senator Proctor Of Vermont inquired
IL he Senate the other day, why the
government should not purchase the
maple sugar Of Vermont as well as the
silver of Colorado. He said the sugar
could be coined into cakes which
would pass current, and be acceptable
to everybody. If the government is to
continue buying silver to help out the
silver mine-owners, we see no reason
why the principle should not be ex-
tel ded, and We claim its application to
Maine spruce gum. This course would
Der eft the people of Maine. Then, too,
spruce gum is as deserving as silver.
Il can be coined into cakes, and
stamped with the dollar-mark, and
this make dollars plenty and cheap.
THIS, according to the silverite, would
be- eft the whole country. We doubt
very much the benefit to the country,
but if a cheap dollar is wanted, the
spruce gum dollar would be cheaper
than the silver dollar.

Mint Shortage.

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.-A sensa-

was discovered that 100000 worth
of gold bullion had been stolen from

The fact was brought to light when
the Inspectors began weighing the
bullion of one of the reserve vaults
which had been sealed in 1887.
The seals on the doors were intact,
and the entrance had not been made
to the vaults by the ordinary means
of ingress. If the gold has been
taken from the vaults breach must
have been made in the wall. The
Mint officials refuse to allow an in
vestigation, and will not talk on the
subject.
The exact amount of the shortage
is S1O5, 600.

Impeach Cleveland.

The Sacramento Bee warts Cleve-

notification of the laws he is sworn
to obey. The offenses of Andrew
johnson, for which he escaped pun
ishment by single vote, were light
by comparison with those of the in
oividual who has assumed to himself
the right to make and unmake the
laws of the United States. Even the
prominent Democratic papers of this
State are beginning to gag" at the
dose forced down their Threats. The
conduct of the Administration with
regard to the law, if nothing else,
ought to be sufficient to secure the
impeachment of the President.
OF course, it is useless to talk
about anything of the kind, with
such an overwhelming majority OF
Democrats in Congress, but that does
not alter the fact that the President
has set the laws at defiance as much
as the vilest criminal i'll State Prison.
