IMPRACTICABLR.

Tho Reno Journal, in discussing
the proposed change in the coinage
ratio OF silver says:
The silver men have contended
that . change of ratio from Is to l TO
any other ratio was impracticabls. It
would necessitste the recoinagO Of
every silver coin in Giro llstion or held
in the treasury for the redemption Of
outstanding silver notes. This would
keep the mints running to their full
capacity for years 30 that free coinage
upon any other ratio would not in
crease the amount Of money in circu-
lstion until the silver now in the
treasury and IN circulation could be
recoined. The expense, too, as fig
ured out by the treasury experts and
stated in Secretary Carlisle's letter
to Senator voorhees,, would be over
e112,Oc0,OOo.:
Tae silver men must stand by the
Populist platform, that % for the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver, at the ratio Of sixteen grains Of
silver to one grain OF gold. The dol
lar is large enough as it is, and it's
free coinage at tie mints will make it
worth one hundred cents the world
over before the new year. An act Of
congress increased the coin value Of a
paper dollar from Is cents to 100
cents, and what it did for paper it
oan do for silver. The people are not
complaining OF the size Of the silver
dollar, but find fault because OF its
scarcity.

Gresham the Man.

LAKEWOOD, n. J., Feb. 15.-Josiah
Quincy, who has been in Washington
looking after silver legislation, came
out today on Il special train from New
York and had a long talk with Don
NJ. Dickinson and Cleveland. Quincy
left for New York this evening and will
probably return to Washington to
make IA final effort for the repeal of
the Sherman silver purchase act at
this session OF congress. When this
portfolio was offered Judge Gresham he
at first refused to consider the prOpo-
sition. Since this offer was made,
however, Cleveland has been bringing
strong influence TO bear on Judge
Gresham TO persuade him to recon-
slider the matter and enter the cabi-
net. 1t is now said that +. j. Phelps
was the man whom Cleveland wanted
for his secretary of state. but Just at
this time Phelps Is engaged on Bering
sea negotiations. Then Judge Gresh-

A ROMANTIC MEETING.
Two Brothers Meet at FoIt Benton for the
First Time
TRiver Press.l

lRiver Press.l
a pleasant and romantic meeting OF
brothers occurred on Thursday oflast
week, in Fort Benton, the persons be-
ing Oscar Johnson and his brother,
James, whom he never had the pleas
ure of seeing before. Ofthe two broth
ers Oscar is aged 81 years, while James
has Just completed his 2Sth year.
Their parents, formerly residents OF
Ohio, moved to Illinois in 1850, where
in 1861, Oscar was born. Three
years later, at the birth of James
Johnston, the mother died, and the
two little ones were sent back to their
grand parents IN Ohio, Oscar being
sent to his fathers people, while the
babe. James. was reared by his
mothers parents in Coshoeton county.
After a few years the father remar-
ried, and again Oscar was removed to
Illinois, from there going to Colorado
and Utah, and finally drifting to Mon
tana, OF which state he has been a
resident for ten years, the last six be-
ing spent at Fort Benton.
The grandparents OF James objected
so strongly to his being taken from
them that he was allowed to remain
in Ohio, where he lived until he had
attained his majority. He then went
to Kansas, engaged in the mercantile
business, was burned out, and drifted
to British Columbia. From there he
went to Washington and during the
past tour years his father has not
heard from him.
Recently, at the solicitation OF his
| father, Oscar made numerous inquir-
les by letter in all the principal towns
on the coast, seeklns information re-
garding his brother, but as he had
never seen James, nor had his father
since he was two weeks OF age, the de-
scription was very meagre and his
search unavailing.
On Thursday last Oscar drove up to
the depot, and when the train from
| the west pulled in. among the arrivals
who took passage in Oscars hack was
one who was almost his double. Ar
irving at the hotel he paid the usual
80 cent fare and then enquired for Os-
car Johnston. A look from each of
the brothers,sufficed, an1 for the first
time in life they met each other.
During the past three years James
Johnston has been a resident of Cor
wallis, Ore, and few days ago he de-
cided to return to his old home in
Ohio. Arriving at Helena, he acci-
dentally overheard mention of an Os-
car Johnston in FIT. Benton, and de-
cided to go to Fort Benton to see if it
was the brother ofwhom he had heard
years before. 1t SO proved and the
meeting was most happy one.

Thesa are:

secure that end.
3. The destruction of that desire or the
estranging of oneself from it.
f. The means of obtaining this destruc-

pointed out is called the noble eight-fold
path, viz: right belief, right thought.
right speech, right action, right means OF
livelihood. right exertion, right remem-

HART'S TACTICS.
Will Appeal the Case to the Highest
Tribunal.

According to the tactics just decided
upon by Attorney. General Hart. he will
use both the Federal and the State tribu-
nails against the Southern Pacific in the
fight over the Oakland water front.
His first proceeding will be the rather
unusual one of filing bill in equity with
the United States Supreme Court direct.
Section 2 Of artcls Ill Of the United
States Constitution gives the United States
Supreme Court original jurisdiction In all
cases wherein a State is a party on one
SIDE and citizen of another State Is a
party on the other side. Accordingly he
will begin action through that court on be-
half of the State of California against the
Southern Pacific OF Kentucky, and by this
means an effort will be made to determine
the title to the property.
Mr.. Hart will take the ground that un-
der the Mexican treaty the State of Cali
fornia succeeded to all tho rights of the
King of Spain, and that under that treaty
no private riparian rights exist. He will
leave for Washington next Monday.
The other proceeding will be filed in the
Superior Court of Alameda County in be-
half of the State and against the Oakland
Waterfront Company. the city OF Oakland
and all claimants of the property in ques-
tion.
