ONE WAY OUT.

"A writer for Boston financial paper
suggests very simple remedy for the
financial stringency, and a remedywhich
it is exceedingly difficult to object to.
Under the resumption law of 1875 the
president was authorized to order the
issuance of certain amount of bonds
for a specified time and at specified
rate of interest. The full amount of
these bonds has never been issued, so
this writer reminds his readers, aud the
president has the power to order $780,
100000 fifteen-year AZ per cent. bonds
and 260, 100000 forty-year four per
cents. issued by the treasury depart
ment.
The presidents verbal order, then,
would place 1910, ,000,0 worth of bonds
on the market at once. They could be
chiefly marketed in Europe, though
they would doubtless be favorite in
vestment in this country at this time.
There Is obviously merit in this sug-
gestion. The bonds, If judiciously
marketed, would bring to this country
a large volume of gold from Europe and
thus allay at once the fear, not very
well grounded, that the currency is in
sufficient in volume and unstable in
value. They would furnish investors
with safe and fairly profitable en-
ployment for their money. They would
yield the treasury funds it is
sorely in need of. They would, in
short, if properly managed, provide
"A certain and speedy cure for very
large proportion of the evil that now af-
flicts the finances of the country and
give general business the assurance il
needs and must have. The interest bur-
den would be considerable, but it would
cut no figure beside the burden the
country is now laboring under, and
which the issuing Of the bonds would at
once remove.
1t is scarcely to be hoped that the
president will ever consider this simple
remedy for the terrible condition of the
business of the country, even though
1t might be approved by the great bulk
OF that business as well as by the
shrewdest of the financiers. The presi-
dents chief characteristic is to make
much of whatever difficulty is to be
overcome, that he may afterward point
to his achievement in bringing the ad
ministration through the threatened
crisis. He might long ago have averted
the present condition of the business of
the country by adopting the very same
expedient now suggested, the ordering
of an issue of bonds.

ships. This is cons.derati, OF such
immense importance as to almost battle
conception. IL is being considered by
ship builders, but it is not apparent
that the day Of its realization is very
near at hand.
10 now costs fifty times as much to
produce aluminium, ounce for ounce,
as IL costs to produce steel. The rela-
tive cost is not, of course, in anything
like that disproportion, general utility
and weight being considered.
While the cost of iron, steel, copper,
and all other metals depends largely
upon the supply OF crude ore, the cost
Of aluminium is governed wholly by the
expense of its manipulation. as the
crude material (clay) from which 1t is
extracted abounds everywhere and is
practically free.
1t depends wholly upon mans ability
to extract this priceless metal'from the
common clay and manipulate it. When
the age of aluminium is ushered in and
the world discards the heavy, cumbrous
appliances of civilization now made OF
iron, steel, copper, stone, and even sill
yer and gold, and makes use OF a mate
rial that in its first stages costs nothing,
that will make life easier to live,
and therefore better and more liable to
develop rapidly along the lines of man
ifest destiny.

SHOULD BE REASONED WITH.

If the town council of East Green
wich finds it is regarded as an asinine
and incompetent body it can only blame
itself. AT the annual town meeting the
citizens by very emphatic vote pro-
nounced against the granting OF IL
censes for the sale of liquor during the
ensuing year
II was naturally expected this verdict
of the people would be complied with
and the saloon doors closed. Such is
not the case, however, for it appears
that larger number of saloons than
ever are being run in open and fiGgrant
violation of the law and of the will
Of the people as expressed ut the polls.
The attention of the town council
has been called to the matter, and it
has appointed committee to treason
with the liquor dealers to the end that
they may he induced to comply with
the law. This course is nonsensical and
farcical, and IL the councilinen do not
change it Immediately they should be
reasoned" with by the voters in a way
that will convince them that all respect
for law has not been lost in East Green
wich.
If liquor is being sold in the town it
is the duty Of the police and authori-
ties to arrest and briug before the court
every person engaged in the illegal
traffic. If the police fail or refuse to do
their duty in this respect the town
council should not hesitate 10 expel
them from Office and fill their places
with men who are not afraid to enforce
the law. That is the proper course to
follow. To reason with lawbreakers is
simply to bring the law itself into con-
tempt and invite infractions of still
graver nature.

Another Unfortunate.

From letter received By the
KEYSTONE from Cal. C. Clawson al
Bonanza, dated February 10Th, we
take the following account of an
other fatal snows1ide, whereby one
more of the noble army of miners
has been called home:
John Lowdon, of Loon Creek,
while on his way to Bonanza on
Monday, the 18th inst, was caught
in a snowslide on Jordan creek,
about three miles from Bonanza.
Mr.. James Hooper, of the Montana
mine, on Mt. Estes, was returning
to the mine on Tuesday and no
fticed that a snowshoe track led into
the slide. He went on home to the
mine, expecting it was some one
coming down to learn the cause OF
his delay, as be bad remained in
town longer than he had intended.
On learning that all were safe there,
he sent John Wilson down to b.
nanza and Custer to give notice
that some one was buried in a slide.
! A large number from Custer and
Bonanza went up on Thursday and
dug the body out and brought it to
Bonanza, where it was buried on
Saturday. John Lowdon, the vic
tim, had placer mines on Loon
creek, twenty miles from Bonanza,
where he has mined and prospected
for number of years past. Little
is known Of him or his people, but
it is believed he was native of
Tennessee, and aged about so years.
The people of Custer and Bonanza
were nearly all present at the flu
neral. It was very hazardous
undertaking for a man to come over
from Loon Greek at the time he
did, as it had been showing for a
week past, and the snow is 5 to Z
feet deep along the route. 1t is
supposed he had started on an
urgent errand-probably for medi-
cine or for some necessary supplies.
This has been our worst winter
for years past, and mails have been
out of the question for weeks past.
The KEYSTONE, however, has man
aged to squeeze through some way
or another.
There will be some placer mining
in this neighborhood in the spring,
as there has been some interest
manifested in that line during the
past year. I will try my luck at it
again myself, as l have several
tracts of new ground near town
that | located last season, which l
intend to prospect. Nothing will
be done in silver at its present value,
but some work in gold quartz will
be started this spring.
, JOSEPH V. DoRY, of Warsaw, ILL.,, was
troubled with rheumatism and tried a
number of different remedies, but says
none of them seemed to DO him any good !;
but finally he got hold of one that speed
lily cured him. He was much pleased
with it, and felt sure that others similar
ly afflicted woald like to know what the
remedy was that cured him. He states
for the benefit of the public that it is
called Chamberlain s Pain Balm. For

Conductor Lane was hot, not q

He was evidently a cowboy and

Lane smiled as he approached

smile broadened into good humored
grin.
"How much2" asked the cowboy.
as he jingled handful of silver
in the now jovial face of Lane.
"Where to" asked the Conductor
as he opened his rate sheet with his
usual pleasant manner.
"Hell!" answered the big-hatted
individual with a drunken feer.
