A School Trststee-E Elect HhO Can Neither
Read Nor Write.
SAN JOSE, CAL, June 14.-County Su-
perintendent Chapman is in quandary as
to whether or not s. Avancinas, who was
recently elected School Trustee in Las
Manzanitas District, is entitled to hold the
Office.
Avancinas can neither read nor write,
and in signing the certificate signs his
name with mark. There is some doubt
as to whether Avancinas can legally hold
office. Under the new election laws man
must be able to read and write to vote, and
it is believed that man who cannot quail
ify as voter cannot hold Office. A decision
will be secured on the question.

Put Up the Money.

Certain correspondents of the Iona
coming Reeie~, carried away by the
eXuberance of their chidless zeal for
"higher education" are mistaken.
No law-abiding citizens are opposed
to high schools.
What they do antagonize is high
schools at the expense of the common
school fund.
So, gentlemen-you who want high
schools, put up the money for them,
and the JOURNAL is with you, no
matter what teacher now in service
sinks or swims.
Hence. If DR.. Porter and his Frost
burg co-enthusiast will persuade the
people to pay ungrudgingly enough
money to run all the A B C schools the
full time, they will be in better bust
ness than dealing out slushy levies on
a common school fund, already several
thousand dollars short, for high school

A Hint to Crackers.

Some people think newspaper should
have about a page of local news, whether
anything happens or not. Local editors
cannot make people break their necks, COM
init suicide, matrimony or any other exciting
thing, that goes to make up the material
from which the local writer makes para
graphs.-Cumberlan Times
The same embarrassment sometimes
besets even weekly paper. Nothing
but work-a-day happenings occur, and
at the end Of the week the paper is
dull, insipid and altogether newslcss.
Still the subscriber blames the editor
with about as much propriety as a
merchant would hold his bookkeerer
answerable for a slack week at the
credit counter.

Still SkepticaI.

CUMBERLAND, Mp, June II, 1895.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
You say that the laws have not been
creative OF the value of gold, but
regulative. This. it seems to me, is
incorrect. The laws have been con-
.f'matice and creative, not regulative.
The law of 1892 fixed the amount of
gold in gold dollar at 24.75 grains.
The law of 1884 changed this to 23.2
grains, and the law of 1887 again
changed it to 1922 grains. The laws
of 1873 and of 1878 doubled the de.
mand for gold and, therefore, doubled
the price of it. By these laws the
United States must have gold to redeem
all its other money, whereas before
that half of this redemption was done
in silver.
This fact alone is sufficient to double
the value of gold.
Now, then, no matter what the value
of the gold dollar becomes, is that
value to be confirmed as the standard
of value or would it not be better
to return to the double standard, which
is more stable as measure, and less
liable to iuctuation
We are now reaping the fruits of the
gold standard, and business and trade
suffer the consequences of it. Put sill
yer back where it Was in 1873, and all
kinds of production and industry will
revive.
Senator Sherman now alleges over
production of silver as his reason
against the free coinage of silver, but
If that is his reason now, what was his
reason in 1873 when the production of
gold over silver was nearly 40 millions
