Secretary SHERMAN is in trouble again. In

ont all the standard silver dollars he can on
tho Government employees and In obedience
TO another law he is coming them mt the rate
of two millions month. He explains it rs II
matter of mechanical necessity. He has not
vaults enough to hold the silver he coins, and
he Is bound by the law of convenience, as we'll
as tho law OF Congress, to put it in circulation.
And he is moreover personally willing that the
silver men should have all the castings they
want and put au end to all complaint that he
is hoarding silver.

THE most startling point developed in
General WooDFoRDs report of his close,
personal inspection of the alleged trial of
GULLY for the CHISHOLM murders is found
In the fact that strict and technical atten-
ton was paid throughout this great
mockery of justice to all the forms of law.
The jury panel was fair and unprejudiced,
the prosecution was straightforward and
earnest, the judge was impartial, or, If par
tial ut all, was so on the side of the prose-
cution, and all the proceedings stood the
most minute scrutiny of a man who would
instantly have discovered any irregularty.
And despite all this the verdict of ac-
quittal was rendered against the facts, the
law and the evidence. If the jury had
been packed and the bias of the proceed
ings had been in favor of the prisoner the
result as it happened would have been bad
enough; but rs il is it shows that popular
opinion is so vitiated in Mississippi, so at
variance with the principles of law and
order, and SO iniamously demoralizcd on
all political subjects, that under no circum-
stances can justice be expected in any case
where the personal interests of a Democrat
are at hazard.

No man Of cool and unpreiudiced judg-
ment can read the story of the CHISHOLM
murder trial. as related in our news col
umns yesterday, without being convinced
that the forms of justice are habitually
prostituted to the basest uses down in Mis-
sissippi. The acquittal of GULLY, us therein
described, serves as an assurance Of the
future acquittal of BARKsDALE and every
other political murderer on the Democratic
side-and they are all on that side-who
may be arraigned for their crimes in that
State. And it shows still further that the
entire community is so obesottedly saturated
with the very essence Of Bourbon hatred
that human life is not safe or sacred within
the limits of the State except when under
the partisan protection of the so-callet
lIome-Rule Democracy, And they call this
free government, under the rule of the

should not overlook the fact that BEN

has not become so preoccupied in his Massa-

invite him to come down and give them Il

purchase it. Capitalists, who ordinarily
reside in cities, dislike to loan money
secured on property situated at remote
distances. It requires too much time
and expense to look afterit If they do
loan it on this kind of security it is at
higher rates than those exacted in large
cities. There is no reason why tenant
farming should be associated with inn
pecuniosity. A large proportion of the
tenant farmers of Great Britain are men
OF large means. They do no manual
labor, but simply oversee the estates
they manage. They are no nearer the
condition Of poverty than the prosper
GUS merchant who stores his goods and
conducts his sales in a rented build
ing. They find it more profitable to
employ their money in the business of
farming than to invest in land.
From present appearances a large
number of English farmers will remove
to this section of the country before the
commencement of farming operations
the ceming season. Being accustomed
to cultivate land belonging to others, it
is likely that they will prefer to rent
land here, at least till such time as they
will have gained such a knowledge Of
the country as will enable them to pur-
chase it judiciously. 1t would appear
to be good policy for the owners of UNI
occupied land and of farms that have
been leased to undesirable parties to
secure these farmers for tenants. In
the meantime it will seem to be desira-
BILE to SO change the prevailing system
of leasing land for short periods as to
make it an object for many others to
become tenant farmers. AS matters
now are, the most desirable of our
young farmers leave home to settle on
the fr0ntier.-C Chicago Times.

How a Frontier Lass Captured a Big
Snake.

Zoe MERCEAU is girl of seventeen,
of mixed blood, beautiful and bold and
q daring rider. On Tuesday of last
week she performed a remarkable ex-
plot. While out looking up some of
her fathers missing ponies she encoun-
tered monster rattlesnake, warning
from which caused her horse suddenly
to shy, nearly dismounting her. Get
ting command of her animal, she refined
up short distance from the reptile,
which, angered at the intrusion, coiled
itself ready for battle. Cool and col
lected the girl, swinging her lariat, hit
it sharp blow. Maddened the snake
several times struck at her. Dexterously
swinging her supple cord again, she
"noosed' the reared head of the snake,
and, wheeling about, bore rapidly off
for home, dragging her prize after her.
It was undoubtedly the liveliest ''snak-
ing'' ever done in Montana. Arriving
at the house, her father and several cow
boys stepped out to greet her, and to
them she proudly exhibited the mon
ster, its life now extinct. Its length,
by actual measurement, was ascertained
to be seven feet and eight inches, and
its girth, at the largest part, sixteen
inches. The rattles numbered twenty
nine complete ones and "button."
This string of rattles was sent into
Helena, and in compliance with an order
accompanying it. an expert jeweler has
for several days been forming the most
unique necklace probably ever made in
this or any other country. 1t is in
tended as a present to Zoe.-Helena

ShOeing Horses.

The REV. w. H. H. MURRAY, whose
advice is worth needing, says about
shoeing The nails should be quite
small, and driven in more gently than
is the custom. There is no reason why
the smith should drive blow at the
little nail-head as strong as he would
deliver at the head Of a spike in an oak
beam. The hoof of the horse is not an
oak stick, and the delicately pointed
and slender headed nail is not a
wrought iron spike, and yet you will
see the mailer whack away at them as if
it was matter of life and death to get
them entirely set in at two blows of his
hammer. Insist that the mailer shall
drive his nails slowly and steadily, in
stead of using violence. If his nail is
badly pointed and gets out of proper
line Of direction, no great injury is
done. 1t can be withdrawn and new
one substituted, without harm having
been done the foot. But the swift,
blind and violent way prevents all such
care, and exposes the horse to tempo
rary, if not permanent injury. Gentle
ness should be exercised in clinching
the nails. Never allow a smith to
touch rasp to the outer surface of the
hoof. Nature has covered it with a
thin filament of enamel, the object of
which is to protect the inner membrane
and fiber from exposure to water and
atmosphere. The enamel is exactly
what nature puts on the surface of your
finger-nail, reader. Under no circum-
stances should it ever be touched. If
it is removed nature will be wickedly
deprived of her needed covering, and
cruelty left exposed to the elements.
Abuses in the shooting of horses are
undoubtedly very great. When we con-
slider how little ordinary smiths know
of the anatomy and Office of the compli-
Gated structure of the horses hoof and
foot, we can readily understand the
liability to these abuses. A horseshoe
is a human invention that is calculated
to injure the foot of the animal that is
doomed to wear it. In England the
most skilled men in the veterinary art
advocate its entire abandonment as an
unnecessary appendage.-Omaha Her.
