The Greatest Sensation of the Ace

"IHE CRIME OFTHE CENTURY" This
is the very appropriate title or a book
that is being written by one of the ablest
Journalists Of the present time. 1t is the
only complete and authentic history that
will or can be written of the assassination
of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin, and the
chain of events that led to that strange
crime. The book is proluscly illustrated
with original and skillfnlly executed en-
cravings of the principal actors and
scenes in the Tragedy from the formation
of the plot to the close of the celebrated
trial; il also contains reliable biograph
ltai sketch of the patriotic victims. This
Pictorial History Of the greatest of Mod.
ern Crimes, is not book of romance but
OF hard solid facts and is a marvellous
eXempificatiOn Of detective skill. and of
the Tar reaching power of the law and of
those charged with its execution This
book Will be read and re-read by people
OF all ages, nationalities and conditions,
and will be sold at popular prices. Those
who secure al agency for it will be ex-
tremcly fortunate. For terms and acen-
cies' address the J. Dewing Company

Wind ON s Silver Scheme.

Secretary Window has gained a
reputation as very able financier
His new silver scheme has tie
merit OF originality. since it is I'M
like any other yet submitted. But
it presents problems which will be
received with caution and doubt:
and there will be various views as
to its destined success or failure.
1t must be acknowledged frankly
that the predictions made by the
opponents OF RECOMMENDATION Of
silver ten years ago have not been
fulfilled. There are as yet no sure
indications that, under the present
system of restricted coinage, silver
is destined to replace gold. The
business OF the country is absorb
ing more currency than it was sup
posed it could, and though the sill
yer dollars do not circulate to any
great extent, the silver certificates
issued on these dollars circulate
largely, on an even basis with other
paper money, and with gold istelf.
Secretary Window now proposes
an Issue of notes or certificates
based on silver bullion at the mar
ket value at the date Of issue. There
is to be no limit to Issue of notes:
that is, the treasury is to take all
silver bullion that may be offered
and issue notes against it. Though
these notes are not to be a legal
tender, it is believed they will cir
culate as freely with other currency,
as do the notes of national banks,
which lack the legal tender quality.
If ale full legal tender they
would probably precipitate all tran
sactions to the silver basis within
a very short time,~ since there
would be no limit to their issue
but the discretion of the secretary
and this could not be safely trusted
in n matter OF such magnitude
and importance.
The plan is an ingenious one,
and undoubtedly will receive close
examination in congress and
throughout the country. Repeated
failures ofprediction in The matter
Of silver will produce good deal
OF hesitation and check the tcnlen.
cy TO dogmatize now on the sui
Ject-a tendency that was very
common a few years ago. While
it would not be wise, with present
experience, to call WINDOWS plan
just the thing, and to predict for
it sure success, it may be said that
the plan certainly is plausible and
and does appear practicable. The
danger that business will 90 to a
silver basis is removed or minim
lied by the clause that leaves it to
the discretion of the secretary to
suspend the purchase of bullion
and the Issue Of bullion certificates
whenever it seems necessary or
proper to do SO; and the needless
expense af coming silver dollars to
be heaped up in the public treas
ury, while certificates are issued
aGeinst them, will be exchanged
Tor the simpler expedient of issu-
ing the certificates against the
bullion itself. This feature of the
plan is certainly iii accord with
business principles and common
sense--Oregonian.

THE BILL PASSED.

The silver bill now only awaits the
presidents signature to become law.
After a hard struggle, in which the dem.
ocrats fought bravely against hostile in
terests silver has gained a tirmer and
more important place in the national
coinage. The quantity to he purchased
monthly, 100000 ounces, is more than
double the amount which Secretary Win
dom condescended to buy under the lax
provisions of the present law.
Miners should now make hay while the
SUI shines. Their position is greatly in ad-
n Of those in other silver producing
countries, such as Mexico, where al
though free coinage exists, the miners do
not receive as large a return for their
products as ours. In Barker, Neihart
and all other Montana camps, the miners
should redouble their efforts to produce
the white metal which is needed so
much in commerce and tine arts.
