THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message was
read before both Houses Of Congress on
Monday last. 1t is . voluminous docu-
msnt, taking up no less than ten col
umns Of space in the large daily news
papers. The message leaves the general
affairs Of the country to be learned from
the reports Of the various Cabinet OH
GERS and directs attention mainly to our
foreign relations and questions OF finance.
The vigorous foreign policy" which was
asserted by the friends Of the Admins
tration would be advocated by the Presi-
dent, 10 very tame.
Regarding financial matters, his recon.
msndations contain nothing new nor
different from the policy which he has
been advocating all along. He urges the
retirement Of greenbacks and Sherman
notes, opposes the free coinage Of silver,
and advises the issue Of bonds, OF both
large and small denominations, to run
thirty years, as q means Of Withdrawing
all forms Of Government notes, and viz
tualIy turning over to the national banks
the financial control Of the country by
preparing q foundation for the issue OF
national bank notes. The message as .
whole is . very weak document, and
falls far short of what was expected from
the President with the material he had
at hand for the construction Of an able
state paper.

After q fve.hour discussion Of the
financial issues the Transmississippi Con.
gress, in session at Omaha, Neb.. de-
clared for the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver at a ratio Of l6 to l basis. The
vote was so for gold and l27 for silver. Hon.

metal and Hon. J. L. Webster Of Omaha
the opposition. The debate was spirited
and was participated in by most OF the
delegates. This resolution was finally
adopted:
Whereas, An sppreciating money

rupts enterprises, makes idle money
profitable by increasing its purchasing
power and suspends the productive force
of our people; and
Whereas, The spoilation consequent

Among the natural wonders OF the
Southwestern States Of America, says
the PendIeton East O~regonian, are the
Soperstitious Mountains. which loom mp
from the arid desert to the east OF the
Salt River Valley. These mountains are
so curious that, as long IS Arizona has
been settled, the Indians would have
nothing to do with them. In conse-
qusnce they are full Of deer, ibex. bear
and other big game. The Superstitious
Mountains rise out Of the level surface
Of the desert like the pyramids Of Egypt.
On the crest Of this unique range, and
in full view Of the rsre6ed atmosphere
for an immense distance from the plain,
are hundreds Of queer figures, represent
ing men in all attitudes. When you look
first you are sure they are men, and
when you turn your gaze again to them
you are as absolutely certain OF 10 as you
can be Of anything.
They represent ball throwers, put
looks, mere viewers Of the country
roundabout, men recumbent and contem-
plate, others starting on q foot race, and
in every conceivable posture and position.
They are not real flesh and blood men,
however-nothing bat stone sienite-yet
nothing can convince the Indians n
some white men that they are not genu-
inc. They say they are real mortals
turned to stone. petri6ed BY the pecu'
liar condition Of the air on the noun.

This belief has grown out Of an Apache
legend handed down for hundreds OF
years. They have il that an ancient
chief, who had learned of the curious
character of the Superstitious Noun

A TRIBUTE TO SENATOR JONES.

We find the following in the Chicago
Express, written by n Of its CORE
spondents, regarding Senator John z.
Jones of this State:
The great and glorious Senator Jones
Of Nevada is right-what the country
needs is more greenbacks. Having had
many talks with him / found him the
most marvellous man Of the age. In
economic analysis and knowledge Of
finance he towers above them all like an
archangel. II he had been born in the
time Of Shakespeare and the poets he
would have been among the greatest Of
those who met at the Memorial Inn"
Had he been born in the revolution he
would have been the peer Of Thomas
Jefferson and Thomas Paine. No man
regards the diabolical schemes of tie
gold trust to e~nslave the American peo-
pie with more indignation than he. He
il . prophet and foresees the result.
''If the people understood this deep and
diabolicsl scheme of the gold bugs" he
said to me. "they would rise in revolu'
tion to-morrow. / found at the Brus-
sells Conference that the European brig
ands, as I called them, did not wish the
gold basis so much as gold prices. l said
to them; Gentlemen, we need q new
dispensation." Great and glorious Sen
atori You have . great heart like thai
Of the compassionate Nazarene and . ire
msndous power Of intellect. You are an
intellectual giant-the Magnus Apollo
and Hyperion sun-god Of the Senate.

According TO the London Economist,
the decline in the Ksfir gold market
valuation from the 6rst part Of Septem-
Der to November 18th was from sl,076.-
s63, 100 to $7I7, 1914. l25. q fall Of $685.
SOS, 995, or about 80 l.3 per cent in 60
days. The fall shows how the crowd in
Great Britain must have been engaging
in wild speculation. The par value OF
the stock was $3.50. O0o, 900. 1t was un-
loaded at four times its face value by .
mining excitement. 1t is said that the
output Of some Of the mines, not resliz-
ing the e~xtravsgant expectations Of some
Of the spectators, is one Of the reasons
for the awful slump in the stocks. The
truth is that they fell because they were
carried to Q point where men could no
longer make settlements. There was not
money enough in England to do it with.
We have seen the same thing on this
Coast over and over again. 1t was par
ticularly noticeable in the old days when
the Comstock stocks made the Coast
crazy. When the Con. Virginia and
the Californis mines were each paying
dividends Of 81, 900. 900 a month, every
stock for two miles around was jumped
up to a crazy figure simply out Of sym.
patty. 1t was q case first Of hilarity in
the head because Of something in the
stomach, and later q case Of exceeding
nervous headache because the stomach
had been overworked. And still South
Africa is yielding very well and will
stand . fair boom.-Salt Lake Tribune.

A ~REMARKABLE CLOCK.

Machinery is a monthly journal pub
lished at johannesburg, South Africa. In
the October number just received is an
account Of q most remarkable clock be-
longing to q Hindu prince, which the ed.
itor thinks the strangest piece OF ma
chinery in India. Near the dial OF an
ordinary-looking clock is q large gong
hung on poles, while underneath, scat
tered on the ground, is q pile Of arti6-
cial human skulls. ribs, legs and arms.
the whole number of bones in the pile
being equal to the number of bones in
twelve human skeletons. When the
hands OF the clock indicate the hour OF
|, the number Of bones needed to form o
complete human skeleton come together
with q snap; by some mechanical contriv-
ance the skeleton springs up, seizes q
mallet, and walking up to the gong,
strikes one blow. This finished, ii re-
turns to the pile and again falls to
pieces. When 2 o'clock. two skeletons
get up, and strike. while at the hours Of
noon and midnight the entire heap
springs up in the shape Of twelve skele-
tons, and strikes, each one after the
other, a blow OF the gong, and then fall
TO pieces, as before. Scientific American,

So it goesi In one campaign the Re;
publicans pose as the friends OF silver; in
the next the Democrats. The ball is
tossed back and forth from one to the
other. The people elect Democrats to
punish the perpetrators OF the crime OF
1873. The Democrats so elected take up
the unfinished work Of the elected GRIM
mails and complete it, by closing the
mints to silver, and by indorsing the gold
standard policy Of Cleveland. Then the
people turn once more to the Republic
cans, hoping for relief from the very
criminals who began the conspiracy
against the peoples money. And the
Republicans are barely in the saddle be-
fore they show that the gold policy is to
be their permanet rule Of action. Where

pleted the Republican crime by closing

There is nothing more certain than
this: II the free silver issue is left to
the two old parties, to be tossed back

standard is here to stay. Democrats,
out Of office, favor free silver-to get into
office on. Once in. free silver is heard oil
no more. Republicans, out of office, ia

take up the gold policy where the Dem
