This Country the Battle Ground.
Emile Loubed, president of the now
ly formed National Bimetallic League
of France, announces his views i.l 4
very conservative manne-. He does
not even claim that the restoration Of
silver will raise prices, but he makes
point that the gold men will be puz-
zled to answer. He shows that every
single standard country is suffering
from a monetary crisis; that the price
of gold has not only been maintained,
but has advanced, in spite of largely
increased production, because of the
free coinage of gold and not of silver,
and that the latter is the cause Of
which the monetary stringency is the
effect. Working along this line the
French league will prove n valuable
auxiliary, but will scarcely lead. The
battle-ground is in the United States.

Uumor at the Altar.

Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service. One of them relates
how an old man brought rather un-
willingly to the altar could not be in

clergyman, Il really cannot marry YOU
unless you do as you are told" But
the man still remained silent. At this

bridegroom encouraged him with: go

was, strangely enough, the woman
who could not be prevailed upon to
speak. When the clergyman rcmon-

II art he u Clam.

We find the following article of
good advice going the rounds of the
press, which is Just as applicable to
this section as others: Oftentimes
when mining men and experts for
syndicates come into a place to look
for an investment, inquiries are made
as to where a mine can be had that
presents d suitable showing for in
vestment, one that shows well for the
amount of work done, be it 800 or
5000 feet of development. They are
perhaps directed by a citizen to a GER
tain location owned by Mr.. b, and
upon finding him he is asked what
sort of IA mine he has, and on what
terms a lease and bond can be Sc.
sured, provided the mine shows up
samples equal to his representations.
He Immediately says: "My group of
mines is worth S15o,ooo," and then
proceeds to place restrictions upon
the probable investors which cannot
be met reasonably, and the mines are
allowed to remain a dead horse on his
hands, and worthless holes in the
ground, because he has not the means
to work them and is so unreasonable
and hard to deal with that ever a
wealthy syndicate cannot or will not
handle them. A better way would
be to hold III advantages by making
the price $1,000 instead of S15o,ooo.

the only sure test q stranger has.
Every man wants an even break. If
he is going to buy a horse, a piece of
town property, or Il mine, he has a
right to satisfy himself by looking at
and testing the property, and if he is
restricted, he goes to a place where
he Is not and there makes his invest
ment.

THIS MAY BE o
Mountaineering on the Golden Throne
of the IlImalayas.

Mountaineering on the Golden Thronen
of the HImalayas.
Mr.. William Martin Conway, the
vice president of the Alpine club, de-
scribed before an Edinburgh audience
the other evening how he and two
friends, with a Swiss guide and some
Sepoys. assembled the Golden Throne"
peak in the H~imalayas. They did not
quite conquer the throne, but assembled
to the respectable height of TWENTY
three thousand feet. The difficulties
In their way he illustrated by mention
ing that they spent nine and q half
in cutting steps in hard blue ice
on the edge of a ridge exposed to the
full blaze of the sun, and in an atmos-
phere SO rarcfied that they we're rem
dercd sick and dizzy. The party were
rewarded, however, for their toll by
some magnificent views of the sur
rounding peaks in the light of the set
ting sun.
When they set off on the return
Journey darkness had set in, and the
perils OF the journey were thereby
greatly increased. They finally
reached n slope of ice, on which there
was nothing left for it but to sit down
and fly forward into the darkness at
headlong speed. Right in front OF
them they knew there yawned a
crcvas3e moro than a thousand feet
deep, and the only way to cross this
was to slide down the slope with
enough impetus to carry them over the
edge on to the other side. Their sensa-
tlon, Mr.. Conway said, as they sudden
ly left the solid ice and found thew had
nothing to sit upon but space was ex-
hilarating in the extreme.
Fortunately they landed safely ON
the other side, and continued their de-
scent, literally keeping up the mo-
they had gained until they
were carried within three or four wards
of their tent.

form for which many citizens having
the city's highest good at heart had earn
estly labored. and which took the street
work out of ward politics to n great ex-
tent and placed it on the basis of bust
ness principles. The effect of Mr.. Lanes
little bill is to place the commissioner of
public works on! exactly the footing of
the former street com missioner, except
that the new officer has a longer term
and must be a civil engineer. He is not
allowed discretion even to select his
own assistants or to purchase supplies
for his departments: because these pow
ers granted him by the bill esta bIishing
his office are abolished by the latte, bill
placing that office entirely under the
control of the Mayor and aldermen.
The only thing gained is longer tenure
and professional man in the office.
That is something; it is considera BILE;
but it is not the main thing Except
on sufferance of the board of aldermen,
the commissioner of public works can
not choose his foreman or buy material
and supplies, and the whole business lies
open to log-rolling and political exploita-
tion as before.
Another thing the people of Portland
would like to know is why their inter-
ests were not looked after more vigilant-
ly by their representatives at Augusta
during the last days of the session, and
how these representatives happened to
let such a misehievous piece of legisla-
zion get by without notice,
The Portland daily press., 1895-04-12

City Solicitor Chapman has given the
opinion that the new law passed at the
suggestion of Representative Lane of
Augusta, will control the commission of
public works so far as it conflicts with
ths law esta blishing that commission,
mud no doubt he is right. In what does
it conflict? The commission law says
the commissioner "shall have charge of
the maintenance and repairs according
said city of Portland" Under the new
law he is to have charge of these things
"nnder the direction and control of the
board of aldermen" The commission
Law also provides that the commissioner
shall be authorized to purchase any
thing necessary and convenient to con-
duct the business of his department. +"
Under the new law he is only authorized
to do these things "under the direction
and control of the board OF aldermen. y
The commission law says the commits
sioner shall employ all assistants, fore
men and clerks, and make all contracts
for the supply of labor (subject to the
provisions of section five of the act), and
material necessary to carry on the work
of the said commissioner" Under the
new law all these dutdies are to be dis,
charged subject to the direction and
control of the board of aldermen; that
il, the commissioner is to appoint as as
sistants, foremen and clerks, whomever
tn e board of aldermen directs, and in
stead of buying the material necessary
to carry on the work in his charge he is
to buy such as the board of aldermen di-
rect. In short the commissioner is de-
graded from the resposnible position the
commission law intended he should o.
oupy to the mere agent of Alderman
Peters and his four assistants in the
board. Yet one of the Portland mem
bers of the judiciary committee is report
ell as expressing the opinion that the
new law was good move. 1t is a good
move evidently for Alderman Peters and
the other gentlemen who have been fight
ing from the start to prevent the estab-
lishment of any commission at all.

Some Things That the People of Portland
Would Like to Know.
(From the Portland Advertiser.)

(ETOm Une HOftlanQ AQVeruSer)
Mr.. Lanes account of the bill in re-
gard to city offieias) varies in some
particulars from the version given by the
Argus last week, on the authority of " a
member of the judiciary committee. !"
According to the statement of this un-
named member of the committee be-
fore Mr.. Lane presented his bill TO the
House he submitted it to Representative
Larrabee of Portland-who is member
of the judiciary committeeman Repre-
sentative Hamlin of Ellsworth, "by the
former of whom some changes were sug-
gested and accepted by Mr.. Lane.n Mr..
Lane, however, says nothing about hay
ing submitted the bill to Messrs. Ham
lin and Larrabee and having adopted
changes suggested by the latter. He
simply mentions having consulted MEM
bers of the judiciary committee to see if
they would consider his bill, and he
states positively that the committee
made no changes and that the law
stood as he drafted it, without sugges-
tion from anyone except that the words
and control" were inserted at the, sug-
gestion of a Bangor man.
Mr.. Lanes account is to be accepted of
course as correct, but it still leaves
points unexplained that the people in a
dozen or fifteen Maine cities-all, in fact,
which have the two-cham bered form of
government-would like to have ex-
planned. The people of these cities
want to know, for instance, why Mr..
Lane, if he wished to change the charter
of Augusta with reference to the powers
of the city council, did not introduce a
special bill to that effect. They want to
know what business he had to NEEDLE
with the charters of other cities, and
without the desire or knowledge of the
citizens thereof to draft aud procure the
passage, in surreptitions manner, of

lished manner OF government in those
other cities.
