wRH SILVER Is DOWN

Tho heavy depreciation in value of the silver coinage of the world is cer- tain to arouse the various nations to the necessity of its rehabilitation. The actual value of the silver dollar tudged aby present New York prices) is less than fifty cents, and similar conditions pre- vail elsewhere. The general distrustin which silver is hold Is evidenced by the barriers raised against it's international circulation. That sto say, Canadian silver half dollar Is not accepted at par in this country because its intrinsic value (expressed in gold) is not at par. An American half dollar is likewise dis. credited in Canada, but it passes at par in this country because the faith of the government is behind it, The govern ment accepts the half dollar at pan, and it is likewise accepted by individuals. It Is true that England likewise guaran- tees it's own silver circulation, up to a certain point; but England is foreign country and it's guaranty is not accept cd in this country with the confidence held in our own government. In Q more marked degree the distinctions between the several national coinages of silver are shown in South America. The nations in that part of the conti- nent will not accept American silver. In Chile, for instance, the American half dollar is universally rejected. Why? Because this country is on gold basis, and the dollar, expressed in terms of gold, is worth only half what it pretsnds to be.
 The remedy is not necessarily sil- yer basis. Frse coinage will settle the question so far as this eountry's coin age and its domestic circulation are concerned But the international diff fsreuces must be adjusted by interna- tional bimetallism. It is not too much to say that the countries of Europe see the necessity much clearer than when the conference at Brussels met. The depreciation in silver values lies as much as anything else in the fact that values are expressed in gold, and in the lack of confidence by each nation in the others silver coinage; and the want of confidence arises largely from the fuc- tuations in the values of the twometals, making it impossible to tell one day what the exact relations of the metals viii bs in the nezk As long as values are unsettled, an interchange of mon eys on certain basis is impossible.
 A previous agreement will change all this, An understanding that each na- ton will accept the moneys of the other at rate previously agreed upon will remove the dIstrust of silver, restore it to its rightful position, and settle tho monetary question. There ars ample evidences that the nations of Europe are beginning to understand the situa- tion. Mining and Scientific Press.

"That man Haywood, a newsmon- ger, who prints his pencilings in East ern journals, was lately in Phoenix "nosing round" and upon his return to the eG'ete East, told tale concern ing Arizona which caused irate citizens of '-the capitol city" to declare war, not only upon Haywood, but also up on the Governor and the Secretary of the Territory. A committee was ap- pointed Co wait upon the two latter gentlemen and notify them that they were "suspectedn of being hand in glove with the offending Haywood, and the convention of outraged citi- zens, then in session, desired their presence to hear what they had to say concerning their supposed guilt. The accused obligingly responded to the invitation, made talk. which, SO far as they were concerned, had the effect of dwindling the storm to Q mild zephyr such as poets introduce with which to fan a lady's cheek in swelter- ing weather.

clause and all, passed the lower house Of
Congress Thursday evening 10y vote Of
POI 60 40. Twenty Democratic Com
gressmen showed courage OF their conyic-

measure.
The bill now goes to the senate Its
passage in that body is by no means
assured. The total Democratic strength
is forty-three; Republican, thirty-eight /;
PopulIst, three; vacancies, four. " is
believed that both Of the senators from
Louisiana, also from New York, will vote
squarely against the bin. OF course
every Republican will 1t is not improb-
able that some Democratic senator's who
would dislike TO vote against the bill
may be absent ON roll call, prcIcrring to
have the bill lie over until after the next
fall election before being made law. In
that event il is reasonably sure that
the bill would never become n law. But
it is not expected, in any event. that q
vote will be reached in the senatcior two
or three months at the earliest.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb 1.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: "rhe iin-
provemeut in the iron trade shown in
increasing sales has continued the past
week and there is more general disposi-
tion TO conceded betterment Prices,
however, are just as low as in the week
preceding. IL may be that the hopes Of
sellers have some influence upon their
Judgment, but the belief is expressed that
some OF the buying seen in the last ten
days is the result of the conviction that
the depth Of the market has been reached
aud That the first signs OF better prices
may be looked for very soon. On the
part OF some authorities in the trade
there is a disposition 60 think that some
OF tho activity lately noted is due TO the
strengthening impression that the Wilson
bill cannot pass the senate in anything
like the present form, and that with the
income tax feature eliminated, there
must be a substantial increase in duties
in many lines; or that the present ses.
sion at least will see no change ia the Nc

The following unanimous opinion, re
Gently handed down By the supreme
court in the case Of Cole vs.. shelp, 56 y.
w. 1852, will be found Of mo- little inter
est to holders Of tiil,s TO state lands:
Plaintiff derives his title 10 the lands
in suit 10y patent from the State Of Mich
igan and by mcsnc conveyances nom tho
patentec TO him. Defendant relics upon
a tax deed from the auditor general
dated September IA, 1891, for the delin-
quent taxes for the year 1887. The
proceedings TO enforce the tax lien, which
resulted in II sale OF the lnnds and the
issuance OF the deed in controversy, were
had under the tax law al 1889. Plain
tiIis grantor, who was then the owEcr OF
the land, was not served with the sub
pGna but was brought in by publication
OF the notice required by the statute.
The proceedings To forcclose the tax lien
are conceded TO he regular. Plaintiff
was permitted to introduce proof tend.
ing TO show the inValidity OF the tax
assesscd The sole question 10 BE- con
sidered is whether the decree entered by
the circuit court IN chanc"r- ie The tnA
proceedings is conclusive. and whether q
person not served with process can, il
sm action OF cjcctment, contest the val
idity Of the tax. We think the question
is ruled by in repetition OF Wiley, :.
Michigan, SIS. The provisions OF th,
statute applicable TO this case will there
bc found fully stated Every owner o
land Is held to know the law. lie knows
that his land is subject TO taxation, tha
lle must pay his fair share Of the publi'
revenue, and that II he fails to do +,
proceedings will be taken under the law

the publication the equivalent Of person

watch the proceedings provided for b,
the statute for the foreclosure of the lien
and inteposo any objections lac may

purpose Of the statute is Go give every

proceeding. lie has no right TO assum
that lie will be served with process, es

The decree in the chanccry proceeding
