Ii the government issues $42, 600. 900 in
silver certificates based upon tho seignor-
age, as Mr.. Wolcotts amendment to
the revenue bill recently adopted by the
Senate proposes. we shall base them, not
upon an asset, but upon debt The sill
yer which we purchased under the Sher-
man act cost us 90, "A cents per ounce
while today the market price is only go
cents per ounce If we should sell it to-
day we could not realize more than that
figure and as matter of fact would have
TO take probably much less in order to
dispose of it at all. Instead of gain of
Sl2 000,c00 to base that amount of certiti-
Gates upon there is a loss of much more
than that. Of course this is not the way
that Mr.. Woloott figures. He calls the
coming value of the silver-$1. 80 an ounce
Its real value and as its cost was g. "A
cents per ounce of course on this basis
he is able to show profit. This will do
for free silver man who assumes that
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
10 to will raise the market value of all
the silver in the world to ST.. 90 an ounce,
and to man who sincerely believes that
this coinage of the seignorage may appear
to be all right. But the man who does
not believe that free coinage will raise
the whole mass of silver to 81. 20 an ounce
cannot subscribe to the Wolcott PROPOSE
ton of coming the seignorage without
subscribing to what he believes will be a
fraud The majority of the House of
Representatives are not believers in the
free silver theory. hence if they indorse
the coinage of the seignorage and the is
sue Of certificates basel thereo they will
be guilty Of deliberately and knowingly
placing in circulation a form of money
protesting to be based upon an asset,
when in fact there is no asset behind it
in short they will be guilty of knowingly
giving their endorsement to statement
that they believe to be a lie.

When Gen. Fitz Lee, upon his return
to the capital from Cuba, made his off
hand little speech to the crowd that rs.
sembled around his hotel he alluded
pleasantly to the gratifying union" of
New York and Virginia by referring to
the presence of the band that came over
to Wa shington for the occasion from New
York City. A New York man who now
makes his home in Washington and who
recently married a pretty Virginia girl
was with his wife in the crowd OF
citizens Informally received by Gen. Lee
after the ovation. When the New York
man drew near to the Consul General he
took his biushing wife by the hand, and,
leading her up to the distinguished
Virginian, said:
Gen. Lee, You see before you a union
of Nsw York and Virginia.
Gen. Lee extended his hand to the
bride pleasantly, and inquired;

ON THE MoNTAUK.
A Bangor Mans Story of His Life ON the
Monitor,
Bangor Commercial. J

A. p. Richardson, one of Bangor S
well known residents and prominent
bslilder of the city, is particularly inter
ested in the old monitor Montauk, which
is at present on duty, after a vacation of
nearly 90 years, guarding Portland har-
Dor from the attacks of Spanish gun
boats. He served five months on board
of her as quartermaster.
1t was in 1878 that Mr.. Richardson
entered the navy, a call having been
made by the government for recruits in
that year. He was in Philadelphia and
seeing the notices asking for men, imme-
! diately took the examinations and went
aboard training ship, later joining the
Montauk.
| During his term of three years, Mr..
Richardson had many interesting and
thrilling experiences and during the So
called Virginius affair, he was stationed
| on one of the ships on duty in Santiago
harbor, which now contains the Spanish
feet, and which is being guarded by
Commodore Schley.

those days." said Mr.. Richardson to a
Commercial man, Saturday, although
she must be rather played out now after
being anchored in one place for nearly
&c years with nothing to do but to rust.
According to reports, though, she seems
10 be in pretty fair condition. When
was in her the crew numbered about 10f
men and Lieut.. William Morgan was in
command
"The great trouble with al the moni.
tors was that they couldn't be controlled.
1t was next to impossible to steer the
things and if anything was within half a
mile OF her course she was almost sure to
run into it. The difficulty in steering
was on account of the dead water under
her stern, and this nearly prevented the
use Of the rudder.'
here Mr. Richardson rela ted an Incl
dent which well illustrates the difficulty
IN managing the monitors. One day,
while the Montauk was in harbor, sis.
ter monitor came steaming into the port
and made for her usual moorings But
instead of continuing in her course, she
fell off and made directly for the dock
OF a harbor ferry boat.
she was only about II inches out of
water SO nothing prevented her from slip
ping right up under the pier and this
she did Until the turret brought up
oEttAhSu bAo WHAT W uSfl tu0T0 Was ID CIctsu
ana her progress was stopped.
During the five months / was on
board the Montauk.'' MIR. Richardson
said, I'VE had target practice frequently
HE guns were pretty good ones then,
TOO. We could hit mark nearly every
time when we were still but it was hard
trick to do while the ship was under
way. for she was mighty poor boat to
lnanoeuvre When practicing there were
% men in the turret, II at each gun.
She was such poor sailor that she never
went even out in the bay without a con-
yoy.'
Mr. Richardson thinks that the Mon
tank might still be of some use as q pro
lection to harbor from the attack of an
unarmored cruiser, but ne says that
against an armored or protected ships he
would not last long. As for manoeuvre-
ing IN actual battle, she would be utterly
useless.

IL the free silver forces-Democrat
Populists and Silver Republicans-were
united in Creeon against the Republicans
yet they were defeated by 10000 majo ri
ty. AS Oregon heretofore has been a
strong free silver state this indicates that
the free silver movement has reached high
water mark and is now declining. It is
altogether improbable that the decline is
peculiar to Oregon, but the chances are
that it will show itself all over the West.
GOOD crops and good prices for them
probably account for it more than any
thing else The great majority of the
support of free silver was Influenced by
the notion that it would prove remedy
for hard times. The disease having dis
appeared there is of course no demand for
the remedy.

result was virtually Spanish victory,

OF the many weekly papers published
in Denver-those issued by the offices OF
the dailies excepted-the Rocky Noun
tain Sentinel, w. c. Calhoun editor and
publisher, is the only one that has gained
wide circulation, and as the leading
illustrated story paper of the west has
no competitor. 1t chronicles the pro-
gross OF Colorado's industries and its
editorials are songs of praise, painting in
word pictures the matchiess magni6cence
OF the sublime scenery of the Rockies;
telling of the health restoring ozone of
the Centennial State resorts, and OF the
benefits of our bounteous sunshine. 1t
Is remarkable among Denver papers in
the fact that it docs not weary its readers
with the slush of politics and attendant
evils of the city of its home. 1t is, the
ideal western weekly for the eastern man
