When is a man dead? People are apt
to suppose that this is a point not often
in doubt, but there is no scientific Ger.
tainty on the point, as the histories Of
premature burials prove. But the case
comes up now in the report of an execu.
tion. The man was hanged and his heart
o eased to beat Isl minuter aftes the drop
fell. Yet it is said that his neck was
broken and death was instantaneous.
Did his heart beat eighteen minutes after
he was dead!

OF the car drivers was broken to-day, and
all tied-up lines had cars running. On
some of the lines the full number of cars
has not been sent out. but it Ia expected

A MONUM Entail CLIMATE.

The Lincoln Monument at Springfield,
ILL.,, is ~crumbling to decay. 1t was a
costly structure. The soldiers and sail.
ors gave S27, 900 to it, of which $1,000
was by colored soldiers. The Sunday
schools gave $4,000. The State Of
Illinois, by Act of her Legislature, gave
$77,0 New York's share was Sl0,.
600. Missouri gave 81. 900, and Califor-
MIA $500. The whole cost was over
5000, 900. The structure is wholly of
Qaincy granite, and its base is 20 feet
square, and hight to the top of shaft 100
feet. Parts of the elaborate design have
already repeatedly fallen. The arches
Of the crypts and the walls have to be
sustained by wooden braces. The ex.
terror arches are dis~integrating. and the
annual expense of keeping up repairs is
a serious drain upon the Association.
Mr.. John T. Stuart, Chairman Of the
Executive Committee, declares that no
material, not even granite, can withstand
the extremes of climate at Springfield.
The fact is, says the San Francisco Alta
boastfully, that California has the only
monumental climate in this country, and
here should be grouped the monuments
and memorials of the country's great
men, where nature lends them a back
ground Of her own handiwork upon
which the eye feasts always without
safety and with appetite always re.
uewed, and where the sun and the at
Inosphere kiss all things with a pre-.
sentative gentleness which insures the
Immortality OF monuments.

Editors are constantly in receipt OF
curious letters. Here is one OF them,
sent to the editor of Harper's Magazine
the other day. 1t was from a lady who
wrote that she was dying. and that her
physicians told her she would be dead
before the conclusion Of Mr.. Howelrs
story, Indian Summer" then running
in the Monthly. She was very much in.
terested in it, and did not want to die
until she knew how it was going to end.

The financial crisis, which the oppo'
nents of the silver dollar have been pre-
dieting for over a year. is now said by
the New York Post to be postponed fol-
some time" 1t is worthy Of remark
that this postponement. which has all
along been pronounced impossible, un'
less the coinage OF the silver dollar should
be suspended. is now ~graciously accorded
within a week after Congress has decided
that the coinage shall 60 on for two years

It is a singular fact, in the estimation
OF the San Francisco Sunday World,
that the average man engaged in politi C
does not scruple to lie, but as a rule
rather regards lying as a fine art. While
in ordinary business his word would be
equivalent to his bond, he has no hesita'
ton in lying when a matter OF politics is
at issue, This may seem to be a harsh
criticism, but it is nevertheless true,
There is no need of the downright, alb
solute lie to constitute the ofense. but
the man who holds out encouragement
and hope to- the applicant for his @favors,
which he does not intend to fulfill, ii
equally guilty of the moral delinquency

County Treasurer's Pay,

EDITOR CLARION: The statute pro-
yides for the election of County Treas
urers and designates their duties and
liabilities. 1t then regulates their pay
in these words
''The County Treasurer shall be al
lowed two and one-half per centum on
all money received by him for county
purposes" -" Code Z 40 The
County Treasurer is to be paid q per
cent on all moneys received by him for
county purposes. This is the only pay to
be allowed him, or that he is authorized to
receive. He is to receive pay for money
recetced for county purposes, and for
nothing else.
Yet in fact eighe-tenths of the pay
allowed him and received by him, is
not upon fee mony received by him for
county purposes. Only about two
tenths of his pay Gllowed to him and re-
celved by him, is upon and for money
received by him for county pur-
poses. The tax collector takes up
aud pays off. as he is authorized
by law to do, all the county warrants
issued against the county. He takes
these paid up warrants to the County
Treasurer. And the County Treasurer
takes such warrants to the supervisors.
Then the Board of Supervisors allows
him p per cent. on the amount of such
warrants (not on money! and he reserves,
as his pay, - per cent. on the amount
OF such warrants, mot money for county
purposes). This allowance by the SUI
peryisors, to the County Treasures, of
q per cent on the amount of such paid
up warrant, paid by the tax collector,
Is without authority and in violation of
law. The receiving of the same, by the
County Treasurer, is also in violation of
law. This thing should be stopped at
once. Its stoppage would save to the
State $4,000 each year. Then let the
Grand Jurors take the matter in hand
at once. Justice. e.

Value Of the Silver Dollar.

That the silver dollar is worth only
so cents. seems To us to be more a matter
of Imagination than reality 1t seems
TO be fact that during all the time
from 1892 up to 1878 when coinage was
stopped, the amount of silver in the
dollar was worth from three to five per
cent. more in the markets of the world
than the gold in the gold dollar, and
there is as much silver in the silver
dollar now as there was then Further
more, we see 1T stated often, and know
of no reason which to us seems to prove
the statement incorrecty that the silver
IN our present dollar as bullion will
purchase more of the products of labor
in the markets of the world than at any
time since 1873. All we want with
money Is to purchase with it the pro-
ducts OF labor, and if the silver in the
silver dollar will purchase as much As
the gold in the gold dollar, then il seems
10 US to be an honest dollar Labor is
the true measure by which to measure
values
Another reason why we are slow to
believe that u silver dollar Ia worth only
~ cents, Is because we don't believe
that any man with million of them.
be he IN the East or in the West. would
sell them for so cents piece. He
might sell his gold dollars at SIPS a
piece, but not his silver pieces at 20
cents of-HeridfaQ .Netes.

The following, taken from the Hot
Springs Star, being in strict accord with
our former predictions with reference
to the course Of the b. & NJ, and also in
the beauty of scenery, inducements to
investors, etc. in the localities named, is
cheerfully reproduced:
From present appearances the above
named road will be into this territory in
the next six months. We believe the
b. & M. has no road in Dakota and the
line approaching from the south will be
their first. 1t is not known what part
Of the Hills will be occupied by this
road, but judging from the past action
of the company in building in the west,
they will build to the best points for
business, and il they do this, Hot
Springs is certain to be one point on
their passenger traffic alone would pay
an immense revenue, besides this is ex.
actly on the line to Custer City, the
center Of the finest and best tin mines
in the world. A railroad is certain to
be built to Hot Springs and Custer in
side Of Is months. 1t is no disparage-
ment to other towns to say that Custer
and the Hot Springs, present the finest
field for a good return for investments
of capital in any form of any places in
the Black Hills. Both towns are county
seats Of prosperous counties, one having
tributary to it the most wonderful tin
mines ever discovered in any country,
and the other having the finest medical
springs on the continent. For scenery
40 country in the world can equal that
in and around Custer and Hot Springs.
The scenery between Custer and Hot
Springs make that perhaps the tinest
drive in the world. No person should
die before taking a trip from Hot
Springs to Custer, on the railroad soon
to be built"
