SINCE the 1st of July the trade
dollar has come into such disfavor
that it no longer passes at par.
The eastern brokers are buying
them at s. cents, but government
officers advise parties to keep
them, intimating that congress will
at its next session provide some
measure for their redemption.
The trade dollar is intrinsically OF
more value than the modern silver
dollar; it contains seven grains
more silver than the standard dol
lar and is better coin. But con-
gress never endowed it with legal
tender attributes, and it is not
even felony 70 counterfeit it. II
was originally coined for use in
the Chinese trade, at a time when
our currency was paper, as favor,
it is said to the bonanza silver
kings, who wished to find some use
for the product of their mines.
There are 35,OOO,0OO of those big
dollars in circulation, chiefly in the
Orient.

DORSEY threatens to sue several

DORSEY threatens to sue several
newspapers for libel. We have
no doubt says the Texas .SJtingS
but that Dorsey really needs
money if Ingersoll has collected
his fee, as there is good reason to
suppose he has; but getting money
out of newspaper is rather an
uphill business. as Dorsey will
find out before the newspapers get
through with him. Dorsey seems
to think that his character has been
damaged to the extent of several
hundred thousand dollars, which
reminds us of what a New York
editor said about Mrs. Victoria
Woodhull when she. being in
England, sued a London paper for
10000 damage to her character.
The New York editor remarked
that if Mrs. Woodhull's character
had been damaged to that extent,
it could not possibly be the same
character she had when she left
this country.

The First Railroad.

IN an article in the Boston
Herald concerning the celebra-
ton of the centennial anniversary
OF Solomon Willard, the veteran
promoter and builder of railroads,
the following interesting para
graph CONCERNING the first railroad
built in the United States appears:
Sir. Willard was one of the sign
ers Of a petition, which was pre-
scented to the legislature in Jam
uary, 1926, for an act of incorpo-
ration to construct a railway 10
Quincy, from the stone qnarries
to Neponset River. Notwith-
standing the opposition which this
project encountered, the set Of
incorporation was granted, aad
was approved on March 4th Of
that year. The railroad was
built during 1926, at an estimated
cost of 100000. This was the
first incorporated railroadin Amer
lea. 1t was at first operated by
horse power. 1t is q fact worth
noting in this connection that the
Bunker Hill monument is not only
commemorative of the first great
battle of the revolution, but that
the building of the monument was
the direct cause OF the opening OF
this country's first railroad. The
monument association had pnr-
chased a quarry in Quincy for the
purpose OF obtaining suitable ma
terial for the construction Of the
monument. 1t was while conSid-
ering how the necessarily onor
NOUS blocks of stone could be
most economically and safely
transported that the idea of bald
ing a railroad was conceived. and
ultimately, successfully carried
out.

IL boring an artesian well i'll
the Santa Clara valley, California,
the stump of a redwood tree was
met at a distance of 2S1 feet from
the ground surface. The point
where the tree was struck is 81
feet above tide water, from which
it is distant eight miles, and the
depth at which the wood was
reached is much greater than that
OF the water in the bav.

The Railroad Situation,

The Astoria railroad projects
are moving slowly. The Astoria
and Winnemucca railroad compa
ny sull have under adyisemeut the
proposition to build A railroad
from Astoria TO the Willamette
valley if S200,000subsidy is raised,
but have come to no decision.
We are positively assured that
Mr.. Willard has nothing to 10 with
this proposition. Two or three
miles of water frontage has been
secured Tor this company al Tanzy
point.
The Willard people have one
surveying party in the field on
the Nehalem, but the operators of
this company DO not indicate any
serious intention of building a
railroad.
The feeling is growing more
and more every day that the land
grant must be declared forfeited
and out of the way. When that
is done and the lands returned to
the public domain for settlement a
railroad is assured. Otherwise we
will continue to have, as at pres
ent, little surveying for the pur-
pose of keeping the land grant
from being forfeited, unless the
proposition to the Astoria and
Winnemucca Il. Il. Co. be ac-
cepted.

REPoETs from the cattle regions
of Texas say that careful estimates
place the number of cattle driven
up the trail from that section at
100000 head, an increase Of $50,
900 over those of last year. The
bulk of cattle will be driven to
Kansas, Nebraska and the western
territories.

AIAHoNE CoNTRADIorED

EX-CODgressman DezendOrf (Repub-
lican), of Virginia, says in reference to
the Malone manifesto, that any state
rOr exists in Virginia is an Infamous
lie. He protests against having his
property In the Old Dominion injured
by such falsehOOds as are set forth in
the Malone address. The election, he
adds, was peaceable and fair, and Ma
hone was squarely and honestly beaten.
If MahOne's ticket had received every
vote cast i'll Danville it would not have
changed the result. The riot was un-
fortunate, but it was attributed directly
to MahOne's peculiar methods of con-
matOry speeches of the Readjusters.

THE EpANvILLE PLOw.
Report of tho Investigation Committee of
Forty.


Forty.
DANvILLE, Va, Nov. 26.-The commit
tee of forty appointed to investigate the
facts connected with the riot on the Sd
instant organized on the 18th instant
and appointed the proper subcommittee.
! ALI persons having information in rela-
l6iOn to the matters to be Investigated
were publicly requested to appear be-
fore the subcommittee and testify.
The subcommittee regularly attended
to the duties from the morning of the
18th to the evening of the 2lst, during
which time thirty-seven witnesses were
examined. II is said the witnesses for
the most part were known to the com
mittee personally and represented all
classes and vOcatiOns. They are intelli-
gent and reliable.
The committee takes a careful and
impartial review of the facts connected
with the riot. After speaking of the ill
feeling existing between the blacks
and whites, the committee state that the
negroes were the aggressOrs. The re-
port adds: "TwO days before the cleo
tion circulars, signed by prominent
citizens and leaders of both political
parties, were issued, guaranteeing every
person, without regard to color or par
ty, the free and undlstuTbed right of
voting. No ViOlance, threat or intimi
datiOn whatever was shown towards
negroes or coalition voters, but on the
contrary such voters were repeatedly as
sured by citizens. policemen, and mill
tary officers sent to Danville by the Gov
ernOr that they would be protected in
the right TO vote as they chose. Election
day was quiet without any disturbance
or difficulty at any precinct or elsewhere
in the town. The election itself was
honestly conducted ami was free and
fair in all respects. The negroes as
body refrained from voting under the
advice and command of their party lead
ers, while others voted the coalition
ticket without hindTance from any
quarter.

REDUCING THE ARMIES.

The kings of Europe have recently
been comforting together. The emper-
Ors of Austria and Germany have met,
and the king of Spain has paid visit to
several of his brother rulers. The re-
suit is said to be an alliance between a
number of the leading powers to bring
about a reduction of the several armies.
In time of profound peace Europe rep
resents vast camp; nearly all the able
bodied men are drafted into the armies,
and the financial burdens of the several
nations have, in consequence, become
intOlerable. 1t is believed that con-
gress of the several nations will be held
to see if something cannot be done to re-
trench the military establishments, and
save some of the money now wasted on
est's Monthly.
