The Attorney-General of New York
has rendered an opinion that the law
giving veterans preference in public en-
ployment applies to all positions where
the compensation, when divided by the
number of working days, will not ex-
coed $4 per day; or, in other words, that
no distinction is TO be made between
those employed by the day and those
employed by the year or month.

much less, because railways are no
more protected by tariffs than agri-
culture is. The bonded debts of rail-
roads VIII remain the same whether our
money standard is gold alone or is
bimetallie, but rates and earnings
must go down with everything else,
and with them the wages of labor.
Railways can no more resist this law
than they can the law of gravity. Cold
prices are not only low prices but
necessarily receding prices, for gold
under present conditions, must con
tinue to appreciate indefinitely, and
when everything else has been tried it
will be found that the only way to
maintain the gold standard is to re-
strict currency and credit, bring prices
down and keep them down to the
receding level of gold. In that way
alone can gold be kept here and the
gold standard be maintained. Prices
depend upon what things are priced in
and if we persist in having things
priced in gold only we must accept the
results. We can't enact that bushel
of wheat shall hereafter weight go
pounds and at the same time that no
more wheat shall be required for a
bushel.
But where does this road lead? To
ruin, of course, but we are in it, and
while we stay in it, it is better to know
what is before US. A. J. WARNER.

SEVEN well-preserved mummies have
been discovered beneath the ruins Of
cliff dwellers' houses in southeastern
Utah. Among the collection is a male
of giant stature, two females and two
boys. They are not bodies of the cliff
dwellers, but some race who lived be-
fore them, as they were found beneath
the ruins of the cliff dwellers' habita-
tions, and their hair is reddish instead
of black, as with the cliff jewellers. The
bodies were covered with very curious
mating or blanket of wool and feath-
ers, then packed around with cedar
bark. So well preserved are the bodies
that it could be told that one boy met
a violent death. The moustache is still
on the face of the giant and the course
of vein may be traced in the arm of
the woman.

First OF Hoofed animals.

In the rooms of Professor b. D. Cope
at Philadelphia, the person fortunate
enough to gain admission may see the
creature which all naturalists are
UNANIMOUS in pronouncing the first
re preventative of the hoofed animal
species. The animal is not alive,
either is it entire so far as flesh and
blood are concerned, but to the pa
leontologist, who cares only for the
fossiled bones, the specimen is perfect.
It is not larger than a yearling calf,
and not nearly SO tall, and was found
in the Wind river country in Wyoming.
Professor Cope named it Thenacodus
Primaevus when it was first discovered
giving it as his opinion that it was akin
to a specimen which was found several
years ago in France (the paleotherium),
and which gave Cuvier and the other
naturalists so much trouble to classify.
At the time of the discovery of the
French specimen the savants of Europe
decided that it was the ancestor of
| s:hoofed critters but the Wind river
fossil, which is easily distinguished as
being a type of the same is believed to
be much more ancient. Cope's curios-
ity was found in rocks belonging to the
eocene period, and the time when it
grazed on the western prairies has
been placed as far back as 100000
years. Every bone is perfect and in
place and the specimen could not be
purchased for $4,000

held In all counties IN the state on the
oath day of May, 1894, and that the
primaries for electing delegates to said
county convention be held on Tuesday,
the 22d day Of May, at such places as
may be designated by the call for
county conventions.
It is also recommended that, at the
county conventions held for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to this con
vention. the county central committee
for the campaign of 1894 be selected,
and that said committee meet inmedi-
ately after the adjournment of said
convention for the purpose of organic
ing; that the selection of the county
committee be made the first order of
business in said convention after per
manent organization.
The secretary of said county conven-
ton viii forward to the state chairman
list of the delegates and alternates,
together with a list of the county cen
trail committee selected, Immediately
after the adjournment of said conven-
ton.
1t is recommended that in the selec-
ton of delegates to said state eonven-
ton the several committees refrain
from electing any state officer or state
employee.
1t is further recommended, that all
persons, irrespective of former party
affiliations, who believe in the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1; who believe in. more money
and less taxes; who believe in strict
economy in government affairs; who
believe in a graduated income tax; who
believe in government ownership of
railroads; who believe the promises
made by the government to the soldier
when he enlisted be strictly fulfilled;
who believe that freight and passenger
rates in Kansas should be based on the
actual cost on construction and legiti-
mate expense of operating the railroads
and that such rates should be reduced
| to correspond with the reduced prices
of products of labor; who believe that
the wages due railroad employees should
be first lien on all property of the
road, payable before any other claim
whether the road is operated by the
company or by receivers, and that no
officer or stakeholder of any railroad
should be appointed a receiver thereof;
and all who believe that the legislation
outlined herein will restore prosperity
to the country and enable thousands
who are now tramping the country in
enforced idleness to secure profitable
employment and enjoy the fruits
thereof, be invited to participate in the
primaries and conventions.

together and see them fight it out; and
tickets at so each are said to be in
lively demand. There is no doubt in
the world that if the law could be got
around so that a condemned criminal
might be substituted for one of the
beasts, given short sword or bludgeon
and hidden to fight for his life, the
demand for places at the show would
be enlarged. For thousand centuries
make but slow changes in the raw ma
terial of humanity. And after all the
lion versus bear is free from some OF
the objections against the average

Mr.. AsToR of New York, knows how
to get even with people who own a
place of worship and who will not sell
it to him when he is seized with an am
bition to enlarge his door-yard. He
tried to buy a synagogue very near his
Madison avenue residence not long
ago, and the members of the synagogue
declined to sell, whereupon he at once
began the erection of a stable adjacent
to the synagogue. The stable is a
handsome building, but is a stable,
nevertheless, and the feeling toward
its owner among the members of that
particular synagogue is not as CORDIAL
as was that between David and jon
athan.

CONTINENTAL MONEY.

There are five requisites to the isSu-
ance of good paper money. First:
there must be a regularly established
government, as the issuance of money
is an act of sovereignty. Second: the
government must be in full and undis-
puted operation, collecting and dis
bursting revenues. Third: the money
must be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, without any
exceptions. Fourth: the government
must neither make nor allow any dis
examinations for or against any form of
the money issued. Fifth: the amount
issued must bear a reasonable ratio to
the revenues collected and the de-
mands of business.
The requisites observed, the paper
money is better than gold or silver.
Fhe colony of Pennsylvania issued such
money, and it was good as gold until
the British government demonetized it.
The greenbaclzs issued in the war
times was just as good as gold until
congress passed law discriminating
against them for the benefit of the gold
gamblers.
But what about the old continental
money? The continental notes failed
as money, because there was no gov
eminent. back of them. There was no
taxing power, or power to collect rev
enues back of them. There was no
government to receive them for servi-
ces. There was no government with
courts to enforce the legal tender
clause; and no government recognized
as national government among other
nations The continental money was
issued by the old colonial confeder-
alton before the adoption of our con-
stitution, and the circulation depended
on patriotism and not on law. And
Notwithstanding that money was pur-
poseIy counterfeited by the British
government by the ship load, to des-
troy all confidence in it, and notwith-
standing that all gold and silver had
fled the country, General Washington
and his barefooted heroes, starving in
rags, took that old money as all they
could get, fought and won from the
British tyrants the priceless jewel
of independence; and now cursed be
the goldbug traitor of these days who
sneers at that old continental money.
We hate all such as we hate the British
tories who brought that money into
diScredit.

time the old custom was first changed.

The Fiat Gold polar.

COLORADO gold costs D cents on the
dollar" The classified reports of 1893
showing outputs as printed in the daily
papers in their annual Reorganization
of Industry shows that the produc-
tive mines and placers produced about
50 100000 worth of gold, and that the
pay rolls and other costs showed that
it was produced for less than 100000
OF course we do not speak Of the thou
sands of gold prospectors who have
lost everything in their hunt for gold,
and we do not speak of them for the
same reason that the lying, bank-rid-
den press Of the east treats the produc-
ton of silver on the same lines.
When gold is produced at all, it is
generally produced at a cost far below
y cents on the dollar. We know of
many gold miners in the state who
produce gold at 1 cent on the dollar.
There isn't a silver mine. however, in
the state where silver can be produced
for less than 50cents on the dollar, but
that don't count, you know. The IN

PRoBABLY the best thing that was
ever written on the interesting ques-
ton of what women like in men is
summed up in the idea that women
like man who can be strong as lion
when trouble comes and yet if one is
nervous and tired can button up shoe
with an amount of consideration that
is mental and physical bracer-up.
They like man who likes them, who
doesent seorn their opinions, who be-
lieves in their good taste and so has
confidence in them, and wit enough to
realize that when one of the fairer sex
is slightly stubborn persuasion is more
powerful than all the arguments in the
