England and Silver.

The silver question i daily becoming
more prominent in England. A cable
from London states that the members
of the Royal Exchange of Manchester,
to the number of 1000, have memorial
lied the Government to carry out it's
pledges to do all possible to ecure a
stable par of exchange between gold
and silver, and suggest that a compro-
mise between the extreme views of tho
gold monometallists and silver men be
resorted to as a way out of the present
difficulties. Manchester is the seat Of
the great cotton spinning and weaving
industry of England, and has suffered
severely from the loss of trade in the
Orient, which is directly traceable to
fluctuations of exchange due to the de-
monetization of silver. The attitude
of this important body will help to ex-
plain the position Of the Government
on the subject of the Bank of England
silver reserve. which was enormously
attributed in the first instance to Il de-
sire to be civil to the United States.
No such desire exists. Whatever force
there may be to the bimetallic move
ment in England at present is wholly
duo to British agitation, and not to eN-
ternal pressure. And it may be pre-
dicted with absolute safety that condi-
tions are now formingin England which
will soon make the silver II practical
question and force its settlement upon
lines which are sure to prove satisfact-

An exchange states that the United
States Minister at Buenos Ayres writes
The Department of State that agents OF
the British war Office recently have
purchased 400 horses for use in the
British Army operating in Africa.
They will be used in the cavalry and
mounted infantry. The horses for the
former service cost $50 United States
gold, and for the latter S26. 10.
Secretary Wilson OF the Department
of Agriculture. has been Investigating
the demand for cavalry horses in Eu-
rope and has come to h conclusion
that our own western range horses, by
virtue of their powers of endurance and
the hardness of their hoofs, arethe best
suited for military purposes OF any in
the world. The attention of the mill
tary authorities of Europe will be called
10 the matter and there is a strong
probability that the raising OF horses
in our western states will again become
a profitable industry.

In connection with the approaching
elections IN Salt Lake City, the latest
sensation is the address OF President
MILFORD Wo6druf at the last session OF
the Mormon gon3ence on the 9th
inst. He arose just before the adjourn
ment of the conference and advised the
Mormons to unite in politics and dis
card partisanship. He said: The day
has come when you must put aside
Democracy and Republicanism, and as
Latter-Day Saints unite and you Will
not be taxed to death" Also: This
idea Of principle, of being afraid to do
something because you are Democrats
or Republicans is wrong. 1t is your
duty to get together and appoint men
for every capacity in the State, and
City"
These words are in direct contradic-
ton to the pledges of all the leaders of
the Church which we're made at the
time that Utah was applying for state
hood, and also of President Woodruff's
own words The Tribune is prone to
pass over the episode on tho ground

Down NTH, dimiy lighted interior of
the Treasury Building four OF the Sec
rotary s subo,dinates are counting the
contents of Uncle Sans Treasure
vaults, amounting to $767, 1872, 216. This
is always done when a change occurs In
the office of the Treasurer of the Unit
ed States. The gentlemen now having
the matter in charge are Messrs. e. b.
Daskman, Chairman; A. 7. Hun
|tington. NJ. r.. Vance and Howard
Elliot. The latter represents the new
Treasurer. Ellis II. Roberts, while the
others act on the part of the govern
meat. especially the retiring Treasurer
d. n. Morgan. who on the completion
OF the count takes Il receipt for the
funds. So correctly kept arc the books
of this immense financial institution
that the least shortage is readily dis
covered and must be traced. Notwith-
standing the absolute certainty of dis
covery, the temptation to steal is too
great to be resisted by some of the EN-
ployes, and only Il few days ago one of
the negro laborers assisting the com
miltec helped himself to Il few depre-
ciutcd silver dollars, was found out,
confessed, and is now in tho district
jail awaiting trial. An occasional theft
like this is the exception that proves
the rule of. honesty.
The committee began its labors on
July /, and will probably complete the
count some time this month. The fol-
lowing are the present contents Of the
vaults in the United States Treasurer's
Office:
Vault Amount, SOB. 733, 900; de-
seription, standard silver dollars;
halves, #345, 600. Vault Amount,

mixed moneys received daily for re-

curity for national bank circulation,
etc. Vault S-Amount, $40, 900, 600;
description, held as reserve to replace
worn and mutilated notes unfit for cir
culation. Total, 1857, 1872, PIG.
The silver vault is the largest in the
world, being 50 feet long, 81 wide and
II feet high.
The latter section Of the Treasury
Chambers is the most interesting and
is open to the general public, who view
its interior from Il dungeon-like corri-
dor when accompanied by a messenger
of the department., and then only
through the bars of a securely locked
steel door. where Il C~erebus-like con-

The silver is packed in small sacks,
holding 81, 900 each, and weighs 80
pounds ! ounces. 1t is counted by
weight and the least deficiency or de-
feet in the bag is sufficient cause for re-
lection. Such Il sack goes to the issue

cally by an expert, placed on the scales.

MENDlNG BROKEN TREES.
Peculiar Results of Half-GirdlinE
with Wire Bands.

In going through an old orchard
where the great gales of the fall of
1894 blew over many trees, cutting and
splitting off half the tops of others, l
was struck, says j. H. Hale, in the
Connecticut Courant, with the amount
of abuse peach tSee will stand and
yet recover. In clearing up the wreck
age some of the split trees were bolted
together, others had wire bands put
on, and still others had the broken half
cut away entirely, the split trunks
smoothed up with drawing knife and
the one-sided head shortened in to bal
ance it little better. Trees treated
in the latter method, while having a
Scared trunk, with bark only on one
side, have full roundabout heads, as
good as though no harm had been done,
while the wiring process has girdled
many limbs and left pretty poor trees.
The bolted trees look fairly well, but
none are so good as those that were
thoroughly pruned, with no attemp
to save broken limbs. This experience
covered about 1000 trees. and in any
future breaking o. splitting down I
shall cut everything away, confident
that however lopsided a tree may be.
two years new growth will put it in
better shape than by any other method.
A peculiar result of half-girdling some
trees with wire bands, was that the
fruit borne on them has been larger
and of brighter color, ripening from
ten days to two weeks earlier than the
same varieties of trees without wire
bands. This might be an advantage
in some seasons with certain varieties,
and If only a portion of a tree were
gifdled at one time, no serious harm
would come of il.

and his thoughts were very unpleasant
companions just then. Uueasily he
paced his narrow quarters. His eyes
fell upon a book on the table and he
opened it. 1t was the Bible. In all
Pen Walkers life he had never been
taught the truths of Gods book. He
could not recall ever having held a BIZ
BILE in his hands before. But now he
began TO read it, and its wonderful
power was felt. The tears came thick
and fast, and he cried to God for par
don of his sins, and his earnest prayer
was answered. Then and there he be-
gan a new life, and determined if he
were acquitted to do all he could to
atone for the past. When he walked
from the courthouse a free man he
thanled God and renewed his resolution
to live thereafter for Him.
The very first invitation that came to
aim was from the lawyer at his side,
who asked him to take a drink" but
with royal courage he said no"
His wandering steps led him to the
place of all others where he would find
help and encouragement. He followed
the crowd surging into the great hall
and heard Mr.. Moody's earnest words,
and 1T was there that he confessed his
past life and his determination to live
for Christ that had been made ~ read
