LEGISLATION AND PRICES.
Laws Of Trade More Powerful Than the
Lava of Nations.

Laws Of Nations.
The Iowa Democrats on Aug. de-
clared against free coinage Of silver at
16 to by an overwhelming majority.
The following is short quotation from
the speech Of Hon. Nathaniel French,
chairman Of the convention:
cat what ratio shall we coin the
metals so that a dollar Of one will equal
q dollar of the other in intrinsic and
exchangeable value? When we want to
know how much things are worth, we
go to the markets and find out. We
don't hunt up congressman to ask the
value Of eggs or spring chickens or grain
or anything else, or if congress has de-
clared what their value shall be. We
know that the mere declaration Of con-
gress, or even q constitutional amend
ment, could not FIX the price Of single
egg In like manner. if we want to know
how many ounces Of silver an ounce Of
gold is worth, we must go to the bull
lion markets instead Of the revised
statutes. Thomas Jefferson could not
have won undying fame as statesman
and leader Of the common people if he
had not been endowed with an abun-
dance Of common sense, and over 100
years ago, when congress sought his adj
vice as to the ratio to adopt for the
coinage Of gold and silver, he said
Disregard legal proportions altogether.
Inquire into the market price. He
knew that opinions should not and
could not be controlled by legislation.
He knew that the basic laws Of trade
were more powerful than the laws Of
nations and that the multiplication
table could not be altered by statute.
ITO so coin gold and silver that both
shall circulate together by reason Of
parity of value we must follow Jeffer-
sons advice and inquire the price Of
gold and silver in the markets Of the
world. If we find one ounce Of gold will
buy 80 ounces Of silver, that is the ratio
to adopt. To put in the silver dollar
more than 80 grains Of silver for each
grain Of gold in the gold dollar would
at once drive our silver money from cir
culation, and to put in less would BAN
ish our gold. The loss Of either would
be q misfortune, and to retain both we
must adopt the mercantile ratio, putting
In our coins no more and no less than is
needed to make one Of equal value to
the other"

The singular Rock Formation on the Aus.
traliau Coast.
One Of the most pleasant as well a.
famous tourist resorts in New South
Wales is situated on the coast some 20
miles south Of Sydney. The center Of
this district is Kama, a picturesque
and thriving town surrounded BY rich
agricultural country, and which has
been built upon an old igneous flow Of
basalt that has solidified and crystal
Ezed into huge columns Of what is pop.
alarly called "bluestone. This forma.
ton is seen to perfection on the west
coast Of Scotland and north Of Ireland
at st. Fingal's cave and other places.
and those who are acquainted with the
rugged appearance Of the coast in these
places can form good idea Of the ap-
pearance Of the New South Wales coast
at this point. Kama, unlike other tour.
list resorts, can be thoroughly enjoyed
in either fair or stormy weather, and
those who visit the town when q good
gale is blowing have an opportunity Of
witnessing a sight the like Of which
does not exist elsewhere on our globe,
The famous "Blowhole' here situated.
In the middle of rocky headland run
ming out into the sea, forms truly won
drous sight. With each successive break
er the ocean spray is sent shooting up
into the air sometimes as high as from
300 to 400 feet, descending in a drench.
ing shower and accompanied by rum.
bling noise as Of distant thunder, which
can be heard for many miles around.
This "Blowhole" is a singular nat
uraI phenomenon, and consists of per.
pendicular hole. nearly circular, with q
diameter of about ten yards across, and
has the appearance Of being the crater
OF an extinct volcano. This is connected
with the ocean by cave about 100 wards
IN length, the seward opening Of which
is in all respects similar to st. Fingal's
cave on the west coast of Scotland, the
same perpendicular basaltic columns
forming the side walls of each. Into
this cave towering waves rush during
stormy weather, and as the cave extends
some distance farther into the rock than
the "Blowhole, on the entrance Of
each wave this cavity becomes full Of
compressed air, which, when the tension
becomes too great, blows the water with
stupendous force up to the perpendicu.

Land within Corporate Limits Not Sub
ject to Homestead Entry.
OLYMPIA, WASH, February 6.-The
local land Office has lately rendered q
decis ion in the case OF w. B. Hanna ct
al. VS.. the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, concerning valuable tract
Of eigh ty acres OF land in what is known
s.s Pres colts Second Addition and Pres
cott's Park Addition, located within the
city linlits of Tacoma. This land was
excepted from grant to the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company by reason oil
the fact that the tract was embraced in
the prescription made by Thomas Bigg
and filed III 1867, but deserted by him.
Hanna otfe red homestead application
for the land in 1887, alleging no prior
claim except by Biggs. Hanna's home
stead applit alton was rejected, from
which decision he appealed to the pub
lie commissioners, who affirmed the de-
cision of the B.egister and Receiver. An
appeal was thtsn taken to the Secretary
oil the Interior, and the decision OF Jan.
uary 2S, 1888, affirmed. Hanna claimed
that at the time he made his homestead
application there was no one living or
the land, and states he had the land
surveyed and considerable work done
upon it. But the local Office decides
that under the law:
LAND included within the limits o
any incorporated town cannot be enter
ed upon under the hRmestead law"
Albert L. MAXWELL and Charles IL
Prescott, respectively, made application
to purchase under the act of March 8
1887, and both having purchased iron
the Northern Pacific railroad the ioca
land Office recommends that they b'
allowed to complete their entry and per
feet their titles, and shat all othe
claims to the land in controversy be re
iected

the most savage battle ever recorded in
this section. g.. Leachman, a we'll

young man, comparatively a stranger,
met in the road, when McElroy chal-
lenged Leachman to fight. After handy
ing epithets, McElroy made rush for
Leachman, who held in his hands a
double barrelled shotgun, which he
broke over the formers head, but the
blow did not bring the man down. He
clinched Leachman, and the two men
fought like beasts for an hour. After
they had both been knocked down on
the hard frozen ground many times,
Leachman cried enough" and then
his assailant stepped back and tried to
get gun out Of the hands OF Leach
mans son, but was prevented by the
interference OF bystanders, who helped
the boy to resist the efforts OF his faith
er's antagonist. After twenty minutes
McElroy tainted away from the effects
of the. terrible blow over the head.
Since that time he has been unconscious.
Doctors say his case is serious. Leach
man is under arrest.
