TO DRIVE OUR SILVER OUT

TO DRIVE OUR SILVER OUT.
There is Il movement on foot
among the bank managers Of Mon
treal that will perhaps have a
bearing on the silver question
At present United States silver
certificates are taken at par, but IN
few days it will be found that
the basis, so far Ms Canadian bank
ing Institutions are concerned, will
be the intrinsic value of American
silver govern I'd by the tluctua-
tlons of markets. At present there
is an immense quantity of Ameri-
can coin IN circulation in the lead
ing cities of Canada, and the effect
of the present movement will he to
drive American silver out of
Canada just as it did twenty two
years ago, when the Canadian Gov
ernment gave an official six
months notice that there would
he n discount of 4 per cent on all
American silver
During the last three or four
years American silver has been
circulated at par by about every
body except French Canadian
grocers and street-car conductors.
But the present movement will
make it impossible for the public
to use American silver coins
except in such places as Windsor
and Brockville.

GRAND CANON CAVES.

Old prospectors tell of their dis
covery of the, entrances of caves in
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
AS they had nothing but candles,
the strong draft of air blowing
through the caves from the entrance
always extinguished the candles,
preventing exploration to any great
depth. They believe there are
great caves leading from the sides
of the canyon under the mountains
of rocks which persons properly
equipped for the purpose, could
explore with little difficulty. la
view of the fact that persons who
have tried to drill wells on the
high mesas in the surrounding
country have lost their drills in
the bowels of the earth, and strong
currents of air would come whistl-
ing up through the hole made by
the drill, it would seem that the
section was all honey-combed with
deep underground caverns and
these air currents come from the
openings in the sides of the Grande
canyon. Whether this is true or
not, there are certainly sufficient
surface indications to prompt a SER

probabilities most remuneratIve

AN INDIAN OPINION.

Major Peter Rouan. the agent of
the Flathead Indians in Western
Montana, recently purchased a
fine-blooded but ugly-faced bull
dog. lie did not get the animal
SO much for his usefulness as a
watchdog as to give his Indian
wards a chance to study a new
specimen and perhaps to find out
what their opinions would be on
the subject Of this novel creature.
The appearance of such a
strange quadruped caused great
excitement among the red men of
the forest" They seemed to con-
slider hlm an extraordinary sort of
a dog and held long consultations
on his various points The chiefs
OF the tribe, after long pow-wow,
decided to call him a name of their
own-"The good. bad dog"
The name seems a little curious
and is worth studying The. FIRST
adjective, probably, the Indians
put in for the sake OF being com
plimentary, perhaps from feeling
that it was safest to be polite in
addressing SO formidable an
animal. II shows little bit Of
Indian diplomacy which is funny
But the second adjective shows
that, after all, they had strict
regard for truth and wanted to
describe that dog accurately il it
took all their vocabulary to do it.
Aud so the indians estimate

ABANDONING GERMAN
SILVER MINES.

In consequence of the fall of
silver the SaXouy government has
decided not to complete Its work
on the observation-disclosures STOLEN,
the longest tunnel in the world.
The tunnel was intended to drain
water from all the Freiberg silver
mines and carry tito the Elbe.
The main Tunnel is of the same
length as the st. Gothard tunnel.
Its branches, however, extend p
miles to It's length, making the
total extent almost 30 miles. The
tunnel was begun at state expense
in 1914 and 33 years of continuous
work it was opened in April, 1877.
Hundreds of men are thrown OUT
of employment by the govern
ment's decision and it is expected
that many more will follow, as
most of the Freiberg mines, once
thu pride of Germany, have been
rendered unremunerative by the
fall of silver. Work in the mines
was begun in 1900, and has pro-
duced 100000 Prussian pounds,
or S50,000,000 marks worth of
silver.

John Howard and wife, of Seattle
are fast winning their waget oi
$1,000 that they could walk from
Seattle to Chicago between March
10 and Sept. 1. Four persons
started from Seattle, but two gave

The terms of the wager are that
every foot of the distance shall be

A BAYoNEr YEAR.


There are more bayonets this
year than usual In fact, this is q
great year for bsyonets The
militia or the Federal troops are
out in Pennsylvania, in New York,
IN Tennessee, in Wyoming, in
Idaho That is all for the present,
but it will do for the present.
Now let us see on whose account
this Mailed Hand policy is made
necessary In Pennsylvania Mr..
Andrew Carnegie stands sponsor
for the bayonet already, and Mr.
annamaker is ready to re-enforce
him If bayonets are needed to
keep up the dividends on his rail
load trust shares.
In New York 1t is IN behalf of
the Vanderbilts aud theirrepresen-
tative, Mr., Chauncey Depew, who
was so largely instrumental in
aiding Mr.. Harrison . oificeholders
to renominate him at Minneapolis.
In TeDnt s.ee il is in behalf OF
Mr. Thomas Platt, Republican ex-
Senator from New York and CON
- Iabz. n,~,.t.natz.
In Wyoming it was in behalf OF
the cattle barons, who cantrol the
Republican party in that State.
In Idaho it WAS in behalf OF a
plutocratio corporation in thorough
sympathy with the Harrison bayo-
net policy.
In all these States the bayenet
WAS no longer avoldahle. The
workingmen, who had become des-
perate, are badly educated and
unaccustomed to the use of in
telligent effort to obtain redress
for grievances and remedies for
wrongs Under the oppressive
effects of the Plutocratic system
they became so brutally violent
that the bayonet was necessary to
restore order. But what are we
to do about it? Are we to rely ON
the bayonet as the chief support of
American institutions
Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Carnegie, Mr..
W Wannamaker, Mr.. Platt, all Force
Bill Radicals and Force Bill
Plutocrats will answer in the
affirmative; for they bsIieys that
here can be no good government
unless it is bayonet government.
Il is impossible even to convince
lem that al election is fair
unless there are bayonets under
heir control, controlling the ballot
Do=es.
When laboring men, becoming
resort to brutal violence
Democrats bring them back TO
,eace and order, aud show them
low to right their wrongs at the
,allot box. But the Plutocrat,
enanding a bayonet settlement of
II such differences. demands like
rise a bayonet control OF the
allot.
There are a good many bsyonets

enrich them by sending them b,
mail to persons whose signatures
they coveted, with a request t.
inscribe and return. But with ad
,yancing civilization in AmerIc,
both public men and private citl
zens have grown obdurate in the
m after of authograph giving, mas
much as broadcast signatures have
been found apt to turn up on letters
of recommendation, promissory
notes and in other places where
their writer's never intended them
TO go. The practice of autograph
collecting has fallen, as Mr. Cleve-
land could never have said, "out of
fashion," and is now followed only
in the remote interior of the coun-
try and by romantic ladies of mat
ure years.

able House Of Representatives by
causing this chaste undergarment
to be carried from desk to desk by
a page who lays it under the mem
ber's notice and presents at the
same time a short note from the
lady. This document Is
addressed to the representatives of
the people in general, requesting
each one of them to write his
autograph upon the petticoat.
The lady explains in her note that
it is her purpose to embroider tho
names in silk, with view to pos
sessing, when the roll of honor Is
what she is pleased to
call an ''unrivaled autograph |

And appropos to this, ! Nigh

matter Of public record, call atten
ton to another item OF recent his,
tory, in which Major Warner and
both bore part-and he very
conspicuous part | refer to the
bill pending IN the Fiftleth Con-
gress for the admission of New
Mexico into the Union as a Stats
Major Warner was member of
the Committee on Territories. At
the same Congress he and his Re
publican associates joined in recon-
mendlng, advocating and voting
for the admission of Wyoming and
Idaho. The combined population
of both Wyoming and Idaho, as
shown by the census .of 1890, was
145,090, aud the total assessed val
uation of all the property located
In both amounted to S57, ,012,S00
At that time New Mexico alone
had population of 1873, 593, souls,
and her assessed valuation amount
ed to sac, 6,041, ,010 The population
of NewMexico, therefore, was larger
than that of Wyoming and Idaho
combined, and her property yalea-
tions were nearly equal to both.
But Major Warner opposed the
admission of New Mexico to the
Union. Why? Why vote to admit
Wyoming and Idaho, and against
admitting New Mexico? The
Democratic members of the Com
mittee on Territories brought in
report recommending that New
Mexico be admitted to Statehood.
The Republican members brought
in a report opposing her admission.
Major Warner signed the report
1t was charged in that document
that the people of New Mexico
were untitled for American citizen
ship, because among other things
a large majority of them were
extremely superstitious;' that
prevailed to greater
or less degree among all classes,

some of the most intelligent of
the better class looked upon bits of
wood as all powerful in every

Mexico were assaulted. Things
