The silver free coinage people are
making soft beds on which to fall, they
imagine when they say, as do num-
Der of our free coinage exchanges, that
if the discoveries in new gold fields are
as great as reported in the Northwest,
Alaska, California, Missouri and other
parts. the necessity for free coinage of
silver may cease, and the great volume
of gold take it out of the category of
precious metals by decreasing its value,
and hence. silver and gold will more
nearly approach each other. The truth
is. and it is maintained by the teach
ings of history, that the augmented
volume of gold in circulation dimin
ishes the demand for the less desirable
metal which thereupon falls in price.
That was the result of the South At
rican gold discoveries, and those in the
Northwest and in Alaska will operate
in the same manner. when the volume
of the output becomes sufficiently
large. However, the output of the
Northwest placers will have to be a
hundred times as great as is now esti-
mated to at all affect the situation. The
gold reserve in the United States Treas
ury is in excess of 500. 000, 900 to-day
and it will be a considerable time be-
fore any recent discoveries will add
to the volume a sum equal to that.

THE LUMBER SCHEDULE.

The dogmatic and infiammatory letter
of Governor Pingree of Michigan con-
corning the lumber schedule in the new
tariff law, is quite offset by the calmer
statements of Senator Burrows upon
the floor of the Senate. He set forth
that so far from the lumber rates be-
ing discriminating against the men of
modest means, and the poor man, or
corruptly in the interests of large OPP
orators that that fact WIFI develop that
the schedule will prove of benefit to
the consumer and the poor man.
The mills of the Michigan peninsu-
la are idle to-day and the lumber
workers in distress because of the Ca
madam competition, where the mills
are thriving. The rates in the Dingley
bill on lumber, said Senator Burrows,
are the lowest Of any duty rates in
the bill, being - to IS per cent ad
valorem, and on pine only l per cent.
Whereas, it has been stated that six
men owned all the standing pine in
MlcnlSan- MI burrows SnOWSu llldl
the timber owners are ], 1S6 in pine
alone, and of these 80 are citizens of
Michigan. Instead of being the infa-
NOUS schedule that Governor Pingree
and some Senators had declared Mr..
Burrows looks upon the lumber rate
as the most merftorious in the bill.
He believes that it will be the means
of saving to wood raisers and to the
labor Of the country uncounted mill
ions of dollars.
1t is probable that Senator Burrows
Is far better informed upon the subject
than is Governor Pingree. The latter
is an excitable man, recently indicted
into office, and, while a worthy citizen
of broad sympathies, he is given to
extravagant statements and hysterical
dashes into the realm Of facts, that
are rather damaging to verify.

The San Francisco "Argonaut' in
discussing the muddle into which the
so-called Clarke Road law has thrown
the counties, regarding road manage
ment, excuses the author of the Clarke
law and declares that neither he nor his
bill are blameworthy; that the trouble
is the Governor killed three bills of a
system Of which the Clarke law was a
part and parcel, thus leaving the lat
ter unsupported by the other Acts in
tended to be operative with it. This is
all wrong. The bills of the system
were four in number. They We're or
iginally prepared by the Bureau of
Highways, but were modified by con-
ference committees of the Legislature.
These four bills set up a rounded and
harmonious road system, so far as the
State, county and district roads were
concerned. Neither of them provided
separate administrative boards and
systems for districts as does the Clarke
law. In addition the County Govern
ment bill and an amendment to the law
giving Supervisors jurisdiction over
roads provided for administration of
county and district road systems by
the Boards of Supervisors. One of the
four bills was approved, as also was
the County Government Act and the
amending Act referred to. But the
bill approved was that establishing the
present State Department Of Highways.
which is, however, powerless to enter
upon the proposed scheme of State
highways because the companion bills
We're vetoed. The Clarke law was late
production had no relation whatever to
the four system bills, and was pushed
through at the last moment of the
legislative session, and was approved.
1t comes into conflict with the County
Government Act directly, regarding the
administrative and executive powers of
Boards of Supervisors. If the one Act
stands the other or the part relating
to road supervision cannot; the two
cannot be mingled. The Clarke law is,
therefore, chargeable with all the
trouble of the present, and all the dam
age the roads of the counties are now

taking by the enforced idleness of au-
thority over them while the tangle is
being Strengthened out by the courts.
Had the Governor given the matter
due attention he should have pocketed
the Clarke bill, as he did the Bureau
system bills, which should have become
law. That would have left the County
Government Act regarding roads IN

Congress has adjourned without Gre
ating the monetary commission Oh
inquiry and advice requested by the
President. The House passed the Stone
measure. providing for such a commits
sion. but in the Senate it was so evil
dent that the obstructionists and the
free silverites had combined to defeat
similar action there, that the friends
effort to push a resolution through. 1t
does not speak well for the honesty OF
purpose of the combined opposition,
that it resisted inquiry by non-parti-
san commission, if that was the reason
for the action; or that partisan bias
rose superior to broad craftsmanship
and the good Of the whole country, if
that was the reason; or that free sill
yer men are so intolerant that they
will permit consideration of nothing in
legislation that does not concede abso-
Iutely that their theories are sound,
and have free silver tagged to it. In
either case. the Republican party will
stand fairest in the Judgment Of the
people. 1t proposed that which is rea-
sonable, harmless, if not productive of
successful results, and that is broad,
fair and statesmanlike. If the radi-
calls are absolutely sure that their pro-
posed policy is sound, and the only safe
and desirable one, why should they
fear to trust it before a commission
empowered to inquire and report advice
to Congress?

The Oakland Common Council having
refused to pass an ordinance requiring
the application of the tuberculin test
to cows of diaries in that city, though
the City Board of Health urged the
passage of the order, the San Francisco
health authorities have declared a
quarantine of all milk coming to the
metropolis from Alameda County. This
was right action. The whole county
had to be included in the taboo, be-
cause it would have been impossible for
the inspectors to separate the milk OF
dairfes within from that coming from
without the bounds of Oakland. San
Francisco is the chief market for Ala
media County, and the city has right
to protect itself. As a result, there
fore, great hardship has fallen upon

MISAPPLIED SYMPATHY.

Stockton independent: Mourning for
Violet Cloves, who drowned herself in
San Francisco, is taking a wrong df-
rection. Most of those who write on
the subject, take her message in the
sand for their text, and ignore the
many statements regarding the kind
ness showered upon her. The truth ap-
pears to be that her experience was ex-
ceptionaI so far as the bestowal of
kindness was concerned, and her last
message, written in the sand, was the
emanation of a disordered mind. There
are thousands of girls in San Fran
cisco who have a harder time to make a
living than had Miss Cloves, but they
are not gifted with winning ways and
a weakness for lightning changes of
religious views and at the same time
an ambition to shine on the stage.
Mourning over the death of a girl, who
was plainly insane, instead of seeking
to arouse sympathy for the living who
still struggle, may read well, but it is
idle grief If her fate is of any value
to the world that value is as an Incl
dent to arouse charity to seek out our
StrugglerS and relieve them as the be-
nevolent Mrs. De Young tried to help
Miss Cloves, and whose help would

Whether one gold mining excitement
naturally gives birth to another is a
question. but it is a fact that a re-
markable gold discovery in one section
is usually followed by news of rich
strikes in other parts. The Clondyke
placer discoveries, now SO engrossing
attention. are supplemented by news
of important discoveries in Peru. A
good authority on Bolivia, declares
that in the latter country there is more
gold than in the Northwest; that it is
more easily taken out, and without any
of the hardships to be encountered in
the Arctic region. Even from the State
of Missouri comes news of the discov-
cry of gold quartz lodges, while in
Shasta and in Trinity Counties in our
own State, extensive new gold deposits
are reported as uncovered.
