Two young men near Los Angeles,
Cal, are rapidly making a fortune slay-
ing coyotes. Last April they were not
worth fifty dollars, but now they have
$8,700 to their credit in bank and they
are adding about $3.50 a week to their
deposit. They have fifty traps set, and
with these and their rifles are rapidly
thinning out the coyotes in Los Angeles
and San Bernardino counties. At five
dollars scalp there is more money in
hunting coyotes than in growing grain
or fruit, but the business will probably
come to an end when the next legisla-
ture meets. The law which was passed
as q joke has proved to be very costly
pastime. San Francisco Chronicle.

Another Now smoke Preventive.

James Murphy, Chicagoan, is the
latest to come forward with smoke
consuming device. Rather, though, is
it Mr.. Murphy's plan to prevent smoke,
and this he seems to do very effectually
by patent arrangement which he places
on boilers and stoves. 1t is the idea to
catch and burn the gases that are liber-
ated from the coal before they form the
smoke. The smoke itself, the inventor
says, cannot be burned after it has once
been formed, SO he burns the gases.
The principle is that of taking air up
from the ashpit in furnace through
!. FIRE clay pipes to hot air chamber
above the CRATE bars, From here it is
thrown from all four sides of the CRATE
through three-quarter inch space which
is left open all around the fire, the space
being partially ledged over with a Zip
that throws the air across the furnace.
The distribution of this hot air equally
over the fire catches the gases from the
coal before they are formed into smoke
and ignites and burns them.
Thus only about 20 per cent. of the
usual amount Of smoke contains no car
bon, is not dirty at all and is white
instead Of sooty. Mr.. Murphy demon
strates the principle Of his device in a
stove, where the results are more easily
seen. The stove is fitted with three fire
clay pipes on each side to conduct the
air. The stove burns any kind of coal
or coke and from none Of them can any
smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes
its own draft from the airshaft. The
fame burns inward and close to the
middle Of the CRATE. An examination
of the chimney shows no smoke going
up.-New York Telegram.

to represent delegated authority only,

that the members at large of a political

selected to represent them in specific

their positions in furtherance of their

Unemployed Labor.

Colorado is comparatively new state
with yet undeyeIoped country and great
resources. Yet Colorado papers inform
us that there are many thousands of men
out of employment. That is very sad
condition OF affairs for state with such
vast opportunities, so much capital and
so many enterprising men of affairs.
In nineteen towns it is reported there
are 1000 men idle, and it is estimated
that with ten other towns not reported
there are fully 10000 men able to work
who are out of employment. One very
bad feature of this condition is that al
though working people in Colorado have
obtained remunerative wages when en-
ployed, they have nothing saved for hard
times and are therefore suffering great
hardships.
OF course large number of those idle
people are miners. The low price oil
silver has much to do with the small de-
mand for their labor. And this gives op.
portunity for the demagogue and the par.
tisan to ring in some vicious remarks
about CLEVELAND and his antegonism te

A PHILADELPHIA chemist named Dr.
TERNE, advocates a system of reducing
garbage to e fertilizer and returning to
the soil some OF the constituents necessary
to plant-growth. The idea is in practical
operation in Cincinnati, Detroit and other
cities. The material, placed in tanks, is
treated with benzine, which carries off all
the oils, say per cent. of the whole,
which makes a valuable lubricant. The
residue is dried and 10 to 20 per cent is
made available as fertilizer. The re-
mainder is water. With ample facilities
the entire process can be gone through
with in as hours. The material produced
is worth from 80 to So per ton. In Phil
adelphia it would have market value OF
500. 600.

Ii Can Be Stonned.

There is very general outcry again
about the dense volumes of smoke that
roll over this city, darkening the air,
spelling many valuable things and caus-
ing great discomfort to the public. If
there was no available remedy for this it
would have to be endured with such pa
thence as ordinarily people could exercise.
The establishments chiefly responsible
for the nuisance are necessary institu-
tions. Nothing need be said against
them. We need more industries in which
steam and electric power have to be utll-
lied. We want factories as we'll as mer-
camille and financial houses in this city.
We would rather put up with the smoke
that would come from their chimneys
than the dull times we must have without
them.
But the smoke is not necessity, nor is
it unavoidable. THE HERALD drew at
tention several times, not long ago, to q
simple invention of Cache valley me-
chanic, which would not only do away
entirely with the smoke nuisance, but
actually cause saving in fuel to the es-
tablishment using it. If we are not mis-
taken it is in use in the city today in some
private establishments, and effects all
that was claimed for it.
Why is not some attention paid to this
everyday cause of public complaint
THE HERALD has no hostility to the es-
adjustments that are responsible for it,
but for the sake of the pubic requests
their proprietors to abate the evil. L
they do not. there will be united de.
mand on the city authorities to abolish
the nuisance.
1t would be far better for change t.
be brought about by pacific means
Smoke can be consumed in the furnaces
that now create it. This we are assured
can be effected at small original cost anc
that would soon be more than repaid by
saving of fuel. Will not the consumer,
of large quantities of coal please take PITY
on the public, adopt some plan to pre-
vent the growing nuisance, and rendel
unnecessary any unpleasant proceeding
| by the city or in the courts?

Bad for Silver.

The news of the virtual demonstration
of silver by the legislative authorities OF
India was extremely depressing in all the
mining sections OF the United States yes
terday. 1t is not surprising that the fall
in the market value OF the white metal is
calculated to set many mine owners to
considering the necessity of suspending
operations that have been carried on OF
late only as precautions against actual
loss OF property. That East India. which
has comparatively little gold, and with
its enormous need of money, should re-
sort to the exclusive gold standard, seems
almost incredible, though SO often threat
ened. 1t was thought, before this unto
ward disclosure, that silver interests were
in bad enough way, but now the out
look is gloomy indeed. The trouble is
desperate enough to hasten the applica.
ton of the remedy, whatever it may be,
and as "the darkest time is just before
day. it is to be hoped that satisiac,
| tory solution is at hand.

They are not confined to the United
States. They prevail in England, in
Continental Europe. in Australia and
almost everywhere. There are quite a
large number of people out of work in
this country because they will not labor
for the wages that employers feel able to
give. This is largely the case in mining
districts and some blame rests upon the
oilers who might be at work if they
would.
Is Perhaps they are bound by the rules OF
their unions and are thus not free men.
That is their own doing. 1t is not the
fault Of the employers nor of the political
policy nor the financial policy of either
party, Republican or Democratic. There
Is no doubt that g great many more
miners and other workmen could be
earning wages if they would take what
can be afforded.
But however this may be, the outcries
against CLEVELAND on the silver ques-
ton are not justified on any principle o
right or expediency. He is not response
bic for the financial policy of this nation
nor is he able alone to change it. Legis
lation is necessary before anything def
mite and stable can be accomplished il
relation to it. And the labor question
however it may be related to the silve
question, is not party matter. If it is
then the party that demonetized siive
and established the policy now prevailing
is to be blamed, and not the party or tn
President now preparing to shape tn
policy of the future.
