This = just what mono-mesaaIlss w
aiming Of, 10 cheaper and degrade the
metal and thus increase the purchasing
power Of gold.
While our keen-scented neighbof
could find comfort in the Chicago
paper's ill-advised article, 1t haIed 70
zee upon the same page OF that
paper IN editorial note which b entirely
inconsistent with the belief that the
lining Journal Is really sincere IN
what our contemporary is pleased to call
its ''sensible view of the question" In
fact the brief article to which We refer
and which the Inter Mountain failed 10
ses, is such "a sensible view Of the ques-
ton" that we reproduce it. The Min
ing Journal says:
At no time in the history Of mining
las silver been produced In excess OF the
demand. There. will. always he de-
uland. no matter hOv large the prOduc-
ton. The history If silver shows that
if there il an increased production III
0n,. norton of the world. there II u
:;,llinv-,,tf' in some other. The amount
Of silver coined int" money is only Il
small portion q: what is mined. Every
wear the demand :Or silver increases.
Tons have been used for silver ware,
and tons are still wanted. Keep right
on mining. just the same as II President
Arthur had not said Il word about sus-
lent!in: the coinage OF silver dollars.
This j.. good advice: keep right on
mining" And this our silver miners
will do. But should Congress repeal
the coinage act, as our evening coten'i'o-
rary advises, the fall OF twenty-five or
thirty per cent. in the present value OF
silver which would certainly follow its
repeal. would compel them to draw the
fires from their furnaces, hang up their
STAMPS. discharge their hands and seek
mew enterprises in which to gain !: live
liioMl. IN such an event the present
standard silver dollar would, in Il short
time look as large rs Il cart wheel to
,ncn WHO are HOW Oh the high road TO
fortune.

Russia and Austria.

When the SHOWS melt in the Herz'-
govinan passe S, whan JovaDovieh is able
to open a regular campaign agaiLs. the
insurgents their Deigbbors will begin to
take sides, and Austria will know just
how much opposition she may expect
from Russia. Till then all forecasts of
war are premature. There is strong
fighting party at Moscow and st. Peters
burg. Pobe6onosef and the Court fac
ton, Katkoff aud the noder Rtes, Aksa-
kof aud the natioualists, represent diff
ferent phases of the PaDslavist idea.
SkObeleffs views are notorious, and the
army supports him. Old Prince Gorts-
chakoff sill liyes, aud his spite against
Austria has not sbated with years. M.
de Giers was trained in GortschakofPs 8
school. IgDatiefr has long been the
champion Of the Slays. SChouvalof,
Adlerbere, WaluIef-all the Teutonic
party Of the late reign have gone TO the
wall. With one exception there Is
hardly prominent man in Russia to-
day who would not advocate q campaign
on behalf Of the SIsv nationalties. The
exception is the Czar. Ths Emperor
Of Russia is a man of peace; his aims
are reform and economy; be has as
strong an objection to war as the Em-
peror of Austria, who knows more Of
It's evils. If Russia fights 1t will' be in
spite of the Gar M. Y. Herald.

family so rich. The chief bene6claries
under the wills OF Miss Sarah Burr and
her sisters are various societies of the

Whas Might Have HaDneued n,
brandy 1sine X. n. bridge Las

Whas Might Have Happened on
Brandy wine II. II. Bridge Last
A terrible slaughter of people
might have occurred on the Brandy
wine bridge last evening had it not
been for the foresight OF an engineer.
Despite the warnings that have been
made through the press and persons
being killed while crossing the bridge,
people will continue to cross it. The
crossing is dangerous, as there is no
footwalk EXCEPT the cross ties.
Last evening over fifty men, women
and children, employed in Bowers,
Dure u Co.'s, aud the new cannery,
were crossing the bridge on their way
home from work. While they were
ON the bridge two trains were ap-
preaching, the New York express
north and the Delaware train south.
Al. Beckley was the engineer on the
south. bound tram, anu having an in
tuition that it was about time for the
people to be crossing the bridge, and
hearing the north bound train, he
''slOwed' up until the north train had
crossed the bridge. Had he not done
so both trains would have met ON the
bridge, and those CT ossing would have
been caught between them. In that
case 1t is hard to imagine how many
would have been killed or MANNED for
life, as there would have ben no es-
cape except by jumping from the
bridgsfnto the creek, and than ten
chances 10 one those that did 30
would have found watery grave
The railroad company desire it
stated that persons who cross the
bridge do SO at their own risk. Every
morning when the Edgemoor train
goes out it has 10 run very slow over
the bridge on account of workmen
crossing it.
IL has only been q short time since
the Levy Court was taken 10 task
about the delay in completing the new
Eleventh street bridge, and one of the
arguments used was that The lives OF
people " ere endangered by having to
cross the railroad bridge in order tC
get to and from their work. Now thai
the bridge is completed they do moi
seem to avail themselves OF it, but
continue to cross the railroad bridge il
defiance of danger.

difficult to obtain the given name OF

Births are reported without the child be-

TO send Lostal card to the parents ask

month. If, however, the parents refuse
