ANOTHER VIEW OF THE ST.
YER QUESTION.

Wv <Os0sUOsVs
EDITOR TR1BuNE-In your issue
of June 9th, common farmer
with conscientious devotion to the
truth, exposes the "huge lies" Of
one who has occupied high position
under the United States govern.
nent. OF course a man in high
position can lie, and the higher the
position, the greater the lies he can
tell. 1t is relief, in this wicked
world, to find one who has suffi-
Gent regard for his fellow man,
and the requisite courage to show
up barefaced falsehoods when he
meets them.
The point that free coinage men
should not overlook is that the gov.
vernment cannot by legislation fix
the price Of any commodity, not
even of gold and silver. The value
Of gold and silver is due to several
causes, and the amount of the
precious stuff in a coin is not in
tnnsically more valuable because
the government stamp has been
placed upon it. This principle is
assumed by "W" when he says
that silver would not be worth any
more as United States coin than as
French coin. Yet in another place,
he holds this out as one of those
base falsehoods which have
been so constantly reiterated. And
he proves the falsity of the principle
by the fact that ever since 1878
silver dollars have been on par
with gold dollars, in New York,
Chicago and Caldwell. New York
is quite a distance from Caldwell
but why stop there? As wv" was
exposing falsehoods, he could not
consistently say, in St. Petersburg,
London and Caldwell.
A silver dollar will buy as much |
as a gold dollar in the United |
States for the same reason that a |
greenback dollar will do so, be-
cause of the confidence of the PEG.
pie that the one can be exchanged
for the other at any time. Not
even the legal tender law can pro.
duce this result, in the absence of
this confidence of the people.
If the writer is not mistak ken, our
has four times fixed
the ratio Of silver to gold for pur.
poses of coinage. Yet during this
period the actual ratio has been
constantly fluctuatlng, varying
from Is in 1893 when silver
was dearest, TO 2l,SS in 1888. And
any reader of the daily papers
knows that this ratio is subject to
daily change.
That the government should not
speculate in silver will be conceded
by all. That individuals ought not F.,
70 speculate in silver is not SO plain. ,
The government does take advant- 4
'ge Of the difference between the :
bullion and coinage values of silver. q
This difference between the bullion ;
nd coinage value is due to the fic-
icious value of United States sill.
'er coin, the result of the cause :
bove mentioned. Now "W" q
FISHES this advantage to be given y
. the silver producers. That is Y
hat free coinage, as the phrase is
ow used, means. In other words,

W.
| Kasahook, a battle.scared Sho-
shone Indian who has been confined
in the Utah penitentiary for some
time, pending trial on the charge
of attempting to murder white
man, ended his career at an early
hour on Sunday morning. 1t is
certainly a most shocking case Of
self-murdsr and the circumstances
show that the Indian possessed an
unlimited supply of nerve. Hasa
hook, or Neff Dukes, as he was
sometimes called, retired to his
cell as usual on Saturday, and at
Z o'clock the next morning when
the guard opened the cell, he
found the Indian lying dead in his
bunk. An examination showed
that he had sharpened an 8-penny
nail and deliberately driven it into
the bowels at the navel, and
strapped belt over the nail to
keep it in place. His next move
was to tie piece of flannel around
his neck, and he then twisted the
rag until the wind was shut off.
Having thus fixed everything to
his entire satisfaction, he quietly
laid down on his bed and strangled
to death.
A genius has received a patent
for his automatic mixer. An &C.
centric, three inches in diameter,
is attached to the cows jaw. From
this leads wire connecting with
elastic nipples on the udder, each
of which is fitted with a valve
making it an air pump when in
motion. When the COW chews her
end, the eccentric revolves like a
piston, creating suction in the
nipple. The milk as it is drawn,
runs into a bucket suspended
below. The invention will relieve
the dairyman Of much labor, but it |
is certainly taking mean ad, ant

Ramte superintendent.
Superior Judge Catlin rendered de-
cision Saturday in the case of w. II.
Murray, the recently appointed Superin-
tendent of Ramie Culture, against Con-
troller Colgan.
Mr.. Murray sued for writ of mandate
compelling the Controller to draw war
rant for his (Murray's) salary.
The application was resisted on the
ground that the Act making the appro-
priation for such salary is contrary to the
thirty y-fourth Section of Article i of the
Constitution.
The Act mentioned is entitled as fol-
lows: "An Act to encourage the cultiya-
ton of ramie in the State of California to
Droyide a bounty for ramie fiber and TO

FASSLER,S CONTEST.
He VIII Attempt to Break His MUIR
dered Wife's VIII,

1t is said that papers are being prepared
for the suit of Siegmund Fassler to break
the will Of his wife, Eleanor Fassler, who
was murdered in a mysterious manner
at Twenty-first and Y streets recently.
Fassler will contend that fraud and un-
due influence were used by and in behalf
of Mrs. Gehrig, to whom the murdered
woman left most of her estate. It will be
alleged that Mrs. Gehrig prejudiced Mrs.
Fassler against the contestant by repre-
senting him TO be unworthy of her affec-
ton or consideration, and undeserving OF
being remembered in the will, and that
the paper purperting to be her last will
and testament was signed while the tes-
tatrix was in the frame Of mind induced
by these observations, and while her
mental faculties were affected to such an
extent by her wound that she was not
of sound and disposing mind.

How the Cool and Wet Weather Has
Affected Grain and Fruit.
The following weekly crop report, issued
by the State Agricultural Society, in con-
junction with the United States Weather
Bureau, was telegraphed East by Observer
Barwick:
Northern California-The rain has
slightly damaged hay and ripe fruits, and
lodged heavy grain in some places. The
prospects for large yield OF wheat and
barley were never better. Cool and partly
cloudy weather still prevails.
Southern California-Deciduous fruits
are doing well, except prunes. Aprfcots
will soon be in market. Walnuts do not
show up well in the Anaheim district.
The potato crop is heavy one. Warm.
sunny weather is needed to mature fruit.

WHAT'S TO BE DONE2
Eastern Authorities Doing Nothing In
Zwald's Case.


Zwald's Case.
Apparently nothing is being done by
the Eastern authorities to prosecute John
Zwald, the farmer who recently confessed
that he murdered two wives in the East
and the authorities here are at loss as to
what TO do in the premises. It is probable
that no evidence other than Zwafd's own
testimony can be secured, and as the
Nebraska and Ohio authorities believe
that Zwald is insane, it is likely that they
don't care to go to any trouble about the
matter.
Zwald is reported as being seriously i'll
at the County Jail. He has unmis-
taxable signs of consumption, and a late
severe cold has affected his lungs and
confined him to his bed. He refuses to
see anyone, and says he only desires to be
let alone.
