The Worlds fair directors yesterday ap-
propriated $4,000 to pay the expenses of

that every regiment will be present The
trouble arose from the decision of the state
Worlds fair board that no part of the
money appropriated for the states exhibit

duced since that time to supply the
growing demands of business. The
entire production of both metals has
not been enough to keep pace with
the growth of population. There has
not been half enough gold produced
for that purpose. There is no prob
ability of an increased supply Of gold.
On the contrary, the demand for gold

France, in 1875, ceased to coin sil>
v.r, but she did not attempt to dis
parsge the silver which had already
been coined. On the contrary she
has ALWAYS kept her reserves Of gold
and silver about equal aud paid her
public creditors in either gold or silver,
whichever. was most beneficial or con-
venient for the government. The
contrast between the administration of
France in obeying the law, and the
action OF the Treasury Department in
dlsregarding the statutes Of the United
States by discrmina ting against silver,
is most remarkable.
The United States contracted an
enormous war debt, payable in green
backs. In March, 1869, an act was
passed declaring that the public debt
was payable in gold or silver coin.
The act of July IA, 1870. authorizing
the refunding of the national debt
under which all outstanding United
States bonds were issued, provides
for their redemption in coin of the
standard value of that date, to.wlt, q
dollar composed of 25.S grains of stan.
dard gold or 4l2t grains of standard
silver.
From 1873 until the present time
every obligation Of the United States
has been payable in silver. NJ Seq
rotary of the Treasury has exercised
the option to pay in silver, but in vic,
lation Of law every Secretary has
given the bondholder the option to re.
quife payment in gold, aud finally the
present Secretary, with the indorse-
ment OF the President, has made q
solemn promise, without the authority
Of law, to issue bonds to redeem treas,
ury notes which, by the act of 1890, are
redeemable in silver. The repudia
ton of silver by the Administration
and the assumption that it is not goot
money for the payment Of debts
are, in effect, a declaration that silve
oo,n and its representatives in tressur,
notes and silver certificates are no
good money. 1t Is a declaration tina
one.half of the money of the Unite,
States in actual circulation, exclusiv
of the reserves in the Treasury and i
national banks, is not good mono,

''The largest award in a damage
suit for personal injuries ever brought
in by a jury in King county was rem
dered yesterday in Judge Osborne's
department of the superior court in
the Seattle Consolidated Street Rail-
way Company. After trial by jury
upon claim for $25, 900 damages the
jury yesterday morning gave verdict
for the plaintiff, fixing her damages at
$4,000. Mrs. Annie Sears is the wife
of Frank Sears, formerly managing
editor of the Victoria Times. On
September 10th, last, she was in
Seattle on visit and was passenger
on car going to Fremont. A wagon
was on the track ahead, and when
within several hundred feet OF the
wagon. the motorman began ringing
the bell to warn the driver to get off.
The driver testified that he did not
hear the bell at all. The motorman
failed to slacken and a collision &C.
CURED, which threw both the car and
the wagon from the track. Mrs. Sears
was thrown violently to the ground
and suffered conclusion of the spine,
from which she has never recovered,
and from which, the physicians say,
she never can recover. She was brought
into court on litter. The testimony
was conflicting as to the negligence of
the motorman. He was discharged
from the employ of the company after
the accident. Mrs Sears has been at
the Snoqualmic hotel since she was
injured She was a large, robust
woman, but is now wasted away to a
mere shadow.

A Treo with n History.

Ono hundred years ago n Mr.. Mari,
of Cape Elizabeth, Me-, set out willow
slip, which grew to be n good-sizcd tree.
Mr.. Mari was IN obliging sort of per-
son, and he kept his grindstone-onc of
the few in that vicinity-undcr the will
low by the roadside for the convenience
of his neighbors. Some of the neigh
bors were ungratcful yckcls, for often,
when they had done grinding their
axes, they would try the blades upon
the shcltcring tree, SO that it's beauty
was spoiled and its life endangered.
Then Farmer Marr drove n lot of spikes
into the trunk, covering the heads art
fully with bark, and when the neigh
boring vandals had spoiled a few axes
they quit trying edges on the willow.
Mari and his nciGhbors are all dead and
forgotten these fifty years, but the will
low still flourishcs, and the ax marks
arc oblitcratcd, while the protecting
spikes are grown deep in the heart of
the great trunk.

Work nG for ONCE.
The political Mrs. Grundy is phan-
tom conjurcd by the apprehension of q
politician of what he supposes to be the
opinion of the people or of party. The
inevitable result of the apprehension,
writes George William Curtis, in Har-
per's Magazine, is to regard that gen
cral opinion as mean and unintclligcnt,
30 that the politician is often trying to
conform to 4 standard that he despises.
Instead of asking what does the public
advantage require and what ought to
be done, he wonders what he can do
that will ALLEVIATE the least votes.
craftsmanship, he says, consists in do
ing what You can, not what you would.
But the fault of that apothcTm is it's
vaguencss. You know what you would,
but no man until he tries knows what
he can. 1t is certain that you can do
safely what is generally approved. But
the vital condition of progress is that
somebody shall go first. The forward
step is not generally approved until it is
generally taken, and III arguing that it
ought not to be taken until it is Gener-
ully approved, you forget that taking it
is the way to secure approval. The i'm
portant point is not what Mrs. Grundy
says, but what she ought to say
