FOR FREE COINAGE.

We publish elsewhere a commune
cation from Gen. Standish, of North
Dakota, arguing in favor of o:the.
free coinage of silver by the United
1. In form it is a reply to. certain
comments made by the Minneapolis
Tribune. With the controversies of.
the Tribune the G. o b e has moth
ing to do, save on those pleasant
occasions when it is itself a party,
to them. It will therefore simply
say, in this instance, that while most
if not all of the positions taken
and the statements made by Gen.
Standish are open, in our opihionI
to correction and attack, yet as
his letter is both well written5 and
sincerely written it is entitled to
a place in the columns of the G O b e,
which are open to all. We may
North Dakota are now beginning to
put an end to the free silver con-
troversy much more effectively than
any argument can do, and that the
marketing of this crop will probably
destroy many decisions about the
imaginary connection between mon
ey volume and the rise and fall of
prices.

EASILY CLEANED.

The city authorities seem now to
be in fair way to strike the correct
method of cleansing the asphalt
paved streets in the business district.
It is not a problem that should have
puzzled them greatly because our ex-
perience is not a novel one. The as
phalt pavement is not new, and the
experience of other communities is
a sufficient guide. 1t could have been
known well enough, without max
ing a trial of it, that sprinkling and
sweeping with wire brooms would
be about the worst possible method
of treatment for the smooth sur
face of the asphalt. They have no
trouble about it elsewhere Men fur
nished with iron scrapers, mounted
on wheels, and with brooms, gather up
the horse droppings and other refuse
during the day. At night, when
traffic has ceased, the surface of the
street can be washed clean with the
stream from hose. This is the meth
Cd which is employed generally
with asphalt pavements that are
kept in good condition, and it is what
we will adopt. The sweepers have
made their appearance on Sixth
street, and the city engineer has
been instructed by the assembly to
try washing the pavements. With
this method in force, asphalt is not
only the smoothest and least noisy
pavement, but it is the cleanest in
the world.

CAN RUN THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

The circular to the farmers which
appears in another column, asking
them to pledge themselves to hold
their wheat until it is worth a dollar
a bushel, recalls a similar perform
ance a few years ago. 1t is not the
sort of thing that is apt to strike
effectively twice in the same place.
Whenever any man or combination
of men takes the trouble to scatter
printed circulars over the country
advising the farmers about market
ing their grain, the first question
that souid suggest itself to shrewd
man is, Who pays the bills, and why
does he pay them? 1t costs some
thing to do the work; and that an
organization exists devoted to Civ
ing the farmer good advice, at its
own expense, out of pure love for
him, we are not yet prepared to be-
Heve.
It may be the best thing that the
farmer can do to hold his wheat as
long as possible after it is harvested.
1t may be the best thing for him
to sell lit just as quickly as he can
get it to market. We do not know.
Neither does any other man.
For if he did, he would not bother
himself about distributing circulars
Knowing the market in advance, he
would go forthwith into big specu-
lation in wheat and be a millionaire
before the end Of the year. The farm
er's own opinion about the best time
to sell is worth just as much as
anybody's else. But one thing we
do know; and that is that the man
who tells the farmer to borrow
money with which to pay his bills
in order that he may speculate in
wheat, and tells him that he can af-
ford to pay per cent a month, is
giving criminally bad advice, and
has some little game of his own 1t
is hard to tell what the price of
wheat will be; but it is mighty easy
to know what will be the fate of the
man who borrows money to bet on
its fluctuations. One attempt to get
the farmers to manipulate the mar
ket for the benefit of speculation was
made and failed. A second is still
less likely to succeed. One man is
better able to run the farmers bust
ness than anybody else, and that is
the farmer himself He will con-
suit his own necessities and use his
own judgment. He does not take
much stock in advisory circulars.
He has probably received several in
the past from other people strange
ly anxious to make his everlasting
fortune for him, and has the whole
lot sized up.

Railway business Card.

John E. NOLAN, stationer of the
Michigan Central, has devised new
idea in railroad postal card, which
has met the immediate approval of
the road. The card is the same size
and shape as the ordinary United
States postal card and bears on the
upper left hand corner the vignette of
the road. In the upper center, well up
toward the top, are the words: This
card is to be used for Michigan Cen
trail railroad business only and not az
d postal card and at the place where
the stamp is on regular card is the
inscription, Railroad business" It Is
believed that such a card will save
the Central a considerable amount of
money as the short matters that must
be written from one department to
another can be written on the card
and an envelope saved. 1t is also
thought it will supersede the telegraph
for brief message, in which there is
no need of rush.

AT THE THEATERS.

Two hours of laughter-provoking
absurdity in tuneful setting is
fairly descriptive of the character
of the comic opera Dorothy" pre-
scented by the Wilbur Opera COM
pany at the Metropolitan last even
ing to a good-sized and well-pleased
audience. The leading role of Dor
othy Bantam was taken by Miss
Hattie Richardson, and was we'll
sustained, as was also that of Lydia
Hawthorne by Miss Eloise Mortimer.
b. A. Clark made a good Harry Sher-
wood, and the character of Lurcher,
a sheriff's officer, afforded oppor-
tunity to w. H. Kohnle for the dis
play of his ability to make a funny
role doubly funny under his presen-
tatlon. The rest of the company
were UP to the demands of their
parts, and the performance was gen.
orally good. The music of the opera
is mostly in chorus of a rollicking,
hearty style, calculated to put an
audience in the best of humor, as it
did last night.
The living pictures are still one Of
the leading attractions of the bill,
and the audience remained to see
them to the end. There were many
new ones, and they were artistically
presented, the settings of several
being especially fine and elaborat tie.
Dorothy will be given at the mat
inee this afternoon. The bill for this
evening and Thursdays matinee
will be 1.-THE Mascotte.'

STRONG SPOKE STRONGLY.
New York1s Mayor Refuses to
EECaI Off, Roosevelt.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Mayor Strong
spoke strongly on the excise today. He
mad just returned to his office after
MS vacation in Richfeld Springs, and
round awaiting him a delegation of
citizens bearing a petition that he call
Commissioner Roosevelt off a. bit from
his enforcement of the Sunday closing
law. The petition said the enforce
ment Of the law was causing much
drunkenness in tenement houses. To
the delegation Mayor Strong said: ct
am sorry, but this will have to be
buried. You know our administration
was elected because Tammany had
been lax in enforcing the laws, espe- ,
c1ally the excise law. In fact, the
Lexow committee proceedings clearly
proved that the excise law had been
made, not for enforcement, but to bleed
the saloonkeepers. In its strict en-
Iorcement we are working for the sa-
loonkeepers' interest. The repeal of
the law can be brought about only by
enforcing it rigidly. OF course, you
know that [ like the saloonkeepers.
Ninety per cent of them are just as
good men as any other citizens They
have just as many rights as others,
and L am trying to get them their
rights. But you can't ask me to will
fully break the law. What we want to
get is local option, and 1 won't vote for
any man this fall who does not come
out in favor of it. Neither a> ould

BABIEss HOME CONCERT.
An Artistic as Well as Financial

The concert given at Ford's Music
hall last evening in aid of the Babies
home was a pronounced success, both
financially and in an artistic .>u1nt of
view. The audience numbered some AGO.
all the seats on the lower floor and
about half those in the balcony being
coupled. In addition to this, many tick
cts were purchased by citizens desir-
GUS of aiding a most deserving charity,
but who were unable to be present at
the concert.
The programme of the concert was
select and well arranged, the numbers
being rendered by some of the best
known and ablest musicians and vocal
lists Of the city. The piano sDIo by Miss
Louella Hughson and Prof Emil Ober-
Hoffer were very fine, as were also
the violin solos of Frank Seibert; Miss
Katherine Richards Gordon's magni-
ficent soprano was heard in seve, al
numbers, the "Morte di Margherita {"
being especially effective in its rendi-
ton. The rich baritone of Mr.. Drill
and Mr.. Courtney's fine tenor were
also heard to advantage in selected
solos, and in duet and trio with Miss
Gordon. The concert closed with the
beautiful trio from Verdi's Attila, e'Te
Sol Quest lAninla," given by Miss
Gordon and Messrs. Courtney and
Drill The concert will net several
hundred dollars for the home, and the
proceeds could not be better bestowed.

THE SUMNER SCHOOLS.
Attendance Is Lighter, but Exclu-
sively of Teachers.

Attendance Is Lighter, but Exclu-
sively of Teachers.
1t appears that the attendance at
the summer training schools this year.
though large, is not up to the average
of previous years. At least, that is the
result looked for from present indi-
cations by State Superintendent Prem
dergast.
The reason he gives for this is that
the attendance is now confined to
teachers, while heretofore high school
pupils and others, some of whom might
never teach school, were admitted to
the sessions. The attendance of teach
erS, however, is larger this year than
last.
The superintendent expresses the
belief that the restriction will tend to
the advantage of the schools rather
than otherwise, since teachers will work
with a professional cooperation which
could not be obtained in a mixed at
tendance. The ShortneSS of the time
allotted this year for enrolment at the
university training school will have
a. restrictive effect on the attend
ance there also. This year only the
first two days of the term were al
lowed for enrolment instead of the
four weeks of the term, as allowed
last year. This regulation was also
established with view to obtaining
better results in the training work by
obligating the members of the classes
to take the full course and get all the
benefit to be derived from the entire
programme of the session, which is of
itself quite short. Taken altogether,
much better results are looked for by
those in sharge of public education
from the summer school work of the
current year.

TROOPS REACH THE SCENE.
Alarm Spreading South and East
of JacksOn5s Hole

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 30.-A
private dispatch received from Mar
ket Lake tonight states that the
Ninth cavalry is now encamped in
Teton basin, near Marysvale. The
troops will not be moved into Jack
son Hole until the return of the In
dian police, who were sent ahead
to try to induce the Indians to re-.
turn to their reservations. The re-
ports from MarySvale show that the
excitement is dying out, and many
of the settlers are returning to their
homes. The news of the near ap-
proach of the troops has caused a
bitter feeling among the settlers.
The dispatch states that the set
tiers had arranged to make an att
tack on the Indian force, with the
Intention of driving them out of the
country, but after receiving the mes
sage from Gov. Richards advising
them to act only on the defensive
they have changed their minds. 1t
is claimed it will be necessary to
keep the troops in the field all sum-
mer, as the Indians can only be
held in check by the presence of the
soldiers.
Other advices Say the Indian scare is
spreading far to the south and east of
Jackson's Hole and settlers in Fremont
county are becoming alarmed. Gov.
richards tonight received the follow
ing from DR.. w. Lovejoy, of South
Pass, in the Miners Delight mining
district: There is a band of from 100
to 800 Indians within a half-day's ride
of this place. They are all bucks and
things look shaky here. We have
plenty of ammunition and men, but
need guns. Can you send a few stands
of arms?" Shortly after the receipt of
this the following was received from
Leadstone, in the same district: Gov.
William Richards: Can you send us
guns? Indians are near here
''E. A. DUSTIN"
The governor says the Indians, no
doubt are Utes from Duchesne, who
are hanging around in the hope that
there will be a big fight with the Ban
nocks, which will give them an oppor-
tunity to make an attack on the set
tiers and get back to their reservations
before the troops could interfere with
them. These settlements are about
thirty-five miles south of Lander and
the governor says he does not believe
they are in any danger unless there
should be a fight in Hoback valley He
referred the dispatches to r. D. Wood
ruff, of Rock Springs, inspector general
OF the state militia, with instructions
to use his discretion in the matter.

Could Not Endure the Cartoon.

Constable A. J. Scanlon of Scranton.
Pa, could not endure the ridicule at
tached to him by cartoon in a news
paper and he hurried himself out of
the world to avoid it. He shot himself
in the head and died In a few minutes.
He had attempted to kill Alexander
Dunn a short time previously and had
been arrested. This, with the news
paper cartoon, preyed a great deal on
his mind and doubtless turned his
head. A week or so ago Scanlon went
to Dunn's office to collect a bill. There
had been bad blood between the men
for some time and they had some
words. Scanlon was elected from the
office and drawing a revolver he fired
twice at Dunn, but missed him. Short
ly afterward he was arrested and the
grand jury found true bill against
him a few days ago. At this time a
newspaper printed a humorous cartoon
about Scanlon and it made such q hit
that the constable was made fun of
wherever he went. Even people who
did not know him made remarks as
he passed and all this so worried him
that yesterday morning he told friend
that he would get even with them all
and do something which would make
them sorry, and an hour afterward he
blew out his brains.

OMAHA DEEPLY AGITATED.
Trouble May Occur Tomorrow
Over the New Police Law.

trouble May Occur TOmOrPOyy
Over the New Police Law.
OMAHA, Neb., July 3O.-As the
first day of August approaches, the
day upon which the Churchill-Rus-
sell A. P. A. law goes into effect,
the interest in police matters be-
comes intensified among all classes
of citizens. Ever since the appoint
ment of Chief of Police White, of
the present board of fire and police
commissioners, and until last Sun
day, the opinion generally prevailed
that an armed conflict was almost
unavoidable if two rival police and
ire commissions were set up. The
indictments and police plotters have
been in almost constant conference
with the members of the radical ele-
ment of the A. P. A, of whom Judge
Scott is the head, and Attorney
Covell, a partner of Churchill, the
leading light. Nearly all of the twen-
ty-tWo policemen who were recently
dismissed by the present board have
been enrolled as q nucleus of the /
police force to be organized by the
new board, and they boast that all /
are armed. AS a part of the we'll
laid programme, it has been an
nounced that Judge Scott had not
adjourned his section of the district
court, and would be on hand to
issue any judicial order required for,
the plans of the new board. Yet
the real inwardnesS of this state
ment became manifest when one of
the band told an officer of the police
force that hell will be popping next
Thursday" Asked to be more ex-
plicit, he said that the plan was to
appoint the commissioners under
the terms Of the Churchill-Russell
law at a late hour Wednesday,
night, and have them ready to take
charge of the affairs of the police
early Thursday morning. If they re-
sisted, they were to be arrested.
These arrests were to be followed
by the arrest of Chief of Police
White, and all of the officers of the
force who were not in sympathy with
them and who were not ready to do
their bidding. Another part of the
alleged scheme was that Scott was
to be on hand and issue all writs
that might be necessary to aid in
erecting the machinery of the new
law. Among the more moderate ele-
ment Of the A. P. A. and the great
mass of citizens the universal senti-
ment is in favor of a settlement by

principle in the Fifty-third congress.
But even if that were so, there is
no question that the party would
be in better shape today had that
congress obeyed the injunction of
the majority, and steadfastfy ad-
hered to the revenue idea in franz
ing it's policy. There is no in
stance on record where the
fusion of opposing parties has
brought permanent advantage to
either. There is no exception to the
rule that such policy is destruc-
tive of organization and discipline
as well as a mockery of princi-
pie. 1t is immoral, and it does not
pay. All parties should have learned
that lesson by this time. -,
