NEW YORK, July l6.-A dispatch from
San Francisco received in New York says:
On orders from Washington the coinage
OF silver at the mint In this city will be
resumed at once These orders, follow
Ing so closely the nomination Of Bryan at
Chicago, are believed to have political
Significance. In the last year little silver
has been coined here. Now, according to
the plans of the treasury officials, the Pa
cific coast is to bc deluged with silver.
1t is the belief here that the admins
tration has two objects in view-to dis
prove the bimetallists' claim that there
is not enough silver in circulation, and
to divert 80 much silver coin into the
channels of trade as to make business men
heartily Disguised with the cumbersome
coin.

Daggett I'VE will do better than that

Not In the Field for Secretary Of the
Treasury Under Bryan.
DENVER, July l6.-Henry NJ. Teller
will go back to the United States senate
despite the result Of the presidential elec.
ton. This much was decided on Tuesday
afternoon at a meeting of the leading
manipulators Of the state who were anx-
ious to ascertain where Teller stood in the
campaign. He was rendered the election
of governor or whatever he would allow
his name to be used for. He declined all,
and added that he was not in the field
for secretary of the treasury under Bryan,
conceding the election OF the silver ticket.
He finally consented to define his posi-
ton by saying that he would like to con-
tinue In the senate until he saw silver
bill passed that would secure his vote.
With free coinage again restored he was
willing to retire to private life with his
life's mission accomplished. He further
declined to be identified in any
way with state politics, and ex-
pressed n preference for the eastern field,
where he hoped his voice would render
more effective service to the cause than by
staying here. Teller will not permit the
use Of his name at the st. Louis Populist
and silver convention.

content as was.
How true it is that happiness is al
together relative, and that it is divided
much more evenly among men than we
are willing to believe! A mere respite
from an intolerable position, a single
book to keep the mind from cracking,
transformed gloom and misery into light
and at least comparative happiness.
After time I began to watch the ef-
feet Of the unnatural life upon others.
They arrived full Of resolution, buoyed
often by hopes which they were soon
destined to find delusive. The short time
men, those with seven or ten year SEN
fences, could face the prospect hopefully.
To them the day would come when the
prison gate must swing back and the
path to the world be open once more.
But no such hope cheers the long timers,
the men with 20 years and life, who
quickly learn how great the proportion
is Of their number who find relief only
in the box smeared with black which
incloses what is left Of them in the
grave. Every day used to see the eff
fects on them Of hunger and torment of
mind. The first part visibly affected
was the neck The flesh shrinks, disap-
pears and leaves what looks like two ar
tlficial props to support the head. As
time wears on the erect posture grows
bent. Instead Of standing up straight
the knees bulge outward as though un-
able to support the body's weight, and
the man drags himself along in kind
Of respondent shuttle.
