Practical Free Coinage.

The St. Louis Republic, whiol
strenuously advocates the free coin
age of silver, in reply to an inqniry
"How the Republic would take the
country from gold monometallism ant
keep it from silver monometallism,
says:
The United States Government
should carry into effect that reform
just as a wise Government would
carry into effect any reform. II
should consider we'll all the rights and
al the interests involved and make
the change with only the minimum of
disturbance to the vast business Or
ganization which penetrates every
where, and upon whose steady activ-
ity the material welfare of every cit
izen depends.
I'VE think that the course marked
out by the familiar precepts of public
and private conduct is too pain for
any question. Congress should at
once amend the coinage laws by add
inga provision that on and after "a
fixed date the mints of the United
States will be open to the free coin
age of gold and silver. The time al
lowed should be no more than is nee
essary for the purposes of prudence.
1t might be eighteen months.
In the same act of Congress there
should be a. provision instructing the
President to notify all other nations
and to invite their cooperation.
Congress should also provide for a
thorough investigation of the factors
which determine the relations of the
metals.
At some period several months in
advance of the date fixed for OPEN
ing the mints, Congress should pro-
ceed, having ascertained whether any
other nations will cooperate and hav-
ing gathered information on the means
by which bimetallic coinage can be
established, to declare the weights of
The coins and thus fix ratio approx
mating what may be expected to re-
main the commercial ratio of the two
metals.
There is neither uncertainty nor
about this course. 1t is sim
lar to the plan any competent buis-
hess man would pursue in establish
ng change affecting every corner of
lis system of purchases, sales and
,redits. 1t is identical with the
course which every nation guided by
statesmen has taken In ordering re-
adjustments of such far reaching con-
equences. A date would be fixed
or opening the mints, whether other
lations agreed or not. Time would
'e given for arriving al a correct
Judgement and for the adjustment of
BUSINESS.
If Congress could find reasonable
rourd for believing that we could
dopt ratio of 16 to | and at the
anne time, as Mr.. Bland once put it,
have regard for the exchange of COM
1ercial ratio ofthe two metals" The
iepublic would be we'll pleased. If
he Latin Union, Germany, Austria
nd India would join us, it is possible
nat the old Latin Union ratio of 1555
, l might be adopted for all.
Populists who listen to nothing
hich has not the promise of fiat and
le silver mine barons who are play
lg for another Sherman act make
nift by which bullion will be bought
nd withdrawn from use, would not
cquiesce IN such plan But we
re disposed to believe that every
ncere Democratic friend of
liver has already thought out in his :
wn mind something very much like
lis method, which is good business,
BOD politics, good craftsmanship and
ood common sense.

The Captain of n Fishing Schooner

From the BOSTON Herald.
Capt. Manuel Cation of the Adams fishing
schooner Sea Fox, just in from the Georges
fishing banks tells thrilling story of his
adventures in the last gale and snow

the worst part of the gale he ordered the
crew to set the mainsail, to work her away
from dangerous shoals to leeward.

the fourteen-year-od son of John Small, a

Some of That Pc rtfon OF the Line to

From the Gentleman's Magazine.
One thing which fisherman who knows

Slkworms, 1t would appear, not only
contribute the silk that goes to the con-
stitution of the ordinary line. but their in
testines are manipulated in the manufacture
of that portion of the line to which the hook

pressing the number Of silkworms annually
destroyed for gutmaking l found to be al
most incredible. In one mandatory alone
from 6,00.00O to 100000 strands of gut are
used ernually-each strand representing a
silkworm.
Holding a hank of gut in my hand, I was

strands were drawn were raised in Spanish

leaves at regular intervals; between the
periods of feeding they sleep.
This goes on for three weeks when full
growth is attained; then they are collected
into buckets of diluted suphuric acid, which
kills them instantly and hardens their skins.
Sold by weight to gutmakers they are quick

This is Il Dog Story.

FROM the Covington, Ca, Enterprise.
We are told that mad dog made its ap-
pearance near Almon one day last week,
and Mr.. John Holder was sent after to
shoot it, being one of the best shots in that
section. When Mr.. Holder hove in sight
the dog made a dash for him, but he
quickly fired. tearing half of the dogs
head off. In a moment the dog recovered
and again tried to get to Mr.. Holder, who
fired the other barrel of his gun, tearing
the other half of the dogs head off.
Headless though he was, the dog again
started toward Mr. Holder, who broke the
stock of his gun over the brute's back
About this time a negro ran up with an
AK and cut the dog half in two. To the
establishment of Mr.. Holder and others
present, one half Of the dog started up
the road toward Conyers, while the other
half jumped in ditch and made off in the
direction of Salem camp ground.
