The arrest of this Miss Smith revives
interest in another notorious woman

who was indicted by the federal grand
jury OF Oklahoma county on Nov. &c
last, and Is now confined in the United

will take place at the next term of the

Product on of silver.

Do you know, We who have been de-
luded by the epigrammatic fallacies Of
silver-tongued orators, that the produc-
ton of silver increased from 81 ,OO0, 900
ounces in 1873 to 100000 ounces in
1895? Do you know that the Broken
Hill' mines of Australia produced IN
1895 over 10000, 900 ounces. at an averag ,
cost of 40 cents per ounce. and that mil
lions of ounces are taken from the best
mines of this country at ali equally low
cost? In view of these facts. what do
you think are the causes of the decline
in the price of silver from $1.20 per
ounce in 1873 to about so cents per
ounce at the present time? Is it not
more reasonable to ascribe the decline
to the enormously increased supply at
an enormously diminished cost of pro-
duction than to trace IL to the alleged
"crime of ls15?"-Philadelphia Record.

There is capital enough for every
legitimate business enterprise, and by
the processes of credit it can be multi
piled indefinitely, but it cannot be set
at its work so long as men fear that it
will be suddenly cheapened in the using.
Capital brings no return to the owner
unless he somehow puts it at the service
of the community, but the tempting
lure the lenders follow is profit, and
when the risks are great the profits
must also be great. Remove the thought
of risk, and boarded capital will be set
free, mills will start up, railroads I'M
dertnke extensions and improvements
and hopeful enterprises commend them
selves to investors. AS it is, pending
the decision of the value of the dollar,

ing. We live from hand to mouth,
