ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY.

Mr.. Carlisle still hopes to induce
the present Congress to dispose of the
silver question. By his advice new
bill for that purpose has been prepared
and will be brought forward if possible.
The bill directs the Secretary of the
Treasury to coin all the silver bullion
now held into standard silver dollars
at a rate of not less than two millions
nor more than four millions per
month; to coin first the excess of silver
over the amount required for the
redemption of the Treasury notes
issued for silver purchases, and to turn
the dollars made of this excess into
the Treasury as a miscellaneous asset
to suspend silver purchases until all
the silver on hand shall be coined,
and thereafter to buy and coin silver
at the rate of not less than $4,000, 900
nor more than So, ooo,oo a month.
The passage of such bill would do
much to relieve present difficulties and
avert present dangers. 1t would re-
plenish the nearly exhausted Treasury.
1t would remove the principal cause OF
the dangerous outflow of gold. 1t
would relieve the incoming Admins
tration and Congress of an embarrass-
ment. 1t would leave the Demo-
cratic Congress and Administration
free to proceed with the work of tariff
reform, to which the party is pledged.
At the same time it would place
silver, as coin metal, in a better
position than now, and as completely
satisfy as the present law does the real
or imagined need of more money,
which the majority of the silver men
urge as their reason for advocating free
coinage.
Every Democrat in Congress,
whether a silver or anti-silver man,
ought to support this measure for the
sake of his party and in the interest Of
tariff reform, which a disturbed fnan-
cial condition would impede. Every
sound money man, whether Democrat
or Republican, ought to support it in
the interest of financial security and
the solvency of the Treasury.
There is yet time enough to do thi:
just and necessary thing. Gentlemen
in Congress, will you do your plair
duty New York WorlG.

ABOUT PENSIONS.

What is this we see, the Grana
army Gazette denounciDg fraudulent
pensioners That is what it does, and
it does so in no uncertain manner. 1t
calls them "dead BEATS" and says
they must 20. 1t declares that the
pension list must be roll of honor,
and that the Grand Army has by "the
claim sharks who were the progenitors
of obnoxious laws and the coffee
coolers, deserters and dead beats been
made the subject of sneers, ridicule
and contempt" And a prominent
ex-Federal officer, Gen. Davis of Penn
sylvania, himself pension agent,
rises to make a remark of similar
import and significance. He says:
"The Dependent Pension bill lets in
every bounty jumper, hummer, shyster
and deserter, in fact all the disreputa-
BILE classes, who are now robbing the
taxpayers without being entitled to a
dollar by reason of any service" 1t
begins to look as if Grover Cleveland
was right in taking the position he did
in regard to this question, although
he was cursed and denounced by these
"bounty jumpers, bummers and
shysters," and part OF the old SOL
dier element in no unmeasured terms.
He was right when he said the pension
list should be made "roll of HONOR"
and as such no honest man North or
South would raise any objection to
pensioning those who really deserve it.

A RUSHED TREATY.

The haste which has attended the
negotiation of the Hawaiian treaty is
indefensible.
The President and Mr.. Foster have
made an agreement, which the Senate
Foreign Affairs Committee has indor-
sed, with 4 Government which is not
even known to be able to maintain
itself. Indeed, there is evidence that
the native Hawaiians and some of the
Europeans do not sustain the pro-
visional Government.
No time was allowed for an investi-
cation. The Administration has con-
sented to receive the royal property
and sovereignty from the hands OF
those who seized it and who sought a
strong protector for their plumber with
suspicious haste.
The Queen has not abdicated. On
the contrary, she expressly yielded to
superior force of the Boston's sailors
and marines, pending an appeal to the
United States. An ordinary regard
for common honesty demanded that
no decision should be reached until
the Queens Commissioners arrived at
Washington. They were on their way
to the capital when the President
hurried off the treaty to the Senate.
The Queens appeal to the United
States was in vain. The President
seems to have been afraid that the
presentation of her case would inter-
fere with his lingo plans.
The treaty itself demonstrates the
unseemly haste of the enterprise. The
laws of the islands are not changed.
They are to continue to be admins
tered by the people who now fill the
Offices, except that that the Presiden,
is to appoint commissioner who is tc
possess some of the functions and
powers Of car. This is surely a fine
product of Republicsnism.
The President has undertaken to
beat opposition in Hawaii and to an.
ticipate Mr.. Cleveland's Administra-
ton, on which, if the Senate rattle:
the treaty, its burdens will tall.-New

issue will be our last. We are satisfied
the people of this town can get along
without US, for we have been getting
along without the people for six
months past. There are some sub
scriptions owing, but We will not COL
lect them, as the citizens will soon

The Death of Mr.. John NJ. Robinson.
In the death of Mr.. John NJ. Robin
son, of Baltimore, the South loses one
of its staunchest friends and a man
whose energy and ability have been
potent factors in the development Of
the South. As the head of the Sea-
board Air Line and president of the
Old Dominion Steamship Co., Mr.
Robinson was a conspicuous figure in
the transportation interests of the
Atlantic coast, and his administration
of the affairs of these companies has
left an impress that will not soon disap-

A HEALTHY PEOPLE.

II is said that the Chinese are
longer lived than the people of other
nations. But the Chinese have pretty
sensible notions about living, dressing
and eating. A large part of the food
of the people consists of rice, and that
is good food. As rule, they are not
meat Observation-Disclosures Star.
When the writer was in San Fran
cisco and the West last summer he
made the customs and habits of living
Of these people a subject of special
enquiry and study, and his observa-
tions in large measure bear out the
correctness of what the Star saws
about the "sensible notions about
living, dressing and eating" of the
Chinese. One thing that particularly
impressed US was the fact that the
women do not wear corsets, and a
stronger, more robust, healthy and
better formed people can not be
found. Take the plains Indians and
the Southern negro women OF the days
before they began to simulate the
styles of modern fashion and draw the
distinction for yourself. Comment is
unnecessary. Some one has declared
that the corset and high heel shoes of
the women claim more victims from
their ranks in wrecked constitutions
than the drinking habit among the
sterner sex, the only difference being
that the former do not get in their
deadly work SO rapidly but no less
surely.

The Smallest Painting.

Probably the smallest painting ever
made was the work of the wife of a
Flemish artist. 1t depicted a mill with
the sails bent, the miller mounting the
stairs with a sack Of grain on his back.
Upon the terrace where the mill stood
was a cart and horse, and in the road
leading to it several peasants were shown.
The picture was beautifully finished,
and every object was very distinct, yet
it was so amazingly small that its sur
face could be covered with a grain Of
corn.-New York Press.

wedding Cakes. Now strlo.

Who was the inventor Of the new we'd
ding cakes? Whoever he was he de-
serves immortalizing, for his was bril-
liant idea, one l should have been ''real
proud Of myself had thought of it. In
the wedding cake of more ancient type
there was always a thick layer Of white
sugar which nobody cared about, a
medium layer of almond paste which
everybod ywished for and did not always
get, and an immense quantity Of cake
Of which many only ate few crumbs.
The latest specimen has a thin layer
of sugar, only just enough to look pretty,
and underneath are alternate layers of
cake and almond paste, one as thick as
the other.
The consequence is that no one is de-
frauded Of their lawful share Of almond
paste or 'love," as it is usually called,
and for purposes of distribution it is far
better, as the contents of the box do not
crumble away nearly so much as they did
when the principal portion was cake
alone. If only some one would invent a
box which could not be rihed and was
bound to reach its lawful destination,
we should have nothing left to DESIRE

1t Had Seven Thousand HustIinE Citizens
Where Now but Hundred Remain.
"ln 1870 you might have travelled 900
miles and not have found as lively town
as Kit Carson. Colo, said Station Agent
Billy Dunaway the other day as the Kan
sas Pacific train fingered before the sta
ton house at the now quiet little town
on Big Sandy creek in eastern Colorado.
"This was then the terminus of the Den
yer lile of the Union Pacific, and you
can just bet the camp was a hummer.
There were over 1000 people here, and a
gayer crowd you never saw. The popu-
lation was made up of railroad men,
cowboys, mule skinners, gamblers and
preacher.
THE latter was sometimes lonely, but
the $3.50 other people in camp were fair
ly sociable and managed to have mod
erately good time, and everything ran
wide open, and in the palmiest days of
the camp there were AZ saloons, z dance
halls. theaters and all the other things
necessary to the fabrication of existence
in the gay and bounding west. For two
years things were redhot, with fights,
shooting matches and lynching bees near
ly every night.
'Some of the old time engineers who
were jerking steam over the line then
say a regular daily news item in railway
circles for awhile was to the effect that
man or two had been hung the night
before to the bridge on the Sandy. The
lynching of a man for murder was an
unusual event, but dire vengeance was
wreaked on the petty burglar, horse
thief or other unprincipled offender who
did not have the nerve to shoot, but
sneaked around after dark to do his ne
farious work. When dealing faro, the
gamblers preserved peace and quietude
in the game by wearing two 6-shooters
silently swinging from their belts, and
when in a game of stud the pack was
always secured from being blown away
by one of these same free moral agents.
Some stiff games were played in those
days, and when a cowboy came in of
the roundup, or when the freighters
came in from long trip off to Mexico
and Arizona, or pay day on the line
came along, money was stacked foot
high ON the cloth.
"After the camp had been running IN
this way for two years the road was put
on through to Denver, and the crowd
followed. Where once you could see
over 1000 people there are now hun
dred or so, and all that remains Of the
former glory of this namesake of ole
Kit Carson is the nameless barnyarC
you see up there on the hill, lot o.
broken beer bottles and desertion. -
