UNANSWERABLE.

We have already given due attention
to the question raised by a eorrespen-
dent, who writes to us from Britton,
S. D. The argument from the Mexican
dollar seems to us to be absolutely un-
answerable. If the explanation of this
gentleman were true, that this dollar
circulates at its bullion value in the
United States only because it is not
legal tender money here, how does 1t
happen that American silver dollars,
which are of lighter weight, circulate
at their face value, and are exchange
able for two Mexican dollars in Mex
leo, where they are not legal tender?
There is only one possible explana-
ton Of this phenomenon, which is that
there is a gold dollar behind the Amer
lean silver dollar and the promise of
this country to maintain the parity of
the metals, while behind the Mexican
dollar there is nothing bat the bullion
within it.
Answering the question of our CORE
spondent directly, we would say that if
the United States should pass an act
making Mexican dollars a full legal
tender for all debts in the United
States, they would fall to their bullion
value just the same. You might not
be able to buy them for so cents, be-
cause their depreciation would not be
measured by fall in their price, prob
ably, but rather by an appearance of
be different in degree only from the
passage of free coinage act, because
there are not so many Mexican dollars.
and not so large coinage facilities in
that country as would appear here
under the proposed system But when
ever and wherever there Is unlimited
coinage of silver, at false
ratio, such coins, If there is
no gold behind them, and no prom
Use to maintain their value on a par
with gold, will either depreciate in
circulation or will bring into existence
a premium on gold.
The second question Of Mr.. Wells is
not, of course, asked seriously, and
therefore serves only the purpose of
showing how peculiar ideas of equity
and justice sometimes obtain among
the free coinage advocates. This gen
tleman, for instance, asks why num-
Der of people, who are indebted to the
workingmen, widows and orphans of
this country ito the amount of hun
dreds of millions Of dollars, do not
voluntarily agree to pay out twice
what they receive. That Is to say,
after a set of agitators have Sc
cured legislation that would cut in two
the purchasing power of all the dol
lars that they would take in in the
course of their business, he asks why
they do not save others from loss by
paying out a dollar twice as valuable

Likely BE Continued Week.

The examination Of Rev. J. G. Hull,
who Is now in the county Jail charged
with having administered poison to
his wife is set for this morning at 9
o'clock in the police court. There is,
however, every reason for the state
ment that another continuance will be
asked for by the prosecution. The con-
tinuance will be asked for on the
ground that Mrs. Hull Is in such
weakened condition that it would be
impossible for her to attend court and
stand the strain Of q long examination
on the witness stand. Her attorney,
o. B. Lewis, is also out of the city. and
while that gentleman would not be of
any great assistance to the prosecution,
he has intimated that he was DESTROYS
of being present when the examination
took place.

evening. said 1t was very probable
that the case would be continued an

Washington, March 1S.-Secretary
Carlisle is a candidate for the presi-

will soon be made by one of the Sec

his determination within a short time.
Although Secretary Olney's name has
been considered with favor by Demo-
cratic leaders, it is known that he
does not desire the nomination. 1t is
undoubtedly true that MI. Carlisle's
candidacy will have the support of
MI. Cleveland and the members of the
cabinet. He will go before the con

I. W. Lydecker, the pigeon fancier,
is rejoicing in the recovery of a valu-
able homing bird, which vas returned
to him in q somewhat strange manner
Last June Mr.. Lydecker sent out sew
en- carrier pigeons to Ashland, Ore, to
be flown from there to their loft IN
Alameda. The birds oriented in a
STOW storm, and five of them, who
were old-time flyers, found their way
home. About q month ago LyGcckef
received a letter from w. w. Brother
ton, a prominent attorney and bird
fancier of Portland. Mr.. Bretherton
stated that a curbstone broker named
j. Henderson had offered to sell him
a carrier pigeon for $50. The lawyer
concluded that the pigeon was n of
Lydecker's missing birds, and wrote
to him to inform him as to the where
al,outs Of the flyer.
Lydeckcr answered the letter, say
ing that, while he valued the bird
greatly, he had more of the same
breed and did not care to pay $50 for
his own property. While Mr.. Hender-
son was waiting for a reply to the at
torney's letter, the pigeon, whose
name is Humboldt, got away from
him and was found by another man
who, strangely enough, also offered
the bird for sale to Mr.. Bretherton.
Again did the attorney write to Mr..
Lydecker, who returned to him a re-
ply similar to that he had sent regard
ing Henderson. The second finder of
the pigeon wrote to the owner, saying
that lie could have his bird provided
he paid the expenses of transportation
from Portland to Alameda. This Mr..
Lydecker agreed to do, and Humboldt
arrived on Thursday last. Although
the bird had been sent away from the
loft more than eight months ago, he

OLDEST PAPER N AMERICA

KamlO0ps Wayva the Ma me, to Teach

The Queerest little sheet in the
world, both in name. and in purpose. is
that published under the title of the
Kamloops Wawa.
Kamloops is the anle of the town
in British Columbia from which this
odd periodical halls, and it's mission is
to teach the Indians Of the country
English ly means Of the Wawa sys-
tenn Of shorthand. which the editor
confidently claims is hi easiest sys-
tenn known to man.
To suhstantiate the statement. the
New Year number announces that,
since it's birth, in 1891, 1000 Indians
have learned to read and write by its
aid, and, furthermore, that the pencils
of 100000 people throughout the
world are scratching away for dear
life to master its rules.
But when the announcement is
made that it lean be learned in from
one to three hours without a teacher"
there is small wonder at it's popular
ity.
The January NUMBER or THIS yea Is
really a very handsome bit of typog-
raphy, and shows a tremendous ad-
vance over the crude work Of the
first number issued.
The Kamloops Wawa, however, has
one point in common with other pa
pers not devoted to such a worthy
object, and in stating it, the editor un-
consciously shows up one more weak
ness which the red man shares with
some Of his white brothers.

EPISODE.

Reinr Sensible Girls, Not Jealous Of
Each Other, They Are Still
Friends.
They had only me- that afternoon
he and she, but their pleasure seemed
mutual. So, when the party, which
numbered half q dozen, started for the
train, he went along to see them on.
She had another girl friend, who
walked with them. Now, the traln
was late, and waiting in a depot IS not
very exciting even in the nos con
genial company. So the party au-
joMrned to the opposite side OF tue
track, which is boarded by a renee.
In girlish giddiness, she determined
to sit OIL the fence to watch the 'ra1l
come in. The young lady friend wno
was standing at her right tried 10 ols-
suade her, but in vain. She Would sls
on the fence, and she did SO: VI
course, the young man had to hoid her
on, but, as she wore a cape, TINS was
not noticed by the rest of the group.
Now, no sooner had his arm been
placed through hers than he felt ms
hand gripped tightly by q soft litue
hand in q manner which sent q Thrill
through his manly frame. he was
surprised, but he didn't obtect-quite
the contrary. He also did some
squeezing on his own account, at ev-
ery little auip Of jest, which. were be
ing passed around profusely, getting
in an extra pressure.
And 1t went on until the train came
in sight. Then, in order to arrange her
hat, and, do it most conveniently, she
threw back her cape, and, 10! III saw
the hand Of her friend OF the after-
noon clasped tightly in that OF her as
tonished girl chum.
the trio would be hard to tell-the
fellow who had his hand squeezed by
the wrong girl, the girl who. did not
have her hand squeezed, or the girl
who did the squeezing, thinking that
it was her chum's hand.-Roxbury

Charxed with Counterfeitine

st. Joseph, Mo-, March 10. The
United States authorities here to-day
arrested W. L. Pease and wife, charg-
ing them with counterfeiting. Pease
was arrested at the Burlington freight
Office, where he appeared to claim a
box shipped from Omaha to William
Herb. This box was seized and
opened. 1t proved to contain a guam
tity OF tools and paraphernalia for the
molding of metal and half a bushel of
spurious dollars and half-dollar pieces.
The counterfeits were very clever.
His wife was arrested at a boarding
gouse, and there, too, the officers
found a quantity of the counterfeit
money.
