The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1896-04-25

Great progress has been made by the
politicians within the past year, and
even within the past three months IN the
presentation OF the currency issue.
Formerly the silver men were won't
merely to demand free silver coinage,
without specifying the ratio, and the OPP
ponents Of free coinage framed the most
honeyed and ambiguous circumlocutions
they could devise in defining their posi-
ton.
That phase OF the controversy is Tor
tunately about ended. This issue is be-
coming 80 clearly defined that the aver
age man can understand il. AZ long as
the talk was merely about an honest
dollar" or keeping all the dollars,
whether gold, silver or paper, at par
with each other, the subject was involved
In cloud OF evasions. TIE free coinage
champion was at liberty 60 affirm that
the silver dollar was an honest dollar,
and that, under free coinage, the gold,
the silver and paper dollars would con-
tinue at par with each other. One
would look through the party platforms
OF two or three years ago in vain Tor a
clear and straightforward declaration
against free coinage.
The free coinage men are entitled to
most OF the credit for bringing about this
change. They grew weary OF yerbiage
about bimetallism and friendship Tor
silver. They are putting their demands
ia definite form; they ask Tor free coin
age at 10 TO regardless Of the market
relations between the precious metals or
the actions OF other nations; and the
representatives OF the mining states
notify the country that they will sais-
port no party or candidate that is not
pledged to that policy.
The consequence is that the recent
state conventions OF the Republican
party. which outside OF n few OF the far
western states, has been but little In
iected with the free coinage delusion, and
some OF the Democratic conventions IN
the northeastern states, are now declar-
ing, in plain and unmistakable terms,
their opposition To Tree coinage ana their
determination to maintain the gold
standard. The verbisge about assuring
the parity OF the dollars and abont
bimetallsm is going out OF use. For the
Republicans the choice lies between
adopting a free-coinage platform, carry
ing the mining states and losing all the
states east OF the Mississippi river, or
a platform distinctly aud cquivocally
opposed TO free coinage with the chance
OF losing the silver states. A straddling
platform will not secure them the mining
states, and will be pretty sure to result
in the loss OF New England, New York
and some states farther west. We do
not regret that the issue is becoming
thus sharply defined. The question is
one that must be definitely settled before
the country can hope to see its business
prosperity restored upon substantial
foundations. -Sentinel.

new worlds may be formed. The distin-

the power of Niagara Falls to
Buffalo for industrial purposes has
been solved. Tomorrow at noon
hs power will make it's first en-
rance within the city gates, and
soon the street cars of the city
will be propelled by the giant
force. From the power house at
the falls cables are carried on
cedar poles, and through the city
they are laid ia oonduIts protected
by concrete. Should the experI
mental use OF the power by the
street railway company prove
satisfactory other contracts VIII
wlll follow as rapidly as the power
company can supply the energy.
The city has given q franchise
which compols the power company
to furnish 10000 horso power by
June 1. 1897 and to be prepared 10
furnish 10000 additional every
year for four successive years
thereafter.

European Cities VIII Use Electric Under
ground Railways.
When electric underground railroads
were first proposed in Europe, great pref
udice was created against them by the
emphasis laid by their opponents on the
danger and inconvenience Of carrying
crowds Of people down elevators into
the bowels Of the earth and the risss OF
being caught in an accident In tunnel
so feet below the surface OF the ground.
In this country this "hole in the ground
fallacy is still in use as warcry, bat
in Europe it has received its quietus
from the indisputable success Of the sys-
TEN Of underground electric traction.
When the facts and figures OF this
system are impartially considered, 1t is
hard 10 escape from the conviction that
it is the most sensible and effective So
luton Of the question Of rapid transit
fox large cities now in existence IL Is
said, in fact, that nearly all the large
capitals in Europe have now in oontem-
plation railroads of this description.
The new lines at Budapest have just
been opened. The cost Of the double
track road was s656, 900 per mile. The
average speed maintained, including
stoppages, is l1H miles an hour The
station platforms are from 10 to 10 feet
wide. The station walls are covered
with white glazed tiles. All the iron
parts throughout the tunnel are painted
a silver color, which reflects the light
and makes the tunnel as light as day.
In the hottest weather the cars are de-
lghtfully cool. One Of the most suggest
i've features Of the road is that IN the
morning and evening nearly every pas
senger is reading his daily paper, which
he does with all the comfort and ease OF
daylight conditions
Brussels is about TO lay down sys-
tenn of Greathead tunnels. The line will
run so feet below the surface and Will
be operated by electricity. The line is
to cost less than 81, 900, 900 per mile.

which will make collisions impossible
In London there are no fewer than six

actively pushed forward. The work Is
regularly progressing, unhindered by
any springs that may be encountered, as
the shield used in driving the tunnels IS

Of the tunnels will be 80 feet and the

summer. They will be dispatched at

Luther and Melanchthon were talking
together gloomily about the prospects Of
the church. They could see no hope Of
deliverance. After awhile Luther got
up and said to Melanchthon. Come.

Psalm, God is our refuge and strength
in every time Of trouble. >"
The Last wrestie.
Death to many, nay, to oil, is a
struggle and wrestle. We have many
friends whom it would be hard to leave,
care not how bright our future hope
is. It is bitter thing to look upon this
fair world and know that we shall new
er again see its blossoming spring, its
autumnal fruits, its sparkling streams
and to say farewell to those with whom
we played in childhood or counseled in
manhood. In that night, like Jacob, we
may have to wrestle, but God will not
leave us unblessed. 1t shall not be told
in heaven that dying soul cried unto
God for help, but was not delivered.
The lattice may be turned TO keep out
the sun or q book set to dim the light
Of the midnight taper. or the room may
be filed with the cries Of orphanage or
widowhood, or the church Of Christ
may mourn over our going, but il Jesus
