coin, to this and nothing else.
Suppose that in view of the in
creased production of gold in the
Transvail, the United States, Eng
land, France and Germany should
decide to limit the coinage of gold
to some hundred thousands of dollars
IA day, bo1ght and coined on govern
ment account, what would happen?
Would the value of gold bullion in
gold coin still equal as IL commod-
ity the value Of the coins? Ger
talnlv not. The owner of gold bull
lion having no longer the right to
convert his bullion into coin, and de-
string to realize on his bullion, must
seek a purchaser. Buta purchaser
for the bullion at par with coin can
not be found, for the purchaser must
be recompansed for the delays and
RISKS he assumes in purchasing the
bullion. Immediately all gold bull
lion would become simply merchan
disc with a ~fiuctuating aad specula-
tive value measured by the gold
coins in circulation, depending
on three circumstances: First, the
production of gold; second, the ex-
tent of the limited quantity of gold
accepted by the minis for coinage
and third, the demand for use in the
arts. The supply the de-
mand for coinage, the excess would
press for sale on the bullion market.
and to the extent that this supply
exceeded the demand for use in the
arts, the price of bullion would fall.
This is what has happened to sill
yer. Its market has ceen curtailed
while the demand for gold las been
broadened. The only wonder is that
silver has maintained its value as
it has. The demand for silver in the
East has been almost, if not quite
sufficient to maintain its value. not
Of course in relation to gold, but
compared to other commodities. 1t
is not 50 much silver that has de-
preclated, for, measured in anything
else than gold, silver has fallen very
little, as it is gold that has appre-
ciated.-Wharton Barker's Ameri-
can.

AT THE SPRINGS.

From the News:
Miss Curtis, county superintendent Of

Neihart is agitating the municipal
ownership Of the water system. White

done to save the town.

pressed himself as much pleased with
his visit here and intends to return next
year.
VIM. S. Jcnning, deputy sheriff at
Neihart, paid this office u pleasant call
on Tuesday. He was a witness at this

county commissioners in cutting down
his bill for that service. lie claims that

LINGUISTIC TRANSPORTATION,

Webster has had his day. Several
thousand words have been recently
added to conversational and tcchni-
cal language which The great loxi-
cographer never knew. ',TrolIey, kin
etoscope, microbc, b~achteria, dude,'
and many hundreds of such words
all of which the public readily know
and use, have recently been either
coined for a peculiar purpose or have
been given new and enlarged uses
which were not understood twenty
years ago. Old Noah's book viii
still stand as authority in some rural
districts, and will be preserved in
the great libraries as a remarkably
accurate and valuable book Of It's
time, IA sort Of literary landmark
set up for the guidance Of IA genera
ton departed. But the government
officials and leading institutes Of
learning have declared that the old
linguist is no longer sin it," They
have set up ii our-yoIumed, forty
pound aggregation Of modern verbal
lore, known as the Standard Ency-
~clop@dic dictionary, and everybody
now must worship at its shrine.
Webster's bones have been consign-
ed to dust and the devoted work of
his life has stood but Il few years.

WHO is MISTER
JONES?

The effect of the recent rise OF
freight rates.on all transcontinental
lines is the topic Of considerable
popular discussion. 1t is doubtful
if, except in some lines, the volume
of traffic will be changed by the in
creased tariff. Generally speaking,
the increase will accrue as profit to
the carrying company, swelling its
total receipts by probably twenty
per cent over former figures. The
question arises, "NNho pays the
freight" or who will be the Jones
in the transaction: Shippers Of
western products east will feel that
they must still receive their custom
AIRY commissions. Whereas the east
ern market remains the same, the
producer must lower his price in or
der to reach the eastern market.
Here we have the Jones'. He is the
farmer, the woolgrower, the cattle
raiser, the manufacturer, the pro
ducer of whatever kind or class of
goods the west supplies. He is the
sucker in the game; the victim in
the race; the bewhiskered, credulous,
and d~efenseless Uncle Reuben in
the play. "And Jones, he pays the
freight"
How about the east end Of the line?
Somebody pays the freight on all
the general merchandise, provisions,
hardware and implements that come
from the east. Is it the shipper:
O, no. Is it the wholesale jobbcr:
q, no. Is it the retail dealer, or the
western agent: No. 1t is the in
dividuaI consumer, whoever he be.
1t is the class which makes up the
bulk of the western population. 1t
is the miner, the laborer, the farmer
the artisan, he is the Jones, the pat
lent ass who bears the gold.
The increase Of rates IS not con-
siderable. Bnt added to the other
taxes incidentally imposed to build

Meredith Crow, a man of some prom

pardoned and released from prison to-
day by President Cleveland after ten
years of patient effort on the part Of
Crows friends to secure his release.
Crow was map Of good character and
great bravery. and "the story of his
life reads like one of Bret Harte's ro-
lnanc, s." according to letter written
TO the President by one of Crows
friends. Crow killed desperate in
the Indian Territory ten years ago. He
was convicted Of murder and sentenced
20 hang, but on April 20, 1856. Mr..
Cleveland committed the sentence to
imprisonment for life. On October 81.

sentence to ten years actual imprison-
ment. 10 granting the pardon,
President Cleveland says: 'In view
of all the facts in the case and
the circumstances connected with
the homicide, and considering the
manly behavior Of the prisoner
at ali times since and his exemplary
conduct in prison, I think he now
deserves remission of the remainder
