AS TO AN HONEST STANDARD.

Our single gold standard friends are su fond of talking about ''the hammer and fire tests" when discussing the rel a,tfye values of gold and silver, that they lose sight of fhe real issue i'm < ynlved. which is as ito the purchasing price of a dollar. No dollar can right f,fgly be called stan honest dollar to the exclusion of all other coins that does mot do exact justice between cred itor and debtor. We are told that the hammer and fire tests are supreme; that no dollar is honest which, If hammered or melted into bullion loses a. part of its value. 'The gold dollar stands lthis test" they say, ''and is Therefore an honest dol,ar" while the silver dollar cannot stand the test and is therefore dishonest. This is plaus- ibIe argument. but un,trNrthful never theless.
 It should be remembered that the mints are open to the coinage, free of et,tsrge, of gold bullion into coin, but closed to silver.
 Tried by ihe fire or hammer test, dn silver using coruntres like Mexico, whose prosperity under. the white meta. is the marvel of fine civilized world, and gold becomes "a dishonest and silver an honest dollar. How, then, can a gold dollar be honest in one country and dishonest in another?
 |. sso.ll.'ds 'wsll to talk about the euJ, accustomed by a uepreciIabng dollar, G1nt let US reverse idhe process and see mthaIt trouble is caused by one that steadily appreciates in value. In the one case the debtor suffers, in the other Gha creditor.
 A dollar that appreciates in value. as the gold dollar does, takes from the producer to add ito the wealth of 'he foafer.
 Un1eT depreciating standard the creditor class gets Cess of the product of the industrial classes and sholh; 'rfraud,' 'fdishonast dollar" etc., bu is it any more dishonest tor the cred ditor than it is for the debtor ito suffer

BURIAL OF CY WILLIAMS.
A Life Sacrificed to Misapprehensio
 of the Dead Mans Disposition

Tucson Star: The remains of Cy Williams were buried yesterday from Ithe Baird undertaking rooms The funeral was conducted according ito the ritual and ceremonies of the Masonic order, of which tlhe deceased was a member. The obsequies were attended by the numbers of the local lodge and by the many friends and acquaintances of the dead man, for there are few Ar izonans better known than he was
 Very little more is known of the cir cumstamces of the shooting which caused his death than was known the day before
 It seems to have grown out of a mis- apprehension by Geo. A. Williams, the slayer, of the disposition of the de- ceased, who was we'll known by his friends as practical joker. There had been misunderstanding on Sun day morming about the cost of room occupied by Geo. A. Williams the night before. When the Iatter called at the barroom in the afternoon just before the shooting and asked for drink, Cy Williams is said to have replied in vio- lent language and with a demOnstra- tion which led Williams ito believe that he was threatened with assault.
 Those who were present and those who know Cy Williams do not believe .that an assault was intended, but that he was only indulging in a roughness of jocularity for which he had long been noted.

IT WAS A FAKE.
The Report That Three Men Were
 Killed by Indians.

WIlcoX News: Last Friday night at Il o'clock a government counter came to Willeox from Rucker canyon with the startling intelligence that cilzan had arrived at the soldiers camp the night before and reported the killing of three men by Indians on Cave Creek. He gave the names of the men as Hand, Reed and Stafford, three we'll known stockmen, and stated that the killing occurred on Gave Creek short distance above the place where Alfred Hand was killed by Indians about month ago. Lieutenant Bullock, i'm command of the troop of cavalry now stationed at Rucker canyon, immedi
 aItely dispatched one courier to Fort Grant ito inform Col. Sumner of the killing, and another to Lieutenant Rice, who is in the field near the So nora lime with Indian scouts, so that he would be on the lookout for Indians passing from the United States into Mexico. Then taking a detachment Of soldiers from his troop, Lieutenant Bullock went to Gave Greek himself l in hot haste, only to find tine whole story falsehood and the men reported killed peacefully engaged in herding their stock. Not an. Indian was in the country nor was there report of any. 1 In the meantime the courier arrived | in Wi,lcox too late ito get the news to ! Font Grant by.stelegraph and was ! obliged ito carry it through himself. He reached Grant at an early hour Saturday morning and Col. Sumner ordered A troop commanded by Capt 1 rO ot Creek by way of Bowie. By hard rid ing and the exercise of good judgment Lieutenant Bullock succeeded in get ting the news that the report was false into Fort Grant i'm Eime So that Captain Greshamis troop was stopped at Bowie station and returned ito the fort.
 Whether the man who brought the report ito the soldiers at Rucker canyon had been misinformed or manufac- tured the story out of pure cussedness we do mot know, but if it was done for a joke, in our opinion, the joker should receive about a year in the penitentiary for being so funny. The Seventh cav airy has the reputation of being the most gallant regiment in the United States army and they desire ito sustain this reputation. Since they arrived 1 in Arizona at least two troops have been kept constantly in the field and plans are DOW being perfected which
 will lead ito the destruction of the small band of renegade Indians who have been responsible for so many
 murders in Arizona during the past eight years. It is ito the interest of the
 residents of southeastern Arizona to aid the soldiers all they can in the pur- suit of these red fends and in no bet ter way can the stockmen and cowboys tn the sparsely settled country help in this matter than in every instance when they hear of depreciation being
 committed, to first find out if the runlor is true and then make all pos
 sib,e haste to the nearest telegraph of
 flee and send the report in to Forj
 Grant. But a few wild goose chases
 such as Lieutenant Bullock engaged in
 last week Mill destroy all confidence
 in reports, coming from citizens and make the work of the soldiers doubly
 hard ito perform.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. "A special to
The Evening Wisconsin from Chippewa
Falls. Wis. says: The situation in
Chippewa Falls is growing more Sc
rious every minute. The mammoth ice
gorge which formed six miles down the
river has backed into the city, and the
immense volume of water coming from
above is spreading to each side, inun-
dating large portions of the town.
Every merchant in the city is moving
to a place of safety. The water has
filed the easements of the business
blocks almost the entire length of
Bridge street, and before evening it is
expected she water will have reached
the court house, eight blocks from the
river. There is much excitement in
town but everything is orderly. About
fifty families on the South side who
were forced to leave their iWIes. were
reported in want, and relief was imme-
diately dispatched. Some of these fam
lilies had taken refuge in empty houses.
and were without food or warmth.
Dynamite wouldn't Touch 1t.
Bridge Superintendent Callaghan of
the Central road was instructed to
blast the gorge at our east, but he
would not undertake the task. He
said that all the dynamite manufac-
tured could not bulge it, and it seems
all that can be done is to sit hands
down and watch the approach Of the
flood. The water is rising at the>rate
of a foot an. hour, and it looks as though
the entire town would be inundated.
1t is critical condition of affairs, but
there seems to be no remedy.

The Mile Lacs Indians have not been

thought that the reason for withhold
