INCREASING THE SILVER CoINAGE.-Yash-
ington, Nov. THE Treasury Department
to-day ordered the superintendents of the
mints at San Francisco and New ORLEANS to
resume the coinage suspended some time ago,
of standard silver dollars. 1t is for The pur-
pose Of utilizing the seignorage that the
coinage Of standard silver dollars is rrsum-
ed. The expectation is that about one and
haf million can be coined at once, which
will give the Treasury seignorage Of about
FIVE hundred thousand dollars. IL is the
intention of the Treasury Department, as
the other mints become clear of gold COIN
age, to have thom also cjin silver, and thus
increase the coinage three and o half TO four
aud half million dollars per month.

Judge Wallace's decision on the constitu-

slider it the ab!est and most conclusive pre-

all along held on thnt subject that we shall

the men aud means employed to enforce its

Who does not remember the utter contempt
that was felt for a boy or girl that acted as
a spy and tell-tale upon his or her school
mates.
From the schooiboy up to the highest Of.
fcer in the army there is deeply rooted dis.
gust for any one who will resort to surrepti-
tious and unmanly means to find cause for
anoher's punishment. That seems to be
the conduct of the dispcnsary constables,
and hence it is but natural that they are not
respected and meet with opposition.

Gay" In conversation with some of the
leading merchants of this town, we found ali
agreeing that their cash sales are better
than at the same season for son. years back
while collections Of past due debts are much
worse. Money is still very scarce, as all
taken over the counters has to be forwarded
to meet stipulated obligations of the mcr-
chants, and but little is left to circulate
among the people, consequently those of US
who haze no daily sales but weekly pay
mcnts TO make have hard time to meet cur
rent expenses.

la'lng ourself upon the sobriety Of our town
and the absence Of "blin tigers" but we
can ito 30 no longer. There must be mum.
ber of tigers prowling about town, for VIC
hear their growing every night and see the
unsteady tread Of their victims in day time.
Where their lairs are cnly the initiated
know, and they stare in unsophisticated
astonishmcnt and childlikc innocence when
asked if they know "whcre to get growl."
Our town authorities claim that the dis
pensary law takes the power to arrest and
punish parties for selling whiskey without
license completely out Of their hands. They
have no right to search any room or other
premises to find whether the drunk comes
from dispensary or contraband whiskey.
That duty belongs to the dIspensary officers
All that the town authorities can do is tC
arrest and punish those who disturb the
peace of the community when under the
influence of either dispensary or "blind
tiger whiskey. The result is, many drunks
and number of blind tigers" Are the
authorities correct in the position they as
sumo?
We have heard Of one dodge to deceive
the dispcnsary detectives, and we don't see
clearly how it can be caught up with. 1t is
simply this: A man collects any number
Of dispensary whiskey TASKS and bottles.
lie may buy them fl cd at the dispensary.
There's no law against havirg these flask s
in your possession, AMI il will take the
keencst detective eye tn prevent the dis
penscr himself or anyone else from filing
them MS often as they wish with conlraband
liquor. We have no dispensary in Union,
but we have heard Of man having q dis
pensary flask filled five times in one day,
right in this town.
