THE MALAD AUTOMATON.

ihe hlalau enterprise is one OF the
bright journals that is sending bril-
liant, meteoric flashes of intelligence
across the financial sky. 1t has a
few editorial squibs which are mas
tcrly in argument and crush silver
facts rs if they were egg shells. As
they are the kernels of more elabor-
ate argument in larger gold journals,
few of them will be interesting:
If the government stamp makes the
dollar why not use leather? Every
farmer has COW or two that has gone
dry.
We have no doubt that if the gov.
eminent stamp were socked onto II
piece of leather, and the edct given
that it should pass as legal tender,
it would pass, but there is no one
who thinks such crude material is fit
for money From the nature and
uses of medium of exchange of
values everyone in general comedies
that it should posses the qualities of
Indestructibility, ductility, malleabil-
ity, luster and that degree of scarcity
that the cupidity of man cannot OBJ
tain an over supply. These qualities
can only come from something of a
metallic character The only two
metals which possess them are gold
and silver, which have them exactly
alike, differing only in color, and
both together do not furnish the vol
nme required to do the business and
have to be supplemented with treas
ury notes and private paper based
upon them. Where the Enterprise
sees any similarity in the money
qualities of silver and leather we
don't know. Coming from any other
source than the Enterprise that thing
would sound extremely silly.
If this government can legislate value
to silver, what would prevent its legislat-
ing value to personal checks? The editor
of this paper could then issue his personal
check for million dollars and-and-

The government don't need to leg
islate value to silver, it has natural
value for money because it has the
money qualities above mentioned.
All the government needs to do is to
recognize those qualities and adopt
it as Il legal medium of exchange
That may be called legislating value
if any one desires, it will not change
the beneficial results obtained. No
one wants the government to attempt
to legislate money nature into
that don't posses it, That
would be impossible. Government
cannot change nature. No one claims !

THINKS WE'LL OLE QlIRnI.

The Kctchum Keystone, bright
populist paper and one of the state $
best journals, had the following in
one issue:
Some of our worthy contemporaries who
have been rdiculing Senator Dubois have
suddenly quit pOlliug fun at Fred. Won
der if that manifesto shut EN- up?
The Wood River News Miner read
that and said:
Freddy is good on manifestoes. Now
let him issue that manifesto of his giving
his reason why the populst party is not
Il silver party, and why he can never affi-
late with it,
TO this the Keystone replies:
It's not fitting time to cavil about
party affiliations 1t matters not what
reflection Mr. Dubois has cast upon the
populst party in the past; lhlre ARE men
in our own community who were, and
are now for that matter antagonistic to
the pupuli>t party, but are today good

the ihry irot indicting him.

He mentions two of the largest commission
firms, in the city witiI-New York stock

on the jump all day long. Those who
wanted to go AID did not have the neces-
sary cash right at hand mad their entries
SO as TO insure their not getting left
when they wanted the tickets this after
noon or tomorrow.
About an even hundred broke away in
the first bunch last uight. leaving town
on the night trains for New York and
Philadelphia. Some few took the train
for New Orleans, but the game there Is
such a stiff one that not many OF the
regular members of the talent cared to
take any part of 1t.
Among those who left town last night for
the East were: Jack and Bueu white,
Charley Diamond, Abe Carson, Ike Hakei-
berg. George Grice, Lew Gilbert, Jake
London, Cap" Cauffmann, William Den

In addition to these there viii be a hest
of them W no w,llieave today y and tomorrow.
Some few are going cut to st. Louis to
have a try at the game there, while others
will keep on until they get to California.
The racing out there will continue through
out the winter, and then they Will come
back to the board OF control tracks in
the East.
So far none of TIE horses have been
shipped. Indeed the number that will
leave the across Tie river tracks is very
few. Sportsman's Park, st. Louis, is the
only place where they can race, and re-
ports from there state that there are already
so many horses Chartered there that one
half of them are starving
1t is tie same thing everywhere. There
Is no place where they can 90. The only
thing remaining for them is TO stay where
they are and wait for something to turnup
How many OF them will last The winter
through is hard 10 say. Many are now Sc
deeply in debt for feed bills and living cs-
pens.s for the stable hands that they are
almost under water and they will not last
long u nder the pressure.
1t il q pitiable thing to contemplate. AT
q rough estimate there are something over
a thousand horses ut the two tracks. These
are looked after by between six and eight
hundred trainers. stable hands, jockeys, etc.
As it was all that many of them could do
when the races were going on every day
TO get hold of n little money how much
harder it will be while there is nothing
doing.
SUFFERING AMONG THE MEN.
The horses will cat their heads off until
the feed men refuse TO furnish them with
the necessary oats and hay TO keep them
alive when they will be sold for mere
pitance at auction sales. With the men
things will be Just as bad. Grocerymen and
produce dealers no matter how KIND
hearted they may be, cannot go on supply
ing food forever without receiving some
thing in return and they will have to shut
down the supply.
Last winter when racing was stopped for
only one month, reports that were heart
reDding We're continually reaching the city
from the track OF the sufferings Of man and
