MORE PAVE FOR CLAY AVENUE,
Wanted for Its North Extension by
New Property Owners.

a continuous asphalt pavement on
Clay avenue to the Dunmore line is
wanted by many of the property own
ers on that thoroughfare. Asphalt is
now laid as far as Pine street and If
the street was paved on the four blocks
between Pine and Poplar streets. there
would he from that point continuous
stretch of artificial roadbed into the
heart of the city.
Up to a year ago only few resi-
dences We're on Clay avenue north of
Pine street. Beyond that point there
was no regularity of street intersec-
tons. the avenue itself was not graded
and very little of the bordering land
had been sold by the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal company. At present George
f. Smith. president of the Erie and
Wyoming railroad: Frank Carlucci,
wealthy contractor and others have
started or nearly finished building
handsome residences and manv lots
have been sold by the Lackawanna
Iron and Coal company to desirable
purchasers. These people are. many OF
them, anxious for pavement and il is
not improbable that q petition for one
viii be presented to councils during
the winter and an ordinance passed
before spring.
Clay avenue. as it skirts the hill
back of and beyond the Moses Taylor
hospital is one Of the most slightly,
healthful and breezy residence streets
imaginable. Citvward. it is already
lined with the homes of well-to-do fam
lilies. but these will not as whole equal
some that are soon to be completed on
the newly oDened part of the avenue.
If the present paving plan natures,
Clay avenue will have been paved its
entire length.

Madison, Fla, where he has been for day
or two at the bed side of his brother, Mr.
Eugene West, of Westlake, Fla While
hunting on the coast last Saturday MIR.
West suffered a terrible and peculiar ac-
cident He went down with a party of
friends from Jacksonville and Fernandina,
and spent the first day of the hunt in
shooting game Near nightfall Mr.. West
started to put a shell in the breech of his
gun, but discovered the shell had cankered
some making it's entrance into the breech
difficult. He endeavored to force it in when
the shell exploded, the powder flying in
his face and eyes, burning them so that it
was thought his eyesight was completely
gone. The accident happened sixty-hve
miles from physician and there was no
way to reach him except by buggy and
horse. To make the trip took nearly two
days and in the meantime the wounds be-
came irritated and painful Col. West left
his brother in improved condition yester-
day and thinks now that his eyesight Will
be alright though his face will be dis
figured for life. Mr. West is also brother
of Mr.. John West, of Savannah.

Maitland is all torn up with internal
dissensions growing out of the scandal
Gus letters that were written and sent
anonymously in the community a few
months ago. In the belief that he was the
sender of the letters Mr.. Brawner was
severely hogged by four of his neighbors.
They were afterwards arrested and tried
for this offense, and each received a light
sentence. They took an appeal and their
case is still pendinsc Then Mr.. Brawner
was tried inNthS United States court for
Illegal use of the mails and acquitted.
This did not, however end the difficulty.
Somebody in Maitland deserves the whip
ping that was Administered to Brawner,
and a long term in the penitentiary as well
These anonymous letters assan the pri-
vate characters of some of Maitlands
best men and women. The missives are
vile and obscene in the extreme, and the
charges contained in them are simply
nameless The offense has reached such
proportions that an Indignation meeting
is called. Large posters have been print
ed, calling upon the good citizens of the
town-men and women-to assemble for
the purpose of devlslng a means to end
the scandal.

ed and he fell i'm front of the wheels. He
was badly mangled, the wheels passing
over his head. His death was instantan-
eous. He was prominent young man in
the neighborhood.
Valdosta was the scene of another ro-
mantle marriage yesterday, though the
state of Florida furnishes the contracting
parties. During the morning young man
turned up at the Baptist parsonage and
explained to Rev. Carl Minor that he had
his girl with him from Florida and that
they wanted to be married. Rev. Minor
consented to perform the ceremony and
after noon the couple appeared in a hack,
accompanied by a married couple from
the same section in which they lived In
the presence of two or three witnesses
the preacher tied the nuptial knot and
sent them on their way rejoicing. The
groom was Mr.. E. S. Speer, a young
business man employed by West Bros.
at Westlake while the bride was Miss
Ella " Logan, a fair young woman from
the Flowery state. They left by the even
ing train for their Florida home. They
gave no reasons for running away from
home to marry, and some friends claim
that they only wanted to avoid the furry
and excitement of a marriage set by date
with all the gossip etc, incident thereto.
The local police made an important
land, a negro who will be remembered
in connection with several robberies in
Thomasville last winter. Among the thefts
charged up to him was that Of lot of
valuable articles belonging to some of the
northern tourists. He was spotted by the
chief of police yesterday and last night
that officer arrested him. He fought like
a tiger for freedom, but the chief finally
levelled gun on him and made him 60 to
prison. He denied his name and guilt
until after he was identified by parties
from Townsville. Then he admitted his
name and confessed that ne was the man
charged with the thefts, but he stin de-
MED his guilt.
Valdosta will have a hanging in a few
weeks. The supreme court has affirmed
the action Of the superior court In the
case of Jake Burney. and the negro will
have to die on the gallows. The date has
not been fixed for the execution.

WHAT FREE COINAGE MEANS.

Free coinage of silver does not mean that anybody would get silver, or dollars or coins free. It means only That any one would be free to bring silver ito the United States mints, where money is coined, and have it coined just as the government does. He must bring the silver and must pay for the base metal to alloy with the silver.
 Now when the government buys one dollars worth of silver the mint puts 51 cents worth of silver into the silver coin called dollar and keeps 49 cents worth in the ltreasury as profit, or 'seigniorage.'i It has put out dollar worth 51 cents in silver and 49 cents promise-to-pay. It keeps the 49 cents worth of silver so that it can make the dollar good on demand. That is, for every silver dollar issued there are 51 cents worth of silver in the dollar and 49 cents worth of silver in the treas uiJ Co 1AeohO IHO uOlldI SOCu uOW 1UU cents.
 | Under free coinage amy one could | bring 51 cents worth of silver to the mint and when it was coined get the silver dollar back. The government stamp would say that this silver coin was good for dollar, but the govern ment would not have the 49 cents worth of silver ito make good its prom ise.
 This 49 cents would be a profit te Ihe man who brought the silver-that is, the silver mine owner-but for one reason. Nobody would pay for 'things with hundred cent gold dollar whe1 he could pay with a 51-cent silver dol
 lar. Gold dollars would be. kept O
 sent abroad to buy things there. Al
 prices, except the price of labor, woult
 soon be reckoned in 51-cent dollars that~is, would soon be doubled.
 So the silver mine owner would soo1 find that even he could get no goot out of free coinage in buying things out only in paying labor Wages al ways rise slower than prices. This is what free coinage woul, mean.

unsuccessful attempts to issue fiat money. The laws of trade and finance are not to be regulated by fiat. Grant ing that silver must be worth $1.29 to place the silver dollar, under free coin age, on a par with the dollar now in use, isn't it plain that if silver was worth only SIPS the dollar would be worth less than 100 cents? If silver was worth one dollar an ounce, what would the dollar be worth?
 Bryan believes silver would rule steady at $1.29. Against his bare as- sertion is ranged the experience of the financial world The point we seek tc make is that if silver could not be maintained at $1.29, and it has failed to reach that point in years, the silver dollar would not be worth a dollar With the teachings of history before US isn't it folly to think of making the dangerous experiment advocated by Bryan and the other theorists of the Popocratic outfit?

POINTS ABOUT THE DOLLAR.

Gold continues to pour into the United States. Shipments hither from abroad in the last two months have ex- ceeded $52 100000. Imports of mer- chandise at New York continue about |25 per cent and of drygoods nearly 60 per cent less than a year ago. The exports of domestic products, on the other hand, are 30 per cent larger than last year. Large amounts of currency still go to the interior, and the pru- dence of bankers and the narrowness of manufacturing and trading unite to render doings in commercial loans quite small; but business is not now crippled and confined by monetary trouble, as it was two months ago.
 The expectation of the election of Nc Kinley is ascribed Iby New York mer- chants as the cause of the improved conditions. The balance of Itrade has been in our favor for some time, which explains the great influx of gold. In ternational balances are settled on a gold basis. If free coinage prevailed in this country the gold we might get in trade settlements would rep resent the bullion value of sil- yer alone. Silver is worth less thar 70 cenlSs am ounce. It would need tt bring $1.29 in London, the clearing house of the world, to make the silver dollar equivalent in value to the one which now carries the government stamp and guaranty.
 None except the most rabid silver men assume that under a free coinage law silver immediately would increase 59 cents an ounce in value and remain steady at $1.29, with the mints open tt the silver of the world. The increased production could not fail ito influence the price. The government could no declare that silver should be rated a $1.29 cents am ounce. The early history of England abounds in instances ot

HARVEY AND HIS CUBE.

NCoin" Harvey, who has certainly been one of the most mischievous dem agogues that ever inflicted themselves upon a free people, emerged long enough from the deserved obscurity into which he has fallen to revamp his ideas before an audience in Chicago recently. He had some gold coin with him by which he undertook ito show that all the gold in the world at the present time would only make a cube twenty-two feet square. He didn't prove it by his gold pieces, for there were not enough of them, but even ii he did or could it is an entirely incon- sequent matter.
 The gold in the world today, no mat ter what it's size may be in cubic feet amounts to the sum of nearly nine billions of dollars, a sum so vast thah the mind cannot conceive it. If re- duced to the shape of Harvey's i'm aginary cube it would weigh forty mil lions of pounds, so that it would take a strong, good sized lever in Harvey's hands to turn it over.
 Harvey has been tilting away at this gold cube of his for a number of years but-he has not yet undertaken to load it on a freight train. Does he know how many cars it would take to carry that cube of gold? Forty millions o1

DON'T WORRY ABOUT TT.

We trust that the citizens of Yavapai county who came to Phoenix Friday at great personal expense to attest to their loyalty to Republican principles will not be deterred from coming again by the ill natured attack of an utterly irresponsible newspaper. To be sure, it is not agreeable to be called "strik- CTS" or Subsidized cohorts or free lunch soldiers of commerce" but such expressions, it is well known here, are part of the stock in trade of the news paper in question and should not be taken seriously. Possibly if Yavapai county had not sent such thoroughly representative body the anger of this public scold might not have been aroused to the extent that it was. Prosperity, whether typifed by men or institutions, is undoubtedly its bete noir Like Bryan, f5 is hap piest when trying to tear some thing down. AS District Att torney Morrison of Yavapai county said yesterday, the Republicans of Prescott and vicinity who took part in the mass meeting here chartered a train on the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road, and were under no obli- gations ito the railroad company It is a fact, easy of verifeation, that the Mckinley and Hobart club of Prescott paid a good round sum for the special train. If there were any people on board who did not pay their passage il
 was because they were guests of the club. So much for this disagreeable incident The Yavapaians came to Phoenix, spent Hheir money like meI and gentlemen, and their presence was a source of pleasure to everybody who delights in seeing the people of north ern and southern Arizona on terms ot amity. We ask them to overlook the only irritating episode of that visit.

FOR WORKERS TO CONSIDER

Wage earners are best off when there is plenty of work and work all the timea Then wages are good. And a man gets six days work week in- stead of half time. Half time is al- most as bad as half wages. The farm CT may sell his crop tomorrow if he cannot sell it today. But the wage earner must sell his labor today; he cannot sell today's labor tomorrow.
 The only way the wage earner can save his labor is to put it into work each day. He cannot get work unless employers invest money. Employers cannot get money to invest unless times are good. They will not contract or invest unless they know what sort of money they are to have. Conf dence is the first condition of good times
 No trades are so quickly hurt by { panic or helped by confidence as tht building trades-the men who work il iron, brick, stone and wood.
 When the panic of 1893 came al building, particularly in the east stopped. Ironworkers, masons, car penters, plumbers and the like wer. thrown out of work as soon as tihei jobs could be left.
 That happens every time that 'soun' money is in danger.
