The Springfield Sunday Ncaos prints
the following truthful item regarding d
matter of interest:
"The mis-information of the general
public is simply astounding. The vast
majority of men get their information
and opinions secondhand. Take for
instance Ex-Presijent Cleveland's let
ter on the free coinage question. His
political enemies raised the hue and cry
that Mr.. Cleveland had given free
coinage of silver black eve. He did
nothing Of the kind. He distictly de-
clared himself in favor of increased
silver coinage, but opposed unlimited
and independent COINAGE That is, he
favors free coinage to the extent of con-
suming the native product of silver;
but he opposes the unlimited and inde-
pendent coinage of silver, so that the
whole world can not dump its silver
into the United States, and thus depre-
ciate our silver currency. The intelli-
gent, leading silver men of both parties
stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr..
Cleveland in his patriotic and cour-
ageous position.n

:: G. Baird, United States customs inspector,
arrived In Seattle yesterday from Wooley with
wv opium smugglers. The prisoners, who gave
sneir names a. John Burke and Charles Clark,
were found in the possession of seventy-two i've
'aei cans oil opium, which equals thirty six

evening and wss bound over to the United

ger train pulled in at Woolley yesterday morning
II was boarded by the inspector, who was in dis
curse, a. usual. In one of the coaches sat two
men with tan colored valises The train news
boy, who knew the inspector, whispered:
See those two mugs? They're not all o. X"
The inspector watched the men few moments
ana when one of them stepped out of the car he
walked through the coach and picking up one
OF the valises in an unconcerned way started
70 walk away with 1t.
Here, hold on, you have my gripp' shouted
the second man, who was on guard.
"Well, is that so?" said Baird al sent one
uoWu mere awhile ago; THIS otneT must De mine,
and be grabbed the other one, but the man also
claimed that az his. The inspector here flashed
his badge upon the claimant owner of the grips,
who turned az white as ghost. At this
moment the first man stepped back into the car
and Baird arrested him also and asked them TO
open the valises. This the men refused to do
and said they had no keys.
They're not mine, they belong to him." de.
clared the first man, pointing to his companion;
but the latter insisted that the valises were not
his. but rather belonged to the other.
The train was now under full Roadway, and
the inspector concluded to bring the men to Sc
attic and upon his arrival to have the valises
cut open.
At Medina the train stopped for moment and
the man who called himself Burke sprang from
his seat and ran out of the car. The inspector
quickly deputized passe niger to guard Clark
and started in pursuit He fred five shots at
the escaping smuggler, and though not wounded
the man was caught and led back to the train.
On the way to Seattle the vaiises were opened
and were found to contain 500 worth OF opium.
The two men were completely squelched and
would have nothing to say OF their cases.
Clark declared it was all "put-up job and
Burke was very much out of humor The In
spector is quite certain that the men have been
in the business long time and are professional
smugglers.

SALE OF A PAUPER.
Strange Extracts From Ancient Records
Of King County.

Strange Extracts From Ancient Records
of King County.
In the oldest bon of records for King county
now in possession of the county auditor Is the
following startling entry, made June 8, 1855, by
E. A. Clarke, clerk of the board of county COM
mlssioners. The extract 10 taken literally:
present, Commissioners C. o. Lewis, Alfred
Savage and Thomas Mercer Ordered that Ed
ward Moore, the pauper now in Seattle, be sold
at public auction to the lowest bidder. His
maintenance to be paid out of the county treas
ury: said bid to be left discretionary with the
commissioners, the seventh day of June next at
2 o'clock p. M, in the town OF Seattle. Court
adjourned sine die
Why the sale should be given to the "qowest"
bidder is not explained, and, In fact, search Of
the records fails to make known that the sale
took place at all. Probably the authorities
stopped the auction. Further on in this same
old book of records was found this: "The COM
missioners allowed C. Cummings $12 for the
maintenance of Edward Moore, a pauper."
This last would give rise to the impression that
Clerk Clarke made an ambiguous entry when he
recorded the intentions of the commissioners
with regard to disposing of the pauper.
