FREQ Coinage.

The Commercial Bulletins Wash
ington special says; Free coinage
advocates are determined to win
il they can. Tt would not be
surprising to see Senator Stewart
or Senator Teller offer a provision
for free coinage as an amendment
to one Of the regular appropria-
ton bills. It would lead to a
sharp contest and possibly an ex-
ira session, but the attempt is
more than likely to be made. The
Secretary admit,it by silence, lest
his protest against it would en-
barrass the Administration and
party. The Controller admits by
interpreting the silver legislation
OF Congress as a declaration that
the national banks will not be
called upon to furnish q circulate
ing medium. If free coinage Is
voted 1t will doubtless be with some
provision for the issue Of paper
certificates.

TIN PLATE ARGUMENTS.


Since the election tin plate has
declined three eighths of q cent
per pound. The Salt Lake Iri-
buae says: We hope this will not
distress our free trade friends be
cause silver is steadily advancing.
and If it should 60 back to $1.25
or S1.20, tin plate, like everything
else, will advance again, and then
our friends, the free-traders, will
have an opportunity of declaring
that the advance is due entirely
to the McKinley bill, though that
does not change the status OF tin
plate for eight months yet. It
would not do to cease to work
that tin plate racket on every pos
sible occasion, because it makes
an object lesson to the farmers
which must be kept before them
for all there is in it during the
next eighteen months.

BY dispensing with the middle

ARRAY on the lvett ranch. A deaf

some a detective, had been prowl-
ing around the ranch for several
days, and JAS. Warren, one OF the
hands, spoke to Mrs. Ivett about
it, and he says she gave him or
ders to drive him away, and on
Wednesday evening he saw the
detective and loaded a shotgun
and fired at him. The man was
running and the charge missed
him. Warrants have been issued,
but as yet the officers have not
returned and no particulars can
