A FEW QUESTIONS.

If cheap dollar is always wrong Is a
dear dollar always right?
Does cheap dollar injure the creditor
any more than a dear dollar Injuries the
debtor?
Was there a single or double standard
of values before silver was demOnetized?
Is continual contraction of the curren-
cy any more honest than continual int1a-
ton of the currency would be?
How can cheap money injure debtor
however thick skulled" he may be?
Did cheap money injure debtors from
the time greenbacks began to be issued
by the government, till the time the gov
eminent began to destroy the green
backs?
Does imitation disarrange prices more
than contraction disarranges prices?
Does not contraction of the currency
by increasing the value of fines, come
under the head of ex post facto laws,
which are excluded by the constitution?
Does not both imitation and contraction
become essentially unconstitutional as
both impair the obligation of con-
tracts?"
Is not gold dearer because silver was
demOnetiZed?
Would not gold be cheap if silver
should be remOnetiZed?
Who would sell silver for less than he
could get for 1t at the mint?
If the creditor ought to be paid more
silver, if paid in silver when silver is
cheaper when the bond or other property
was sold, then should he not receive less
gold if paid in gold, when gold is high
than when the bond was sold!
Who can borrow money on the easiest
terms, the beggar or the millionaire?
Are any 80 much opposed to cheap sill
yer as those who made it cheap, or those
who bought bonds with greenbacks when
gold was at the highest premium during
the war?
How much better should the money be
that is paid to the bondholders than the
money that was paid to the soldiers?
How much worse is it to repudiate part
OF the plumber of the bondholders than to
repudiate all of the poor mans hard
earned possessions? --J. H. in the King
dom.

SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE

Senator John H. Mitchell, of Oregon.
contributed to the June number of The
forum powerful and convincing article
advocating the Selection of senators by
Popular Vote" He thinks that the polit-
zeal and moral supremacy of the people
can be rightly expressed and maintained
only when they exercise this right direct
~. and not vicariously. He believes the
election of United States senators by pop-
ular vote will, first, afford an efficient
remedy for the many evils resulting from
the present system of senatorial elections
such as length Of time consumed and
frequent failures to choose, and the con-
sequent distraction of the legislative
mind from its proper business; second
discourage the use OF improper means
to influence the control of senatorial cleo
tions; third, greatly, diminish the tempta.
ton to gerrymander; fourth, enlarge the
political rights OF the individual voter
felating to suffrage; fifth, eliminate from
elections involving the selection Of mem.

bers of the legislature one great cause
for irritation and unseemly contention,
wherein, as, rule, the question upon
which everything is made to turn Is how
this or that man will vote for senator,
rather than upon the question Of his fit
ness for the Office of legislator; and,
sixth, effectively tend to the destruction
of boss" rule. Senator Mitchell con-
tends that a thoroughly aroused and
enlightened public opinion demands
the change, and urges that this demand
be respected by congress to the extent
of giving the people of the several states
through their representatives in the leg
islatures, an opportunity to pass upon the
question; for, in his opinion, mo harm is
likely to come to representative republic
can government in America by intrusting
to the qualified electors of the nation the
right to choose by popular vote the men
who are to make their laws"

FARMERS PROVERBS.

To think twice before you speak once
is nearly always wise; but to think often
err and then keep silent may be wiser
still.
When anger threatens to consume the
patience which long has borne the
folly of your friend, then guard your
lips lest bitter words may harm yourself
and friend, who may still need your
friendship.
The tongue, when ruled by passion, is
wilder than the wild ass's colt, and more
untameable than the tameless unicorn.
Repose is strength, but passion and
hasty speech marketh a time of weak
mes in him that Is exercised thereby.
The strength of the youth with calm
ness is greater than that of the boasting
giant.

Can this be True.

"Nat1ralist" relates curions freak of jealousy on the part of g pig in his pos session. IL is female and in process of time produced litter of young nun. bering ten. At an early age the mother had the misfortune to lose her tail in an accident and since then she has gone through life with nothing but a slump. The young ones, however, were endowed with tails like other piggies This did not satisfy the old one, who seemed to grow intensely jealous of these appen- dages to her offspring, and one day she got ths litter in row and bit off their tails one by one, notwithstanding their protesting sgueals. The mother is now quite pleased to zee the family all alike. London Daily Telegram.

How rarely is literary genius--or, in. deed, very high order of literary tal- in he second genera. tion! T. is rare, indeed, for memorials oI father and son to find themseIyes face to face in Westminster Abbey, ss since last week do the memorials of Thomas and Matthew Arnold And in this case Thomas Arnold owes his place rather 10 character and personal influence and the gratitude of the Rugheian race ne reared than 10 anything in him that could be called literary genius Thinking over the great names oi English literature, the only cases that occur to one are the Coleridges, the Disraelis and the Lyt. tons, and some would add the Mills, and with the possible exception of Samuel Taylor and Hartley Coleridge, there can not in these cases he much talk of genius transmitted In France there are the cases of the two Crebillons and of Dumas pere and Dumas fills; and if Edmond de Goncourt's critical insight is to be de. pended on, we shall have 30 add Dau. det pere and Dsudet fls.

4 Party of Sires and Seuens.

The republicans Of Alameda county and the Third Congressional District at large may be congratulated without prejudice. as the lawyers say, on their very emphatic pronouncement on .he question which more than any other is vital to the state. They have accepted Representative Hillborn for renomination because of his consistent record in oppo- sition to the Funding bill. They have rejected his competitors because there was reason to suspect that they favored Mir. Hnntington's scheme, or even be- cause their position m this regard vas uncertain. The one question on which the party voters required to be satisfied was: Is this man true to California or to Huntington?
 There is no longer any republican par. ty in California in the sense of a united body of citizens working for common end, devoted to one platform or followers of one set of leaders The sentiment for Mckinley is tame, languId, in operation perfunctory The state platform has no binding force. It's most earnest declar a,ion--tbat one which alone roused for moment the sleeping enthusiasm Of A convention drowsing oyer lesson by rote, the single point of fire not smoth- cred in ioz-the declaration against the Funding bill, has heen ignored by the p.rty in some districts, trodden under foot m one and eagerly insisted on in others Grove Johnson is a whole plat. form in himself. Hiliborn is another in flat contradiction of the human document imposed on an unhappy party in the second district. Nay, Hillborn has de. clared in the strongest terms for free silver coinage. The republican voters did not care tinker's topsy iurvy pray. CT what he thinks about silver. They simply asked: Is this man true to Cal ifornia or to Huntington?
 Nobody knows shat Johnson thinks dUout sHNrt NooOu1 Gdfro hs6 "' Huntington.
 Bowere, he party nominee iD ihe seventh district, is or has been an ad vocate of free silver coinage. He is an honest and unflinching enemy of the funding jbb Whether he is in love with that other human documeDs. MT. Hanna, is question which might be submitted | for solution to the horse marines. The position of Representative Bar ham Tn the first district is very like that of Bowers in the seventh. He refuses positively 10 be bound hy' that declara- ton in the national paform which is deemed most essential by he party man agers at the East. He ,s declared him self for free silver as q question of politi- cal expediency. He is simply like he others of his party making struggle for office, and the devil take Mckinley.
 The condition of ihe party in the fourth district is perhaps rather intended 10 promote the g1iety If politics than Q serve serious end The party is di. vided between the followers of Admiral 1 Spreckelr ard the hardy admirers of General d. Young We understand that Mir. Spreckels had nominated for con gress Mir. Dinkelspiel, but there is a declaration from MT Dinkelspiel that he will not play On the other hand Mr

Several years ago L E. Blake put a small mill in at Needles for the purpose of working ores from the Gladiator mine, in New York district, and also to han. 6le custom ores. The mill was put np as blind to work up sentiment in favor of the Nevada Southern railroad 80 that stock of that line could be put on the market at good figures. A great deal of ore was shipped from Manvel to the Needles works that would not average two dollars per ton. The mill was kept running on this ore and concentrates running eleven ounces silver and trace in gold were made. The great crash of three years ago knocked the bottom out of the scheme and in consequence Nee dies got black eye. The mines capa- ble of producing ore enough to keep one hundred stamps pounding away lie forty miles of Needles and some day we expect to hear the music of the mills and see the rich product pouring forth into the channels of trade.
