Ten years ago the cost for clerk
hire in our state Legislature was

$4,000. ii Il certain that but
little more work was done, and
beyond all doubt the work could
have been performed this year for
5000 without over working any
Of The clerks. 1t is high time the
people Of the state take hand in
this matter and put stop to it.
This thing Of taxing the people Of
the state to the amount Of $4,000
far the sake Of having a lot Of
giddy girls around the state house
II entertain the legislators during
their leisure hours is becoming

THE CHINESE MUST GO.

The Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States has decided to be consti-
tutional the law compelling
the Chinese to register, and failing
to do so, to be sent out of the
country. The court was by no
means of the same opinion. Dis
senting opinions were read by the
Chief Justice ana others, strongly
argued the unconstitutionality Of
the law. OF course this decision
settles the question as far as this
law is concerned, but it opens up a
way for unending trouble with
China and her subjects in this
country. 1t may cause the ex-
pulsim and possibly the death of
the missionaries now in China.
Chinese riots in Frisco and other
densely populated districts are not
impossible, Large indemnities
will then have to be paid by the
Government, as have heretofore
been paid. There is q possibility
Of a sea Of trouble in store for US,
but it may all pass off without
any particular danger after all, it
is so to be hoped. There may be
a drop of consolation in all of this.
The hundreds of earnest but Wis
ionary men and women and the
millions of dollars sent to China,
may be saved to this country,
where their labors are sorely need
ed and the peoples money could be
put to far better use than expe-
rimenting with the doubtful and
costly theory Of Christianizing the
''heathen Chinee." Our own
country-even our own state and
county-need the services of mis-
sionaries far more than China
does. If they do not actually
need it more they at least deserve
it more. But christianizing ones
own countrymen and neighhors is
but homely occupation, it seems.
There is fascination around the
heathen, glory attendant npon a
foreign missionary that seems to
allure these honest but visionary
people. Elevate and christianize
our neighbors and let the heathen
60 until our home work is done.

Dear Gold and Cheap silver.

Commenting on a statement that gold
isgrowing dearer," the Philadelphia Record
Save:
But how does our contemporary measure
gold? The stock of the world is increas-
ing at about the usual rate. A gold
dollar will not buy more than the average
amount OF wheat. corn, pork or cotton,
or any staple stu in which the cost of
production has not been greatly cheap
ened. 1t is great mistake TO say that
god is dear because 81 cents worth of gill
yer will not buy 100 cents worth o gold.
No debtor is impoverished because he is
unableto pay Just debt at discount Of
33 cents on the dollar.
II is really Astonishing that great
metropolitan journal would make such a
confession of ignorance. After ali the dis
cussion there has been on the relative
values OF silver and golden would expect
that the more prominent newspapers
would be acquainted with az least
a part of the facts and tome
OF the rudimentary principles pertaining
to the question, but at this late day the
Record comes forward with this state
both facts and principles. The elm
pie truth as to this matter is terse-
ly expressed by Prof. TAUssIG of Harvard
university in the words. "The aDprecia-
ton OF gold IS the general fall in prices"
If you make your yard-stick longer all
cloth shrinks in proportion. Silver has
not fallen in price more than the average
OF commodities. There has been no reason
in nature why it should do so. 1t has
merely been made a com odity by de-
mOnetization and has followed the price
OF other commodities
This is not a matter of opinion nor of
guess-work. 1t is conclusively established
by one OF the most careful records of
prices ever made. Since 1870 Prof SoET-
BEER has kept record of the average price
OF ia leading commodities at the free
port of Hamburg, and this covers the
period of demonstration OF silver in
Europe. Throughout that period silver
has closely followed the price of other
commodities. 1t has advanced when
they advanced and declined when they
declined. 10 twenty years covered by
this record. including 1890, the extreme
OF tiuctuation in the average price Of tine
Ia commodities was $3.50 per cent. In the
same period the extreme Of 6uctuation in
silver was 39.l per cent. What does this
mean2 1t means that when a silver dol
lar is worth ~ cents in gold gold dollar
does buy more wheat. corn. pork or cot
ton, or any staple stuff" 1t means that
the ysrd-stick has been heightened. 1t
means that gold has appreciated and
everything else has deprecated. When
the Record makes such an assertion as
that quoted it merely demonstrates that
it is not acquainted with the subject
which il attempts to discuss.
