Not the least interesting feature of the
strange story about the discovery of a
mountain of gold in wild and inaccessible
district of Australia was the helpless and
desperate condition in which the discov
erers found themselves after their supply
of provisions had been stolen by the
tives. The latter probably had no use for
gold except in the way of rude ornaments
and had no idea of its commercial value,
but. they We're in a state of chronic hun
ger and had instructive appreciation of
the value of food. So they permitted the
prospectors to load themselves down with
gold while they looted the white mems
camp and made way with their provisions.
This left the discoyerers rich in gold, but
deprived of what is far more essential 10
life. They were in a region where thou
sand pounds of the precious metal would
not buy a square meal, and without food
they could neither accumulate more gold
nor get out of the country with what they
hail. Their experience was calculated to
demonstrate that there are times when a
sack of beans and few handfuls of salt
are worth more than mountain of gold.

There is room for a difference of opin-
ion as to the construction of Section
of the Nicholson law which may re-
quire the court to decide. Following is
the section:
All persons holding license issued under
the law of the State of Indiana authorizing
the sale of spirituous. vinous, malt or other
quart at a time shall provide for the sale
OF such liquors in room separate from any
other business of any kind and no devices
for amusement or music of any kind or.
character. or partitions Of any kind shall be
permitted in such room, provided that moth
ing in the provisions of this act shall be
construed to forbid the sale of cigars and
tobacco in such places of business and pro-
vided further that if such applicant for
license desires to carry on any other diff
ferent business he shall state the same in
his application for license and the same may
be granted or refused by the board of COM
missioners hearing such application, and
such permission shall be stated in the
license, if granted
This section does not interfere with
the sale of cigars and tobacco in saloons
nor require any special license therefor,
While it leaves it optional with county
commissioners TO grant or refuse per-
mission to carry on any other business
in the same room. 1t is explicit, how
ever, that mo devices for amusement
or music of any kind or character shall
be permitted in such room. Under
these provisions the question may arise
whether billiard and pool tables are to
be classed as business or as devices
for amusement. If the former they may,
by special license, be permitted in con-
nection with saloons. but if they are
devices for amusement they cannot be.
There is a chance here for some fine
judicial hair splitting

was explaining to his interested audience
that the human throat contained two tubes

a Pathetic story.

On a pleasant day last autumn a little
tot of boy was standing on the dock
looking out over the water toward the Ca

He was so quiet and sad-eyed that
good-natured man, who saw him there,
came up to speak to him. Before he had
a chance for that, however the boy had
spoken to him.

asked with Il faint tremor in his voice.

"Well, that's the river, isn't it?" asked
the boy with a stubborn kind Of persis-
tence which the mans laugh had not af-
fected in the least.
YES, that's the river. There amt any
mistake about that"
Then" said the boy firmly, that's
heaven over there"
The man looked at him curiously
What makes you say that2" inquired
the man. with a smile of announcement.
Because" and the boys lip trembled
and his eyes were moist, Mamma went

Then the man sat down and took the
boy on his knee and they talked together

There can be no reasonable objection
to the resolution Senator Wolcott offered
in the Senate on Saturday. as an amend
ment 10 the sundry civil bill. providing
for the appointment Of a commission to
take part in any conference that may be
agreed upon by other countries for the
purpose Of fixing ratio between gold and
silver at which there shall be free coin
age or silver. In offering the resolution
Mr. Wolcott said he was anxious for the
United States TO try free silver coinage
alone. but that he and other silverites
were ready TO join any movement look
ing 10 free silver coinage by International
agreement. Il IS probable that ne sees there
is very little prospect OF free silver coinage
fin tEfs country without international
agreement. and therefore is willing 10
do what he can 10 bring about an inter-
national agreement The cause Of silver
is not as popular in this country as it
was a few years ago. Tho more the peo-
pie study the silver question the more
clearly they see what a great mistake
this country would make If it were to
undertake the free coinage Of silver
alone. But il all the great commercial
nations should agree TO open their minis
to the unlimited coinage Of silver no
great harm would result to any one
country.
There is a very strong feeling in Ger
many in favor of calling a silver confer
ence, and in England and France BE
cause Of silver is gaining friends. but no
one Of these countries would think of com
hitting the folly Of acting alone in the
matter.
1t viii be a long time, however. be-
fore there is an International agreement
in respect TO silver. It may be delayed
so long that there will be no demand for
it. The gap between gold and silver coin
is now wide. but there is every reason
to think that it viii steadily grow smaller.
1t was brought about by the enormous
production of silver. Silver production
is now falling of and the production Of
gold is increasing greatly. If this condi-
ton Of affairs should continue for a few
years the bullion value of a silver dollar
would be about equal to the bullion value
of gold dollar. The silver question would
then cease to be an issue.

Pat is a delightful fellow when he is
natural, says Harper's Young People The
curious things the 1rlshmen say, and
which are called bulls, have excited a
great deal Of merriment in the world. The
latest instance of the bull that we have
encountered is the viii of a deceased resi-
dent of Dublin, which reads as follows:
Il give and bequeath to my beloved wife,
Bridget, the whole of my property with
out reserve; and to my eldest son, Pat
rick, one-haIf of the remainder; and to
Dennis, my youngest son, the rest If
anything is left it may go, together with
the old cart, without wheels, to my sin
cere friend Terence Mccarthy, in sweet
Ireland"
Another amusing bull was that of a
certain Paddy Murphy who, with a num-
Der of others, was discussing what they
would do in case they were shipwrecked
far out at sea without even a plank 10 get
ashore on. After the others had told what
they would do Paddy's turn came.
You're selfish lot" he said ''Yed
all be afther savin' yourselves an not saw
in any of the others Ord do it different.
Ord shwim ashore an save miself first
an thin old shwim out again and save
the rest of yez.

The course adopted by the mayor IN re-
spect to the request that the permit
granted the Ex-Priest slattery 10 lee
ture in the city he cancelled is the right
one. 1t IS. in fact. the only one that he
could properly adopt. He says that he
will have a force Of police In the lecture
hall. and that he viii not permit lam
guage that would likely provoke a dis
turbance Of the peace At the same time
he VIII not interfere with the lecturer
as long as he confines himself to legit-
innate discussion OF his subject.
We agree with the mayor that attempts
20 prevent the delivery Of the lecture
have the effect Of advertising Mr.. Stat
terry and bringing about the very object
he has in view. namely, a big audinece.
our understanding of the matter is that
Mr. slattery is lecturing for the money
he can make. Naturally. therefore. he
welcomes all the excitement that can be
stirred up in connection with himself.
The greater the curiosity aroused in re-
spect to him the mere abundant his har-
vest will be.
=
have no sympathy with him is to let
him severely alone Had it not been for
the attempt to prevent him from deliv-
ering his lecture it is probable that he
would have come and gone without
attracting much attention or carrying
many OF our dollars with him.
Ii is not at all probable that anything he
may say will influence one way or another
the opinion of anybody whose opinion
is worth anything. and the chances are.
as we have already stated. that what he
is after is money. He knows very well
that nothing he can say will affect in the
least the church which he is understood
to be attacking.
II somebody should come to this town
and announce his intention of attacking
the Jewish religion, or the Methodist or
Baptist or other Protestant church. we
doubt if anybody would take the trouble
to try to prevent him. If anybody desired
to hear him he would DO so, and that
would be the end of it, We feel sure that
no very considerable number of Catholics
are bothering themselves about Ex-Priest
Slattery They know he can do the
Catholic church no harm. There should
therefore be no attempt to interfere with
him. Let him say his say and go his
way. Don't let him have the satisfaction
of feeling that he is of so much import
ance that he was not allowed to make a
public address in this city. A disturb
ance here on his account would be a big
advertisement for him elsewhere. And
what would be gained by it by those who
are opposing him here?

Four million gallons of native wine

Consumers of California wines on this

for this wine. 1t seems that after making
liberal allowances for bottling transpor-

pays, there might be money in stretching
