Show Windows.

1t is quite impossible to make sepa-
rate notices of all the show-window
displays of holiday goods. To say
that each of all is the best is to tell an
untruth in all except perhaps one in
stance. which is not reliable jour
nalism, and to attempt a different
construction of each is to undertake
one of the hardest tasks in the bust
ness.
One feature, however, is manifest
the displays made by advertisers in the
JOURNAL are far ahead of those who
don't. Enterprise, as we'll as blood,
will tell.

Awkward Attempt at Cunning.

Cncle sam says:
The JOURNAL admits the freight for hauling
it is S1.77 a ton, which is within three cents OF
being four times more than the miner gets
for digging the COAL granting the miner gets
As cents ton, even according to the JOUR
NAILS statement.
The JOURNAL does nothing of the
kind.
The freight rate was derived from
Uncle Sans own ez cothedrm statement
that
Miners get s12 for digging car of coal !;
railroads get sos for merely hauling it.
This unqualified statement, and this
alone furnished the basis for the JOUR
NAILS calculation.
The result proved conclusively that
Uncle Sam did not know anything of
the subject he or 1t was attempting to
treat, or he or it was quilting its gull
ible readers.
To make the matter plain beyond
dispute, let the reader look at Uncle
SANS unconditional statement again.
Miners get sl2 for digging car Of coal;
railroads get s5S for merely hauling it.
The first thing to do was to ascer-
tain how many tons of coal there are
in the car. This was done by dividing
$12 by the bnoecn rate for mining 10
cents result, 265 tons.
Next, by dividing $40, cost of car of
coal in Baltimore. by 26S, it was found
that the cost per ton there is $3.50.
Lastly, Uncle Sam either forgot, or
he did not know that "outside labor"
at the mine is paid at least 20 cents
per ton.
To find from Uncle Sans known and
unknown data the unknown freight
rate, it was necessary to state the ac
count as follows:
Cost, per ton, in Baltimore. .....s2s 50
Less mining. ........ ...............45
OUTSIDE LABOR ....................W
subsidy to railroads. ..........4O
lolal'. ............... 10
tncle San's balance for freight. Sill
To this the JOURNAL gave no assent,
express or implied.
Why?
Because if it had admitted Uncle
Sans statement and the infallible de-
auctions therefrom to be correct. it
would have confessed to be true one of
the biggest lies in this long age of in
veracity, namely-that our coal own
ers were selling their coal from 81 to IS
cents per ton below cost
But Uncle Sam must have known it
was disappearing the JOURNAL.
If it did, its 'initiative' is a bad
one.
If it did not, it is the sorriest
"reterendum" in the whole republic of
reterenda

no COINAGE At THE CARSON
MINT.

Under the direction OF Secretary
Carlisle the Director OF the Mint has
sent orders to the Superintendent OF
the mints at Philadelphia. New Or.
leans and San Francisco to resume tho
coinage OF silver dollars from tho bull
lion purchased under the act OF 1890.
The monthly coinage OF standard dol
lars is limited until further orders to
100000, divided between the three
mints rs follows: Philadelphia, $780,.
900; New Orleans, s500,O0o; San Fran
cisco, 100000.
The Carson mint is not included
among those which are to the
coinage Of silver. That institution,
owing to the peculiar methods intro
duced there some years ago, does not
seem to be in high favor Mt Washing
ton. To the fact that $4,000 wa
stolen from the Government by those
sworn to protect the public property
Mt the Carson mint may now be at
tributed the other fact that it has not
been ordered to resume the coinage of
silver. Nor were the thieves who had
access to the gold and silver belong
ing to tho Government satisfied with
what they could steal from the Unit.

plundered depositors. The amount
which they stole from those who con-
iided bullion to their are will never
be known except to themselves, un
less some N in the secret, stricken
by remorsc, should make it public.
The resumption oi coinage at Car.
son would give employment to about
sixty persons and would result in m
expenditure OF several thousand dol.
lars monthly among the business men
OF the town. That would be prefer
nble to the honest people Of the COM.
