reckon with the silver stock of the world.
Our correspondent misapprehends the
workings of free coinage. Foreign ma
lions would not ship their silver here to
have it coined into our dollars, and
then take those dollars away. In their
dealings with us they would simply
settle their balances in silver, which
with us would be of equal legal tender
value with gold, and with them would be
forty cents or more below par as COM
pared with gold. With nothing but sill
yer coming to US from abroad, gold
would disappear in this country and we
should be on silver basis. This is no
theory. The result has always happened
when a nation has had free coinage on
fixed ratio that did not correspond with
the market ratio. ALI our silver, Tex cept
our subsidiary coinage which was debased
left us before the late war be-
cause the silver bullion in the
dollar was worth three cents more than
the gold bullion in dollar England's
silver left her century and half ago
for the same reason; and in 1878 the
Latin Union found their gold leaving
them, and only stopped the drain by
stopping free coinage of silver.
5. It is true that foreign merchants have
bought bullion of us. Foreign "na-
tions" have not. And those foreign mer-
chants would be as ready to sell that sill
yer back to us if we should advertise to
give dollar for every fifty-eight cents
worth.
g. We're the United Stetes the only sill
yer producing country, and should our
government contract for all our produc-
ton at 81. 1929 an ounce-supposing the
government able to buy such an amount
lit might be that foreign peoples would
have to come up to our price. But Mexi-
co and South America are great silver
producing countries, and hundreds of
mines that are now idle because they do
not pay with the price Of silver
low, would start up as the price
rose. Then, too, the needs of
foreigners are indefinite. England uses
silver to settle her balances of trade
with India and China, largely because
it is cheaper than gold for her to get,
and does nearly as well in those east
ern countries, which have not yetactually
awakened to the realization that silver has
fallen. But if silver should rise to parity
with gold, English merchants would not
care particularly for silver, as they might
use gold.
The laws of that department of finance
relating to money are not definitely estab-
lished; and men differ in regard to them.
But the examples of the past are the best
guides; and those examples contradict

Alaska,s Abundance of Fish.

The Alaskan Steamship Company is
almost as accommodating as regards fish
ing as the railroad trains down South,
which stop to let the passenger pick
flowers But one of the skipper's bulle-
tins announcing fishing excursion was
regarded by everybody as sample of
Capt. Carroll's good natured humor. Tt
read something like this: "We will go
on shore at 2 p. M. for two hours, and all
passengers wishing to catch salmon can
do So All that you will require as fish
ing gear we will be sharp finger nails,
buttonhooks and pins. "hairpins."
At 2 o'clock we were led to little
stream that rushed foaming through the
pines and cedars to see a sight that
would make old Isaac Walton turn in his
grave. There were salmon by the thous-
ands. In places for twenty feet the fish
were SO thick you could not see the bot
tom of the shallow stream, and where
the water rushed over small fall you
could see line of black tails from shore
to shore. This may sound very much
like Sunday fish story, but can bring
witnesses who will swear to 1t with pho
tographs taken on the spot and indis-
putable evidence The passengers gath
cred enough salmon to last the ship for
some time. Several succeeded in catching

with barb-pointed spear. A net drawn
at the mouth of the stream by the salmon
cannery day or so before pulled in 20,-
600 pounds of salmon, ten tons of fish. /
There is a peculiar kind of fish found
in Alaskan waters which is quite plenti-
full, called the candle fish. 1t is about
the the size Of smelt, which it resema-

six or seven feet long, the teeth being
made of bone or sharp pointed nails.
While the canoe is padded by one Indian

Abill is to be presented in both House
and Senate increasing the possible list of
United States pensioners by the full
number of government employees. The
bill, which is the outcome of the Ford S
theatre disaster, provides. for pensioning
all government employees who may be in
jured while in it's employment, and the
dependent families of those who may be
killed, and all who may be retired after
serving twenty years. Widows are to be
pensioned during life or widowhood,
minor children during their minority,
and retired employees during life. The
rate of pension is to be one-half the
wages or salary received at the time of
the injury or retirement, excepting that
where the injury is received in govern

on government service the full salary
shall be continued during disability,

Senator Stewart in his speech on Thurs
day attempted to defend the claim of
the silver men that the characterization
act of 1878 was surreptitious. He said
that the act was not discussed in any
political campaign nor by the news
papers. But it was discussed in the SEN
ate and in the House, and Mr.. Stewart
was member of the former body at the
time and voted for it. For him to say
that he didn't know what the act meant
is to impeach.h own intelligence. If,
as he confesses, he was so obtuse in 1878
as to vote for an act that the friends of
silver say struck. that metal a deadly
blow, we should think the friends of the
white metal would live in perpetual fear
that he might repeat his performance in
1888, and would consequently distrust
his leadership. It would have been alto
gether better for Mr.. Stewards reputation
as Statesman and financier to have
made no attempt at explanation..if he had
nothing better to offer.

Senator Peffer's scheme for the creation
of department of education with a
scientific university in Washington, with
huge endowment fund back of it, is
not without merit. If such university
could be created and the Populists be
prevailed upon to attend it, there is but
little doubt that the country in the end
would get it's moneys worth. But we
suppose it would not be possible to con-
vince these gentlemen that they did not
know it all, and that they were in the
slightest need Of instruction. Probably
PETER and the rest of them would insist
that they ought.to be professors in the
new institution, and lecture on calamity
and gold bugs. 5000, 900 would be
rather highsfor that kind of instruction,
especially as the country is getting all
it wants of it, and good deal more, for
what it costs to pay the salaries of PETER

There appears to have been grain of
truth in the stories about Lieut.. Peary's
expedition, but only grain. He lost
some of his burros, and found it difficult
to procure dogs in Labrador, but the
report that the success of the expedition
was seriously jeopardized proves to be
utterly untrue. The reports brought by
the Falcon show that the expedition
reached the point it sought with very
little difficulty, that it landed in excel
lent condition, ssand that everything was
exceedingly favorable Tor it's success.
The change of the time for the return of
the expedition from 1925 to 1894 may,
however, prevent it from accomplishing
as much as has been expected from it.
The reason for this change.is not given.

Kindness to Animals.

A man may be harsh to his own wife, but
he will not permit another to take such a
liberty, nor is he inclined to stand by while
another woman is being abused.
A man may be in the habit. of fogging
his own child brutally, but he is ready to
fight if he sees another man striking boy
on the streets. This was recently illus
trated in Justice Walsh's court in Brook
Ign.
An officer had found German driver of
an express wagon thrashing boy of 9, and
as the boy was not the drivers son he ar
rested the man after calling him coward.
The officer made the complaint, and on
being called on to plead in his own defense
the German said:
''Shudge, pin one of dem men watts very

And the German looked round with an all
of injured innocence.
The court and the spectators laughed. and
the German was at once discharged. The
Judge read the boy a lecture. but as the
youngster still grinned over his joke it il
doubtful if he benefited by this experience

Held Up.

The day of holding up" stage coaches is
passing away with the stages, and now the
highwaymen have taken to holding up
railroad trains. No doubt, in the coming
day when our descendants will have mas
tered the art OF flying, there will be airy
highwaymen who will make them stand
and deliver en- route, as the fshhawk robs
the gull.
There are still stages in the west, and
there are still highwaymen out there. Not
long since a stage from east Oregon was
hurrying toward Portland, and in it were
four men and a lady. The lady had been
out to the mines to see a brother, and there
was that in her face and manner that de-
noted character and breeding.
They were jolting along, those on the
same seat trying to talk and the others
trying in vain to sleep, when the stage
came to sudden halt and heavily beard
ed man pushed a rifle into the door and
called out: Tumble out there! First man
tries to shoot I'll send daylight through"
An elderly man sitting by the lady was
seen by her to drop some gold pieces INTO
one of his boots, which were outside his
trousers.
The passengers and driver were stood up
heads and two men, evidently disguised,
began to turn their pockets inside out.
They were swearing-at their ill luck and
were about to examine the woman's dress,
something rarely done by these wretches,
when she said, with great calmness and a
sweet smile:
II have no money about me, except few
dollars in my wsilet. Here it is. But this
l. ylodr
has lot of gold in his right boot"
On hearing this the highwaymen raised
their hats, thanked her, and leaving her
unmolested turned their attention to the
man indicated.
After the mailbags had been rifled the
stage was permitted to go on.
The man who had been robbed and his
associates were furious at the woman, and
the former said:
when we get to Portland. madam, I'll
have you arrested as an associate, an &C
complete, of those thievesP'
when we get to Portland" said the
lady, with imperturbable calmness, II want
you and these other gentlemen to dine
with me at my hotel, when I think can
explain my conduct to the entire satisfac-
ton of all"
She gave them her address, and in due
time they reached Portland and at the ap-
pointed time were at the lady's hotel.
They found a fine dinner prepared, and
when the meal was concluded the lady
took out her pocketbook and showed her
company 20 one thousand dollar bills.
II wanted to divert the attention of the
robbers from myself and this price, she
said, land on the instant it came to me to

of the condition of a bilious stomach and
sluggish liver is the human countenance. Not
only the skin, but the eyeballs. are tinged with
the yellow hue when the bile gets into the

dizziness is experienced upon rising from a

invalid. For these and other indication of
biIiousness, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
