TT CANNOT BE DONE.

The advocates of free coinage of silver
at the ratio of Is to are making great
cry, but they have not counted noses
yet. We remember that epidemic that
swept over the country under the name
of the Greenback party. 1t was similar
in many respects to the present Silver
party, and yet in some respects it bad
more merit. We did not believe at the
time that money in the shape of the
governments promise to pay was good
money for ultimate redemption. We
could not understand why the govern
ment's promise to pay should be good
money to redeem the governments
other promise to pay, for the simple
reason that if one was good the other
was. The epidemic ran it's course and
died out. And yet, as we have said, it
had some features that were at least as
plausible as any argument advanced by
s'Coin." Coin thinks that by legisla-
tion the value of silver may be doubled,
and that when doubled the money can
be used as money of ultimate redemp-
tion. The greenback theory was more
aAOACcSs IL R0A PO6C0 bLO oOOb ~
owed, with money at least as valuable
as that which it redeemed. 1t had be-
hind it, too, the idea that the govern
ment would take the greenbacks in pay
ment of customs, internal revenues
and income tax. AS the government
would thus take in payment one-third
of its total volume of money every year,
81 e Iii
the greenbacks in existence every three
years, and at their face value in gold,
too.
Will this happen with silver money
II congress can pass a law to double the
value of silver as compared to gold, then
it can pass law to reduce the value of
gold one half. Practically the free coin
age of silver would do this. Who doubts
what the result will be if such law
be passed? Who doubts what the re-
suit would be if congress should declare
that twenty dollar gold piece would
only be taken in payment Of GUS
toms and internal taxes as equal to ten
silver dollars7 There could be but one
result-the man with the twenty dollar
gold piece would not use it to pay his
debts with; nor would any of it find its
way into the government Golfers. II
would go to Europe, where it would buv
$40 worth of silver bullion. or at least
be exchanged for a like numb of silver
coins of the value of dollar. The day
after such a law passed there would not
be a twenty dollar piece in circulation
In the United States. Yet this is what
the alleged ''friends of sIlver'' propose
to do. They purpose making ten dol.
lars worth of silver worth twenty dol.
lars in gold, and by the converse of the
proposition twenty dollars worth oi
gold worth only ten dollars in silver
The scheme will not work.
The craze is on, and if it were voted
upon now we believe it would win hande
down. If it does it will create a period
of distress never before equalled in this
country; period that will only END
when the people, convinced of theil
error, have congress convened to undo
the evil legislation.

Old Farmer Reed was driving some
OF the boarders over the beautiful New
Hampshire hills, where the winding
roads are either up hill or down hill and
a level space is not found in many miles
As he urged the strong, wiry horses
up one of the steep ascents, he worked
out the following line of argument:
"Neaw, l s'pose you city folks think
It kinder tough to make the critters pull
up these hills, but 'taint so mean as you
think. It's big sight meaner to run
'em down hill, an I'll tell yer why.

known Character.

Tom Anderson blew his head to
pieces at 4 p. IN. yesterday aud died.
\ charge of buck shot did the bust
ness. Tom seated himself in a
chair; a string with a loop hung
from the trigger of the gun. lie
placed the muzzle to his chin and
pressed on the string with his foot.
There was loud report and the
suicides head was split open from
The chin up the right side to the
coronal regions. The top Of the
skull tore away and hung on the
shoulder. The brain was scattered
from the roof Of the piazza, in which
he horrible deed was committed, to
the floor and the yard.
Tom Anderson was a Dane. He
was here a number of years and
was a well known character. His
age was about thirty-seven, accord
ing to his most intimate friends.
lie had no family nor relatives in
Honolulu. He was employed at
the Fashion Stables for a number
of years. For three years he has
been coachman for Mrs. II. Corn
well, corner of Judd and Liliha.
On the piazza of his cottage at that
place the suicide was committed.
by his employers Tom is said to
have been a very honest fellow,
frugal and saving. Sometimes he
would get drunk, however, when
his purse strings would be opened,
and a fit of dependency would
follow.
OF late years poor Tom has had
peculiar mania. He wanted to kill
himself, and tried it more than the
fatal time. A short while ago he
took poison, and lay between life
aud death in the hospital for num-
Der OF days. AT times he would
come down town, tell his friends of
desperate determination to COM
nit suicide that night. and then
would go off and get drunk. Some
Of the hackmen about town disliked
to have him ride with them for fear
he would end himself under their
care. He was tight Monday,
and made the usual threats against
his life. Some of his friends
became alarmed and had him
locked up for safe-keeping.
He was released Tuesday morning.
At that time he was, to all appear
ances, sober.
An inquest was held or the case
and Suicide" was given as the
cause of death. The remains were
given burial by friends, Henry
Williams having charge of the mat
ter. Tom leaves a sister in Den
mark. He also left little money,
the fruits Of his saving disposition.
His sister was married to a sharp
young Dane of more than average
education. A few years ago Tom
went back home and carried $2, 500
with him. The brother in-law
borrowed the money to invest in
business. Instead of using it that
way, however, the fellow left for
other climes, and both Tom and
his sister were deep in the lurch.
This is believed by some to have
unsettled the poor fellows mind.

THE STATE PAID FOR
LANDS IT DOES NOT
NOW HOLD.
SaspIclonsly Family Records Of Form.
ef Public Oaicials Revealed by
Dusty Documents.

Faulty records and carrless,,css
on the part of public officials In the
past, is the origin Of puzz,ing
question that the state canal com
mission Is just now trying to solve.
Several weeks ago, ~ hile searching
among the old records IN the base
ment Uf the capitol building the
commissioners found ~ receipts
showing that mn aggregate of $l4,-
28O was paid by the state in 1868
for IA pieces Of land near the Lewis
town reservoir. This land cr a
part of Il, NJ least, was secured hy
the state through condemnation
proceedings, under dire .tion of leg
islative enactment. The law au.
thorizing the purchase provided
{ that the state board Of public works
should keep a complete record Of
the land purchased, but this part of
the ACT seems to have been totally
slisregarded. The commission is
unable to And any deeds or record
Of the land, and the receipts simply
show that certain sums Of money
were paid for land In u certain SUR.
vey, the number Of which Is not
given; but there is nothing to indi.
cate the extent of the acreage or
the exact location of the exact tract
that should have been transferred
to the state.
Commissioners Rownd and Hart
nett made II trip to Logan county
the latter part Of last week and
after considerable trouble ascer.
taine,l that deeds had been cXecut-
ell for two pieces, and the record.
Uf the probate court show tina con-
demnation proceedings were insti-
tuted for six others. The county
records, however, are not complete,
aud the commission is still enlenv-
Orfng to unravel the tangle and as.
certain what the state received in
return for its yl4,260. A rather
suspicious circumstance in con.
nection with the transaction is the
report Of John +. Terrence as act.
ing commissioners, made ON the
subject in 1876. In this rep.rt the
acting commissioner makes the
statement that his book containing
the record Of the land purchased
was lost, and for that reason little
information is contained in any oI
the documents. The suppnsition Is
that most of the land is still in pos.
session Of the parties who received
the money from the state or those
to whom II was afterwards trans
ferred by them.-Dispatch.
