Precious Metal Production.

Director of the Mint Leech has sub
mitted to congress report on the pro-
duction of precious metals for the year
1889. The gold product of the United
States was l,5s7,0OO fine ounces, of
value of S32,S00,O00 against $33,000,0 900
the preceding year, Ofthe gold product
S3l ,959,047 was deposited in the mints
for coinage and manufacture into bars
The silver product was approximately
50,000,000 fine ounces. of a commercial
value of Si6,750,0O0, aud coinage
value of S64, GAG, AGA, against an estimat-
ed product for 1888 Of 45,7s3,632 fine
ounces, ola commercial value of S43,-
100000 and coinage value Of 500, 1885,
900, an increase over 1888 Of about A.
2l6,368 fine ounces, of commercial
value of s., 100000. In addition TO the
silver product of our mines about 7000,-
600 ounces Of silver were extracted
from lead ores imported into the United
States and smelted in this country, and
over 100000 from base silver bars i'm
ported, principally from Mexico max.
ing the total product of our mines,
smelters and refineries about 100000
fine ounces or silver. OF this amount
the government purchased for coinage
q, ,l25, 1857 ounces; there were used in the
arts about 5000 900 ounces f; exported to
Hong Kohg, Japan and the East Indies
about 100000 ounces, and shipped 10
London for sale about 20,000,000 ounces.
Colorado still maintains first rank
among the silver producing states with
an aggregate product of gold and silver
of over 24,0O0,000, Montana stands
next with product of Sl4,034,000, Of
which $l3,000000 was gold, being
about two-fifths of the total gold pro-
duct of the United States. Utah shows
a largely increased product, notably in
silver. Idaho and New Mexico report
an increased product, and Arizona and
Nevada reduced product for 1880.
The gold product of South Dakota in.
creased from $4,000 in 1880 to So
100000 in 1899. Oregon and Washing.
ton both report increased products, the
former having produced $l,2O0,OOO in
gold. The states of the Appalachian
range show slightly increased pro
duct of gold over 1888. The net loss ol
gold and silver to the United States by
the excess of exports over imports o,

The A. O. ~. w.

A short time ago the grand master OF
the A. o. U. w. in South Dakota, called
upon the subordinate lodges of the
state to assist the members of the order
residing in those counties suffering
from drouth. The. order throughout
the state responded nobly, and ita-
mediately. Under the directions Of the
grand lodge officers the funds were
diyided among the destitute members.
Twenty-three lodges have been given
over 81, 900 to enable their poor members
10 purchase seed wheat and fuel. Nine
ty-one members have received this
money and put it to good use.
This is practical charity and worthy
of emulation by every religious or ben
evolent rder in the state. 1t is such
acts as the above that serve to impress
upon the public mind that these orders
are worthy of Il cir existence and the
membership of any man. This is one OF
those instances wherein the charity and
benevolence of the A. o. U. w. has be
came known TO the world. There are
thousands of instances where its work
is never known outside of its member

imposing on the saloons Of Keokuk a
license fee Of 81 900 or So, 600 per annum,
and other restrictions. In this very
case the Peoria importer could, under
the decision, go on and sell unbroken
imported packages, without paying q
dollar of license money, exactly the
same as he can go on now free OF any
interference or penalty under the pro-
hibitory law. The imposition of a
license fee is an interference with inter
state commerce, which, as Chief Justice
Fuller says in delivering the opinion of
the majority in this case. sis matter
exclusively confided to congress by the
constitution, and is not within the
police power Of the state unless placed
there by congressional action" For If
the state could impose license fee up
on interstate commerce in liquors 1t
could prohibit it altogether by making
the fee so high that 1t could not be
paid.
The decision likewise holds good
as against local option law, or against
any restriction on interstate in any
guise or indirection. In short, the de-
cision utterly nullifes the power Of the
state to interfere with the liquor
supply by outright prohibition, high
license or otherwise, SO long as it is in
unbroken imported packages originat-
ing in other states of the union or in
foreign countries.
1t is very strange that the commenta-
tors overlook or ignore this mountain,
while they magnify the mole-hill of the
relation to prohibition.-Sioux City

A Queer Combination.

The Minnesota Star says Tom White
of that place lost valuable brood mare
last week, in peculiar manner. The
mare had young coli about eight days
old, and like all range animals, was
very timid about any one coming near
her. But Tom was bound to see tn @
colt, and 80 corralled her with several
others. After being corralled the
animals got scared at something and
made dash for the fence, this partic
ular mare rushing against the poles
that formed the fence in such a man.
ner as to drive the end Of one of them
into her breast about fourteen inches,
killing her instantly. How to keep the
colt alive was conundrum for Tom for
about two days, when the idea struck
him that the colt could be learned to
suck COW, and suck COW it did, and is
still doing, and does not seem to know
the difference, but will run nickering
towards her every time she is turned
into the yard where it is. The COW is
driven upon platform to raise her
high enough to be sucked. A calf
sucks on one side at the same time. It
must be novel sight to look upon.

Prohibition in Deadwood.

The Deadwood Times of April 30th,
commenting upon the prospective
prohibitory situation in that place, says
This is the last day Of grace. To-
morrow the penalty bill will be in force,
and for a mo nth even druggists can
not dispense alcohol, or compound of
which alcohol is an Ingredient, theoreti-
cally, at least. absolute prohibition
must prevail. What are they going to
do? is qustion involving liquor men,
often heard. 1t is safe TO reply that
they will abide by the law. Many will
retire from business, and the remainder
will conduct temperance houses. No
one, however, will suffer for lack Of
stiinulants, inasmuch as during the last
month wholesalers and retailers have
done rushing business filling bottles,
demijohns, kegs, etc., to meet the de-
mand from families and individuals.
Scarcely q habitation in Deadwood is
without supply sufficient for seige
Of at least six months, at the end OF
which time method of supply from
points beyond the state will have been
devised.
"John Treber is preparing to move his
mammoth stock to Beulah, just over
the line in Wyoming. from which point
he will fill orders for original packages.
We predict that they will transact q
larger and safer business than ever.
Franklin and Baer will take their
stock to Newcastle and transact an
original package business with con-
sumers of the Hills. The supreme court
of the United States having ruled that
prohibition cannot restrict inter state
commerce, such traffic cannot be molest-
ed.

The True Point.

There has been no end of illogical
and illconsidered comment on the re-
cent decision of the United States sup
RENE court in the Keokuk case, involv-
ing the seizure of imported liquors un-
der the state prohibitory law. The
most common blunder has been that
which regards the effect of the decision
as alone relating to prohibition.
So able a newspaper as the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. for example, says
This decision, it is hardly necessary
to point out, will deal a serious blow to
the pretensions of the prohibitionists." /"
And the Globe Democrat goes on to
enlarge upon this point as lift were the
sole effect of the decision, concluding
thus: $50 far as regards the larger
towns this means practical repeal of
all prohibitory enactments, and will
hasten the actual removal of all such
regulations all over the states in which
they exist. and the adoption of stringent
and readily enforced high license laws"
Tie Journal challenges all such one-
sided critics to show. as a legal or a
practical proposition, that the effect of the
decision as to prohibition differs by so
much as hair from its effect on "high
license laws" local option laws or
any other stringent" restrictive legis-
lation upon the liquor trade. If it
mullifies or "deals a serious blow" to
the one, then it does the same equally
to the others.
The very terms of the decision demon
strate this conclusion. The point is
simply that liquor may be shipped into
this state from other states sold by the
importer or his agent in the package
in which it was imported, and that any
law of the state prohibiting this is un-
constitutional, because it contravenes
the paramount authority of congress to
regulate commerce between the states.
This is the generalization, and in short
the facts were, that Peoria brewer
shipped beer in barrels and cases OF
bottles to Keokuk, where his agent sold
them in unbroken packages to customers
delivering them openly. The liquors
in original packages were seized in the
warehouse by state officials under the
state prohibitory law. The state courts
affirmed the legality of the seizure,
which affirmation the supreme court of
the United States has just reversed in
the decision now under consideration,
and upon the formula in substance as
above stated.
Now, the point which the Journal
makes is this: that the decision of the
supreme court is just as strong against
any interference with interstate CON-
merce in liquor under a high license
law as it is under such a prohibitory
law as exists in Iowa. In other words,
the importer can, under the decision,
evade' a stringent" high license law
precisely the same as q direct prohib-
itory law.
Take an example: Suppose that in
stead Of the present prohibitory law
! there was in force . high license law,

Reporter Of that place submits the fol-

western part of Fall River county, and
southwestern part OF South Dakota, in
the picturesque and strikingly beautiful
valley of the Cheyenne, directly on the
main line of the b. & NJ. X. r. which
taps the very heart Of the coal and oil
fields of Wyoming, and at the junction
of the new B. & NJ r. Il. now in course
of fconstruction into Deadwood, and rich
intermediate points of vast mineral
wealth. 1t is easy to anticipate what
Dudley is destined to be in the near
future. The business men that are be-
ing attracted by the advantages of loca-
ton are men Of true western grit who
will not be found tagging in any enter
prise. The soil is black loan. three to
six feet deep, and of a porus nature
absorbing all the rain in a short time
and can be easily cultivated the mex
