The Latest on Free Coinage.

Residents of the mining districts
read the latest Washington dis
patches of the 18th inst. with little
satisfaction. The hope that the
House would support the Senate
measure for free coinage appears
doomed to disappointment. Speak
er Reed is evidently bound at all
hazards to kill free coinage. The
vote against the bill in the Senate
shows that in this opposition he is
supported by nearly all the great
leaders of the republican party, in
Guiding Allison, Edmunds, Evarts,
Hawley, Sherman and Aldrick. It
received the vote of 26 democratic
senators and 16 republican senators
total AZ. The Administration is
against it.. The Speakers arbitrary
reference Of the bill to the commit
tee on coinage, whose chairman is
a violent opponent of free coinage,
proves that the almost unlimited
power of the Speaker is dead against
it. But though defeated on free
coinage, silver may yet win some
thing by new compromise; but
it is next to impossible to reconcile
the gold-bugs and silver-kings; and
any new compromise will prob
ably be doctored to death, leaving
silver where it stands now. Silver
and lead quotations, however, still
hold good.

THE Salt Lake Tribune has re-
rersed its decision of the value of
Judge Berry's opinion, rendered
some months ago, on water rights
IN Idaho. The supreme court holds
IN the Qulgley case, from Alturas
county, that riparian rights do not
hold water in this territory, to
which Judge Berry again protests
an a dissenting opinion. The Trib-
une thought the Berry decision q
splendid argument when delivered
in his district court, but now thinks
it an extremely erroneous opinion,
and that Judge Beatty is correct
IN substance, first come first served
among appropriations Of water. The
fact is that the doctrine of riparian
ownership never had any great hold
on the Pacific coast. tits unfit for
an arid region, but it was always
difficult for Judges lately from the
East to comprehend the idea that
the common law adopted here has
usually been taken with many mod
lhcatlOns--among them in the mat

rights to flowing water. The doc
tr!ne of prior rights by appropria-
tion has prevailed, and clearly any

Boise Signal Office Closed.

The signal station at Boise City
has been ordered discontinued by
signal officer Greeley, and perma-
nently closed. That officer says in
a letter to Mr.. Dubois: "The Chief
Signal Officer has the honor to in
form you that, for the reasons then
given, it will be impracticable for
him to retain the station at Boise
City later than the close Of the cur
rent fiscal year Just at present
the services of instructed men are
urgently needed, owing to casual
ties occurring to the employees, by
which the service loses some Of it's
oldest and best observers, and in
the emergency it will be impracti-
cable longer to retain competent
observer at Boise, especially as the
term of service of the present in
cumbent expires on the 18th inst,
when he intends leaving the SER
vice. This, in addition to the other
cogent reasons referred to, empha-
sizes the necessity for closing the
station at the date mentioned"

The Silver Bill in the Senate.

The passage af the free coinage
bill by the Senate evidently resulted
from a failure at the last moment
Of the schemes and compromises
with which the politicians fa. + q fhnarl-
ciers have tinkered during several
weeks. The dispatches from vari-
Gus sources show that the admins
tration pressure was finally suffi-
cient to break up the compromise
and secure enough votes for Secre-
tary WINDOWS pet ideas to prevent
any bill from becoming a law.
Many Senators could vote safely
for free coinage with a confidence
that it would fail in the House, or
if it should pass that body, would
meet with a death blow at the hands
Of the President. Dispatches Of
Monday predicted this result for
Tuesday, and even the number Of
votes favorable to coinage. Had
the compromise been accomplished
the President appears to have
agreed with Jones and others to
approve the bill before this week
expired. He has nothing to sign
now, apparently, and Judging from
the general tone of the dispatches,
cannot consistently approve free
coinage under any circumstances.
Perhaps an wholesome terror of the
Judgment day may yet change his
mind. We will know more certainly
about the facts before going to press.
The following Washington dispatch
to the Herald of the 10Th, explains
itself:
Senators Teller and Jones have been
making count of noses and they claim
seventeen republican votes as we'll as all
the democratic votes with the possible
exception Of Mcpherson, of New Jersey !;
Wilson, of Maryland; Gray, of Delaware
and Gibson, of Louisiana. So conserva-
tive gentleman as Mr.. Spooner, of Wis
consin, admitted to me to- day that it
looked to him rs if the free coinage men
would carry their point. What action
the House will take it is yet too early to
say. Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massachu-
sets, who is an unusually leveiheaded
and clever politician tells me that on the
motion to disagree from the free coinage
Senate substitute to the House bill, the
extreme silver men will. defeat the motion
and carry the substitute through the
House. This would leave President liar
rison between the two horns of the diem
ma. Should he veto the bill, as he un-
doubleday will, it will hurt the republi-
cans irrcparably in the west, while on
the other hand he will work an equal in
jury to his party in the east by signing IT
without materially benefitting himself in
either case. Speaker Reed, however,
says that free coinage bill cannot get
through the House. He processes to
know the relative strength Of the two
forces and he estimates that the republic
can detection will be about balanced by
the democratic detection, leaving the
majority against the proposition from
twelve to fifteen votes.

The Geological Bureau.

Senator Stewart may bear some
personal animosity toward Major
Powell and his geological survey,
but nevertheless he has hit the
truth on some points of the scheme.
The Senator claims that PowelPs
strength at Washington arises from
the vast number Of young men who
are engaged by him to serve the
survey under big pay, but spend
their time and salaries about the
departments and congress serving
the interests of their master. Stew
art denounced the bureau Of geology
and minerology "as nothing but a
mass Of humbug-a great lying-in
hospital for lame ducks" Possibly
the warlike Senator knows thing
or two about the management of
the survey on the Pacific coast, and
especially Of his own state. Who
can throw any light on the opera
tons Of the band in Idaho? Some
work was done last summer, we inn
agine, yet little has been officially
communicated to the public. A
certain amount Of caution may be
advisable in operations Of this ma
ture, but absolute secrecy and mys-
terry invite suspicion and criticism.
Whether this new bureau will ever
prove Of any substantial advantage
10 Idaho territory Or not depends on
the method OF its management. It
ought to be useful in theory, but a
practical miner or agriculturalist

THE story circulating through
the columns Of many Of our ex-
changes that the Louisiana Lottery
Company intend to get foot hold
in Idaho by buying up the next
legislature, is very improbable. One
Of these papers suggests that the
company would put up q million
to carry the measure through the
Legislature. This is ridiculous.
Neither a state nor territorial legis-
lature are likely to be tempted in
that way. The idea was taken from
North Dakota and seconded here
by the champions of state gov
eminent who are doubtful about an
honest way of paying state ex-
penses here. 1t will be time enough
TO consider the proposition of a

is made. The arid lands of Snake

Typographical BIunders.

Sir Arthur Helps was, / think, over
sensitive to adverse criticism, of
which he had perhaps not enough to
allow him to grow callous to it, and
the least misprints in his own books
or articles annoyed him exceedingly.
There was a passage from his Cor
ganization in Daily Life, in which,
speaking of vliltures gathering to
their prey, he had used the VirgiIian
phrase "obscene BIRDS which had
been nisprinted 'obscure BIRDS"
The mistake was not noticed by any
OF several persons who read the
proofs in succession, and | remember
that his gratitude was quite ELUSIVE
when his attention was called to the
word just as the book was being sent
to Dress.
After all. the blunder was. not a
serious one, and was nothing like
that of the lady traveller who wrote
that the "whole wilderness was filled
with erratic blocks" and who, failing
TO revise her proofs, found that the
printers had taken on themselves to
correct her geological expression,
and that she was made to assert that
1.-THE whole wilderness was filled with
erotic blacks. THE Academy.

Of persons afflicted with mental dis
