WE SUGGEST to the next grand jury when it comes to investigate the homi- cides which have occurred ln the past three days, and to the coroner's jury in it's inquisltion into the case of the man found dead last night, that both honor. able bodies include in its researches certain Phoenix newspaper man who deliberately prophesied last Sunday that this would be week for "hair. curling" news. That kind of precedence is more acute than the journalistic pro- fession requires. It is suspicious and should be discouraged. We do not hes. itate to believe that that bird oi ill., omen iseither in leagne with the devil or has been an instigator Of, if not an actual participant, in these ghastly events.

A GOOD THING,

The Financial furry along the Pacific coast appears to have entirely subsided and confidence to have been fully re- stored.
 The panic was unaccouutsble and no man can say just how it was started. All agree that it was without founda- tion and all further agree that it's re- suits nave been beneficial and quite over- balance the unpleasant events, inCon- veniences and the popular scare which prevailed during the past two weeks. The wonder now is not that the banks suspended but that they were able to control the stampede even for a short time. They have however established a feeling of confidence which it appears cannot but be an improvement on the kind of confidence reposed in them by their patrons previous to the panic.
 The people of Phoenix, are subjects of cOmmendation for their noble conduct and level headedness during the storm which ragged along the coast. It is true that if it had reached Phoenix, no great harm could have been done. The local banks always strong, conducted on thorough principles and by the fore sight of their manager, fortified at that time against the direst emergency could have easily outlived the squall, which was driving financial vessels against the rocks elsewhere. But the squall never came, and the bank patrons kept their heads properly. There was really no reason why they should have done otherwlse. However, hard times may have been in other localities they certainly were never better in Phoenix than when strong banks were lot tering along the coast. Then as now vast private improvements were in progress. More men were employed in she city than ever before in mid-sum- mer. There was sn animation in real estate never before known at this season of the year.
 Large and newly begun gold mining enterprises were ih progress within a days drive of the city and altogether there was more money In circulation and times were really better than the oldest inhabitant remembered having ever seen in the Salt River valley.
 Everything went along eagerly and evenly showing the confidence of the people in themselves and the banks ,and implanting in the banks new confi- deucs in their depositors.,
 So the panic has been a good thing

DoN'T EXPECT an advertisement, says Printers Ink, to bear fruit in one night. You can't eat enough in week to last you year, and can't advertise on that plan either. People who advertise once Tn three months forget that most folks cannot remember any thing longer than seven days. If you can arouse curl- osity by an advertisement you have a great point gained. The lair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the world. Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out dam when the water is low.

FALLING SILVER.

The price of silver fell cents yester- day reaching 62l5, lower than it had ever been before since the fl st ounce of the argent metal was removed from the earth. Silver men within the past three days have been forced to the conclusion that nothing need be hoped for under the present system and all are ready to admit that to view silver as simple product or commodity is to certainly destroy that branch of mining which employs the greatest number of labor CTS. Silver can not be taken from the ground at the price now received for it..
 It was formally determined yesterday to shut the mines, mills and smelters throughout Colorado, throwing thou sands out of employment. Only one thing can occur to cause these mines to be reopened, to set the machinery in motion again in the hills or to renew the fires in the smelters. That is remonet- lzation. Silver mining is SO expensive, to engage in it requires so great ex- penditure of capital that under the con- dition that the product is to be subject to the fluctuations of market, it is likely to be entirely abandoned. Free coinage is the remedy and we believe that there is force in the country to apply it if it is only concentrated.
