TEE SILVER DOLLAR.

There IS no doubt but what strong effort will be made iA Congress this win ter to repeal the law fer the coinage of the silver dollar. This is foreshadowed by the reports of the Director of the Mint, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Presidents message. The President in his message sugar coats the proposition by suggesting the repeal of the law fix ing the amount of silver that shall be coined, and leaving it to be regulated by the demand. The unanimous oppo- sition to the silver dollar exhibited by the leading Treasury officials would in- dicate that the passage Of such bill would accomplish the object of the most extreme monometallist, l. C., stop the coinage entirely.
 The whole country, but more espe- cislly the silver producing portions of the West, are interested in this ques- tion.
 The return of financial prosperity to the country can be dated from the re- monetization of silver, and the coinage of the silver dollar has been of untold benefit to the industrial interests of the country.
 The reconciliation of silver and the coinage of the 4121S grain silver dollar was bitterly opposed by the mOnometal- lists, and the direst consequences were predicted to follow this introduction of what they were pleased to term'a cheap money. None of these predictions have come to pass, but on the\ contrary the country has been generally prosperous.
 One of the misfortunes which was to follow the use of silver in thesommercS of the nation was the withdrawal of gold from the country. We were as- sured that this vould be the inevitable result of a cheap currency, and the United States would be shut out from among the great commercial nations Of the world. and be chased with China, India and other silver using nations. This is hardly the case. In spite of the reconciliation of silver and the continued coinage of the 412lS grain dollar this country has been making continual drafts upon the stock of gold in those countries which attempt to make gold the sole representative of value. To prevent this continued drain those countries have been forced to re- sort to every conceivable expedient, but without success; and to-day goldis com ing to this country in a continuous stream that threatens to force the dual standard in all Europe.
 What new argument or reason the l monometallists are going to assign for stopping the coinage of silver, we can not conceive. In the face of the past few years experience, they certainly can not say that it will either destroy our credit or drive out gold. Past expert ence disproves both those objections.
 We are inclined to the opinion that the objection to silver money grows out l of the fact that so long as it IS used in any considerable quantity as a circulat- ing medium, ii is impossible for a few men to control and corner the money market. That is one of the chief bene- 1 sts tbe oo55,ntry has derived from the ! oftsglver, and 1t should | be slow to change a polic.s "i',''h hal ,'df [ been so satisfactory Ill its results.

THE servant girl question divides in- terest with the capital question at Pres colt. The Democrat is making a war on Chinese help and setting forth the in- ducements that place offers to servant girls. The Democrat omits one very strong inducemeatwhich should be held out, and that is the excellent opportuni- ties for eligible marriages. There are plenty of single men all through this Western country with property which in a few years will make them handsome fortunes. Respectable girls coming West stand a first-class chance of secur
 ing happy homes and loving husbands.

What the Southern Pacific Will Do.

SAN FRANCIsCo, December 9-The Chronicle publishes an interview with the President of the Southern Pacific who states that the road expects to cirry a large part of wheat of the State de- stined for Europe, and it will probably be in a condition to carry one-third of the next years crop. If there is not sui ficient ocean transportation obtainable at New Orleans, the company will put on steamers. They expect to save the farmers of the State three dollars per ton on freight. The new route will par ticulaTly encourage the shipment of flour and expects to bring in a great number of immigrants. If they can't get them at such rates as they would like, they will take them at such rates as can be obtained. The tendency will be to lower fares and fTeights. The new road will have no appreciable effect on the business of the Central Pacific, but will open up a new country and business for itself

WOman'S InflneHce.

1t is related of Franklin that from the
 window of his office in Philadelphia he noticed a mechanic, among a number of others, at work on house which was be- ing erected close by, who appeared to be in a merry hUmOr, and who had kind and cheeful smile for every one he met.
 Let the day be ever so cold, gloomy or
 sunless, the happy smiles danced like
 sunbeams on his cheerful cOuntenance.
 Meeting him one day Franklin request
 ed tO know the secret of his constant hap
 py flow of spirits. "Its no secret, doe

 of wives. When l go to work she always
 gives me a kind word of encouragement

Speak gently then; a happy smile and kind wcrd of greeting after the tolls of the day are over cost nothing, and go far toward mak- ing home peaceful and happy

Fire at Tombstone.


 l ISpecial to the CITIZEN
 TOMBSTONE, December l0.-At 9I5 last evening the alarm of fire was given by the blowing Of the mine whistles. A fire was discovered near the Grand Ho- tel in a frame building containing twelve rooms, run in connection with the hotel The fire spread rapidly, and by the time the department was on the ground had enveloped the lodging house, assay office of W T Rickard and the stables of Taylor & Brown. For some reason the stream from the engine was delayed few minutes. but did good service after once started The Hook and Ladder Company did good service tearing down small outbuildings and fences in the rear of the telegraph of- fee and Kelly's wine rooms, which served to cheek the flames. At the first alarm all horses in the stable were turned into the street and the carriages run out. None were lost. There was no wind at the time fortunately, but at midnight the wind was blowing quite violently. The total loss is about SjOO0. Coleman's lodgers lost Si00 Arthur Laing lost all his clothing and valuable papers. Nothing was saved from the assay office. The stable owners lost a quantity of hay and grain. The lodg- ing house was insured in the Waterman Insurance Company for 500. Much credit is due the Fire Department. The Hook and Ladders had refresh ments at Hawkins & Boarman's after the fire. A good department and plenty of water not a big bell saved the town.
