We yesterday visited tho new
and extensive carpet warerooms o:
the Messrs. Lehman & Rothschild,
in McDonal Block, Main street,
and were somewhat surprised at
the variety and extent of their ele-
CANT stock. Their two stores are
each 25x125 feet, lighted by four
large French plate glass windows
and connected by arches. One is
devoted to furniture and the other
to carpets, etc. In the rear of the
stores the Messrs. l.. & r. have
fitted upa large cabinet and uphol-
STEERING shop, in which they are
prepared to do all work in their
line in first class style. Taken al
together, their establishment will
compare favorably with any other
on the Pacific Coast, and exhibits
an amount of home enterprise
which should be encouraged.
We direct attention to the adver-
tisement of the grand dramatic en-
tertainment to be given at Turn
verein Hall next Wednesday night
for the benefit Of the Congrega-
tional Church. The programme is
an exceptionally good one and the
object for which the entertainment
is given is one that should be sus-
tanned. We expect to see the
house crowded.
ALieutenant andCorporal arrived
in the city by the Yuma train yes
terday with prisoner for Alcatraz
Island. Owing to the fact that no
train left for San Francisco they
were obliged to lay over here. The
prisoner was committed to Jail to
await the next train for San Fran
cisco, which, it. is expected, will
start on time to-day.

The following is the summing up Of
coin aud paper in a nutshell, and every
sane man can understand it. 1t is
from Scribner's Magazine for Novem-
Der, by J. G.. Holland:
The existing greenback, il may be
claimed, il worth as much as a nation
al bank note Of corresponding denomi-
nation, but il 10 to be answered that
the greenbsck, as IL exists. does not
pretend to be "absolute money" Ii Is
a promise Of the United States to pay
money. aud there is no sane financial
man who does not know that II Is n
promise TO pay coin. or something that
directly represents coin. A greenback
is good. and only good because the
country accepts It as a pledge Of gold
or silver. Tie precious metals have
been accepted. the world ever, as the
basis of Currency. and when men talk
about money they invariably talk
about that which has its basis IN coin
ed metals. A paper dollar always rep
resents gold or silver dollar. -
Throughout the long period during
which specie payments have been sus-
pended ia the United States, the value
of bank notes and of greenbacks has
been sustained by the faith that ulti-
mately-sooner or later-every dollar
would be redeemed or redeemsble in
coin. There was a time when 10 took
two dollars in paper to buy one in gold,
and the gap between that period and
this has gradually been closed, as the
certainty has increased that the prom
ise upon the face of the paper dollar
would be redeemed. III the greenbsck
we're 10 be changed to-day, so that it
would bear no such pledge, il would
become very cheap money indeed. II
would hardly be worth the paper il is
printed on.
There Is no power on earth that can
legislste value into paper. IL paper
does not represent value, il is good FOR
nothing and no government can make
IL good for anything. The question of
cheap money. for the benefit Of the In
borer, for instance, is "as broad as II
is long" IL money is good for any
thing, il will be paid for in labor. The
markets OF the world settle the values
Of merchandise. We may legislate
that every bushel Of wheat shall be
worth five dollars, bat our legislation
will have not the slightest effect upon
the price. Wheat is wheat the world
over, and the price is regulated by the
/ great law Of demand aud supply. -
/ NJ ,ney is money the world over; mon
els gold and silver the world over.
and every article that a man possesses
and has for sale will be regulated 10 its
price by the relation which il bears 10
some gold unit in the markets Of the
world. Money cannot be so made that
a man can get something for nothing.
Ii cannot he 30 made that he can get
4 IL for less than the market price in la
Dor. The idea that IL can be 50 made
Is delusion and snare Of the devil

than a hundred fold. Tho straw and

has sent samples Of it 90 be planted ia

food for cattle is not easily obtained az
some seasons, as the stalk Of the new
grain, when il is thoroughly ripe,
makes excellent hay.
