THE recent decision of the supre

THE recent decision of the supreme
court in the Counselman case of
Chicago, seriously impairS the inter-
state commerce law, and will render
new legislation necessary to make it
effective. The court kholds that no
person shall be compelled in any GRIM
inal case to be witness against him
self. This blocks all efforts at inves-
tigation in cases where it is alleged
that special rates have been granted
to particular parties, for less than the
regular tariff. This renders the COM
mission powerless in such cases, and
calls for action upon the part of our
law makers to remedy this weakness
if possible.

The free silver coinage question
has been thorne in the side of De-
mocracy ormany months back, and the
leaders of that party have been look
ing in all directions for relief. To 60
into the presidential campaign with
that issue as an element in it is simp-
ly inviting defeat. This the more
conservative leaders have seen for
some time back, and they have declar-
ed that the silver question was not
the dominant question; that all issues
must stand subordinate to that of
sariff reform. But some how or other
tneir say so did not relegate the silver
question to the rear: the men most
interested IN free coinage measure
would not take a back seat; some
Thing must be done to get the trouble
some question out of the the way as
the campaign is fast approaching.
so they have determined to quiet the
silver men by the proposal to refer
'he whole matter to an international
monetary congress, to be held in
chicago during the Worlds Fair. 1t
is proposed to invite the civilized ma
lions of the earth to send delegates to
such congress at that time, to ar
rive, if possible, at some agreement
whereby the VeXed financial question
may be settled for time at least.
This is the policy of the Hill follow
ing. With this question out of the
way, and the tariff question straddled:
with appropriations cut down without
regard to the needs of the govern
ment, so that the cry of retrenchment
can be used to capture few votes, if
possible, they hope to be able to get
back into power. Principle is nothing.
Spoils are everything with the gang
now in control of that party. While
the international congress will be a
good thing, and may open a way for
a final settlement Of the silver eueS-
zion, those who have suddenly sprung
this scheme care more for the effect
it may have in removing from their
pathway an obstacle to political sue.
cess, than the good that may ever
come from it.

CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN has intro
duced resolution into the House op.
posing subsidies, bounties, land
grants, etc. If the House should
take astand in accordance with this
resolution it would be fatal alike tC
steamship subsidies and sugar boun.

Congress has impaired new life into
the shipbuilding interests, but the
policy of Democracy will destroy all
this, and if the policy is continued,
the trade it would promote will never

II is said that the authorities at
Washington are tried of waiting fol
the Gillian government to make rep
aration for the outrage upon our sail
ors, and willlay the ultimation of the
United States before the Gillian Pre-
sident in dayor two. The decision
of our government to take this step
has been brought about not only by
the delay of the Gillian authorities,
but also by their insolence. Time
enough has been given to settle the
matter, but Chill does not seem dis
posed to do so.

THE visible supply of wheat at the
beginning of 1892 was $4,000, 900 bush
els. This was an increase of nearly
100000 over the visible supply of
1891. and about 100000 greater than
that of 1890. Had it not been for the
great demand in Europe the visible
supply would have been greatly in
creased, with corresponding depres-
sion in price.

S. Gumbinner, the wide-awake
agent of Selby & Co., Selby, Cal.
has been on visit to the min
ing camps of this vicinity, direct
ing attention of mine-owners to the
inducements offered by his COM
pany and the rare facilities pos
sessed for the reduction of ores
Honesty is their motto, whereby
they make legitimate business and
small margin in smelling and re-
fining ores, and they are the only
company that have stood the test of
time and retain the patronage OF
our miners. To assure the yender
of ores a just silver quotation, the
day ore arrives at their works on
cars, the quotations for that day
rule. By this provision, the miner
cannot be defrauded. Let us COM
pare this straightforward business
style with that in vogue at sampling
works. The sampling works pay
the day of sampling, which means
that you wait their option, and
when silver is tiuctuating, they
always manage to quote you the
lowest figures of the week, the mar
gin they thus make often amount
ing to hundreds of dollars.
Selby & Co. do an extensive busi-
ness refining silver and gold bullion.
On an average they refine each
month 100000 OF. of silver and
1,250,O0O of gold.
Selby & Co., as becomes their
business are the strongest advocates
of free coinage in California.

Chicago Fire.

The most remarkable art produc
tion of modern times is said to be
the new Cyclorama of the Chicago
Fire located on Michigan Avenue,
In that enterprising city. The great
work is reported to have cost nearly
a quarter Of a million of dollars, and
shows in very realistic and wonder
full manner the great fire of 1871.
The observer is placed in an Gle
waited position on the site of old Fort
Dearborn, Immediately south of the
Rush St. Bridge, and from this his
toric spot views this grand and awe
inspiring scene. To The southwest
lies the business portion of the city,
a smouldering mass of red hot ruins,
the great north side is sea OF
flames, while along the lake shore
are two or three streets that are
doomed, but not yet destroyed, CIV
ing here a glimpse of the old Chi
cago of ante-fre days. The scene
along the lake shore in and about
the old U. S. Marine Hospital and
the Rush Street Bridge is one OF in
descrlbable coniusion-thousands Of
helpless and homeless in a wild and
furious flight for safety. The whole
effect is sublime and awful in the
extreme.
Unusual care was taken to make
this grand work worthy of the sub
iect, and above all, to have it his
torically correct. Professor David
Swing and other eminent authorities
pronounce the whole faithful por-
trayal OF this great historic event. 1t
will remain as one OF the sights Of
the city until after the Worlds Fair.
