CLERK OF COURT.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Walter
Brennan was nominated Clerk of Courts
in this county. AT that time he was
but little known outside of Platte
vile where he had made his home in
order that he might pursue the study
of the law. Where he was known his
friends had nothing but good words in
his behalf and after his nomination he
added largely to his list OF friends by
making it bis business to canvass the
county. His pleasant address pleased
those whom he met and although his
opponent, Mr.. Geiger. was one of the
best nominations ever made by any
party in Grant County, Mr. Brennan
was elected, and took charge Of the
office in January. Ia dischargjng the
duties imposed by his office he has
surpassed the most sanguine eXpectt-
tons of his warmest fri nds, and to-day
the number OF his friends is fully as
large as the number of his acQuain-
tances. He has been prompt, accurate.
and intelligent in all bis work aud
keeps his records in faultless shape.
At the last republican convention he
was unanimously renominatCd and the
delegates were warm Ia their words of
approval of the manner in which he
had served the county. The nomlna-
ton Of Mr.. Brennan is correctly con
sdeled one OF the strongest that could
be made.

sands of bushels in his own warehouse,
 having paid the producers not their price.
 but his own, and that usually low price.
 Without going into details it may be said
 that the farmers are getting at least one- fourth more for their produce than before,
 because of this plan of cooperation.
 The stationery and other supplies used by the sixty-fve thousand postofiices in the United States amount to something. There is great brick warehouse on E street in Washington from which they are shipped. The amount of wrapping twine sent out every week is 25, 900 pounds. It comes in balls, and, according to contract, each one has four inches of string sticking out of the middle, 80 that the clerksm may be sure to unwind from the center. By this arrangement there is no tangle and less waste. Uncle Sam also consumes, in his postal service, half 6 million lead pencils every year, 1,5o0 bar rels of ink, 7,200 quarts of muoilage, 10, 900 pounds of rubber bands, 12, 900 gross of pens and other things in propor- ton. One of the most costly articles in this supply division is the scales, which are of all sizes, from the little ones that register only four pounds to those which will weigh teams and their loads. The latter, of course, are used only in the largest cities.

COM M UNI. ArIONS.
Some COnsfstencY.

Some Consistency.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 About the loudest complaint which has been made against MT. Hill by the Big Four during the last two years was the amount of work that his department was doing for the Park Commission. It was this which formed the principal subject of the investigation" of his actions by the Board of Public Works year ago, and at every session of that body the changes were rung on the services thus being rem dered by the city engineer and his subor dinates ''outside of their legitimate duties" MT. Hill having been turned out of office partly for this cause has, it seems, been since employed by the Park Commission to continue such work as he had commenced for it, and To! change of base in the Board of Public Works. At their last ses- sion they took seriously to heart the loss of the Park Commission work, and of reve- nues previously derived from it, and direct ed their clerk to notify the Park Commis- sion that the city engineers department was ready to render any services that they might require! Verify, consistency is a jewell SHAKEsPEARE.

THE SILVER SITUATION.

The silver business in this country is, of course, carefully watched in England, and it is interesting to note what is thought of the situation by such an authority as the London Economist. Concerning the tre- mendous task assumed by the United States treasury in trying to maintain the parity of gold and silver at the legal ratio while buying 54, 1000, 900 of ounces of silver for par, it says: t'Sooner or later it will find the task beyond its power, and meanwhile the policy which was intended ts uphold the price of silver is forcing it even lower down." And it declares that the accumulation in our treasury "is constant menace to the market" eff the United States were simply to leave silver to find it's true level, there would be an adjustment of supply to de- mand that would in time lead to level of prices which, whether higher or lower than tho present, would at all events be reason ably stable. AS it is, silver is suffering most at the hands of those who profess to be it's friends"
 The London Statist thinks free coinage is dead, and this, with the low price of the metal, is considered as proof that the United States alone cannot restore silver to it's old position. The Statist thinks it must be evident to every thinking man that the time is fast approaching when the American people must make up their minds, either to accept silver as the single standard of value or to stop the gov ernment purchases of the metal. Even now 1t appears that the additions made to the currency are larger than the coun- try requires. If trade declines and speculation falls off, the currency will become more and more redundant, and then something must be done. Legisla- ton has failed in every way. It has not kept up the price of the metal; it has not kept up the prices of produce; it has not given an apparent benefit to any interest, and, therefore, it will be strange indeed if the silver party does not lose ground and if next year the silver legislation is not re- pealed.
 It certainly ought to be repealed. Enough has been done for the silver men, and enough disturbance has been made in the effort to do impossible things.
