Later developments in the Thorn

wife did not attempt to compromise
the criminal action against her hus-
band. After his arrest Thornton
sought his wife and begged for one
more chpnce. promising that " he vas
allowed TO do 20 he wouli prove TO her
satisfaction that he was honest in his
desire for reformation. Woman-like,
she consented and promised not to ap
pear and testify against him unless
forced to do so. Thornton also gave
his wife the farm which he had agreed
to do some months previously, but
which promise he attempted to evade
upon his arrival in the territory. At
the time tins seemed TO be satisfactory
to all concerned, but the next morning,
for some reason, the county OH ,ials
concluded that the interests OF justice
would be best conserved by the prose
cution Of Thornton and Emma Payne
s.sud their cases were continued until
I thursday morning for that purpose.

AS a third means of economy the car
riage of merchandise through the Unit
ed States mails should cease. 1t is
high time that the government quit
taking parcels of everything, from
young trees to bottled snakes, and car
rying them from one end of the country
to the other as mail matter" We
should have a parcel post for small
packages, as they do in other coun-
tries, and all matter above certain
standard of size and weight should be
turned over to the regular express COM
panies, which alone are fitted to look
after it, Given these three amend
ments, the abolition of the franking
privilege, the restriction Of mail rates
for daily publications and periodicals
to those alone and the doing away with
merchandise traffic through the mails,
would put the postal department on
self-sustaining basis and give us a
promise of immediate reduction in let
ter rates. This matter is sufficiently
close to the people to warrant the hope
that they will soon insist upon it.

THE NSHERMANS" AND "SEIGNIOR-
AGE"

The director of the mint reports the
coinage for the fiscal year closing with
last June of 21,2O3,7O1 standard silver
dollars, an increase that began in Feb
ruary, 1895, and has averaged about
a million and a half since. The coin
age had practically ceased in May,
1898, when but 145 dollars were struck,
and was resumed in July, 1894, during
which ensuing fiscal year about 4,000-
900 were coined. Then there was a ces-
sation of coinage until February, 1896,
since when it has been continuous at
about the monthly average stated. ST.
simultaneously there has gone on a de-
crease in the Sherman notes issued I'M
der the act of 1890, until but S113, 914, 2S0
Of the $155, 900 issued are reported
as in circulation on July 81, and on Oct.
10 but $11O,6 ,2SO were outstanding.
While some of the dollars coined this
year have gone to replace coin so
abraded as to be uncurrent, and some
to redeem silver certificates, the bulk
has gone to replace 'Shermans" pre-
scented for redemption in silver and
cancelled. $45, 26S,772 of the notes have
been Cancelled since August, 1898.
The decrease in these notes is due
to the action Of Secretary Carlisle,
taken in August, 1898, under the pro-
visions of the act of 1890. That act
