Secretary Of Treasury's Report.

The report of Secretary Manning is
most noticeable for Its discussion of the
question of silver and gold. This subject
he enters into at considerable length. He
advises to stop the coinage of silver dol
lars, and allow those that are already
coined to continue in use. He would not
have the silver dollar made heavier to
correspond with the gold dollar. nor
would he take away from it its legal ten
der quality, but he would not increase the
quantity issued from the mint. This he
thinks might be used without disturbing
the currency or business of the country.
This conclusion appears to be the best he
can arrive at in this matter The only
choice before Congress" he says, "is the
choice between one metalism and two
metallism. The silver dollar cannot be
kept in equivalence with the gold dollar
if the coinage of silver continues. The
gold dollar cannot be kept in full domes-
tic circulation if the silver dollar is suf-
tered to fall. Coming more necessitates
it's fall. Doubtless some may hope that
more silver dollars can be coined, and yet
their equivalence with the monetary unit
not be lost" This, the Secretary argues,
is an impossibilty. Changes in the tariff
are suggested. Upon national banks he is
very mild. He thinks changes are neces-
sary in the immigration laws. His report
proper closes with recommendation for
q general statute of limitation upon the
presentation of demands against the United
States

The Fountain Of Youth.

Dyspepsia is the prevailing mslndy OF
civilized life. A weak dyspeptic stomach
acts very slowly or not at all on many kinds
Of food; gases are extricated, acids are
formed and become source OF pain and
disease until discharged. To be dyspeptic
is to be miserable, hopeless, depressed, con-
fused in mind, forgetful, irresolute, drowsy,
weak, languid and useless. 1t destroys the
Teeth, Complexion, Strength, Peace of
Mind and Bodily ease. 1t produces Head
ache, Pain in Shoulders, Coughs, Tghtness
Of Chest Dizziness, Sour Fluctuations of
Stomach, Bad Taste in Mouth, Bilious
Attacks, Palpitation Of Heart, Inflammation
of Lungs Pain in the region of the Kidneys
and . hundred other painful symptoms.
Dyspepsia invariably yields to the vege-
table remedies in GOLDEN SEAL

Opposite viewA Gov. BssoIs recommending tho
immediate abolishment Of The ofhce, while
Gov. Alger recommends its further trial.
Both governors concur in recommending
the immediate abolition of the prison labor
contract system, each criticises sharply the
present method by which prisoners are SEN
fenced to and confined in the Ionia reform
atory, and each recommends that the pardon
ing power be taken from the governor and
vested in board of pardons.
The recommendation made by Gov Alger
that taxes be collected semiannnally will
not be apt to meet with universal approba-
ton. Most people think that they are inter-
viewed by the tax-gatherer quite often
enough, under our present system, and it is
doubtful if the advantages to be derived
from more frequent collection would re-
pay the people for the extra annoyance and
harrassment to which they would be sub
a semi-annunl collection would impose upon
them.
Gov. Alger concludes his message by re-
commanding economy in appropriations re-
duction of taxation and short legislative
session devoted to necessary Legislative WORK.
Taken altogether the two messages are
important state papers worthy of the chief
executive of our great and growing state.

but the strongest indictment vet pre-
ferred against him comes from far off
South Australia Two pairs of the
birds were let loose in Adelaide a few
years ago. and it is said they have al
ready multiplied to two millions-not
scattered throughout the colouy, but
crowded into the settled districts, a fact
which is adduced as evidence that they
do not subsist upon insects or wild ber-
rles, but feed almost entirely upon the
fruit and grain produced by civilization.
a recent letter from Adelaide thus pic
lures the havoc made by the voracious
maraudeTs: 1.-The sparrows are now
busy picking off the almond fruit buds
as they swell, and the peach, apricot and
plum will be attended to in due course.
Should any buds be spared the sparrows
are early in their attentions to the Tipen-
ing fruit, and the grain before ready for
reaping will be cleared by them. In the
sparrow we have an enemy far worse
than the red rust, locust or Russians,
and what with the favorable climate.
the absence of natural enemies, and the
immense breeding grounds in the ran
ges, my impression is that unless some
remedy is found the whole col
ony will, in less than twenty years. be
reduced to mere sheep walk" Again
the sparrows must go.
