EARLY In 1882 congress, most unwisely, in my
opinion, authorized the issue Of legal tender
paper TO circulate as money, and the usual and
Inevitable result followed. Gold ceased to be
used as money and the banks and the treasury
having suspended specie payments, the coun-
try was flooded with deprecated currency
worth at times less than 50 cents on the dollar.
Later on fractional paper currency was au-
shorized by congress- and the effect Of this
was to drive out Of circulation even the light
weight subsidiary coins, and for many years
not q single piece Of metallic money Of any
kind was used by the people except ON the Pa

frankly admit that in our opinion,
in some instances, the Senator
might have been happier in his
recommendations, and upon oc-
casion, have not hesitated to .pro-
test; but because the Senator has
not been guided and controlled
by US, is not, we think. a suffi-
Gent justification for regarding
him as dishonest or incompetent.

NO WHITE PINE DOOR.

A Salt Lake Herald cores.
pondent says that Governor
Steunenberg is in a fair way to
retire from the executive chair a
very wealthy man. The Govern
or's friends will not begrudge
him his extreme good fortune. 1t
is well known that he assumed
office very poor man, and if by
the exercise of that economy Gin
cident to ordinary business meth
odS," he has succeeded in max
ing himself rich, in two years,
he is certainly entitled to warm
congratulations. The Governors
phenomenal rise in the financial
world, says the same authority, is
due to some fortunate mining
investments. That is further oc-
casion for felicitatien, because
"WhitessPine Deals" have former
ly been supposed to be the basis
OF gubernatorial prosperity.
Governor Mcconnell was serious
" at fault insomuch as he failed to
identify himself with profitable
mining interests. Had he done
so, he might have retired rich and
respectable and his friends could
look a White Pine ia the face with
the same degree of eQuanimity
that Governor Steunenberg's
friends do. The character and
location of Governor Steunen-
berg's mining interests are not
generally known, but that is inn
material. The foundation Of
President Cleveland's fortune was
laid in Canadian coal and iron
mines-the Governor may be
operating in Alaska on the Brit
ish side. There are some rich
properties in that region. The
Herald correspondent also asserts
that the Governor is being
"groomed" for the United States
