deal in futures. There are two ways
to deal in futures-one in realities, the
other in risks and chance. A man

to prophecy what would come to pass
in the future and were right in their
conjectures, and thereby reap prof

illegitimate. There is little danger of

be crushed out in Utah is by taking
the ballot from the women. The Nor

THE SILVER QUESTION.
What senator Jones Is Credited Win
Saving About 1t.

Saying About 1t.
The Carson Appeal reports Senator
Jones as saying, during his recent WIS.,
ii to the State Capital, that the bill to
restrict the coinage OF silver is certain
of defeat. The friends of silver are
growing stronger all the time in Con-
gress. The Presidents message speaks
Of $4,000, 900 Of silver in the vaults,
but it neglects to state that S6o,ooV,-
600 Of this is represented by silver
certificates floating about the country.
There is about $27O, 600, 900 Of gold in
the treasury, and not as much GOLD
certificates are out as silver. Silver
being legal tender for all debts, a
silver certificate is al good as gold
one. The idea that there can ever be
too much money in the country is GER
taihly erroneous; for as it grows and
increases in population the circulating
medium must keep pace with develop
ment. Times are hard, and real estate
and commodities 60 down as gold and
silver go up. The Secretary OF the
Treasury allows only the minimum
rate Of silver to be coined, 50 600, 900,
instead Of $4,OO0,O0o, the maximum.
The Senator holds that were the max
imum rate coined the country would
Immediately enter upon an era OF I'M
precedented prosperity, and it is the
proposition Of the silver men to press
this matter in the present Congress"

The Secretary of State and Secre-
tary of the Treasury have been asked
by the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee to send to Congress statements of
their views about the abrogation of the
Hawaiian treaty. A member OF the
Foreign Affairs Committee, who talked
with these gentlemen recently, says
that he was led to infer from opinions
expressed by them that the Secretary
of State would recommend the con
tinuance of the treaty, for several
reasons, the principal one of which
would be that it is important polite
ally that this Government should pre-.
serve its present friendly relations with
the Hawaiian Government, and that
the Secretary of the Treasury also
would oppose the abrogation of the
treaty, although he would favor such
modification of it as would diminish
the amount of revenue at present lost
to the Government by the free impor-
tation of Hawaiian sugars.

The SAND BLAST. Among the won
derful and useful inventions of the
time is the common blast. Suppose
you desire piece of marble for grave
stone; you cover the stone with sheet
of wax no thicker than wafer; then
you cut in the wax the name, date, ETC..
leaving the marble exposed. Now pass
it under the blast and the sand shall
cut it away. Remove the wax and you
have the cut letters. Take piece cf
French plate glass, say two by six feet,
cover it with fine lace and pass it uDder
the blast, and not thread of the lace
will be injured, but the sand will cut
deep into the glass wherever it is not
covered by the lace. Now remove the
lace and you have delicate aud beau
tiful figure raised on the glass. In this
way beautiful figures of all kinds are
cut in glass at small expense. The
workmen can hold their hands under
the blast without any harm, even when
it is cutting away at the hardest-cuttlng
glass, iron, or stone, but they must
look out for fnger-nails, for they will
be Whitfield off right hastily. If they
put on steel thimb,es to protect their
nails it will do but little good, for the
sand will soon whittle them away; but
if they wrap a piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe. You will
at once see the philosophy of it. The
sand whittles away and destroys any
hard substance even glass-but does
not affect substances that are soft and
yielding, like wax, cotton, fine lace, OF
even the human hand.

Perhaps no one who ever saw Eishop
Ravenscroft, has forgotten his grand
physique, and the thunderous cadences

tones that filed the largest building

in which they were, and screened off

The sound reached Bishop Raven

and said as none other could have said
The Lord is in his holy temple, let all
the earth keep silence before Him p
Silence, aye that. they did You
could have heard the heart beats Of
the crowd in the hush that followed.
During his Episcopate it became nee
essary to suspend from the ministry a
clergyman then In charge in Fayette

such cases, the friends of the suspended

abuse of power.
