eral hundred yards in each direction,
and there are no less than three lodges
running from fifteen to twenty-five feet
wide, and not more than fifteen feet apart.
From what can be seen of the slate it
seems to be a very fine quality, being of
q dark blush tint. 1t splits well, and is of
soft substance, easily puncture6 with a
common nail.
Slate in this State has been but little
used, on account of the trouble in getting
it to market, the cost of transportation
making it too high to be used extensively;
but as this quarry is easy of access, and
being near to market it will doubtless be
but short time when it will come into
general use. For roofing there is nothing
to equal it, and it is used for several other
purposes. Mr.. CARROLL does not intend
TO work the quarry, but is willing to give
some capitalist special inducements, or
he will sell it at reasonable price.
Here is an opportunity for local capital
lists 1t Is an industry near our doors, and
one that without doubt, will give the in
yestor handsome profit.

good; but if not. it was not the boards 3
duty to order the street improved with
the new pavement.
. Henry A. Heilbron spoke in favor of
the basalt rock roadway.
Lincoln White was opposed to it. He
did not think the petition was worth any
thing, and as property-owner on NJ
street he did not want basalt rock The
cost of laying such a pavement from Fif-
teenth to Twenty-eighth street would
amount to about 5000, while the total
cost of improving P street, from Front to
Thirty-first, by graveling, would only be
S31, 900.
Mr.. johnson replied to Mr.. Whites re-
marks. He said it was nonsensical to
think that the board obtained its juris-
diction from the petition presented. Be-
cause it did not say the people wanted
crosswallxs and granite curbings, ETC.,
was no reason why the board should
hesitate. These side matters were under

did not state in their petition all the de-
tails of the Improvement.
AT the request of the Street Commits

BASALT OR GRAVEL
Property-Owners on NJ Street Divide
on the Question.

Lincoln White presented some legal
objections to the City Trustees yesterday
to petition signed by property-owners
on NJ street, asking that the street be inn
proved by paving with basalt rock (where
not otherwise improved from Fifteenth
to Twenty-eighth street.
John Kerwin said that gravel was
good enough for him. He did not want
the basalt rock pavement.
Trustee Mclaughlin said that ma
jority of the property-owners on the
street had signed the petition favoring the
basalt pavement, but Mr.. kerwin could
not be convinced that it was majority
petition, and, moreover, he did not want
outside parties to do the work.
Mr.. Lambert, the agent who introduced
the pasalt rock pavement here, said he
obtained the signatures to the petition
by guaranteeing 10 the property-owners
that his work would not cost more than
81 65 per front foot.
Albert NJ. Johnson addressed the board
and stated that, as a resident of M street,
he hoped the petition would be recog.
nlzed. Mr.. White, the attorney for those
who. were against the improvement by
basalt rock pavement, had stated his legal

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Discovery OF Fine Ledge of Slate Ac
ceSsible to Market.

About one month ago, while James
Carroll was visiting his ranch, he hap
pened to notice something that resembled
slate. His curiosity being aroused a piece
was procured and brought to a neighbor
OF his who appeared to know something
about minerals, and he at once pro-
nounced it pure blue slate. Thinking
that it might pay to prospect it a little.
Carroll at once engaged the neighbor To
omen up part of the ledge and see to
what extent it existed. The outcome was
that he found a large quarry of as fine
slate as anyone could wish TO see.

,,Iaee and examined the quarry. 1t is about
ono and half miles from Latrobe Sta

settled condition of Rhode Island in
1786, and that issued by an estsb-
lished government with an unlimited

question was not legal tender even
under the authority of Rhode Island,

WHAT SAY REPUBLICANS
PROPOSITION?

j. Ware Butterfeld, of the Kansas
Republican League, has issued an
address to Kansas Republicans in
which he advises the better organiza-
tion OF the party and more efficient
work of the clubs. He says:
When you have read your Republican paper or
other POLITICAL document, circulate it among
your neighbOrs. Invite them to attend your
club meetings, which should be made interesting
with music and other entertainments, and the
social feature should be kOpt especially proml-
nent.
In carrying out the above sugges-
tion, we propose to our Republican
friends of Topeka the organization
Of JOINT clubs, in which all parties
shall be admitted on equal terms, and
in which political issues may be dis
cussed from the standpoint of each.
We guarantee in behalf of the Peo-
ple's party to have members in such
a club, who will do their part to make
the meetings interesting and enter
tanning. What say our Republican
friends?

THE POSTAL BANK BILL.

We are in receipt of a communiCa-
tion from q correspondent upon this
subject which appears in another col
umn. We give it space because we
believe the criticisms are just, so far
as they relate to the bill which the
writer has under consideration. So
far as the position OF The ADVOCATE
is concerned, however, he is aiming
at a shadow. We have said nothing
about any bill. What we advocate is
q system, and that system is now in
successful operation in the chief civ
ilized nations Of the globe. The es-
tablishment of government banks of
some form is essential in the execu-
tion of the sub.tressury plan, and we
can see no reason why our post Offices
may not be utilized for this purpose
and thereby lessen the machinery
that would otherwise be required.
The time is approaching when radi-
cal changes must be wrought in the
banking system Of this country. The
losses sustained by depositors in con-
sequence of frequent bank failures
are of such magnitude as to render
any system that promises absolute
security acceptable to the people.
The present postmaster general
favors postal banking system simi-
lar to that now in operation in other
nations, and if we can get this with
out any Objectionable features, we
can see no reason why we should OBJ
ject to it simply because it is favored
by an opposing party. If the party
proposes to do a good thing in the
name of heaven let us encourage it.
Our correspondent will bear in
mind that it is not the bill of the Farm,
Field and Stocknsan or any other
bill that has yet been formulated,
that we advocate. 1t is sSyStem which
must be SO adjusted as to serve the
interests Of the masses and not Of the
classes, in order to meet our sp-
proval.

even with the greatest American
statesmen, what would be the out
come Of the attempt to found a re-
public, to be made up of the dis
cordant elements represented in the
thirteen colonies, OF which it must be
composed. In the other case, the
United Stated government is firmly
established. The people have no
doubt of it's stability or its authority.
It's credit is practically unlimited.
The power to coin money and to
regulate the value thereof is recog-
nized by the constitution, sustained
by the decisions of the supreme
court and unqestioned by the people.
For these reasons alone we hold the
position of the Champion to be un-
tenable.
Second-There can be no legiti-
mate comparison between the credit
of a single state under any circum-
stances, and that of the general gov
ernment. Much less can there be
any comparison of the authority to
issue money which is to have general
circulation as a medium Of exchange
among the people at large.
Thrd-But aside from the fore
going considerations there still re-
mains question of fact relative to
the particular issue of money provid-
ed by the act of the Rhode Island
Legislature Of May, 1786. The cor
respondent of the Champion asks
this question:
Does the cheaper money referred to in the
article, (the Journal Of Agriculttlre), as having
been issued hy the state Of Rhode Island, under
the act Of May, 1856, furnish a parallel or CON-
pariSon to any legal tender money that might be
issued direct to the people in the shape Of loans
as per sub-treasury scheme.
To this question the Champion an
swers yes, and refers to McMasters'
history of the United States as au-
thority. Now we affirm that the state
of Rhode Island never had a dollar
OF the kind of money indicated or
anything like it either during the
colonial period or afterwards, and
we propose to prove it by the Cham
pion'S own authority. The currency
proposed under the sub-treasury and
land loan plan is full legal tender
for all debts both public and private,
based upon the credit and authority
of the government of the United
States. Rhode Island never had any
such money even based upon its own
credit and authority. The British
parliament in 1751, passed an act for
bidding the creation Of legal tender
paper money in the colonies, and this
act was observed down to the time Of
the revolution. The colony Of Penn
sylvania was excepted from the opera
ton of the act, and its paper currency
was never disCredited by the people.
But we have to do particularly at
this time with the paper currency
created by authority Of the act Of
