EkEE Coinage.

A man who has made the subject
of free coinage a study says a seven
years painstaking research satisfies
him that worldwide conditions, pres
ent and to be expected, in every re-
spect comparative with conditions
formerly existing, furnish saferpre
diction of the ability of the United
States alone to maintain our mints
open equally to gold and silver, up
on our present ratio of about 16 to
l, than could have been prophesled
for Spain, when Spain alone, for
nearly 800 years, maintained this
identical ratio without fear of loss
of metal; Spain herself, being then
the great international trader of the
world.
Our conditions for prosperity with
free coinage pure and simple, after
momentary timidities shall have dis
appeared, are much better than could
possibly been have been forseen by
France.
Mr.. Lincoln is said to have re-
marked that mo question is settled
until settled right" This silver
question has been for years before
the country. 1t will not down. A
trial of equally free coinage for sill
yer as for gold will settle the ques-
ton, and finally.
Thesuggestions for a compromise
which is absolutely safe is a trial OF
the people.
That compromise would open our
minis to equally free coinage for
gold and silver, giving to every de-
positor of bullion notes of the United
States, at coin valuation, instead of
his coin; these notes to be maintained
as the equal of gold by reserve of
gold and silver in the Treasury.
A bill has been suggested which
may be paraphrazed as follows:
"a bill to grant the demand of the
fercest advocate of free coinage for
silver while at the same time assur-
ing the gold monc-metallist, with all
the wealth, pride OF character and
affirmative law of the United States,
that all the money put into circula-
ton thereby shall be practically gold
paper"

The Meeting Last Nipht Of an Unsatis-

In accordance with the arrange
menis made the night previous. a
large number OF the citizens Of Miles
City and Custer county met the men,
bers Of the Cheyenne commission last
night At the club rooms for the dis
cusslon Of the Cheyenne Indian
question.
Hon. G. r. Middleton presided and
In calling the meeting 20 order pre-
senivd In brief outline the desires Of
the people OF this section In regard to
the removal OF the Indians. He was
followed by Judge Strevell, who re-
viewed at length the unfortunate con-
dltion Of affairs growing out Of the
occupancy Of the country by the Indi-
ans. During the course Of Judge
Suevell's remarks he was Intercepted
by tie members Of the commission In
regard TO points that came up during
the course OF his address. He was
followed by Mr.. Joe Scott, whose re.
marks were mainly replies to questions
put by the commission. IL being uu-
derstoOd that Mr.. scott had personal
knowledge Of the relations Of the set
tiers and the Indians. Mr.. Scott was
followed by Captain Ewers. who by
request gave considerable statistical
information In regard to the Chey-
ennes since their location in this
country.
without attempting 10 give 10 detail
Just whatw ss said on each side, we re-
gret to cay that II was apparent from
the nature Of the queries put by the
commission, that the question Of the
removal Of the Indians was regarded
~ being an unreasonable demand; that
the Indians had vested rights that
should have equal consideration with
those Of the white settlers, and that In
the opinion Of the commission. there
was n grave doubt - TO whether tres
pass on the Indians was not as fire.
quent as trespass on the whites.
The question Of the right Of people
to reb Il against = bar TO development
and civilization such ss Il now inter-
posed by the presence Of these Indians
seemed to receive no consideration al
all. II is with regret we say that we
note this feeling Ia the commission,
but we feel that we do not construs
them unfairly In making this state
ment. The relief we looked for from
the commission, must Dow be looked
for in other avenues. II Congress will
not give IL to us, then the settler
must and will regulate matters fo
themselves.

The paddle wheel was obviously the
first instrument accepted by the early
engineers as a means Of propulsion
Long after the experiment Of II. B. NJ
s. Rather had demonstrated the con-
trary the public faith in the visible
wheel was greater in reality and more
sincere than that IN the invisible screw,
and il Is probable that it was more the
question of cost than anything else
that gained the victory for the sc-ew

The paddle engine is In itself heavier

or near the middle of the ship. Ii Is
evident that a paddle steamer must re-

liability Ia damage the propeller Is
greater than with the screw steamer,
and in the case Of a long voyage the
paddle generally worked at a disad-
