Having a Merry Time.
From the New York Post Qnd.).

The southern republicans are having
the merriest time they have enjoyed for
years in getting ready for a national con-
vention. Nearly every state has its bolt

and the charges of bribery and fraud,
and angry complaints that presumably
honest men are refusing to stay bought"
fill the air The pinch of the fight will
come of course, in the committee on Gre

he is going to control that, and that the

bers and with loud outcries. 1t is said
that the thrifty delegates and contest
ants are discounting this possibility, and
insisting upon advance money in I'M
usually large sums so as to be prepared
for the worst. The candidates, the con-
Vention, and the country would also do
well to be prepared for the worst.

In a speech at Des AIoines one day last
week, Gen. James B. Weaver, ex-pop-
ulist candidate for the presidency, de-
clitred that he was more than gratified
at the increasing prospect that there
would be- splits in both of the old parties
on the money question, which splits
would add to the ranks and force of the
populist party. There are some professed
democrats in this state who are work
ing mighty hard to have things go as
Weaver and the populists would be de-
lighted to see them go.

The weather Signal Service.

During the month of February at least
three more or less severe cold waves
swept over the country. Speaking of the
cold waves the other day. Chief Moore of
the signal service said he calculated that
the warnings given by the service of the
approach of these particular waves had
saved TO the agricultural interests not less
than $4,000. The probabilities are that
he is right. and that his estimate is con-
servative. Sections in which there are sig
nal stations. or which are reached quickly
by daily newspapers, had as much as
twentyfour hours warning of the APP
proach Of a change TO a freezing tempera-
ture. and planters and growers had time
TO take steps to shelter tender vegetation.
Reports from Louisiana go to show that
the sugar cane crop has not been in the
least hurt by cold this year. Records of
ten to fifteen years ago show that about
one crop in four. was seriously damaged.
if not destroyed. by unexpected cold waves.
Under the present service of the signal
bureau the sugar growers are warned and
take preventive measures in time to avert
injury to the new crop. And what is true
of the cane growing interests is true also
of truck growing, in which this section is
especially interested. 1t is beyond question
a fact that truck growers in this county
have been saved large sums by the wealth
err forecasts.
Cold wave predictions. as valuable as they
are, are hardly more important than the
storm predictions of the service. Since the
great cyclone Of three or four years ago,
more Importance than ever before is at
tached to the red flags Of the signal sta
tons. Ships remain in port while
the flags are up, and persons
of all walks of life take due
notice of the signals and govern them
selves accordingly. 1t has come to be I'M
derstood that the signal service is not a
guessing bureau. 1t covers a vast expanse
of territory, and draws it's conclusions
from scientific data and after calculations
upon scientific principles.
In so far as the gathering of data and
calculating of forecasts are concerned,
the service is well advanced. But there is
still much to be desired in the way of dis
tributing information. Recently a plan of
sending out warnings of extraordinary
meteorological changes to come, by flags
on steamboats, and railway trains, has
been put into effect, and it seems to be
working well. BY these means news is cir
culated widely and promptly in commun-
tiles which heretofore have been obliged
to take the weather "as they found it,
Expert ingenuity is at work to devise
means for still further and more quickly
disseminating the weather predictions 1t
is a great and good work, and should have
the unstinted assistance Of congress.

1t behooves all persons who buy and
sell, and weigh and measure, to brush
themselves up in mathematics generally
and the metric system especially. The
House committee on weights and meas
ures has ordered favorably reported the
bill fixing the standard of weights and
measures by the adoption of the metric
system. Beginning July l, 1898, it is pro
posed that the system shall be used by
the government in the transaction of all
of its business requiring weights and
measures, and that on July l, 1901, it shall
be extended to the people at large Under
our present system-or rather lack of sys-
tem-of weights and measures there are
several kinds of pounds, and feet, and
miles, and other denominations Of quanti-
" and area, in use. The adoption of the
metric system will do away with the con-
fusion arising from this source.

Good Advice to Voters.
From the Valdosta (Ga) Times Oem).

When a candidate for congress comes
round, pats you on the back, and asks
for your vote ask him if he is in favor
of sound money. He may say yes when
coinage of so cents worth of silver on
equal terms with 100 cents worth of gold.
In other words, if he favors the free and
ratio Of Is to i, when the Commercial
ratio is 80 to l. Then you will uncover
him. If he is in favor of such coinage
he is in favor of an unSound currency,
and is opposed to making every dollar in
circulation as good as gold dollar.
Don't let him fool you. There are slick
ducks on the hunt for office this year.
BE on your guard.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Free Silver and the Debtor.
From the Augusta Herald Oem).

The free coinage of silver at 16 to l.
would ruin every debtor in this country.
No banks, no lenders would grant renew
ais of debt, save as a gold debt or its
equivalent. The debtors property would
be sold, in a time of panic, to pay his debts.
This is the way in which debtors would be
benefited by the free coinage of silver at
16 to l.

sequence considerable business was

AS a general rule the quotations
were higher than for several days past;
especially was this the case in Mer-
cur stocks, which fully recovered from
its recent slump, and went upward
with sky-rocker velocity.
AS has been stated before in these
columns, there has been no valid or
good reason for the decline in Mer-
cur quotations, and those who pre-
dicted that this stock would go down
10 Sc, and who sold at $625 and even
lower in anticipation of buying later
on at this figure. were badly left. IN
fact, it has since transpired that they
sold short, and yesterday they made

THE MONTE cRIsTo GROUP.
Is Showing Up Fine Bodies of GOLD
Hearing Ores.

Is Showing Up Fine Bodies OF Uoi0
Bearing Ores.
Manager J. G. Rush, manager of the
Monte Cristo group of mines, came in
from Mercur last night, accompanied
by his brother, Peter Rush.
Manager Rush, when seen by a Her
old representative last night, was IN
high spirits over the promising condl-
ton of the property over when ne
presides, and is more than sangulne
that it will soon develop into as big
and as paying a proposition as there
is to be found in that region.
The Monte Cristo group of claims IS
owned by the Monte Cristo Gold Min
ing and Milling company. 1t is To-
Gated in Ophir district and adjoins
Colonel Wallis Cedar Hills group of
mines on the north. When the COM
pany took hold of this property in De-
cember last, the face of a hundred
foot tunnel mad just opened out into
ore. Since then the tunnel has been
extended thirty-fve feet and a cross
cut run for thirty-seven feet, all in
ore which assays from 60 cents to So
in gold. and after Mr.. Rush's arrival
last night it was decided to do an
other hundred feet of work, in the pro-
secution of which two shifts will be
employed next Monday morning.
For a prospect this is a magnificent
showing, and if the next hundred feet
uncovers additional ore bodies, and
values increase with depth, there can
be nothing that will prevent the Monte
Cristo from taking it's place among the
producers of the camp.
The ore so far exposed is very SINH
lar in appearance to the Mercur ores,
being a grey quartz, free from spice
or base metal, that can be successfully
treated by the cyanide process Ac-
cording to Mr.. Rush, the formation
differs a little from that at Mercur,
the hanging wall being tall with thin
layer of quartz between it and the ore.
AS for the foot wall the formation is
still a matter of conjecture, as is has
not yet been cut.
The Omaha mine is located mile
and a half south Of the Monte Cristo.
Steady work is going on in this pro-
perty, and Mr.. Rush states that within
the last few days the ore bodies in
this property have greatly improved
in appearance and it is believed that
when fire tests have been made upon it
they will show better values.
Mr. Rush is highly impressed with
the mineral worth of the western foot
hills country, and predicts that it will
turn out to be the richest portion of
the district.
