SO many reasons TO be ashamed, and pom

ought to be ready to throw aside mere

The secret organization, some particu-

THE RATIO AGAIN.

Il Mr.. BLAND believes that all that is
necessary to keep gold and silver Oh
parity at 16 to is for Congress to say so,
he is very much mistaken. The marked
ratio and the mint ratio are important
factors. However, if it all depends on
Congress, why not make the ratio TO 10?
1t js simpler.
That is from the Cincinnati Commercial
We copy it because we have seen the
same argument from other sources. 1t Is
lot claimed that it ''all'' depends on
Congress, although it is contended that
great deal depends upon congressional
legislation.
The reason that 10 to is the ratio called
for is because that was the ratio when
silver was denonetized in 1873, and that
a parity had long been maintained be-
tween gold and silver under the law.
When the legal ratio was trifie different
the parity was maintained, substantially,
one metal rising or falling about as much
as the other and neither to any very great
degree.
1t has also been demonstrated that this
is the most natural ratio, all things con-
sidered, and that if free coinage should

market rate would advance to the mint
ratio in g very short time. A large part
Of the product would be utilized for
money, every dollar of which would be
worth dollar as q legal tender without
limit, and the rest of the product would
naturally command the same figure, or
nearly SO, in the market, because it
could be held for coinage at that rate and
thus the market would rise to that level.
The ratio of 10 to l would not be
natural ratio, as demonstrated by exper-
fence and usage. cit is simpler" Yes,
SO simple that no well informed journal
ought to speak of it unless in jest, and
this is too serious a matter to Joke about
In sn argument on the coinage of the
country.
The ratio of is to is held to as the fair
est when the volume of each of the money
metals is taken into account, and is likely
to preserve and maintain the parity de-
sired more permanently than any other.
But quite a number Of the most conserva-
tive silver advocates are willing to change
the ratio to 20 60 1, solely out of consider
alton for the widespread opinion that
silver has actually been cheapened be-
cause Of tne increase of the product, when
the truth is that gold has appreciated be-
cause silver has been degraded by legisla-
ton.
II Congress shall stamp piece of silver
Of any reasonable ratio with gold as s
dollar, it viii pass as dollar in trade and
finance anywhere in the country. And

If there should be some huctuation of
the value of the metal in the market.
But it viii be OF more permanent value
and use if the ratio is as nearly natural
IS possible with gold values.
Therefore 16 to 1 would be the better
ratio. But 20 to will answer for time.
The idea of 10 to is not to be considered
seriously, because it Is out of all natural
proportion and cuts no serious figure as
an argument.

temporary injunction was issued. II this
no additional costs viii be charged. But
every sprinkling taxpayer should do this
''under protest. and see that those words
are marked upon his receipt. II paid IN
der protest and the case should be de-
cided by the Supreme court in favor OF
the taxpayers, the money will be recov-
cred from the city; if not paid under pro-
test it may not be recoverable. City
warrants Will be receivad in payment.
There is great confidence expressed by
lawyers who have closely investigated
this question, that the Supreme court
Will reverse the decision OF the District
court. There is no expressed authority
in the city charter under which a special
local tax can be assessed for sprinkling
the streets. It comes under the same
head as lighting and cleaning the streets
and should be paid for out of the general
city funds.
The purposes for which the city may
levy special local tax are defined by
law and sprinkling the streets is not one
OF them. The principle relied upon,
chiefly, by counsel for the professionals is
that where the purposes for which a GER
tain power is granted are specified,
that is exclusive of any other purposes
than those that are mentioned. For in
stance, power given to the city by charter
to assess a local tax for paving, for sew
erage, and for eny other purpose that is
named in The law, does not include
power to levy local tax for sprinkling or
anything that is not named in the law.
This is such well known and admit
ted principle in constituting the law as to
municipal authority, that it is strange to
see SO critical jurist as Judge ZANE rem
dering contrary opinion. The power
OF the city to sprinkle the streets and to
pay for that sprinkling is not disputed.
1t is the authority to levy local tax at so
much foot frontage to raise revenue to
pay for it, that is denied. And where
that authority can be found is something
that no one has yet been able to point
out.
The case will come up on it's merits be-
fore the Supreme Court of the territory
and receive a final settlement. Mean
while, the taxpayers will be put to the
Inconvenience of paying a tax which they
have good reason TO believe is unlawful.
which they know is unjust, and which
most of them will find very difficult to
raise the money for. They had better
pay it, under protest however, before
next Sunday or additional costs will be
required, for notices of sale of property
that is delinquent will be posted and col
lection viii doubtless be enforced. 1t is
our opinion that the money thus paid
will eventually have to be refunded to
the taxpayers.

WHAT HAS BEcosIE OF THE cAsHs

No answer has yet been made as to what
has been done with the money collected
OF tax payers in this city for sprinkling
the streets, in excess of the amount paid
out for that purpose. The sum agreed
upon by contract in 1891 was S14, 900 for
seven months. We have given the fig
ures of the assessment on local frontage
and shown that, deducting the amount
not collected in consequence of the in
junction against its collection, there was
over $50, 900 paid to the city for that
purpose.
The question is, what has been done
with the excess of money thus collected
in 1890, 81 and '92? Who has obtain ed
the benefit of the balance, which alto
getner must be very large sum? That
money does not belong to the city. 1t
belongs to the sprinkling tax payers. 1t
is only available lawfully for sprinkling
purposes. If there was an excess col
iected one year, it ought to have been ap-
piled on the sprinkling work for the fol-
lowing year. If it has gone into the treas
ury or has been used for other purposes,
the sprinkllng tax payers have been de-
frauded.
The city council cannot levy special
local tax on the frontage of property for a
special purpose. and divert the money
thus collected to anotherpurpose. Money
thus obtained Tor sprinkling cannot
legally be applied to pay official salaries,
to enable the city authorities to hire lot
of needless inspectors, or to provide for
work done and materials used on private
mining or other speculations.
Let US know what has become of this
money paid in excess of the amount
needed,a and tell us why the special sprink-
ling tax is kept up, year after year at the
same high rate, if there is money enough
coming from the excess of previous years
to pay the amount of the contract this
year. Will some honest city councillor
please give the public an explanation?

A COwA2DLY FRAUD.

A species Of bulldozfng that is both
cowardly and unlawful is alleged to have
been resorted to for the purpose of scar
ing small property Owners into paying
the sprinkling tax, against the collection
of which a temporary injunction was
issued BY the Third district court. This
was by posting notices of the sale of their
property for delinquent sprinkling tax
after the injunction was granted. A
number Of persons, fearful lest their
homes might be put up for sale, we are
costs charged for the notices and Gil other
expenses attending the posting of them.
The people who were thus intimidated
acted foolishly. While the case was
pending in court there was no need to
pay the tax, and any costs thus added
were illegally charged and ought not to
have been paid. After the injunction
was issued the treasurer had no right to
attempt to collect the tax, and he was in
contempt of court in every instance
wherein he charged for notices of sale
issued after the restraining order was
made. Everybody who has paid such an
illegal demand has been swindled.
We do not know TO what extent this
course has been pursued, but every tax
payer who has been thus mulcted ought
to make the whole matter known, that
proceedings may be taken to secure JUS
tice and prevent further fraud.
This is all OF piece with the whole
Liberal manner OF conducting city affairs.
The people, including Democrats, Repub-
licans and the better class of Liberals are
sick of the entire outfit, and there will be
such demand for its extinction as, it is
to be hoped. will wipe it all out forever.

MUST pAy THE spRlNKLINe TAX.

The sprinkling tax case came up again
before Judge ZANE on Wednesday morn
ing. It will be remembered that after
hearing arguments on either side, His
Honor decided week ago not to grant
she injunction prayed for, to restrain the
collection of the special tax. An appeal
from that decision was taken to the SUI
preme court. The application this morn
ing by counsel for the taxpayers was for
stay of proceedings pending the appeal.
The court decided against the request,
and thought that the injury or incon-
venience to the taxpayers from paying
the small amounts required from them,
even should the case be finally decided in
their favor. would not be as great as that
to the city, which needed the money to
pay for the sprinkling.
The question of cost to the taxpayers
for notices OF sale of their property was
then discussed, cou nsel for the taxpayers
claiming that it would be an injustice to
require them to pay costs incurred since
the granting of a temporary injunction.
This was not disputed by counsel for the
city, SO an understanding was arrived at,
that no costs need be paid for any notices
posted or published since the temporary
restraining order was granted.
The status of the matter now is this:
Pending the appeal to the Supreme court,
the sprinkling tax will have to be paid
and fifty cents additional for such notice
OF sale as had been published before the

THE PORCUPINE DIET.
The Only Living Thing That Eats tho
Foliage of the Uemlock.


''You don't have to skirmish around
much to get feed to fatten one Of these
hemlock porcupines on" says an old
woodman. Just sprinkle some salt
over stick of cord-wood, or a saw
log, for that matter, and he'll eat the
whole business, and enjoy it like you
would mince pie
The usual diet of these animals,
though, IS hemlock browse. They
make themselves a home in hollow
log, or under the roots of some old
tree, but always in reach of big
hemlock. The hemlock is their pas
ture, and they make beaten paths go
ing to and fro between the tree and
their home The porcupine climbs
the tree as readily as squirrel would,
provided you don't slip up and cut
his tail off while he is going up.
Somehow or other he can't climb a
tree without a tail, nor will he come
down without it.
If you catch one of these porcupines
climbing a tree and chop off his tail
close he will stop right where he is,
and will stay there until he starves to
death, unless he is taken away. Once
up tree the porcupine goes out on
the big limbs, and, pulling the small
branches in with one paw, browses on
the pungent leaves. In going through
the woods you will find little piles Of
these fine leaves on the ground under
hemlock trees. That means that a
porcupine is feeding in the tree, the
leaves on the ground being dropped
from his feast. Sometimes a porcu-
pine will remain in hemlock tree a
week at time, hugging close to the
trunk at night and feeding during the
day. This curious little beast is the
only known living thing that eats the
foliage Of the hemlock.
