Ox THE subject Of silver, MIR. S.
Houser. n Montana miner, says; "lf sill
yer coinage stops the whole Western
country will be ruined. 1t will not alone
be the silver mining interests that Will
suffer, but all mining interests. Silver
Is mixed with copper and enables us to
furnish copper at the present low price
without loss. but II silver were depre-
ciated we couldn't do that. So 1t Is
with lead. 1t would also affect the gold
production of the country and reduce It
fully one-third. There is at least Sl0,-
100000 of gold that is taken out with the
silver annually. Four-fifths of all the
silver mines would be obliged to stop
work, and not less than Sl00,OO0,00O Of
business be destroyed. There is no
chance that anything will be done about
1t in Congress, but the discussion has
knocked silver down to 81 per ounce
from 81 10. 1t will go below n dollar If
the coinage should be stopped"

We take occasion to state, as matter
of fact and news that much is being said
in political circles at Washington, and at
the same time not little at Chicago, about
Senator John A. Logan, as presidential
candidate in l5ss The Senator developed
strong qualities in 1884 and no man can
say that he would not have been elected
had he been at the head instead Of at the
tail OF the presidential ticket. Had he
been named for the presidency it is likely
that there would have been no disafectiou
among New York republicans and that he
would have received the electoral vote Of
that state, and been elected The genera
esteem for the Senator has been greatly in
creased during the past two years, and he
is now unanimously admitted to be gooC
and strong man of popular qualities. Mr.
Logan will undoubtedly be heard iron
early and often during the next thre,
years.

the result with good grace. Secretary Powell,

carried both branches OF the Legislature.
