FREE COINAGE.

legal tender money, prevent further
shrinkage of values, and save from
bankruptcy a thousand enterprises

But hold on; during the recent
campaign the Senator told us that
tho present law is better than free
coinage; that free coinage could not
be maintained in the United States,
because the capacity Of our MINIS is

The Appeals Advice.

The Carson Appeal contains the
following: Alvro Evans has started
a soap factory in Reno. Mr.. Evans is
a man Of great enterprise, but we fear
the success OF his soap factory. The
people Of Nevada hate like the deuce
to buy anything that is made in Ne
vada. He should go 10 California,
make his soap there, hire California
people, and then ship it to Reno,
where by charging his patrons the ex-
ira freight he would find ready sole.
This is our advice to him, but to
show that the Appeal does not. wish
TO throw cold water on a Nevada in
dustry, we will advertise Mr.. Evans
soap factory free for six months as
soon as ne starts up.

The Board Of Canvassers.

Yesterdays Examiner publishes a
d ispatch dated Carson, New, Dec. II,
which says:
The Judges Of the Supreme Court,
as Board of Canvassers, to-day filed
with the Secretary CT State an opinion
declining to canvass the returns of
the late general election, 30 far as the
same relate to the vote on the ques-
ton Of holding CONSTITUTE onal Con-
vention. They hold that their power
as Board of Canvassers is defined
by the constitution and statutes,
wherein the only authority given is
to "open and canvass the election re-
turns for Member of Congress, Gov
ernor and other State officers"
This authority cannot be extended
by implication 90 as to embrace cleo
ton returns for other officers or ques-
tions. They give as further reason
that some returns, upon the face, are
uncertain and defective. Others are
not authenticated, 80 far as related to
the abstract of the vote for and
against the Constitutional Convention.
All the Judges concur in the opinion.

A spY,s TALL TALE.


Sending Important Messages By Fishes
Across the River.
eyes, I was a spy during the war. and.
If do say it, reckon was the most
successful one that went uncaptured,"
said small, inoffensive, Commonplace
looking man in the Sherman House to a
Chicago Evening Post reporter. II was
in the rebel service and 80 was my
brother. When Porter was Smelling New
Orleans was with his feet as q spy.
And thanks to game my brother and I
used 20 play before the war was able
to send accounts from the fleet to my
brother in New Orleans Of every thing
that was going on. Porter knew from
the way in which he was frequently
forestalled that there was spy in the
fleet, and he tried hard to catch him, but
no never succeeded. And kept right
along until New Orleans surrendered
and my brother was taken prisoner.
How did I send my accounts across?
by fishes You see, when Bob and I
wore boys-We were both under twenty
when the war broke out-we used to
train fishes to carry messages across the
river. We took brook trout-they are
the most intelligent-when they were
young, tanned them. and by smear
ing fly or piece of meat
with asafetida we could catch them
whenever we wanted to. Other kinds
of flies smeared with certain kind of
Oil we gave them, but that made them
sick and after awhile they wouldn't
touch any thing but flies with asafetida
on. We taught them tba thy swimming
stratghtahead In any direction we turned
them they would find fine fly at tho
other side Of the tub; then we tried them.
in q pond and then in the river. They
swan with the accuracy of bullet,
never deviating hairs breadth, and in
a thin little tube, fastened to the under
part OF the fish with two copper wire
rings, we were able to send messages to
one another. You see one of us would
fix fish, set him in the river carefully
pointed to the spot across the river
where the other was and let him go.
Off he would swim like flash. 1 would
signal to my brother and he would drop
q line with favored fly or meat on the
end into the water, and in a few moments
he would feel q bite and up
he would pull our finny messenger. My
brother would cut the string in the fish's
mouth, read the message, answer it, and
put the fish back in the water and steer
him for me. By that way we had lots of
fun. You catch the idea? Well, when
I was with Porter that's the way I did,
He saw me fishing, as did his officers.
But they saw nothing suspicious in that.
Would you?"

This mornings Free Press says:
The Supreme Court having decided
that they had no power to canvass
the vote ON the Constitutional Con-
vention, it will have to be canvassed
by the Legislature.
II there is any power vested in the
Legislature by the present Constitu-
ton or the Statutes to canvass the

dollars to doughnuts that that body
will not canvass the vote and that no

Fashion makes certain wise laws
for the wearing of jewelry. People
who break these laws and ssum too
much are at once showing ignorance
and lack of that fine taste which is at
the heart of everything which fashion
dictates. You may have rings in
numerable-as many as the famous
being who adorned her fingers and
toes with them, but that is no reason
why you need look like a heather
goddess, or if you were anxious to let
all the world see at one time how
many golden c~irclets you possessed.
You who have the beauty of youth do
not need to wear jewelry-a little
ring if you will, a modest brooch, and
perhaps q bangle on your wrist, but
not an arm covered with them. There
is nothing more vulgar than to have
thirteen bangles, as has one girl /
know, who triumphantly points to
them and tells of their being given
each by a different admirer. Every
time she announces this fact she falls
thirteen degrees lower in the mind of
the listener, and yet, although she is
quick witted and a nice girl, she
doesn't seem to comprehend that in
exacting tribute from her men friends
she is in a way selling her smiles.
Don't wear a ring on your f%oreinger
and don't believe because a few act
resses and women who think being
odd is being individual, wear rings on
their thumbs that it is a proper thing
for you to do.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Organize for a Clean Election.

Organize for a Clean Election.
1t is quite certain that there will be
no ballot reform measure in time for
the April election in this city and
Hoboken. We have our own doubts
as to whether any ballot reform meas
ure will be passed by the Legislature
this session. The bill proposed by the
Democrats is thoroughly bad and is
not supported by any sentiment in
the party. The Republicans, while
pretending to want a still worse one,
plainly want none at all and will
go to desperate lengths to pre-
vent any from being enacted.
But let that pass. We do not care
to take up the topic in its general as
pect just now. We desire to consider
it and its bearings on the immediate
political situation. We merely desire
to concentrate attention on the fact
that the coming contest will take
place with the same machinery and
under about the same conditions as
the last.
In other words, it is possible that
the same frauds and Irregularities
which disgraced the county in No
vember may shame Jersey City and
defeat the will of the people in April.
Will the people tolerate this?
They have a remedy in their own
hands. Will they calmly look on
while rascals do as they please?
But what, they may, ask is the
remedy?
