GOLD AND SILVER.

Gold mining in Arizona has been exceedingly profitable. Interest in min ing in the territory was never greater than it is at present And yet to lis ten to the ''16 to r yawpers one ignor- ait of the true situation in Arizona might get the impression that mining here stepped when silver began to lose it's value. It IS characteristic of these people that they ignore facts and figures in dealing with the financial question. They talk about ''the good old days" when Tombstone was a won derful silver camp, and say nothing about the dozens of prosperous gold camps BOW scattered about Arizona. Put these fellows to the test and you will see that their devotion to silver is not even skin deep. A well known banker said to the writer a few days ago that during the campaign of 1896, when the indications favored the cleo tion of Bryan, he noticed particularly that some of the most conspicuous To-
 
 nothing but gold when they handed checks over the counter to be dashed. They didn't care to take any chances. It is the same way today Nobody wants silver except to make change If free silver were to be instituted to- morrow plenty of free silver men in Arizona would go to boarding gold.
 The republicans will so adjust the finances in the next year or two that all United States money under the de- nomination of $10 will be silver. That will give the country silver enough to throw to the birds if it is so inclined. In the meantime the ''16 to P people may keep on shouting. Their noise is really diversion in these days of gen. era1 prosperity.

A BIG WHEAT CROP.

Notwithstanding all the talk of crop injury, Thoman's August report prom ises maximum yield of wheat and a supply of corn which will exceed that
 of 1894 by 500,0OO,OO0 or COG, ,OO0, 900 bushels. The total amount of wheat looked for on this basis is over 700,-
 000G00 bushels, of corn over 1,7OO,- eco 900 bushels. The indications are
 thus of a comparatively short crop of
 COTE and of stock of the finer grain sufficiently large to affect the rising tendency of prices for the commoner cereal. Some singular phenomena are
 apparent in the growth of the grains. Washington and Oregon will produce the largest crops of wheat in their his tory, though California will cease to expert. The two northerly states will
 thus be able to fill the wants of all consumers in the rest of the Pacific
 coast wheat region. Again, Minnesota this year takes a high rank as a winter
 wheat state. the product averaging, it
 is said, thirty bushels to the acre. St uth Dakota passed through 8 drought eaTlier in the season, but in spite Of that the total yield of the Da-
 kotas and Minnesota will be fully
 11,0G0,000 bushels larger than las, l year. These figures give a faint idea of the millions in money that will flow to cur shores when this tremendous crop begins to move. The good times i cycle is surely with us now

The thirteenth article of the Texas state democratic resolution was an en- dorsement of Colonel Bryan for the presidency in 1900. Colonel Bryan is probably old enough to have overcome his early superstitions, yet it may be that he would have preferred some other enumeration, especially as the thirteenth article is likewise the last and Colonel Bryan's experience at the end of the line has not heretofore been altogether enjoyable

The Destructive English Sparrow.

Ionce saw single pugnacious lit
tie house wren engage whole flock
of English sparrows. He was more
than a match for three or four of
them; but in the end, regret to say,
he was killed outright before my eyes.
This is the only instance of the kind,I
have ever seen. A lady friend tells
me that Baltimore oriole started to
build his wonderful, pensile nest last
season in an apple tree near her home
and that the English sparrows made
bitter war upon him and his house.
She watched the struggle one evening,
and the next morning the oriole not
appearing she went into her garden
and found him lying dead under the
apple tree with his head pecked open.
I have often been witness to the VIC
lent interferences by them in the
nest-building Of robins and orioles,
and, outnumbered as our native birds
are, they always relinquish their task.
Here is problem: A report pre-
sented to us by the department. OF ag-
riculture shows that a single pair OF
English sparrows may,in a single dec.
ade, bring into existence 275, no, 983,
698 descendants. What is to become
of our beautiful native song-birds
when the English sparrow swarms
over the land? As yet, except imme-
diately around the farmhouses, this
offensive bird is not often seen in the
country districts. Lynn T. Sprague,

Professor Henry G. Adams observes
in the Atlantic: ''The merchant, the
manufacturer and the farmer, work.
ing under conditions OF industrial lib
erty, do not seem to require any Pc
culiar supervision on the part OF the
state, for competition is adequate to
insure relative justice as between
custom, as we'll a., the sale of goods at
fair price. But in the railway in
dustry, competition does not work so
benefcent result. On the con-
trary, such is its nature that it imposes
on railway managers the necessity OF
disregarding equity between custom.
ers, and of fixing rates without con-
sidering their fairness, whether judged
from the point of view of cost or OF
social results. Were this not true
there would be no railway problem.
The railway industry is an extensive
and not an intensive industry. Abil-
ity to perform unit of service cheap
ly depends more upon the quantity Of
business transacted than upon atten-
ton to minute details. The expenses
incident to the operations OF railway
do not increase in proportion to the
increase in the volume of traffic. This
does not pertain to the business OF the
manufacturer, the merchant or the
farmer, but is peculiar to The business
of transportation. 1t is adequate to
explain why vail advanced peoples have
surrounded the administration OF
railways with peculiar legal restric-
tions. The necessity Of some sort
of government control lies in the NO.
ture Of the business itself.
