A Business Mans Proposition OF Affording
Relief To Marshal Macarthur.
A MINER reporter was met by promi.
nent business man yesterday who bluntly
accosted him, "Say. l wish you newspaper
fellows would let up on the city marshal." !"
why 2" aeked the reporter. "l'll tell you
why" said the merchant. just as long as
the war between you fellows keeps up just
so long will tbe marshal have to stay ut
the city hall and watch those records
about which so mu b quarrelling has been
done. Ofcourse, he can't be at two places
at the same time, and as he seems to be
determined to guard the books it ia impos-
sible for him to attend to the other duties
OF his office. While he is looking after
those records and keeping you reporters
off, the alleys and sidewalks OF the city are
baing filled up with boxes, old lumber,
wood. ashes, rags, cast of shoes and
manure and the - only knows what not.
You fellows don't care for this,
l suppose, but other people do,
and l for one propose to-
make a vigorous kick pretty soon
unless the thing is stopped. The city
can't afford to pay q man to devote his
whole time to trying to prevent lot OIL
reporters from getting Jim crow
reports, and this foolishness has gone
about far enough. Either the marshal or
the reporters should take q tumble, but as
the reporters are only private citizens and
work for private individuals, don't know
rs it is any of the public's business what |
they do; the marshal, though, is a public |
officer and the people have right to kick |
about him just as much and as hard as |
shey please. To tell the truth, though, / |
lon't know as our kicking does much good. |
am afraid that the only way we can fix /
matters is to petition the city council to /
BUY q safe in which the records can be /
oeked, and allow only two men, Chief /
smith and Marshal Macarthur, to carry the /
and then you lads cannot
et at then, and then the marshal will be
bile to leok after other matters"
Another gentleman who heard the last
art of the other ones growl, observed:
If you do get safe eyou'llhave to appoint
couple Of deputies to carry the comb.
alton for the other fellows" With this
lost unkind cut of all still vibrating
trough the raw and chilly atmosphere,
be reporter withdrew. fearing that il the
was kept up any longer
personal might be said.

a FRIEND OF SILVER.
Director Leech of the United States Takes
the Oath of Office.

Director Leech of the United States Takes
the Oath of Office.
Washington Special: The silver csrtii.
Gates in the treasury at the close of busi-
ness to-day amounted to So, ,OS8, 500. The
number OF standard silver dollars coined
to-day was $4,000. The New Orleans
mint paid out 10000 silver dollars; the
Philadelphia mint, 1000.
Edward o. Leech, the new director of the
mint, will take the oath OF office to-mor-
row at 10 clock. He has heretofore been
only acting director. Leech is a firm and
outspoken friend OF silver and the interests
OF the West, and will be a great improve
ment, all Western people think, on his
predecessor. A letter from William P, st.
John, president OF the Mercantile National
bank is published to-day. The writer
thinks that the lately increased circulation
OF silver certificates is due to causes which
will cease to be effective when the West and
the South stop, as these sections are about
to do, calling for money to move crops.
He says:
''1f it be proved that the secretary of the
treasury shall, in coming silver, withdraw
and cancel like sum of the United States
legal tender notes, less the sum of national
bank notes concurrently surrendered, it
will not then matter what sum we coin of
silver, because we thereby substitute a
coin of some intrinsic worth for paper of
no intrinsic value in the existing volume of
our money already afloat at par. With
the careless independence of the outside
world in the treatment Of silver we may
safely continue this proceeding, with q
result as stated, for all the time during O.
period from six to nine years, i. .. for the
time required to retire the sum of $47O,-
OOO. 900 OF legal tender and national cur
rency notes."
Mr.. st. John also urges that the retire |
ment OF legal tender notes would release
the $1OO,O0O,O0O "idle treasury 90 d" |
as reserve against them to |
swell the volume of currency, while the |
IL Iraintenance and enhancement OF the price l
Of silver would tend to wrest from England 1
the advantage of trade with India, and |
would tend to force her tn favor silver as q |
egal tender.
''If England will adopt bi-metalism, "says
st. John, 1.-THE silver question will thereby
De settled for this generation if not for CEN
,uries."
Mr.. St. John concludes with the express
lion that the monthly coinage OF silver will
lot cease at present.

MIR. M'HATTON CONTESTS.

Notice Served Upon the County Commits
sioners Yesterday.
John j. Mediation, Democratic candi-
date for the office OF judge OF the district
court, gave the county commissioners
formal notice yesterday that he would con-
test the election of Levi II. Hamilton and
that he would ask the district court to ie.
clare him elected. He states in his notice
of protest that he received 1873 OF the III
votes cast at the Tunnel precinct, No. "a,
and that the csnvassing board wrongfully
refused TO count those votes to which he is
entitled. The notice will be considered at
the first meeting Of the board, which will be
on the first Monday OF next month. The
returns, as taken by the canvassing board,
give Hamilton 3,475 votes and McHatton
1887. Including the Tunnel vote Mr.. Nc
Hatton has 3.505 votes, a majority of ~.
