The Discovery of America.

Three hundred and ninety-nine years
ago this week, Christopher Columbus
came in sight of the Western Henri
sphere. To be exact, it was three
hundred aud ninety-nine years the
I4th day of the present month. Fam
liar as it is to every child at school,
and commonplace as the mention of it
seems now to be, it is really one of
those wonderful events in the history
of our world which seem like romance
when we come to learn the particu-
lars of the story. Dying in poverty
and neglect, the Genoese stepped from
a troubled life to a place among inn
mortal names. If his spirit is eogni-
zant of what takes place on earth, it
must be proud to know that all the
great nations will soon send their
honor to his achievements. To that
celebration, the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago, the whole Northwest desires to
go, and when choosing railroad
route, they will make no mistake if
they take The Burlington" 1t
reaches many prominent cities besides
Chicago, and to ascertain rates OF
fare. connections. etc, call on any
ticket agent of this or connecting
lines. or write to w. j. C. Kenyon,

Free Silver Coinage.

What meaus Free Coinage!" Ex-
actly what the terms imply, viz: that
the owner of silver bullion may take
it To the mint and have it coined by
the government into silver dollars free
of charge TO him. We do not desire
to enter the hay mist of speculation
as to possible remote results of free
coinage. Ii is plain that the direct
and immediate results would be of
immense value to the owners of silver
mines. for they are the only onwers of
silver bullion. Silver sat par" means
that sixteen ounces of silver are equal
in value to one ounce of gold. III this
relation were maintained an ounce of
silver would be worth Sl.29. But the
relative value of the two metals fluc-
tuates, and of late years silver bullion
has fallen in value SO that it sells in
the make to-day at about 81 cents an
ounce. Our present legislation pro-
yides for the purchase by the govern
ment. at the market value, of four
and one-half million ounces of silver
per month, which is coined into dol
lars. or is represented by certificates
issued by the treasury, the latter
passing as and taking the place of
money. AS the matter stands at pres
ent the government makes net profit
on every ounce of silver il buys of
about 80 cents. This profit has placed
in the United States treasury during
the last dozen years or more about
seventy.fiye millions of dollars, and by
limiting the amount of the silver COIN
age the government has been able to
keep the silver dollar at par with gold
in purchasing and debt-paying power.
BY the legislation of 1890 the coinage
was increased from two million dol
lars per month to the amount stated
above. 1t stands to reason that if we
open our minis TO free coinage all the
silver bullion of the world would flow
in upon US, as 1t would be practically
to offer the owner 80 cents more per
ounce than he could get for it in the
market.
1t is natural that the silver states of
Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and Montana.
controlled largely by "silver kings"
should clamor for an increase of this
magnitude of the price of their pro-
duct, but it is the strangest thing i'm
aginable that the agricultural states
of Kansas and Nebraska should fall
into the silver net set for them by
their astute western neighbors.

Charles Stewart Parnell.

The sudden and unexpected death
of the great Irish leader, carries with
it an inexpressible sorrow mingled
with the kindred emotion of pity that
this political lumiDary should set
under cloud. There was touching
affection in the last words from the
death.bed: Garry my love to my col
leagues and to the Irish people, :"
which should melt into harmony the
warning Irish factions, and ensure the
tiual success of Parnell's life-work.
There is no room to doubt Mr.. Par
nell's unselfish devotion to the Irish
cause. His career is the most re-
markable of that of any modern states
man. Descended on the paternal side
from old English Presbyterian stock,
his mother an American, himself cold
and unapproachable, his stubborn and
unyielding devotion to Irish self
government. gave him for two decades
undisputed leadership of the Irish
delegation in the House of Com
mons. And through his consum-
mate generalship this mere handful of
men, never comprising even respect
able minority, wrested from parlia-
ment concession after concession to
ireland, and achieved successes of
which majorities might be proud.
History will know Parnell as the great
and patriotic Irish leader, and draw a
veil over his human frailties.

Eau Claire is discussing the question
as to whether certain citizen of that
burg did right in killing a burglar.
The burglar in question was escaping
through a window with his booty,
when he was shot by a night watch
man. The burglar was heavily armed.
That ought to settle the question in
favor of the watchman. We depre-
cate the wanton taking of human life,
but the shooting of burglar is not of
that character. A burglar comes
prepared to kill if necessary TO his
escape, and is entitled to no quart
eTs. The sentimental idea that he
should be secured by smothering him
under a pillow may prevail in certain
female seminaries, but does not strike
the property owner favorably.
