IT seems to us, SAYS the Bos

IT seems to us, says the Boston Ad- vertiser, that those journals which are raising such a stir about the fact that some gold has been withdraWn from the treasury in the past two weeks might be in far better business. The only effect of raising such on alarm must be to produce the impression that the United States notes in this country are below gold in value, and if insist ence is laid upon that point long enough by influential AWerican news papers it is possible that another wave of business distrust can be created; Eut the alaippists will gain nothing by causing such an unnecessary and un- warranted panic. The amount of gold that has been withdrawn from the United States treasury iD tbe past few weeks is far smaller than that wjti,- drawn for export earlier in the year, and is considerably below the amount that will be received as premium on the sale of tbe bonds to American bauks,

IT should be the aim of newspaper to make the hve news within its pre- cincts an object of primary interest. The local happenings should be written up in crisp, readable style and labored editorials should not be in- hlcted upon the reader. The news paper should be a mental recreation to the wolkingman as we'll as the stu dent, and the petty quarrels between rival journalists can have no interest to their subscribers. It is to be re- gretted that this latter is prominent feature of some newspapers of the southwest.

True Inwardness of the Trouble
 Among the Moquis.

True Inwardness of the Trouble
 Among the Moquis.
 Ashton Nebeker, of Tuba City was in town during the week and in talk with THE SUN he told of the trouble among the Moqui Indians in the Orai- bic country.
 1.-The whole trouble" he said,I "arose over the policy of John s. May hew. the allotment agent, whose method of allotting lands is peculiar, to say the least. The Moen Copie ranch has been fal lmed eighteen years, and it was allotted to the Indians two years ago. The disturbing faction is con troled by Chief LololIinc, aud it's members are forever conspiring against Acoushe, an old Navajo h. dian who was bought by the Moquis when an infant. Acoushe is really one of the Moqui tribe, for he was reared in their midst and married one of their women. But the Moquis under Lol0llime cannot forget that he is of different blood than theirs, so they manifest their dislike of him by trump ing up false and groundless charges. When cornered and pressed for a reasonable explanation of their perse- cution of Acoushe they can only say that it is because he is Navajo and not one of them. This fellow Mayhew took all of Acoustics land and allotted it to the Indians who were opposed to him. Col. Paul r. Fa ison. who was sent out from Washington, at once saw the injustice of lhc thing and the allottments were annulled. The In. dians don't understand the annulment business and that's what they're kick ing about.
 "Mayhew had no right in the first place to allot lands in the Moen Copic settlement, for it isn't on the reserva- ton and has been cultivated for eigh- teen years by the white settlers. Moen Copie is sixty miles from Oraibie. Last year the white people offered Lololimc and his followers land in Moen Copie if they would help repair the dam. They refused, and Acoushe and some of his friends helped us and were given the land. Lololime claimed the crops and that is the immediate cause of the more recent trouble. Il is not al all serious and the troops will have nothing to do."

TIE Star says that the Mormons arc naturally populists. The "Gazette' says that they are democrats. The truth of the matter is that the Nor, mons are like all other people-they vote their political convictions and are consequently divided on questions of politics. So it is useless for any party to claim the entire vote of the Mormons.

TIE question of strengthening the gold reserve is giving the administra- ton no end of trouble. Among the propositions which have been made is one to require certain percentage of customs duties to be paid in gold, but it is difficult to see what good that would do. It would only give the i'm porters the trouble of getting gold for greenbacks from the treasury in order to pay it into the customs houses, and in the end the treasury gold would not be increased. The weak spot in the system is the ease with which green backs (treasury notes) may be ex- changed for gold Whatever change IS finally adopted in our financial sys- tenn many who have carefully studied the matter are of the opinion that something should be done at once to make the redemption of treasury notes SO troublesome that it would not pay bankers to present them except upon extraordinary occasions, and that would make it practically impossible to make q profit by having the treasury notes redeemed and exporting the gold. To those who are afraid that such regula- tious and restrictions would result in injuring the national credit it is only necessary to say that similar rcgula- tions and restrictions exist in Euro pean countries without injuring their credit.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND confirms the report that he is contemplating de- liverance on the currency question. This last piece of news will not be re- ceived with favor by business men. Agitation of the currency question wi be as fatal to business as tariff tinker ing. If there were any prospects of congress settling the matter in a wise manner there would be no objection to Mir, Cleveland asking for legislation. But every sensible man who knows anything about the subject is aware that congress and the president cannot agree on this subject, unless the presi- dent adopts the populistic theories of the democratic majority in congress. That majority in both the house and the senate is in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ex- isting ratio. They will accept nothing short of that, unless it be some other plan for lifty-cent dollars and plenty of them. As there is not the slightest prospect of any solution of the ques- ton by this congress, the president should leave it alone and allow che business of the country to have rest from disturbing agitation.-Philadel- nhia Press

The Explosion Never Came.

Two young fellows had stacks of fun
ON Nicollet avenue among the Fourth
of July crowds last year and scared
some of the folks nearly out of their
wits without the least danger to any
one. They had constructed what resem-
bled an immense cannon firecracker,
but with not a pinch of powder about
it, except as to fuse. OF fuses they had
plenty, and they dexterously inserted
them as they meandered along the street,
supplying new one as fast as one
burned out They operated the practical
joke by one of them carrying the dan
gerous looking cracker under his arm
and the other pretending to fire it I'M
known to him. When the wag slipped
up and applied his punk from behind
and then lodged away, those who saw
it held their breath at the expected ex-
plosion, which did not, however, take
place, although few suspected the real
reason why. Up and down the avenue
those funmakers went, and many were
the ears that We're stopped during their
fun and many the eyes turned away from
the expected explosion. Minneapolis

Q.-How many patients are there in

About |, 600
Here ended my conversation with the
former member of the board of health
of sthe Sandwich Islands. Up to date
the woe goes ON. Only two weeks ago a
ship took 25 more lepers to Molokai.
The scene of par ing is said to be so
heartrending that but few people go to
the wharf to witness it. The wailing
and bowling at the parting of families
as the filial and fraternal and paternal
and maternal bonds are broken is some-
thing that haunts the memory. Not long
ago young man sentenced to the leper
island declared he would not be taken
alive. He shot three of those who We're
attempting to segregate him and then
hid in hut until a cannon on a neigh
boring hill bombarded the hut into a
wreck. Then relative went to the hut
and found the young man dead.

now holding the coming doctor is being

or tho Hudson, or the Savannah, nor do

he will make his experiments, nor in
what decade he will give proclamation
Of the worlds emancipation from

go through the same prosecutions that
DR.. Jenner did because of his dis
covery of a way to halt smallpox, and
as DR.. Kelley has endured because of
his almost supernatural cure of alcohol
ism, and the new discovery will run
the gantlet of caricature and expulsion
from medical societies, and will, like
the most illustrious being of all ages,
become the target for expectoration, but
the discovcrer will give Ieprosy the COM
mand, "Ihus far shalt thou go, and no
farther" and that disease will wriggle
and crawl and shrink out of the world,
and after the medical emancipation is
dead the nations will build monument
SO high to his memory that the granite
shaft will disputewith the skies the right
of possession, and in the epitaph thereon
the clicking chisel will try to atone for
the slanderous tongue, and the world
that held back from the discoverer the
bread of honest praise will give him a
storm of post mortem commemoration.

The spiders thread is made of in
Vulnerable small threads or fibers, one
of these threads being estimated to be
one-millionth of a hair in thickness.
Three kinds of thread are spun-one of
great strength, for the radiating or
spoke lines of the web The cross lines,
or what sailor might call the rat lines,
are finer and are tenacious-that is,
they have upon them little specks or
globules of very sticky gum. These
specks are put on with even interspaces.
They are set quite thickly along the line
and are what in the first instance catch
and hold the legs or wings Of the fly.
Once caught in this fashion, the prey is
held secure by threads flung over it
somewhat in the same manner as a las
So The third kind of silk is that which
the spider throws out i'll mass OF flood,
by which it suddenly envelops any prey
of which it is somewhat afraid, as, for
example, wasp. A scientific expert
menter once drew out from the body of
single spider 8, $50 yards If thread
or spider silk-a length little short of
three miles. Popular Magazine.
