Life insurance companies are now
making reduced rates on policies to
all teetotallers who apply for a risk.
This is also pretty good start for a
temperance society and savings
bank, as many a man who used to
drink occasionally and pay the ordi-
nary premium for insurance, now
double shoots the turn under the total
abstinence policy. He saves at both
ends and probably makes better
husband and father.

SLIM CHANCE FOR SILVER.

SLIM CHANCE FOR SILVER.
The first real hard work that this
administration will not do, will be the
opening of a mint at Manila for the
coinage of silver, although the need
is apparent. The United States must
control the medium of exchange there,
and the suggestion has been made
that a mint be established at Manila.
For years, indeed, hundreds of
years, the currency of the Philippines
has been Spanish. The Mexican cur
rency is of comparatively recent date.
Both currenci-s were fairly stable un-
til Great Britain and America estab-
lished the single gold standard. Since
that time the values of the silver cur
rency of the orient, whether in India,
China or the Philippines, have fluctu-
ated with the supply Of gold and the
demands of the more civilized ma
lions for the all powerful yellow met
al.
In the Philippines the Mexican dol
lar is generally used. The poorer ma
tives seldom see gold piece and have
little knowledge of the fluctuations of
the dollar. At the rate quoted Satur-
day the Mexican dollar, which con-
tains little less silver than the Ameri-
can dollar, was worth about so cents
gold. 1t has been quoted as low as
Al cents, but in the last five years
rarely has it gone above SO cents. It
is not backed by any gold supply, nor
is it reedemable in Mexico, dollar for
dollar with gold, as is the American
silver coin in the United States.
The Mexican dollar can not last
long in American possessions, If COM
merce increases at the rate predicted
for it. There must be an American
silver coin to acquaint all the natives
with the shape of the American eagle
and the letters forming United
States" American currency must be-
come the legal tender of the islands,
must displace great deal of the
silver coins in Philippine banks, be-
cause it will be stable and contracts
can be made on the American basis
that will be fair to the laborer and the
capitalist.
Commenting on the above the Spo
kane Review correctly considers that
the west is more interested than any
other section of the United States, be
cause of the possibility that marke
will be opened for the surplus silver
II American silver coins are to b,
used in the Philippines instead of tn
Mexican article, it follows that tn
silver from which the new coins ar
minted shall be from American mines
Director Roberts of the United State
mint believes the price of America
silver will be enhanced by the estal
lishment of a mint at Manila. If 1
cents more value is given the ounc,
it will result in opening scores of 81
yer mines and giving employment
hundreds of miners. For instanc

quite common in silver mines. A
additional value of 10 cents per ount
would mean So per ton, and in mar
camps would pay enough of the shi
ping and milling charges to allow Il
plants to run at a small profit.

ASKS $4,000 DAMAGE.
James n. McAllister Sues Rocky Fork
Coal Company for Injuries.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Red Lodge, Nov. ia suit of consid>
erable magnitude was begun in the dis
trict court late yesterday afternoon by
James H. McAllister, who filed a COM
plaint asking damages in the sum of
$4,000 from the Rocky Fork Coal COM
pany, for injuries sustained while in
the employ of the company.
McAlister is at present night police
man, but formerly worked in the coal
mines. On March s, 1900, SO the COM
plaint recites, AicAllister was ordered by
the mine foreman to operate an electrical
coal shearer, and while placing the heavy
machine in position, clamp failed to
work, and the machine fell backwards, a
bar striking McAllister in the right eye,
totally destroying the sight of the organ,
and injuring the remaining eye.
1t is alleged that McAIlister was laid
up for three months as a result of the
injury, and the complaint recites that
his earning capacity is forever les
sened. 1t is alleged that the negli-
;gence of the agents of the company was
responsible for the accident, as 1t was
the duty of the foreman to inspect the
various parts of the machinery. George
w. Pierson is attorney for McAllister.

miles east of The Needles. The west
bound limited was two hours late and
was making up time between Albur-
querque and The Needles.
The crew of the east-bound limited,
for a reason as yet unknown, dlsre-
garded orders by five or six minutes ana
two miles east of Franconia, the two
trains crashed into each other, without
warning.

The coroner responded promptly, and,
owing to the fear entertained by the wo-
men who witnessed the final scenes Of
the tragedy of being summoned as Wit
nesses, Mr.. johnson met with difficulties
in trying to throw light on the manner
of death.
Coroner and Attorney Clash.
There was sensational scene between
the coroner and Attorney Dixon, who,
according to Mr.. Johnsons statement,
tried to suppress the evidence.
The attorney insisted that the women
should not talk, and the coroner lost no
time in informing the lawyer Of his
breach of official discipline.
Mr.. Dixon insisted upon his right as
an attorney, and for few moments IL
looked as if the coroner would exert his
authority and place Dixon under arrest.
The matter was ended with the taking
of testimony by the coroner from all
present, regardless Of the protests Of the
attorney.
Conflicting Statements Made.
Ruhl had been, according to the room
ers, in the habit of kicking the door shut
with his foot In passing floor, and this
fact is insisted upon by the owners of
the building as the cause of his death.
The coroner is proceeding upon infor-
nation received to the effect that the ele-

and has ran away several times.
