The washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune makes known the fact
that the treasury officials. in an effort
to still further restrict the use OF coined
silver or the demand for it, have adopt
ed the policy Of making the new silver
certificates of small denominations. In
this way the requirements OF business
for change" is supplied without the
necessity Of drawing silver dollars from
the treasury. The demand for coined
dollars In exchange for Sherman notes
has caused the starting Of the minis
and the turning out Of 100000 white
dollars in the past two months for the
purpose OF keeping up a supply to meet
such demands. 1t is thought that the
small denomination certificate viii OBJ

this, to Mr. Carlisle, very undesirable
proceeding. No stone is being left un-
turned to keep silver down.

Dispatches were recently sent out
from Hill city relating to the fight over
the postof1ce there, which it is said
are erroneous. At any rate. The Journal
has received the following letter from
Hill city.
cit is the desire Of the entire busi-
ness fraternity Of this city that you
publish our denial Of above article as
follows:
''First-It is not true that at any time
during our difficulty over the postOhce
a riot was threatened or seemed inmi-
nent.
"second-That the people did not or
game in the night and forcibly carry
the records from A1illbrook and com
pei the county officers to accompany
them. The records were moved in the
daytime after an election had been duly
called and voted upon.
'+Third-It is not true that the princi-
pal street of the town has been the dead
line between the two rival factions.
The Pomeroy portion of the town is 10
Gated on Pomeroy avenue, nearly q
quarter Of a mile from the main street.
"Fourth-It is not true that fifty Of
the POmeroy faction appeared at the
pOstOfHce and moved 1t across the
street. A few men came about 10
o'clock p. m, with dray and hauled
it over to Pomeroy avenue.
"Fifth-It is not true that a posse or
gained to move it back and it is not
true that the outcome is in the least
threatening. Tt is true that an indig-
nation meeting was held and resolu-
tons passed condemning the actions
Of Pomeroy and his agents in making
war upon the main part Of town and
robbing them Of public conveniences.
