SOME INTERESTING LETTERS,

Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter, whose let
ters have been one of the most valued
features of the Sunday Globe for
more than year past, has prepared a
series Of special and striking interest to
the public, the first of which will ap-
pear in next Sundays issue. These
letters will deal with the present condi-
ton Of the mining regions Of the United
States, both gold and silver, with i'm
proven1ents in processes and present
and prospective output. and will cover
generally the entire field of the produc-
ton of the precious metals in this
country. Mr. Carpenter has prepared
for this work by a visit to the ground
and a special study Of the subject He
has done this in view of the great IN
terest now attaching to the questions
relating to the value and use Of the
money metals. The series Of letters
deal with the assumed relative desir-
ability Of either gold. or silver for use
as a money metal. They will look
neither toward the gold nor the silver
side in the present controversy, and
will be devoted to a complete descrip-
ton of the condition of the mineral
producing regions of the great West
and their future possibilities. Inter
views have been had with the owners
of the largest of these great proper
ties, and their views have been OBJ
tanned upon the future Of the industry.
The new processes of extracting gold
from ore by the use of cyanide of POI
tassium. which marks an era in the
gold mining business, will be fully de-
scribed. 9,-t
We cannot think of any subject of
more direct interest to the public at
this time, nor enc of more value: since
its facts and figures will throw a side
light upon the great political question
just now the cynosure of all eyes and
minds. The publication of Mr.. Car
penter's letters will begin one week
from today, and nobody in the North
west should fail to read them in the
G ODE.

DEVOTION TO PRINCIPLE.

When Luther S. Dixon sat at the
head Of the supreme court bench Of
the state of Wisconsin there came I'D
from country Justice court by way
of the intermediate court a case in
which the amount involved was but
five or six dollars. The chief justice
took occasion to comment, in ironical
mood. on the intense devotion to prin-
eiple and to their profession of attor-
neys who would thus 'tenaciously stick
to SO trivial a case, purely, Of course
for the sake of the great fundamental
legal principles underlying 1t. This sar-
easm of Justice. Dixon is recalled by
the statement that Judge Severance
and a jury spent a day In trying a
case involving the ownership of four
hogs, and the jury spent night In
trying to settle the vexed and disputed
facts of the case. The expense to the
public Of this neighborhood dispute
was, It is said, twenty times more than
the value Of the hogs. 1t Is related Of
some impatient and weary Judge that
inquired OF the counsel the amount in
volved, and when told. it was two dol
lars, said: Here Is the money. Mr..
Clerk call the next oase.'i
We can appreciate the feelings Of
these judges, their disgust at the te-
nactty Of men over triaes, INJECTING
burdens on the public out Of all pro-
portion to the values involved, and
sympathize, with the irony they visited
on them. BUT there Is a larger view
to be taken Of the matter In which the
pettiness and the annoyance vanishes
and the litigious spirit becomes lauda-
BILE. 1t is one Of the most frequent re-
marks of observing foreigners that the
American is the most indulgent Of per-
sons. He endures with growl but
without protest invasions OF his per-
sonai rights that would elsewhere be
resented. He submits daily to annoy

of defeat in the attempt to '1ook any

or late, however, signs have not been
lacking of a different. spirit. Mrs. Jen-
ness Miller. in demonstrating that a
dress-reform wardrobe was necessarily
an expensive one, accomplished a vast
amount for the cause, while the best
of the tailor-made bicycle suits Of the
last two seasons have demonstrated
that elegance and distinction are quail
tiles obtainable in a shortened skirt,
as we'll as in one which also performs
the secondary function of street

The latest demonstration in favor of

Mrs. Christine Lunsdefs who has or
ganized Heat b sgulture club"
whose members pledge themselves to
do all they can individually and col
lectively for the promotion of health
in women. The skirt which sweeps the
street, collecting dirt and microbes by
the million, constituting a prolific
source of colds and pleurisy In sloppy
weather, and a great impeachment to
progress on windy days, is one of the
things which they purpose to modify.
The members of the club are persons
of good taste and prominence, and
they are all violently opposed to bloom
ers or to any other ungraceful and I'M

skirt which drags through the mud

THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO
AUTHORS.

George Meredith, the novelist, is
making revision Of his own works
preparatory to the publication of a new
and complete edition Of them. Apro-
pos Of this fact the Boston Herald OBJ
served that sit would not be a bad
idea, after the death of Meredith, to
put this work into some competent
hand. A large portion of the reading
public which now knows little about
him might then find that there was
material III his novels to make him
one of the most fascinating writer's of
the present era"
From one of the leading journals in
the supposed center of American cul-
tfyation, this is a curiously Philistine
suggestion. 1t Is as If the Herald pro-
should repaint Monets pictures in
shades of brown and gray to make
them ineligible to the excellent peo-
pie who cannot see blue Mr. Meredith
is a gentleman of great ability, and If
his own revision Of his works does not
bring them within the average readers
comprehension, it is safe to assume
that he does not care to gain the aver
age readers ear. AS that Individual
is quite as Indifferent to Meredith as
Meredith Is to him, the person who I'M
dertook to bring the two together
would have a deservedly thankless
task. The cold-blooded proposal to
popularize Mr.. Meredith latter his
death" adds new terror to decease,
and the people who make a speciality
of righting wrongs should look to it
that no such dissertation ever takes
place. Intellectual body-sna tching is
on the whole more repugnant than it's
physical counterpart, and a mans i'm
mortal remains should be as safe from
the despoiler as his mortal relics

Confederates should the fate of war
throw them into their hands.
But the enlistment of colored men in
that department went rapidly on when
Banks superseded Butler. The en-
thusiastic abolitienists among our
troops testified to the loyalty and logic
of their convictions by taking COM
missions in and organizing the colored
men into companies and regiments A
strange sight it was, In the summer of
1863, to see the motley companies of
negroes in the great yards of the cot
ton presses in New Orleans. ragged,
awkward, uncouth5 going through the
drill of the soldier under the orders of
their white officers But their innate
sense of cadence and their docility
made them apt pupils in that school,
as their ready obedience to orders
made them good soldiers later. The
surprise came when circumstances put
these regiments in situations where
they must fight or run away. EN-
ployed for the greater part in garri-
son duty and, in campaigns, as train
guards and in engineer work, there
came occasions that tested their abil-
ity to fight. When Marmaduke swept
down the right bank of the Mississippi
he met repulse by the colored troops
that held the line at DonaldsonviIle
The colored brigade formed the right
of Banks line in the assault of June
IA, 1863, on Port Hudson, and made
three successive and unsuccessful
charges on the earthworks, feat that
few white regiments performed. The
last question of doubt was swept
away. 1t was demonstrated that the
negro soldier would fight and fight
well. Let an arch be raised to their
memory, for bravely they earned it.

p ssssssss
at least, and for how long we cannot
tell, all the articles for which you ex-
pend your wages will be rising in
price much faster and much sooner
than your wages themselves. You will
be the last man to get onto the band
wagon. You will have to run until you
are exhausted and out Of breath be-
fore you even catch up with it. The
prospect is that If you ever do over
take it you will drop dead of heart dis
ease by the time you get a seat.
This is not a heartening prospect to
set before the workingman, but it is
the exact and absolutely correct state
ment Of the case as contained In the
premises laid down by the silver men
themselves. With all the experience
of the past behind us, it is the most eX-
traordinary proposition that was ever
advanced by any set of men to ask the
laborer to vote for an act which will
certainly add to his cost of living,
while leaving him to fight unaided for
that uncertain, and, in any event, long
delayed increase in compensation that
would even leave him as we'll off as
before. He is to make the whole con-
tribution out of which the great for
tunes of millionaire owners of bullion
are to be built up. For every dollar
that some other man scales down the
debt that he owes, for all the vast
amount that the banks and other mon
eyed institutions of this country can
save by paying their creditors in
and blood.
We say without hesitation that If
such a proposition as the free coinage
of silver involves for the wOrkingmen
of this country were advanced by cap
italists and had behind it the support
Of that vague monster known as the
money power" the laboring men of
this country would be so incensed
ton against it. Nor could they be too
severely censured Let every man
who receives for his daily work a fixed
wage study this view Of the situation
without prejudice and without letting
1t become involved with any theories
of value or legislation. Let him sim
ply ask himself if he wants to make
the conditions of his life harder and
trust to chance, to the benificence Of
his employer or to the brute force of
strike to make himself once more
even as well off as he is today. If that
Is to him an alluring prospect he should
vote for free silver. If he does not
want to bear, in the diminished pur-
chasing power of his earnings, the
whole burden Of this experiment that
is to cost the country billions, he would
better get right out into the field and
hustle to secure payment for his ser
vices in a dollar of the highest pur-
chasing power known to the whole
world.
