II seems that the idea OF . balloon
voyage TO the North Pole is not q joke.
as most people had supposed, but 3 seri-
Gus undertaking. which Is going to be
carried out. Three Arctic explorers are
to start from one Of the islands Of the
Spitzbergen group in . balloon for the
North Pole. which they expect to reach
in forty.two hours. The balloon has .
lifting capacity Of three tons; 10 carries
machinery for the renewal Of it's gas sup
ply; the voyagers will take with them
all the instruments necessary for geo
graphical and meteorological observa-
tions. After locating the North Pole
they will try to reach either the Sibe-
rian or the American coast, being guided
by the wind which happens to prevail.
The balloon is Of the ordinary bell shape,
but on one side ID carries 9 sail like the
mainsail Of q schooner. Let US hope
that these brave and enterprisiDg men
will come back safely.

Perhaps the oldest pavement ever
laid is one just completed at Chino, Cal.
II is made mostly Of molasses, and II it
proves all Of the success claimed for ID,
il may point a way for the sugsr planters
of the South to pro6tably dispose OF the
millions OF gallons Of useless molasses
which they are said to have on hand.
The head chemist Of q sugar factory at
Chino, Mr.. E. Turke, was led to make
certain experiments, Of which the new
sidewalk, g thousand feet long. from the
factory to the main street, is the result.
The molasses used is q refuse product,
hitherto believed to be of no value. II
Is simply mixed with q certain kind Of
sand to about the consistency Of asphalt
and laid like an asphalt pavement. The
composition dries quickly and becomes
quite hard, and remains 30. The pecu-
liar point of it is that the sun only makes
IL drier and harder, instead of softening
ii, as might be expected. A block OF
the composition, two feet long, q foot
wide, and one inch thick, was submitted
TO severe tests and stood them well.
Laid with an inch or SO Of its edges rest
ing on supports. IL withstood repeated
blows OF 9 machine hammer without
showing any effects Of cracking or bend

GOLD BONDS IN OHIO.

A new and important point in the con-
troversy over the silver question has
been raised in the East by the decision
Of Chief Justice M~ainshall Of the Su-
preme Court Of Ohio affirming it to be
unlawful for a municipal corporation to
contract that it's debts shall be paid ex-
clusively in gold. The statement OF facts
in the case 10 thus given by the Chicago
Inter Ocean:
The trustees of the sinking fund OF the
city OF Cincinnati were anxious to refund
q 4 per cent interest bearing debt OF
8 1000, 900. A syndicate of capitalists
are ready to furnish money for the re-
funding on q basis Of 3.65 per cent, pro-
| vided that the new bonds shall be made
payable. principal and interest, in gold.
The trustees are about to accept the
offer Of the syndicate when certain citi'
zens pray for an injunction in restraint
Of obligation to pay in gold only. The
Common Pleas Court rules that the trus'
tees are empowered to enter into such
obligation; the plaintiffs appeal to the
Circuit Court and the decree in Common
Pleas is overruled. The trustees now
appeal to the Supreme Court, and by il
the ruling OF the Circuit Court is sus-
tanned. Thus. in so far as the highest
court Of Ohio can determine, IL 10 made
unlawful for 3 public body TO discrimin'
ate between silver and gold.

rae MEErINe NEXT MONDAY

In comparison with the zeal OF the
East on the subject of silver the Pacific
Coast has been quiet and apparently in
different. We have been too much a
gagged in the formation Of new enter
prises TO devote much time to political
questions. It must not be assumed.
however, that because little in the way
Of agitation Of the subject has been I'm.
dertsken here, that our people are really
Indifferent TO the issue or without inter-
est in the controversy. Our silence has
been due mainly to the fact that there
has been nothing 10 bring out an express
sion Of public opinion. This condition OF
affairs will soon be changed. Beginning
on Monday next, we arctic have q Bimetal-
lie Convention in San Francisco, and there
is every reason to believe il will prove n
of the most important assemblies Of the
year.
Interest lie already widely taken in the
convention. The committee In charge
are assured Of the attendance Of men OF
eminence from oil sections Of the Pacific
Coast. Bimetallic Leagues are being or
ganized throughout the State in order
that delegates itly representative OF the
people may be elected to the convention
and the nucleus formed Of Q permanent
organization. Every prospect, therefore,
promises something Of important accom-.
plishment by the meeting and the
achievement Of results that will have .
wide influence on the politics NOT only
OF the Coast, but Of the Nation.
With the meeting Of the convention
we may expect the beginning Of q more
active campaign Of education in the in.
terest Of general bimetallism than we
have heretofore had on this Coast. In
some respects such q campaign is hardly
needed, for II seems certain that the
great majority Of our people are in favor
Of 3 return to the money Of the Consti-
tuition. Nevertheless, il is NOT advisable
to rely too much upon that assurance

A eREAT

II. II. Holmes is without doubt the
greatest criminal Of the age. Some ten
years ago be went TO Englswood-now .
part Of ChicseO-snd opened . drug
store. Soon be built . three-story brick
building on the corner OF Wallace and
sixty-third streets, opposite the West.
ern Indiana railroad station. The build
ing was q long time going up. and was
built Q little ct . time, as Holmes got .
dollar or found credit for work or mate
rial. This building is wonderfully con-
structed. II contains secret rooms, blind
staircases, hidden trap doors, panel en-
frances and q cellar that is unlighted BY
a single window. In the light Of recent
developments il would seem that the
building was ~purposely constructed TO
aid in safely committing crime. Holmes
early developed into q robust swindler.
He tapped the gas main. and conducted
the gas through a pretended gas mschiDe,
claiming that it was manufactured BY q
patent process and at nominal cost.
Among those swindled by this scheme
was H. II. HsaG, Of dehorniDg fame, and
the gas company which paid Holmes
AZ, 500 for his alleged secret OF making
cheap gas, which he was, in fact, steal
ing from the company he %swindled.
Then he pretended to bore an a~rtesian
we'll in his cellar and was doing . thriv-
ing business 10 selling a~rtesian well water
from his soda fountain at five cents per
glass. II is scarcely necessary TO say
that he never bored q well and the water
was simply lake water. In bis business
transactions he defrauded nearly every
body with whom he came in business
contact; and now il begins to look as 1t
he murdered nearly everybody with
whom he came in contact, ct least every
woman and child. There are now mint
people-one man, four women and four
children-who are not to be found on top
OF the earth, and who, practically, were
last known to be with Holmes. Parts OF
two skeletons have been dug up in the
cellar Of bis Chicago building, and the
bodies of two children have been found
in the cellar Of a house that he occupied
in Toronto. He seems 10 be a veritsble
male Borgia.

BLAND AT HUNTSVILLE.

On the Sd instant, OF Huntsville, Mis-
souri,, Congressman Hall and ex-Con-
gresham Bland had q very interesting
debate on the silver question. MIR.
Bland completely overwhelmed his oppo.
nent on every point advanced by Hall.
Bland, in reply to the argument that the
United States had a much larger per
capita circulation than any Of the silver
countries, quoted from the statistics
furnished by Mulhall, the Euglish stats.
s%ician, as to the productive power Of the
people OF the United States as compared
with other countries. The productive
power of one American was equal to that
Of ten Mexicans or fifteen Cinnamon. II
the United States produced more II
would have q larger per capita circula-
sion. Otherwise the property would get
into the hands Of the bondholders.
"They tell u.s." said Mr.. Bland, "that
II 81, 200. 900 in silver coin were melted
into bullion, il would be worth only
$500, 900. They call that . knock-down
argument. The man who makes that
kind Of argument ought to be knocked
down. No less . distinguished states
man than the Secretary Of Agriculture
has told us that money ought to be tested
by fire. II I had my way l would FIRE
both him and his chief, the President Of
the United States. Silver cannot be con.
verified back into money. as can gold. be-
cause you can take gold back to the
Treasury and have ii coined again. but
silver is denied that privilege"
