The state legislature which is to con

The state legislature which is to con
vene this winter can secure the blessing
of the people in no more positiv
the stflctest economy and closely adhere
ing to that policy during the entire ses-
sion and on every proposition that is to-
come before it. This is absolutely
necessary tor the welfare of the state,
and any departure from tins policy
will be met with the anathemas OF the
people, who are IN no mood to tolerate
the least extravagance in the affairs of
the commonwealth. The usual horde Of
lobbyists will undoubtedly be on hand
endeavoring 10 secure appropriations
for one thing and another. but it lays
with the legislators to sit down upon
their schemes, making only approprla-
tions that are absolutely necessary, and
trimming these to the lowest possible
basis. The legislature OF 1896 can dis
tinsuish itself by making the most trug-
al and even parsimonious expenditure
Of public funds and cutting the appro-
priations to the very lowest limit. And
it is hoped that 1t will have the sagacity
to appreciate this fact.

Minneapolis Tribune-Claude N. Ben
net has in the North American Review
letter giving some interesting information
about the practical working Of tree sill
yer coinage in Mexico, derived from
recent visit 10 that country. The first
in prices of the same articles in Laredo,
Texas, and Lardeo, Mexico, two towns
just across the river from each other.
In the eating house on the Texas side
the price of meals was fifty cents in I'm
tied States money; on the Mexican side
the price was dollar IN Mexican money;
but il the customer threw out an Amerl-
can dollar, he received Mexican dollar
IN exchange. The amount Of silver in
each dollar is practically the same; tits
the American stamp and the practical
interconvertibili,y of the American dollar
with gold that doubles its purchasing
power. The Texas merchants as rule
received the Mexican dollar at fifty cents;
Tor instance, the keeper OF lemonade
stand charged fifteen cents for glass
OF lemonade and when a Mexican dollar
was offered ia payment he returned
thirty five cents in United States money.
1t was the same with all articles.
The Mexican laboring people. MIR.
Bennett says, suffer most from the depre
ciated currency. They are never paid
off in anything else. The premiums on
good money over bad never comes to
them; it is they who invariably pay the
premiums. The exporters who send
abroad coffee, tea, hemp, hides, hene-
quin and get paid in foreign money, and
make profits accordingly. The laborers
who cultivate these products are paid in
Mexican silver And in tins deprecated
money they get a miserable pittance as
compared with the laborers otthe United
States. According to NJ. Romera, the
the Mexican minister to the United States
the minimum IN wages paid 10 labOrers
in the state of Hidalo In 1892 was 1915
cents per day, and the maximum 3712
cents; III the state of San LUIS Potoi the
minimum lSla cents and the maximum
% cents. The highest scale OF wages
was in the state Of Sonora, where the
minimum was 30 cents and the maxi
mum dollar; but the general average
for all the states was a minimum Of 23122
and maximum of SO cents day
wages have not risen since. These
wages are paid in Mexics money; in
United States money they would only be
half as much.
We may freely admit that there are ex-
traneous causes outside Of the money
question which make wages lower in
Mexico than in the United States. For
one reason, labor there is less efficient
than it is here. But natural causes are
not sufficient to make the difference SO
great as it is. At any rate, the lowness Of
wages in Mexico is a complete answer to
the contention ofthe silverites that tree
silver coinage in this country would re-
suit in better wages They have had
free silver coinage in Mexico for genera
tions, and the average OF the wages Of
laborers there is not more than sixth OF
what it is on this side OF the line

A Protest Against tho Wanton Destruc-
tIOn Of the Feathered TIibc.
An American dealer sold last year
1000, 900 bird skins All were used
for ornameuting woman's attire. Wo-
men ought to cry down this vanity
that feeds and pampers the destruc-
ton of the feathered tribes The birds
sacrificed are, of course, those of the
richest plumage. and, of course, also,
those that will be least easily re-
placed. In fact. if this thing continues,
American bird life of the gentler order
will pretty soon become extinct Is not
the warfare the American humane
society has opened upon the bird skin
traffic wholly justifiable2 We think
so. The destruction referred to con-
tributes not one whit to human need
or human comfort. 1t adds nothing
to the intellectual, nothing to the
mental. 1t is simply wantonness
practiced at the beck of fashion, and
as silly and meaningless a fashion,
too, as eyer was spawned from the

Restored to Their Senses.
New York Evenino Post

The train wrecking in California-the
last resort of a discounted and cowardly
mob-seems to have restored the public
to their senses. 1t is obvious that when
a train piunges over trestle into deep
water no discrimination is made between
friends ana foes. Even the editor of q
San Francisco paper might be crushed or
drowned. The only safety. for syInpa-
thizers with the strike is TO stay at home.
Boycotting the Pullman cars is no pro-
lection, because other cars will go off the
track as easily and come to grief even
more surely, since the Pullmans are
about 90 per cent. stronger than the ordi-
nary coaches. This is situation caleu-
lated to produce general reflection and to
teach the lesson that mob violence is no
remedy for monopoly. People who haye
observed the systematic way in which
Granger legislation has despoile0 rail-
roads in the Northwest without the aid of
Debs or Sovereign viii be apt to conclude
that public sentiment is very badly di-
reeted ou the slope If it needs the help of
rioters to get even" with the Southern
