CHIEF JUSTICE slosLow's VIEWS.
Hevads's Great Juri-t Says Free Coinage
VIII Injuro Silver Miners. Pensioners
and All hat "a Few Debtors


and All bat "a Few Debtors
Chief Justice X. II. Bigelow Of the
supreme court OF Nevada had letter i'm
a recent issue 81 the Reno New. GA
zette which states some Of the effects of
10 20 free coinage very clearly Here
is part Of his letter:
II is not 10 be denied that the Repub-
licans Of this state are hard hit by the
action of the ST. Louis convention upon
the monetary question. The free coinage
of silver is believed 10 be SO much 10
the advantage Of Nevada as a silver
producer, and we have for so many
years heard nothing but free coinage
"at 10 to /" arguments, that we have
almost come 10 the conclusion that no
one can {, nix otherwise who is not a
scoundrel bought with British gold.
But there is another side to the question
that is believed in sincerely by millions
of as pure patriots as any who believe
in free coinage of silver. Any man who
says that this country can alone double
the value of all the silver of the world
and bring it and gold TO par is either
ignorant of the lessons of the past or he
willfully shuts his eyes TO them. II the
free silverites carry the election this fall
on their l6 TO l platform, il will not
only paralyze business-it will utterly
destroy it, There will be scarcely a
bank or business house in the land that
will not go down before the storm. 1t
will send gold TO almost 100 per cent
premium, and, as measured with silver,
everything else will go up in value with
it, but as it will take twice as many
dollars as now to buy the same article
it will be of no earthly advantage TO
any one except TO the man who owes
debts that lie has not promised to pay
in gold. His silver dollars will pay such
debt just as during the war green
backs would pay one, although worth
but 83 cents on the dollar, but they
will only buy half as much flour or
clothing or groceries as now.
But if he owes money to banks or
money lenders-and whodoes not?-who
have all protected themselves by gold
contracts, he will have TO take two of
his silver dollars to buy one in gold, and
at the same time, owing to the general
stagnation in business, they will be
harder to get hold of than gold dollars
are now. 1t will be Of no advantage to
the silver states because their silver will
be just as hard to get from the ground as
now, and pound of it will buy no more
steel or powder or any of the necessaries
of life than now.
But the laboring man will be the one
who will suffer the most. The Comstock
miner will still get 81 per day, the la
borer 81 and the clerk 500 to SO pei
month. but ii will he in silver. and. a,

70 WASH THE BLOOD.
Simple Salt and Water Injection In Place

Washing the blood is the latest rem
edy for diseases brought ON by or caus-

OF the blood. The washing process is
performed by plain salt and water.
From a pint to two quarts of water 10
injected into the system by means Of IN
ordinary hypodermic syringe.

patient with the usual antiseptic pre-
cautions and the salt water injected in

Washing the stomach, a. practiced by
several New York physicians, 10 Of very
recent origin and is considered invalu-
able in cases Of indigestion. A simple
bath OF warm water is often all that is
necessary to restore the stomach TO its
normal condition by removing the
poisonous waste products which are not
profusely thrown off by the secretory
organs. By means Of a soft rubber tube
put down the throat water can be poured
into the stomach and siphoned out
again. To wash the blood is, Of course,
more difficult, as the water has TO be
injected into vein.
1t is well known that the blood of "a
frog can be drawn off and the blood of
another frog substituted without greatly
mountaineering the creature. 1t was
then found that salt water solution
can be substituted instead Of blood, to q
considerable extent, at least, and the
frog will live and be as sprightly as
ever. This fact first gave the scientists
the idea Of injecting an artificial serum
into the veins of human being, either

AMERICAS COMMON ROADS.

Statistics Which Show That Cheap High
ways Are the Most Costly Kind.
The total length of the common roads
in this country. good, bad and indiffer-
ent, is estimated by Gen. Stone of the
road bureau Of the department of agri-
culture at something over 1900, 900
miles. The majority of these roads have
been opened by common laborers hired
by local supervisors and no engineer
ing principles have been observed in
their construction. AS a result it costs
more to keep them in repair than if
they were as many finely macadamized
roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair
and opening new thoroughfares cost
Massachusetts, in 1898, outside of cities,
81, 1S6, 944, or $500 per mile; New
York. $4,000, 600, or $50 per mile, and
New Jersey, SITS, 407 80, or $43.25 per
mile. The total expenditure for roads
in that year amounted to about $40, O00,
900. AS a greater part of the enormous
sum was spent in repairing poorly con-
strueted roads that would need exactly
the same attention next year, it is not
an exaggeration to say that most of the
money was wasted.
Fine roads can be constructed all the
way from $500 to $500 per mile, accord
ing to the nature of the country through
which they pass, the cost of crushed
stone and other engineering problems.
The cost of keeping these roads in re-
pair is infinitely smaller than that re-
quired to repair the ordinary dirt roads
each winter and spring, when great
gulleys and ruts are washed into them
by the rains and floods. The secret of
the success of the fine roads in France
is attributed to the prompt and systema-
tic repairs made at all seasons of the
observation-disclosures.
