A Lady" Gets a Seat.

She was portly of figure, poor of attire
and wealthy of words. You could have
cut up her brogue with an AK and had
enough to last through a hard winter
She swung by q strap in an elevated car
like a rusty bologna in a butchers win
dow. \ saddle tinted gentleman from q
warmer climate comfortably reposed in a
seat directly in front of her, dreaming of
the alligators summing themselves on the
muddy banks of the bayous of Louisiana.
''Git up and give me that seatf' said the
stout washer lady, kicking the southern
dreamer on the shin.
"Whal Hool Ughl Wool'' cried the
startled colored gentleman, grabbing that
most vulnerable part of his sanatomy and
carefully moving it out of her way.
"Ain't you going to give me that seat?"
she sweetly inquired, swaying toward him
as if getting ready to drop on him.
The movement alarmed the young gen.
tleman in the next seat, and he hastily let
go of his tender mustache and rose and po-
htely offered his place.
"Thank you, thank you very much, sirl
You're a gentleman, sir, a horned gentle
man"
The young man, who had suddenly be-
come the focus of good many tittering
eyes, blushingly acknowledged the compli-
ment, but looked uneasily around for a
way out of his embarrassment She con-
tinued at the rate of $50 words minute:
II can tell a gentleman every time I'll
lay that you have a good mother, sir, as
knows how to bring children up Bless
you, sir, l see the grace of God in your
facer'
But somehow the rest of the folks didn't
see anything of the sort-only face as
red as boiled beet, and this they hailed
hilariously. While the unhappy youth
fairly plowed his way through the crowded
isle to get out of range, the saddle tinted
Southron smiled a finch smile.-New York

Opening of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Reservation May Be DELAYED.


GUTHRIE, o. T., April 13.-The scenes
among the boomers is the same old
story. The crowds continue to come in
on every train and the white topped
prairie schooners can be seen as far as
the eye can reach coming in endless
procession. The negroes continue to
arrive but not in such large numbers
and it is hoped by everybody that about
all are here who are coming. A gen.
tleman connected with the government
has arrived here and says that certain
complications have arisen over por-
tion of the allotments which will delay
the opening until May l. He is a very
prominent man and speaks with con-
hdence If this be true the immense
crowds at the towns on the scene of the
reservation Will have long weary wait
and many will suffer.

Poisonous Waste Products in the Body

In pneumonia the quicEened breathing

while at the same time the circulatory and

The Conference ON silver.

The assembling of the international sill
yer conference at Brussels, yesterday, wss
notable event. The representatives of
the leading nations of the world, VINO came
together to discuss tue question OF the
place which the white metal is to occupy in
the financial transaction OF civilized man :
kind, are clothed with great responsible
ity. If gold is to be maintained by the
countries which they SPEAK for as the only
monetary standard, disaster will come to
many others besides the workers in silver
That the world needs more money ia ac-
tive circulation seems TO be almost beyond
national dispute And that gold alone can
not supply the demand appears to be as
plain proposition rs the other. Without
silver money. therefore, the business of
the world must be measurably crippled aud
the general prosperity greatly retarded.
1t is almost Zoo much, however to expect
that an agreement Will be reached by which
silver will be restored to its place as money
with its former ratio to gold. Notwith-
standing the strong arguments of the en-
thusiassic silver men, there are two sides
to this important question, and very able
minds versed in financial lore are srrayed
on the other side. Neither DO we regard
the possible refusal TO agree to the remone-
tizatlon of silver az the harbi niger of al
the financial and moral evils that some ex-
tremists forebode. This country has man
aged to exist aud to flourish even with
silver debased to a mere commodity, and
we presume it will still live and its people
viii make some progress, il the silver con
ference shall prove failure as the doughty
champions of the white metal may view it.
One of the great difficulties to be met in
the matter of restoring silver as money is
the ratio it shall bear to gold. An ounce
of gold was valued at the beginning of this
government as worth fifteen ounces of
silver. But this proved to be unequal and
afforded an opportunity for speculation
that resulted in the non-circulation of gold.
In 1884 the ratio had to be changed to in
16. The silver dollar remained the same as
before, but the gold in the richer coin was
reduced, and the consequence was stimu-
latiou in the circulation of gold and COR
responding depression OF silver as coin.
In 1853 the number of grains of pure silver
in the half dollar was reduced. In 1873
Congress stopped the coinage of silver dol
lars, and in 1874 deprived the silver dollar
of its full legal tender power. This was
the last straw on the back of the white

metal. The effects have been disastrous in
many ways, and these have not beer re-
moved by subsequent spasmodic efforts in
aid Of silver
In 1873 the BLAND act was passed, by
which not less than 50 900, 900 and not more
than 81, 000.000 of silver was required to be
coined per month. In 1890 the purchase of
| 81. 500,0 600 ounces of silver per month by
the government was authorized. at the
market price, with maximum limit OF 81
for 27lA grains of pure silver. Only a
portion of that bought to be coined, the re-
msinder to be kept In the Treasury vaults

This Keeps silver in the condition of a
commodity like any of the baser metals
No matter what may be its price in the
market it is not made standard of values.
To restore silver to its former proud po-
sition rs money and to fix the relation it
shall bear TO gold is one of the important
problems of the period. and one of the
growing demands of the times. That re-
| monetlzation cannot take place without the
settlement OF this ratio. And how to make
1t permanent is somewhat of a perplexing
question. hut nothing satisfactory car be
effected while silver is treated as merely a
understandable product. Only by lifting it
up from the level of ordinary commodities
and placing 1t upon the exalted plane
which it occupied before its degradation in
1873, can justice be done to the beautiful
precious metal that has been used as

Ihe Goal Railrnnd nnestion.

In discussing the coal question we notice
that some of our contemporaries advocate
the opening Of the abandoned Utah East
ern railway, which ran from CoalvilIe to
Parley's park, and It's connection with the
Utah Central. BY this means, it is con-
tended, coal can be laid down in this city
at little more than half the present rates.
The purpose in view is all right, hut the
means proposed are not available Cheaper
coal would be great boon to this city,
and competing line that would be likely
to make the supply more certain, even II
the price was not materially changed
would form some security that coal could
be had when IL is most needed.
The Utah Eastern was projected with
the double object in view of assuring full
supply of coal and of bringing prices down
TO q reasonable rate But unfortunately
the company was not composed of capital
lists in the full sense Of the term, and the
stockholders were not able to push the en-
terprise to completion, nor even to keep
control of or pay the interest on the bonds.
The Union Pacific company contrived to
get possession of them, and so the road was

dilapidated and the original builders had
their labor for their pains.
1t was great mistake to let that road go
into the hands of the big corporation. But
the error was made and we suppose it can
not now be repaired. Il is not likely that
the Union Pacific company. on which we
depend chiefly for our fuel, will do any
thing to make competition possible. There

project to reopen the Utah Eastern.
There may be a question IS to the right
of the company 70 hold the right of way
and the land adjacent to it, seeing that no

who had become a citizen and taxpayer. In
this case the Indian was a member OF the Nez
Perez tribe, and when he became soldier the
control OF him was only removed temporarily
from the officers OF the Indian bureau, and it
was then as much of q violation of the statutes
to furnish an Indian soldier with liquor as it
would be to furnish it to an Indian under the
immediate control Of an Indian agent hence the
demurrer would be overruled.
With this view Of the question it appears
that persons who furnish liquor to Indian
soldiers are as liable as if the Indians so
supplied were lot soldiers. The territorial
statute is very plain and concise on this
subject. 1t is: Every person who sells
or furnishes, or causes to be sold or furn-
ished. Intoxicating liquors TO any Indian, is
guilty of O misGemeanor."- - Compiled laws,
section 1856.
The municipal provision is that "any
person who shall knowingly give sell or
otherwise dispose of any Intoxicating
drink to an Indian shall on con
viction by lined in any sum less than 500
and shall pay all costs of prosecution for
every such offense."
Thus, in addition 10 a violation Of the
United States laws, it is contrary to the
laws of Utah as well as the city ordinances

Some discussion has arisen over the le-
gality of selling liquor to the Indian sol.
diers who are quartered at Fort Douglas.
1t is claimed that the statutes and ordi.
nances providing penalties for giving or
selling intoxicants TO the redmen make no
exemption in favor Of soldiers.
We notice that a decision was recently
rendered in the United States courts in the
state of Washington which seems to cover
this ground. Judge HANFoRD gave an oral
ruling, at the same time stating that. Il
