SUPERINTENDENT ALIENS SCHEME.
The Treasury Department WIN not Give
1t ANY Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21--The offer of
Mine Superintendent Allen, of Butte,
Mont, to coin silver dollar of more in
trinsic value than standard dollar issued
by the government at the rate of 90 cents
apiece will receive no consideration at the
treasury department. for the simple rea-
son that there is no legal authority for the
acceptance of such offer even if regarded
advantageously. It is conceded that a
profit would be realized in the coinage Of
s dollar containing 400 grains of silver at
90 cents a coin, and the existing discrep
ancy between face value and bullion
value of coin is temptation to counter
letters.
Under existing conditions, however,
the remedy for this state OF affairs lies
solely with the people who make the laws,
and not with the officers who execute
them

THERE is q Judge at Olympia, Wash

THERE is judge at Olympia, Wash
who deserves more credit than will be
accorded him for refusing to issue final
citizen papers to twenty or more ignor-
ant foreigners. They made application
to Judge Robinson, of that city, to be
made citizens. The judge questioned
them and found thst they could neither
read nor write and did not know that
there was such thing a. the Constitu.
ton OF the United States, neither could
they speak a word of English. Those
who crisicise the action OF this Judge
have yet to learn that free America mus.
before long take stand against the adj
mission Of such subjects, and the action
OF Judge Robinson is only precursor of
the advanced position that must be taken
If we would protect our country against
anarchists and the results of their teach
ings. 1t is among the ignorant foreigners
that such doctrines find Judgment. The
remedy lie in preventing their landing
and becoming citizens OF this country.
No foreigner who comes here with the
intention Of making himself an honored
and respected American citizen can OBJ
Ject to this, and We are sure Americans
who love their homes and nation will
not. Other judges should follow the ex.
ample of Judge Robinson.

Tax talk OF an extra session {

THK talk Of an extra session OF con-
Eress still continues, yet the only man
who will have authority to call an extra
session after March has not opened his
mouth on the subject. Until he does,
the political gossip Of politicians will
not have much weight with the general
public. Mr.. Cleveland does not seem to
think that an extra session. merely for
the purpose of seeing how far his party
will 20 towards free trade, is necessary
at least there is a growing impression
that he does not, and when the uncom.
promising free trade wing of his party
finds this to be fact tEeir bowls will b.
heard all over the country.

The Spokane Review makes mention

The Spokane Review makes mention
pf voting machine which, it saws. is
operated by "the voter pressing button
and the machine does the rest. The
names Of the different candidates are
pasted upon as many different buttons.
The slector presses one button for eaci,
office to be filled, and that locks all the
buttons for that Office. 1t is therefore
impossible for q voter to cast more than
one ballot for his fayorite candidate.
After he has pressed one button in each
Of the series he reiires from the booth
and the election officers press . spring
and unlock the machine for the next
voter. A register open to the inspection
oil the officers tallies the num- Der OF votes
~ they are cast, and the machine also
keeps = record Of the VOTES cast for each
candidate. When the polls are closed it
stherefore only necessary for the officers
OF election 70 consult the record, and
there the total vote is recorded all ready

fhe long and tedious count, eliminate.
The expense OF printing ballots, and en-
ab'es the state to secure officers Of cleo.
lion for less fee than Is expected for
the work Of conducting the polls and
also counting the ballots as at present. |
The question for determination is
whether the use Of these machines
would open the way to additional cleo
fion frauds. II not, the sooner these
machines are adopted the better it will
be for all CONCERNED"
We have witnessed the working Of
such n machine, and from our obserya-
lion it seems better protection against
fraud being committed than either the
old or Australian systems, and we see
no reason why it should not come into
general use when its merits are better

suicide Prevented by a Dog.

A noble shepherd dog, the property of
Joseph Langin, has performed remark
able feat that entities it to wear a medal
for bravery. The brave animal plunged
from the foot of Soulard street into the
raging torrent of the Mississippi, and
seizing drowning man by the collar of
his coat swan with him to the shore,
thus saving him from certain death.
The rescued man was Joseph Reinert,
twenty-one years of age, who resides in
the same house with Langin. Reinert
had been playing cards with Langin.
Some words passed between them, and
Reinert, who had become very morose,
vowed that he would commit suicide.
He left the house and ran down to the
river. Langin followed, but by the time
he arrived at the levee Reinert had
plunged into the water and was being
swept rapidly from view. Langin was
helpless to save him, as he could not
swim, but his dog, who had followed be-
hind, plunged in and reached Reinert
just as he was disappearing.-St. Lotis

LONG Distance relephone Lines.

The long distance telephone system
has already attained large proportions
in this country. Beginning two or three
years ago, in an experimental way,
through New England and New York
state, lines were next run across New
Jersey to Philadelphia and thence on
ward to Baltimore and Washington.
Until recently the line between this city
and Buffalo was the longest in the world
used commercially, being about 45(
miles and giving excellent service. Be
tween Boston and Pittsburg, via New
York, communication is often had over
900 miles of circuit. A little while age
trial was made between Newark and
Boston, connecting through Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Erie, Buffalo and AL
bany, giving about 1000 miles.-New

Agassin's Charmed Life.

Frank Agassin, the sole survivor oi
the cave in the Anaconda mine, is in the
general ward at the Sisters hospital in
this city. He says he feels little sorer
ON his right shoulder and left hip than
when first taken out. This is ascribable
to the muscular reaction after the terri.
BILE strain of remaining fifty-five hours
in cramped position, his left leg dou-
bled up on his breast. There is also a
pain in some of the internal organs. The
attending physicians at the hospital ap-
prehend no i'll results, but say he will
recover in few days. His mind is not
the least impaired, apparently.
Agassin was born in Paris and came
to this country in 1882. He had SINH
lar experience to his late one when work
ing in mine near Georgetown, Colo.
He was caught in drift by fall of
rock that kept him a prisoner six days
before he was released. Then he had
plenty of water, as there was a spring
at the end of the drift where he was, and
was not cramped as he was this time,
having plenty of room to move about.
He had no idea of the passage of time
during his incarceration. When he
found himself imprisoned, with no pos
sible chance of escape except with the
aid Of others, he shouted several times,
but getting no answer he concluded to
keep quiet till he heard something. At
intervals he could hear the rumble of
cars passing on the level overhead. He
made no call for assistance again until
he heard the sound of his deliverers at
work, when he called out, and to his
great relief was answered. He has had
an experience such as not one man in a
million has survived, and from coming
through two such trials successfully
may be said to bear charmed life

Peculiarly Afflicted.

One family in Utica is peculiarly af-
fected. They have hay fever in the
house six months of every year. When
the trees bud the wife comes down with
it. and for two months she wheezes,
sneezes and coughs night and day. At
the end of the two months she lends the
disease to her husband, who keeps it
until the grass is ripe and haying be-
gins, at which time he transfers it to
his sister, who is also a member Of the
family. For two or three years the
family has been regularly visited by the
disease, and now the coming of summer
is hailed with anything but pleasure, for
it brings misery with it.-Utica Obser-
