COUNTY WARRANTS on TAXES.

The law that allows taxes to be paid
in warrants. is one of the first that
should be repealed. 1t is one of the
most manifestly unjust laws On tho
statute boofs.- Spearfish Register.
Manifestly unjust because under it's
operation afew spectators cannot COIL
troll the price of warrants. 1t is the
fact that warrants are legal tender for
taxes that keeps them at par, or nearly
SO. III the law vas repealed speculu-
tors could force the price down to 10
cents and keep it there. Creditors of
the county would thenb be completely at
their mercy. BY all means let the law
stand.-Deadwood Independent.
We contend that just the reverse of
what the Independent claims is true.
AS it now is the warrant brokers are
the only ones who buy warrants, and
they only want just what they can use
in paying taxes for outsiders. The
brokers make all the profits; they pay
just what they wish to. There is no
real value to the warrants above what
can be used in paying taxes, for there
is no telling when they will be paid in
cash.
When Treasurer Burke first assumed
charge of the t~reasurer's office he re-
fused to accept warrants upon taxes
untilhe was mandamused bythecourts.
AS a consequence theprice of warrants
advanced, for the outstanding regis
tered warrants commenced to be called
in and paid in cash, and although they
may have been held by eastern inves-
tors for several years they were per-
fectly satisfied with the investment
for 4 per cent interest is a good rate.
All they want is assurance that their
warrants are being approached in pay
ment. .Under the present system no
investor will purchase a warrant to
hold IS an investment, so that the only
chance of sale is to the brokers who
buy them on the market as cheaply as
possible and then pay someone's taxes
with them, thereby fully doubling their
money. Parties who might buy war
rants expecting to hold them until paid
in their regular order would not expect
to get them at a very great discount,
for they do not expect much more out
of them than the regular rate of inter
est.
BY permitting the original creditors
OF the county to whom warrants may
he issued to pay their own taxes with
warrants, it seems to us, would cover
the real objection of the Independent.
There is something certainly wrong
with this warrant business. and we be-
-ieve the only remedy is to prevent
their indiscriminate use in the pay
ment of taxes.

NEWSPAPERS GALORE.

The STAR has received a letter of in
quiry as to the starting of ga new paper
at HotSprings to be called the Spray"
Some particulars we're wanted as 10
who the publishers are to be, etc. OF
course we could not furnish the par
ticulars, but if some of our readers can
it will be appreciated. The fact that
Hot Springs needs another newspaper
or two or three more is too apparent
to call forcomment. It'sa very strange
thing that some wise men from the
east, or from some other remote and
hopeful region, have not long ago en-
braced the golden opportunity offered
for more newspapers here at Hot
Springs. Theymight beyond any doubt
whatever gather in a whole lot of the
spare "spray" that daily goes to waste
here. SPRAY" would be a very appro-
pirate name for another newspaper
for spray is about all the substance
that newspapers here are getting. By
all means let us have more SPRAY"
But this isn't all the information that
is desired. Our inquirer wants to know
as to the truthfulness of the '%reports"
that new papers are to be started at
Hill City, Custer, Buffalo Gap and
Edgemont." Now of course there can
be no question about the possibility of
such a Observation-Disclosures of news
papers in those towns, for they are
all nearly dead for want of more news
papers.
Hill City for instance once had two
newspapers-even two of the same
name for awhile and Vow the town is
suffering with bat one.
Custer has only two now. one being
recently started, although it has wit
messed the budding of many u news
paper fiower,b but each one soon blushed
unseen, excepting the steady old
Chronicle, and it never has been known
to blush since Sam Shankland edited it.
Buffalo Gap. Il town that has given
birth to more-efforts in the newspaper
line than any city this side of Beaver
creek, and very strangely o has only
one, must indeed be longing for more
"World's" to conquer. Balleu is all
alone in his glory, and like the rest of
us is said to be very Ba-lou.
Edgemont is also on the list. Well.

Tho Burlington railway has always
had the reputation of being liberal in
matters of public Importance, and the
action of that road recently in its sub.
scription to the Trans Mississippi Ex-
position tends to confirm that belief.
General Manager Holdridge announced
that the road would contribute $4,000
toward the c ofthe Trans Missis-
sippi Exposition. The amount sub
scribed by the Burlington is the full
amount asked from that company by
the exposition directory. The Burling-
ton was asked for a heavier contribu-
ton than any other road entering
Omaha. 1t is also announced that the
Burlington will erect a magnificent
new depot at Omaha.

A CURRENCY SCHEME.

Ex-Gov. Horace Boies, of Iowa, writes
the Chicago Record that C has devised
n scheme for expanding the currency
by the issue of bullion certificates and
the suspension of coinage. 1t is a
peculiar circumstunce-one of those
unaccountable coincidences-that the
ex-governor of Iowa should have form
ulated his scheme in the exact words
of IL declaration written by the editor
of this paper and kept standing at the
head Of the editorial columns of the
Gary Inter State for two years before
we came to INSTRUMENTATION Ga
zettc.
That same scheme is a good one, too.
The STAR some time ago reprinted it
from the Interstate. 1t is worth keep
ing before the people Doane.

what. An occasional discussion OF il
will not be altogether Objectionable to
intelligent people, although it really
did become a very m~onotonous subject
during the long campaign. Under the
caption of this article the Chicago
Inter Ocean contained Il few questions

which that paper answered and covered
one OF the most important points OF
the currency problemso nicely that We
give the questions and answers in full,

thing by law how is it that the govern
ment is able to coin 3 cents worth O;
silver into a dollar, which dollar will
buy as much as Il hundred cents worth
of gold, and why could not the govern
ment do the same thing under free
coinage? .. Is the depreciation of
silver during the last hundred years

there other causes, and what are they:
1. The government is able for the
time being to hold u certain amount
of cheap silver, coined into dollars, at a
nominal parity with gold. but should
it increase this amount of silver coin
without limit any II can see that the
effort to maintain the metals at a par
ity at the present legal ratio. or in fact
amy other, would fail. IL was neces-
sary in 1893 for the government to stop
the purchase of silver for the simple
reason that it was overstocking it's re.
sources with this metal. There could
be no doubt whatever that if this pro-
cess was not checkedit would have had
OF Its hands far more silver than it
could possibly usethrough the medium
ofthe treasury. This fact shows plainly
why. under free coinage, the govern
ment could not possibly hold up the
value of silver.
!. The depreciation of silver during
the last half century has been partly
caused by overproduction, and partly
by general disuse of this metal as
money. To speak accurately. however.
this disuse came about from the fact
of excessive production, wherefore. ii
is not incorrect to ascribe the entire
depreciation to the very great increase
of production.

1t will be seen at once from this
brief review of the situation that all

in need of newspapers-whether they
be run on "spray' or "wind." We have
spray from IL springs and wind from
