Monday night between 12 and o'clock
Mrs. Willis. who was sitting at her bed
room window, saw a man advance TO the
stable occupied near her residence by
John Bacon, and she asked him what he
wanted and he went away. In about an
hour she was Mortified to see a fire burn
ing under the stable door. She quickly
gave the alarm. When the fire was ex.
tinguished il was found that the mis-.
creant had twisted a straw rope. and
saturated a stocking leg with coal oil
and set fire to them under the stable
door. These are several stables all
joined together and are old wooden
frames, so that had It not been for the
fortunate occurrence of the wretch
being seen thousands OF dollars worth
of property might have been licked up by
ire, as these stables are at the back OF
several residences on Water street and
only about twelve feet away from the
Sunday school building of the Presby.
terian Church. The stables contained
large quantities both Of hay and straw
and before the volunteer fremen
could have gotten there they would have
been raging.

was no certainty that they would get

NEW CASTLE, June 15.-There was a
breezy session of City Council last night.
The meeting was an adjourned one called
for approving and accepting the bonds
of City Treasurer William j. Ferris and
City Collector Patrick McGrory The
city treasurer's bondsmen were
Mrs. Sarah Garrett, William j Ferris
and j. T. Eliason Collector Patrick Nc
Grory s sureties on the $50, 600 bond are
James McGrory, Richard McGinn, John
Duffy, James B. Toman and James J
Toner, of this city, and Owen j. Hession
and Owen Clark, of Wilmington. Philip
Tobin, John Carlin and John Reynolds
are his security for SO. 000
Mr.. Conway moved that the usual
course be taken with the bonds and
sureties. The usual course" is TO re.
ceive the bonds and Iecord them, but not
to have them entered up against the
sureties. This has been the custom for
years, the bond of James NJ Wise, Sr
as city collector, having been the last
one to be so proceeded against. Now the
bondsmen complain that such action
would hamper them or interfere with
their business affairs.
Mr.. Taylor seconded the usual
course" motion but Mr.. Etchells OBJ
jected. NOW gentlemen" said he.
'lm opposed to that and always have
been. please record my vote as nay
That is not business and you know that
it isn't You wouldn't do il with your
own affairs and you've no business to
do it with trusts imposed upon you by
the people. As it is now. our collec
tor and treasurer, are under no bond -
practically have no security. Should a
crash come with any Of the city Off.
cials or bondsmen, the city is nowhere.
We cannot afford TO be careless with
500 600 in these days Of great financial
tlurries and l must be recorded as
against any such loose transactions as
these. Please insert my protest in the
minutes"
The protest was Of no avail and the
usual course was taken with the
bonds.

Cheap Travel.

Round trip rate from Neihart to
Chicago will be now furnished by
the Great Northern, good to return
up to November 1S at the astonish-
ingly low rate of S42 for the round
trip. This rate is made possible by
the arrangement recently effected so
that Great Northern coaches may
continue without delay through to
the Worlds fair by way of the Mil
waukee road. The arrangement
gives travellers the rate of about
cent mile from the coast and all
way points. Parties who go will
save time and annoyance by buying
tickets and checking baggage here as
there is only about 10 minutes be-
tween the arrival of the Neihart train
and the departure of the main line
train at Great Falls.

cheapening, and that we should be
speaking of s1.50 gold dollar in
stead of go cent silver dollar.
This statement has been made before,
of course, but we do not know that
anyone before Mr.. Howells has made
just such a logical and simple argu-
ment to that end. He prepared
several interesting charts, in which
he places the production and prices
of the cereal and cotton crops and
other staples since 1878, and com
pares them with the production of
silver. The charts show, with strik-
ing cleaness and finality that the out
put of silver has kept very much
nearer these commodities than has
the gold product. From this Mr..
Howell argues very plausibly that it
would be far more Just, if we are
going to have monometalism, to
make it silver monometalism instead
of gold.

The Evils of An Approaching Dollar.


When the farmer has a mortgage
on his land, the appreciating dollar
does him a threefold injustice. 1t
shrinks the value of his land, it aug
ments his indebtedness, and at the
same time by lowering the price Of
his produce takes away his ability to
pay. The land value shrinks under
the mortgage, and the mortgage
spreads out over the land until there
is no margin left for the original
owner, and foreclosure is inevitable.
The money brokers are entitled to
their principal and interest. They
are not entitled to the unearned in
crement of their wealth caused by
the appreciation of the money stand
ard
But the farmer is not the only one
who has suffered from this process.
The shrinkage in the value Of rail
roads, telegraph lines and manufac
turing plants is everywhere felt.
Investors do not like to invest in
stocks that are certain to be worth
less before they are worth more.
They will not buy on falling
market, and there is no bedrock be-
low which prices cannot 60.
If the monetary policy of the
country makes gold the only desir-
able and only secure form of proper
ty, it is to be expected that men who
have it will not invest it, but will
either hoard or loan it. Until the
monetary basis are broadened, there
will be no enduring relief for the
present depression of trade and en-
terprise. All our money is now re-
ferable to gold, and appreciates with
the appreciation of gold. Even oul
silver dollars must be represented
by gold dollars worth of silver
bullion in the treasury. Issuing
new forms of currency, payable di
rectly or indirectly in gold, will
/; afford no relief, but will rather tent
to accelerate the upward course o
gold. The United States coulC
doubtless issue without limit green
backs payable in gold, which would
pass at par, for the faith of the world
is absolute that the United States
will redeem according to its promise
even though it was in dodo eggs
The United States cannot by legisla
ton increase the supply of gold il
nature. Until this is done, how
ever, the issuance of additiona
: promises to pay gold in whateve
form will not relieve, but rather in
crease the difficulties of the situation

10 ths Edtor Of tAs Register:
SIR:-Will you kindly give short ac-
count Of the trouble just recently occurred
in the Sandwich Islands and cause Of it.
A SUBSCRIBER.
Bridgeport, O., MGy 6.
Until the Presidents special COM
missioner, Mr.. BLOUNT, now in Hawaii,
returns and his report is made public,
no accurate account Of the events that
have occurred since the raising Of the
flag OF the United States over the capt.
tol at Honolulu, can be given.
The only Information of the public
is that Minister STEVENS, with the aid
OF an American man-oi-war, took pos
session Of the capital and raised
the American colors over it at
the first sign of trouble between
LuIUoKALANI aud her subjects.
Whereupon the Queen retired, the
alleged rebellion subsidized, a pro-
visional government took charge, and
the familiar negotiations for annexation
began. resulting under the late admin
istratiOn IN the unsuccessful attempt
to force through the Senate an OBJ
noxlous treaty annexing the islands to
the United States. The treaty was
finally withdrawn by President CLEvE-
LAND, who, TO ascertain the exact sit
uation and the desires Of the people
Of Hawaii regarding the question pend
ing further developments, sent Mr..
BLoUNr as a special commissioner to
ascertain the status of the case.
The lowering of the American flag on
the Hawaiian government buildings
was among Mr.. BLoUNT's first acts.
This has been fOOlishly criticised as
''unpatriotlc," but it is evident that
those critics do not realize the difference
between treaty negotiations for annexa-
tion aud actual conquest. The United
States did not desire to seize the Ha-
wailan Islands. 1t is doubtful, indeed,
il this country can be induced to accept
them as part of its territory on any
terms. This raising Of our flag over a
free foreign government in the absence
OF any necessity therefor, was unjusti-
fable on any ground, and Commits
sioner BLoUNT's action in lowering it
can not be more open to criticism.
There has been no trouble" and
there is not likely to be any. 1t is
simply a question, first. Of the desires
of the Hawaiian people regarding an
nexation, and, second, whether or not
the United States will accept it upon
any terms.
