If the fat of a single government
is sufficient to impart value to a
coin, or any other community, per-
haps free silverites are right, if so
the whole world has been wrong for
thousands Of years, and all the la.
Dor and all the taxation to which
the people of the world have been
subject to in the past has been un,
necessary and unjustifable. The
fact that the government does not
make money was shown by the his
tory of the trade dollar. That was
coined free of charge and delivered
free without expenes to the owners
of bullion and contained SO more
grains than was contained in two
half dollars or four quarters. It-wai
legal tender for all debts up to five
dollars just as half dollars and quar-
tiers were. The trade dollar, more
valuable intrinsically, but without
the credit of the government be
hind it, sank TO so cents, while thu
less valued coins were maintained
at full par. What happened to The
trade dollar would be exactly wha
would happen to all our silver dol
lars if free and unlimited coinage
were adopted"
The above is an extract
fl ON Carlisle's speech, deliv-
cred in Louisville last week,
What he says about the trade
dollar is the truth, and every
intelligent man knows it.
Still the cheap John poll l.
clans insist that the fiat o.
this government alone is al
that is necessary to make
any coin valuable.

Nesting between Lookout Noun,

city of Chattanooga, which, inclu.
ding the suburban part of the city,
contains about 1000 inhabitants.
In this historic place, the 25th an
nual meeting of the Tennessee
Press Association was held, in
which mans genius is displayed in
the erection of magnificent and cost
ly buildings, and In the manufac-
turing of numerous and varied arti-

sible during our brief stay to visit
all of the places of interest, hence
the writer's inability to give full
account of what may be seen in and
around that city. A notable place
of interest is Lookout Mountain,
which is now traversed by two lines
of road-one by a wide and the 9TH
er by narrow guage. On the for
mer line we went upon the noun
tain and returned upon the latter.
On the narrow gauge there is steep
incline road, 1000 feet in length,
extending from the base to the top
of the mountain, and those unaccus-
toned to that mode of travel feel
somewhat relieved on reaching their

THE report of the director
of the mint for 1894 shows
that in November last, there
was $500, 381 $3.50 of gold III
the hands of the people and
on the same date only $56,
443, $40 of silver in circula-
ton. The same report also
shows that on that date the
gold in the United States
amounted to 1926, 632, 068,
and silver to the amount of
1925, 1856, 552. Thus it will
be seen that during one Ofthe
months in which money chan
ges hands more than at
other seasons of the year, there
was SOS, S91, 881 of silver
dollars actually lying idle in
the Treasury. Not only SO
but there are millions of doll
lars on deposit at present in
the several banks of this
country. But notwithstand-
ing all this, a strenuous effort
is being made to bring about
a belief in the minds of the
people that although there
are millions of money now
lying idle, still there is a
great necessity for more
money. The great trouble
with this country is that
money is not equally divided,
and the placing of the tax on
consumption and compelling
a part of the people to care
for others has added to the
distribution of mon-
ey. Our whole system of
is wrong, and there
lies the greatest evil to which
the people are subjected.
There is neither reason nor
logic in believing that adding

HERE Is a mystery sur

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
5.-The total registration of old students
on Wednesday evening amounted to $50.
AT the same time last year the enrolment
was 40. 1t is probable that the list OF old
students will reach total of 750 within
the next few days. They are coming in on
every train and the stragglers will con-
tinue to do so until the latter part of next
week.
The registration of new students to-day
approximated a total of 800. The list will
not be complete for several days yet; the
total will reach about $500.
Professors Murphy and Griggs, who have
been studying abroad during the past year

the brush of the artist.
For the first time since the doors were
thrown open there was a crowd present
and univeral satisfaction prevailed.
In the machinery department every
thing movable was in motion, all running
with the marvellous motive power gener-
lated over twenty miles away. The huge
centrifugal pump is run with 25-horse-
power induction motor, and throws L., 900
gallons OF water per minute.
A 10-horsepower motor operates line of
shafting which runs the sewing machines
and other light machinery, AMI a 15-horse-
power motor moves the machinery of the
Southern Pacific shop exhibit.
In another portion of the building are a
number of electric fans, whose busy hum
is produced by direct communication with
the Folsom power house.
Out at the park the cattle display is COM
plete and will vie with that of former
years, and in many respects far surpasses
them.
The city is rapidly filing up with visi-
tors, aud from now on the great enterprise
may be considered to be in full blast.

its protection.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. Sail the
of Occidental were in Santa Rosa to-day to
hear or take part in the case of Postmaster
Coy, who was accused of opening letter
in the United States mails.
Mrs. Addie Taylor was the first witness
called. She testified that she had known
w. B. Coy for the past nine years. On the
18th of August last she sent letter to her
sister, Mrs. James Gibson, who lives at
Guerneville.
The letter was inclosed in a square en-
veIope and was stamped and sealed when
the letter was dropped in the postoffice.
On August 16 she saw Postmaster Coy at
the postotfice and showed him an en-
velope which her sister had returned to
her from Guernevilie, and as the writing
on it was not hers she asked Gov if it was
his writing. The envelope returned was
not the one originally used by witness.
The envelope returned was not the one
originally used by witness. 1t was an
oblong-stamped envelope. Coy stated it
was not his writing.
Mrs. Taylor told Coy the letter had been
opened and part of the contents were miss
ing. She there and then accused Coy or
some one in the postoffice of having opened
the letter.
Mrs. Taylor further said she had fire.
quently missed papers and letters, and
that when she threatened to report the
matter to the authorities at Washington
Postmaster Coy had said she had better
let the matter drop or it would cost her
family their farm, and added if she did
not want to have her mail delivered at Oc-
cidental to have it handled at Freestone.
Mrs. Taylor said that she had received
many letters through the mail that showed
evidences of being tempered with; all the
family letters looked as if they had been
steamed and opened.
The defense occupied the afternoon.
W. f. Taylor testified that he had talk
with Postmaster Coy on August %. in
which Coy said the letter had been found
in the road by children and given to him.
Coy said he had furnished the envelope
and had addressed it. He identified the
letter shown in court as the one Mrs. Tay-
lor had previously shown him.
Mrs. Proctor was sworn, and said that
she and Mrs Mccoy had found the letter
in the road about three miles from Occi-
dental. The envelope had been torn.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 5.-To-day E.
B. Oliphant, receiver of the Bank of
Palouse, began suit against the Spokane
and Eastern Trust Company of this city
for $25. 900 damages.
John R. Paine, who holds $21.SoO of the

T. Cross, owning $4,000 of said stock,
have also brought damage suits, alleging
that the failure of the bank was caused bv
the action of the Spokane and Eastern
Trust Company.
When the bank of Palouse was reorgan-
ized November last, it was agreed among
the creditors to extend its credit for one
year, taking certificates of deposit to secure
the same.
The Bank of Palouse alleges that the re-
fusal of the Spokane and Eastern Trust
Company to cash draft less than the
amount of their daily balance on deposit
there caused the failure. The suit is one

look for it and found it about a rod
from the classroom. The letter was taker
out of the envelope and put inside new
one and dropped in the postoffice.
Other witnesses were examined, and it
was generally considered that the defense
was strong one.
The case is an interesting one, as all the
parties concerned are well known. and the
courtroom was crowded with spectators.
At O clock the case was given to the
jury, and at O'Clock they returned YER
dict of not guilty.
Coy and Taylor are rival merchants,
and some say the trouble grew out of the
jealousy that has existed between them
for long time.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. 5.-Four
well-known gentlemen of Santa Rosa, in
Guiding District Attorney T. J. Butts, and
four ladies attired in boomers went to
Sebastopol the other night on their wheels.
On their arrival at Sebastopol they
noticed a revival meeting going on in one
of the churches and one of the gentlemen
bet the ladies box of candy that they
would not go inside and take front seat
with their boomers on. The bet was
taken with the understanding that the
gentlemen would follow.
The ladies marched into the church and
took front seat followed by three of the
gentlemen. The fourth remained outside
He said he could face jury or crowded
courtroom, but his courage quailed at the
idea of escorting quartet of ladies attired
in boomers to a front pew at church
meeting.
The preacher, seeing the ladies in bloom
ers, i'm mediately changed his discourse
and began denunciation of the vanity of
woman's attire and especially the folly of
wearing boomers. During the discourse
the eyes of the congregation cantered on
the ladies in boomers and their escorts.
