C0nImet alisn.

A Mr. Nicholas Eeeder, of Pitts
burg, Pa, has just published q
pamphlet setting forth at length a
plan for combining gold and sill
yer together in coinage, /. ., es-
tablishing composite single
standard of account The plan is
thus explained by Mr., Veeder.
The present gold dollar weighs
25.S grains, and the gdfG dollar
4l24 grains. The proposed new
ideal dollar would be composed of
1919 grains Of standard gold and
2064 grains Of standard silver it
would be a silyer-sold dollar, and
would contain 100 silyer-gold
cents.
"Tho new coin which | have in
vented, and the adoption of which
| propose, consists Of an outer
disc of silver OF the value of fifty
cents, resembling a coin with =
hole cut through its centre. In
this hole or centre is fitted q disc
of gold, also of the value Of fifty
conts. The gold is held in place
by the millings Of silver tapping
over the gold and the compression
incident to coinage. There is
double depression where the gold
Is, and the latter is too thin to adj
NIT OF alteration. 1t may also be
said for this coin that the abra-
sian comes on the cheaper metal,
the gold being protected by being
i'll n recess. In size it would be
only trifle thicker than tho pres
ent half dollar and would be east
ly distinguished in the pocket by
the central depression, and when
brought to view the eye would
readily catch the central color M
well us the special legends and
devices. The union of the two
colors in one coin will also give it.
an attractive appearance and graft
fy an artistic tastc."
Mr. Feeder commends only the
coinage Of the comotalhc dollar,
half dollar and quarter, which
would be about equal in size to the
present half dollar, quarter and
dime, respectively Speaking Of
the Interchangeable value mutality
IF this coin, the author saya:
"Ihe cometnllic, although com
posed OF two metals, is u unit, al
ways containing 100 cents. Its
purchasing power of general prop
arty might change somewhat on
.ho average according to the times,
and during u period of hard or
cheap times it would buy more,
while during times Of inflated pri-
ses it would buy less. But, m q
whole, it would be m unvarying
standard for the commercial value,
rs bullion, Of its component parts,
because the parts would always be
worth, taken together, just 100
cents. Such relation between
gold and silver in money would be
somewhat analogous to the rela-
tons in the metals in the compcn-
sating pendulum OF 4 clock, which
g.. t,v.l, r ,...l.Is.

Sam Jones, the evangelist, dis
played his thin, dropping black
muatache, No. 8 feet and bell-but-
toned Prince Albert coat to three
audiences yesterday, and preached
three rather exhaustlng sermons.
The first congregation listened in
st. Johns Southern methodist

the second heard the sermon
preached "to men only in the
Music hall of the Exposition, and

hear something salacious, and

ed and the third was smaller
congregation of men and women
representing the working classs of
society, who faced the chill of the
Music hall, at night, and opened
their ears appreciately to the
words ef the Bibles special pleed-
err.
The sermons of the morning and
night were directed ut the defense
of the careless and worldly church
people and society nisdoings in
general, but in the afternoon the
eyangelists opened his batteries

Some of The His of Farm Life.

In an article on "Rural Recrea-
tons in OEty for December,
Mr.. J. II. Dodge makes some tell
ing points against the neglect Of
farmers to allow themselves and
families suitable recreation to
compensate the common wear and
tear of rural life. The writer
says:--
There is hardship as well as
privilege, drudgery as we'll as ele-
waiting labor. There i exposure
to summers storm and winter S
cold tramping i'll the mud of seed
time; toiling early and late to Sc
cure the harvest. The hay-mak-
ing day has as many hours as that
of the street car driver. lnnOrth-
ern districts the best part of sum
mer is spent i'll making hay, and
the winter in feeding it, with little
results in milk and cheese, that
sells at seven cents, the exercise Of
lifting a mortgage is not reas-
Surfing recreation. When pur-
chaser of Dakota railroad lands is
offered but sixty cents per bushel
for wheat Mt the station elevator,
he sees no eleyating prospect of
meeting his deferred payments,
Nor does the eastern farmer find
either poety or profit in picking
rocks or making stone wall.
There is many an Investment i'll
rural improvement that promises
but insignificant GiyidenIs i'll cash.
1t is not strange, then, that we
see farmers worn With weary Ia
bors, bent with rheumatism, wear
ing III their faces deep lines of
care, and showing the need of re-
Cooperative Influences 1t has been
sad, upon an assumed foundation
of statistics, that the proportion of
the insane fr9m the country is
greater than from the city. If
true, as it should not be, what can
be the cause? The faTm-worker
WHO performs most Of his labor by
the muscles, with minimum use of
his brain, unrelieved by sociality
or sentiment, uses only one set of
faculties, while the better side OF
his nature rusts with disuae. The
isolation Of the country thus be-
comes greater solitude; with
cares, approximations, and come
times f"rebodings Of pecunlary
dependence, solitude deepeas into
melancholy, and insanity some
times follows.
The mistress Of the farmhouse
is often n greater drudge than the
farmer. The routine of daily du-
ty is more uniform and exacting.
The confinement is more circum-
scribed and naturally becomes
more irksome. She IL too often
housekeeper nurse, cook, govern
ess, chambermaid, seamstress,
dairy woman, as well as the farm
er's wife. Such substitute for
maid-of-all-work should be made
of iron. The farmer il accustom-
ed to hard work himself though it
is relieved by the ameliorations of
pure air and free locomotion, and
he fails to s1e the slavery to which
his wife is doomed because his
mother was just such slave. His
ideas comes by inheritance, and are
fortified by personal experience,
He might relieve her by relegat- /
ing the dairy to the factory, by
lobor-saviug appliances, by hiring
more help, sometimes by doing
little of this domestic drudgery
but he dosen't think of it.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGIs-
LATURE.

The Governor and the Legislature do
not work harmoniously together in all
respects, and this is but natural. For
some little time past there has been a
general inquiry whether or not the
Council would confirm the Governors
nomination for Territorial Superin-
tendent of Public Schools, Auditor of
Public Accounts and Territorial Treas
urer. The impression seems TO be gain
ing ground that the nominations will be
confirmed, but there is nothing definitely
known. 1t may be doubted whether
there is single member of the Council
who now denies the right of the Governor
to make these nominations, but some, we
understand, object to some of the NOM
inees. The objection is generally thought
to be personal and is in no
way based upon unftness. Per-
sonal dislikes are always power
ful reasons in the conduct of all
business, but they are not always good
reasons. In small communities political
dislikes are very apt to become personal
dislikes, and this is particularly so where
political feeling runs SO high as in Utah.
If such dislikes alone influence the Coun-
Gil in the matter of confirming the Gov
ernor's nominations, the Council should
throw them aside and confirm the NOM
nations. Associations in public life
are entirely different from associations

PAVE MAIN STREET.

The condition of Main street is such tha.
to cross it on foot is almost an impossible
task. If it were paved it would be impos.
slble for it to get into its present con-
dition. No amount of gravel upon it can
ever prevent it becoming as it is to-day.
10 pave the street would be an expen-
slve affair, but in the end it would be the
cheapest. Tie streets of the city are of
such width, and they are so numerous
and the city so scattered over such an ex-
tent of ground, that it is impossible to
pave the entire city, but one or two of
the leading business streets might verv
easily be paved. Let the City Council
begin with Main street, for it is the most
important street in the city. If flag
ging is too expensive, then pave the
street with cobbles, and if thev could
be dressed on one side they would make
very good pavement and one that
would last for many years. The benefit
this would be to the street would not be
confined to the street alone, but would be
shared in by every citizen who has oc-
caslon to come up town for the purpose
of trade, and all the citizens do come up
to Main street for that purpose. No team
ever goes down this street for pleasure.
and it is in no sense drive. The present
method of dealing with the street is un-
satisfactory in every respect. During the
winter and wet months the street is a
very sea of mud, while in summer it is a
dust heap if not continually sprinkled. |
We believe that every citizen in the town
desires to see Main street paved or
and one of the first duties
of the City Council to be elected on Mon
day next should be to turn their atten-
hon to this matter. The only municipal
ticket thus far nominated, and the one
which will in all probability be elected,
las upon it the names OF couple |.
'f leading merchants, and these !
gentlemen well know and fully appreciate
he condition of Main street, and when
hey become city fathers they should in
'ist that the vile condition of the street {
should be improved. All their brother
merchants will stand by them in anv
'uch efforts and if they will make per-
lstent effort to improve Main street they
will certainly succeed.

in private life, although men art
liable to exact the same qualifi
cations in men appointed to public
positions that they expect to fine
in private life. In selecting associates'ir
private life, the matter of personal likes
and dislikes must necessarily enter into
the matter of choice. But how often men
who are bitterly opposed politically are
warm personal friends, while men who
are politically associated together very
often personally dislike each other. Gov.
ernor Murray does not ask the Council to
receive into their social circle his intimate
friends, and the Council do not ask him
to accept their intimate friends as his
associates The Governor and the Coun-
Gil may be politically opposed, in fact, we
understand they are, but they have inter
dependent duties to perform and under
the very instrument which gives them
their authority. That instrument says
the Governor shall appoint certain Terri
torial officials by and with the advice and
consent of the Council. The Governor has
nominated certain men to these offices and
has sent his nominations to the Council for
their approval The question now is,
will the Council give their approval :?
If they do not, it is more than probable
that when the Legislature adjourns the
Governor will re-appoint the same men
to the offices to which they are now NOM
mated, and they will bring suit to obtain
possession of the Offices. That the courts
will put them in possession of the offices
there can be no doubt. So long as the
Legislature is in session and the Counci.
takes no action in regard to the nomina-
tions, of couse the Governors nominees
will have to wait, but the time they will
have to wait will not be very long, as
there are only about five weeks more dur
ing which the present session of the
Legislature will last. If the Governors
nominees can get possession of the
Offices to which they have been
nominated through the courts, and
of this there is very. little if any
doubt, and such being the case, is it
not far better for the Council to
confirm the nominations? If one
has to surrender point, a graceful sur
render gains almost as much as is lost.
The Council will have to surrender on
this matter of appointments sooner or
later, and the sooner they do it the better
it will be for all parties. The Legislature
Of Utah is not popular body with the
nation, for the nation looks upon them as
being obstructionists to the enforcement
'f the laws of Congress, and any un-
'easoning opposition on their part to the
awful exercise of the powers vested in
he Governor of the Territory by the Or
,anic Act is particularly fraught with evil
o them at the present time. A sense of
he true policy to be pursued at the
present time should cause the Council to
confirm the Governors nominations. We
rust it will be done that vexed aues-
ion may be settled and the Territory
ain peace u pom one point.
