GOYERs0K sTEyENsoN,s MESSAGE.

GOYERS0K sTEvENSON'S MESSAGE.
Governor Stevenson's biennial mes
sage has been transmitted to the Leg
islatnre, and the TINES favored with
a copy of the same. While not very
able or statesmanlike, the message is
fairly up 20 the usual standard of such
documents. From some Of the views
expressed therein, the TIMES differs,
however, and will state q few ia.
stances.
His Excellency, after stating that
the expenses of the Territorial Gov
eminent have been increased some
$4,000 during the past two years Tin
Guiding seine Si7,397 expended at
the Biackfoot Insane Asylum over
and above the amount authorized by
law coolly proposes that the Terri
torial share of the license and poll.tax
money be increased That is to say,
because he and his subordinates have
been extravagantly lavish to Ada and
Bingham counties, the whole Terri.
tory (most of which has not received
one cent of benefit from the Govern
ment) should be taxed to meet those
unlawful obligations We hope that
the Legislature will not permit any
such thing to be done. Money ex-
pended contrary to law should not be
refunded. This is the only effective
way to check official extravaganza.
His Excellency's views regarding
the collection Of poll taxes are equally
unsound and subversive of right The
total collections of poll taxes in the
Territory during the year 1886 only
amounted to 1862, an increase of
only about 5000 over 1885. Alturas
county makes about the worst showing
of any in this respect, as 1885 are
reported in 1885, against only 1903
in 1SS6-au actual falling off of over
one-third! Any reasonable man, con-
sidering this state OF affairs, would
naturally propose that the Assessors
be compelled to do their duty. But
His Excellency is not that kind of
man, evidently, since his-only remedy
is to re- establish the old, pre- railway,
pro- Mormon, almost ante. diluvian,
and certainly mossback rate of So per
poll, instead OF 81. An indictment
or two, for misdemeanor in Office,
may it please His Exccllency, would
be far more productive of good re-
suits, and he should have recon-
mended such method.
So with licenses. His Excellency
wants the old Territorial proportion
re- established, and to do this he wants
ALL licenses increased. If His Tx
cellency had confined his recommend
alton to the saloon licenses, it would
not be so Objectionable. But when
he advocates the increase of all
licenses, he seeks to add to the bur,
dens of a class Of deserving fellow
citizens who are already overtaxed.
He has few words to say about
immigration, which he calls an "im.
portant question:" but omits to make
n single recommendation on the sub
ject. If he intended to advocate the
establishment of Bureau of Immigra-
ton, why. in the name of common
c, nsr, Gil lc not say so?

Making Dollars.

On the Orner OF Chestnut and .Juni-
per Streets in Philadelphia is a square,
ugly building with a bed or two OF red
geraniums in front, and q United
States flag flying overheard. In the
centre of this building, in an open
courtyard, are piled-upcrates covered
with stout wire net, and guarded by
men under arms.
These crates contain partially re.
fined silver ore from Colorado, andthe
value OF each is about q thousand
dollars.
Some thirteen or fourteen thousand
pounds OF silver is melted every day,
II one out Of the grimy smelling
room in gllttering ingots. These long
bars are held each in turn under the
topping machine, which is Il heavy
steel shaft with q knife edge that
smooths off the ends OF the metal bars
as easily as if it were pairing ar apple.
The ingots then have theshape, and
a good deal the appearance, OF a bar
OF white cream candy in the confec-
TONERS jars. Each one is next put
under rollers. like dough, and fatened

The precious dough is then heated
and handed over to a gigantic
cook made OF revolving wheels and
steel bars, who swiftly cutsitmto tiny
biscuit, two hundred and fifty in the
minute. These little cakes are seized
by another machine which mills the
edges, and then pass into Il trough filled
With acid to wash them, and from that
to a revolving tub Of sawdust. They
are 10Y smooth bright discs OF silver
with milled edges.
The press which makes them into
coins is like Il monstrous dumb, intel
ligent creature. 1t is waited on by q
pretty young girl who drops the discs
into a long tube, from which this dumb
monster (who seems to be thinking OF
something greater thani it's work picks

other an eagle. The mouth shuts on

would proceed no further. A bright
and Overlooking feeling took possession
Of his soul. He felt that his trial was
at an end, and his salvation nigh.
They conversed together for q long
time, each aquainting the other with
his individual history since the even
ing they had first met; and at length
returning to the present circumstances
which had so auspiciously brought
together.
First OF ALL" said Lewis Fairhor-
ough, in allusion to his friends affairs,
81 wish you to go straight home and
acquaint them with your change of
fortune; and on your way deposit
this check which 1 am about to write
to your order"
He sat down Us he spoke, and pres
emily handed to John Landor a check
for $4,000.
"You can accept it as a loan, if you
like" said Lewis Peterborough, with
a smile, "and, should that not suffice,
remember that there is the same
amount at your disposal"
God bless you! said John Lander.
as he pressed his hand; "God bless
you!" And In another moment he
was off.
He first deposited the check; and
then, with q beating and exultant
heart, proceeded home. He could
hardly speak for a few moments, but
held his wife in his arms, at last ex-
claiming, "We are saved"
Then he sat down and told them all
of the scene in the hotel, and the
strangers deep distress; OF his ret.rn-
ing nm the money which he had in
tended fol his wife-in exchange for
his written promise never to play
again for gain. Then OF this same
strangers entrance in his office but an
hour ago, bearing his ownnotes, which
he was unableto redeem; ofthe %strang-
er's sudden recognition, and his gener-
GUS conduct in destroying the notes,
followed shortly after by his princely
loan.
"And the name of this unselish,
noble MANI" inquired his wife, still
sobbing in her Joy.
"Lewis Marlborough" he answered,
with a smile.
II will treasure it all the rest of my
life" she fervently exclaimed. "My
husbands friend and saviour!."
81 knew he was q noble fellow at
heart" John Lander said, referring
to the scene sixteen years ago. And
this is theresult! Howlittle Thought

This well-Worn World.

Our world is growing old and grow
ing cold, and as it wakes older and
colder it shrinks and shrinks, and
shakes and quivers, so that its coat
is p~erpetually getting a little too big
for it, and has to be taken in at the
seams from time to time. The tax
ing in is done by the simple and prim-
tive method ofmaking a bulgingtuck.
The Alps are situated just above a
seam, and are themselves one OF the
huge bullying tucks in question. Ac-
curding to Professor Helm, the fold
ing OF the crust has been so enormous
that points originally far apart
have been brought "A miles near
er one another than they were at the
beginning OF the movement ofpressure.
In fact, Switzerland must have been
originally quite a large country, with
some pretentions to be regarded in the
light of Il tirst-rate European power:
but its outside las been folded over
and over so often hat there is now
very little OF it upon the surface.
What it once possessed in areai it has
nowadays to take gut in elevation
only. Prof. Judd haswell shown how
great is the amount OF wear and tear
to which mountains are thus subjected,
and how enormous is the amount OF
material they undergo, in the case OF
the extinct volcano at Null, which
rose duringthe remote Miocene period
to n height of some ten or twelve
thousand feet above the sea level. 1t
had u diameter Of 80 miles at its
base, and it's great cone rose
gigantic like that OF Htna, or
Of Fusi on n Japanese fan, far
into the sky, unseen by any eye save
that OF the half-human. ape-like
creatures whose rude tire-marked flint
flakes the Able Bourgeois has Olsen
toned from contemporary strata i'll
the north of France. Since the
Miocene days, rain and frost and
wind and weather have wreaked their
will unchecked upon the poor, old
broken-down, ruined volcano, till now,
in it's feeble old age, its youthful fires
long since e%xtinguishcd. it stands a
mere worn stump, consisting OF a few
scattered hills, none of which exceed
5000 feet in height above sea level.
All the rest-cone and ashes, lava
and debris-has been washed away by
the pitiless rain, orsplit and destroyed
by the powerful ice wedges, leaving
only the central core of harder matter,
with a few outlying weather beaten
patches Of solid basalt and volcanic
conglomerate.-Cornhilll Magazine.

He Took Whiskey.

From the Big Horn Sc ntinel.
A nobby and snobbish Milford OF
British extraction travelled from Big
Horn with US and Abe Idelman on
the stage coach early one week. Mil
ord was excessively exclusive. He
wouldn't be sociable, and spoke to no
II except the two John Henry
servants he had with him, and was
altogether as unpleasant as hiss mob
bishness could make HIM. At a din
ner station there were a lot of Jolly
cowboys on n lark. and one of them
treating" everybody, asked the En-
glishman to drink.
OF course MILFORD refused. The cow
boy displayed n dangerous-looking six
shooter and very impressively insist
you know; don't drink, you know"
was milord's reply. Mr.. Cowboy
brought the muzzle i'll n dangerous
proximity to the knot in wich mil
ord's brains were supposed to lie hid
den somewhere, and then he said he'd
drink-he'd take soda water, you
know.
Soda water nuthin'," said Mr..
Cowboy. "Iou'll take straight whis-
key"
But, aw, this American whiskey, I
cawn,t swallow it, you know"
well said the cowboy, I'll make
a holein the side of your head so that
we can pour it in" and he began to
draw on MILFORD, and Milford said:

Driving AT Night,

How to illuminate a road in front of the
horses in driving at night is an Important
matter.
The usual side lamps on carriages or the
attaching of lamp to the dashboard fail to
reflect the light where it is most wanted, and
the suspending of lantern from the front
axle is Objectionable for many reasons, but
it is the best plan for shedding the light
where it is most needed that we have seen

opinion ask for it as It is now proposed to do
for Ireland.
This is a bold assertion by the old premier.
But only logical corol;ary from the position
he has already taken upon the Irish ques-
tiOn.
His description Of the constitutional atti-
TIDE of the central government under the
aspect of a parliament in Iceland, and local
ones, possibly also, in Scotland and Wales
is extremely significant.
He says: 81 have still to say few words
upon the issue which is Immediately before
