THE press reports that Gen. JAMES
b. WEAVER is making the welkin
ring in Iowa. We never heard welkin
ring, and don't know exactly what
manner of instrument it is, but it is
safe to assume that WEAVER makes it
ring with his mouth. WEAVER is a
candidate for Governor of Iowa,
an an ti-monopoly candidate. The
anti-monopoly party is the
successor of the Greenback-labo
reform party of which WEAVER was
the presidential candidate for 1880.
WEAVER is the most untiring Office
seeker, which this nation of office
seekers has developed. He was candi-
date for president three years ago;
candidate for congress two years
ago; candidate for governor
this year aud will be candidate for
something or other next year. The
only perfectly bllssful period of
WEAvER's existence was when he
was collector or assessor of internal
revenue in Iowa. After he lost that
position he has been Zealously engaged
in the effort to get another, and save
two years term in congress ha. been
uniformerly unsuccessful. AS the
candidate of the anti-monopoly party
he represents the only instrument left
for the salvation of the people, and he
goes up and down in Iowa telling the
benightcd and downtrodden people
of that state of the saving
grace of the anti-monopoly giant that
is to crush out the national banks,
carry CONSERVATION and despair to the
railroad kings, and make greenbacks
as plentiful as leaves in Nallambrosa.
WEAvER's show does not possess suf-
ficent attractions to draw a crowd of
itself so he travels as side-show to
KINNE and SHERMAN, the Democratic
and Republican nominees. They draw
the crowd, and speak to them in the
morning, and WEAVER steps to the
front in the evening with his free ex-
hibition. Where KINNE and SHER-
MAN are gathered together there
is WEAVER also, making the welkin
ringu to his own satisfaction and the
amusement of the populace who suffer
no injury. 1t don't damage them and
WEAVER seems to enjoy it. Next
year he may run for the legislature, or
for coroner.

in gold certificates, which means an
increase of mere than S7,000,000 in
gold owned by the government. The
statements also show an increase OF
about 81 100000 in silver dollars and
bullion in the treasury, and of about
81 100000 in silver certificates out
standing. This means q decrease of
over 100000 In silver dollars and bull.
ion owned. This change in the con
dition of the treasury is due largely To
the issue of silver certificates against
deposits Of gold coin. The people who
deposit gold and take silver certili-
Gates in exchange for IL do so be-
cause the government will deliver these
certificates free of charge for transporta-
tionatany subtreasury anYwill not do
the same with god certificates. They
would not do SO otherwise, nor would
they even for the sale of that advan-
tage if they thought the certi ficates
would come back' to plague them.
They send them Il the Westand south
and expect them to stay there, where
the inhabityts are supposed to dote
on silver, They know, too, that if
the certificates do come back to their
counters, they can get rid of them
again through the custom-house,
which is obliged to take them in the
Of duties Why the secretary
of the treasury should discriminate in
this way in favor of silver certificates,
and against gold certificates is not al
together apparent. 1t is true that by
the operation the government comes
to own more gold and less silver than
il otherwise would. But that is only
temporary at best. The certificates
are pretty sure to return to the treas
ury through the customs channel, and
then the government would be as
much troubled as ever with the own
ership of silver. So much gold and
silver in the hands of the government
is enough to eXasperate the Green
hackers beyond endurance.

THE advocacy ofthe postal telegraph
system by the Republican press of the
country is wholly consistent with its
record favoring the concentration of
power in the general government. A
postal telegraph, managed by the gov
ernment would give employment to
an army of officials equal to. that of
the present postal department. Every
employee of the government represents
n worker for the perpetuation of Re-
publican rule, and this is the secret of
the Republican desire to see the tele-
graph turned over to the government.
1t would also afford additional oppor-
tunitics for speculation, and the en-
richment of iavorites of the admins
tration. The construction of from
hundred thousand miles of
railroad needed for the bus,
mess of the country would re-
quire the employment Of thousands of
men and the expenditure of $50, 900 600
of money. Any one acquainted with
the methods of doing business by the
government, who has noticed the
number of men employed in the navy
yards, and the results accomplished,
will see at q glance what a powerful
political engine the postal telegraph
system would be when manipulated
by ambitious and unscrupulous politi-
clans The reason why the Republic
cans favor the increase of government
control over the industries and bust
ness of the country, is found in the
increased power and patronage at the
disposal of the ofliceholders.

II seems a little singular that the
very class of men who are most inter-
ested in good government, in the hon
est administration of the public bust
ness, and the election of honest and
competent officers are the ones who
take the least interest in elections.
The common day laborer, the street
hummer and every vagrant in the
land, men who own no property, who
pay no taxes, who need no protection,
are the foremost men at conventions
and the busiest workers at the polls.
The wealthy merchant, the land
owner and the heaviest tax-pay ers,
who bear the largest proportion of
the burdens of government are seldom
participants in conventions which
nominate candidates, and are never
seen at the polls laboring for the cleo
ton of the best men. They leave the
performance of these duties to the ire
sponsible and incompetent element of
society, and often complain of the dis
honest or reckless administration of
government business. 1t would seem
that those who possess the largest
estates, who pay the most taxes, would
be the most solicitous in keeping alive
the highest respect for the law and the
government that gives their posses
sions security-but such is not the case.

mountain, aged between forty-iive and fifty
years, who is recluse enough to satisfy the
most exacling. He lives Oh the game which
he traps or shoots. and rarely speaks to a
fellow being, his only companion being q
large deer hound He makes no use of yege-
tables in any form, living on flesh alone,
which he eats, rs humor seizes him, raw or
cooked. He has lived thus alone since early
youth, making his home in a cave, which
he has lancifully lined with skins of the ami
mails he has killed.
The above particulars are learned from
gentleman who met this strange being in
the mountains, and by nim was taken to
