tages not to be equalled, in that she is at
the head of the rapids, and the only coal
town OF any account for coal on the up
per river, and it would be a pity to have
the supply fail us now. Recent investiga-
ton however leads us to the conclusion
that the heaviest and most numerous beds
of coal have not as yet been opened, and
that eventually we shall be the center of a
big trade in coal.
The Rapids City Coal Co., have gotten
up very neat thing in the way of checks
for the use of their miners. 1t is two
brass checks of the same number, one with
strap same as railroad checks for baggage,
and when miner fills car he checks it..
The car goes to destination at the shute
and the check is taken off and hung on his
number. He retains the duplicate 80 that
at night he knows and his employers know
also just how many cars Of coal he has sent
out. There are forty checks of each
number so that a miner who can get and
fill twenty cars can be supplied, though
the average is about eight to ten.
The license people of the city have won
the race and last week the president o!

The HicIks.Iortl Affair.

No honeymoon was ever beset by such
annoyances as has attended that Of the
LoRD-HICKs marriage. A chd,irdT with
tin horns, tin-pans, and cow-bclls are moth

ments only last q brief period, when the
boys, tired of their fun, usually retire in
good order and suspend their clatter. But
this LoRD-HIcKs wedding has been fol-
lowed up by the din Of the New York press
incessantly since that interesting event was
first announced to the public. The trouble
seems to be that an old gentleman Of ac'
knowledgcd wealth and good social stand
ing has led to the matrimonial altar mid
dle-agcd lady who has won her way into
good society as leader Of fashionable life
by her rare personal charms and accom-
plishments This is the grdrdmen Of the Of
fcnsc alleged, and we have never been able
to understand, if the parties are agreed tc
the arrangement, what the press or any
body else have to do do with the affair
after the usual announcement Of the mar
riagc is made. But the press Of New York
city seem to think that they should be rep
resented by reporters, who would attend
the happy couple during their honeymoon
and make daily report of their whereabouts
and their doings. This privilege having
been denied them, and the groom and hi,
bride having gone on their way rejoicing
the newspapers are now taking their re
venge by haunting the residence of th'
bride with reporters, who assemble arount
the front door, ring the bell constantly, ant
interview the servants rs to the whereabout
Of their mistress. Bribes of q very generou
character are said TO have been offered th'
butler if he would only divulge the yer,

The latest stand Of the gold people is, that
the silver dollar must be made equal in in
trinsic value to the gold dollar. That is, if
ll2l grains of silver are worth ninety-twO
cents, enough must be added to make the dol
lar worth one hundred cents. This is reported
70 be the Presidents view. This idea is not
dishonest, but is, in fact, strictly honest. The
only difficulty is to know just how much sill
yer must be added to make it equal to the
gold dollar. IL 1t were certain that silver
would not appreciate under the change, this
could be readily settled but it will appreci-
ate, and to what extent cannot be known in
advance. This is the difficulty. If we add
silver, and the price appreciates, what would
now make it equal with gold would then ap-
preciate 1t so as to drive it out Of circulation.
Hence, in Wow of all the facts, it is risky
matter TO attempt TO set up changing stand
ard.-Pihsbnpg Gazette.
The only fear, then, appears to be that
silver money will appreciate in value, and
hence set up changing standard. This
same fear would apply quite rs directly and
with more force to gold standard, for the
gold chart shows that it has appreciated in
value within the last fifteen years from par
to $3.50, and has fallen back again to 81 OF
This yascilatiOn in value shows that gold
has been very changing standard under
the influence of speculation, and may be
again unless it has a regulator in the intro
duction of silver Us u factor in our coin cir
culati0n where it will assume counter,
balancing power Give the country hi
metallic coin currency, and then gold, silver
and grccnblckS will at once work into a

THE Post has at last gravitated to its
normal condition of dirt-throwing, and we
ny to 1t as Uncle TOBY did TO the fly, $50,
poor devil, the world is large enough for you
and me-" Lest however, that silence on our
part in regard to its yarn about the Buffalo
Express and correspondent thirty years
ago may be construed as an admission Of its
truth and justice we have this much to say,
10 show it's absurdity. At no time within
thirty years have the proprietors of the Buff
falo Express been insolvent. They have paid
their just debts without compromises, and
If any man, whether correspondent or other
wise, held valid claim against its propre-
tors, that debt has been at all times collect
able under the process of law That at
tempt never having been made, it is primd
Jdcie evidence that no such indebtedness has
existed. 1t is an easy matter for desperate
sdventurer to trump upa claim against an
other for the purpose Of levying blackmail,
or for any other improper purpose, but when
he fails to proceed legally to collect it, as he
no doubt would if valid, it may be regarded
- strong proof that it has no legal
or Just status. If the Post regards its cours,
in this case as within the sphere of manly
Journalism, we must differ with it in that
view. We feel confident that all fair-mind
ed journalists will concur in the opinion
that in this case our neighbor is guilty of d
paltry and dirty piece of malice when it in
