SHERMAN'S WEAKNESS.
His Besetting Infirmity Crops Out In His
 Columbus Speech.

His Besetting Infirmity Crops Out In His
 Columbus Speech.
 Twice in the course of Senator Sher- mans speech at Columbus. O.. he utters the exploded falsehood that the decline i'll the value of silver was caused by the excessive quantity of silver produced relatively to the output of gold since 1873 We have repeatedly published ill The Journal the statistics showing that the number of ounces of silver produced between 1873 and 1896 throughout the world is exactly 161a to every ounce of gold produced i'll the same period. The rate of production for the whole 23 years. taken together, has been more exactly that required to maintain the ratio of 16 to 1 than it ever was before in the worlds history.
 The only cause for the depreciation in silver, therefore. is to be found in the adverse action of governments, and not in overproduction by the mines. MT. Sherman knows this, and, knowing it, his speech has that flavor of unscrupu- lousness about it which is Sherman 8 besetting infrmity. York Jour- nal.

A Tunnel Through Pixies Peak.

r It is reported that the actual work on
the tunnel through Pixies peak was be-
gun eight miles from the Cripple Creek
goldfield.l The work is done under con-
tract with the city of Colorado Springs,
and the tunnel is to run from Beaver
Creek canyon to West Beaver creek,
bringing the water down the canyon
and into the control of the waterworks
at Colorado Springs The tunnel is
II, 900 feet above the sea level and is to
be over a mile and half long. The
workmen will drill through solid gran
lite, and a tunnel 5 by feet will be
built. The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the work within two years.
The price to be paid is $40 per foot,
and at this rate it is estimated that the
work will cost $250,000. Workmen
have begun operations at both ends Of
the proposed tunnel Owing to the fact
that gold has been found in paying
quantities in SO many places near Grip
pie Creek, the contractors have great
expectations as to the result of boring
through Pixies peak, and sufficient
number of claims have been secured to
protect any find that may be made dur
ing the progress of the work. Railway

ors are dead and their contract with
them. Let this general theory be applied
to particular case: Suppose the annual
births in the state of New York to be
1904; the whole number of its inhab-
itants will be 617 ,703, of all ages OF
these. there would constantly be $780,
2S6 minors and 348, All adults, of
which last 174, 200 will be majority.
Suppose that majority, on the first day
Of the year 1884, had borrowed sum
of money equal to the fee simple value
of the state and to have consumed it in
eating, drinking and making merry in
their day, or, if you please, in quarrel
ling and fighting with their unoffend-
ing neighbors. Within 18 years and s
months one-haf of the adult citizens
were dead. Till then, being the major
ity, they might rightfully levy the in
terest of their debt annually Oh them
selves and their fellow jewellers or fell
low champions. But at that period (say
at this moment) new majority have
come into place in their own right and
not under the rights, the conditions or
laws of their predecessors. Are they
bound to acknowledge the debt, to
consider the preceding generation as
having had right to eat up the whole
soil of their country in the course Of
life, to ALLEVIATE it from them (for it
would be an alienation to the credi.
tors), and would they think themselves
either legally or morally bound to give
up their country and to emigrate to
another for subsistence? Every one will
say no; that the soil is the gift of God
to the living, as much as it had been to
the deceased generation and that the
laws Of nature impose no obligation on
them to pay this debt. And although.
like some other natural rights, this has
not yet entered into any declaration of
rights, it is no less law and Fought to
be acted on by honest governments. F"
