BEMETALTSM.

In an interview published in the Boston
Herald last week, Edward Atkinson, the
well-known statistician, gives his opin-
ions on bimetalism. He said IN part -
81 long since came to the conclusion
that both gold and silver have been de.
preciated by the great additions to the
gold supply of the world, subsequent to
the discoveries in California and Aus
ualia. Silver has been yet more depreci-
ated in recent years partly by disuse in
bank reserves; partly through excess of
production in ratio to the continued use
in other countries, partly by the very
abundance OF gold by which it has been
displace in bank reserves, mainly by
very great reduction in the cost OF min
ing, smelling and producing silver bull
lion. The true policy Of this country
would be to do away with all acts of legal
tender, and to freely coin dollars made Of
gold, or multiples Of dollar as now; and
also to coin other disks or round pieces
made OF silver under the name OF thaler,
ounce or any other name. Each person
would then conduct his business as he
pleased, in terms OF dollars or thaler or
ounces, and no one could then be cheat
ed by cheap dollars forced into circula-
ton under the legal tender acts, danger
which We have not yet escaped. Any
one who wanted to make contracts in
silver could do so, and the community
could provide itself with silver coin.''

The lsnd-jumper is little better than q
thief when he contests his neighbor's
claim and bases his contest on technic-
ality, knowing when he does it that he is
trying to get what does not belong to
him, and what his fellow-man regards as
part Of his worldly possessions. He de-
serves TO have the contempt OF the com.
munity, and he generally has II. He

paw of gang or one Of the gang, and il
the kicks could be passed around, it
would be ell the better.
Since land has become more valuable
in this county than anywhere else in the
state, the contemplate jumper has been
operating in this district, and, like the
disturber Of the tiller, he is helping to de-
lay, II not drive away prosperity. There
are instances where settlement and i'm
provement would follow final proof on
desert and timber culture claims in this
county, and the population be rapidly in
creasing, but for these outrageous per-
formances. And all on account Of some
cunningly-devised excuse for blocking the
progress Of the entryman As matters
are now moving along in the lower part
Of the county. proof on one hundred

to sixteen new farms and as many addl-
tional families-a very desirable acquisi-
ton. The proof means to the entryman

1t is the fruit Of his patient waiting and
his labor.
The jumper will very likely fail in his
attempt to steal the claim in many in
stances; still, he retards the general pro-
gress at time when every influence
ought to assist the onward movement,
and 1t seems almost pity that we are so
far beyond the old frontier customs as -
feel bound to discourage the wholesome
use Of club. The skunk and the rattle
snake retreat before civilization, but the
sneaking land-jumper crouches beneath
Its protection to spring upon his victim.

A writer in Hoard's Dairyman tells
about the German experiments in utilix-

twigs not exceeding half an inch in
thickness were crushed, not ground; then
water heated to about 100 degrees and
malt were added, and the whole mess
was left for several days. DIR. Jarcow.

three to four days the mash will have

PITCHING FORCE FROM THE
STARS.

Prof. George M. Minchin OF England
has recently carried out successfully a
very interesting experiment. He has
obtained and measured electromotive
force produced from the light of the
planet Venus.
About one-fourth Of the disc OF Venus
was illuminated, and the light of the
planet. concentrated by a telescope, was
represented by an electromotive force Of
OH volts.
The means by which Prof. Minchin
achieved this result was as follows: He
connected the poles OF quadrant electro
meter with one Of his selenium cells
which he substituted for the eye-piece Of
a big two-foot reflector telescope. The
telescope was directed towards the planet,
the light OF which fell ON the selenium
cell exciting in it the electromotive force
which was easily and accurately register
ed by the electrometer. Though the force
developed was quite insignificant, it was
appreciable, and shows that power can
be got from the heavenly bodies in
this way. And 80 some interesting in
quiries suggest themselves. Science, we
know, slumbers not nor sleeps. 1t is, in
deed the best illustration Of perpetual
motion. 1t is, perhaps, the one thing
that has been steadily going ahead and
gaining ground since these hard times
came on. How long will it be before
science works its way to the business end

THE SINFUL APPLE.

The feet Of those who tread the paths
Of righteousness are properly thought to
b . good bit hetter than the other fellows
feet. Some members Of the city council
and cthers hereabouts ought to show up
first-rate a to feet. This citv has never
before seen such spasm Of virtue. 1t
drips and oozes and runs along the gut
tiers. 90 TO speak, and all OF recent devel.
opment. From the gloomy cells OF the
sslf-denying saints Of the council. to the
very haunts OF sin-from everywhere
there rises the thankful voice Of purged
community. The reformation set in at
about the time the reorganization idea
was Get aside, and there are those wicked
enough to assume or pretend to zee a
connection between the first event and
the Subsequent outburst Of virtue and
reform--but out on such as they! Away
with them! One glance at the daily
walks and private lives OF the reformers
will suffice to smother all carping unbe-
lief in the genuineness Of the great reform
that one sees blocking up the great thor
oughfares. Look at theml The reform
ersl Can you think for moment that
their zeal savors Of revenge? Why, bless
your SOUL they would have moved in
this direction long ago had they suspected
the presence of vice in the city. How
can man, or a set of men, who never
leave their homes at night, excepting
upon rare occasions when they attend
council meetings, be expected to know
aught Of vice, male or female, until thor
oughly aroused by some great disappoint-
ment? OF course there will ever be those
who sneer at such attempts at reform.
Alas, that boodling and reform and vice
should be so closely linked in the honest
minds Of those who observe but indiffer-
emily or carelessly! But it has always
been so in large cities, like this, and
probably always will be.
What we must guard against is possible
reaction. Communities are as frequently
injured by reaction as by original Gin.
And the immaculate council must be Wig
liant lest Reaction, clothed in the be-
witchment Of rustling skirts, insiduously
creeps la and in a moment Of unguarjed
relaxation gets the sinful apple into some
Of them. She will do it yet II they dom
look out.

with the success Of the Sunnyside canal
this year.
Capt. Fred r. Reed. the promoter OF
the magnificent canal at Prosser, was q
visitor to Sunnyside this week. The
Sunnyside settlers are all rejoiced over the
magnitude of Captain Reeds irrigation
system at the point down the river. Many
Of our settlers will attend the grand OPEN

G. l.. Whitney, the well known nursery

every water tank through the arid belt
between Connell and North Yakima to
demonstrate what desert will do when

The opening OF the irrigation season has
not only been effected on time, but in ad-
vance OF the official date. as there are no
irrigators in the district who are ready to
take water but that may have it any time
they call for 1t. The facility with which
the canal and bitches that were for use
last year carry water this year was a sur
prise even to the canal officials, that
whereas 1t took three and four days to
carry water through the long Rocky Ford
lateral last year, this year it was effected
in less than twenty hours.

A man in neighboring town says that
when he meets hog now in the road he
feels like taking off his hat to It. Be-
cause, he says, the American hog is the
salvation ofthis country. When every
thing else fails, when wheat is low, and
horses won't sell, when the farmer is at
his wits end to know where to get the
money to pay his taxes and interests, the
hog comes to his rescue and helps him
out. Long live the American hog.
Notwithstanding the loss sustained by
other sections of the country through
frosts and billiards nipping and blighting

county show them to be sound, and the
prospects are unusually bright tor a big
