4 NEW PKOPHET

James B.. Miles, of Helena. proba- aly student of the Neal Financial School, of that city, has rephed to Coins Financial School. The follow ing extracts are taken from his letter published in the Arkansas, Common wealth, of Little Rock.
 The effect of g silver standard would raise the price on all suppiies~to the sil- ger standard. as they would be regulated oy the value in Europe, where we send Sur surplus, and would be doubled Wages would be the last thing to be af. sected, and the advance would be gradual The man who Is working for one dollar per day would find that his wages would rise very gradually. if at all, aud certainly not up to two dollars per. day. and, he would be just that much worse of.
 N < x. A
 Fourth-What effect would silver basis have on transportation ? About all the States have laws regulating the charges on railxoadS, which are hardly, sufficient to pay expenses. With silver basis their expenses would be doubled and they eoul0 Gsa iAersasse their charges until the. 'eglslst1res mes and changed the laws. which they upa;d be slow, about doing. fhe cosasaqGSaee would be that nearly avery railroad would have, to stop, or bankrupt ther owners.
 We simply wish to ask, what per csnsof the "expenses'' of railroads con saitute their pay rolls-?. and keeping shis question in mind. invite the read CTS attention to the inconsistency of Gol. Miles argument: Salaries, di rect and indirect. constitute. about 6G ger cent of the expenses. of railroads. Ii the expenses are doubled the labor ing mans salary must be doubled, The other 40 per cent is taxes, insurance aud interest on bonds. and no financial legislation will increase or, diminish these items.
 Besides this inconsistency, Col. Miles makes statementsnot verified by. facts. and argues altogether from a prophetic standpoint, Coins, rguments are based on experience, and facts and figures which may be obtained by any citizen.
 Tue time. of prophecy, was hundreds of years ago. Who shall credit, the phophet of this blessed year of. our Lorp?

A CHANCE FOR ECONOMY.

While the Virginia Enterprise is
busy advocating the cutting down OF
official salaries below the point fixed
by law, in order to establish flimsy
political "record" for a few OF its
party in the Legislature, it has moth
ing whatever to say regarding the
high freight and passenger charges
on the V. & T. Railroad. The COM
pany is now charging 10 cents a
mile or more when cents or even 8
would save a thousand times more
money to the taxpayers, than the va
rious picayunish reductions advoca-
ted by the Enterprise. II the paper IS
really in earnest, let it begin al once
to advocate a reduction of fares ana
freight on the V. & T. Railroad.
This is real, practical economy, and
would be welcomed by the travelling
public The reforms advocated by a 50
called reform paper in Virginia City
saves the taxpayers about ~ per an
mum per capita, while the reduction
i'm V. & T. r. Il. fares. and frelghts
would save the people of the State a
clean 100000. Calling for a reduc-
ton OF official salaries, may be very
good entering wedge toward reducing

lExOW TALKS FREELY.
Committee Avcrse to Further Investign-
tion-Dr. Parkburst.

NEW YORK, January 5.-Senator
Iexow. chairman OF the Senate Investi-
eating Committee. talked to-day with
more freedom than usual in relation 10
the announcement made by the Mayor
that through the Commissioners of Ac-
counts he would institute a thorough in
yestlgation OF every department OF the
city government III Mayor Strong can
find legal authority for making such an
investigation sufficiently thorough to re-
move the necessity for further legislative
action OF that sort. |, for one. Will be
abundantly thankful" said the Senator.
II do not care to be quoted as ex-
pressing any final or definite opinion IN
these matters. but can say, for myself
In particular. and 1 think for the majority
OF the committee, that the feeling Is
averss to continuing the Investigation
unless there is a positive and practically
unanimous expression OF opinion on the
part OF the public demanding n continu-
ance OF the work. Under such clrcum-
stances. OF course. ! and the other mem
bers OF the committee who remain In the
Legislature, are willing 10 work in what
ever way may be our duty"
Senator Lexow was asked whether the
recent formal request OF the Chamber OF
Commerce would be considered by the
committee a sufficient basis for a con-
tinuance OF the work OF Investigation.
His reply indicated that the action OF the
chamber might not be so considered. He
said:
1T was on the recommendation or re-
quest OF the Chamber Of Commerce that
the committee was originally appointed,
but whether the request OF the Chamber
for the continuance Of an Investigating
committee will be considered q sufficient
cause for continuing the work Of investi-
CATION I am not prepared to say. That
is matter for the Senate 10 determine.
l do not think. however, that there will
be any inclination to continue, except
in answer to a general and practically
unanimous indication of public opinion
I'm favor OF such n course"
When asked concerning Dr. Parkhurst
and his failure to appear before the COM
mttee on the last day OF its session,
when Superintendent Byrnes was a wit
ness, although he had been served with
a subpoena, the Senator replied:
II absolutely refuse to criticse DR..
Parkhurst. I think that he has done too
much for New York city TO be subjected
70 criticism now. think that the stories
that he was afraid 10 face Byrnes are
nonsensical. I believe him TO be brave
and fearless man. and whatever he does.
/ will not criticise him. He is a theo-
reticai reformer, and attacks friends and
enemies alike; but. as | said before. he
has done too much for reform In this ci.y
to be criticised now"

pany, Messrs Leake &c Carter. of Rich

The declaration OF the plaintiff was de-
INJURED TO, and the court took time 10
consider the demurrer.
Decisions were rendered in several cases
submitted in November. The court con-
tinued two days.
Up 10 this time the oyster trade has
been very poor. II is probable that the
cold weather will enable the planters to
get Of some OF their surplus stock. one
tauble is that oysters are so abundant.
il 1858 there was a great strike on the
natural rocks and for eight or ten years
vast quantities of shells have been
planted. II is pretty clear that there can
not be less than 5000 acres OF planting
ground In use. Indeed. there is little doubt
that from 5000 TO le0.vp acres
were IN use ten years ago. and thar under
the new law the acreage has increased
a little.
For two years more building has been
going on in this county than was ever
known in the same length Of time be-
fore. Many new dwellings. and several
new store-houses have been built. The
dwellings are more convenient and
prettier than OF yore. and the merchants
are abandoning the old-time country-shop
and are building handsome and COM
modious store-houses. The merchants de-
clare that the Christmas trade was better
than ever before. In the face of these
facts there is the constant and contagious
talk about hard times.
a new courthouse Is sadly needed, and
the West Point Virginian is giving the
citizens of Gloucester an opportunity 10
agitate the building of a new courthouse
through its columns.
