The SiLrer SlrindLe.

The project to resurrect "the dollar OF
our daddies" and make it full legal ten
der for the discharge Of all private debts
and medium for paying principal and In
terest of the national bonds is little too
steep. Silver as a commodity, has fuc
,uated in value TO the enormous extent o.
twenty-one per cent. within the last three
wears. Until il shall have recovered set
ued value and maintained it for a period
of at least five years it would be flight
of financial lunacy to confer upon 1t the
legal attributes sought to be given 1t by
the silver champions in Congress. The
fundamental requisite for standard OF
value is that il shall be stable, but there i.
hardly commodity which has been
bought and sold in the markets OF ID,
world for the last three years that has un.
dergone such extreme mutations in prlc,
as silver. It's price began to decline ii
1914. but il was not till May, 1873, thai
the change became so marked as TO attract
general attention. For forty years pre-
vious TO 1874. the average price OF silver
in London was God. per ounce, never ris
ius more than 80. above that average moi
falling more than 2 Id. below it. Blu
in July 1876, its price had declined tx
AID. per ounce. The price OF silver h..
since risen. but the dollar Of our daddies'
is still below the value Of gold dollar
1t may sink again when that big bonan
"a, the Comstock lode, Is worked 10 it.
full capacity of production. It's owner
have the strongest of possible motives fo
holding back aud not flooding the silver
market while their powerful lobby is in
triguing to get dishonest silver bill pass
ed through Congress. They are in search
of vast market, and will do nothin.
meanwhile to forfeit the gigantic stake TO
which they are playing. A commodity
which has fuctuated to the enormous ex
tent oftwenty-one per cent within the las
three years cannot honestly be made me

Worse THAN STEALING.-It appears
that Bill Mat.ice, the horse-thief, has
committed crimes much blacker than
thefts OF horses and wagons. Four years
ago he was married in Greene, Chenango
county, New York, to young lady of that
village, while he was driving pedde-
cart for a Binghamton firm. Soon after
wards he ran away taking with him $1,000
of his employers money, and their team.
In 1874 under the name of William Clark,
he turned up in Pennsylvania, and in a
guise of a well-to-do young farmer, after
an acquaintance of three weeks, married
the daughter of rich farmer named Len.
nox. Afterwards under the name of
Love, he married girl in Broome county,
New York, so he has at present three liv-
ing wives. There is no suitable or ade.
quate punishment provided by the laws OF
the country for these black crimes, but
as the law against theft is severe and
pretty well enforced, he will probably be
punished for his repeated robberies.-

Punching out state De6t.

Virginia is not only the mother OF Pres-
idents, but likewise of novel expedients
Having a heavy state debt to be provided
for, principal and interest, they have in
vented the taxation of drinks. That is
not by any means new invention, a.
drinks have been taxed ever since they
we're invented, but the novelty Of the
Virginia specimen is its safety, celebrity
aud certainty" as the mail contracts say.
1t is a method adopted from the horse-car
system, where it was placed 10 make con-
duetors honest, and where, for each fare
paid, the conductor is expected TO punch
out number from card slip, by punch
which sounds a little bell, and registers
within itself the number OF fares. That
is Just what Virginia obliges every bar
keeper to do when he sells drink, aud a
tax is levied on the number sold, Failure
to sound the bell involves, for the first
offence, heavy fine, Of which the iniormer
gets the larger share and for the second
offence the license Is revoked. At stated
intervals a collector goes round, examines
the punch register and collects the tax,
which, we believe, is FIVE cents on each
drink Of alcoholic liquor, and two and a
half cents for the malt variety. 1t is es-
timated that if the business continues
during the year as it has been for the past
three months, Virginia will have an an
nual revenue from this source of several
millions of dollars.
The retail liquor dealers-who, by the
way, have to pay for their punches-wero
at first very much opposed to the law
but are gradually changing their views.
They find that it acts like check on the
bartender, who has heretofore taxed them
on his own account, and also enables them
10 raise the price Of their stimulants, and
abolish the free drink" system altogether.
Placards announcing the last-ment!oned
important fact are hung up in all the
Richmond saloons. The trade, 1t is said,
is not hurt at all by the novel regulation.
The thirsty souls are as numerous as ever
and patronize as literally as ever the
places where the pangs of thirst are
promptly and satisfactorily assuaged. -

Set Oyer .Sleighs.

Mr.. Editor We come again to ask all
to use set-over sleighs and sleds as it is
mole convenient, makes better roads, is
better for turning out and is easier for a
horse when properly set over. 1 weuld
not ask them to follow the example set
by Bethel in setting the sleigh or sled off,
for we sec they draw tbelr sleigh corner
wise, which would act like scraper and
therefore draw hard. The draught should
be so that when you are drawing load
the sleigh would follow the road without
thills. We will give as rule which will
be very near correct, i. e. set your whip
pIetree from the centre of sleigh or sled
but half the distance you set the thills |;
for instance, if you set the thills fourteen
iaches out from centre, SO, your whipple-
tree but seven inches, and then you will
see that the run is as easy as in centre
draught sleigh. A.

Eight OF the locomotive engineers wbo
Joined the strike on the Boston and Maine
Railroad, were last week convicted in the
United States court at Portland, Of con-
spring to obstruct the mails. The pun
ishmeut in each case Is fine from $1,000
to $4,000, and Imprisonment not more
than two years. The offence Is very
grave one, the extent OF which did not en-
Ter into the strikers calculations but the
example will be wholesome The effect
will doubtless be to put a stop to strike:
on mail trains, and as any train may be
made a mail train, to make 4 successful
strike impossible.

Indce Kelly in the North Amer;c

Judge Kelly, in the North American
Review, says, that the people of the
United States have been taxed in the
short period of thirty months, in the de-
struction of the value of property, to the
extent of not less than $4,000, 600, 000!'
The entire personal and real property in
the country is estimated in the last census
to be only $50, 06S,5lS,507. According
to this the whole has been swallowed up
except less than sixty-nine millions. And
it is all due, according to him, to the pro-
posed resumption of specie payments.
1t would be refreshing to see among our
extreme party politicians a resumption of
common sense.
