A SILVER LOAN.

Some newspapers Of the country
with free silver proclivities have
been making quite a spread of the
fact that Mexico has negotiated a
silver loan in Europe. Here, they
say, is a country on the basis of mo-
nometallism, whose industries are in
fourishing condition, and whose
securities are taken by the money
lenders of Europe without hesitation
They do not, however, state all the
facts in the case. The new Mexican
loan bears 5 per cent interest, and
bonds were sold at siXty-nine cents
on the dollar. This makes the an
nual interest rate a little more than
per cent. Of course the subscrip-
ton to the loan is payable in silver,
and the capitalist gets the benefit
of the present low price. He is MAX
ing rather better thing, also, out
of his interest receipts than ne does
on the gold bonds of the United
States. The last bond issue made
by this government was taken by
the syndicate at a price which gives
a little less than per cent on the in
vestment. This is what the people
as taxpayers have to pay. The Mex
lean loan returns little more than
per cent on the investment. This
is what the Mexican taxpayers have
to pay. If they are able to pay
their interest charge in silver dol
lars worth only so per cent of their
face value, to the amount of per
cent Of the principal, and the Ameri-
can people pay less than 3 per cent
in gold, it is clear that the great adj
vantage is still with us.
Mexico furnishes, indeed, a capital
object lesson in silver monometal-
lism. Her experience tells us that
the United States could, if put upon
the same basis, still negotiate loans
abroad, the principal and interest of
which should be payable in depre-
ciated silver. But the amount Of
labor required to produce the prin-
cipal and interest of those bonds
thus paid would be, in the aggre
gate, considerably more than the
capital and labor that would have to
be expended to pay the principal and
interest of present bonds in gold. 1t
is simply the old principle that you
cannot get something for nothing.
Men of finance are far from fools.
They are able to compute the rela--
tive value of silver loan
and gold loan in a few
minutes, and they make their
terms such that they will re-
ceive the same income in either
case, with a slight added percentage
when silver is the medium, to carry
possible risks of a further fall of
the white metal. No financial the
orizing and no variety of legislation
can get around these facts.

IMPROVING SEVENTH STREET.

Seventh street has the advantage
of being the first of the downtown
thoroughfares to be paved with as
phalt 1t was not open to travel
for twenty-four hours after this i'm
provement had been made until the
difference became manifest in the
greatly increased travel. Seventh
has always been busy street along
the sidewalks, but it has not been
an especial favorite for roadway
travel on account of the compare
tive narrowness and the double line
of street railway tracks. Now how
ever, it is as busy from curb to
curb as it is from curb to building
line. All kinds of vehicles choose
the smooth asphalt surface for their
travel up and down, and the bicycle
rider finds on Seventh street a pave
ment after his own heart. 1t is
probably true that the completion Of
this work has added so per cent of
the amount of travel on Seventh
street. This being the case, it is
specially desirable that the improve
ment which is to keep this one of
the principal, if not the foremost,
of our business thoroughfares, should
be carried out in other directions.
It was shown, in an article in last
Sundays G o e, how desperately
the maze of electric wires strung
along both sides OF the street and
across it overhead interfered with
beauty and utility. The advantages
of the smooth asphalt pavement be-
low are matched by the disadvan-
tages of this tangled maze of wires
above. Seventh street will never be
pleasant to the eye, nor free from
objections that have weight with
business men, until these wires have
cut down the unsightly poles that
disfgure both sides of the street,
and we would have in this magnifi-
cent thoroughfare that stretches for
so many miles from east to west
one of the finest streets that any
city can boast
The Improvement can be made
easily. 1t requires nothing but a
little interest and determination on
the part Of the property holders that
will cause them to bring proper pres
sure upon the city authorities. 1t
was determined long ago, theoret-
ically, that the electric wires in this
city were to go underground: but

RAFT OF OFFENDERS
Appear in the Police Court to
Answer TO Their Crimes.

Christopher Rafferty,, accused by his
wife of failure to support herself and
several children, was again i'll the po-
lice court yesterday. His case was once
more continued to the 18th inst.
No case was made out against Harry
Nugent, Albert Carrier and Martin But
Ter, arrested by Officer Newell on the
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, and the three men We're there
fore discharged by Judge Orr yester-
day.
The trial of Ed Jackson was yester-
cay deferred by Judge Orr until the 5th
instant. Jackson is the colored man
who. while protecting the unhardened
asphalt on Seventh street, administered
a painful push to an linguistic on
locker.
Austin Hoban and George Edison, ar
rested on the charge of stealing a case
of wine from the California Wine
house, were yesterday discharged by
Judge Orr. The proprietors of the wine
had they previously shown that the
case of wine has ever been actually
taken from their establishment.
Charles Mulfinger, charged with as
sault and battery upon Levi Aedelman
was arrested yesterday and placed un-
der bonds to keep the peace. The two
men are employees of Lanpher Finch
& Skinner, the wholesale furriers. His
fellow workmen have annoyed Aedel-
man by a great many practical jokes.
The jokes, however, do not appear to
have actually assaulted him.
Officer Ryder was responsible for the
appearance in the police court yester-
day of John Hessler and Adolph Deal,
charged with disOrderly conduct. 1t
was testified, however, that the Incl
dent involving John and Adolph was
simply an athletic encounter, conducted
strictly in accordance with the rules
so successfully applied by their noble
author in conges ting the eye of his
own son. Convinced that the accused
had behaved in the most orderly man
ncr, Judge Orr at once discharged
them.
An old teamster named T. Burns was
taken before the municipal court yes
terday afternoon on the charge that he
had stolen whip from Nick FIynn's
buggy near the corner of Wabasha and
Fifth streets. The whip involved was
but an inexpensive article valued at 40
cents, SO Judge Orr did not feel justified
in depriving Mr. Burns, by the COM
promising possibilities of imrnedia te
trial, of the opportunity of seeing the
balloons go up tomorrow. The case
was therefore continued until the 5th
George Swartz yesterday pleaded
guilty to having stolen a set of har-
ness, and was given a suspended SEN
tence Of ninety days, on condition that
he should leave the city. Mr.. Swartz
was brought to realize that it would
be hopeless task to prove that his
former explanation was trustworthy,
and that the harness has merely fallen
upon his shoulders from the mysterious
recesses of the blue enlpyrean, like
mamma upon the desert. The family of
the accused gave satisfactory assur-
ances that the 1eniency of the court
would serve the ends of justice.

related that he had formerly actuated
the relentless arm of Attila, the
scourge of God C'fagellum Del" in

that during his last earthly cycle he
had accumulated the reprehensible mir
vana of Capt. Kidd, the distinguished

tions he carried a wand of oak wood.
The other prisoners could claim no
such warlike affiliations either in the
present or in the previous century.
Neither had they borne wands at the
performance last month The court
was content to hold Williams alone,
who will induce further manifestations
before his honor next Friday.

Peter ]. Miesen, the eldest son of
Anton Miesen. the we'll known manager
OF the Pabst Brewing company, of this

missing man was the representative of
the same company in the Flour City.
Last Wednesday evening he took din

night. He left no explanation of his
absence nor has he since been heard

business prosperous. No reason can
therefore be advanced for his depar-
