it must have been in
Adrian all the time.

Arrest of a County Treasurer.

John Larkin, for 10 years County
Treasurer of Midland, and who recently
failed in business, with heavy liabilities,
has been arrested for embezziing the peo-
pies money. The dedication for 1875 is
placed at $4,000. He waived examina-
ton and gave bail in the sum of $4,000
to appear at the next term of the Circuit
Court. He is Republican in politics.
His bonds are said to be ample. This
news was not unexpected in Lansing, for
there had been committee from the
Board of Supervisors of Midland county
at work several days in the Auditor Gen
erals office securing data in regard to the
accounts of that county. Suppose the

officers, how much could be ascertained

The Sault Canal.

The opinion which we expressed last

navigation, is likely to prove correct,

some parties to the contrary, as the fol-

This information will be great relief

toned last week, that probably naviga-
ton would be seriously impeded by the
accident to the Golfer dam.
