delicate Surgical Operation.

Last week DIR. Pilkington performed
the most delicate operation known in
surgery. The operation consisted of cnt-
ting open Lee Perrin's eye ball and ex-
tracing the lens and also clearing out a
comparatively large pus abcess in inter-
ior of eye. The trouble was caused by a
piece of exploding gun cap some 5 weeks
ago, and was aggravated by another ac-
cident which occurred during his sleep.
DR.. Pilkington did not expect the opera
ton to restore sight, but did it with the
hope of saving the other eye which was
threatened with sympathetic trouble,
also to relieve the agonizing pain. The
good eye is now out of danger, the pain
has all gone, and there is some prospect
for very dim sight in the affected eye.

THE GOLD STANDARD.

The fact cannot be too often re-
peated that the declaration of the
Republican party in favor of the
gold standard simply means the
maintenance of thing that already
exists. It is the free silver people,
says the Globe Democrat, who pro-
pose to make change and establish
a new standard. They are against
the present currency system, and
anxious to substitute for it one un-
der which a different kind of money
would be used for the payment of
debts and wages and the transaction
of the country's business. The Re-
pnblicans believe in keeping things
as they are in that respect. That
Is to say, they hold that we now
have sound and satisfactory money,
and that it would be foolish and dis
astrous to throw away this advan-
tage. 1t is not proposed to eliminate
silver from the currency and prevent
its use for commercial purposes, but
only to so limit the amount of it that
it can circulate freely at par with
gold. Any intelligent voter can
readily comprehend the distinction
and the reason for making it. We
have absorbed as much silver as we
can carry with safety, and the Re-
publicans are opposed to an increase
of 1t that would inevitably unsettle
values, depreciate the currency, and
force us at an inferior standard.
1t is not true, as the free silver
orators practically assert, that the
Republican party is seeking to make
gold the only form of money in the
country. On the contrary, it mere
ly insists that other forms of money
shall be kept as good as gold. There
should be no objection to that from
any man who has the prosperity and
welfare of the country at heart.
There cannot be two standards of
value at the same time, and the Re-
publicans contend that the one
which now exists, and which is
known to be safe, should mol be ex-
changed for ore that would be un-
safe and in every way mischievous.
The silver element now in the cur
rency is freely accepted because it is
on parity with gold, and the Re-
publicans wish to continue it in SER
vice on that basis; but they are
against the free and unlimited coin
age of it because that would destl oy
the parity and food the country with
deprecated circulation. 1t is not
a question of dispensing with the use
of silver, but of adapting the volume
OF it to the conditions which govern
its value. The limit of safety in the
coinage of such money has been
reached, and the Republican party
says that we should have no more of
it when the result would certainly be
a stupendous misfortune. That is
what is meant, and all that is meant,
by the maintenance of a gold stand

 Justice Johnstone curious case wherein Bernardo Lambaye is accused
 by his brother Joe of stealing water. Both are farmers on the south side of the river, across from Phoenix, and owners in the Monmonier ditch, which is dry save only in time of extra abun- dance. To eke out the dry season Joe Lambaye rented water from Worm ser's San Francisco ditch, turning it Into the Monmonier ditch for carriage to his ranch. Bernardo, who lives nearer the head of the ditch than does his brother, had been appropriating the flow, says Joe, and hence very pretty family quarrel.
