Under the above heading we, last
week, referred to the fact that the ed
itor of The Banner had refused to issue
Il supplement with his paper contain
ing the card of j, II. Gaut-claiming
that the postal laws would not admit Of
it. No one but ourselves are responsible
for what we said-ncither Mr.. Gaut
nor his friends or enemies ever limited
;hc matter to us. We said what we did
because we believed that prejudice was
the cause of the refusal. But ifthe ed
itor was honest in his opinions, then
he is eXcusablc. But we don't see how
any one could construe the postal law
in any such way. 1t gives every news
paper the privilege Of printing supple
ments provided that supplement is
printed at its own Office and is headed
Supplement- The facts Of the case
are these; One of Mr.. Gaut's friends
came to us on Wednesday evening af-
ter the forms Of our paper were full
and closed, and wanted the card insert
ed; we could not ct that late hour in
scrt it, but told him we could print Il
supplement and send it out next morn
ing In the regular issue.

Dangers in India.
NINETEEN THOUSAND PERSONS PERISH
ING FROM SNAKES AND WILD AMI
MAILS IN A SINGLE YEAR

NINETEEN THOUSAND PERSONS PERISH
ING FROM SNAKES AND WILD AMI
MAILS IN SINGLE YEAR.
A resolution of the Government of
India, Simla, November IL, on the results
of the measures adopted to exterminate
Wild animals and venomous snakes in
British India in 1870, says.
Last year q 900 persons and 1000
head of cattle were destroyed by wild
animals and venomous snakes; 9, ,357 wild
animals and 270.1S5 venomous snakes
were killed, and 0,0l5 rs. had been ex-
pended in rewards. This year 1913 per-
sons and $3.50 head of cattle have so
perished; 212,311 snakes and 23459 wild
animals have been killed, and 1854 rs.
have been expended in rewards. In
Madras, Bengal, and in the Northwestern
Provinces and Oudh, the numbers of per-
sons killed by wild animals and by snakes
were considerably less in 1877 than in
1870. In the other provinces the figures
do not exhibit any great variations, ex-
cept in the central provinces, where
deaths rose from 6l7 in 1875 TO LOIS in
1876. The Chief Commissioner states
that no new or special measures have
been adopted for the determination of
wild animals and snakes, but there is no
explanation of the greater mortality
shown in his returns.
AS regards the loss of cattle the figures
OF the year seem unsatisfactory. While
Madras and Bombay show fewer cattle
killed, Bengal the Northwestern Pro-
yinces, and Oudh, the Punjah, the Cen
tral Provinces, and British Bermah show
materially larger numbers. 1t is also
probable that even the figures now re-
ported are only approximate to the
| truth, as the agency for reporting the
| mortality, caused to men and cattle is
still imperfect, though more perfect than
1t used to be. The unfavorable figures
testify possibly to better reporting, and
not to really greater mortality. AS re.
CARDS rewards paid for the destruction OF
wild animals including snakes), more
was paid in Madras, Bombay, Bengal, the
: northwestern Provinces, and Oudh, the
Central Provinces and British Bermah
and less in the Punjah and in ASSAM
| The Government of India trust that In
future years the returns may be more ac
cnrate and may be reviewed by the loca
| Governments which submit them, and
that the measures reported may be more
effective.
Appended to this resolution is the fol
lowing statement showing the results o.
the measures adopted in British India
with the view OF exterminating the wilt
animals and venomous snakes during the
year 1876:
Number of persons killed by elephants
80; tigers, 9l7; leopards, 1856; bears, 123

If CONGRESS has the power to make
412l grains of silver equal with gold
dollar, 1t has the power to make 200
grains the same, and to refuse this power
will certainly prove disastrous to the
business interests of the country. What
we want is no premium on gold and a
higher premium on honesty.
The writer of the above overlooks the
fact that 412l grains of silver bullion is
worth from S9l to 81 cents, and that the
cost of coinage at the U. s. mints is a
fraction over 8 per cent. 1t is therefore
quite obvious that 412l grains of silver
when coined might be equaltoa gold dol
lar, while 200 grains could not be made
to equal either gold or silver dollar in
its purchasing power.
