Time Will Cure,

With wages going down, as Senator Elkins
says they must, and with the prices of the
necessaries of life going up under the high
tariff as everybody knows they will the fu-
ture OF the wage-earner is not very cheerful
under the blessings of gold standard Fair

Fortunately, ''the gold standard"
has nothing to do with the philosophy
which the Inder wrings out of Senator
Elkins' discouraging prospective-no
more than the fact that we still live
under regime wherein four pecks
constitute bushel.
But Elkins did talk of gold, saying,
IN effect, that the stock to be added
during the next ten years would make
the worlds per capita so large that
silver, as an occasion of popular
lunacy, would be wilfully and de-
llberately forgotten by million

The average" Business.

On THE CREEK, May II, 1897.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
About this time of the school year
some teachers are treated to reduc-
ton in salary on the arbitrary ground
that there is not sufficient "avcrage"
attendance.
This is only another way of deliber-
ately taking from these teachers the
money previously appropriated by the
county commissioners to pay full
salaries for the year.
The fact that there is falling off in
the attendance near the end of the
school year should not be charged to
teachers any more than to the exam
lner, nor should teachers on that or
any other account suffer more fnan-
cially.
When teachers are compelled to pay
Janitors' fees they are made to bear
unjust taxation. but to still pluck
spoils from their salaries because of
the failure of pupils to keep up an ar
bltrary average which changes so
frequently with the whims of parents
and other circumstances, is poor pol
icy by which to encourage good teach
ers to remain in the profession.
1t is strange, indeed, to say the
least, that in all retrenchments in
school finances teachers have to bear
the burden. EXPERIENCE.

a Plain Duty.

The financial statement, published
last week, indicates a floating indebt-
edness of $4,725, which, long as it
stands. involves an expenditure of
$2S3.5O per onmum.
Part of this was occasioned last year
by expenditures for services not con-
templated by law. The Mayor and
Councilmen, neither personally nor
officially, should receive more than
$500 per amman, yet last year the bills
for committee service" nearly doubled
that sum.
10 moralize upon the results of such
administration is probably needless,
but among the first duties incumbent
upon the new body is the extinguish-
ment of the floating debt.
This is especially desirable in view
of the Mayors project to refund the
water debt, as it is not likely such
lnanclerlng as recent reports exhibit
will inspire that confidence which
moneyed people seek in the security
offered in exchange for investment.
Investors will not fall over each other
in Il rush for the bonds of a corpora
ton whose custOdians are running it
just as though the town owed no debt.

Look at This.

The sum of So $50 is required to pay
the annual interest on the water bonds.
The report shows that last year the
sum paid was $2,GS5.25.
There appears to be, therefore,
$26S.75 still due bondholders
amount which does not show among
the liabilities.
How much is owing for each other
year since 1890 is question that real
investigators in the Council might as
certain with profit to the town.
This discovery brings the known
floating Indebtedness to very nearly
$1,000.
1t is time to call halt.
And pre-eminently time to ascer-
tain and answer to the people the
paramount where are we
at ?"
