SILVER COINAGE.

One of the strangest records OF
current history, says the Mining
Review, is the opposition to the
use Of silver as currency-a metal
that for thousands of years has per-
formed this Office and in many in
stances has been the chief, if not
the only, medium of exchange be-
tween people and nations.
The various objections now urged
and the devious course pursued by
its persistent opponents indicate
clearly that the animus Of the
whole movement is self-interest and
that alone. The object is to secure
a benefit for class at the expense
and to the injury of the whole;
upon no other ground can reas-
enable objection be found Every
interest of the nation and it's citi-
Gems demand not only the recogni-
ton Of this metal as factor of
national currency, but its free coin
age according to demands and re-
quirements of the people.
1t is clearly to be seen that the
obstacles are being removed and
that steadily and certainly a gen
eral change in public opinion gives
reason for the prediction that the
day is not far distant when the op-
position will be overcome and JUS
tice be done in the coinage of sill
yer, which is of such vital impor-
lance to the security of general in
dustry and national prosperity.

IT is said that an Australian
parasite that destroys fruit tree
pests will shortly be introduced into
California. Such experiments are
rarely successful and the intended
remedy often proves more injuri-
Gus than the original evil. One
example is that Of the English spar
row which was introduced into the
eastern and western states some
years ago to destroy the worms
with which many of the trees were
infested. They not only did not
destroy the worms, but injured the
fruit by pecking it, as we'll as by
their agggessiveness drove away the
native song birds.

THERE is story going the rounds
of the California papers giving an
account of Fresno man who man
Tested ingenuity and determination
in gaining a point, and who showed
himself equal to the emergency.
The story runs thus:
"a few days ago a gentleman
from Fresno registered at one OF
the principal hotels in San Fran
cisco, but as there was no room va
cant at the time he was told to re-
turn in the afternoon. His luck
was no better on his return, as more
rooms had been engaged by tele-
graph than a hotel of double the
size of the one in question could
contain. He was little indignant
and told the clerk at the desk that
he would stop there anyhow, and
offered to back his boast with 500.
Among the guests at the hotel was
young lady from the same town
as the gentleman, and for whom the
would be guest of the hotel had a
liking. He went to the young lady,
told his predicament and determin-
alton, and asked the young lady to
marry him. She consented, and
together they went to the parson
and were married. It is sufficient
to say the gentleman made good
his boast"
